EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, this body we find
is very good throughout. It is in the developing stage and
is very amenable to suggestion. The forces that have to do
with the developing of the physical through this body are
exceedingly good, there only being through the vibrations
necessary to give the proper functioning of the sensory
organism that, that is not perfectly balanced in this body.
There is at the third, fourth and fifth cervical those
inundations in the distributing of forces in nerve centers
that govern the flow of vibratory force from the sympathetic
and pneumogastric nerves, that which causes the improper
distribution of more perfectly, improper elimination of used
forces from these nerves that govern the sense of sight,
hence the irritation that easily comes to the retina and the
eyelids itself, giving off such force as to make disagreeable
sensations to that portion of the body. They only need to
be corrected through the perfect adjustment of the centers
along the cervical region and sufficient exercise to the rest
of the body as to give the perfect elimination through the
proper channels.
When the condition is produced that causes inflammation to
be apparent in the eye where cold or congestion sets in from
the predisposition of forces in the system, we would apply
locally small quantities of scraped Irish potato to the eye
to draw out the inflammation. This will seldom have to be
used for a time, yet the adjustment of the condition along
the cervical through osteopathic treatment should be done,
else we will create the predisposition with those conditions
existent in the system to cause the weakness of forces to the
eye to become a constitutional condition, rather than organic
affliction.
These we would follow for just a time or until these
conditions are such as to produce the perfect elimination
throughout the whole body. Keep well in hand the powers that
be and lie dormant in this body, the correct suggestions ever
before this developing mind if we would bring or give the
best to this body's individuality. Let there be no cross
purposes with the developing of the mind force toward
things, either spiritual or physical. There must be a pure
developing of the physical for the pure developing of the
spirit and soul forces of the body to build or to have the
best within the body. Do that.
