TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [5500], and those conditions physical and mental that surround or disturb the body.
2. In giving the causes, or that that may materially aid in bringing about a more near normal condition, the surroundings that affected the body through the period of inception and development should also be considered; for while we have a body physically APPARENTLY very good, there are those conditions in the same where the developments of the glands, through those periods of gestation and development, were lacking in the necessary elements for a normal physical development. Then there were conditions that came about in the early years of the PHYSICAL body's development, that brought TO the body those repressions from the lack OF physical elements to make normal developments. Hence the repressions that occur at periods, when there are seemingly those activities that make for an abnormal MENTAL reaction in the body. These come rather at periods, or during certain cycles of developments or ACTIVITIES of the body. These, combined with the lack of a proper development in glands, make for those conditions that are existent in NORMAL directions in the body in the present.
3. While, to be sure, those applications which have been made from time to time have aided in many ways, and there have been periods when there seemingly was better reaction and a nearer development towards normalcy physically AND mentally; yet recurrent conditions have brought about the reactions as to make for, STILL, LAXNESS in many of the functionings of a physical and MENTAL coordinating one with another.
4. In the applications that are being made in the present, much may be accomplished in this direction, could there be those of the awakening WITHIN the mental or spiritual forces as would make for the more realization of the ENTITY; not just the physical, not just the mental, but of the ENTITY'S necessity of MAKING an effort on its OWN part.
5. In this connection, as we would find, there may be added - from the physical or the material plane - that which will make for a BETTER COOPERATIVE force, leading to - or DIRECTING, as it were - this very AWAKENING that is NECESSARY in the physical, mental AND spiritual forces OF the body FOR its betterment.
6. These, as we find then, are conditions as apparent:
7. There is a lacking of elements in the glands that function in a physical body, that supply that necessary element in a living organism for the mental transportation or mental reactions of the physical body, and these are - as necessarily seen - those that will make for the changing of vibrations in the physical functioning of the system, so that - as there are responses in the mental body; that is, impressions that are received by the awakening of the active forces in a physical organism - there are the proper CONNECTIONS that will make brain impulses as for the imaginative system, as for the sensory organism, for the locomotary forces of the body, COORDINATE in their responses in the body, so that - as the body WILLS to move in its daily activities, either as to walking, talking, feeling, seeing, hearing - the RESPONSES COORDINATE to the centers that will make for a response from the sensory, or sympathetic AND sensory, system to the cerebro-SPINAL; and there will come more stamen in the activities of the body, in the limbs, in the arms, in the forces of the brain forces themselves, and in the abilities for assimilation.
8. These, we may find, may be supplied by those that will come from that as would RAISE vibrations in the system to a COORDINATING manner, or with the addition of those things being applied. Do not change those in the present, for they have their effect upon the body. Add these:
9. The Chloride of Gold with the CARBONATE of Soda, in a low electrical vibration - see? These should be charged in the low electrical vibration and given to the body at least twice each week.
10. We would also, once each week, add the low electrical vibration from a PLAIN electrical charge of Nitrate of Silver.
11. Silver and Gold, then, as metals for the body, enliven the glands of the system that are lax in their physical functioning, supplying to the brain centers even themselves THAT impulse, that incentive, as to make for PROPER PHYSICAL COORDINATION in the body here.
12. In the applications, these should be kept in an atmosphere and surroundings that are in keeping with those tenets, those lessons of the body, that are BEING taken for the SPIRITUAL awakening, as well as the material developments. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) In first telling [5500] of the reading, how should the conversation be begun to get his confidence and cooperation?
    (A) That must of necessity be that, as there IS the confidence in individuals who know the character and manner of the PRESENT applications, the present tenets, that there MAY be also added through those same channels that which, coming from the same SOURCES, may GIVE that more complete, more full, awakening of the necessary forces for the body to function normally.
14. (Q) How long should the electrical treatments be given each time?
    (A) The Gold, charged in the low electrical vibration, would be for twenty to thirty minutes at a treatment. The Silver would be from ten to twenty minutes, when given. The change in time is as this: Remember, there is truth in, "When shall the silver cord be broken, or the golden horn be empty?" The golden activity upon the system is to supply that necessary element in the glands that secrete in the system for the supplying of the assimilated forces of a developing body, and pour their fluids as from the horn into the body. Hence more is necessary. While, as of those of the silver cord that makes for that transmutation of IMPULSE from the brain to the organs of the body, SUSTAINING - as it were - that spark of life itself in a material plane.
