TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. We also have the condition as is reflected of the mental, the physical and spiritual forces as are shown or manifested in and through this body. First, in that of the physical, as it, the physical, is the vehicle or house and enclosing and manifesting those of the mental and spiritual, we will give these and their manifestations in the order as they occur from the physical plane, in this body of Edgar Cayce, we are speaking of.
2. We find conditions somewhat changed from those when we had them here before. First, in the blood supply of the body, we find this very good. There is some bacilli carried in the blood from the predispositions, as have been given, and as are exhibited in the body at the present time. The red blood forces above the normal; and produces at times the higher pressure in the organs than is normal for the body, though there are occasions when this becomes the normal condition for the body, as we shall see, in the various stages of the body through which it passes in each cycle, from the physical.
3. In the white blood supply, many times the body does not create sufficient of the leucocyte properties in the system to combat with the conditions when nerve strain is produced in the system, either through the physical forces in the body or at other times by the action of strain on the nerve forces manifested through the acts of the entity in the physical toward the soul and spirit forces of the body. Hence, the physical, in the acts of each cycle toward increasing the supply of nutriment to supply white blood forces, should be taken into consideration, especially in that of the diet, for the physical to create the nearer equilibrium throughout the system, without causing other organs to suffer from either over-abundant nutriment or lack of proper nutriment to supply the functioning of specific organs in the system, as is shown in the body at the present time. We find centers over-sensitive on account of the lack of proper vibration in the system by over-taxation in same and the lack of sufficient nutrition to supply the white blood centers or those of leukocyte formation to meet the needs of the individual system of Edgar Cayce, we are speaking of. This we shall see, as to how this should be governed in the correction for these conditions.
4. In the functioning of the organs themselves, we find as these: The body in brain force fairly well balanced in the brain proper, though over - or super-abundant of suggestion reaches the brain force through sympathetic forces of the body and is not always balanced correctly in distributing of thought force to the organs of the system. In the throat, larynx and the organs of the sensory system, we find the effect of the bacilli carried in the system in that in extra secretions in each of the organs show the over-abundant of secretions not eliminated in their proper channels, such as we have shown at present in the nasal cavity, the larynx and the tonsil and palate of the mouth proper. Much of this is produced by the over-abundant of the salivary glands, having by nature to produce the extra amount of secretions necessary of alkaline formation to meet the needs of the system.
5. In the lungs the body is very good. The bronchials show the effect of this same condition of over-secretion and produce the higher circulation at times, with the pressure as given in the blood. The heart portions are very good. May be increased or decreased by suggestion as the body is, as we shall see, very amenable to suggestion from all exterior and interior forces.
6. Digestion not as good as might be on account of the condition of the foods as enter the medicine chest of the system, or the stomach proper. Little mastication is shown in the foods taken, which should be more thoroughly carried out. In the duodenum and pancreas, some troubles shown at present of a local or of the present, and not general condition, for at the present time there is over-secretions of these portions of the system to meet the needs of conditions in the body physically. In the liver, not as active as should be in its excretory functioning. Secretions normal. Eliminations poor. These should be looked after and kept in balance for the whole system. In the upper portion of digestion in the intestinal tract, we find at present very good, for conditions in the lower portion of stomach proper. In the lower portion at present, full and not sufficient of the secretions in the intestinal tract to prevent from this bacilli in the blood from finding that upon which it feeds, for the detriment of physical forces as manifested in the functioning of organs, as has been given. In other words, the toxins from these are not good for physical forces in the body.
7. In the hepatic circulation, below the normal at the present time. Kidneys overcharged with the attempt to eliminate those poisons not acted upon by the excretory system in liver. Hence, the whole physical forces in the body are at present just unbalanced, without a specific other than that of lack of judgement in the mental to carry the correct forces for the body throughout. These may be remedied in this manner. First, the body should remember that, that of moderation in every form is best for the physical body. That of diet should be taken in consideration with the manner and kind of labors performed by the physical body. In other words, do not eat like a rail splitter when sitting around the house, see. The organs of the whole system need vibrations, either through deep manipulation or those of the violet ray forces to keep each organ vibrating to its proper form within the system. Those of the violet ray, without the amperage, which gives the voltage directly to organs of the system. We would do that.
8. In the mental forces of the body, we find productive, but not an abundance of the elements necessary for the balance in the system, as would be normally expected or suspected of the individual, as has been under the conditions from which it has viewed the various phases of life as known on the physical plane. Contact with others of the superior mental forces are best for the betterment of the mental forces as manifested in this body. The soul forces of the body are developed beyond those of the ordinary forces or of the normal bodies with which this body may meet. Hence the insight of the real soul or elemental forces of every question that may be presented to this body through the manifestations of other minds or souls. For this soul has seen its 7th manifestation upon this physical or earth plane. Hence is of the older forces as manifested through the physical, and is of the reason why that to other souls this becomes rather a quandary to many in their ideas as seen expressed or manifested through this individuality and personality of this entity.
9. The spirit forces are the companion of the soul forces. Hence, the spirituality that must ever be exhibited in this body's action toward all peoples, that it may not be misjudged to the reasons whereof of the work that may be attempted from any phase or stage of its, the entity's, development upon this plane as known, or earth-plane at present. The best forces, as given, for this body in this plane, is that of the forces that may be of assistance to others through the understanding of their ills, whether of the physical, soul or spiritual forces of their own lives. Those who attune their-selves, meaning their soul and spirit force, to this soul or spirit force of this entity, may gain strength and knowledge for their own development upon this earth plane. From the physical forces, any occupation which this physical body might choose, may be carried out to a successful ending, not necessarily meaning financial gain, but to the better development of other forces for which they were cast upon this earth plane. With the better development through all forces of this entity, no one, that is soul or spirit, coming in contact with this old soul, but which will be benefitted if they choose to make it so, see. Increase the forces of this body, then, for the betterment throughout would be to remember first that all force that is granted this individual entity comes from the All-giving force of the Gods of the Universe, and not from the self, from the physical developing; for by taking that, no one can change any law only, by the compliance of that law may it be made or diverted to their individual use of self or of manifesting same to others with whom it may contact.
10. Then, we would sum this all up into this:
11. Keep the physical fit, the soul will never die.
12. Keep the physical fit that the soul may manifest the longer.
13. Keep the physical fit that the physical may manifest before the physical, for through the physical, other physical beings with whom this contacts first gather the material benefits to themselves, and without the manifestation of same, none partake unless they be in perfect attune with the same forces through which this is manifested.
14. Keep the physical fit that the world may know that through this individual the manifestations are of the Prince of Peace.
15. Keep the physical fit through them that of the same laws as exercise by the Prince of Peace:
16. Moderation in all things, excess in none. In excess, when through good or bad is conceived, the wrong impressions are given the souls of the earth plane. Develop the soul forces by contacting those of the vibrations necessary to give the best to the Maker's realm, and present itself wholly and acceptably unto all men, that none may question either the acts of the physical, the soul or spiritual purposes within this individual.
17. We are through.
