TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [887], and those conditions physical and mental that surround the body.
2. In the physical forces of the body we find while in many respects, considering especially the structural disturbances that have so long existed in the body, the physical reactions are very good, there may be brought to the body a great change in the physical forces - and in ways and manners the body-physical may manifest and may express a great deal more in the PHYSICAL manners than in the present.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [887] we are speaking of, present in this room:
4. We find the BLOOD SUPPLY is very good in many respects. But through same, and in the assimilations, there is not only builded that which may reconstruct but revivify activities throughout the system. And where there have been hindrances (as in this body) not only in the sinew and in the muscular forces, but even in the structural portions, these are constantly changing. For, as we have oft indicated, every seven years there is performed an entire renewal of the whole structural or anatomical body.
5. Hence those things may be brought to bear upon the body in such ways and manners as to not only make for replenishing but for reconstruction in the form as to make for nearer to a perfect physical structural force; thus adding to the abilities in the mental.
6. For ever, as is experienced by the body oft, MIND is the builder.
7. There might be much gained by the body through the understanding of spiritual forces as they manifest in the material; for Mind is a portion of the Soul or the spiritual body - just as it is a portion of the physical body, or of that which is the physical manifestation of that which has been and is experienced by each and every individual body.
8. Then, what an individual does about spiritual forces - as they may make for manifestations into materiality - becomes the growth mentally, physically. Thus does the soul make for, before and to its Maker and its fellow man, an ensample, an activity, that becomes the expression of the individual's attitude in EVERY way and manner toward the source, the activity of life or God in the material world.
9. These, then, in this particular body, need that which will make for the reconstructive forces through the activity of the blood supply, that may - through its assimilation, through its activity, through constructive forces in the manner of the mind's activity upon and its relationships with Creative Forces - bring about activities that make for a wholeness physically.
10. For we live, we move, we have our being in Him that is the Giver of all good and perfect gifts. And as we manifest same before our fellow man, thus we grow in grace, in knowledge, in understanding, and make for manifestations in the material life that bring about - for those that may see, for those that may hear, for those that have the understanding - the GLORY of the Father and the love for His children.
11. In this physical body, then, [887], we find these are possible - through that, first spiritually, which has been conceived, that through the desire of the heart, through the import of the soul, has been and is being made manifest in its activities.
12. It then becomes necessary, in the material world, that there be made application of those influences that all force, all power, all import arise from those activities that are given unto men; that each and every experience in a material world, a mental world, may be more and more a manifestation of His love.
13. In the bodily functionings, then, we find - as indicated - an exceptional activity with and under the existing physical reactions. These make for an expression of the best that may be made under the existing physical forces. But to apply same, then, in the reconstruction, in the revivifying, in the making for activity through those portions of the body where deflections have caused the lack of the activity (that the soul might know that the understanding might be had of His great love that may be made manifest to the sons of men), we find:
14. In the structural forces, through the iliac plexus, through the lumbar activities and the coordinating forces with the lower extremities, we find pressures, hindrances to the activity of that as assimilated for a blood supply that makes for the life flow through the whole portions of the body - a deflection. And these, as we find, may be materially aided in bringing to these portions of the body a greater activity, a manifestation of those influences of "the powers that be" in Him, INTO their material expressions in the experience of this body, [887].
15. Then, as we find, in the deflected forces in the nervous forces of the body in the present, where ganglia in the lower lumbar, in the portions through the extremities have become, as it were, lacking in their nominal response, these - too - through those activities that may be administered - may know again the life flow of impulse and of energies that are as a portion of the whole being of this body.
16. As to the physical reactions through the organs themselves, we find:
17. Through the brain forces thee are the nominal responses to all portions of the system, save where deflections have occurred in centers by the deadening of the areas that make for their activity.
18. And in the mental there is a constructive, a CREATIVE force that draws not only upon that in which the body may find for itself activity among its fellow man but also the attunement to Creative Forces that brings the harmony of self with those energies that may become as electrifying forces throughout the impulses of the system.
