1. EC: Yes, we have the body - this we have had before, Mrs. [5640].
2. In some respects we find conditions are much improved, while in others we find there are little changes in the reactions in the system. These, as we find, in part are produced by the lack of coordination of the applications as given in the manipulative forces with the body in its mental attitude and attributes as concerning self; for while there was at the beginning more of anticipation and expectancy there was considerable improvement in the general reactions in the body, but with the changes that have come about, with the lack of that cooperation in the manipulative forces, gradually the body has allowed itself mentally and physically to slip back to that of not making an effort within self, rather allowing that ministration to the body to become more mechanical, without any expectancy, hope, or at times even without the full DESIRE that there be any change brought about.
3. As we find, it would be well that there be a more whole hearted cooperation in one giving those ministrations in the manipulations, and more expectancy on the part of the body to whom these are applied - or the patient, that there may be some resistance set up in same, and we will find that much of the nerve condition would be overcome.
4. We would also find that the use of the Radio-Active Appliance would be well to be continued in a direct manner, and in a SYMPATHETIC manner; that is, not as mechanical, but rather as the desire that same create the necessary forces within the system itself for the better coordination and cooperation of the physical forces. These, as we find, ministered in this way and manner, would bring about a much nearer normalcy for the body.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Why do I get out of breath when I walk?
5640-3 Page 2
(A) The lack of resistance being builded in the system, and the incoordination of the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve system, especially in the upper dorsal, or in the brachial and the secondary cardiac plexus centers. These should have more stimuli to make for better coordination in this ganglia area, the 3rd, 4th and 2nd dorsal centers.
7. (Q) Why am I so restless at night and get so little sleep? (A) Nervousness, which is produced by the taking of those properties to settle the nerve system, and these have come to depend more and more upon these sedatives that react with the nerve force. As we find, if the body will take when ready to retire a warm - not BOILED, but heated - glass of milk, to which there is added three to four drops of lactated pepsin, this should make for a much more quieting effect. It would also be well at times to use the electrically driven vibrator, especially in the 2nd and 1st dorsal center, and in the 3rd, 2nd and 1st cervical center.
8. (Q) Excepting the mental attitude, am I using the battery properly, and is it working alright? (A) It has become more mechanical than it is working. It is working in its physical sense, but without expectancy - as in taking anything for the correction of disorders in system, unless the attitude can be such that these are of an expectancy - little may be accomplished with same; but we would keep them up, and we would use more of that attitude that the body mentally, physically, has its place to fill that may not be done by another. There is the necessity that the physical body be in as perfect accord with the Creative and Universal Forces as is possible, but "Thy will be done in me as Thou seest I have need of in the present. Let me bear in my body those conditions, circumstances, physical AND mental, that will bring me wholly closer to an understanding of the purposes for which I came into being; without censure to anyone, without censure to myself, but USE me as THOU seest fit!" THAT should be the attitude; not as rote, but as SINCERITY of heart, mind and body.
9. That is all the questions regarding this body.
10. Do that, in that manner, in ALL the mechanical forces that may be applied, and we will find the outlook, the purposes, the aims of the body, mentally and physically, will be opened; for though one may be weak in body, in mind, making self a channel for the CREATIVE Forces will RENEW the outlook, the purposes, the aims, as from the beginning.
11. We are through with this reading.
