The case is not yet hopeless, though it is deteriorating. (Pause. Note: not all pauses are noted.) The inner will to live must be revived. It is this inner will to live that is lacking now. At the heart of the condition, there is a series of psychological shocks that occurred.

There seems to be a male relative, I believe twice removed, perhaps an uncle, though I am not certain—a visit from him would be beneficial. (Long pause.) As an immediate step all effort should be made to remove negative suggestions, as these are building up about her. She has felt psychologically trapped for some time, this bringing about the physical trap into which she has fallen.

She has been literally wasting away, and she is at the mercy of the suggestions that she receives. This is why I stress strongly that all effort be made to achieve a more positive inner atmosphere.

A physical reversal will be the result of a spiritual change. All those surrounding the woman absolutely must refrain from attitudes of hopelessness and negative suggestions, either implied or spoken. This in itself will bring her some relief. This in itself will allow her to improve to some degree.

Now, all of this may sound impractical, and yet it represents your most practical answer. (Forceful delivery.) On your part, do not manufacture hollow, false assurances, but honestly and persistently remind yourself that the physical matter of your wife’s image is formed from and filled with universal energy. A block has been preventing her from utilizing this energy with anything like normal effectiveness.

People have not seemed to have confidence in the woman, or she does not feel that anyone is confident of her ability to cope with reality. She does not realize that she has the energy to triumph over this illness. The realization that she can is all important.

You must begin to expect that she has hope, for she reacts to all suggestions, as each individual does. Although she is unaware of it, she is telepathically conscious of all such powerfully-negative suggestions. You must try to battle these for her until she can do so again for herself. (Long pause.)

I stress again that all of these instructions contain more potent aids than you may realize, and recommend that you follow them as closely as possible. There is hope. You must both have the strength and courage to grasp it.
