TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1063].
2. Now, as we find, while there are very good reactions throughout the physical forces of the body, there are some tendencies that the consideration of same in the minor disturbances at present would produce a better reaction throughout the system.
3. These, then, are the physical forces as we find them with this body, [1063] we are speaking of, present in this room:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find indications that there is at times a disturbance; as one gland working in coordination and at other times disturbing the functioning of others.
5. Hence there are produced those influences in the elements themselves that AT TIMES hinder in a balancing of the superficial and the deeper circulation. This is indicated in the body-functioning at times by a slowing up of the circulation to extremities, and the manner in which the reactions occur in the limbs - that is, in the lower limbs and in the arms at times. And at other times the effect is made upon the ductless functionings through a portion of the digestive forces.
6. These, as we find, are the lack, then, of a proper activity in the thyroids as related to the using of the energies as created by same in portions of the body itself. But the deficiency is rather in the balancing of the elements between the potash and those influences that relate to the activity of same.
7. So, these find receptive reaction at times in NERVE REFLEXES, or NERVE PRESSURES, as related to that activity in the coordination of the cerebro-spinal and the sympathetic forces, through the brachial center; again through the lumbar axis, and again through that expression which finds activity across the adrenals. These are as reflexes, then, through the NERVOUS activity produced by this little unbalancing that occurs.
8. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in the main, so far as the organs themselves are concerned, only reactions that occur are causing at any time the greater disturbance in the present.
9. So, if there will be the proper consideration given as to keeping this nominal or normal balance through the activities of the system as related to the chemical changes that become necessary in the functioning of the system's coordinating in the glands' activity, as they relate to the organs themselves, we may keep a near normal balance in the body.
10. Then, we would find, we would add those properties or elements - not as an extravagant reaction, but those that will add to the system the influences sufficient to produce this activity in these portions of the body. Not that becomes body-building in its relation to the tympanus or to any of those forces in either the adrenals or the glands in the digestive forces, but that may work through same to those very activities of keeping this normal balance.
11. For these elements which we will suggest, as we find, in minute particles of iodine that may be ASSIMILATED or absorbed by the system, are in such proportions that they become an active force and then allow for the periods of reaction through the stamina produced in the system by the cleansing of those activities of the secretions in the system - and then renewing again so that they become more and more active in a normalcy.
12. Thus we would find there might be the proper dissemination of those influences that would be created by the taking of these elements.
13. Also we would set up drainages by adjustments made in those centers governing the central portion of the assimilating and digestive forces, or along the upper dorsal and through the cervical area; stimulating occasionally in the axis center, and then the general exercises that come with the activities of the body and those of the more specific nature that would keep a coordination from those activities below the lines across the abdomen - or for the lumbar plexus.
14. With these, then, we would bring the body to those conditions that will make for the better reaction.
15. The dosage of the Atomidine, then, would be one minim in half a glass of water taken of mornings before any meal is taken, for three, four, five days. Then have a rest period from same for an equal time. Then take again for the same period, and so on. This will make for a stimulation to the circulation, to the activities of the body itself, as to produce a greater quantity in the forces that make for vital resistances in the body.
16. Do that.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) What can be done to increase endurance?
    (A) As just indicated, when there is an unbalancing that makes for these forces as outlined, there tends to be used up the energies in the combativeness of one influence within the body to another. If these are cleansed, as is the system from poisons at times, it will make for the abilities for the resistances to be builded in the body as indicated.
    In the rest periods between the periods of taking the Atomidine, we would take two or three of the adjustments in the areas indicated. Not as adjustments alone, but rather as stimulating the ganglia for drainages that are stimulated by the activities of these properties within the bodily functionings themselves.
19. (Q) What will improve my ability to concentrate?
    (A) This again is almost as indicated. For when there are those tendencies for the COMBATIVENESS in the influence of activities that produce a drain upon the vitality of the body, these prevent the coordination between the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic system - becoming active through what may be termed the imaginative or impulsive system, through the forces to the sensory activity.
    Hence the cleansing of the system in the manner as indicated. Not just increasing the eliminations only through the alimentary canal, but so as to make for a greater coordination with the activity of the bodily functions as related to the abilities of each of the functioning organs to increase and to produce for the system that which is nearer to normal in activities.
