TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find there are many conditions that may be corrected in this body, while we find the body in many ways and respects very good. There are some conditions in the physical, they are not altogether abnormal conditions, with the mental attitude the body takes toward itself or others. There are physical conditions that this has produced in the system, and these may be corrected. This has to do with the nerve system and the effects as this has produced in the organs that function, principally, by the action of nerve ganglion through reflex forces, see? Now these are the conditions as we find in this body, [205], we are speaking of.
2. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, these are physical forces, see? [I see.] The blood supply in the body is not in its normal action, though in quantity and in quality very good. There are times through the mental forces created in the system that which does not set the best of reaction through the nerve forces to the blood supply. Hence, the body keeps itself overtaxed for the system to give the best to the rebuilding forces in body. Hence, the portions in the system that suffer from this condition.
3. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, the nerves of the cerebro-spinal, through the mental forces of the body, have produced in almost all of the ganglia along the body that of an enlargement, so that we would find on examination, especially in these centers would this show the condition: fourth cervical, sixth and seventh dorsals, fourth to fifth lumbar, or the fourth lumbar region and across the sacral, see? [I see.] These give then the rise to the action through the sympathetic the condition as produced by this mental attitude the effect as produced in digestion, the effect as produced in the organs of the pelvis, of those in the lung force at times and creates the susceptibility of the body to congestion, especially in the throat and nasal cavity. These we will find, see? Sympathetic, produced by the engorging of ganglia in the cerebro-spinal nerve system, and the body finds then through the sympathetic, all portions of the body at times, have that tingling sensation, as of an equalization being established in the body through circulation, see? [I see.] This is reaction. Sympathetic attempting to equalize conditions in the body. The nerve indigestion is produced through the pneumogastric nerve center and that of the pancreas in its creation of the secretions to carry on the proper digestion in the intestinal tract. In the nerves of the sensory system, only reflexes from this. In the organs of the body proper, the brain force very good, if allowed to carry all normal force in the system. One given to detail, and especially to numbers, see? [I see.] In the throat, larynx, bronchils, that of the condition as we have given through reflex forces, some conditions specific shown at the present time. Heart action at times normal, again sub- normal, or above normal, so we have an undulating pulse or heart force, which gives the rise to the hot and cold flushes the body experiences at times, especially when it's about ready to retire.
4. IN THE DIGESTIVE TRACT, in the digestive tract, the pyloric end of stomach, some contraction from nerve force. The liver sluggish, though conditions excretory functioning very good, as an organic functioning. The hepatic circulation low, with the kidneys functioning above the normal, on account of nerve force in the body. The mental capacity, with the soul forces of the body, if allowed to be governed through the spiritual side of the body, would be much better for the body in its developing on this plane. The spirit of the body is good. The flesh and the mental forces in that of discretion often overweigh the better spiritual impulses of this entity.
5. RELIEF, to give the physical the best development, and to overcome the conditions of congestion in stomach and the nerve forces in the action over the system, (see this is catarrhal condition?) we would give that, that vibration be used as would be found in deep manipulation, osteopathically, and by the mind's control of the whole nerve system. Better this body to study this injunction and understand well. "Study to show thyself approved unto thy God, one correctly dividing the words of Truth, and keeping self unspotted from the World."
6. Do that. We are through.
