Time of Reading 10:55 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Virginia.
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, [4037].
3. In analyzing the disturbances as we find here, many things are to be taken into consideration if there would be the perfect understanding of the disorders and disturbances. We find that these arise from a condition which arose from hurt, hurt in the mental and spiritual self, the overanxiety of the body; and then a disappointment that, as it were, broke the spirit, broke the desire and purposes of the body; causing, yes, physical conditions to arise.
4. But here, in analyzing, we find the close association between the physical body, the mental body, spiritual body of an individual. While the hurt was in the mental body and the disappointment in the greater part was in the spiritual body, we find that the reaction comes about in the physical being.
5. This, in its manifestation, affects the spleen as related to the blood and nerve supplies in the body.
6. Thus we have a form physically, of anemia which will, unless measures are taken, gradually grow more and more of the pernicious or violent nature in the destruction of the vital energies necessary for physical, mental and spiritual reaction and coordination through the body.
7. The effects are for the body to become so easily tired because of the lack of vital energies. The addition to the body of energy-building forces has not removed the hurt, the disappointment. For this has attacked, as it were, the physical body through the sensory and sympathetic nervous systems; thus causing the character of reaction. Not that
4037-1 Page 2
there is any mental disturbance, no; it is rather a hurt, an injury, a disappointment such that there can only come the renewing, the revivifying, by the whole trust, the whole faith, the whole renewed life within the mental and spiritual aspects of the body being put in divine hands.
8. Then physically apply the necessary energies to revivify, to replenish the energies, the energy-supplying efforts, so that even from the structural portions of body there may be the rebuilding or supplying from that assimilated in physical digestion, the red blood cellular forces to overcome the physical deficiencies and those tendencies of the energies of the body to be destroyed within the own physical self.
9. We begin first then with the mental attitude. Do the first things first. Begin by the closer study within self of self, as related to the universal consciousness or God. The manifestations indicated in His word, then, must be the basis for this re-lighting, this reviving, this replenishing of the attitudes of the mind and of the spiritual self from those injuries, those hurts, those disappointments.
10. Let's begin like this: First, don't be overanxious. Know that it is within self and that what may be supplied by mechanical means is only the means to an end, and the good that may arise from same is only that this form of application may attune the body to that which may gain in its own mental self, by a study, by an analysis of the relation of self to the universal consciousness or God.
11. Begin, then, here: Read Exodus 19:5, then the whole 30th chapter of Deuteronomy. Then turn to Romans, read the whole book of Romans; not analyzing but rather knowing that each of these portions refers to self. These are the activities within self. Then begin with St. John 14, 15, 16, 17. Know these almost by heart, but rather as they apply to self, as they each refer to self. For here are promises. They apply to this body as an individual. For the very fact that ye are conscious of yourself should be the assurance that He, the Father-God, is mindful of thee as an individual entity and that ye have work to do. He is depending upon thee for the knowledge, for the glorifying, for the opportunity to glorify Himself through thee. Do this first.
12. Then, after a period of some two to three weeks, apply mechanically the Radio-Active Appliance for one hour each day, or an hour and a half. This is not as a shocking machine of any electrical forces outside of the body itself. Make the attachments to the wrist and to the opposite ankle, alternating in the usual manner, it will attune the whole
4037-1 Page 3
body-forces themselves in their vibrations within self to the infinite. Be very mindful to keep the attachment plates clean, being mindful of the instructions as to how this little mechanical appliance works. Use that period each day to meditate and pray.
13. Then live the normal life; that is, be oft in the open. The better exercise is walking.
14. During the hour before the Appliance is attached, apply over the spleen area - that is, across the diaphragm from the lower portion of the right rib, across the left rib; that is, the very low portion and the left side - the Glyco-Thymoline Packs; using three to four thicknesses of cotton cloth saturated with the Glyco-Thymoline. Apply over this the salt heat; that is, take common table salt, spread it about one-half to an inch thick and make a pad, sewing this together so that it doesn't get in great clogs and heat by putting in the oven. When the Glyco-Thymoline Packs are applied, lie this hot salt over same. Keep on for at least thirty minutes. When this is taken off, attach the Radio-Active Appliance. When the Glyco-Thymoline Packs are being prepared, prepare the Appliance; that is, put the Appliance in the ice. Then connect the lead wires to be attached to the body, when ready to attach to the body.
15. In the periods of meditation, to be sure use thine own words, according to thine own reactions from what you read in the references given, but in this manner:
16. GOD, SUPPLY THAT NEEDED IN MY BODY, IN MY MIND, IN MY PURPOSE; THAT I MAY BE THE BETTER CHANNEL TO GLORIFY THEE IN THE EARTH JUST NOW, IN EVERY WAY THOU WOULD HAVE ME GO.
17. In the diet, do include often such as liver, beef juice, rather than the beef or meat itself; plenty of sea foods, plenty of vegetables - especially raw vegetables.
18. Do these and we will find better conditions coming to this body.
19. Ready for questions.
