Q. [What caused] The slow, sluggish, slightly
feverish condition, that seems to come upon me in the afternoon?
A. Lack of purposefulness in its activities; lack of looking
forward to something for the principal activities of the body!
Make the things more definite in the experience, and we find these
will be forgotten - in the exercises and in the purposefulness of
the exercise! .... Make the mental activities and the functioning
of the organs themselves coordinate, by the seeing of those activities
in the way as desired by the body. For what we build within
the mental self, the whole of the being seeks to materialize in the
physical activities. (369-13)
(Q) What means are best for me to use to discover
how I may keep the physical and mental forces in a condition which
will permit the highest development of the spiritual forces?
(A) Keep that attunement in which the body-physical, imaginative,
AND spiritual, can visualize for each part of that that DEVELOPS in
the body BEFORE the mental, spiritual and imaginative forces of the
body. Few people are able in the beginning to be as generally
imaginative as the body! Hence the body should be able, with a little
visualization of that as is DESIRED by the self, to create for itself
that atmosphere, that environ, for THAT being acted upon! This
requires the necessary knowledge of the body, of the mind, of that
as is desired by the body. Then WITH that knowledge and the
proper visualization, the UNDERSTANDING comes. Knowledge is
not power unless it is that that may be applied by the body HAVING
the knowledge - see? Then, as for the body in visualizing itself
in that that may bring about the proper coordination of eliminations
in the system, do not consider the alimentary canal as the only elimination
of the system; for almost as much is eliminated from the system through
the respiratory system (of poisons) as through the alimentary canal.
This is rather (through alimentary canal) as of the drosses, than
the poisons. Also by the eliminations of the perspiratory, or
the lymph and capillary circulation, as well as through the kidneys,
as well as through the general activities of the body. Then,
see these functioning in such a manner as to bring about that desired,
or see that taking place which is desired by the body. In circulation
(This as a vision for the body, of that which is asked concerning)
of the blood supply through throat, head and neck, passes through
those affected portions in the throat or tonsils. The BLOOD
is carried immediately from these to those portions of the system
where eliminations must take place. How often does the blood
pass through the lungs? Every time that it must be clarified,
or must receive that to create in the system that of a healing or
eliminating force, as well as its clarification through the liver
itself. The liver does not take other than that that may be
acted upon by its secretions. The lungs take that that will
act upon same to heal, and make for absorption OR elimination in its
various manners. Then, see that being accomplished, as the heart
pumps the blood THROUGH the throat, the lungs, the liver, the
heart, to the extremities, to those parts affected, and you can feel
the pulsation - see - as in this body through which the information
comes; the increase of the circulation to this may be seen to the
throat itself! (1048-3)
Hence the lessons, as has oft been given, as to
how one in one's mental being may create those conditions that bring about
just such physical results. But, even as the visions are seen, these
continue to be mingled together with both good and bad. Just as such
thoughts create and bring about such conditions. Then, desist!
Either be on the one side or the other, and act as would bring to self that
desired. (136-82)
For the body mentally, in its spiritual attributes
for the physical self, may hold much in this manner - as the applications
are made, osteopathically, electrically: Not for things to be
gotten through with, but SEE, FEEL, KNOW - as the applications are being
made - that these are channels and measures through which the divine
may operate for effective activity in this body! And as the electrical
vibrations are given, know that Life itself - to be sure - is the Creative
Force or God, yet its manifestations in man are electrical - or vibratory.
Know then that the force in nature that is called electrical or electricity
is the same force ye worship as Creative or God in action!
