Time of Reading 11:35 to 11:50 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Illinois. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we find the body here, as we have had before, [4289].
2. More receptivity to the applications shows that there is a better outlook. While it is true that a great deal is resignedness, but of such a nature that it may be truly called patience; rather in the suffering, for the material suffering being lessened with the outlook of the mental forces of the body, this gives respite to the abilities of the mental and physical to coordinate much more properly.
3. We would find that it would be well for there to be some massage from those centers that hinder the activities in locomotion, as from those centers in both the upper portion of dorsal system and lower portion of cervical system, for the locomotion in arm as well as in lumbar, where centers have been impinged by the pressures that are produced by the contracting of muscular forces, that form a lesion which hinders the activity. With those internal applications that have been made, it would be well for some massage in this particular area for relaxing the system, so that the activities of the muscular forces will carry through to the system.
4. After the massage we would bathe over such places with equal parts of tincture of myrrh and olive oil; then apply heavy, HOT Epsom Salts packs. These applications will bring more of the resuscitating forces that will give flexibility and activity to those extremities.
5. In the matter or manner of meeting those mental conditions for the body, and also for maintaining the proper attitude of those that would wait upon the body in its distress, in its attempt to meet the physical and mental conditions, to retain and sustain the life forces within the system, well that there be pointed more and more the spiritual activity that is aroused by the inability of individuals to overcome that producing distress, or worry,

save by, "NOT MY WILL BUT THINE, O FATHER, BE DONE IN ME AS THOU SEEST I HAVE NEED FOR, THAT I MAY BE USED IN THE WAY AND MANNER AS TO BE OF THE GREATER SERVICE TO THOSE THOU WOULD HAVE ME SERVE. NOT MY WAY, NOT MY WILL; RATHER THINE BE DONE IN ME, THROUGH ME, NOW: AND AS THERE COMES MORE AND MORE THAT CONSCIOUSNESS OF HIS FORCES, HIS POWERS AS MANIFEST IN HIS SON MAGNIFIED IN ME, HIS ABIDING PRESENCE WILL BRING THAT PEACE THAT MAKES FOR THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF 'WELL DONE!'"
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Can anything be done to improve vision? (A) That which has been applied has been most helpful, and this kept from time to time as necessity demands will bring less and less of the pain, and more and more of those reactions to and for the system that will bring bettered conditions in these directions; greater responses to those of the sensory system, that make for the ability of the vision to respond to, slowly but surely, the reactions in the physical system.
8. (Q) Can anything be done for his lower limbs to cause locomotion? (A) This has just been outlined, what should be done, in the application of those properties externally, after a thorough massage in the lumbar areas from which the locomotive centers receive their impulses, as well as those in the lower cervical and upper dorsal; applying the saturated solution of Epsom salts following the bathing of those portions (that is, after the manipulation) with the equal parts of tincture of myrrh and olive oil. Heat the oil and add the myrrh; only prepare sufficient at the time to massage the body that will be taken up - in this particular case a tablespoonful of each.
9. That is all the questions regarding this body.