19. The reactions through the sensory organisms - as to the organs of the senses - become very acute. That through some impulses these become deflected at times may be expected, but these - too - may become more and more reactive to the spiritual response to those influences in the activities of the body.
20. The throat, the bronchi, the lungs, the larynx - these give rather expression in the present of the revivifying forces of an import through the EXPRESSION of that innately felt within the soul itself. And these, with the changes as we find that may be wrought, may bring greater and greater expressions of that Creative Force, that love, that through the Creative Forces has been and may be manifested through and to the sons of men.
21. In the digestive forces we find at times some little upsets, but in the manner of control that the body has gained through not only the nominal exercise of the will but of the physical forces of the body in controlling the appetites and desires for influences within the body, these become responses to that which has been the constructive influence in the experience of the body.
22. Through the activities of the hepatic circulation, these at times - through activity of glands hindered - have caused and do cause some anxiety. But with the responses as may be brought through the forces that may add to the activity in that assimilated, and that becomes as a constructive force, may bring greater abilities. And through it all there may come greater opportunities for the body, the mind, to become as a LIVING example - known and seen of others - of that expression of love in the earth.
23. Then, as we find, these being naturally and of nature itself a growth, just as the body in its experience, in its activity in the material world has found, it becomes necessary to be CONSISTENT and PERSISTENT in the applications of that which may make for the experience to the greater mental forces of the body to AWAKEN them to their abilities, to their constructive forces in their expressions in the body.
24. First, then, we would add to the body-forces the low electrical forces that may make for constituting within and upon those activative forces in the material body the construction to the body; through elements that become as a part of the nerve forces through which impulse through desire, through Creative Forces, may find a manner, a means, a way of expression.
25. These influences are found, then, in Gold and Silver in a form in which their vibrations may be accorded and assimilated to the living organism to give it greater strength, greater vitality; and may be added to the system in a way and manner as to become constructive in its relationships to the activity of the body.
26. Through the Wet Cell appliance, then, the vibrations from the Gold and Silver may be carried into the system. The attachments would be made in this manner:
27. One day the small nickle plate (the same size as the copper), passing through the Gold solution (in the proportion of three grains Chloride of Gold to one ounce of distilled water), would be attached to the 4th lumbar plexus; while the other small copper plate (same size) would be attached to the right ankle.
28. The next day the first or smaller copper anode would be attached to the 9th dorsal center, while the LARGER nickle plate - passing through the ten percent of Nitrate of Silver solution - would be attached last, to the lacteal and umbillicii plexus.
29. Then the next day the attachments would be with the Gold solution but the last anode attached (the copper plate) would be to the left ankle. Every other day the Gold attachment would be made, alternating the plain attachment from the right to the left ankle.
30. Every other day the Silver attachments would be made as indicated.
31. Each day the application would be - in the beginning - only twenty minutes.
32. After the period of sixty days, increase the application to a sixty minute period.
33. These, as we find, will carry to the system those radial forces from these elements that - adding to a revivifying force in the bodily functionings - will bring about new life, new energies.
34. Each day, following the application of the Wet Cell Appliance, there would be used also a rub with a compound prepared in this manner:
35. To 6 ounces of Russian White Oil as the base, add - in the ORDER given:

    Oil of Cedar Wood...............1 ounce,
Oil of Pine Needles...........1/4 ounce,
Oil of Sassafras..............1/2 ounce,
Oil from the Lichen, or Oil
of the Camphor Wood........1/2 ounce.

    Shake these well together before they are used. Then pour a small quantity into a saucer or open container. Massage from the 9th dorsal area to the tip of the toes, over the limbs, over the sacral area, through especially the locomotaries - in the beginning of the sciatic centers, under the knees. These oils, as we find, will be absorbed by the body. Some days it will be found that the body will absorb more than at others; also as the electrical forces in their application are effective in the system itself.
36. Do these, being consistent; renewing the charge of the Wet Cell Appliance every thirty-six to forty days.
37. We will find, within eight to nine months, there will be new life, new energies new expectancies.
38. And KEEP that faith that ye express, that ye manifest in thy Creator, as:
39. "THY will, O God, be done IN and THROUGH me, as THOU seest that I, Thy child, have need of. Thy love I claim, Father, that I may be the greater manifestation among thy children at this time."
