TEXT

1. EC: Now, in this body we will find those conditions that would be an interesting study psychologically, pathologically or biologically. From the psycho-analytical standpoint, we find manifestations in this present personage of that condition studied from hereditary standpoints, yet with the psycho-analytical forces we find the deeper forces producing conditions in physical than from hereditary standpoint only, though this inertia had much to do with the present condition as manifested in the system.
2. This body, in the physical, may be assisted, yet never given the full perfect control of all of the portions of the system; yet the soul and spirit force will find in this entity that with the developing in self and in others that there will build to the developing upon this plane towards that point from which every soul and spirit force takes its flight, and to which purpose all individual entities are entered into the earth plane.
3. In the physical we find that lack of coordination in the system, that allows the physical to become a taxation to soul and spirit entity, and in this burdens even the higher elements of the physical forces. This is produced physically from inertia, and (that is, prenatal inertia) from the condition as the soul forces contracted through relativity of forces to the conditions surrounded before the body became a physical being.
4. In the action then of the physical in system to be overcome, it has to do with the nerve forces as connect between the cerebrospinal, sympathetic and the coordinating forces of the perineurial and hypogastric with the brain and the nerve systems.
5. Then, to give the best forces that will give some relief to this body, we would apply those conditions as are found in this: To two gallons of rain water, we would add:

   Plain Charcoal.............1/2 pound,
Heavy Sea Salt.............1/2 pound,
Copper Sulphate..........1 1/2 pounds,
Sulphuric Acid C.P...........2 ounces,
Common Zinc.................10 drams.

6. Preferably this would be placed in glass container. In this solution there would also be placed a one-pound opaque container of iodine. This whole solution then would be charged to heavy copper plates being placed in solution charged with the low battery charging formation until the solution will give off at least five and one-half ohms in discharge.
7. To the positive pole there would be attached a heavy plate (nickel) which would be attached at the umbilicus. The plate should be large though to cover the whole center surrounding this portion of the body.
8. The negative pole, with wire and smaller plate, would be attached at the first cervical.
9. This should be done for at least one hour each evening. When the solution has gone below the discharge of one and one half ohms, then recharge the battery formation. They are connected by small wires to the plates that are attached to the body.
10. This should be kept for at least six to eight months. After the third or fourth charge, have the massage over the whole system to carry the nerve ends through the system that make connection in those centers as governed from the pneumogastric, hypogastric, ilium, first and second cervical, and of the cardiac and the ilium plexuses. All of those should be massaged, so as to bring through to the whole circulation. And the gentle train of the mind should be with the treatments as given in the battery. Gradually control the mental forces, as will be shown in simple manifestations at first, and build into the system the desire of physical forces to be of assistance in developing in the present plane. Do that.
11. Care, persistence and attention must be given at all times. It is worth the price to any that would accomplish these. See that they are thoroughly carried forth, for in this we will see the manifestations of that injunction "As ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them".