    For, as is understood by the body itself, in its analyses and understanding of the atomic forces within a body, each cellular force - which becomes manifested from inception, or from conception - has about it those impelling influences that are brought about by the number of atomic forces about its common center; that finds it activity throughout the system in the coordinations that come between the impulse and that as produced by the first cause - or the first activity from the cellular force from which the separation has made an individual entity.
    Then, to keep the normal atomic structural vibrations throughout the body - in the whole impelling influences that make for the abilities for the body not only to reproduce its own cellular force but to revivify the activities within same that make for this reproduction of self and its abilities - in the lagging portion, as indicated; which may be acted upon effectively through the use of these properties.
    For, as indicated, the potashes and the iodides are the two influences or forces within the body - as related to the activity to those replenishing or rebuilding forces. If these are kept at a normal balance, they continue to reproduce themselves.
    In this particular body, as indicated, the reduction is in such a nature in the present that the addition of these atomic forces in the activity of the system will produce that which will enable the body - for a period of another cycle to three cycles - to continue without any let-down.
    Then, before there is any real let-down in the abilities of the body, there should be at least twenty-one more years of activity in a way and manner that becomes even as strength - and as in the present.
20. (Q) Any suggestions for renewing the vitality?
    (A) We have just given same, in those influences and forces that become the impelling force in the body itself. For they make for the replenishing of plasm, that 'elan vitale' that makes for the continuation of the activities of those properties and those atomic influences that have been set forth in their activity.
    Then, there are those influences that make for not only the human activity as called heredity - that is kept as a normal balance and produces then that which will reproduce itself - but that which becomes as coordinant with same in the constructive influences of those forces from without and within that may coordinate with the universal activities of a consciousness that makes for those influences which become a portion of the entity in its whole application to those forces about itself; that is, to not only be good, but to be good FOR something.
21. (Q) What will relieve mental fatigue?
    (A) The same; as applied to that just given. When the mental forces are kept as for those things that are constructive or creative in their application in relationships or dealings of the entity to those about it, then these relieve. For they are OF the universal activity which is CONSTANTLY RENEWING itself by its energies expended in activity.
    For, as is understood from the biological activity to produce life, there is given life. Hence in the mental emergencies or activities, in giving constructive forces there is CREATED in self the mental energies that RENEW self. Just as do those activities of love beget love; patience begetting patience; kindness begetting kindness; brotherly love showing forth in its activity that which becomes such as to make for hope eternally renewed within the human breast.
    And these coordinated with a nominal, normal activity of the physical body, RENEW the whole influences of same.
22. (Q) What will improve my memory?
    (A) Making applications of those things indicated will make for that which will not only become constructive, but will create the ability for the drawing of comparisons with these influences which become conducive to a constructive growth of an influence within the activities of self. Thus these renew themselves even as do the fledglings that begin with their first attempt to use the muscular forces. So it is with the mental emergencies and activities, if these are kept within not merely the confines but being constructive and creative forces within self. Thus the body-mind will not only be enabled to partake of they physical energies necessary, but of the spiritual influence that must ever become a portion of every entity's activity.
23. (Q) Is the prostate gland involved in any way?
    (A) Only as in reflex condition, as we find in the present, that will be met through the activities of the adrenals, and through some that have been overactive, as indicated - in producing resistances to others. For these activative forces through the properties indicated will bring about the changes by the variation in the flow of impulse through the nerve forces that replenish. And not only will same be aided by the elements changed in the bodily functionings, but by the dissemination to same through those applications as indicated to the various centers from which the portions of the system receive their impulses for activity.
24. (Q) Any special diet or warnings respecting same?
    (A) Follow those foods that are well in keeping with what is understood by self. For here we may find the exercising of comparisons upon self. Not as experimentations, but when there are those elements known to be needed and they are added to the system, and they produce that natural inclination for those things that will supply the influences for the bodily functionings, then RESPOND to them by comparison with the mental self. And then these become such that indeed the body-mind may through constructive force within self enable self to renew itself.
25. (Q) What causes the sluggishness in the superficial lymph glands?
    (A) That activity as we have indicated, in the non-functioning or over-coordination or over-balancing in those functionings of the glands as indicated; that make for their warring one with another in portions of the system. And these produce to the superficial circulation that lack of the sufficient energies to carry to the lymph circulation those influences necessary.
    O that there were more, as this body, who would consider that necessary coordination of the lymph and emunctory activities with those of the general circulation!
    Study it well in thyself, and thou wilt be able to give to others much that will add to the human hope in this experience!
26. We are through for the present.