40. Keep that as thy prayer, as thy meditation. These words will bring about thee that influence, those forces, of HIS making.
41. Do that.
42. Ready for questions.
43. (Q) Is my doctor suggesting the proper treatments for me, and should any treatments suggested be continued along with these you have just given?
    (A) Only when these have to do with other influences. And as we find, if those attitudes and applications are adhered to as suggested, thy STRENGTH, thy bodily reactions, will require little or none other.
    In the diets, THESE are well to be kept with that thou hast seen and known and have experienced as best. Add occasionally, as conditions progress, those things that may be through these channels indicated. In the present maintain that now held.
44. (Q) Regarding my work, what shall we do to be successful this fall?
    (A) In the present, as we find, there have been plans and indications of activities that will in a great measure set self, as it were, its associations and activities, in that channel in which there will come propositions and activities that, from the material standpoint, will bring success.
45. (Q) Will our trip to Detroit be successful in regard to making proper contacts?
    (A) This, as we find, is a portion of the whole scheme of things, as may be expressed. Be well through the associations that activities in that particular area be as a channel through which some activities may come in the RADIO work, especially.
46. (Q) Will it be advisable to go to New Orleans within the next few weeks?
    (A) By the first of December, yes.
47. (Q) What will be the outcome of the lawsuit there?
    (A) Most of these conditions surrounding same are, as we find, in accord with the best interests for all concerned, and should - with minor changes - be satisfactory in its conclusion.
48. (Q) Are we connected at present with the proper people in business?
    (A) This becomes rather a matter of that as may be decided most within self. As we find, these associations are leading - and the preparations that have been indicated are carrying - to the proper understandings.
    First, as we would find, let that in relationships to the material affairs become not as secondary but rather as the MEANS, ever, in thine consideration with the associations in the material affairs, be ever the first and foremost thought in self that if the policies of those associations lead to constructive forces - and as channels through which the glory may come that self has the right to expect from the Creative Forces - they will furnish the channel for the expression and manifesting of same.
    And these activities will bring, in the very desire of the heart of those associated with self, the greater opportunities for expression and greater material gain.
    For His law is love. And it hath not yet appeared, even to self - or to man, the great GLORY, the great opportunity, in EVERY manner, that He hath prepared and does manifest to and for and through those that show forth HIS love.
49. (Q) Should we stay in New York or go to California this fall?
    (A) As we find, AFTER those associations and connections as may be made in Detroit, this may best be determined by self and associates. As we find from the present inclinations, however, it would be well to go to California.
50. (Q) How much longer will my sisters and I be together as a singing trio?
    (A) This, of course, depends upon others. But this may be influenced by thine desire, thine activity, and thine expression of that as we have indicated that should be the FOUNDATION of that thou doest.
    This has been indicated before.
    Do those things, then, first in thy material, in thy physical association; and there will be opened for thee, through thine mental and thine spiritual desires and imports, not only the material influences and forces but that which will offer the opportunity for the greater expression through thyself of the love of God to those that love Him and show forth such among men till He come again.
51. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 4/09/35 Mr. [257]'s letter: "Miss [887] has been crippled for...years (from polio, since the age of three, for several months completely paralyzed from head to toe, but gradually, tediously, she regained use of upper part of body) but has always felt God would help her to walk and she believes you are the agency for His divine help to her." (GD's note: See her business rdgs. 887-1, 887-2, 887-3 on 4/11/35 6/14/35 and 6/18/35.)

REPORTS

1. 11/40 GD's note: Mr. [257] told me that Miss [887] had not followed the advice in her Physical Reading, that she was accustomed to her condition and preferred to be comfortable rather than to go through a long siege of uncomfortable treatments, with the slight chance that she might regain use of her legs.
2. 10/11/76 GD's note: Miss [887] died today in a hospital after having undergone surgery for cancer in Feb. In 1936 after her sisters retired she forged alone in her singing career and soon married the group's manager. She was widowed in Jan. 1975 and stopped performing about that time.
