TEXT OF READING 54-1 F CHILD This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at Phillips Hotel, Room 115, Dayton,

Ohio, this 5th day of February, 1924, in accordance with request made by parents. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Linden Shroyer, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. [54]''s parents and others. READING Time of Reading 11:00 A. M. ..., Ohio. (Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: Now, we find the abnormal conditions for the body at the present time are many. These, however, may be corrected, with time, attention, persistency and consistently giving that to the system that has been, and is lacking in those elements in the physical that produce perfect coordination throughout the whole physical body, that the development through the co-ordinating forces and tissue in nerve and ligaments in system may co-ordinate properly in the body. 2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [54], we are speaking of. 3. The body, first, we find in the developing stage, and the blood supply in the system is below the normal, even for the condition and the better developing of the body physically. 4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find with the lack of those constituents to create the connection or co-ordinating between the centers of the hypogastric, pneumogastric and perineurial nerve center give the body the incapacity to co-ordinate in the functioning of organs as affected by these nerve centers, for the vibration as given by brain force in the action through the white tissue of nerve supply become perverted in the circulation through these centers. When the perineurium of these centers become inflamed we have nausea, lapses into unconsciousness and the contracting more of muscular forces in extremities and along the spinal column itself. 5. FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, as to the functioning of organs themselves, through the functioning of organs, as organs, normal functioning; yet the perversion of condition and circulation in blood, and anaemitized condition of same, gives abnormal functioning in many. Correct first, however, those conditions in the system that will produce co-ordination in the body. Do not change those properties as being accorded the physical at present, but add this vibration consistently and persistently to the system. 6. To one gallon of rain water, add: Willow Charcoal...............4 ounces, copper sulphate...............1 pound, sulphuric acid C.P............1 ounce, zinc (common).................4 drams, opaque container of iodine..1/2 pound, well corked, shall be placed in solution. 7. Use the copper poles, and charge solution until it will give off at least four ohms. Attach the positive pole wire insulated with small plate that will be attached at the first cervical. To the negative pole attach wire and plate of silver or nickel, larger plate, and this would be attached to body just below and to the left of umbilicus. 8. This should be applied to body for thirty minutes each day, preferably in the evenings. When the

charge, or discharge from solution is below one ohm have this recharged, and use new solution. Preferable that this be kept in glass container and covered at all times. 9. Use this for the body. We will bring the better results. Change as developments and improvements show in the body, which should begin at least with the tenth treatment or vibration accorded. 10. Do that.

TEXT OF READING 80-1 M CHILD This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce this 26th day of October, 1922, place unknown. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Frank E. Mohr, Conductor; Court Reporter, Steno. [80] and his mother [81]. READING Time of Reading 7:00 P. M. 1. FEM: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are asleep, and all of the organs of your body will function properly. You will hear me and answer all of my questions. You have before you the body of [80] and the body is present in this room. You will give me the condition of the kidneys, gall duct, liver, stomach, and nervous forces; and also give me the cause of any abnormal conditions in this body, and the remedy that will restore all of the organs of this body to normal action and health, and the length of time necessary for a permanent cure, if that is possible. 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the abnormal conditions we find to be corrected in this body to make the development of all of the physical and soul forces correct in this body have to do with two lesions that have formed in this body, one being that near the ganglion governed by the solar plexus center, and the other one at the head or close to the base of the brain forces; so that the action of the pneumogastric nerve force is impaired at times, and brings about or produces in its reaction to the forces those flow of blood to the head and the overaction of the nerve forces over the whole system. This we find is the condition in this body that needs to be corrected. Now, these are the conditions as we find in this body: The blood force in the system does not carry all of the potential factors in its building in the system. It has become rather lax in its activity on account of the impoverished condition that has been brought about by the diet that has been given to the body at times for the condition existing in the system. See? FEM: Yes, sir. 3. The action of the nerve forces we have between the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic nervous system, and reaction caused from the condition that is produced in the body along in the region of the solar plexus or the ganglion near the solar plexus center, and the pneumogastric nerve to the head, which becomes engorged or enlarged at times in the body. The brain itself in its development is very good. 4. The nervous forces over the whole system act clearly so far as reaction to the brain forces is

concerned, you see? FEM: Yes, sir. 5. The action of all the organs in their functioning themselves, as we take of the liver, is good, except when it is necessary to increase the excretory forces from the amount of nerve energy as supplied to the system to give off to the portion of the body those necessary where we have reflexes produced from the condition as exists from the pneumogastric, the same as we have through the action of the kidneys with these in the system. They only produce a reflex from the hepatic circulation as caused by the same condition, see? FEM: Yes. 6. To relieve or to bring about a normal condition to this body, we would give that into the system which would apparently impoverish, as it were, the conditions so that we would produce an equilibrium in the system, see? FEM: Yes. 7. We would make a weak tea of the maypop, see? FEM: Yes. 8. And then we would give in quantities to this body a teaspoonful three times each day, see? FEM: Yes. 9. At evenings we would give salt, common table salt, 20 grains. FEM: Yes. 10. So we will change the action of the salines through the blood supplying forces, and supply to the nerve centers a different incentive to the action, and remove by manipulation, osteopathic forces, the lesion at the first cervical, see? FEM: Yes. 11. And at the eighth and ninth dorsal. We would do that. 12. (Q) Mr. Cayce, was this body born with the trouble with his eyes, or did it come upon him after birth? (A) [EC repeating the question in undertone: Mr. Cayce, was this body born with the trouble with his eyes, or did it come upon him after birth?] The condition as we have given here has produced it when he was born here. The lesion as is formed to the first cervical, you see, then is reflexed to the whole end of the pneumogastric; so the effect is over the nervous system to these, you see? 13. (Q) Yes. Is it his eye trouble that causes his nervousness? (A) [EC: Is it his eye trouble that causes his nervousness?] The conditions as we have given here, the lesion at the pneumogastric, you see, center at the eighth and ninth dorsal, and the lesion we find at the first cervical causes the condition of the nerve energy to be overtaxed at times, you see? FEM: Yes. Changing the supply of blood forces, and causes repression and pressure to the eye forces all along

the cervicals, you see? FEM: Yes. But principally at the lesion we have as described at the first cervical. We remove the condition in the nerve forces and in the blood supply to replenish the nerve energy, see? FEM: Yes. Through the stomach, and through the medicinal properties as we have given, and effect their removal by manipulation, see? FEM: Yes. In adjustments, see? FEM: I see. But by deep manipulations and removing these lesions, we will find that this body in its development will be restored to the normal condition for this body. 14. (Q) Mr. Cayce, what osteopathic doctor would you recommend for this body? (A) [EC: Mr. Cayce, what osteopathic doctor would you recommend for this body?] We have one here. Use these. 15. (Q) Would you care to name the one that you think would be best for this body here? (A) [EC: Would you care to name the one that you think would be best for this body here?] I do not get it. We have one here. 16. (Q) Mr. Cayce would properly fitted eyeglasses help this body at this time? (A) [EC: Mr. Cayce, would properly fitted eyeglasses help this body at this time?] Only adjustment to and by the conditions as we have given would assist this body to regain its perfect equilibrium. Adjusted glasses would only relieve some of the pain that is caused to, the body at times, but would overtax it at others, see? 17. (Q) Yes. You would not advise glasses, then? (A) [EC: You would not advise glasses, then?] We do not advise. We have given the condition. Do as we have given. 18. (Q) Mr. Cayce, with the osteopath treatment, will we improve the condition of his eyes? (A) [EC: Mr. Cayce, with the osteopath treatment, will we improve the condition of his eyes?] Just as we have given these to adjust this body for its full development, you see. That includes his eyes, and the whole portion of his body. Do that. We are through. 19. Now, Mr. Cayce, you will forget all about this reading you have given. You are feeling alright, and all of the organs of your body will function properly. You are feeling splendid. Now wake up in one minute, feeling fine and alright, and absolutely free from headache.

PRESENT Edgar Cayce; (?), Conductor; (?), Steno. READING Time of Reading 8:00 P. M. ..., Alabama. (Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. Now we find the general conditions in this body are improved greatly from that we had before, while we do not have the perfect coordination direct, or the perfect control of some of the nerves and muscles to some of the organs of the sensory system on account of the lesion physical as we find about the first and second cervical, those governing the flow of nutriment of nerve and blood from body to head through the nerve channels or bases themselves. This lesion must be removed as well as have been altogether, almost, the ones along the upper dorsal region. 2. We would apply the heat with the osteopathic massage to this body, see, that preferably of the alternating character, once of vapor heat, then the direct or strong electric heat and the massage at the time will give the better effect to the body and will respond and remain in response to the treatments for the whole physical body. Beware of the incorrect diet for the body with its developing stages through the cycle of puberty, see, so that the developing of all of the functional nerve centers may be well in outline with the conditions throughout the system. Do that, see. 3. (Q) Mr. Cayce, how would this heat be applied? (A) We have just given that - first, with the vapor heat, next with the dry direct rays, see. 4. (Q) How is the vapor heat given? (A) Applied to the body along the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical - vapor from Aqua Pura (Water). 5. (Q) What do you mean by dry direct rays, Mr. Cayce? (A) We mean dry direct rays from high power voltage light, electrical heat. Do as we have given if we would bring the correct forces to this body. 6. We are through.

TEXT OF READING 80-4 M CHILD This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 3rd day of April, 1928, in accordance with request made by his mother, Mrs. [81]. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. L. B. Cayce. READING Time of Reading 5:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Alabama. 1. GC: You will answer the questions which I shall ask you regarding this body. 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see.

3. Many changes have come about in the physical forces of this body. Much improvement is seen in the general physical conditions. Ready for questions. 4. (Q) Was [80]'s eye condition caused by prenatal influence? If so, what and how can they be remedied? (A) This condition, while showing already much improvement, was caused - not so much by prenatal influence (as commonly understood), yet from many conditions as may be regarded as prenatal conditions. The correction of this condition may not be wholly corrected, or brought to absolute normal condition, but the continuation of the exercises as have been outlined recently for this body will continue to strengthen the condition, so that there will not be so much of the reaction in improper way and manner. Much may be gained by this inhalation and exhalation, and by the full comprehension of that innate force within self that may build that desired by the body, in that inner conscious way and manner; for this is the builder from within, see? 5. (Q) Are there any points of pressure on the spine, or have such conditions been relieved? (A) Most of the pressures along the spinal centers have been relieved. The coordinating of all muscular reaction has not been completed. The active forces of Radio-Active Appliance would assist the body in correcting this condition. Well that the plain or ordinary appliance be attached to the body, the positive anode at the brachial plexus and the negative at the wrist. This will add materially to the proper vibratory forces for the body. Attach when the body lies down to rest, and let remain until the body awakes - then remove, see? This may be alternated by attaching the negative to the wrist and the positive to the base of the brain, or at first cervical, so that the vibratory forces as set up act direct with that active force in the nerve and brain centers from the place at base of brain, see? 6. (Q) What causes [80] to continually move his head when reading? (A) Improper coordination, and that we are attempting to bring about in proper way and manner, which is being accomplished through suggestion given, and will be aided MATERIALLY by the vibratory forces as set up in the Radio-Active Appliance. 7. (Q) As to diet, have the changes made therein brought to him all the food elements necessary? If not, what should be added? (A) The diet is VERY good, and shows in the physical abilities, as the exercising of the body has accomplished with and under that diet. We would not change from same, as is seen at present. 8. (Q) What, if anything, should be added to the particular work which is being done for his eyes? (A) We would not change from those being given, save that of the vibratory forces as outlined. 9. (Q) Can anything else be done to prevent a return of that nervous trouble? (A) The continuation of those suggestions and that added vibration that will prevent the reoccurrence of the pressure on those centers in the upper cervical region. 10. (Q) Any further suggestions for the improvement of this body? (A) Follow out those as given, for persistence must be the keynote with the bringing about of proper coordination with this body, and CONSISTENT with same. 11. We are through for the present.

TEXT OF READING 146-1 M 13 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach,

Va., this 23rd day of October, 1930, in accordance with request made by his parents, Mr. [1170] and Mrs. [959], who later had rdgs. themselves. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. READING 3:20 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Pa. (Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [146]. Nice looking boy! [GD's note: We later saw him. He WAS nice looking; could not tell from appearance anything wrong.] 2. Now, we find, while the body is very good in many respects, the body development, the mental development, and the coordinations in some respects are at times very good, there has existed a pressure in the body from the time of presentation - for there was a breach presentation, and in the turn there was made a pressure, which has an effect at periods upon the coordination of impulses and activities. These, as we find, should have closed in action, and been only from the sensory reactions along cerebro-spinal centers, but in the ends of the cerebro-spinal we also have those connections or vibratory forces set up in system that produce that which causes the activities to become so over accentuated as to cause, in the development of the body, the loss of equilibrium which is the cause of at times the crying, the temper, the sitting down hard - which is an attempt of the body to ADJUST itself; for these centers, which should be closed, radiate from the first sacral centers, so that at times - when there have been activities along the spine - there has been, as it were, a delayed activity in these reactions, when these were allowed to begin in their normalcy again oft they began to re-occur in this incoordinating manner. Now, coordination of the digestive system acts at times with same; so, FOLLOWING same, nausea at times occurs, as do headaches, dullness of vision - not of mind, but vision, and thickness of speech. In the coordinating of the blood supplies of body, these are good. In the coordinating of the system as related to eliminations - for lungs, heart's action, liver, spleen, kidneys - all show a normalcy, as does the blood count show negative. 3. In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions for this body - while it will require some time, and some persistency AND consistency - these, as we find, applied in a PROPER manner, will bring a normalcy; first in the reduction and in the change of this INACTIVITY, or rather OVERACTIVITY - not INCOORDINATION in this case, but the RESULT is incoordination - not incoordination producing same. This, we find, will be brought to a normalcy. 4. First we would prepare as this: These, as we find, are to be taken internally - consistently - for two to three months, or moons - that is, periods of twenty-eight days of each. Then we would give changes as would be necessary. 5. First prepare fourteen capsules - three grains each - of plain iodide salt, see? One to be taken every other evening, as the body is ready to retire. That this will produce an overactivity of the kidneys will not INJURE; neither will it produce improper FUNCTIONING of same, but will make for a STABILIZING of that vital force necessary in the organs of genitation, as development begins, to relieve that pressure as comes toward the pineal center - which is the center of attraction that causes the disorder. 6. When these have been taken - which will be twenty-eight days, see - take twenty-eight doses of the Mayblossom Bitters. This will have REDUCED conditions but will NOT have cured; only PREPARING the body for those applications or vibrations that we may then GIVE the body for the full and complete corrections. The Mayblossom Bitters should be made in the order as given,

in JUST the Bitters [as in 1001-10 on 9/24/30] - but an ADDITION to same will be two ounces of the Tincture of Ginseng, see? This, with those conditions as will have been created by the calcium chloride, or salt, will have brought about that which - by the first of the year, or following the Christmas holidays - we will give the further corrections. Ready for questions. 7. (Q) What should be the dosage of the Mayblossom Bitters? (A) Teaspoonful. 8. (Q) Once a day? (A) Twice each day. 9. (Q) Before or after meals? (A) Upon rising and before retiring. Before eating the day meals, and after they are finished - see? 10. (Q) Should the salt be given for twenty-eight doses before the Mayblossom Bitters is begun? (A) The salt is to be given FOURTEEN doses in twenty-eight days. Every other day. Then, after these have been given - THEN we begin with the twenty-eight doses of the Mayblossom Bitters, see? 11. (Q) Should all medicines now being given be stopped? (A) That must of necessity be determined by those under whom the body is in charge, for these are felt at times to be necessary - but let's get as far away as possible from these sedatives, which are producing pressures that must injure, and get BACK to a normalcy! 12. (Q) Should the luminal be discontinued altogether? (A) Gradually. 13. (Q) Why does he not talk? (A) This is that pressure that we are removing! as is given as respecting how this has affected, from the beginning, the SENSORY organism. The sensory organism - let's describe this, so you will understand here: The sensory organism meaning the eyes, the ears, the sense of smell, the sense of speech, the sense of touch and their coordinating centers, are the gradual development of the imaginative and the SYMPATHETIC system of nerves in body coordinating with centers in the cerebro-spinal, that register in the brain. The sense of speech is the highest developed vibration in an organism, for it partakes of the vision, the hearing, the feeling, and ALL to combine same. Hence these are ACTIVE from those coordinating forces of the other sensory centers, which range from sympathetic system to the cerebro-spinal and register impulse in brain. As given here, brain forces are good with the body, as is the bodily development, as is the vision, as is the hearing, as is the sense of touch; for the body may be termed OVER sympathetic. In the vibratory forces as come from those centers on each side of the plexus opposite the first of the sacral plexus, these produce that drawing to the back of head or neck, in the 2nd dorsal, 3rd and 4th cervical, as prevents same from producing other than a not FULL vibration, see? Hence the backwardness in the talk, the tendency to grunt and indicate with hands, eyes, feet, or body, rather than ATTEMPT to try full expression, for fear of producing an over vibratory force in body. Follow these and we will get it properly! 14. (Q) Can this treatment be given successfully at Rosehill School? (A) Just give the doses of medicine! and then, when it becomes time we will change it! 15. We are through for the present.

PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Annie Cayce and L. B. Cayce. READING Time of Reading 3:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Pa. (Ck. Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Some improvements are seen in the general physical forces of the body, and the changes or alterations in that to be accomplished in the body should be brought about. While the conditions under the present surroundings are being well taken care of from many viewpoints, would these changes as may be suggested be carried out then the same surroundings would be well - but the more ideal, and the better for the body itself, would be to have one in attendance in the capacity of the teacher or the instructor, and close to the mother or one upon whom the body can be more dependent; for in such conditions as are to be wrought, where coordinations are to be brought about, that parental love is necessary - for the mind is the builder, whether in the material, the social, mental or spiritual. 2. In the changes now, we would give - as an aid to the nervous forces of the body - those properties of the Mayblossom Bitters - teaspoonful at least twice each day. 3. We would be mindful also of the diet. Keep those that are nerve and muscle building, not so that the body through its glands becomes over abundant in growth physically - but a well balanced diet. 4. In the specific centers where the repressions to the body have existed, these we find in the LUMBAR plexus - also in the upper dorsal and throughout the cervical regions. These, with osteopathic manipulations AND adjustments - at least twice to three times each week - will make for the better coordination in the speech, in the use of the body in its whole activity, and will gradually build for a BETTERED condition throughout the whole of the body. 5. We would do this now, for the next thirty to sixty days. We should see the DECIDED changes in at least eighteen to twenty-eight days. Ready for questions. 6. (Q) State definitely where treatment could be given most successfully. (A) As has been outlined, if these changes may be accomplished under the present surroundings well there. The BETTER will be closer to, under the observation and care of, one that gives more of the maternal love. 7. (Q) Are his teeth alright? What makes his gums red and swollen at times? (A) The poor circulation as goes through this portion of the body. These, with the changes as outlined, will be aided - and local applications of salt would be well, even if the gums are only massaged occasionally with same, see? or a saline solution. 8. (Q) How long before beginning to show marked improvement, following these treatments, and he begins to talk? (A) This hasn't changed from that we have just given! Eighteen to twenty-eight days will show marked improvement. 9. (Q) When can he be taught to dress himself?

(A) When there is more coordination through the mental forces from relief of the pressures in lumbar and sacral regions, especially. Do this as we have outlined. We are through with this reading. Two copies to parents Copy to Ass'n office " " Research Department " " Cayce Hospital

TEXT OF READING 146-3 M 13 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 23rd day of February, 1931, in accordance with request made by his mother Mrs. - [959]. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [959] and her son [146], and brother-in-law, Mr. [...] and L. B. Cayce. READING Time of Reading 3:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Va. (Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [146] - this we have had before. Now, we find there is considerable improvement in the general physical conditions of the body. Those conditions as relate to the proper coordinations through the system, and the effects that reflexes have upon the physical organism, ALL show improvements. 2. We find there should be, at least for the time being, the continued reactions of those osteopathic manipulative forces, as well as the general conditions in system. Some alterations may be made as respecting the administering of the manipulations. Not that those in the lumbar and sacral are to be any the less active in the manner in which the corrections and administrations are given, but some particular attention in a gentle nature may be given those centers from which the sensory system receives impulses - through the central nervous force from the upper dorsal and cervical to the forces of the sensory centers, as to the vocal box, auditory nerve centers, eye and ear, and nasal centers - so that, as the coordinations are made more and more in accord with normalcy, the reactions will become nearer and nearer normal. 3. As has been given in the first, there was the decided change in the first period of change. There has been a more decided change in the second period. There will now be seen the faster reaction through THIS period. While it apparently may seem that the changes are slow, let each that applies those corrective measures, those that watch with the anxiety for the recuperative forces to establish themselves, be not over hasty in the administering, nor over anxious; knowing that there IS the continued growth towards the normalcy. Ready for questions. 4. (Q) Is it necessary or advisable to continue the Mayblossom Bitters? If so, how long? (A) Until we have created through the system the lack of a nerve reaction, when the body is erect in its walking or MOVING state. The CUSHIONS, or the centers in the lumbar and sacral, have been so sensitized by those conditions that have so long existed, as to prevent a normal reaction in the erect state for the body, see? This will aid impulses, and will PREVENT the re-occurrence as the conditions are made physically, or locally, nearer normal. It may be necessary that some two or three more quantities be taken. This will depend entirely upon the DEVELOPMENTS as conditions progress. It would be well that there be periods when this is left off for a day, or a

period; then see the reactions as come to the system; for as the strength in walking, as the development in the mental, as the reactions in any developing period - these are ACTIVE BY the USE of NORMALCY, see? 5. (Q) Will the jerking or throwing back of head ever return or get worse than it is at present? (A) Dependent upon whether corrections are made that produce same or not. If these are allowed to remain, even as at PRESENT, there may be the possibility - with over exertion in any form or character that these WOULD return; or there is the possibility - WITHOUT any of the accidents as the bodies are heir to - of becoming more and more normal, and they would never re-occur - see? These are possibilities. Now, the CONDITION to be met - is to make it as near normal as possible through the cerebro-spinal centers, and ESPECIALLY through centers where the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal make physical connections, see? Hence, as is given where changes may be made in the manipulative forces - that is, where the centers in the cerebro-spinal system, in the upper portion - Now these are not to be made without RESPECT to that administration in the lumbar and sacral, but in the upper dorsal and through the cervical, where the auditory centers are associated with, and make direct connection to, those of the sympathetic. That means we take such centers as come through the face, the chin, the neck, the head - FOLLOW them from their central points in the capillary and lymph circulation to their center, or ganglia from which they receive their impulse in the cerebro-spinal system. Point of chin, in the eye region - just above the eyes. In the head region, just above the ears. In the 1st and 2nd cervical region and the area that runs to the exterior, or the maxillary centers. ALL of these, we see, are as of the superficial - yet they have their effect, where there have been impingements. Awaken those centers that act directly with all of the organs in the equilibrium of the body to the ear drums themselves, along the Eustachian tubes - which would be well to be massaged; not INTERNALLY - as breaking up a lesion - but feed the impulses, so that - when hearing (as the body does) - the mouth will not remain so much open, nor will there be those same reactions as come from incoordination with superficial and central nerves. These will be particularly from the 3rd and 4th dorsal area to the full 1st and 2nd cervical area. These should be dealt with GENTLY; not DEEP manipulations as in the lumbar and the lower dorsal. 6. (Q) How often should the osteopathic treatments be given now? (A) The deep manipulations - as in the lumbar and sacral area, or lower dorsal - at least once each week. Those of the gentle, or those of the superficials, at least once each week. Then, at least twice each week there should be the osteopathic adjustments and manipulations. It doesn't mean so much the DEEP, or the STRENGTH put forward, as it does the SINCERITY and the mechanical ability that is exercised by the manipulator or applicant, or the one giving such. Let these be in accord; for, as has oft been given, better that a half treatment be had with the proper person, or the proper relationships, than one of a more violent nature without knowing how or why, or the reason. There must be the proper cooperation between one administering and one administered to. As there must be to save a soul from perdition, the desire on the part of one that would feed or give that aid, and the one who would receive same. The body of [146] is such a one that is WILLING. Will those administering be in the same accord? 7. (Q) Is Dr. Crews [Gena L. Crews, D.O.] strong enough to give him the right treatment? (A) Strong enough, and efficient - when in sympathy with that given. 8. (Q) From which will he receive the greater benefits in shortest time, Dr. Crews or Dr. McCrary [B. J. McCrary, D.O.]? (A) That's unfair! because it would depend upon the individuals themselves, and the manner in which they administer! 9. (Q) Will his speech come gradually, or will it come by rigid training only?

(A) It will come gradually, but there should be as much of the EFFORT to have the body USE same as possible; but let it be made as EASY as possible, by not making too much of a strain on the auditory and SENSORY system as a whole. 10. (Q) How long before speech will come? (A) We will see decided changes to the betterment of same in the next series of treatments. 11. (Q) Shall he be returned to Rosehill School? If so, when? If not, where should he go? (A) The home training is much better than Rosehill, or ANY institution - for the mother interest, mother love, is much more helpful than ALL institutional interest. 12. (Q) Can he ever be taught a trade? (A) He will take it up himself, naturally! Watch him, as developments come! 13. (Q) Some words he has never been able to form, others are plain. (A) These are gradually developing - those of the M, N, or those that are of the lip movement. Now, those as of the R, Aw, or such that make for a deeper vibration, are from the lack of the muscular forces in the vocal box itself. This normal looking, but those of the auxiliary nerve centers to same, as come from the auxiliary centers to the hypogastric and to the cardiac plexus centers - these coming from the 1st and 2nd dorsal area to the sympathetic system, in the 3rd and 4th CERVICAL area - are the ones to be stimulated; as the maxillary centers, in head, throat and neck. Not deep; GENTLY but don't do it too quickly! Take TIME to do it! 14. (Q) He is now 13 years of age physically. How old is he mentally? (A) 13 years. The USE of same, or the activities of same are just DORMANT. Nothing ABNORMAL, other than the USE of same. 15. (Q) What causes the tantrums? Is it the result of not being able to make himself understood? or is it merely to gain his point or have his way? (A) There are both factors in the conditions, and here patience, persistence and care should be taken. Do not BREAK the will! but we will find that the gentle urging - POSITIVE, but not BRUTAL force in ANY way - would be of aid. 16. (Q) Could hypnotism be used in his case? (A) It might be used, but be MINDFUL of who would use same! 17. (Q) If you can, will you locate one? (A) Charlie Daniel! [Charles L. Daniel, Hopkinsville, Ky.] 18. (Q) Would auto-suggestion be helpful? (A) Most beneficial. This can be given best by mother. 19. (Q) Please give form of suggestion. (A) That as is desired to be awakened. Work WITH one applying the manipulative forces in this, but appeal ALWAYS to the INNER being that being awakened in this formative period of the development of the body, mentally and physically. This may be as a form, but should be put in the words of the individual making such suggestions. As the body sinks into slumber: May the self, the ego, awaken to its possibilities, its RESPONSIBILITIES, that, as I speak to you, in the normal waking state you will respond in that same loving, careful manner this is given you. See? 20. (Q) How long should this line of treatment be given before changes, or check reading? (A) For another period. At least twenty-seven days. 21. (Q) Would you advise mother to locate at Virginia Beach temporarily with the body?

(A) Be very well. 22. (Q) Would it be well for body to attend Miss Barclay's school? [Miss Lillian S. Barclay, 40016th St., Va. Beach] (A) Be excellent. 23. (Q) Any other advice regarding this body at present? (A) As has been given, much might be said as respecting the abilities that lie within the scope of this body's development. Let those who would wait, those who minister with, those who minister for the healing of THIS body - in its gaining of its coordination, in the gaining of its rightful position in the affairs and among peoples know that they labor WITH the Lord, those who look to Him for aid; for in Him IS the life and the light, the understanding and the healing MUST come from within. We are through with this reading.

TEXT OF READING 146-4 M 13 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 23rd day of March, 1931, in accordance with request made by his mother Mrs. - [959]. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [959] and her son [146], also her brother-in-law. READING Time of Reading 3:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Va. (Ck. Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: We have the body and those conditions respecting same, [146], present in this room - this we have had before. 2. Now, we find conditions are still on the improve. While there has not been as quick response in the applications, as has been or might be expected, still - with the manner, with the changes, and with the conditions - there is more improvement than is apparent externally, and - as conditions develop, as the body develops, as changes are brought about - unless there arise other conditions or outside influences - we will see that the conditions will continue to improve. 3. We would keep those properties that will aid in the abating of stresses in the nerve system, that give the nerve energy that is necessary. 4. Keep the mental and physical body active, and in the open as much as possible - especially as the weather and the changes come about - that the body may be in the open. 5. Rest from the manipulative forces in the present for at least fifty-six days. Then we would have another THOROUGH course of these, and following the line or manner of correction in the cerebro-spinal system that may be GIVEN then. Ready for questions. 6. (Q) Have the osteopathic treatments been given correctly during the last period? (A) These have been very good; not as accurate in the following of the suggestions as might have been, but very, very, good. We would discontinue these in the present. No more for fifty-six days see?

7. (Q) If we rest until autumn (A) (Interrupting) Now fifty-six days has been given! Don't say autumn when fifty-six days is a long way from autumn! for there are changes that take place in the system, especially as reactions set in; for with the mental being kept busy, with the physical being kept active, with the giving of those properties as are and have been suggested for the keeping of the nerve forces in the body in accord, THEN we will find that in the fifty-six days there will be the NECESSITY - for the BETTERMENT - Of course it may be left until fall, or it may be left for a year, but for the BETTERMENT of the conditions some corrections will be necessary from the reactions that will have been started. These will need to be in the system where the changes come about, see? We wouldn't give those now. We would give those then, because there will be changes. 8. (Q) Shall we continue Bitters, and how long? (A) Continue Bitters until it's time to stop! We will tell when it's time to stop! Keep those until it's ready to make changes! 9. (Q) When resumed, will it be as well to give [osteopathic] treatments in Media? [Media, Pa., with Elisha T. Kirk, D.O.] (A) If they will follow the lines as will be outlined for the treatments, sure! 10. (Q) During this next period, would it be better for him to be in school or at home? (A) In SCHOOL, because keep the mind - as well as the body - in activity, see? 11. (Q) Would it be well to extract one tooth, on the right upper jaw, or will it adjust itself? (A) It will come in place itself, but should have some assistance see? 12. (Q) Why does he pick at the thumb on his right hand? (A) For the pressures in those brachial centers make for that tendency as of an itching, or of a NERVE reaction there. 13. (Q) To what extent has the jerking improved in the last period? (A) This is considerable, and will be seen to be MORE as the reactions take place, and as those of the nerve reactions - or of the Bitters - are taken. 14. (Q) Any further advice for this body? (A) Just do that, at the present. Fifty-six days. Then we would change. 15. (Q) Along what lines should his mind be kept active? (A) Constructive! 16. We are through with this reading.

TEXT OF READING 146-5 M 13 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 19th day of May, 1931, in accordance with request made by his mother - Mrs. [959].

L. B. Cayce & Gertrude Tubby. READING Time of Reading 10:40 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Pa. (Ck. Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [146] - this we have had before. We find conditions are continuing on the improve. While there is apparently not the decided change in some directions as might be expected, if the condition as was first outlined will be considered - and the DEVELOPMENTS are in a manner a growth - there IS a betterment and a change for the nearer correction of the condition; and, as we find, there will be brought about ALMOST perfect NORMALCY for the body. 2. We WOULD apply THESE as changes in the present conditions: Those of the muscular forces and nerve centers in the cerebro-spinal system, especially in the lower cervical and upper dorsal, need that relaxation that will ENABLE the coordination between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal system as related to the sensory system. While we find the organs are in a manner responding, it will be necessary that the manipulations be so given in relaxing the body that the noises as will COME to the organ of hearing may not be so STARTLING, or so derogatory to the system as to hinder rather than aid in the response of those in the vocal forces; that is, keep an even balance, especially in the manipulations that will relax the nerve centers and muscular forces about same, in the 3rd and the 4th dorsal, in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th cervical; only OCCASIONALLY that is, every other treatment that may be given - relax the body through the lower dorsal and the lumbar, THEN a GENERAL treatment at such time. 3. We would keep those of the diet, the exercises in the open, those of the properties that will assist the system in its nerve reaction from the glands as SUPPLY nutriment or life-giving forces to the system. Ready for questions. 4. (Q) How often should osteopathic treatments be given? (A) About twice each week, and we would give at least twenty-six treatments, then we would rest a time - that the body may NOT be OVER strained or overtaxed in same. 5. (Q) How long will it be before he can be successfully treated at home? (A) This, to be sure, would depend much upon the RESPONSES as are seen in system. As WE find, by the time the second COURSE of treatments are ready the body could be successfully treated at home, SHOULD the improvement be as GOOD as it has been in the past. 6. (Q) Is it for us to know how long it will be before [146] will be able to attend public school? (A) He should be by the time the next session begins in Fall! 7. (Q) If we are forced to bring him home for financial reasons, will the other children antagonize him, or what will be the results? (A) That will depend, to be sure, on the RESPONSES as the body makes; for, as we find, as there is created in the system the nearer coordination between sympathetic and cerebrospinal nervous forces, and their reflections, the more the body will attempt to USE the organs of the sensory system HIMSELF, and this will make for a READY response to those conditions around same, and other children - unless of a teasing or taunting nature - WOULD really be helpful to the body. 8. (Q) Shall we continue Mayblossom Bitters? (A) As given, this would be well to continue - for it acts WITH the nervous system in building stamina in the nerve reflex. 9. (Q) What noticeable improvements have been made since last reading?

