First, we find the circulation, the blood supplying force
carrying bacilli of conditions that exist throughout the
entire system, and it shows or carries itself in the system.
This is shown especially in the lymphatics and emunctories.
The organic condition first began in the hepatic circulation
and is affected by the circulation of the blood supply
through the liver and there we have an organic condition -
deep-seated in the body itself. There has been brought to
the body many things to act over the circulation and blood
supplying forces, yet none have reached these, but have
brought to many of the muscular forces those actions that
produce inactivity or an inability to act in the body. The
nerve forces as we find have become disturbed, unstrung and
relaxed in some places, taut in others - the inability to be
controlled properly either by the circulation or by muscular
forces that control them. There is not much to be done to
this body - it is beyond repair as we see, we can only try
to keep the physical and spiritual forces to-gether. We
may keep body and soul to-gether some time if they will keep
certain things in the system. The functioning of the organs
themselves of the brain force and its action over the system
is not controlled by either centers controlling either
the voluntary or involuntary nerve forces. They exist,
as it were, without proper action over either to produce
co-ordination between the two systems. The spiritual and
physical forces are well balanced in the body. It is better
for the body not to be kept here, but the physical forces are
to carry on in the system the active forces to keep the life,
yet they are disintegrating, but we find perfect resignation
of the physical forces to the spiritual. The mental activity
to the forces throughout and in connection with others have
not been made perfect as yet. As to those things that would
give relief to the physical forces, we find that by taking
different kinds of astringents in the system with plenty
of force to carry elimination as far as possible, as of
temperature, will assist the body and keep it as near
as needs for this. If then we could carry in the system
these properties of water as given in the system - those of:
Yellow Saffron................2 parts,
Balsam of Tolu as dissolved...2 parts,
Slippery Elm..................2 parts.
This will give the ease and force to portions of the body and
become a sedative and astringents to certain portions of the
system. There are no other forces for relief, except as we
will find through the spiritual. They are set. These are
the conditions as we find in the body of [
4711] of ..., Wash.
(Q) How long do you think this body will live?
(A) If these are kept in the system with other forces of
spiritual, we will keep the body alive something like three
to six months. Of course, it depends on conditions and
circumstances that may arise, and do arise, from time to time
with this condition that exists in the spiritual force and
the needs had for forces that will co-ordinate with that
of the physical and spiritual forces in the body of [
4711].
There is no rebuilding force, no physical force to take to
the other. They are set with the spiritual forces and are
beyond the physical. It is too late. We are through.
