1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, while we find the mental, spiritual and physical forces in this body very good, we find there are some conditions in all that may be brought to the better development for the individual, both in the physical and mental and spiritual plane. First, as we have to deal with the physical for the development of the mental or soul and spiritual forces of the body, we give the conditions here in the physical, then their relation to the mental and spirit of the entity. Those are the abnormal in the physical, have to do with the process of developing the functioning organs in some conditions produced within the body itself and developed towards both the physical forces, its relation to mental attitudes and the spiritual development necessary for the better forces in the body. For all are in one, and one in all, see.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body of [5717] we are speaking of, present in this room. First, in the blood supply of the body, the tendency is of the blood to be over abundant in the system, see. Red blood forces, not above the normal to an unbalanced condition, but the pressure shows in the action of the organs themselves and the attitude of mental forces towards the action of the physical in its relation to mental and spiritual forces. (I keep them all separate as we go along, see.) In the white blood forces, very good. In the action of the blood supply as we will see upon a specific organ in this development. In the nerve force, body very good. All balanced throughout with the nerve systems in cerebrospinal, sympathetic and sensory systems. The action of the forces over the body in the nerve system being well balanced in both the physical effect produced through nerve action, physically speaking, and the forces of the body itself. In the functioning of the organs of the body, we find as these. First, in the brain force and the development there, we find one well given to understanding of perspective, especially to the broader vision with those pertaining to developing in the spirit and soul sense of a given condition. That is above the ordinary, but he subjugates it much by the action of the

physical. In the organs of the sensory system, well balanced, with the forces, and given in the psychic force through perception of sight rather than of other forces in this spiritual or soul development. Perspective insight, until it becomes as it were the abnormal or subliminal forces expressed through sight, see, and in this channel it may be developed. The psychic forces and the relations toward the giving of this force to other individuals will be reached through this same source. Well for the body to remember, though, from whom the power comes and not from himself.
3. In the organs of the throat, the larynx and the bronchials, there have been times when there was the condition here not good. Overburdened by congestion received from stimulation to blood flow in the center body, the 4th cervical - that is, we had hard thinking, wrong expressions of action the reaction comes through the physical and expressed in the organs of the throat proper, see. Physically expressed. This we find in the circulation as is expressed in the tonsils, the epiglottis and in the tissue as created by this in the palate and in the antrum, in the face proper. In the lung force, good. Heart action normal, with an over quantity of blood to be handled at times, you see. In the digestive force, take care. For with the correction of the forces in this, we create that element that may be the destructive force to the physical in its application to other forces, as well as that of its own, see. That is, its usefulness to other individuals through its mental forces may be and could be hindered by the self through these. In the spleen, we find the organ that suffers from the condition in the system more than any other at the present time. Hence, meditation or destructive forces on red blood cells is good for the body [Polycythemia?]. With each thought manifested in the brain, red blood cells are destroyed in the spleen. This is in all bodies. In this we find with special thought, best when body is alone, when these are expressed in the body itself. We are speaking physically. In the duodenum or pyloric end, some show of the action of the condition of the spleen. Liver very good. Intestinal tract and creative forces of the blood supply in the individual system, very good. In the mental forces of the body, we find as in these. The activity of the mental or soul force of the body may control entirely the whole physical through the action of the balance in the sympathetic system, for the sympathetic nerve system is to the soul and spirit forces as the cerebrospinal is to the physical forces of an entity, especially is this

shown in this body here, of [5717] present in this room.
4. In the development of the spirit forces, we find this beyond the normal of other bodies, to this body normal, for he may make himself worth much to his fellow man if the physical be directed correctly in all forces pertaining to physical, mental and spiritual development.
5. The vocation should be the layman influence over the fellow man toward spiritual and psychic development in other individual selves.
6. To keep the body in balance physically, we would do this. More exercise for the body of a specific character and nature. That especially given to bring into action the nerves, ligaments and muscles, the diaphragm and the trunk portion of the body; and the diet should be more varied than is taken in the system in the past and that of the nature necessary to create the forces in the body that gives the balance of blood force in the uniform rather than of one character. More of starch than proteins, not at first but balance the body through the exercise. Keep plenty of water in the system at all times. Body does not drink enough at all times, see. We are through.
