TEXT

1. EC: We have the body, [5459], here. Now, we find the general physical conditions are much improve from that as we had before. While there is still evidence of specific disturbances with the physical functioning, even THESE conditions show improvement. There is seen, in the region of the 5th and 7th cervical, the form of pressure as still causes distresses to the auditory forces and functioning of the body, producing the accentuation of reflexes in this direction, and also prevents the normal reaction through the pneumogastrics, or the centers as radiate the effects of sensual reaction. Sensual here, meaning rather that of the whole of the nerve system as related to the sensory organism, or the nerve branches that radiate from the sympathetic system, and cerebro-spinal also.
2. Now, to meet the needs of the conditions with this body at the present time, we would not change materially from those suggestions as have been made respecting the applications for correction of the conditions, but rather add those of a vibratory rate or force, with that already being applied, that will enliven the normal reaction of the connecting forces between the sensory organism and the pressure as has been produced, or is produced, in the cervicals; so that these pressures or accentuations OF auditory forces, and the depressions as come from this inability of the sensual reactions may be reached. Those forces we would add would be that of the sinusoidal short wave, and we would apply same at the 4th and 5th cervical plexus, and with the 9th dorsal plexus. These will stimulate the system to the extent that the eliminations as referred to the activities necessary to carry from the system used forces, or where conditions have been disturbed - as here - the better absorption takes place in the system. We would see that, while the mental forces - as are at times disturbed through the surroundings - have much to do with the condition, yet - will the body be able to satisfy self as to the future operations or developments in the material, the social and the business relations - then give self the OPPORTUNTIY to carry ON the work of resuscitating forces, these would prove the much more satisfactory way and manner for the body to operate. Ready for questions.
3. In the application of the sinusoidal, we would not begin - even with the short lengths - for a greater period than one and a half to two minutes duration in the beginning, for these can be easily OVER stimulated, as well as UNDER stimulated, and the effect would not be the best; and give same at least three times each week, as this: Monday's, Wednesday's, Friday's - see? Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Should I return to New York on Saturday of this week and arrange to come back later? or would it be better for me to stay another week or more at Cayce Hospital?
   (A) The better conditions, as has been given, is to SATISFY self's own mental forces as to relations, business, social, and otherwise, and be EASY in taking the time - or, if the body can satisfy self under present conditions, take the two weeks now, see?
5. (Q) With the knowledge gained here, and keeping strictly to the readings' instructions, how many osteopathic treatments should I arrange to take in New York if I return?
   (A) These can be kept in a manner, but the whole of the treatments are better in a position where the body has the OPPORTUNITY to respond. These kept in the INTERIM, should the body return, will MOSTLY only assist the body in not losing ground gained.
6. (Q) Owing to not receiving word from the firm who employs me, is it fair to assume that no objection will be taken should the reading advise me to stay longer?
   (A) BEST to satisfy self as respecting these relations, just as has been given.
7. (Q) Will the elimination of meat from my diet have a weakening effect temporarily?
   (A) No. Only so far as the mental forces allow same, for there is as much VITALITY in the outline of those things the body SHOULD eat as would be with the meats, and when conditions are of the nature as has been given, MEATS aggravate, while vegetables, or characters of meats that build - that is, such as fish, shell fish, liver or fowl, these do not carry those vibrations that aid in accentuating such pressures as disturb this body - but rather give the tendency to give more strength and endurance to a physical body.
8. (Q) Please explain fully the particular vertebrae, if any, the osteopath should manipulate.
   (A) This has been given.
9. (Q) Would a surgical operation help in removing the head noise? or will the instructions as given in the reading of August 26th remove the cause?
   (A) That, aided with that as is given here, will effectually remove these disturbances, will the body but follow these AS outlined. The pressure is caused by the thickening of tissue in those regions. Hence the OSTEOPATHIC, rather than chiropractic adjustments, for with the condition becoming aggravated by IMPROPER manipulation, more inflammation may be created - but PROPERLY attended, the activities are to absorb and eliminate, and the eliminations should be kept as near nominally as related to evacuations, respirations, kidneys, breathing and perspiration from the whole body, as it is possible.
10. (Q) Do you find an improvement in the blood supply?
    (A) Improvement, as has been given, as a general nature - and assistance towards the specific conditions.
11. (Q) What can I do to overcome the doubt that I shall fully recover?
    (A) Fill the mind (but this has been given) with that of the CONSTRUCTIVE forces. Let THIS be as an ensample and example: Let that mind be in YOU as was in Him, that thought it not robbery to make Himself equal with God, in that as would be manifest in His daily life or in His daily expressions of faith in His fellow man. Even though He were buffeted and despised of men, yet there was no guile found in Him, or bitterness under His tongue. Keeping self in this accord, will bring to self that of the perfect accord between those divine energies, as only need arousing, that MANIFEST EVEN THROUGH thine own PHYSICAL body. We are through with this reading.
