TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [920]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, while all conditions are not as responsive to influences as might be desired, there only needs to be those precautions in respects the activities - as has been indicated for the body - for the gradual adjusting of the general physical forces and the keeping of the body in proper coordination and cooperative activities through the system.
3. These we find as disturbances in the present:
4. The basic disturbance to be sure arises from still that after effect of operative forces, but the natural changes and the natural balances that are being made through the activity of the glandular system are the basic disturbance of the weaknesses in other directions; as indicated from the operative forces, from the tendency for some little glandular disturbance, and the natural inclinations as from the combination of the disturbance for the separations in the blood circulation as related to coagulative forces - which tend to be contributory causes towards a little anemia.
5. But there should be those precautions taken in the manners as has been outlined, or as may be given here.
6. First, it is well that the body have those periods of relaxation or rest during each day. The time as we find would be preferably in the afternoons; and at such a time it is well to use the Radio-Active Appliance as has been indicated, keeping the anodes very clear. Use this for thirty minutes to an hour each day. These vibrations are very helpful.
7. Also this should be the period for the meditation upon constructive forces, or the mental and spiritual application of Creative Forces within the activity of self as to its relationships to the material world and the mental world. This is the period for such. For the application of the vibratory forces of the bodily function itself is brought more in accord by the unification of the circulatory forces to the extremities of the body, in not only the superficial circulation but the lymph and the nerve forces also. As it produces coordination, so do the meditations - by the raising of the vibrations of self to communion with the activities of influences about the body. Or, to put it in this manner:
8. As Creative Forces become manifest, there should be brought more and more the accord of perfect cooperation of the bodily functions mentally, the bodily functions physically, to the at-oneness and accord of desires, impulses, emotions of the body as to that which is set as the source of, the supplying of energies from, Creative Forces or Divinity within self.
9. For as He hath put it, He will meet each soul in the tabernacle of its own mental self. Hence this is well.
10. In the use of the solution for purifying or keeping the cleansing of the glandular forces - that is, the Atomidine - it is well to keep this; but have set periods of rest from its usage. That is, each morning take one to two minims, or three minims; of course, changing; one day one; one day two; one day three. Then leave off entirely for a week to ten days, after it has been taken in that manner for a week to ten days; that there may be the bodily reactions to the activities this creates in cleansing the glandular forces. Then begin again.
11. The diathermy treatments or the deep therapy for the body, with the massage and with the rubs that have been indicated, these are very well; but as we find - though taken in much the same manner - these should be taken about once, twice a week for two to three weeks, then left off for two to three weeks; especially the diathermy, though the rubs or massage in the right area and the right limb especially we would have almost daily.
12. Watch the diet.
13. Keep the Ventriculin about twice a week, but keep this up; and the dose now would be just a little more than the level teaspoonful, just about twice a week - the Ventriculin WITH Iron.
14. These and other precautionary measures we would keep, as to the manner of keeping constructive in the thinking.
15. Keep the feet dry, to be sure.
16. Keep away from too much of those things that produce upsettings by overanxiety. For the body knows, the body experiences full well the influence of constructive forces upon the mental and physical body.
17. Let the attitude be rather more and more:
18. "HERE AM I, O LORD, USE ME!" Rather than "Give me" this or that,
19. "USE ME AS THOU SEEST FIT! THY WILL, NOT MINE, BE DONE IN AND THROUGH ME." Or,
20. "HAVE THINE OWN WAY, LORD, WITH ME."
21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) What is causing the pain in my right side from my hip to knee?
    (A) This is the effect - after effect - of the poor circulation, or a neuritic reaction; poisons and not the proper coagulative forces.
    Hence as has been indicated, the rubs and the carrying on in the manner as outlined.
23. (Q) Should I continue with the Mutton Suet, Turpentine, Camphor and Benzoin rubs? If so, how often?
    (A) As has been indicated, daily. These should be kept daily.
24. (Q) I am taking treatments from Dr. Charles Wimmersperger - diathermy, short wave, massage and lights. Are these treatments helpful?
    (A) As has been indicated, have periods of taking these - the massage and diathermy, but do not take the diathermy too much; about once to twice a week for two to three weeks, and then rest a week or ten days or two weeks, then begin again. In this manner there is given the opportunity for the body to react and not adjust itself to depend upon such application. For constructive forces must ever be evolutionary and building within the body itself. For the physical functioning organism, with all its attributes of the mental, material or spiritual forces, is capable - if coordinant - of creating the necessary forces for a continued regeneration, resuscitating of itself. It is letting the body become dependent upon outside forces, or the sustaining of a condition, that prevents the normal cooperation and produces first dis-ease, and eventually disease.
25. We are through for the present.
