The body in itself is very good. The capabilities of the
mental and spiritual are very good. The design or capacity
of the body through the spiritual is good, though the
spiritual forces within this body are not as well developed
as the possibilities and attributes within it should be.
The blood supply within the physical is not in its normal
condition at times throughout the body; it does not carry
forming bacillae, or it carries repression from the mental
and spiritual forces to the action of the physical, and at
times the repression becomes acute through the cardiac
system, producing an abnormal pressure, see? It is through
the other portions of the body, and not because the trouble
is from the cardiac plexus do we have organic heart trouble,
for the valvular force of the heart itself is normal. The
repression or expulsion through the venous circulation is
very good; the action of the heart to the arterial
circulation being defective only at times from the repression
or non-reciprocating forces, through the nerves from a mental
activity; coming from the cerebro-spinal at the plexus from
the cardiac opposite the 6th and 7th dorsal, just above the
solar plexus, becoming non-active with the sympathetic system
and at this time producing this condition, and the reflex
condition mentally. No, he is not crazy, you see, but in the
intense activity of the cerebro-spinal this condition occurs
in the brain. So that we have to reduce this to a normal
state of activity in the physical, spiritual and mental
faculties and bring them to a focus.
As to the activity of these forces they will act at times
to the fullness of the duodenum, causing a disturbance that
we have reflexly to the lower trunk portion of the body, so
that physical pain to any portion of the body acting through
subcoordination, (that is through the sub-conscious) center
themselves in any one system of the nervous forces presenting
themselves for action at that time; such as any physical pain
to any portion of the body, or if digestion is taking place
and is passing from the activity of the stomach in discomfort
and congestion. This congestion causes at times a reflex
action which gives off to the sensory nervous system pains in
the head, especially the reflex that comes to the eyes. The
action of forces as we have had them here in relation to
the head and face, has nothing to do with the forces we
are speaking of.
To correct this condition we would treat this body in itself
through the mental and spiritual forces in this body, see?
We would treat by suggestion to the body which it can take
within itself along spiritual lines. Then suggestion should
be given every third of fourth day to the lymphatic system
in the brain forces, to remove the sub-coordination and by
relaxation it will carry off through the regular channels
all repression and remove the pain.
Medicinal properties are not needed in this system; they
would act directly against this body, [
4830] we are speaking
of, see? because of the balance between the sympathetic and
the cerebro-spinal nerve supplies, these should be brought
into lateral subjugation through the mentality, by suggestion
and manipulation of the spine at the 6th and 7th dorsal,
respectively and the upper cervicals.
Any trouble would be only reflexly through the conditions
given here, as we come reflexly to the nervous energy thrown
off or given to the sensory organism, the affection becomes
acute to the cycles of nervous force in the various centers.
As this comes to the sense of taste, which is one of the
highest centers, when the person keeps to a high nervous
tension it is the tongue as much as the throat that is
affected, and the removal of one condition will relieve all.
There is long life before this body if these troubles are
removed as we have given here.
(Q) As to the upper jaw being operated on.
(A) This has nothing to do with the conditions as we have
described them here. These are being taken care of in
themselves; they have only to do with the physical body,
and not as we have treated them here. Proceed with these
conditions as there is nothing to come except to be taken
care of.
(Q) What is disturbing the mental state?
(A) The repression of the activities of this body through
the mental forces brought to bear on this body in the labors
of this body come through the repression of the attitudes of
others to this body. As to who those forces come through we
do not know as we have not the body here; but the action of
the mentality through the physical with the repression by
a preconceived idea disturbs the mental balance, and it can
only be restored by a spiritual force. The repression is by
the love force. The mental activity that this body should
take to itself is for the self to concentrate on the good
(that is the suggestion he should make to himself), for the
protection and betterment of self, and for the hope that he
must give to others. It does not mean to be self-centered,
but to give to others of his mental and spiritual force.
This is why the spiritual and mental forces are spoken of,
and which will be developed for the good of others. He
understands.
(Q) Can the antagonistic forces toward this body be
overcome?
(A) They must be overcome within the self, as we have given.
That is the body, the mental and spiritual will rise above
the antagonism by the suggestions described here and given
daily to the body, and every third day manipulation of the
body will build this up mentally and spiritually, and the
force will arise before any antagonism. Do this as we have
given it here if this body would be brought to a normal
condition, and if we would reduce the antagonism from
outside.
There is nothing detrimental within the system either by
the blood or otherwise. We must build within the self to
be above and beyond the antagonism from without.
We are through.