(A) The attempts of the body to use the organs himself, both as to listening - or the auditory - and as to the speech itself. 10. (Q) Any other suggestions at this time? (A) We would keep that as is outlined here, and we will find that by the MIDDLE of the course of manipulations and treatments there will be a more decided response in the body. We are through with this reading. 11. (Q) [Asked at end of 2253-2 same date, 10:55 A.M.] Regarding the body [146], in this same school, how long before he should have another reading? (A) As has been outlined, there should be a period of the manipulations or corrections to make responses more active in the body, [146], see? When these, or the COMPLETION of this series would be well then to know that reaction as is necessary for a continuation. Copy to Mrs. [959] Two copies to Mrs. A. M.

TEXT OF READING 146-6 M 13 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 105th St. & Ocean, Virginia Beach, Va., this 1st day of September, 1931, in accordance with request made by his mother, Mrs. [959]. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. L. B. Cayce. READING Time of Reading 3:10 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Pa. (Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [146] - this we have had before. 2. (Q) What physical improvements have been made since last reading? (A) The general physical conditions of the body show improvements throughout. While there has seemingly been rather a turn, or tendency for the body not to respond in WORDS as much as at other periods, this is rather from the tendency to respond to old inclinations, and UNDER - or when environmental forces are changed, and with the applications as will be given, these - we will find - will make even more improvement. In the matter of posture, this shows improvement. In the matter of coordination, this also shows improvements. There is a better tendency, also, for the activities of the mental body and the physical body to coordinate, as will be seen by the giving of definite tasks for the body to accomplish that require reasoning in a consecutive order or manner. A tendency for a regular activity. THESE are the matter of physical improvements as we find in the body. 3. (Q) What mental improvements have been made in this period? (A) A better coordination with the physical! 4. (Q) Is he more alert than he was three months ago? (A) More alert, except at sullen periods. 5. (Q) Is reflex action improved in this period?

(A) Not as fast as it has in some others, but faster - or more than it has in some times BEFORE this. 6. (Q) Have osteopathic treatments been given correctly, and with sympathy and faith? (A) These have been given rather with wonderment, but they have been given very well - and with the proper precautions as to the activities of the physical and mental body. There SHOULD be, with the giving of these, more of the tendency to get an oral response to the various applications to the body functioning - see? that is, as the treatments or the administrations are made in various portions of the body, get the responses FROM the body, [146], as to what, how, where the responses are in the system. This may be done! 7. (Q) How often should they be given? (A) At least twice each week. 8. (Q) Specify centers where manipulations will bring best results. (A) In the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical, in the 3rd and 4th dorsal, and in the 4th lumbar areas. 9. (Q) Is it necessary or best to continue Mayblossom Bitters? If so, what dosage? (A) Would be better to continue at given or specific periods. We would give three doses of a half a teaspoonful each, each day for five days - then rest two days - then give it again for five days, see? Preferably give this AFTER the meals. 10. (Q) Has he made the improvements in this period that were expected in [Par.] 6-A of last reading? (A) Not altogether, but the responses are VERY SURE. 11. (Q) Why wasn't there the improvement as expected? (A) Why are some days cloudy and some days sunny? These are the activities, or the responses as the body makes to the various conditions as they come and go. Be not over anxious. Be VERY sure, with patience and with fortitude necessary to meet all conditions. 12. (Q) Is he ready for public school? (A) In the half season, we would say, he would be. Not in the beginning of same. Best that he remain in this same environ [Rosehill School, Chester Heights, Pa.] for at least the next three to four months. 13. (Q) Is he any nearer saying new words than at last reading? (A) To be sure! 14. (Q) Is there anything else we can do to get him to talk? (A) Follow the lines as have been suggested from time to time, and as suggested here - the best response may be had NOW, under the changes being made, from the one making or applying the manipulations [Dr. Elisha T. Kirk, D.O.]. Then we will find a better or more ready response in change of environs. 15. (Q) Would it be best for him to be at Rosehill School during the next period or at home? (A) As has been given. This change in the suggestion would be, from the necessity of the MENTAL coordination, the necessity of the applications made physically to be cooperative with the application of the [osteopathic] manipulations, and COORDINATION of physical conditions in body. 16. (Q) Are his teeth alright? (A) Some show that impaction, imbedding, needs to be attended to. 17. (Q) Would a hypnotist be able to hypnotize [146]?

(A) Would be able. Would not be well under the EXISTENT conditions. 18. (Q) How long before he should have another check reading? (A) In sixty to ninety days. 19. (Q) What other suggestions do you have for the betterment of this body? (A) These we would do, as have been outlined. 20. That is all the questions regarding this body. 21.

TEXT OF READING 146-7 M 14 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 105th St. & Ocean, Va. Beach, Va., this 9th day of December, 1931, in accordance with request made by his mother - Mrs. [959], Active Member of Ass''n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. READING Time of Reading 11:55 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Pa. (Ck. Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [146], - this we have had before. While apparently there has not been as much improvement in the physical forces of the body as might have been expected, from that as has been given, yet WE find there are MANY improvements in the physical forces of the body. While the tendencies are still not to be talkative, yet whenever there are those activities or HAPPENINGS about the body that are different, in which the body becomes particularly interested, there is more attention, there is more attempt to find or give self-expression. This shows well. Also the greater portion of the treatments, manipulations that have been given, are well. While the period of rest is now, we would begin with these again for at least one other period, see, through the changes as are coming, especially in or for the adolescence - or the changes as come about for the activities that may be brought about, by the applications that are being made for the development of the organs in the change, and that counsel, that experience of the association with individual [Elisha T. Kirk, D.O.] that may advise, may counsel, may talk with, may reason with, even though apparently not much is NEEDED at times, will make for the better and greater developments in and for the body. 2. We would when necessary keep up the Bitters that will aid, especially, in these nerve changes that come about in this system, or body, in these changes. The general condition is on the improve! Ready for questions. 3. (Q) Is his understanding clearer than three months ago? (A) MUCH clearer, as has been indicated. Much more is being gained by the body in subconscious forces, in its real activities of the inner self, than IS apparent at times; but when there are

CHANGES that particularly interest the body, there's much more attempt to give expression to self than there was some months ago. In the next three to four months we would find there should be changes in the surroundings, even, of the body, for the betterment, for the better association and better activities of the body. See? 4. (Q) If treatments were discontinued at this time, would he cease to improve? (A) We would have the period of rest now, for two to three weeks - that is, of SO MUCH of the treatments - but we would have another series of treatments - see? 5. (Q) Has response by the body been as marked as answer to Ques. #12 in last reading would indicate? (A) This has been outlined; while there is not as much outward appearance as MIGHT have been indicated, yet the general conditions and the improvements are SO marked that these may be seen to be on the improve for DEFINITE, PERMANENT, relief for the body! 6. (Q) How are the teeth? (A) These show, from their position and their activities, that these need some local attention - but as a whole, very good. 7. (Q) Have impaction and imbedding cleared any? (A) To some extent. These should be more attended to. 8. (Q) Is there any decay? (A) It has been indicated that these are very good in this respect. More particular attention needs to be given the impaction. 9. (Q) Is there any change in teaching, environment or treatment, that will induce him to talk? (A) Those things that will be of interest to the body, and these should be hunted out in the teaching, or the training, will enable him - or will give rise to the attempt to EXPRESS self more! This has been indicated. 10. (Q) Has any change, due to period of adolescence, taken place or begun? (A) As indicated, it would be well that this be followed very closely BY the one MAKING the applications, or adjustments. This can BEST be determined, as to when the change - of course, there is changing taking place, but - as to when and what EFFECT it is having upon the system, BY the one MAKING the adjustments, or making the treatments see? These, then, may be best AIDED BY such an one, through the conversation, through the activities, through that as may be applied. Do that. 11. (Q) In the first reading information came that his trouble started before birth, "for there was a breach presentation and in the turn was made a pressure, etc." State definitely just how long before actual birth that this turn took place? [See 146-1.] (A) Two to three hours. 12. (Q) When should there be another check reading? (A) When the conditions indicate that advice or counsel, or changes, are necessary to be made or met at that time. Three to four months. 13. (Q) How should this individual body be cared for during the adolescent age? (A) This has been indicated, over and over again. 14. We are through for the present.

TEXT OF READING 146-8 M 14 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Va. Beach, Va., this 15th day of June, 1932, in accordance with request made by his mother - Mrs. [959], Active Member of the Ass''n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mildred Davis. READING Time of Reading 11:20 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Pa. (Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions that surround the body. This we have had before. Now, we find there are changes in the physical forces of the body. Some may be said to be on the improve. Others, while outward appearance would indicate at times even a retardment - but the bases of that which may be applied for the body are on the improve. While there will be stages when there will be apparent retroreactive forces; that is, there will appear to be more severe tendency to jerk, to have spasmodic reactions in the first portion of these changes yet the whole condition, and the reactions that will come to the sensory system, in the abilities to make for better coordination and cooperative forces in the system with the sensory and cerebrospinal system, will result from same. 2. These are the conditions, then, as we find at this time, [146] we are speaking of: 3. There is the tendency for the connections in the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic system to show some inflammation, making a fullness in the upper dorsal and cervical regions - even to where there shows, or will show periods when there is tautness in this particular region, and a tendency first of white about the lips, head, ears, then even showing a discoloration - purple or blue. These should not be alarming; while they must necessarily be to some, but these are from pressures that will be changed in the system. 4. The abilities to make for coordinations are gradually being improved. There is more response in the body, and there will be the greater ability for the body to use the faculties of the sensory system. More response will come in the auditory forces, more abilities for coordination of speech. There is better understanding, or better ability to CORRELATE, to remember to CARRY ON the activities of the system. 5. We would, then, keep those vibrations that have been given in the appliance for extremities Radio-Active. 6. We would also use, instead of the osteopathic adjustments in the present (while these RadioActive and magnetic forces are to be given), the electrical]y driven vibrator along the cerebrospinal system when the body is ready to retire in the evening - see? We would apply especially from the 11th and 12th dorsal to the base of the brain, taking at least ten to fifteen minutes to give the treatment, making a SPECIFIC treatment in the upper dorsal and lower portion of the cervical region. This will make the body rest better. While there will be periods when there will be crying out in the evenings, but this may be quieted by speaking to and laying the hands on the body, especially at the base of brain and on the neck. 7. We would give each day, between the hours of eleven-thirty and twelve, the magnetic treatment; placing the right hand on the 3rd and 4th dorsal center (this the lower portion, and part of the cardiac plexus), and the left hand across the lower portion of the LIVER and caecum area - see?

The left hand may be moved in a ROTARY motion over that portion of the body, while the right hand would be kept still. This should be applied directly to the BODY itself, and should be from twenty-five to forty-five minutes each day. 8. Be mindful that the diet is well balanced, and watch that there is little or no regurgitation or belching from the foods that are given with such treatments. These would be the manner of diet we would give in the present, or while these applications are being made: 9. Mornings - citrus fruit juices, preferably oranges, grapefruit, lemon. Even those taken preserved or canned, for these will be well for the body. Follow this with the scrambled or boiled yolk of egg, with dry toast, a little milk or cereal drink. 10. Noons - preferably a green vegetable salad, alternated with fruit juices - or followed with fruit juices, or nut and fruit salads and the like, with a little milk - not too strong nor too rich, but that which will make for a balancing of the diet, that is replenishing and rebuilding. 11. Evenings - well cooked vegetables, and occasionally broiled chicken or that prepared without grease, mutton or the like. Fish may be given occasionally. Not any heavy, or other character of meats. 12. In this way and manner we will find we will bring about much bettered conditions for this body, [146]. Be patient; be mindful that there is plenty of outdoor exercise, but not during the middle of the day. 13. Ready for questions. 14. (Q) Did the trip home help [146]? (A) Changed the outlook, and beneficial to the body. 15. (Q) Is it best for him to remain in Mrs. Pope's care, or should he be home? (A) For the time, we would keep in Mrs. Pope's care. 16. (Q) Should osteopathic treatments be continued this summer? (A) We would discontinue the osteopathic treatments and use the electrically driven vibrator each evening. 17. (Q) Should he have Mayblossom Bitters? If so, how? (A) Leave these off for the present, unless the attacks become VERY severe. These, as we understand, as has been given, will apparently come at periods, and there will be some nausea - but these will pass away in eight to ten days. 18. (Q) In giving the magnetic treatments, how many times should meditation be repeated? (A) Until there is at least the well set idea in the mind of the one applying same, and the body itself. Well to have the body repeat WITH - This may be brought about - saying in so many words! 19. (Q) Will stiff, clumsy attitude ever leave this body? (A) It will! 20. (Q) How may this end be helped? (A) Do as we are giving. 21. (Q) Teachers in Rosehill School thought [146] had slight attacks of epilepsy once in Feb. and once in March. Please tell me if it was any form of epilepsy, or if he has ever had any form of epilepsy.

(A) Not TRUE epilepsy. Rather that of impairment, and impingements, in the cerebro-spinal system, that is affected by those conditions from the cardiac plexus and in the caecum area, that may be aided most (that is, since these have been loosened - not before) by the magnetic treatments. 22. (Q) Has his reasoning power improved in past two months? (A) Improved. His abilities to retain, his abilities to concentrate. 23. (Q) Are there improvements in the body that are not visible? (A) As has been given, the basis and the general conditions are on the improve. Keep these up. Be faithful. Be consistent. Be persistent. 24. (Q) Why does he pick at the skin on one thumb? (A) Nervousness, and following the examples of some that he has seen about him. These should disappear; not by scolding about same, but giving him something else to do instead! 25. (Q) Why does he "slump" when sitting in chair? (A) The pressure on the cerebro-spinal makes for those conditions that make it EASIER on the spinal column itself. These will gradually be aided by the vibrations, and those from the electrically driven forces, as well as the activities from the muscular forces, as the applications outlined are made. 26. (Q) Has he made any more effort to talk? (A) Occasionally. 27. (Q) Any further advice for this body? (A) Do as we have outlined. 28. We are through with this reading.

Beach, Va., this 13th day of September, 1933, in accordance with request made by his mother - Mrs. [959], Active Member of the Ass''n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. L. B. Cayce. READING Time of Reading 3:25 to 3:35 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Pa. (Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: We have the body, [146]; this we have had before. 2. As we find, the conditions are greatly improved in this body from that we have had before.

