TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [4125], this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, the conditions in every respect are greatly improved. There are the releasing of the pressures in such a manner that there is the proper reaction in the sympathetic and the cerebro-spinal system. To be sure, these being under stress and strain for such periods will require that there be kept much that has been outlined for the body.
3. Those vibrations from the Radio-Active will make for the continued coordination in nerve, muscular, and coordinating between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal.
4. There will be the necessity for periods to have the manipulation and the correction along the cerebro-spinal centers, especially where there has been stress and strain in those centers where the coordination between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal system has caused those contractions, those reactions, the abnormal conditions for the active forces between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal.
5. Those medicinal properties that act with the glands of the system to create stamen, and to add to the system those properties that make for the proper assimilations for the various centers, these will be well also.
6. As for the activities physically and mentally, keep those that will make for the nearer normal reactions; mingling with individuals, but with those that make for and SEE for the BETTERMENT of the conditions. As we find, the body within its mental self should, for self and for those that depend upon same, make the choice within self that those forces from which there comes the constructive from the spiritual self KNOW that which is set before self, ASK and rely upon the spiritual from within; for the physical is being more and more NORMAL in its ability to respond to the mental and spiritual forces. Then, let the mental activities be prompted by that that is of the spiritual nature, that those results builded in the mental and the physical forces will have those impulses to make for the spiritual reactions that bring harmony, peace, contentment that passeth understanding.
7. Be not overcome, but holding fast to that thou hast in the faith of the fathers press onward to the mark of the higher calling that is set in that knowledge that in the Father all may find that necessary force that will bring that harmony, that peace, to make for the proper reactions in the physical and the mental self.
8. Then, know that thou hast received is of HIS doing, and in giving out to others in the ways and manners that will bring in their experience the knowledge of the good that may be accomplished in their seeking first the kingdom of God that is within each and every individual, those necessary things in the physical, the material, will be added as is necessary.
9. Keep, then, those things that thou wouldst present unto Him, the Giver of all good and perfect gifts.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Please outline specifically just what and how much the activities of the body should be when she returns home.
    (A) That that is near a normal action; for there are many duties that are felt within self, that the relationships in various associations and connections must be established on a basis that is not as of self, but as in accord with that as would be worshiped by self, in the God the body would worship. On THAT basis, then, ESTABLISH all relations; and go about in the activities, in the associations with others, in that that seemeth to self to bring nearer and nearer those forces that WOULD make for the better HARMONY in every direction. Not that the physical must be strained that material gains may come, but that the mental and spiritual balance is kept, that there may BE those that find within the activities of self that the self has, does remain in the presence of the Giver of good and perfect gifts, thus GLORIFYING Him in the daily life. Does it seem well that there should be some material activities, well. Does it seem well that for the time being there should be the rest, and those of the social and material relations established in such a way and manner that brings nearer and nearer the thought of the spiritual, well; but do not become the extremist in ANY direction.
12. (Q) What shall she do about the warts on the body, on the face?
    (A) We will remove 'em!
13. (Q) How may this be done?
    (A) Through these very same channels! Mr. Cayce himself! [See 4125-5, Par. R1.] From this day on they will begin to disappear. Know they will! They WILL!
14. (Q) Is the Radio-Active battery operating in the body properly, and is the body responding properly to its use?
    (A) As given, these are responding properly. Keep all the connections in the proper order, as given, and use in the way and manner outlined. These will assist in keeping the proper conditions toward the coordinating (which is the most necessary) between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal system.
    For the moment, let's understand what the sympathetic and the cerebro-spinal nervous system ARE within the human body!
    In the cerebro-spinal centers, here we have the brain, the spinal cord - which enters through all the cerebro-spinal system, passing through each vertebra, and the impingements on same often cause much of the distress to the body-physical. This may be represented as the PHYSICAL organism.
    There is lying along each side of the cerebro-spinal system a series, or on either side a cord known as the SYMPATHETIC nervous system. Not within the structural portions, but CONNECTING with same at DEFINITE points; though in many points connecting with same but at DEFINITE points.
    The activities of these:
    The cerebro-spinal, the nerve cord itself, acts for the physical attributes of the body through the IMPULSES.
    The sympathetic is the greater IMPULSIVE system.
    Now, materially, very little is set up - in other than metaphysics - as to what is the functioning proper of the sympathetic system; but, as has been with this body, by destroying within the imaginative system much that had been builded morally and spiritually within self, became such a shock to the whole of the physical body as to produce - FROM the sympathetic system INTO the moral fibre of the cerebro-spinal system - those conditions that became as has been experienced by the body. Gradually, disassociation of ideas, disassociation of activities became active within the body, so that the body was racked by torments from without and from within; for there came no response either from the definite activity of the cerebro-spinal or the sympathetic system, and those centers that suffered were those that have been outlined as the ones needing - even yet - those stimuli occasionally that there may be kept COORDINATION in the system. Now, these have been released - these pressures, and there is gradually being created by the activities of the low electrical form that making for better associations and connections in the system; there is being gradually added by the activities of the thoughts of the body, by the activities in the glands that work both with the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal system, that which makes for better coordinating conditions.
    Know that the moral fibre, that the spiritual activities of the system, are being set and attuned; or know that within self that set before self as its ideal. Hold fast then to that thou hast started building. We will find, not only will there be builded greater physical and mental abilities within the body, but to be able to give out more to others will be that mission in which the body will excel in many, many ways.
15. (Q) Would it be well for the body to have an alcohol rub every night and morning?
    (A) This is well occasionally; but if such is given it would be better were there something of the bath as in the sweat bath, but not heated very hot, see? Follow this!
16. (Q) Just how - ?
    (A) Sweat cabinet, as we have given! Sweat cabinets! Then, when it is rubbed down, this should be combined - rather than just the alcohol:
    Take 3 ounces of Russian White Oil, 3 ounces of witchhazel, 6 ounces of rub alcohol. Shake this together, see? Massage THIS over the body, because it will supply to the fibre of the system that which will make food value to the stimuli necessary for the whole capillary circulation, carrying into same that which will make for the eliminations necessary in the respiratory and in the glands that lie close to the emunctory and lymph circulation. This would be given about once each week. This will keep down cold and congestion.
17. (Q) Should the Gold be given as it has been outlined?
    (A) This has been given, that it should.
18. (Q) Is it alright for the body to go home now?
    (A) Yes, that's what we have given - that it could, and it should! Will be better, and - as we have outlined - these are the conditions to build on that premise!
19. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. GD's note re 4125-5, Par. 13-A: The handwriting is Harmon Bro's, made after I explained to him that frequently EC consciously removed warts from people - he would rub the wart and tell the person to forget all about it; in a few days it would disappear without the person knowing just when or how. EC attributed this to a kind of electricity which his hands generated; he said many people could do it.
