TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions in the physical. The body throughout, however, is very good in the physical forces and those of the mental and spiritual forces within, all that make the entity, are well balanced with the physical body. The body subjugates much of its mental and physical self through the physical forces in their action. That is, the body has many impulses from the spiritual forces in its body that the subjugated through the physical and in opposition often times with the mental development of the body. The relation between the physical and soul, or force that controls with the mental activity, is that which gives the shading often to the spiritual intent and purpose to which the body sets its physical self, as would be termed, - the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, see.
2. The development of the entity then should strive more under this physical force and plane to develop the impulse of the spiritual forces of its entity and express more of this through its personality or its mental and soul forces in the physical body.
3. In the physical, we find as these conditions: The blood supply in the system is very good. There are in some of the centers, in the ligaments of the system, that show the effect of blood strain upon those nerve centers governing those ligaments, - such as we have in the ilium plexus and in the first cervical plexus or rather in the gangulin [ganglion?] of the first cervical plexus or in that tissue proper that covers the center, see. Or that is termed from this plane, the peunereal [perineurial?] sheath. In the nerve system, the strain between the physical and mental, with the spiritual attributes of the individual, finds expression not only in the brain itself, but in that of the sympathetic system or the brain manifestation of soul forces in the body. As in this, impulse will make portions of the physical body act, when mental forces will force the body of [4566] to act opposite, see. In this we find then the centers in the nerve system show this strain, - that is the body physically examined from self or outside would be termed not an over-nervous person, when in fact internally he is above the normal in temperament and nervousness, see.
4. The physical, in the function of the organs themselves, we find first in the brain force itself, those combative elements of impulse and training of materialism, of spiritualism or spirituality both manifested there. The body does not at all times control these forces to the best developing of its, the body's entity, see. In the action of the sensory organism of the body physically, with the reflexes to the brain from which the organ attains its definition or dividing of those forces, are at times shaded by its individual entity and give that reflection in its manifestation to the physical plane. Physically, the condition in the sensory organism is of that force as created by the abnormal condition in the gangulin [ganglion?] about the first cervical. Hence the governing of those portions of the body controlled by this center which is to the lower portion, hence the susceptibility of the body as a body of incentives or accidents to the lower extremities.
5. In the throat, larynx, bronchials, thyroids, and organs, and tissue of the neck and throat, the body is normal from the physical forces. Lungs very good. Heart forces show the nerve strain n the system rather than any of the other organs in their direct functioning. Hence the condition that would be found by test of the heart itself in its functioning, though not an abnormal condition for this body, nor one to be wary of in the physical sense unless the body allows the temperamental condition to override the elemental forces of the mental capacity of the body. Then we would have reaction from the central force of brain and heart action. Digestive, physically very good at present. Throughout. There is in the pneumogastric center that of the nature as is shown with temperamental physical bodies and its reaction is in this connection. Hence the condition of the body digestion or of the desire of food with the temperamental condition. Worries, the body does not want to eat, - it should not, but it does not want to, see. In the pancreas, duodenum, liver and their functioning, is very good at the present time. Through the upper portion of intestinal tract, that is the physical forces from which the body needs to be the most careful, for with the relaxation of the system of that that gives the incentive from the functioning organs to create that necessary to carry the best building forces in the system, from that given in the body to produce the new cellular forces, be careful that these are conducted or guided correct, remembering the warning of the condition that would come to the lower portion of the body. The hepatic circulation very good. Kidneys and bladder in the functioning, there are spasmodic conditions through this, by the system attempting to throw off that of the forces accumulated by inflammation caused in the ilium plexus and this is expressed in the functioning of this organ at times. In the mental forces of the body the development for that vocation would be best for this body of that pertaining to contract or of the training of those for their relations to men with contracting purposes, see. In this the vocation would allow for the better of the individual, both in its own development and from the financial standpoint, see.
6. In the spiritual forces, the body will be well to listen more to the incentives as come to the body as inspirational forces. These are conditions that we find in this body of [4566].
7. (Q) Mr. Cayce: Please suggest treatment for the cure of this body.
   (A) To give that incentive to the body for the best in the physical forces, would be to allow the mental, through spiritual, to control, rather than by the application of medicinal properties, using the own body as its store of vibration to create the energy necessary to give the correct vibrations to the body, see. That is, give the perfect accord, study to show thyself approved unto thyself through thy creative forces in this physical plane, see. Second appearance of this body on this plane.
8. We are through.