While there are still some hindrances in the general make-up of the body's functioning normally through the sensory activities of the body, these show - as we find - considerable improvements in EVERY way and manner. And the nerve ends, where there has formerly been the smooth reaction - or lacking in the supply to the organs of the vocal forces and the impulses through the sensory system, these are beginning to be more active. 3. As to the applications in the present, we find that it would be the more helpful to continue with the suggestions. And we find that these would be more effective if the electrically driven vibrator is used at the five forty-five meditation (5:45 P.M.), for fifteen minutes, over those centers from the 4th dorsal area to the base of the brain; running it along both sides of the spine, first one side and then the other, and over those centers directly, see? Also run it over the neck and the deeper portions in the front part of neck, and to the upper portion of the area under the glands of the throat also; using the bulb applicator (that is, the little ball - see?), and going deeper and deeper gradually as the body is able to stand same. This will enable the body to respond to vibrations that are set up. 4. During the period of meditation have the body (during the meditation and treatment period) to continue as much as possible in sounding ar - r - r - r - r - r - see? [Chant.] 5. Do this. Ready for questions. 6. (Q) What steps should be taken next for his better development? (A) Those that we have outlined, in the application of those things that will make the ability for the forces in the body to respond. 7. (Q) Any other advice? (A) We would not change any from that which as we have given regarding the surroundings, but be positive and sure about the applications of the electrically driven vibrator AT THIS PERIOD, see? fifteen minutes; five forty-five (5:45) in the evening. We are through for the present. Copy to Mrs. [959] " " Mrs. Pope " " Ass'n file

TEXT OF READING 146-10 M 18 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 1st day of July, 1935, in accordance with request made by the mother - Mrs. [959], Active Member of the Ass''n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [959] and Hugh Lynn Cayce. READING Time of Reading 11:15 to 11:35 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Pa. 1. GC: You will have before you the entity known as [146], who is at Rosehill School, Chester Heights, Penn. You will give an analysis of the spiritual and mental factors which are influencing the physical condition of this entity and explain how his will may be aroused to cooperate with those attempting to help him. Explain in detail the psychological and basic soul development

causes of his physical condition, and give specific directions for meeting the mental and spiritual needs in relation to the physical experience. 2. EC: Yes, we have the entity, [146]; this in part we have had before. 3. As to those conditions in the physical forces of the body, these - as we find - show many changes from that when we had same heretofore. In the main these show improvements. 4. There is a more normal reaction in the physical body, yet the coordinating of the sensory forces, as related to the activity of the organs of the vocal box, has not been brought about. The vocal cords do not respond to the activities in a physical manner. 5. In the analyses of the entity's development through the earthly sojourns, here we may find much that may be of help to those that were in the associations of the entity during a sojourn in the earth's activity. 6. Through no cause of the entity's physical self, but in meeting or to meet the needs or requirements of those in the environs where the entity's activity was at the period, it became necessary for the entity's activities or abilities in these directions to be hindered or brought to naught. This IMPOSED upon the entity that which made for the entity's inability in the present, through those conditions as the entity imposed or had imposed upon others. 7. Hence we find a condition in the present which may be termed a MENTAL inhibition. This is not the indication of a physical-mental derangement; rather an INHIBITION that has made for the uncontrolling of the emotions. 8. Then, it is of the mental-emotional body that these conditions are being met, as it were, under a karmic influence in the present. 9. Since much has BEEN accomplished in the physical coordination in the body, we find that these conditions may be the more materially aided in the present by inhibiting the mental forces through psychopathic or hypnotic impressions - to arouse the MENTAL FORCES to the natural resistances in the body. 10. For, as we find, while these conditions are under such a period that these may make for the greater activity in these directions, this - as we would find - would bring the better reactions NOW, or under the present conditions. 11. This should be done by those, then, who may ENABLE the body to give the greater expression of its OWN WILL influence upon the activities of the coordinating forces between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal IMPULSE reflection in the vocal activities of the body. 12. As we find, it would only require some eight to ten such treatments to induce the body - so long as it is in the PHYSICAL health as in the present - to overcome the condition. 13. Ready for questions. 14. (Q) Can the hypnotic suggestions be given by those in charge now? (A) This, as we find, may be super-imposed by the spiritual reactions, but there is needed as much of the MENTAL and PHYSICAL reaction as the spiritual IMPORT upon the body. If such suggestions were made continuously as the body loses itself in sleep, it would require somewhat a longer manner or way; but may be done by those in charge.

15. (Q) What hypnotist would you suggest as being the correct one to give the treatments to this body? (A) As we find, such an one as Taylor - Chas. Taylor, New York - 54th St. - 57th - 54 St., as we find, is the address [Charles Francis Taylor Analytic Psychologist, 44 W. 57, NYC]; or Daniel [Charles L. Daniel, Hopkinsville, Ky.] or such as that. 16. (Q) If the decision is for those in charge to give the suggestions, just what suggestion should be given? (A) That there would be, through the very vital forces of self, the raising of that vibration necessary for making coordinations in the activities of the responses in speech; THROUGH the powers of the spiritual activity in the body, in HIS name! 17. (Q) If the hypnotist is decided on, how often should the treatments be given, and how long? (A) About every day for the first three or four days; then it may be every other day for the rest of the time. Ten to twelve such treatments should eliminate the greater cause of the conditions. 18. (Q) How long should the body be kept in the hypnotic state for treatment? (A) From an hour to two hours. 19. (Q) Would the hypnotist be able to arouse the will to speak? (A) To overcome that inhibition that is caused by the motivative activity in the impulsive forces of the body itself; yes. 20. (Q) What should be the suggestion to be given by the hypnotist? (A) This is to be very powerful and strong. Various ones use different formulas. 21. (Q) Any other suggestions for the body at this time? (A) We would keep the spiritual imports in the activities of the body, to make for a balancing in the mental and the physical activities. 22. Do that. 23. We are through for the present.

Time of Reading At his home, 3:15 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.C. (Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find there are conditions as cause distress with the physical forces of this body, that - corrected - may bring and develop with the body those conditions in the physical that will bring about the near normal conditions. These, as we find, will have to do with the creating of proper coordination in the physical functioning, so that the developments of the body and the body functioning - as related to the various organs, glands, and the activity of sympathetic and cerebro-spinal system - will bring the proper relationships one to another in the physical functioning. 2. These, then, be the conditions as we find them with this body, [161] we are speaking of. 3. The coordination between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal nerve energies, and the activities of the lymph circulation with that of the capillaries, brings those abnormal reactions as are seen in the functioning of the body toward the normalcy. These conditions, as we find, are produced from those incoordination of centers as are related to the circulatory system, as affecting that assimilated and that distribution of that as BRINGS the resuscitating forces to the body. Being, then, affected through the glands in the system as related to that division, for with the pressure in the pituitary body - as well as that through the lyden, GOVERNING this relationship of the sympathetic system with the coordinating of the cerebro-spinal, the INACTIVITIES of the body as TO the coordinating centers become distorted in THEIR activity. 4. In the functioning of the ORGANS as related TO these, their development physical are as of a normal impulse THROUGH the variations as are accorded same through the existent conditions. Hence that as is seen of the NECESSITY to bring the activities of that assimilated in its physical functioning to its proper relationships to that as assimilated FOR, see? That sounds confusing here, to some. In this: That in the system there is seen that, as each portion of that assimilated must act in the functioning as it is needed in the system, see? As is seen from the manner in which DIGESTION takes place with the body. That at times which will be easily assimilated, at another disagrees entirely and will NOT act with the system at all. This produced by the inability of the coordination of those centers that bring about that plasm within the digestive system as needs be, for the digestive fluids to act in the right capacity, see? Same as is seen again in that of normalcy as rest physical for the body, wherein that NORMALCY is - with fatigue of the body - to sleep, or rest in the conscious forces or those of the active forces' consciousness, or active consciousness to become - through the act of rest - RESUSCITATED by that builded up. The taking the rest makes for the body to become restless and inactive, through those conditions in the system. 5. Then, in meeting the needs - we will find it will be NECESSARY to ofttimes CHANGE those applications as be made to bring about a normalcy for the body. 6. FIRST we would begin with those of the vibrations of a low form of electrical forces as will be applied to same through that of the wet appliance, which will carry into the system those of the gold solution - as will give stability to the nerves' reaction; these being applied - the positive to the base of the brain, while that of the negative - that CARRYING solution - (This will necessarily be of the PLAIN character) - carrying the charge to the umbilicus, see? 7. At the same period there should be given into the system those of the properties that will aid in the ASSIMILATION of that taken; which will be adding these of Milk of Bismuth, to which small quantities of Essence of Pepsin is added - one drop to the teaspoonful, see? The dose would be the teaspoonful about twice each day. This to act with the ASSIMILATING system, and the creating of the energies as are necessary for the PROPER assimilation, as will the vibratory forces add to

the stabilizing of the coordinating energies within the system; carrying the MANIPULATIONS WITH same, that there may be those of the proper distribution of energy; and the SANDS, and the salt, and the SUN - or the sun baths - will be the better for that of the capillary and lymphatic circulation, through the coordination of the pulsations as act through the aorta artery - as the rest of the system. Ready for questions. 8. (Q) What is the cause, and what is the remedy, of the loss of normal talking; his left side paralysis; and inability to walk? (A) This has just been described, in the condition of the incoordination within the system, and these of the whole condition as exists between the sympathetic and the cerebro-spinal, see? and the remedy, use these as given in the first, in the beginning of this, of the adding to that within, the stabilizing of the nerve energy itself, or that within the FLUID itself, of the STABILIZATION of impulse, see? as is being builded by the application of this TO the system. These coming through these portions of the system, STABILIZES the equalization - as comes through the lyden gland, as acts with the brain centers - which will produce the coordination between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal - the impulse as is seen through the sensory system, see? 9. (Q) What can be done to cure his asthma and rapid, painful, breathing? (A) We are doing all of that here, if we will apply these conditions! for the manipulation is to raise these portions where the pressures are produced, see? so that the DRAINAGES come off from the system in their proper relationships one to another. This removes the strain as is caused in this region - the manipulation - raising of the lungs to produce for same drainage IN the system. 10. (Q) Was he a normal child when born; and how long will it be before he is cured and brought to a normal condition? (A) This will depend entirely upon the RESPONSE of the body to the applications that will be made, but these are started on the correct basis - if they will begin with these as have been outlined here. NORMAL at birth, dependent upon what is called - or the BEGINNING of the normalcy, for this would have much to do with other conditions, see? The activities in that of the union of forces that bring about the development of forces. It is of the physical, NOT of those of prenatal - of influences from the father or the mother, see? 11. (Q) Should he be circumcised? (A) ALL boys should be. 12. (Q) Are his tonsils in bad condition and what should be done with them? (A) Let's don't do anything! We will get to those later on! Let's get the circulation and the vibratory forces of the system in their proper relationships one to another. While these need local attention, yet we would find that with the change of conditions in the system this will change all of those relationships of the organs, as well as of the glands through which each one functions. 13. (Q) Dr. Funkhouse of Atlanta, eleven years ago, made fluid injections into the fontanel of the baby's head. Were any brain cells destroyed so as to cause permanently any loss of function in voice, walking, or side paralysis? (A) The pressure as produced by the air, as well as of fluid itself, has its portions in the condition existent - but with the use of the properties as we have given here. We make OVER almost a brain action - for we can overcome these conditions, if we will DO as we have given. 14. (Q) Dr. Sharpe of N.Y., about eight years ago, operated on the right temple of the head and removed a watery sack, did this cause any permanent injury? (A) No. 15. (Q) What treatments can be given so that he can talk like normal children? (A) Begin as we have given, and we will get to that later on.

16. (Q) Would it be well to take the body to Cayce Hospital for treatment? (A) Only those treatments may be given there, as yet - see? for these are in their building there, and are only ADMINISTERED at this place at present. 17. (Q) How long at a time should the battery be applied? (A) In the beginning, or until there is the opportunity for the reaction, thirty minutes each day. This would preferably be given when the body is PREPARED for rest. See the variations now in these activities? As the body is PREPARED for rest, so that after TAKING same the body may rest near normal, see? 18. (Q) How often the manipulations? (A) In the beginning they should be every day. 19. (Q) Any special diet? (A) That that is building for blood, for nerve energy. Just as much as will be assimilated by the body, see? but keep it in a more of the ACTIVITY. 20. (Q) Can he be brought to be a normal child? (A) Almost entirely normal! Take time, but we can bring it almost to entirely normal. 21. (Q) Is there any trouble with the bone in the left foot? (A) Covering in the bone is - This is more from a blood condition than of the bone, as yet. These we will reach as we change the vibratory forces in the circulation to the extremities. Don't worry about that just yet. 22. (Q) What is the cause of the convulsive tremors that come over his body frequently? (A) Incoordination, as it was given in the beginning here. 23.

TEXT OF READING 161-5 M 11 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 2nd day of August, 1930, in accordance with request made by his parents. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. [161]''s parents. READING Time of Reading Cayce Hospital, 12:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Virginia Beach, Va. 1. GC: You will have before you [161], in the Cayce Hospital, 105th St., Virginia Beach, Va., his parents and their enquiring minds, present in this room, the doctors and nurses in charge of the hospital, and all the surroundings of the body. You will answer the questions we will ask you regarding these.

2. EC: We have the body, [161], this we have had before. Also the enquiring minds of the parents and the Conditions as surround the body, [161]. 3. In the conditions as surround the body, in the body physical we find - as has been given - there are the possibilities of there being created, with the proper attention and the proper accentuation of physical conditions existent, with the addition of vibratory forces as may change the physical conditions existent, for the betterment. Ready for questions. 4. (Q) Is it true, as Dr. Lydic says, that the body cannot receive any benefit at Cayce Hospital? (A) If the applications are made in that manner, in that attitude, without the expecting of results, without the desiring of showing results, then it cannot receive, under that environment, any good. 5. (Q) Are treatments being given in accordance with the readings, and in cooperation? (A) They have not been given in the manner outlined, nor in cooperation with that as has been given. 6. (Q) Can treatments be given at home? If so, what treatments and how given? (A) These may be given in part, as has been outlined. This may be determined by the building or the using of those battery applications in the home, and by the manipulations as may add TO the nerve forces of system in a manner as to enliven and change the conditions in the physical forces of the body. 7. (Q) What kind of battery should be used? (A) That as has been outlined for the body, as may be builded in this manner: In the preparation there should be that of a container of glass, or crock, that would hold at least two gallons of rain water. Put IN same a gallon and a half of rain water. In this put: Copper Sulphate..............1 1/2 lbs., Sulphuric Acid C.P...............1 ounce, Common Zinc......................3 drams. Prepare then two poles that would extend into solution. These may be made one-half inch wide, one-eighth inch thick, sixteen inches long; one of copper, the other of nickel. They may be round, or they may be flat. If round, they may be of the nature of a quarter, or half, or larger. These projecting through the wood cover for the container, would be of a very FLEXIBLE wire, for this solution, as is seen, charges itself. To that of the copper pole attach the copper wire; that is, covered wire, flexible. To the end of this make an anode or plate that is attached to the end, so it may be attached to the body, see? This plate, or anode, of thin sheet copper. To the other pole we would attach another wire, which would be made longer. In the middle we would make a flexible, or lead lead, that may be bended to go through a SOLUTION, as has been OUTLINED in the first information; two characters of solution. Hence we would make two leads from these, and to the end of the metal or lead wire attach another flexible wire, with an anode of a LARGER diameter of German silver, or of nickel - thin sheet nickel, that may be attached to the body, see? These would be given in the manner as has been outlined, see? When this solution has been used for twenty-six days, then it may be remade again, using the same APPLIANCES but CHANGING the solution. This may be made and used in the home. This, with the manipulations and massage, and care, will GIVE as the SAME - and the BETTER - under the supervision OF those seeking to give that benefit to the body as may accrue from the use of these applications in the body. Do that. 8. (Q) Is Virginia Beach the proper climate for his asthmatic condition? (A) Virginia Beach is a good climate for ANY condition, provided there are set up the proper vibrations. A HIGHER altitude, or home, is a BETTER, in the PRESENT conditions.

9. (Q) If it is decided by the parents to put him in an institution, which one and where would be best - considering that he is physically AND mentally deficient? (A) As we find, Still-Hildreth of Macon, Missouri - these are considerate of both characters of conditions. 10. (Q) Where would be a suitable place near home? (A) We do not find one that accords in the same manner; though the treatments, as we find, may be given in the home. These are even better than in an institution, where these may NOT be applied for, as WE find, the hope comes from the manipulation, as well as the battery appliance. In the Still-Hildreth the conditions will be considered from the purely mechanical conditions; that is, of the manipulations and those of the scientific applications for such conditions; but in the home would be the more accurate, and the better condition for the whole of the applications. 11. (Q) If the present nurse leaves, where could the parents find another? (A) Under different circumstances, under different surroundings, we do not find the present nurse leaving. 12. (Q) Who could give the manipulations? (A) The nurse may give them very good, and by the DIRECTIONS as may be given from time to time will aid materially in the assistance of the benefits for the body, [161]. 13. (Q) Is there any advice for the parents that will help or aid them under existing conditions? (A) Give that as has been outlined, and - as we find - with patience, persistence, and consistency throughout, on the part of those seeking to be of aid, good - and benefits - will come from same. We are through for the present. Copy to Parents " " Ass'n office

TEXT OF READING 251-1 M CHILD This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 27th day of January, 1933, in accordance with the request made by father, Mr. [...], new Active Member of the Ass''n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Miss Esther Wynne. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Father of [251], L. B. Cayce, Mildred Davis, Esther and Verlie Wynne. READING Time of Reading 11:30 to 11:55 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Va. (Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [251] and those conditions physically that disturb the body. 2. While there are many disturbing conditions, the body is eased in the reactions at the present time. 3. As we find, there are specific conditions that disturb the body. These are aided by, or in the present a result of, a combination of disorders; for in times back - or fourteen months back - there was an injury to the spine, in those centers that are affecting - and do affect - the activity of the eliminations from the system, especially that related to the caecum and to the colon area.

