TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions as we find in this body have to do more with the nervous forces and systems within the body than with the organic forces as commonly known; though the organs themselves deflect and show the action of the abnormal conditions throughout the body. Now these are conditions as we find in this body here, Mr. [4097], we are speaking of:
2. Throughout the blood forces and system we find the normal action of the forces as presented or shown in the system, yet the blood carries the reaction of nerve forces as acted upon it, especially through the circulation of the brain forces and of the action of the nerve centers governing the flow of the blood to this portion of the body. In the nerve center of head itself, the seat of the emotions and expressions as received or transmitted through the sensory system, we find the action of the brain itself to be that of dementia praecox - that is, the softening of the tissue used to present the reaction of impressions to the centers as distributed from the action of the sensory system in itself, action of the body itself. That is, impressions as received to this body act refractorily on the centers giving off the impressions received to this body, so that we have only a partial action of the brain to give the proper incentive to the movements of the other forces in the body; or the impossible forces present themselves through the action of other portions of the body. So that the expressions as given off from the body to proceed with its actions become hallucinations, as it were to other minds and the expressions from this mind become of a demented force in the actions; yet to the mind itself it is rational. In its impressions to others it expresses the irrational.
3. This, as we find, has been produced by the breaking of cell force itself in the blood supply, as we have given here, to the brain force itself. Though this may be removed by the stimulus of nerve tissue and sensations, by the use of forces within the system to remove the condition as shown or expressed in the brain action itself; by applying to the centers that give the supply of blood to the brain and that remove from the circulation the used forces, as given off by the flow of blood through the brain, that can absorb from the system those impurities that have been left and caused the hallucinations of the body at the present time.
4. We would stimulate the functioning of the spleen forces to an extent of taking, or calling forth from the blood and circulation from the brain to the spleen, so that we would supply a new force to the circulation entirely and give off its force to the brain force itself. This we will find will necessarily have to proceed through the action of the sensory system, or by impressions the body is to receive from other minds more powerful than its own at the present time. This would be accomplished by the body being subjected to extreme heat so that all centers of the nerve system become perfectly relaxed. When under this condition the body would be put into a subnormal state, that is hypnosis or mesmeristic forces applied to the body itself when in this state.
5. Then the body would be treated by electric magnetic forces at the 9th and 8th dorsal and at the 1st cervical, relieving there the lesion formed by the breaking of cellular forces. This, you see, would require from six to eight months to effect a perfect balance and flow of blood through the portions of the body.
6. This can be accomplished in the Still-Hildreth Sanatorium.
7. (Q) Where is that sanatorium located?
   (A) Lincoln, [Macon?] Mo. Do this, we will find we will bring the normal conditions to this body here, [4097] we are speaking of.
8. (Q) What produce these conditions, Mr. Cayce?
   (A) Extreme nervous tension that overtaxed the system, as received through the sensory forces, until the cells broke here at the 1st cervical.
9. (Q) When did that happen, can you tell me when that occurred?
   (A) 29 1/2 moons ago.
10. (Q) Can you tell me where this occurred and where this occurred and what caused it?
    (A) In the first cervical, where occurred the breaking of the forces, is the entrance of the circulation to the brain receptive forces, as we have given here.
    Do this, as we have given, if we would bring the normal condition to this body.
