TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the improvement and relief of same. You will answer any questions I will ask you regarding this.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see.
3. Now, we find there are changes in the physical forces of the body. These have become very weak in their ability to produce the coordination throughout the functioning of the body, and the prevention of disintegration is very near to the breaking point.
4. The conditions as are produced in the nerve system, as is caused by the system attempting to meet the needs of, and to create the equilibrium necessary for the functioning of, the system, as is produced by both the reaction from the anaesthesia, as affects directly the nerve plexus and the circulatory system, making, then, the system produce too much stress on the heart's action, and producing in the ataxia of the nerve ganglion the ineffectiveness of response to the reaction in system, or, as we would say, the system does not respond to those restoratives of a normal flow in system.
5. The spiritual elements must then be awakened to that consciousness of the ability to induce the action, physical, or the disintegration between soul and spirit and physical would take place, eventually, in the near future. See?
6. (Q) What has caused the paralysis in the body?
   (A) As given. The inability of the vital forces in physical to respond to those conditions where the cutting off of the nerves of this portion of the body prevents the system from gaining that control necessary for full functioning, see? That is, with the condition produced by deadening of the ganglia; that is in the upper portion of the 2nd cervical, causes now the ineffective movement of the nerve response, through the retraction of the nerves in locomotion throughout the body, see?
7. (Q) What may now be done to assist the body?
   (A) Only awakening the spiritual elements in the physical at present, to that ability to induce physical reaction in the body.
8. (Q) What may [900] do to now assist this body?
   (A) Assist same in gaining peace and an at-oneness with all spiritual force.
9. That is all the questions.
10. We are through with this reading.
