(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Are Dr. Garrett's mental suggestion treatments helpful and should they be continued?
(A) As we find, and as indicated in the manner in which the suggestions have been able to DIRECT the body in that as would be of help, these are helpful to the body.
We would give, then, that it is well to continue the suggestions; making them more and more of a spiritual as well as a positive nature to the mental body.
(Q) Are there any special suggestions which he should make?
(A) Just as indicated, suggest to the SPIRITUAL self as well as to the mental self.
Here are directions, for consideration at least, for any or all who would make mental suggestions to individuals: There is the physical body with its attributes - as the functioning of the organs of the body. Through this there is the MENTAL activity with its associations or its use of the flexures and reflexes of the same organism by the centers directed from or through impulses as controlled in the brain, see? Then there is the spiritual body, which acts with and through those activities of the physical body - and the nerves or mental body - to produce that which is creative or reproductive or activative in the ability for reproduction of itself in and through same.
Hence suggestions that are more and more of a constructive, creative nature, and directed to the impulses through which the mental forces and influences are active, will and do bring the greater helpful forces than mere positive statements to the mental to do or not do, see?
(Q) What, if any, physical change is taking place?
(A) There is gradually being created a better coordination through the vibratory forces from the Gold activating upon the impulse in the plasm of the nerve force itself.
The activity of this metal or element upon the system, and in the manner as it is being given, while slow, is to aid in creating or bringing a better coordination between impulses of the sympathetic AND the central or cerebrospinal nerve reactions.
Hence it is well that these vibrations be continued in the manner indicated.
Do not attempt to use same after the Gold in the Solution has precipitated to such an extent as not to be directed by the activity of the vibratory forces of the low electrical force.
Hence it is well to renew the Gold Solution at least every fifteen days.
Also be sure to keep the connections polished before and after their attachment to the body, and remove the connection that passes through the Solution when it is not in use.
(Q) What, if any, mental change is taking place?
(A) This is very slow, but there are some improvements.
(Q) What will this Vibratory Gold Solution and massage treatment accomplish?
(A) It SHOULD accomplish that as we have indicated. As to what, it will depend upon the purpose and manner with which the treatments are administered. The massage only assists the impulse for activity from the nerve centers and ganglia to be directed in the activities of the functioning portions of the system that are controlled by certain reflexes or certain impulses created in same.
Just as in that where there may be a clogged line or a dammed stream. If there are particles removed, it allows the greater flow of activity.
And these impulses for mental and physical reaction are necessary for the body to coordinate properly. Hence the massage should assist in the impulses being carried from assimilated forces to the activities of the mental, the physical and the spiritual self.
(Q) Is it possible to restore the cellular structure of this brain or to bring about compensatory action whereby the mind may again function perfectly in this body?
(A) As indicated, if there is the ability for sufficient of the properties to be absorbed through the vibratory forces of the Gold impulse, and the suggestions for creative activities in the system are kept, it may be done.
If there is the increase of the impulse for destructive forces within self, these - of course - would naturally break down.
(Q) Is it possible to restore the speech?
(A) If the coordinations are set up between the impulses as related to those activities from the cerebrospinal system, and the impulses received from those portions of the body for same, we may gradually restore the speech.
As to whether it will be done or not will depend upon the persistency and the desire of the body, as may be created by suggestion.
(Q) How may the cause of the crying and yelling be antidoted?
(A) Only through the suggestions; and the natural increase of the impulses to make for greater or closer normalcy in reflex.
(Q) What change if any should be made in treatment?
(A) Only as we find the consistency in the application of the suggestions and those things indicated; through the vibratory effect carrying the principles of activity in the physical forces to the bodily functions.
(Q) Any other advice or suggestion?
(A) Only keep in these directions, as we find.
We are through with this Reading.

REPORTS

8/15/38 [...]'s mother [1553] SEEMS a wee bit better - we understand little of her speech - The throat condition - attempted clearing - rasping - and difficulty in swallowing maintains - This throat complex is of long duration - long prior to any "attack".
Constipation, also of long long duration - almost of entire life period, does not improve - She cries a LITTLE less - Left knee and leg remains considerably paralyzed (apparently) -
Believe a sort of "resignation" is becoming slightly noticeable at times. Have you ever had a case of unclean or evil spirit obsessing or annoying one? I'm wondering in her case! The crying is so peculiar and expresses rage at times - though the reasoning ability MAY be more constant?
Believe a check reading should be had at your earliest though [...] says "I do not know WHAT to ask!" Thus my attempted description of her now relative condition. Maybe you, dear Hugh, will frame the proper questions?
8/19/38 See 1553-6.
