IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, here we find evidences of conditions as
to which the body may be termed heir apparent. That is, the
conditions as create the disorders that may bring distresses
for the body. Through that condition as of fear is there
ever created the combative element as MUST be ELIMINATED
from the system, and in the eliminating channels may the
disorders, distresses to the body, become the manifested
condition; for (we would reason now as reasonable conditions)
there are MANY channels through which eliminations are
carried on. First, in the respitory [respiratory] system.
This NOT merely the de-oxidization being thrown off through
the breath, or through the clarifications of the blood stream
as it flows to the lungs for the oxygen necessary to carry
on certain conditions within the physical body, but also
that of the whole of the exterior, or that of the lymphatic
circulation, and through the various pores of the system.
Also that in the liver, or through the alimentary canal.
THESE, at present, suffer the most - for, as seen, the blood
supply flows twice through the liver to any other portion
of the system, and in the left lobe, or the smaller lobe of
same, do we find those conditions as represent disorders,
as are affected by the splenic, and this lobe, or portion of
lobe of the liver - for the liver being both excretory and
secretive in its functioning, then acts upon the system in a
more than twofold manner. The spleen being the destructive
organ for the dead red blood corpuscles, also the organ
that works WITH - as it may be termed - the imaginative,
or the psychic forces OF the body; and the body being
super-sensitive, or super-psychic in many respects, finds
THIS portion often gives rise to not ONLY the fears, but also
those DISTRESSES as affect the VEGETATIVE nerve system. The
vegetative nerve system HERE meaning, that portion to which
the whole of the assimilating system is related to that of
the digestive and its assimilation by the body. Also that
elimination as is carried on through the opposite pole -
the kidneys. These are the channels through which the body,
unless care and attention is given, that the distresses may
arise. There are times that disorders - not disease, but
disorders - arise in system from this unbalancing, and
when these DO arise, they usually appear with that of the
disorders as come from over-acidity, or the super-activity
of the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus; for these being
regulated by the activity of the sympathetic as WELL as
cerebro-spinal, give rise to the expressions of the dullness
in head, fullness in throat, the mis-direction in the mucus
producing tissue in bronchia, nasal cavities, antrum, and
those conditions where soft tissue becomes involved. These
are merely signposts, not causes - not the reactions, even.
Rather those WARNINGS as to disorders, or distresses, as come
to the physical.
In correcting, then, the physical - the body has and does
care WELL for the physical. Not so much by properties taken
WITHIN the system as medicinal properties, but in the manner
of thought, in the manner of care for the system, in the
manner of repressions and exhilarations as are given or
taken for the system under such distresses; yet these may be
carried so far as to over balance, and would these be kept
in the nearer balance by the proper application of those
vibratory forces as may be created in the system as to REDUCE
that repression in the central nerve system, especially as
regulated to the liver and the spleen - these may be guarded
against and the better conditions come about. These may
be BEST had by the applications, as have been taken, as are
being taken at times, of the massage, of those reactions
to the exterior portion - but adding WITH same those of the
changeable lights. The ultra violet, the Infra red, those
of the Nile green, those of the orange, and so on - in their
various orders - dependent upon that condition, whether
necessary for the reaction in the liver - as to an excretory
or as a secretive functioning, or as to be made positive in
its action or to be made negative in its action. These will
keep the better conditions for this body, [
5439].
Now, in the mental forces - and as related to fear in the
system: Fear the greatest bugaboo to the human elements,
for in fear comes those conditions that destroy that vitality
of that assimilated. To OVERCOME fear, so fill the mental
forces with that of the creative nature as to cast out fear;
for he, or she, that is without fear is free indeed, and
perfect love casteth out fear. Love not that as is of the
officious nature, or that that demands in exchange. Rather
given as the free will, and MAKING the will one with that
which will enable the body mental to see, experience,
to know, to feel, that nearer and nearer the will of the
body made one with that the body worships - and let that
worshipfulness be of OTHER than of self; for MANY a body
stumbles and blinds self by putting self first and foremost.
