Time of Reading ... St., Unknown. ..., Alabama.
1. EC: Now, we have here the body of [4506], ... St., ..., Alabama. Now, these are the conditions as found here in this body. There has been brought into this physical body here some of the error that is inherent from the parent, so that the repression through the lyden gland - that is, that between the expression from the circulation in the pelvic organs giving off of the life-giving cellular forces of generation - a repression so that the vibrations from these in expressing them to the system - gives off too much of this, till we produce to the nerve ganglia in the brush end or in the fibrous end of the spinal column too fast a flow of the blood to the brain.
2. Thus we find that spasmodic conditions are produced to the whole system, causing what are termed these spells or sleeping sickness, or expressions to these portions of the body - so that the tautness of the muscles goes over the body, so that a repression to the heart action becomes so that all of the mucous forces that should be repressed pass normally below and begin operating opposite, so that the salivary glands give off in the mouth opposite to what they should, so that all repression that should be dormant suddenly is active in this body.
3. Now the repression or action over these can only be removed by an active mind taking of the soul-mind over this body, through the suppression of the normal mind of this body by that of a stronger mind - or an equal mind - to remove from this condition, so that the thought or the action given to the nerve force, to make the proper vibration in the body at this time, will receive its active principle from that of another mind than this one.
4. In other words, put the body under what is commonly called hypnotic influence to bring about the normal condition of the action of the body itself. This can be done. Then we will find that the body will be brought to a normal state. It will go through some three to four months of treatment, if followed as we have given here, yet it can return to itself if the body is allowed to think on these things. In this respect it is as we find in the Scriptures,
4506-1 Page 2
as expressed in this body, "The sins of the father are visited on the children."
5. (Q) Who shall put this body under hypnotic treatment? (A) One of the people that has a clean mind themselves. The body is good to look at and it would not be well to put under the influence of one with ulterior motives or desires.