    Here, to be sure, we are dealing with METAPHYSICAL problems, but they come both from that of material forces to the actual active forces of LIVING organisms.
15. (Q) What proportion of Gold and Silver should be used?
    (A) In charging the Gold, with the Carbonate of Soda, prepare as this: In 10 ounces of distilled water, dissolve 15 grains Chloride of Gold. In 15 ounces of distilled water, dissolve 1 ounce of Carbonate of Soda. To prepare the solution, take equal parts of Gold solution and Soda solution, and charge under the ordinary current in the wet appliance battery formation - see? for at least thirty minutes. This 110-60 cycle, and the amperage is gradually raised.
    In the applications of the anodes from the charged solution, these would be attached to the body, one in the umbilicus region - that's the first one attached, see? the other in that of the 4th and 5th DORSAL area, so that the vibrations pass through those of the cardiac, aorta artery area, as well as those of the liver, the spleen, the pancreas, and the ducts that go direct to those of the assimilating system. In that of the Silver, a 10% solution of the Nitrate - then there is added sufficient of plain water, see - in a 10% solution, which would be 1 ounce of a 10% solution - then add sufficient water to make 16 ounces. THIS is given with the anode or lead coming direct through the solution. This NOT charged, for it is of itself - with the alcohol content - one that radiates its own vibration, but carried through the same CHARACTER of vibration see?
16. (Q) How long should the Gold treatment be used before beginning the Silver?
    (A) These are both given at once. One at the period given, each week - and one once each week.
17. (Q) Not given the same days?
    (A) Not given the same days. The Silver is only once each week, while the Gold is given three times each week.
18. (Q) What is the best time of the day to give the treatment?
    (A) Evenings.
19. (Q) Is there any special person best qualified to give this treatment in N.Y.?
    (A) One that would be in sympathy WITH that attempted to be accomplished - anyone. They must be in sympathy, and not merely for rote or routine. Anyone close to the BODY would be better.
20. (Q) What mental activities should the body have, and when should these be begun?
    (A) The mental activities that are compatible with that awakening which is being attempted under that being PRESENTLY given.
21. (Q) Does that refer to Christian Science?
    (A) It refers to that as is being given in the SUGGESTIVE form to the body at the present. Christian Science - though it's presented a little bit different from what is ordinarily. This is merely an addition.
22. (Q) Where should the body live to get the best results from this information?
    (A) As has been suggested, in THAT atmosphere or surroundings that will make for a compatibility of both suggestions as are being given; for one is being given mentally, the other materially. They must be made compatible by the surroundings, to be sure.
23. (Q) Is there any other advice for the body?
    (A) Those, in applying this - will these be applied with that desire, that anxiety as IS making for an awakening, with a belief (an active belief) - these will BRING the results desired, will make FOR an atmosphere ABOUT the body that makes more the ACTIVE forces in every sense.
24. (Q) How long should these treatments be continued, or kept up?
    (A) They should be continued for periods of twenty to twenty-six days, with rest periods of ten to twenty days between such periods - and kept up until there is seen the changes that BRINGS that coordination, and the body developing normally - for it will bring results!
25. (Q) What diet?
    (A) The diet should be that which is compatible to the activities and developments of the body. As is seen, these will of necessity be ALTERED as conditions develop. The body has been - and is at times - very eccentric about the diet. This will be well to keep to those that keep a well balanced condition of proteins, iron, silicon, and the like, that ELEMENTS - metals given, especially - have a background for activities!
26. (Q) Any special exercise?
    (A) Keep in the open considerable, and as much of the sunshine and the like as is PRACTICAL.
27. (Q) Should he drive much?
    (A) This is ONE way in which to keep exercise for the body, occasionally - but these are of necessity governed BY the exercisings and the reactions as come. There are periods when it is well - there are others when it ISN'T, as is seen.
28. (Q) How often should check readings be given?
    (A) In the periods of rest, or just before the beginning of other periods of treatment, would be the better times or periods for those suggestions for changes or alterations in the physical OR mental applications to the body. We would not change those present mental applications, see? for CONFIDENCE in self is being created, which has long been lacking.
29. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. GD's note: His brothers' families had subsequent readings. Mr. [437] tried to talk Mr. [5500] into coming to Va. Beach to follow the treatment in Annie Cayce's nursing home, but he did not - and treatment was not followed.
