TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [440] present in this room; also the instrument - psychonograph.
2. In the physical forces of the body we find conditions generally show improvements. Those reaction from the activities of the body physically, mentally, those reactions from those things as applied to the activities in the vibrations and those actions that make for the removing of the effects of disorders, show improvements.
3. As to the work that has been done with the instrument, this is very well - as has been given. Rather, however, from these standpoints, we would find it would be well to do the FIRST things first; that there be the application of self as related to that which may be accomplished by the influences in the activity of etheronic energy in the relationships to individuals and that which may be more constructive in their welfare in a material plane. For, as has been outlined, while there may be taken individual cases, individual conditions that are susceptible to the activities of etheronic energy within themselves, irrespective of any application from without, HOW may such be recorded or those experimentations recorded in such a way and manner as to be constructive in the application of same to those that are not sensitive to those very things in their reaction or activity in the body? But when there are begun those activities where there may be recorded from day to day the various actions and reactions to self or to any body experimentations are made upon, as was given, first begin with that which is the basis of etheronic energies in a manifested form - in all forms of its reaction into or to a material body. Then there may be builded in a systematic way and manner that as has been builded, as has been given by the illustrations of those through dissection or the activity of certain principles as from the various energies that are necessary to add to the elements for constructive forces within a body. See?
4. This, as we find, will be the manner in which to make for a condition wherein the body will know what it is doing and what it may EXPECT to be accomplished in the experiences of individuals as they are making for themselves applications for betterments with such an instrument. For, as has been given, it - the instrument - is now where it may be used for constructive and for the basis for removing or bringing to various systems various UNITS of energy that are manifested in a physical body, that which is constructive in their bodies.
5. (Q) Regarding the physical conditions of this body, did the twenty pellets accomplish their purpose?
   (A) As indicated, this activity has been to produce a better condition in the body. Now the activities and the association with activities in the body and in relation to those atmospheric pressures, those surroundings that have been indicated, should make for not only the absorption of the disorders but a correction in a way and manner as to eliminate the disorders entirely from the system.
6. (Q) What is causing the pain in the right side?
   (A) Where a pressure has existed and it's removed, it's the super-sensitiveness to the body from the removal of the pain. The REMOVAL of that that caused it causes now more pain than the cause itself!
7. (Q) May I tell you of my deep appreciation for the reading [440-14] of last Thursday? Tell me, has the harmony yet been established within [317]'s [Mr. [317] and Mrs. [267]]?
   (A) Being established, and the body is being that as it should in ESTABLISHING that harmony in the inner beings of the bodies whom the body has - not intentionally, not premeditatively, but - unmindfully set up some disturbances within the better selves. [See 440-14, Par. 8-A, 9-A and 440-18, Par. R1.]
8. (Q) Can you explain that a little more?
   (A) Read that with what has been given, as to just what - to what point the disturbances were, and this should be better understood within self.
9. (Q) Do you find treatments can be given full force as well as coordinated, as suggested by [Mr. [317]]?
   (A) Can be given as well. THIS is the disturbance to the operator under such conditions, however: There will NOT be known as to what to EXPECT when given full force without knowing what a coordinated reaction is. In one manner it may be continually CONTROLLED by the operator. In the other it may not always be controlled. Unless the body so being treated, or the application being made is in accord as to where it may take just what is necessary and leave the rest off. Hasn't self by its own experimentation found that metals themselves may be OVERCHARGED for the better conditions for their operations in activity? Just so in a body, for the body from the electrical standpoint is as a magnet and through the etheronic energy is being accorded the proper vibrations as to make for perfect coordination of all the organs, or all glands, of all functionings in the system. You can overdo it as well as under do it!
   So, with the variation from a full charge without being coordinated, SOME may be able to stop! As is set from a charge when there is the activity of the locomotion in those as may be seen from storage batteries (for the body is merely a storage battery now), if this is so set by its own development and its own sensitiveness as to say "click off" when there's enough had - but how can - It's like taking a drink. Can you stop when you want to? Some can, some can't!
   Be always in CONTROL of that as may be of the most beneficient effects to the human body. You have, as has been given, a most worth while, a most WORTHY thing you are working with, that may bring to thousands life, hope, energy, that will make for a regeneration in the minds and the hearts and the directions of soul forces of human beings. Control it! Don't let it run wild! Begin with the first things first. Know how it will act upon various elements that supply certain food values to the body in all of its energies, for there may be taken just as well the forces as in the energies that may be supplied in the various elements as has been given that supply certain forces within the body, as those that supply energy in the blood stream, those that build into the bone forces, those that build into the various glands of the system the necessary elements for the activities in a body. Yet if these are taken rather hit or miss, and those energies are supplied without control, what MAY you expect? You have it, yes - but what to do with it, how to control it, how may it be followed systematically! Each and every application is beneficial or detrimental. There is no such thing as saying because it can't hurt you; then if it can't it can't do you good either.
10. (Q) In tuning for self I obtain response from all over the dial.
    (A) Is this by the activities of those about the body, or is this from the body-energy itself? How was that given as to how it should be to find the activity of the energy from self, alone or with other elements and energies as powerful or greater even than self? Can you attune or find just what a delicate vibration is from any that would show you the axis or the poles in their vibration beside a large dynamo, or beside a large piece of steel, or even beside the very minutest portion that has already been charged? How has it been given then, my son, to follow instructions? BE wise, not in your own conceit, but in the love that has been shown thee by even giving thee charge of these things that are wonderful in the experiences of men!
11. We are through for the present.