4. Then, with a tendency already existent of a strangulation in the area - from pressure produced in the LUMBAR area at presentation or birth of the body, there has been made an adhesion in the area; so that - when there is a filling up or a dilation in the caecum and ascending colon - there is a COLDNESS that exists, which interferes with the coordination between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal nerve reactions in the lower portion of the cerebrospinal system. 5. This brings about those spasmodic conditions that produce to the whole system an improper reaction, as to make for the disorder that is existent. See? 6. As to the activities of this (that is, the incoordination): The pressure exists specifically in the 8th and 9th dorsal area, and acts upon the draining or relieving of the pressure in the lower portion of jejunum and in the first portion or caecum area of the colon. This may be found by holding the hand (when warm, of course) over the caecum area, and SEE the difference in the temperature of that particular area from the lack of circulation. 7. The condition in the dorsal area may be found by FINDING the alignment in the cerebro-spinal area, and the effects are seen in the nervous system of the body. 8. With the conditions allowed to become near normal from the present attack, and the system's eliminations increased as to rid the system of the poisons or congestions from the sedatives that reduce the flow of secretions from the organs of the system (and these established to a near normal activity), we would then RELIEVE those pressures in the cerebro-spinal system; the dorsal and the lumbar area, COORDINATING the same with the cervical and the activities to the brain forces. 9. We would give small doses of Bismuth, or Milk of Bismuth, to cleanse the system and STIMULATE the activities of the nerve forces from the dorsal area disturbed to the congested area; and we will bring a normal condition for the body. 10. There will be at first some recurrent conditions, or attacks, unless the body is kept in an excess of eliminations through the alimentary canal; but these will be found to be less severe - and in six to ten weeks the body should be rid entirely of that which causes or produces the disturbances. 11. Ready for questions. 12. (Q) How is best way to make these corrections? Osteopathically? (A) Necessarily, ADJUSTMENTS must be made - but these must COORDINATE with the properties taken in the system to PRODUCE the proper functioning of the membranes in the digestive and eliminating system. To be sure, they should be done osteopathically. 13. (Q) What doses of Bismuth should be given, or Milk of Bismuth? (A) This should be given certainly not until after there is some recuperation from the PRESENT condition, see - but the dosage would be a teaspoonful three times each day. If necessary, use enemas to relieve the pressure in the colon. The diet, to be sure, must be that EASILY assimilated - but must be well-balanced, that the strength, vitality and virility of the system is kept in normal development; for the body, to be sure, is in the DEVELOPING stages. 14. (Q) Please outline a diet as it should be. (A) In the present there should be given strained oatmeal, with beef tea or juice, dry milk, and that which will act with the kidneys in THEIR proper eliminations - or those properties that will be carried in the JUICES of vegetables rather than too much of the BULK, at first.

15. (Q) Should the osteopathic treatments begin right away? (A) In the next twenty-four hours anyway, as soon as there begins those reactions from the sedatives that are apparent at present. 16. (Q) How can he be relieved at the present? (A) He's RELIEVED at the present. With the CONGESTIONS that come back, from the recurrent conditions - which will be in the next twelve to twenty-four hours, then we would begin with the REMOVING of the pressure in the sacrum, in the dorsal, and ESPECIALLY in the lumbar area as indicated. But, the CONGESTIONS that come - or contractions - are seen in the cervical, and caecum, and lower portion of the dorsal and lumbar area. 17. (Q) Have the doctors' treatments been of any benefit to the child? (A) They have been of benefit for the immediate condition, but not for permanent relief. They have rather hindered than aided. 18. (Q) How did the accident referred to occur? (A) From the child leaning far back when someone was holding it in the arms! and if the body is held in about that position it will be seen as to where the condition occurs - 8th and 9th dorsal area! 19. (Q) Any spiritual advice to the parents? (A) Keep in that attitude that there is and may be done that which will bring coordination in the physical, the mental and spiritual being of this body; and there IS being that aid given through the application of that outlined to bring the best conditions for the body. 20. (Q) Which osteopath in Norfolk would be the best to treat this body? (A) Richardson! [Martyn L. Richardson, D.O.] 21. (Q) How long should these treatments be given, and how often? (A) As will be seen, it will be necessary to follow this rather by how EASILY the adjustments are made - and as to how well the system cleanses itself from those STRAINS it HAS undergone, and that it must for a time still undergo until those strangulations are removed - that are produced by the congestion in those centers, of pulling up on the sides, see? for they are as strangulations. As to the number of treatments, this will depend upon how READILY the body responds - and how the BUILDING is required. This may be followed best by the one giving the treatments. If necessary, treatments should be given EVERY day - until the body is relieved - which would require a lesser period; than they may be made farther and farther apart - which would cover a period of some thirty to sixty days. See? 22. (Q) Any further advice regarding this body, or to the parents? (A) Be mindful that these are followed in the manner that has been outlined, for the better conditions for this body, [251]. 23. We are through for the present.

TEXT OF READING 281-4 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office in Pinewood, on Lake Drive, Va. Beach, Va., this 10th day of March, 1932, in accordance with request made by those present. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Minnie Barrett, Esther Wynne, Florence and Edith Edmonds, F. M. Freeman, F. Y. Morrow, Mildred Davis, H. L. and L. B. Cayce. READING Time of Reading 3:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. 1. GC: You will have before you the healing group gathered here, who seek guidance in carrying on Thy work. You will please answer the questions which they will ask. 2. EC: Yes, we have the group, healing group, as a group, as individuals, as gathered here. In seeking, let each know much has been accomplished in the minds, the hearts, and the lives of others through their concerted effort, as well as that contentment as must come from doing His biddings. Ready for questions. 3. (Q) [69]: Are my meditations bringing results? If not, please help me to accomplish this desire. (A) As given, the meditations are bringing results to others, to self. Keep that consciousness that in Him all things are done well. That that is not understood - trust; knowing that there will come the understanding as the awakening to the various laws of love that constitute life in its essence and development through the physical, material, mental and spiritual planes. 4. (Q) When one is working out a karma, is it right to try to help that one? (A) This may be answered, even as was that "Who sinned, this man or his parents? That the works of God might be manifest before you!" When there are karmic conditions in the experience of an individual, that as designates those that have the Christ-like spirit is not only in praying for them, holding meditation for them, but aiding, helping, in every manner that the works of God may be manifest in their lives, and EVERY meditation or prayer: THY WILL, O GOD, BE DONE IN THAT BODY AS THOU SEEST BEST. WOULD THAT THIS CUP MIGHT PASS FROM ME, NOT MY WILL BUT THINE BE DONE! 5. (Q) How do we know when to help an individual? (A) Do with thy might what thine hands, hearts, minds, souls, find to do, leaving the increase, the benefits, in HIS hands, who is the Giver of all good and perfect gifts. Be not faint hearted because, as thou seest, that is not accomplished in the moment. What is eternity to a single experience? "No good thought shall return to me empty handed." Believest thou? Then thou knowest, then, that that as is given out MUST return full measure. 6. (Q) Have I any physical error that would hinder my helping others? (A) None; for he that hath the will to do, he that purposes in his heart to do, may accomplish even to that as He seeth fit. 7. (Q) In a vision I saw a loaf of whole wheat bread. One end was cut off so that the cells in the bread were very prominent. A great light shone from within the bread, illuminating every cell and reflecting a very large aura, which entirely surrounded the bread. Please interpret. (A) This emblematical, as understood; stands for the essence of life itself in its cell force, showing forth in its activity that of the radiant life of Him who gave, "I AM the bread of life; he that eateth me shall NOT hunger," and, as is visioned, that each makes for its own radiation that combined in

one gives that full illumined life that BRINGS understanding, and retains and builds, and gives TRULY - the life everlasting. See? 8. (Q) [560]: Am I doing my part that was assigned me to do, that I may become a healer? (A) Keep that inviolate as thou doest; in thy weakness, so is strength being added, that will give more and more power through word, association, giving understanding, life and light to others; for he that approaches must lean upon one thou hast helped. 9. (Q) Will the Forces please advise us if the healing group is making progress, and if we have made any material demonstrations? (A) As has been given, much has been accomplished in the minds and hearts and the souls of many, for in unison of purpose comes that strength that enables those to whom such thought is directed to become more and more aware of that consciousness. This may be illustrated in this manner: As is understood, Life - God - in its essence is Vibration, and - as the physical beings are of that atomic force, a portion of the same - the AWARENESS of same is as to how conscious that vibration may be made, even as we find in the physical body that sight, hearing, taste, speech, are but an alteration of vibration attuned to those portions in the consciousness of the physical body, becoming aware OF things, OF vibration, reaching same from within or from without. Hence one may not hear the prayer or the thought sent by an individual whose attunement is not sufficient to raise that vibration in an individual, but the COMBINED - as we have in numbers - raise to such an extent that the AWAKENING comes by this CONTINUING of this direction of the spiritual forces to an individual; even as the small drop may wear away the HARDEST stone. 10. (Q) Will the forces please give us information regarding [5546] [m. child mentally retarded] passing on? Did we aid him? If so, how? [5546-1 given 10/14/31.] (A) Here we find a physical condition of a nature that was of prenatal conditions, where a physical being was in existence with only half an awareness of the conditions about same. The RELEASING of that force into the ability to become aware, or a birth into the spiritual sources. Not only aiding the individual but those so responsible for same, as to bring a consciousness of the universal or creative spiritual forces in the lives - LIVES - of all. Aid, then, not only to the body but to those so vitally interested in the same. [GD's note: Above Par. 10-Q & 10-A used in 5576-1 Reports.] 11. (Q) [993]: As a member of the healing group, am I cooperating in the way that I should? (A) Well that there be kept that attitude, that purpose, that intent; for there is the awakening that there is not only the conscious EFFORT, but the awakening TO that of GREATER abilities to be not only humble, contrite, and of the forces that bring Life itself, but ATTUNING with others in aiding to bring that consciousness to many. 12. (Q) Have we as a group been able to aid [5576] [deformed, retarded m. child] [son of recently deceased Dr. [...] who had been metaphysical teacher of Miss [993] and others in the [281] prayer group.] If not, please explain how we may best aid him? [5576-1 given 12/22/31.] (A) In that there is much of a debt of gratitude, as well as of duty, as well as bringing that awakening of the spiritual consciousness; though this may not yet be SEEN in a VISIBLE way, there is good being accomplished not only in self but in meeting those obligations to others, as WELL as BRINGING to the consciousness of the body an awakening. [See 281-7 Par. 12-A on 6/17/32 in re. [5576]. Both it and above Par. 12-A used in 5576-1 Reports.] 13. (Q) Please explain how to heal an epileptic, and are they possessed by an unclean spirit? If so, should we command it to leave in the name of Jesus Christ, and to no more enter? ["Unclean spirit" Par. 13-Q, 15-Q prompted by EC's correspondence with Dr. N. H. Prouty, M.D., who had given a lifetime of study to magnetic healing.] (A) There are various characterizations in those that are termed epileptics. Some arise from one condition, some from another. Some are indeed possessed with an uncleanness from those of the

moral life in that that has been projected, or that brings life in its essence itself, and then become epileptics, MEETING in self those very conditions that have been as omissions in its experiences in the earth; bringing then that necessity that others in aiding COMMAND, demand, in the Name, that these be cast out. Too, there are those that need the body vibrations each day, that these may be made whole by the laying on of hands, which will require some two, three to four weeks, that will bring an understanding and a change in the body, or bodies, that will make for wholeness of purpose. One, then, that with the aid of others - or by self - brings such, SAVES one from much that hinders. 14. (Q) As a group, are we reaching that consciousness of His presence in healing, which should come to the group to make their selves one in purpose? If not, how? (A) This, as we find, as a group has been rather of the spasmodic nature. Individuals have been raised high; others have been lacking, or lax, in cooperative measures - yet much has been, may be, accomplished. Faint not, nor find fault not, one with another. PRAY, rather, one with another. 15. (Q) How may epileptics possessed by an unclean spirit be designated or be known? (A) As to whether there be consciousness or not THROUGH the falling, or spell. Those that are unconscious are possessed, or are possessed during that unconsciousness - see? Such need, then, the raising of daily vibration. This may be accomplished by placing the left hand over the abdominal region and the right hand over the 9th and 10th dorsal or solar plexus ganglia, and so held for half to three-quarters of an hour each day. It will leave! 16. (Q) This should be done by someone else? (A) To be sure! 17. (Q) Any certain one? (A) One who may be designated of the group, but all the group holding with the individual at that special time. That of the mental strength to aid such an one. Must be applied direct, to be sure. 18. (Q) Should [543] be helped in this way? (A) Yes. 19. (Q) By which one? (A) Anyone that may be designated of the group. 20. (Q) [295]: Am I beginning to see auras? (A) Beginning to see auras. As life, light, and love - with understanding - is reflected in self, so may there be seen those of the SAME reflection from others. 21. (Q) What is the significance of the flashes and forms which I frequently see? (A) Those of the higher vibrations of inter-between, as well as spiritual forces taking forms in or before the mental self. 22. (Q) Should I develop automatic handwriting? (A) We would not advise it! Too easily is it misleading, especially when there are so many flashes about. Rather that of intuitive force, that may be guided by higher sources. 23. (Q) [288]: In what way can I be of the most help to the healing group? (A) By cooperating in the meditation, in the prayer, in the direction of individual thought, purpose, intent, aims, desires, to others. 24. (Q) How can I be of more direct help in bringing healing to the body of [294], thereby enabling many others to be healed, physically, mentally, spiritually, who seek through these channels? (A) In keeping in accord with that as brings for the better understanding and awakening to that as

surrounds the body in its various aspects, fears, and understanding. 25. (Q) General: Is there anything more we can do in being of help to [543]? (A) Plenty to do that hasn't been done! Try that once! 26. We are through.

PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Boyd Davis, L. B. and Hugh Lynn Cayce. READING Born July 31, 1923, in Sibly Hospital about 10:00 A. M., Washington, D.C. Time of Reading 3:10 to 3:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Washington, D.C. (Life Reading Suggestion) 1. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, and those relations with the universe and universal forces that are latent and manifested in the personalities of the entity now known as or called [693]. 2. In giving that from the records as we have here, we find much that might be said concerning what has been written in many quarters respecting heredity and environment. For these, whether the individuals will or not, go much deeper than ordinarily seen from reasoning in one plane, one experience, one environ. Yet oft, as we find here, individuals again and again are drawn together that there may be the meeting in the experience of each that which will make them aware of wherein they, as individuals (individual entity and soul), have erred respecting experiences in materiality or soul life even. For the soul lives on, and unless that which has been the trouble, the barrier, the dissenting influence in the experience is met in self's relationships to Creative Forces, it must gradually make for deteriorating experiences in the expression of such a spirit influence in matter - or materiality. 3. In this entity we find it coming under the influence of those things rather in the earth, that have made for that which in the flesh and in the mental forces makes for those expressions of conditions that must not only be met BY self but in those who HAVE been and are responsible for the entering of the soul into the experience. O that men (or man) would become cognizant of the necessity of preparations within themselves for being the channels for giving a soul the opportunity for expressions in the earth, or in matter! THIS soul, or this BODY, was not wanted; yet as it came with those surrounding environs, those attitudes and those wishes and those desires that made for the entrance, we have that which must be met. As we find, if those things are adhered to in a conscientious manner that we have indicated, much of that may be eradicated by the time there are those periods when the alterations or changes come in the activative influences within the body itself [at 14 yrs. of age?, second cycle?]. If it is allowed to become a portion of the developing manhood and the expression of same into materiality, less and less will there be the opportunity for the eradicating of same entirely from the system. 4. As to the expressions of the entity in the earth, we find:

5. Before this it was in those environs when there were the activities in the land now known as Salem, and the experience about Providence Town when there were the expressions and activities that made for the suppression of the expressions of individuals in meeting those experiences that came as the expressions of spiritual manifestations in the experiences of others. 6. The entity was not only among those that made for the belittling of such but induced the material activity in the suppression, in the expression; and not only took advantage of those that were being oppressed but used same in such a manner as to gratify, satisfy, the passions of the body in associations with same. These made for the expressions that have brought in the experience of the entity in the present that which makes for the more often the attempt of expression of self during that sojourn, or during that experience; and almost a possession takes place within the body when there are those touchings upon those things when the MIND of the body attempts to rest, such that others creep close to the border; making for those manifestations that bring into the experience the uncontrollableness within its own self. Yet much of that which may make for the corrections in same lies within those abilities of those that are responsible for its physical entrance in the present. 7. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Palestine land, during the periods when the Master walked in the earth. 8. The entity then was among those that were the scoffers, among those of the Sanhedrin itself; for the entity then, in the name Samaleuen, represented the tribes of Reuben, and was of the household of those of that particular people. For it represented same in those experiences in the beginning of the separation of the house, for the entity was itself Reuben! 9. In the experience there, we find the entity lost in many respects; gained somewhat in the latter portions, yet allowed self to be led away by that which seemed for the moment necessary for the satisfying of the material expressions and material beings in the activities of the individual. 10. Before that we find the entity was among the first born of Jacob and Leah, and making for the expressions that in the beginning brought much that was in accord with the callings into an activity where these might have brought the blessings upon the activities in the sojourn. Yet when the desires of the flesh entered, and the associations with those things and about those peoples that had been as an expression of intolerance to those peoples, the entity made for the associations that brought disorder, discontent within those of its own household and those of its people in that experience and that expression. 11. These made for again those activities that have brought in the present the necessity of the awareness of the spiritual awakening within the expression and experience of the entity. 12. Before that we find the entity was in the period when there were those changes in the sons of Tubal-Cain when Lamech made for those choices of the first beginnings of when MAN as man partook of those things that made for the multiplicity, or when polygamy first began among those peoples. 13. This brought to the entity during the experience that of disorder, disturbance, the unfavorable expressions of many about the entity; and bringing those experiences that have builded for disorders in the experience. 14. As to the abilities of the entity, then, and that to which it may attain and how in the present: 15. First, as has been indicated, as it has brought to those in the experience, aided by those in the experiences throughout the sojourns, turmoils and strifes into its material experience, so - with

those who have meted and who have been with same in many - must there come the deliverance from the association of the multiplicity of activities in the spirit associations and in the activities about the entity in the mental and material plane. Then may we find, if the entity turns to the universal constructive forces that may be had by and through those promises which have ever been made to the children of men, there may come strength and understanding. And in those things that make for the mechanical appliances of any nature may the entity gain activity in the present experience for those greater expressions of material gains, and in the applications of the simple laws, "As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them," becoming applicable, being applied in the experience, may make for the greater growths in this experience. 16. Ready for questions. 17. (Q) Will he be given the power and (A) (Interrupting) This must be aided in being received in those manners as has been indicated. Follow those instructions. Make for, those about same, the constant prayer - not of a selfishness, but, "Show Thou, O Lord, the way to this erring soul, this wandering entity, that Thou may in Thine mercy bring harmony in the mental, coordination in the material with a perfect mental and physical body." 18.

