TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions as we find in this body have to do with the nervous systems and the effect as produced in the body by those conditions, both to the brain itself in its functioning and to some portions of the system as traversed by the nerves governing those conditions. The pains that come to the body and the hallucinations come first to the nervous forces and the manner which it attempts to produce or eliminate in the system. Now these are the conditions as we find them in this body. Through the nervous systems we find in times back this body has received to the sensory and sympathetic nervous systems a very severe shock. There is improper co-ordination between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal, and the reaction between these, when the reaction comes, causes the cerebro-spinal the opposite effect almost as the body intended in its carrying out of the incentives as sent out by energy to meet and combat with the element fluid and physical as created in the system to meet the demands made in the body. Hence the trouble becomes not merely the physical correction of the conditions, but of that correction in the system that would be given for the nerves and muscles.
2. Improper circulation about the larynx, throat and trachea allows the overflow of the energy to prevent the perfect co-ordinating force between the spiritual and physical forces of the individual.
3. To give the best relief to this body, we would add those elements necessary to produce perfect eliminating qualities, and then the incentives to the system must be builded on the actual work accomplished by the individual itself, or else take electric vibrations to the whole. These suggestions to the body will be better reached through that as known as mechano-therapy. The adjustment of the circulation in the body by a massage, with a suggestion to the mental or soul forces as the adjustments are being given to the body, so we will find will bring the normal forces to this body. We will receive them better through these conditions.
4. (Q) Can a person who practices mechano-therapy bring this body back to normal?
   (A) We have just given it.
5. (Q) Have you anything else to say about this body?
   (A) The equalization of the circulation to minimize the strain on nerve forces and brain (with the suggestions) should bring this body back to normal.
