Then it BEHOOVES the body, [
1409] to so use the
opportunities, that are being given for the activities in
this material experience, that the love, the life of the
spiritual-minded be impressed upon the consciousness of all
the body may contact. Not by laudation but by just being
gentle, kind, patient, longsuffering; exhorting all, to be
sure, but not as in a domineering way but rather as in
humbleness of mind; preferring the other in the place of
self.
As to the physical attributes in the present, we find:
Since the temperature has been allayed, there is the
necessity, to be sure, that there are not foods used nor
activities that would tend to make for the weakening of the
digestive forces, nor the allowing of activities of the
assimilating system - the liver, the kidneys or the whole
hepatic circulation - to become so congested as to allow the
temperature to arise again.
Hence we would keep rather a tendency to the
alkalin-producing foods; as fruit juices of all kinds.
Quantities of these may be taken, but often rather than a
great deal at once.
To be sure, buttermilk (if it is home-made) and corn bread,
toast, coddled egg, crisp bacon may be gradually added; not
all at once, to be sure, but just sufficient that the body
gains the strength physically.
And keep the eliminations well.
The Castoria will prove the more helpful; or if this becomes
so as to nauseate (which it may), then use preferably an oil
enema with the Russian White Oil or Usoline; not too much -
about three to four tablespoonsful would be sufficient to
make a reaction through the lower portion of the alimentary
canal and to the colon, as to produce the proper activity of
the lymph circulation throughout the alimentary system.
Do not exercise or sit up or walk about TOO SOON, but
gradually - just a little.
Keep the body cool, but not cold.
And we will find, as indicated, the greater opportunities
for the glorifying of the influences that are giving the
opportunity for the body in this experience.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Should the cool enemas still be used?
(A) Rather as has been indicated, if it is necessary for
enemas use the Oil; this not hot, not cold - but the regular
temperature.
(Q) Would the medicine prescribed by the physician be
beneficial to the body?
(A) This hasn't applied, doesn't apply in the present, as we
find.
(Q) How long before any solid foods should be given?
(A) This will depend upon the abilities and the activities
of the body as to the gaining of strength, by the mental
attitude as well as by the taking of the fruit juices as
indicated, and vegetable juices, and those properties as
indicated that may be taken. This depends upon those. Do
not take solid food too soon.
(Q) Should the alcohol rubs be continued, and should the
grain alcohol still be used in preference to rub alcohol?
(A) These are very well to be given occasionally, though
they may be farther apart. This would depend upon whether
temperature arises or not. The temperature has been broken,
you see. Now, it has been indicated that much depends upon
the attitude not only of the body but of those that have made
intercession. Do not give away too soon; for in union there
is strength.
It must be the grain alcohol, to be sure, and not the rub.
(Q) Would wine be beneficial?
(A) Not yet. This a little bit later. Red wine in the
late afternoon with brown bread will be helpful, and as a
food - not as a drink.
(Q) Should the whiskey still be burned for the eggnog before
taking?
(A) This must be burned, and use RYE whiskey!
(Q) Should the Radio-Active Appliance and the electrical
vibrator be used now?
(A) Not as yet.
(Q) Any other information at this time that would be
helpful?
(A) Do these, and the hands will be full for more than one!