Kahn, 20 Woods Lane, Scarsdale, N.Y., this 11th day of November, 1936, in accordance with request made by the godmother, Mrs. [...], new Active Member of the Ass''n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., Virginia Beach, Va. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. READING Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ala. (Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: Yes. 2. As we find the conditions that have surrounded this body are of very unusual natures. 3. Under the existent conditions and circumstances, would it be well that there be made attempts to hinder in the natural courses of the relationships in life, in experience that should come to all through these experiences? 4. It is well rather that those to whom the body-physical has been entrusted be counseled with as respecting their attitudes, their purposes, their conditions in the activities of life as relate to the associations of individual experiences with the Divine Purpose in the mind and experience of each and every soul that enters into an earthly existence.

5. And that these through their relationships to their fellow man, their relationships to circumstances, their relationships to conditions as arise in the experience of every one, are to be such that there is a demonstration of that which they as individuals would worship, in that they have set as their God. 6. Know that though the trials and vicissitudes of life oft appear to be controversial, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, the God in self that has been and is that real manifestation of the life itself in a material plane. 7. Hence, as we would give, look to Him rather who is the resurrection and the life, who has promised to all who call on Him that He will hear, that He will bear with them the trials, the experiences in every hour, even through the shadows, even through the river of death. 8. These should be rather the thoughts that each and every individual about the entity may purport in their minds, their hearts and lives; that from this day forth, 9. "OTHERS MAY DO AS THEY MAY, BUT FOR ME, I WILL SERVE A LIVING GOD, METING IN EVERY RELATIONSHIP WITH AND DOING UNTO MY FELLOW MEN AS I WOULD DESIRE, AS I WOULD LIKE THEM TO DO UNTO ME." 10. Know that only in such an experience, only in such relationships with the fellow man may there come the voice of "Well done." Only in such may come peace and harmony. 11. And when there are resentments held, when there are disappointments, know that the hurt is as much with Him as with thee - unless they be of a selfish nature. 12. For we find no thought of self in His experience before men, but that all men everywhere - in every walk of life - should know the light, and through Him have an advocate with the Father. That ye have in thine experience. 13. Carry on in those ways and manners that seemeth best in the present, leaving the results then with the Divine Within. 14. For the soul hath grown weary of the aches and the pains, of the outlook upon life in a body racked with the influences of materiality that have been neglected to be brought into the proper relationships with Creative Forces. 15. Then let thy prayer be: 16. "Thy Will, Thy Mercy, O God, Now; that there may be done in my life, his life, that as Thou seest best! To HIM, O God, we commit his keeping." 17.

PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. READING Time of Reading 11:35 to 11:50 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ala. (Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: Yes, we have that as has been given, as well as those conditions that surround the body. 2. As has been indicated, while the ministrations are the expressions of the divine, the activities and those things as surround the body are such that they are for the entity's development. 3. That there may be a prolonging, that there may be the opportunity for some to give the greater expressions of those influences in their experience for the manifestations of love and of patience and of consideration, physical applications may be made. But these, as we have indicated from the natures of these, are from a prenatal condition of a septic influence - whose very nature is for physical destructive forces. 4. Thus as these increase, unless there is a setting about or ridding of conditions - Not that the power or the might of Divine is short; not that these may not be applied in the experience - but if will those applying same, will those responsible for the body and those channels through which such conditions have come, pay that price necessary? or will they continue to hold - as their patience, as their wonderment - that of animosity or that of a grudge or that of such anxiety that it becomes condemnation? 5. For that ye condemn in another, ye become guilty of that ye condemn them in. 6. For thy Pattern has never condemned ANY man, nor any man's soul, but has prepared a way of escape, ever. 7. In the physical reactions we find, as has been given and indicated, through those seeking in a manner to aid, there are hindrances in the coordination between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nervous system. These have formed and do form through the lacteal duct areas that wherein the enzymes of the body are inefficient to meet the nature or character of activity in the system. Thus we find these conditions in the physical forces, with the attempts of the food values and food activities and the conditions that arise from a sepsis - or a nature that comes from syphilitic reaction. 8. By patience, by application of the oils - or the Castor Oil - continuously for two, three, four days, rest two to three days and then begin again, and then continuing with these, we may PROLONG those conditions by building resistances. 9. If we can awaken in those who are responsible, in those who would bring help and relief, the consciousness that the Divine MAY aid - and through their very activities to individuals day by day - we may bring with the physical that of spiritual healing also, that may aid. 10. The Castor Oil Packs would necessarily be as hot as the body can stand same, continuously, almost continuously for two to three days; rest two to three days; begin again. 11. Then give those influences within that make for the same character of an activity throughout the system, but give these in Olive Oil and not Castor Oil. This will supply food to the body.

12. Remember, applications physical - or mechanical applications, or medications, or such active forces are an expression of the divine; as must be the prayers and meditations of those if they would bring help to the body. 13. Massages with these each day will aid, will help. If these will be carried through, help may come. If these will be given only as partially or as not necessary for this or that, then only that much of help or aid will come. 14. Ready for questions. 15. (Q) How should the Olive Oil be given in what quantities and how often? (A) After the Packs have been given for two to three days, then for two to three days drink about two tablespoonsful twice a day of the Pure Olive Oil. 16. (Q) Are there any conditions of the body that uncorrected might lead to convulsions? (A) As has been indicated, the causes are a lack of the coordination between the replenishing and the body functioning. In the assimilations the lack of certain forms of enzymes, and these are in the reproductive system but activative in the lacteal duct, gall duct and spleen area. Hence through the alimentary canal the upset, bringing temperature, bringing convulsions or the breaking of that coordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system. Causes arise from that not in the immediate generation, but has skipped one. 17. (Q) Is the diet being correctly followed? (A) These as we find should be kept at least eighty percent alkalin to twenty percent acidproducing. We are through with this reading. Copy to Mrs. [...] " " Ass'n file

TEXT OF READING 1625-1 M 7 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 1st day of July, 1938, in accordance with request made by the parents [...], new Associate Membership in the Ass''n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [1226]. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. [1625] and parents, Mr. [1226] and Dr. Henry W. Hardwicke. READING Time of Reading 10:30 to 11:55 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion) 1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1625]. 2. Now as we find, there are definite adhesions which prevent the normal reaction between impulse and the activity of the cerebrospinal system - or the voluntary and involuntary nerve center, or the ungoverning by the adhesion and its effect upon the cerebrospinal and nervous system and the sympathetic of that governor of the impulse through the medulla oblongata.

3. These then are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1625] we are speaking of: 4. The blood supply is somewhat impoverished, owing to the lack of proper assimilation, and the inability of the system through proper impulse - or through hindrances in the assimilating forces to distribute that even that is assimilated. 5. In the activity of the nervous system we find the source or the causes of the disturbance. 6. First, as we find, there was a disturbance during those periods when there was the healing of the umbilical cord; cold, contraction, and some infectious forces that caused or produced great heat or temperature. 7. The lymph and the emunctory activities through the areas about the LACTEALDUCTS" target="rightmain">lacteal ducts as related to the gall duct and its activity upon the system produce an adhesion in the right portion and side. 8. Hence we have had constant disturbance in the lack of proper eliminations. The body easily at times becomes upset, and the recurrent conditions are from an upset stomach - or the lack of eliminations. 9. These are produced by the lack of the ability for the system to properly take care of this assimilation through the lower portion of the stomach, or through those ducts from which the absorption comes. 10. And this produces these reactions upon the chyle through the system, and this in reaction between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic system causes a contraction through the areas from the 4th lumbar, 12th dorsal. 11. These reflex to the brush portion of the cerebrospinal system, and when this impulse rises to the brain center, or through the lack of coordinating to the brain center through the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal, the contraction is at the 1st cervical. 12. Hence this character of condition, unless removed, will gradually grow very much worse. For it will tend to draw the head and body backward, and these of such sudden natures would tend to make injuries the more common by the fall or the like. 13. The applications here of internal medicines, as we find, or applications, would only be effective in use of sedatives, which would only hinder; though they might allay the condition if applied. 14. Hence as we find: 15. Use the Castor Oil Packs over the lower portion of the liver, the abdomen, and especially - of course - the lower portion of the caecum also. This would be done about three times each day, for a period of five days; rest a period of five days, and then this done again. Continue in this manner. The application of the three periods each day would be at least for an hour at each time. Have the packs as hot as the body can bear, but not with sufficient heat to make same so uncomfortable as to become a torment. It'll be bad enough through the hot weather to use same - but these are needed! 16. After each of the applications, GENTLY massage the abdomen - almost as of a kneading motion, though gently; especially in the right portion and across to the liver, the gall ducts and portions of the umbilicus plexus - extending, of course, to the caecum. HERE (at the caecum) these areas shall be pulled, as it were, gently, but sufficiently deep to move the organs internally to pull

them upward; while the areas in the jejunum and the upper colon portion and transverse colon portion would be moved right and left, see? 17. When these Packs and the massage have been followed for at least four or five periods or rounds, then we would begin with the use of the Radio-Active Appliance. 18. The applications would be made somewhat differently from those ordinarily indicated in the use of the Radio-Active Appliance. The plate for the last attachment would be a little larger than the ordinary, or than the plate for the first attachment. And we would make the attachments as follows: 19. The first day: Make the first attachment of the small plate to the right wrist, the last attachment - or the larger plate - to the umbilicus and lacteal duct plexus, or three fingers from the navel center toward the right, see? 20. Next day: First attachment would be to the left wrist, the last to the 9th dorsal plexus. 21. Third day: First attach to the left ankle, then to the umbilicus and lacteal duct area. 22. Fourth day: Attach first to the right ankle, last to the 9th dorsal. 23. Continue rotating the applications in this manner. We would give these vibrations every evening, just before retiring - but have a definite period for applying same - for a period of a full thirty minutes; thirty-five would not be too much, but not longer than that. 24. We would use such periods as the periods of meditation; talking to and making suggestions to the body for its physical, mental and spiritual welfare. Here the mother, the father, each may find not only the abilities to direct the mental and physical DEVELOPMENT of the body but they will find help themselves in DIRECTING same! Hence during the application we would give the gentle suggestions. 25. And following such applications, we would continue to give the gentle suggestions; but also a massage - when the Appliance is disconnected. This would be better given along the cerebro-spinal system than over the abdomen. This would be with two fingers on either side of the cerebrospinal system; gently pull downward - that is, beginning at the neck - about half an inch; then press gently; slide just a little more and then press along the whole of the cerebrospinal system. 26. These kept, we will remove the causes AND the effects of these disturbances. 27. In the matter of the diet for the body, we would give rather the warning as to those things NOT to give! Never any white bread. Never any white potatoes, except they be roasted or boiled and more of the jacket eaten than the pulp. Never fried foods. 28. Use fish, fowl or lamb as meats. Never any hog meat at any time - for when these are given we would find a reaction that would be very bad. 29. Have vegetable juices, fruits and fruit juices. All of these should be a portion of the diet. 30. Rather than giving a cathartic or laxative in the beginning, well to use enemas. This would cleanse the system from the conditions as will be loosened by the absorption as well as the massage. 31. Do these for this body, [1625].

32. Ready for questions. 33. After these have been given for sixty to ninety days, we would give further instructions. 34. We are through for the present. Copy to Parents " " Ass'n file

GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them: 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2139]. 3. Now, as we find, the conditions that exist here are partially prenatal, partially the effect of conditions which existed in the manner of presentation and delivery, and the lack of care given the entity at that time, - combined with the conditions of the entity's entrance, having to do with conditions which surrounded the parents at and before conception; and these are a part also of the general MENTAL conditions. 4. These, we find, may be materially aided. It will require patience, persistence, and will be a long time, - unless there is a closer spiritual awakening of those responsible for this soul's entrance into this experience. 5. There are, then, as we find, material things as well as mental and spiritual things that are to be a part of that which might aid. 6. In the physical body we find there are incoordinations between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal systems, - not only in the lacteals as related to the solar plexus reaction but also in the base of the head or brain. 7. And these as we find may respond the sooner if there are the adjustments - in making the applications - that would cause the nerves, that reflect to the optics, to come nearer in accord; thus relieving the tensions there and allowing a normal flow of impulse, as well as energies or supplies from the blood stream for resuscitating the nerve, muscle and tissue, as well as the reflex for the

optics; otherwise, these will atrophy. 8. Then, - we would give, first: 9. Have adjustments, osteopathically made, that would relieve those tensions in the head, the neck; which should or must necessarily begin from the 9th dorsal and go to the 1st cervical. 10. These adjustments would require periods of three to four weeks, with a rest period, and then periods of the treatments again. 11. After there has been a relaxing, and some conditions showing improvement, we would begin also with the Castor Oil Packs over the lacteal duct, the liver, as well as the 9th dorsal and the upper portions of the kidney. Hence, these would be put AROUND the body, see? These would be given for an hour every day for at least a period of three weeks at a time. 12. Do these for the FIRST period. 13. When there are the indications of help to the optic forces, as well as the ability to assimilate and to digest the foods, then we would give further instructions. 14. Ready for questions. 15. (Q) Would he eventually lose his eyesight in his right eye? (A) As indicated. Atrophy means deadened. 16. (Q) Please give a correct diet? (A) Those foods that are easily assimilated; as cereals, fruits, milk, and especially citrus fruit juices. Do these for the first six weeks, and after that - if there are the improvements as indicated that may be expected - these may be followed the more closely. 17. (Q) Is there any foods that he should not eat? (A) Don't eat sweets or candies. 18. (Q) Please give the mother of the child some advice that may help her in aiding and rearing the child. (A) As indicated, this must be a spiritual awakening. Not that there may be said, Do this or Do that, but the desire must be created in the innate and manifested activities by accepting and doing that which is in keeping with the spiritual forces as manifested in the Christ. 19.

Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. READING Born November 1, 1927, in Huntington, West Virginia. Time of Reading 3:45 to 4:05 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., W. Va. 1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces; giving the conditions which are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth plane, giving time, place and the name, and that in each life which built or retarded the development for the entity; giving the abilities of the present entity, that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions, as I ask them: 2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [2153]. 3. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them, these are very much dependent upon the application of the wills of those about the entity, and the obligations as well as opportunities others about the entity have toward the entity. 4. And those responsible for this entity as an individual expression of a soul in this experience, should parallel their experiences showing those opportunities and those obligations with this entity. For, with such a paralleling (through their own Life Readings, you see), there would be a much greater comprehension of purposes as come into the experiences of those who oft are inclined to pass off such disturbances as chance, or as conditions that are unavoidable. 5. Yet each soul as it visions the experiences, the hardships in the experience of this entity, should realize that indeed each soul meets itself, and God is not mocked but whatsoever a soul soweth, that shall it also reap. 6. The astrological aspects, without a closer coordination in the physical and the mental being, will mean little in the experience of this entity or those responsible for same. 7. On the other hand, the relationships through the material or earthly sojourns may give a vision of the self, and self-aggrandizements or indulgences that find their expression in a physical condition in the experience of an individual entity who also is reaping that of its own whirlwind. 8. Hence as we find, as to the appearances of this entity: 9. Before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity, but closer to those activities about the founding or settling of the land. 10. Then as Marjorie Desmond, the entity was active in the associations with many, as to relationships which excited the fires of the physical being of many. 11. Thus the inability in the present of coordinating the emotions with the mental attributes. 12. But, as indicated, those who are now responsible for the entrance of the entity into this material plane were those who were then responsible in the greater measure for the lack of exercising due consideration to the activities, and allowed same in measures for the greater material gains. Consequently they, too, in the present are meeting much that may be overcome in this experience. 13. Before that the entity was in the Promised Land, at those periods of the return of the children of promise to the rebuilding of the city, the temple, and the walls thereof.

