TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1371].
3. As we find, there are changes in the general physical forces of the body.
4. While there may not appear outwardly a great deal of change in the PHYSICAL coordination, there is a great deal better coordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems.
5. Also there is better reaction to the influences of the sensory forces upon the mental and the physical reactions.
6. In considering the varied conditions which are gradually arising, in the changing that is coming about, there must be the precautions that there is not an overstimulation to any of the organs as related to the activities of same with the nervous forces and influences of the body.
7. Hence, while we would keep the necessary influences for and from the low electrical forces which are adding the influence to the nervous system and the ganglia in their activity, and also keep the general massage which has been indicated, -
8. We would find it well now to have specific corrections made; and as we find made osteopathically, in the brush end of the cerebrospinal system, or from the lumbar axis through the sacral and ileum plexus and the coccyx end of the spine; as well as coordinating these areas with the 9th dorsal and the vagus center.
9. If the other applications are kept as indicated, we find it would not be necessary to have the corrections made more than once a week.
10. Such corrections as we find might be well done by Bolkhardt, or such an one.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Should the Oil Packs and rubs be continued?
    (A) As indicated, the rubs should be continued. The Oil Packs, especially, should be used just before the adjustments are made in the specific areas indicated, - that is, the Oil Packs the ONE day, the day before the adjustments are made each week.
    It would not be necessary, of course, to use the rubs on the day the adjustments are made, see?
13. (Q) Should the Wet Cell Appliance be continued in the same manner?
    (A) As indicated, it should be kept; for there are the needs of the vibratory forces from the Gold Solution for the activity with the glandular system. This should be kept in the regular order as has been indicated.
14. (Q) Should all other present treatments be continued?
    (A) All other present treatments, but add or change the Packs in the manner indicated, - making the adjustments once a week.
15. (Q) Is there still the indication that she will be normal at eighteen, if these treatments are continued?
    (A) As we find, if there is kept this regular change, we will find within another cycle a great DEAL of change brought about; and should bring near to normalcy - in seventeen, eighteen, - yes.
16. (Q) Will the speech and brain become normal?
    (A) This, of course, will depend upon the adjustments so that there may be the filling out of the indentations made by the activity of the coordinating forces through the cerebrospinal and sympathetic - or reflexes and cerebrospinal. This should make for near a normal condition, and some UNUSUAL activity in some directions.
17. (Q) Is she responding properly to the suggestions given by the mother at night?
    (A) There are times when there is a wonderful response. There are others when this is not so well. But be persistent and very prayerful and meditative; and we will find this will increase in its effectiveness as the adjustments are made, and as there is accomplished the alleviation of activities through the cerebrospinal and sympathetic system.
18. (Q) Are these suggestions being given properly?
    (A) These are very good; only the persistence be kept - and do not let doubt and fear enter!
    Hold to that which has been indicated as to the source of the assurance, the faith, the activity.
19. (Q) May it be given as to why, from a spiritual standpoint, the entity should be so afflicted in this life?
    (A) That His purposes may be carried on. He hath not willed that any soul should perish. In some environs there would not be the care, nor the assuring to the soul of the love which casteth out fear.
20. We are through with this Reading.

REPORTS

1. 12/19/41 GD's note to Mrs. [808] regarding securing [1371]'s Wet Cell Appliance for treating Mrs. [2640]:
   A few years ago a Reading recommended the LONG use of the Appliance for an afflicted girl. The mother carried out the treatment for several months, but it was really necessary for it to be done YEARS in her case. I've tried to get a report from the mother but she hasn't said one word on the case in more than a year. So I feel sure she is not doing a thing about it now, and would probably be glad to get rid of the Appliance, - that is, to sell it for a few dollars. Anyway, you might go see her:
   Mrs. [...]
   Mrs. [...] is a very dear friend of one of our dear friends in Norfolk, and we did hope she would keep up the treatment, but it was difficult for her, not knowing anything of the philosophy of the Readings and not having anyone near her to give encouragement. Then, too, I don't think her husband was in sympathy with it.
   Love, and a Merry Christmas to you and [2784].
   As ever, [signed] Gladys
