Time of Reading 11:10 to 11:25 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., N.Y.
1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. As we find, there are disturbances with this body. Much of these, however, are tied up with the emotional natures of the body. And here we find some of those conditions of which many bodies should be warned - the opening of centers in the body-spiritual without correctly directing same, which may oft lead to wrecking of the body-physical and sometimes mental.
4. Know where you are going before you start out, in analyzing spiritual and mental and material things.
5. This is not belittling the seeking of knowledge, neither is it advising individuals - or this individual - to seek knowledge. But knowledge without the use of same still remains, as in the beginning, sin. And be sure your sins will find you out!
6. Here we have an emotional body well versed in the study of meditation, the study of transmission of thought, with the ability to control others.
7. Don't control others. Suppose thy God controlled thee without thy will? What would you become, or what would you have been?
8. But you were made in the image of thy Creator, to be a companion with Him - not over someone else, but a companion with thy brother and not over thy brother. Hence do not act that way, because ye have the greater ability or greater knowledge of control of others.
9. Then, as we would give for this body - for this is psychological as well as pathological - we would begin again to study - this time the Book.
10. Begin with Exodus 19:5.
3428-1 Page 2
11. Then read again and know thoroughly the 20th chapter of Exodus.
12. Study then thoroughly and apply personally the 30th of Deuteronomy, and apply it in the terms of the 23rd Psalm.
13. Thus ye will make thyself new.
14. As to physical applications:
15. At least once each week we would have a general hydrotherapy treatment, including first a mild Cabinet Sweat followed by a needle shower, and then a massage using this combination of oils: Olive Oil (heated).............2 ounces, Tincture of Myrrh..............2 ounces, Calamus Oil...................10 drops. Massage these oils into the spine itself, also in the areas especially of the ribs, around each rib, around the central bone or sternum or breastbone, around the collarbone, especially over the areas of the 9th dorsal, 11th and 12th dorsals, and throughout the sacral areas.
16. If we will do these, we will find much bettered conditions for this body.
17. The abilities are unlimited, but as the warnings are given in Exodus as well as in Deuteronomy, know how they may be centralized for thy brethren in "The Lord is my shepherd" and not Mr. [3428] but thy Lord, thy God.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) Is the focal center of the disease in the brain or some other part of the body? (A) As indicated, it is in those centers - the seven centers of the body - where sympathetic and cerebrospinal coordinate the more; 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical; 1st and 2nd dorsal; 5th and 6th dorsal; 9th dorsal; 11th and 12th dorsal; and through the lumbar and sacral areas. These are the sources. This is not an infection - it is the lack of coordination between the impulses of the mental self and the central nerve and blood supply.
20. (Q) Are there any organic changes due to the disease? (A) All of the organic changes are due to this condition, of lack of coordination.
21. (Q) Does sexual expression or repression cause this condition, or have any effect on same? (A) This was a part of the beginnings of it; for when the lyden (Leydig) glands are opened, which are in the gonads - or the centers through which the expression of generation begins, they act directly upon the centers through the body. Unless these find expression they disintegrate, or through

thy association cause dis-association in impulse and the central or body-nerves.
22. (Q) Are there any mental attitudes involved in the cause of this disease? (A) As indicated. Do as outlined - we will have the results, according to thy faith and thy works; not by faith alone but by faith AND works.