14. The entity then was among those close in the household of those who directed that activity, under the direct lineage of Zerubbabel, of the Levites, - and thus of those of the priesthood. 15. In the beginnings the entity aided much, but with the disputations which arose regarding others who were descendants of those left in the land, the entity sided more with those; and thus brought disturbing forces in its experience, and that rebellion which again found expression in the material environs in that sojourn just previous to the present sojourn, which we have just indicated. 16. The name then was Esdreldia. 17. Before that the entity was in the lands when there were the journeyings from the house or land of bondage to the free land, or to the land of promise. 18. The entity then also was of the lineage of the Levites, but of the Korah tribe, - being among the daughters of the son of Korah. 19. In that experience the entity gained, and yet held to its duty to its father and mother, which brought destructive experiences in the activities of the entity in its youth; though the entity was not destroyed when those of the household of Korah were destroyed. However, resentments were builded in a manner that found expressions again, without due consideration to the spiritual experiences of the entity. 20. Thus the necessity in the present, - for the TRUTH of spiritual life and spiritual processes as related to the material AND mental forces, - for the entity returning to a physical, mental and spiritual understanding in order for there to be a normal balance. 21. The name then was Ashbahel. 22. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, among the offspring of the Atlanteans, though born and reared to activity in the Egyptian experience for the developments towards establishing what is now known as the hospitalization of individuals' ills of body or mind, and the segregations of activities or influences that are within themselves detrimental or undermining to the physical and mental well-being of individuals. 23. Thus we find the entity in the present innately appreciates those things pertaining to vibrations as in music; and these will be helpful forces in not only the suggestive but the active forces of the body in the present; also things pertaining to helpful influences in the experiences of others. 24. As to that to which the entity may attain, and how: 25. As indicated, this depends much upon the attitudes and applications of those who may use influences to restore, renew and bring about a better physical balance within the experience of the entity. 26. And then in the training pertaining to those things indicated through which it has gained in the material sojourns, may the outlet come for greater experiences for this entity. 27. Ready for questions. 28. (Q) Have her past experiences anything to do with her present physical and mental condition? (A) As indicated in that given. 29. (Q) Has the condition of the body for the past ten years had any effect upon it physically and

mentally? (A) Necessarily, these have not been - nor are they yet - coordinated. 30. (Q) What type of education should body have to prepare her for life? (A) The musical education, as indicated, as well as the inclination towards that of nursing. 31. (Q) Any particular musical instrument you would suggest? (A) Any that has the VIBRATIONS as created in the environs of the body. 32. (Q) What effect has destiny on the present appearances? (A) This depends, as indicated, upon the application of those who have brought the entity into its present environs; and the greater DESTINY may be according to how well there is the application of the obligations due the entity. 33. (Q) What environment will aid her future development? (A) As has been indicated. 34. (Q) What will aid her to overcome her physical and mental ailments? (A) As indicated, - the physical exertions, exercises and activities for the body. 35. We are through with this Reading. Copy to Father " " Ass'n file " " Mr. [257]

TEXT OF READING 2153-4 F 12 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 31st day of August, 1940, in accordance with request made by the father - Mr. [2345], Associate Member of the Ass''n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. [2153] and her parents, and Mr. [257]. READING Time of Reading 11:10 to 11:50 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., W. Va. 1. GC: You will have before you the body of [2153], present in this room. You will inform us as to the present physical condition, showing what improvement has been made, and what should now be done to further the treatments to bring a complete restoration to the health of the body, mental and physical. You will answer the questions, as I ask them: 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2153]; this we have had before, you see. 3. As has been indicated, there are some general improvements. While some of those applications suggested have not as yet been administered, we find that these are the greater precautions to be taken, and those that may insure the complete restoration to normal physical reactions in the body.

4. That there has NOT been any reactions to the mental body is to be considered as a most hopeful sign. 5. Then, do not allow the administrations of any sedatives or narcotics or hypnotics that would injure or tend to make the greater breaking between the physical and mental bodies. 6. As has been indicated - and should be noted by the masseur or osteopath - the lesions that cause attacks are in the lacteal duct and those areas about the assimilating system and the upper portion of jejunum and caecum. 7. There are NO brain lesions, but there is that which at times hinders the coordination between the impulses of the body and the normal physical reactions - or that break between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic or vegetative nerve system, that coordinates from the lacteal duct through the adrenals and their reaction to the pineal; causing the spasmodic reaction in the medulla oblongata, or that balance at the base of the brain. 8. Have sufficient periods of the Castor Oil Packs. To be sure, they are disagreeable, but they will break up lesions as no other administrations will. The best time to take these is the evening, to be sure. These should be given in series; applied for an hour each evening for two or three evenings BEFORE each osteopathic adjustment is to be made, see? At least every OTHER series, follow same with at least a tablespoonful of Olive Oil taken internally. 9. When the osteopathic treatments are given twice each week, the Packs would be given two days in succession preceding each treatment, you see. When only one osteopathic treatment is given a week, then the Packs would be given two to three evenings in succession before the treatment; which would make a longer period between the series of the Packs, you see. 10. Keep these up until this coldness AND the lesion in the right side is removed, - which is just a hand's breadth below the point of the rib, or over that area of the ducts. 11. To be sure, there may be many questions as to the exact area of the ducts, even according to some anatomists for they have changed their ideas of people, and yet people haven't changed a very great deal! 12. There are, to be sure, LACTEALDUCTS" target="rightmain">lacteal ducts. There are the strings or ducts all through the upper portion of the alimentary canal, or jejunum; but the larger patch or area is that lying just below the lower end of the duodenum, and where same EMPTIES into the jejunum, see? THIS patch is not only an INTERNAL activity but an EXTERNAL, that makes for the production of assimilation. 13. The adhesions in these ducts here were produced by an excess temperature, which the body suffered at some period when there was too SUDDEN dropping of the temperature (which they may check and find to be correct), and NOT sufficient water, or manipulations, or activity, through the alimentary canal. 14. This has gradually caused the disturbances to the general breaking of coordination in the nerve systems, and brings about - for this body - the SOURCE of the attacks. 15. These CAN be - these will be eliminated, if these applications here suggested will be followed. 16. Hence DO these! 17. The osteopathic manipulations, of course, are to adjust those coordinations through lumbar, sacral, lower dorsals, AND at the vegetative center - or the brachial center. These are the areas for

activity. The frequency of these treatments should vary, and also the length of treatment, according to that desired to be accomplished BY each treatment! Have the administrations made by one who is not only in sympathy but who KNOWS the suggestive forces through these channels! The idea of the treatments, of course, is to correct those subluxations, or tendencies, which exist; deep in some areas, superficial in others, along that area given; but mostly to eradicate causing the system to assimilate - the tautness, coldness and the lesions in the right side of body, in the areas indicated. Not that such an adjustment or corrective treatment would be done at each treatment, but WHEN such is done - that is how long the treatment should be, you see; and about once to twice each week. 18. Do that. 19. Ready for questions. 20. (Q) How long should the Mayblossom Bitters be taken? (A) Take periodically. Take regularly for fifteen days, as given. Then leave off for five to ten days; then take again. Do this consistently until the quantity that has been indicated has been used. 21. (Q) Would Jerusalem Artichoke Flour take the place of the sweets she craves? (A) It might take the place, but would be too violent a reaction upon the pancrean system, and to the kidneys themselves. The sweets should be rather in the nature of honey and the honeycomb. Once a day, early of morning, take a teaspoonful of honey (teaspoonful, not a tablespoonful), and there will not be the desire so much for other sweets. 22. (Q) Should she be allowed to have a lamb chop, steak or other meat occasionally besides the fish and fowl? (A) Fish, fowl or lamb, - but NOT fried foods! As to beef, this is not so well - unless it is very, VERY thoroughly cooked; and then well, WELL masticated! 23. (Q) Who is the best osteopath to treat this case? (A) Dobbins we would give as the BEST! 24. (Q) Would she be able to live in New York, to her best advantage, to obtain these treatments? (A) In such considerations, others are to be considered as well as the body, and as well as the conditions FOR the body. As we find, if there would be a period of some six weeks in New York following the treatments, and then at home for some three to five weeks, and then another six week period of treatment in New York, we should HAVE NO MORE! 25. (Q) How much rest does the body require, and what hours should be observed? (A) This depends a great deal upon the physical activities of the body. To be sure, the body should take as much physical exercise - and in the open - as is practical each day, not to be overstrenuous. Calisthenics, or ANYTHING that has to do with the general movements of the body in the open is well. Walking is one of the BEST of exercises; walking, swimming, ANYTHING that has the calisthenics; tennis, handball, Badminton; ANY of those activities for the body. 26. (Q) Should she be protected from excitement, or allowed to meet it normally? (A) As conditions progress, - that is, the lesions removed and coordination established in the cerebrospinal system, NORMAL reactions should be the order for the body. 27. (Q) What effect will puberty have upon this condition, when it is definitely established?

(A) Depends upon what is done about making the corrections before that time fully comes about. If corrections are made before then, then we may expect this to be MOST beneficial. If corrections are NOT made, we may find periods of such frequent attacks that the resorting to Luminal or such would keep them down but make for mental reactions - which do not occur in the present. 28. (Q) Could dry ice be used in any form to keep a cold pack handy for use at any time at base of brain, as last Reading suggested? (A) Ice in ANY form may be used to allay or stop an attack. But why prepare for attacks? Why not ELIMINATE the causes? 29. (Q) Would it be best for the body to have the constant attention of a private tutor, nurse and companion, such as [Miss [1204], ... St., N.Y.C.? (A) It is best to have the mother for the first series, at least. But be sure there is sympathetic companionship of those near the body's age and ideas, thoughts, and the like. Hence it will require one of very high ideals. 30. (Q) Would the college training, dietetic knowledge, as well as the medical training [Miss [1204]] has had, be of assistance in the education of this body? (A) It's not needed in this particular period. In the second series it might be beneficial, provided it becomes agreeable to the body itself. It has a mind of its own, and knows how to use it! 31. (Q) Is there any way one could be prepared for the attacks, to prevent the falling? (A) ELIMINATE THE CAUSES! It's just necessary, to be sure, that there be those close to the body, or with the body, to prevent those activities that would cause injury to the body - when or should such reoccur. 32. (Q) Has her stay so far at Va. Beach retarded the attacks? (A) They have! See, the sands and the radiation upon same are such as to be most beneficial to the general nervous system of ANYONE; and as for this individual body, these we find are most helpful. 33. (Q) Would Florida be advised for this winter? (A) If the west coast is chosen and not the east. 34. (Q) Would Virginia Beach be a good permanent place for aid to this body? (A) The best for this, as indicated, is in that area suggested. If you could bring Dobbins to Virginia Beach, it would be fine - but you can't! 35. (Q) If all treatments are followed, what length of time should be required for results and complete restoration of her health? (A) Results? A CURE should be had in six months! 36. (Q) Any suggestions for mental development in the meantime? (A) As given, there should be the associations of individuals near the body's own age, - but UNDER the supervision or the eye of the mother, especially through the first period. See, there should be a period of six weeks, and then a rest period of four to five weeks. There may be a reoccurrence, but the change of scene and environ is needed for the body. Then there may be more social activities, and others more about the body during the NEXT period of six weeks. 37. (Q) How can she play with children, when we are so afraid of these attacks coming? (A) As indicated, the companions are to be chosen, - those that are sympathetic and who understand, and who have high ideals themselves as the body has!

Do these things. Be patient; be prayerful above all. Know that there are obligations, duties, - but let them be not as a DUTY, rather as an OPPORTUNITY; that ye may know the love of the Father as may be manifested through this body. 38.

TEXT OF READING 2153-7 F 13 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 7th day of December, 1940, in accordance with request made by the father - Mr. [2345], Associate Member of the Ass''n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. READING Time of Reading 4:10 to 4:25 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. 1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them: 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2153]. 3. As we find, while conditions are apparently slow, - as we have indicated, - DEFINITE changes are taking place. As we see from the physical reactions, the seizures arise now - the greater part during the rest periods. 4. Then, there needs be used this as a channel of change of expectancy in the attitude of those ABOUT the entity as RESPECTING the final outcomes, - as relief from the disturbing conditions, see? 5. For, this has been touched upon before, - that there is to be a healing ALSO in the minds and purposes of those upon whom the body is dependent in the present for the seeking FOR corrections in a spiritual and mental manner; that the physical expression may be the greater channel for manifestation of the spiritual laws. 6. As to the applications, - let's continue especially with the Castor Oil Packs; that there may also be that breaking up that is sought of the lesions and adhesions in the lacteal duct and the caecum areas. Do not apply the Oil Packs during the menstrual period, but at all times otherwise - on the days upon which the osteopathic adjustments are made, give the Packs at least an hour to an hour and a half BEFORE the adjustments are to be made. 7. Hence, when the general treatments are given, - that is, the osteopathic adjustments, - the lacteal duct area should receive specific attention; where these lesions or adhesions are to be broken up, you see.

8. We would not give the adjustments either, then, during the menstrual period. But at other periods, let's have these in series of six weeks and a rest period of ten days or the like, and then another series. 9. If there is the desire on the part of the body to return home, then have the instructions from the one now making the adjustments TO that one who would be called upon to make same in the home environ. 10. As we find, it is - and should be - a part of the treatments, ever, to change the scenes of activity about the body and for the body, as the conditions are helped. For, while making the changes, the body will find the specific or any one environ becoming at times as a drain upon its nerve energy, see? 11. Do that, then. 12. Ready for questions. 13. (Q) What definite and specific change has taken place in the body since August 31, 1940, on which date the Reading disclosed, (A) (interrupting) As indicated. Read that last given as concerning this, as well as this given here respecting same; that this is as much the deeper mental attitude arising FROM the EXPERIENCES of the body that is part of the disturbance, see? Then, this indicates the general PHYSICAL condition is improved; but that there must be kept this same attitude and this constant development for better expression from the physical to the mental and the spiritual, as well as the attitudes of THOSE ABOUT THE BODY; leaving off doubt and fear; and there will be brought aid. 14. (Q) Advise if it will be helpful to eliminate the small doses of phenobarbital and substitute Dilantin, discovered by Dr. Merritt of Boston. If Dilantin is satisfactory, how much of it should be taken and how often? (A) Dilantin will be helpful here, but DON'T GIVE IT TOO OFTEN! The dosage should be under the direction of the one who discovered same, or a physician who might administer same. But just consider it in the light of that given here. Reduce the dose. Rather than the maximum dose, give the minimum. See? 15. (Q) Advise what ill effects in the body, if any, has the following types of food: Turkey? (A) If not with the fats, this is beneficial. 16. (Q) Broiled lobster? (A) This is very good, for the iodine in same is excellent for body. ALL sea foods are beneficial at the present, if not OVERINDULGED in. 17. (Q) Stewed fruits? (A) This depends upon the character taken. Pears, peaches and such would be helpful, but some others are not so well. 18. (Q) What types of foods are injurious to the body and which should be eliminated? (A) Those that are acid-producing within the system itself. 19. (Q) Is milk helpful to the body? If so, how much of it should be consumed per day? (A) Milk that is not of the animal so much, is helpful; that is, the prepared milks. Though they are not as palatable to the body, they are better for the body. As to how much, - this would be governed according to the appetites, rather than a set rule.

20. (Q) Is cheese good for the body and if so what types should be avoided if any? (A) Those that are not too much of the cheddar nature, and that are easily assimilated, are good for the body. 21. (Q) Does the present condition of the body show an improvement over that indicated before? (A) Considering all of these things that have been indicated, - know that it is not wholly an individual problem, but it is a part of the whole. As we find indicated, if the attitudes and aptitudes are kept in accord with that indicated for those about the entity, and there are the applications of those conditions given, the body will recover entirely from these disturbances. Then, in counsel to those about the entity: Do not allow doubt and fear to enter in. KNOW the source of all that is good. KNOW that there is the power within the body to associate the ideas, the purposes, the desires, with the Infinite, to make it whole within; and this includes those about the body. 22.

