TEXT

GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them.
EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions and anxieties as related to same.
Here we find a psychic disturbance with this body, where there is not the coordinating between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous systems. This is particularly related to the coordinating centers in the last cervicals and the upper dorsals.
Though these are of a specific nature, we find that merely the mechanical treating of the pathological conditions will not bring response. We find that the administrations for this condition may not be best delegated to others than those physically responsible for the entrance of this soul-entity into the material plane.
To be sure this should have been begun some years back, yet in the present there may be found results if there will be the following of these applications suggested, consistently and persistently.
We would not advise that this treatment be begun unless it is to be daily administered; not by one of the parents but by both. The massages may be given by one or the other parent. Whichever one begins it should keep it up.
Use Cocoa Butter for massaging into the areas especially in the lower cervicals and through the upper dorsals, or from the 7th and 8th dorsal to the 1st cervical. Massage rather in a rotary motion and on each side of the spine. This would be done when the body prepares for retiring.
Then, as the body goes to sleep, let the parents - together, not separately - give suggestions for the body. The suggestions should be for a unified activity of mind with mind, to control the subconscious and to control the activities reacting from the suggestions to the organs of the sensory system - in prayer, in meditation.
This, too, requires that the parents live that they pray for, and that the suggestions be made in unison. These words would or should be altered, to be sure, for these must be responses of those responsible for the body, from their very inner being. But these thoughts should be included:
FATHER, GOD! IN THY MERCY AND IN THY LOVE, BE THOU PRESENT WITH US NOW, AS WE SEEK TO GUIDE THE BODY AND MIND OF THIS THY CHILD IN BECOMING A BETTER CHANNEL OF SERVICE TO THEE AT THIS TIME.
Then the suggestion to the child, (calling his name): Thy inner self, thy subconscious self, thy super-conscious self will react to the will of the Father-God; that ye may be a better channel for His service in the earth.
These suggestions, of course, may alter from time to time, but these should be given consistently and daily. Give at least an hour each evening to this service. It will bring to the parents, it will bring to this entity, [4058], the activities for this body to be a physical, mental and spiritual manifestation of the love, of the promises given the child of men.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Why does he shake his fingers and hands at certain times of the day?
(A) The inability of coordination between suggestions and the impulses reacting. Do as indicated if you would bring help for the body.

BACKGROUND

10/12/43 Father's letter to EC: "...A very good friend informed me of your remarkable psychical power to help and cure the afflicted. She also told me how remarkably you helped her.
"Now I am going to ask you to try and help my little boy, [4058], who is 12 years of age and of the Jewish faith. This boy is in good physical health but so far, does not talk. His hearing is exceptionally good, but cannot talk. He has a voice and sometimes calls Dada (sic) or Mama but very faint and not often. He can also laugh or cry as the case happens to be. His appearance is perfectly normal. In fact, if you saw him among a group of children you could never tell that anything was wrong with him and could not single him out as being different from any other child. But the fact is that he does not talk and becomes very nervous at times, causing us lots of sorrow and aggravation. Naturally he is backward in that condition and cannot send him to school. He doesn't seem to have the patience to concentrate on anything but feel that if he could talk, we could control him.
"This boy is clean in his habits and knows how to go to the bathroom himself.
"I had him to all the great medical specialists but they cannot do anything for him. Nevertheless, we do notice an improvement in him every year. He seems to get a little smarter every year, so with God's help, do what you can for my boy, [4058], so as the child may enjoy a normal life like other children and begin talking.
"I will appreciate hearing from you soon as convenient, as we would be very happy if something could be done for this child as soon as possible..."
1/03/44 Father's letter to EC: "...I wish to advise that my boy, [4058], will be about the house running around as he usually does about that time of April 3rd, 10:30 to 11:30 in the morning.
"You also wish me to make out a list of questions to have asked at the time of the reading.
"I would like to ask: Why does he not talk, as he hears one hundred percent, and other children that are more backward and with less intelligence than [4058], can talk. He often hums songs in tune he heard on the radio. And why does he shake with his fingers and hands at certain times of the day?
"In your opinion, do you think there is a chance for my boy to talk? I may want to ask a few more questions, so please let me know if there is something more you would like to know about [4058] and oblige..."
