1. EC: We have the body - yes, this is the body, here. Now, we find there are those conditions as cause distresses with the physical forces of the body. While in many respects the body physically is very good, yet the mental forces and the physical body in its functioning are so involved in those conditions as produce distress, or dis-ease, as to be called complications; for when the body may have that applied which eases in some directions, only brings or produces greater distresses in other directions. These, however, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [5639] we are speaking of:
2. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find in distress in more than one direction. While the distresses with same may not be found wholly in that condition as would be described for the body in the present moment, there are evidences - through the organs, as functioning with the blood supply - EVIDENCES of these conditions existent, and existing from time to time. The heart's action properly may be termed as one overcharged, with the change or alternation in a high and low blood pressure, yet not what would be termed properly a condition of the heart itself. The blood changes in the system are effected through the sympathetic system, so that extremes in any direction, mentally or physically, cause a subsidation, or a subsiding of pulsation or heart action, or may RAISE same to a higher than normal activity. The evidences of same are seen in the effects as are found in various portions of the system through which the blood flow is active, as is seen in the sympathetic system as related to impulse from same to the mucous membranes of throat and head, and nasal cavities, or all of soft tissue as supplied through the central nerve supply, in the effects created in ganglia and in ends of same. In the blood's activity itself we find a high and a low blood count. This, again, is seen in conditions as exist in the vegetative nerve system; that is, that inability of the body to create
5639-1 Page 2
in itself, under stress or strain, or such an abnormal condition in such activity as to create the necessary stimuli for proper digestion under strain of any sort. Hence the conditions as exist at times concerning the digestive system, which is also reflected in the blood supply, in the character and number of count as would be given, in either the divisions of the red or white blood supply. THIS, as we see, gives the body that impetus through which it is, or becomes easily affected by cold or congestion, sleeplessness at times, or insomnia - the inability to keep weight properly, or at others to gain fast or to lose fast. These are but REFLEXES of the DISTURBANCES as are seen in organs, in reflected forces of the system, and as reflect themselves in the blood supply proper.
3. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, here we find the GREATER cause, or the greater channel proper, through which assistance may come to the body. The inability to retain much of the vitality that is necessary to be stored in system is produced much by the strains as are exhibited in the nerve system in different directions. Here we find also another cause that is a product of the conditions as we find in the physical examinations of the body, being so different under different conditions; for some in their examinations have declared various conditions existent, when the same examination made by others does not locate such troubles or disturbances at all. These not the fault of the ability of ones examining same. Rather the wide variations of conditions that have and do exist with the physical functioning of this body.
4. THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, are much under this stress and strain, as is seen from that as has been given, in how the effect to assimilation and digestive forces are involved. Same becomes effective in that of how the impulses through the activity of the brain forces proper, or the central nerve system as related to the sympathetic and cerebrospinal in its combinations these are effective conditions at times. Not that the body [is] MENTALLY unbalanced, yet in self FEELS that often, under the stress and strain of worry, both mental AND physical, that it IS incapacitated in that direction. In the activity of organs proper:
5. As is seen in physical body, the recurrent forces as come in the form of inflammation to the mucous producing portions of system, these are affected by the sympathetic consciousness of a continued re-occurrence of troubles, and ALSO by physical conditions existent in the region of the secondary cardiac plexus, or in the 6th, 7th, 3rd and 4th
5639-1 Page 3
dorsal plexuses. Also the reflection of same to the upper portion of the system in the cervical region, as is a GOVERNING center to the cardiac or the HYPOGASTRIC plexus. The PNEUMOGASTRIC only is involved SYMPATHETICALLY; yet these corrections, with the PROPER injection of that of the pollen that is effective to the mucous coating of system, will remove or restrain these conditions in the system, and these given to the body would prevent this re-occurrence of the temperature or fever, or cold that arises through the pollen season. Will also remove that nerve tension, PHYSICALLY, as is exercised in the conditions produced in heart's action.
6. The body, to regain a nearer normal reflection, would be well to take a sea voyage, or be near a large body of salt water, with sand, and those properties that are of nearer the conditions produced by the effectiveness of assimilated iodine in system; or to take properties carrying both iron, iodine and calcium, will effectually aid the body in its physical direction, but the more of the spiritual awakening is also necessary for the effective and effectual correcting of conditions.
7. Worry will not gain for the body in ANY direction. Then, learn from within to cast the burdens of self and surrounding influence on Him who is able to bear, and who knows the heart of man in such a way and manner as to be the door through which man and woman may approach the creative element of all forces as are active in this material world; knowing that all force is of that Creative Energy and is sufficient to sustain one, will one but cast self upon the promises as have been made for man's own understanding through the indwelling of the divine within each individual, and is ever ready and willing to answer to the call for self and those dependent upon same. We are through.
