EC: You see we have here in this body of [
3990] we are
talking about, - we have the physical body, that is the man,
with all its attributes in the system that go to make up the
man as we have him here from the first, with the different
systems, and organisms in the whole body, and organs that are
governed from different parts in the system. We have those
from the sensory system, wherewith he is afflicted here, in
one of the senses. There is trouble here with the eye. From
here, we have the impressions that are made to the brain or
through the senses, - feeling, seeing, hearing and smelling.
The act on the sensory organism, or impressions to the brain,
wherewith we know things which are tasted, by comparison.
The supplying forces to these, or to the sensory system is
through the circulation, or the blood in the body. We have
the first impression in the embryo, here in the body, is
made by the contamination of the secreting or taking into the
organ, in the body in itself, the blood of the mother. As
these are grown up, and built up into the body, and at the
time it is taken from the mother, it becomes to rely on the
sense, or the brain, in the organ here of the brain. The
supplying forces from these organs are given out by the
blood that is forced into the arteries by the heart, into the
different parts of the body. The supplying of these, extend
along the whole spine, or the nervous system, with that of
the muscular force which supplies to these. The nourishment
or nutriment to the head has been insufficient to supply
these in the body. By the concussion of the causes in the
head, we have the condition produced in the eye, on the
nerve force or optic nerve to the eye, which effected these
conditions in supplying the blood to these forces, to remove
the rebuilding force which is supplied into the system by
these. We come in contact with these along the spine from
the first and second cervical, second dorsal, and second
lumbar. In the rest of the body, we find some sympathetic
conditions through the system, as carried by these organs
into the system, from the rest of the sensory system to
their perspective centers, or as we have the condition in the
system of the head, from the ear, or that into the feeling
or movement of the body here from the cardiac plexus, ileum
plexus, sympathetically, or through the subconscious self in
it. The impressions or feelings to the body become strong
or animated, or the sense of nature takes possession of the
person.
(Q) Any other conditions?
(A) These are the conditions we have through the circulation
and through the nerve force in the system.
(Q) Will these effects, if allowed to remain, cause a
nervous break-down?
(A) The cause lies here to the sense of hearing and to the
eye. The sensation to the system, on the sensory system on
to the nervous portion of the body is through the sympathetic
system. The nervousness in the system or in any body,
produced by the sensory system, of course, is stronger, and
more tiring to the whole physical body than that of a nervous
force produced from the cerebrospinal system, because that
acts on the organism of the make of the man. That is,
through the sympathetic or abnormal mind, and through the
mind of the body in itself.
(Q) Is this trouble curable?
(A) Could be, yes.
(Q) What treatment would you prescribe?
(A) Suggestion and electricity.
(Q) Electricity along the spine?
(A) Electricity is life, in the nerve force of the body.
We have electricity, as we know from the outside, as a
force that exists, motion. In the nervous system of the
body or in the human body or being, as we have it here,
impressions produced through the sensory system, acted by
the force of nature given from the first impressions to the
man, or make-up, from the maker, the electrical force
applied, as we know from material, acts on the nervous system
of the body. Relays of these are as the stations of ganglia
or nerve centers as we have them situated in the system of
the body. The relays of nerves to the sensory system, are
through the sympathetics. Those of the cerebrospinal, or
the spinal cord, are in the brain itself, or the ends here,
as we have through the oblongata. The forces on these,
applied by material, of electrical force from the outside,
from direct current will produce exaggeration or inflammation
to the nerve walls. The reverse, or a cold electrical force,
that is of low origin, produces a sullen, or sedative to the
nerve force and the suggestion or the power of control over
the body, or mind, make the action of the forces in the
system. If we use electrical force in the system, which we
have now, it would be of low origin or of cold storage or
batteries applied along to the centers of the lymphatic
circulation, to the arm pits, ankles, or knee, and under
them. Or the reverse current from static electricity along
the spine or cerebrospinal forces. The suggestion would be
to the mind in itself in a state of coma, or as it goes to
sleep, and will reach the sensory system by touch and
hearing.
(Q) Is the eye too far gone to stand electricity?
(A) No. Electricity, if it is applied in the proper form,
here to the spine, along the centers supplying these from it,
from the dorsal and cervical, would irritate, but a cold or
low origin, will produce a sedative to these.
(Q) Any other treatment he would need for the present?
(A) Do this if you want to save the man.