The mental developments should be in the direction of the
directing play, writing play, writing book, writing song -
for THESE may give an OUTLET of self to MANIFEST that which
the body, the mental BEING, may hold as ideal. FIND an
ideal! Do not lose self in the individual, nor in the
self-centered interest, but rather in that that the body,
the body mental, the body spiritual, may make an ideal.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What books can the body read to help improve her talents
for writing?
(A) Tacitus, or Plato, or such - for the entity [was]
associated with Plato, and the rise and fall of same
would mean much.
(Q) Shall I write with someone else, or shall I write by
myself?
(A) Fear enters here, when the entity attempts to write
alone - but WRITE alone, and keep that NEAR self as the
IDEAL, when doing so. Be not afraid to really express those
children of the mental body as flow in, in meditation, for
these - in use - will grow and will not destroy self, will
they but be tendered by the love of the Creator, or of the
body itself.
(Q) Is the body necessary to her husband's business? Is it
advisable for her to return to the business?
(A) Would be advisable that at LEAST in the advisory
capacity the body see much MORE of same than it has recently;
but to return to same would be to smother self's own
endeavors, and self's own personality, self's own
INDIVIDUALITY would also suffer. Well were the body mental,
the body spiritual of this body, [
5439], to find the definite
answer that would answer self of that BETWEEN individuality
and personality; for one is to be seen of another, the other
is to be carried to THAT that may be its God.
(Q) Shall she make a success of writing? What is the best
way to go about it?
(A) Write, first, alone. Write in that manner as of REARING
the children of the mental being. Be not afraid of these,
for these will NOT destroy the personality - but will
CERTAINLY enlarge the INDIVIDUALITY and soul of the body.
(Q) Will the business come back successfully without the
body?
(A) With her ADVICE, would come back! With her COUNSEL,
come back!
(Q) What attitude should she take toward her husband?
(A) Not merely of duty's tolerance, but that of helpfulness;
for one is as NECESSARY to the other as is that of ANY
condition where there are two poles. REMEMBERING that, even
in the atom its polarization is necessary, or the energy
is soon expended. So, in that union of body, in the mental
being, in the physical being - for the resuscitation of life
elements - that they become as necessary for one another.
Such conditions do arise at times when these DO NOT need
to be as polarizations, but for the better, the bigger, the
BROADER, the greater DEVELOPMENT of each, these are NECESSARY
one to another.
(Q) Am I under sexed?
(A) No, NOT under sexed. Rather have the studies of the
mental being, as related to these elements in the system,
caused or brought about conditions in which the condition
in system does NOT RESPOND in some directions; yet the body
often finds in self that these DO respond UNDER certain
environs or certain conditions. Be able to control these
as well AS the body HAS in other directions!
(Q) What causes the burning sensation from chest through
throat?
(A) This, as has been given, is that attempt of the system
to adjust itself to that condition existent in spleen, and
a portion of the liver at times. The application of the
vibrations in the varied lights, as have been given, will
EQUALIZE the circulation, relieving this condition in the
central nerve system. See that these are applied in the
order named. Ultra violet for the superficial portion of
system. Infra red the second day, or third day - or one
may be taken one week, one another. The Infra red that the
central system, through the soft tissue of bone, wherein
the accumulation of red blood cells form an active influence
with the system. Of the green, that the actuation of the
sympathetic with the cerebro-spinal nervous system may be
generated in their normal order. Of those of the orange,
that there may be the separation in the system of those of
white and red blood, or of the lymphatics WITH the EMUNCTORY
reaction in the capillary.
(Q) Where would this treatment be given?
(A) Health Room Laboratories [See [
165] series, especially
165-17], or Gordon - these are both in the city. [Harold J.
Reilly, The Reilly Service, 1908 Broadway, N.Y.C.?
See 5439-1, Par. R1.]
(Q) Will the body be a success at writing?
(A) I would say, she would! Possibly not in the first
efforts, but the second and third - wonderful! We are
through for the present.