Then there are periods when there is the inclination for the system to lapse again into greater and, at times, more

violent convulsions - apparently. 4. However, these even in themselves indicate progress is being made. 5. As we have indicated oft, there needs to be created in those about the body, as well as in the body itself, the attitude more and more of creative helpfulness - in their relationships one to another as well as those to and with whom the individual entities are related in daily activity. 6. This is that attitude necessary to be created in the MIND, you see, and expressed in the actions. 7. Then as for those conditions of the physical nature, - that are the RESULT of the physical as well as mental attitudes that have been brought over, as well as conditions physically existent in the present: 8. We would not go back to the dependency too much upon sedatives. For, with these we are destroying the will - and the ability of the spiritual and mental forces to resist, or to meet itself, so as to make the proper correction. 9. We would continue every two weeks with having a week of the Castor Oil Packs again. 10. Also we would continue with the attempts, osteopathically, to break up those adhesions and lesions through the area from the liver to the caecum; as well as to make a more perfect coordination in the area from the lumbar, sacral and ileum plexus and the lumbar axis, even to the 1st and 2nd cervical area. 11. These treatments we would have not continuously, but have a rest period of one to two weeks from them, then have the same length of time for these mechanical (osteopathic) adjustments and stimulations to be made. 12. Then keep that prayerful mental and physical attitude as we have indicated. 13. Do that. 14. Ready for questions. 15. (Q) Should all other treatments be continued?

TEXT OF READING 2153-10 F 13 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 8th day of August, 1941, in accordance with request made by the father Mr. [2345], Associate Member of the Ass''n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. READING Time of Reading 10:50 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., West Va. 1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them: 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2153]; this we have had before. 3. There are many changes in the general physical forces of this body since last we had same here. While there has not been as much improvement as might be desired by some, there is a great deal of change for the body - and for the better. 4. If it is understood that this change is a gradual growth, or rebirth in attitude, in outlook, in not only the body-forces and functionings of the physical body but the attitudes of individuals ABOUT the entity, there may be appreciated more the improvements that have come about. 5. As we find, the lesions and adhesions which are a part of the physical forces show some improvement. Yet with these also, while there are short periods of these being broken up, there are those tendencies for these to re-adhere. This would indicate that some changes are needed in the chemical reactions or influences through the system. 6. While the properties that have been and are being administered to prevent the spasmodic reactions in the nerve forces are helpful in allaying, they are NOT curative. 7. Hence, while these are being kept allayed, there needs to be those changes necessary for the removal of the CAUSES. 8. Hence mental attitudes - these are then gradually on the improve. Keep these up. But these are not wholly dependent upon the physical body of the entity, but those ABOUT the body and responsible for this body and its mental and physical reaction in this material plane. 9. These then are the applications as we find in the present: 10. There are some conditions where the lack of proper elimination causes pressures in the extremities, forming a sort of neuritic reaction - as indicated in the limbs, the arms, at times even in the shoulders and across the back. 11. Owing to the very nature, the age, the development, these are easily broken up with activity. But unless these sources are relieved, or kept relieved, we find that these would eventually come to be more serious. 12. Then, in the applications for the present: 13. First, - is to keep those attitudes, desires, hopes, in that manner which has been heretofore indicated. These come and go; thus at times become only wishful thinking without the attitude or desire changing activities of individuals towards others or towards this immediate condition. 14. Then in the physical forces of the body, - we would keep those applications suggested in the

varied periods for relaxing the area through the caecum and the gall duct areas; these about the lacteal centers, especially. This would be done by the Packs and the Massages. These should be given again, periodically; that we may keep the more perfect accord in ALL the segments along the cerebrospinal system, and keep the adhesions from forming - as much as practical - by the stimulation of lymph flow through the areas where these tendencies have been and are still indicated. These we find indicated more especially in the right side, or area from the upper lobe of the liver to the caecum area. 15. We would be mindful to keep the eliminations good. For this we would alternate laxatives between those of a mineral and of a vegetable nature - as the other stimulations are given through the Packs and Massages. If desired, INNER CLEAN here would be very well. Also that which supplies weight would be well, as in Psyllium or the like. 16. All of these should be considered in keeping the body- functionings good. 17. At times also there should be used the oils, or Petrolagar - but this always of the Alkalin nature rather than the Acid. 18. Then keep those things suggested in the diet and in the activities of the body; the outside exercise, all forms of exercise - not too severe, but that which requires activity in the open. Riding, rowing, walking - all of these should at times be a part of the experience for the entity. 19. And these as we find will continue to keep not only the attitude and the physical forces of the entity but of those about the entity much toward betterment. 20. Ready for questions. 21. (Q) What should be done for trouble with knee? (A) Increase the eliminations, and have the gentle massage occasionally with Peanut Oil. This would be good following the bath, all OVER the body, as well as more specifically that limb. 22. (Q) Why has not the body responded as indicated in Rdg. of last August that she would? (A) As indicated here, while there has been improvement there has NOT been all of the attitudes, all of those things that are a necessary part of the treatment for the improvement. When that information was given, it was precluded that what was suggested would be done in the manner indicated by ALL concerned. 23. (Q) Any other advice? (A) Keep the spiritual attitudes also as a part of the whole. These are necessary. For, know - as indicated in His promises - health as well as wealth comes from God. This abused, or misused - the individuals MUST pay! For God is not mocked. 24. We are through for the present. Two copies to Mr. [2345] Copy to Ass'n file

TEXT OF READING 2153-11 F 13 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 26th day of August, 1941, in accordance with request made by the father - Mr. [2345], Associate Member of the Ass''n for Research for Enlightenment, Inc.

PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [2344] and Mr. [2345]. READING Time of Reading 11:10 to 11:35 A.M. Eastern Daylight Saving Time. ..., W. Va. 1. GC: You will have before you the body of [2153], present in this house. You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions submitted, as I ask them: 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2153]. 3. As we find, there are gradual improvements in the physical, the mental and the spiritual forces as manifested through this body. 4. All of these have been indicated as necessary for the complete or full development of this bodymind and spiritual manifestation. 5. In the physical there appears at times some unsatisfactory reactions. This may be expected, until there has been a full coordination established between the spiritual, mental and physical forces of the body. 6. The phases of each of the body's manifestations are to be taken into consideration; and the applications that have been made, that are being made from time to time, are in keeping with those that will - as we find - gradually bring this coordination, which will bring the relief from those disturbances which have been and are in the present a part of the entity's experience. 7. From the physical angle, then, there still exists those adhesions in the areas designated; not as severe, to be sure, but still such as to bring those spasmodic reactions under a stress, either from any activity of an emotional nature or from conditions that may exist in the attempt of assimilation or digestion in the body, or some reflex action. 8. While these may appear severe at times, they are gradually being coordinated so that there may be an eradication of the causes in all phases. 9. And these then we would keep: 10. Occasionally have the regular periods of the Castor Oil Packs, also the osteopathic corrective forces to eliminate the adhesions through the gall duct, the lacteal duct and through the caecum area; coordinating those activities in the upper portion of the lumbar, the lower dorsal and through the cervical areas, with corrections made in those areas indicated from the lower portion of liver to the caecum. 11. Also we would keep those administrations, not of things as sedatives but those that have been used to allay the spasmodic reactions which occur in the body from those incoordinations. Do not overgive these, but they are helpful to the body; aiding in bringing the better conditions; until better conditions have been produced between the physical, the mental AND the spiritual forces. 12. DO let the body make for physical reactions towards helpful influences to others, through its mental and spiritual intuitions. Not so as to become disregarding of principle or of the influences for the welfare of itself or of those about the body, but in helping others self is helped the more.

13. These do, and as we find - Do not lose patience, do not become impatient. Do not become overanxious, but keep in that attitude of: 14. "NOT AS I WOULD BUT AS THOU SEEST FIT, O LORD. KEEP THOU THE PURPOSE OF EACH ABOUT THE ENTITY, AND MAY WE IN OUR PURPOSE, OUR DESIRE, NOT LOSE SIGHT OF THE MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL ASPECTS THAT MAY BE MANIFESTED THROUGH THE PURPOSES OF THE CREATIVE FORCES - OR GOD - WITH EACH INDIVIDUAL." 15. Let each of the parents keep that attitude; not as self-condemning, but know wherein there may have been or may be a weakness in impulse of ANY phase, if this activity is spiritualized in the purpose to have the Father-God direct, it may become the strength, the power, the ability to move every obstacle from the way of a purposeful activity in relationships not only to the individual entity, [2153], but to all phases of the relationships with others. 16. Do that. Not as in a spasmodic reaction, blowing hot and cold, overzealous one day and then again fearful and doubtful another. For, know - the strength, the health, the financial, the whole of an individual's purpose is in Him. For He is thy health, thy wealth, thy position, thy purpose - if ye will but make Him such. Not as to become fanatical or imposing upon others any tenet that would be or cause objections, but live in thine own inner self with that awareness which is His promise to thee, - "If ye will be my children, I will be thy God." 17. WHO may ask more? 18. Ready for questions. 19. (Q) One grain of pheno-barbital is being given the body thrice daily which seems to reduce the attacks to about once every five days. (A) As indicated, keep these in this way and manner; but because the attacks are allayed do not quit or leave off the other applications for removing the physical obstructions produced in the body. 20. (Q) Treatment prescribed, namely Castor Oil applications and osteopathic manipulation, have been discontinued since the end of July. Has this proven a setback, or otherwise, to the improvement of the body? (A) As just indicated, it will prove a setback; and there will be developed those reactions that would become very obnoxious. We would then have regular periods of following those applications indicated. It is not necessary that these be made to become JUST a formality to be gone through with, any more than the mental and spiritual. For, know in self that God is not "bought off," nor is there that intent - physical, mental or spiritual - that any act is to be done for PERSONAL good, other than as that personal good may enable this individual (as well as the parents) to be a better channel for the spiritual manifestation, - the better channel for the spirit, the purpose of the Creative Forces in the earth. So, at least have regular periods; whether it is for a month to two months, a rest period of two to three weeks and then again another month, keep these consistently. Not merely as something to be gotten through with, but something that is to be accomplished. See it in thy mind. For, remember the Mind is the Builder. If it is negative, or doubting, how can it build properly? 21. (Q) Advise if there is any drug beside pheno-barbital that will prevent or reduce the number of attacks while the body is receiving the treatments prescribed in the Readings? If so, what is its name and how often should it be taken? (A) There may be others, but as this is effective - while its effectiveness is in keeping with those things to be accomplished - we would maintain same.

22. (Q) Prescribe a detailed schedule of treatments, advising how often and how long the oil administrations are to be applied and the osteopathic manipulations are to be given. (A) As just indicated, this should be determined by those assisting to administer the helpful forces. For, these are not to become merely a matter of rote; neither are they to become as things to be disliked, or as to be accomplished this or that because some factor indicated it. But as purposefulness! Whether it is to be a month, six weeks, two months, and then a rest period of two to three to four weeks, determine that in the own selves - and do it, consistently. For, remember, these are to be coordinant with the mental and spiritual activity not only of the body but of those that would have and see same administered. 23. (Q) Since it has been indicated in several previous Readings that the attitudes of either or both parents has not been entirely correct, please advise in detail what should be their proper mental attitudes, so that the body can be assured of maximum improvement. (A) This must be of free-will, and of purposefulness in the minds, the hearts and the purposes of the individual parents. As to HOW, - this may not be said in Pick up sticks today, Go to church tomorrow, or Give the alms to this or that. But the basis is, "My spirit - saith the Lord - beareth witness with thy spirit," or, as it has been given by Him of old, the lawgiver, "Think not as to who would descend from heaven that ye might receive direction or a message, or who would come from over the sea, for Lo, He is within thine own heart." Thy body, then, is indeed the temple, the tabernacle of the living God. There He hath promised to meet each soul that seeks to know His way. Not then by longfacedness, not then by shouting this or that, but lo - as He gave - the "still small voice within" indicates to each individual as to whether or not the purpose is aright in His sight. Seek then in that attitude as indicated: "NOT MY WAY, LORD, BUT THINE. BE THOU THE GUIDE. SHOW THE WAY. DIRECT IN THAT WE CHOOSE TO DO." And know that the answer comes within self. 24. (Q) The parents of the entity have been considering entering her in a private school for the purpose of enabling her to continue her education, obtain companionship of girls her own age (that she is now unable to secure at home, on account of her illness), and to have a change of environment. Advise if this would be beneficial to the body. (A) This would be beneficial to the body provided those who were in charge were in sympathy with the spiritual and mental forces needed in this coordination. There are many such places where such coordinated activity may be obtained. Choose thou. But let it, of course, be in keeping with the mind and the body of [2153]. 25. (Q) Which of the two schools under consideration is the most advisable: The Devereau School of Devereau, Penna., or the Wood School of Philadelphia? [Woods School, Langhorne, Penna.] (A) Let [2153] choose! The Wood School, we find, is more in the spiritual atmosphere needed. But let [2153] choose. 26. (Q) Is there any other school that you would suggest for her to choose from? (A) There are several about Philadelphia. Pope School, [Rosehill School] as well as the DeBau (?) [Devereaux?].

27. (Q) Advise whether any change in the treatments is to be made? (A) As indicated, we would merely keep those that have been indicated, in a consistent manner, in regular periods chosen by the body as well as those responsible for the body-activity in the present. 28. (Q) Will she need an attendant in the school? (A) The more she can rely upon self and that being gained, the better for the body. There will later be the needs of an attendant. 29.

PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. READING Time of Reading 10:35 to 10:45 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., West Va. 1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them: 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2153]. 3. As we find, the conditions show changes - and in many respects these are very much improved at times more than others. 4. There is a reverting to those disturbing forces of every nature that have been indicated through the body, or arising from those conditions that have been indicated. 5. In the present there is the forming rather of an irritation to the coordination between cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous systems. The allaying of same brings about, of course, helpful forces in some respects. 6. And so long as those attitudes are kept that are necessary in the relationships to those about or responsible for the body, there are better conditions. When there is any resentment, or emotional or material upset, there is an irregularity to the tendencies - and irritations arise. 7. These find a reflection in the activities in the body as indicated. 8. We would keep most all of those things that have been suggested. 9. Periodically, or regularly, we would have a series of the corrections osteopathically; especially as related to breaking up those adhesions and those tendencies for incoordinations in the body. The

adhesions are especially in those areas of the lacteal duct and the caecum, and those areas along the right side; while the tensions are in the lower cervicals and the upper dorsals. 10. We would now have the vibrations of the low Wet Cell Appliance, carrying only Spirits of Camphor - vibratorially - commercial strength. Make the attachments as follows: 11. The larger nickel plate, through which the Camphor passes vibratorially, would be attached at the lacteal duct and the umbilical center - or, for this body, about three fingers from the navel center to the right, and two fingers up. The small copper plate would be attached at the lumbar axis. 12. Make these attachments thirty minutes each day, as the body rests. 13. Change the Camphor solution every fifteen days. Renew the charge for the Appliance every thirty days. 14. Keep the attachment plates clean or polished, before and after using. 15. As for the acute conditions in the knee, or the limb here, - we would massage same with salt dampened with Pure Apple Vinegar. If the body wants to be in motion, just massage this into the area. But when the body is resting, this mixture may be put on a cloth or gauze and bound on - not too tight - for an hour, twice or three times a day. 16. We would keep the activities physically and mentally as has been indicated; staying close to the diets outlined, if we would bring the bettered conditions for the body. 17. The use of the allaying drug we would keep, but do not take so much as to interfere with those other applications that are indicated. 18. Do these things, as we find, and we will bring the better influences for this body. 19. We are through for the present.

TEXT OF READING 2155-3 M 23 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Va. Beach, Va., this 8th day of August, 1932, in accordance with request made by his father, Dr. [539], Active Member of the Ass''n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mildred Davis. READING Time of Reading 3:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Illinois. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2155]. Now, as we find, in many respects the conditions that have been and are disturbing in the physical forces of the body are improved. We find those repressions that make for the disturbing of the mental and physical coordination in the equilibrium of the body show some improvement. There is greater mental reaction towards normalcy. Not that the body is near normal, or that the disturbing factors have been entirely eliminated, or even quieted, but the general attitude, the general aptitude of the body is bettered. 2. We would keep those applications that are being made for the body, in the magnetic forces and also the vibrations from the Radio-Active Appliance. Also we would keep those attempts at quietness, perseverance, consistency, in the activities of others, as well as trying to arouse the same within the active forces of the body. 3. There are those impactions in the caecum, and the area of the appendicial region, that form those reactions which make pressures - also with the lyden and genitive glands in the system. It would be most helpful to keep rather that tendency for a full, complete reaction of the alimentary canal in its eliminations. 4. These others we would keep in the manner that has been outlined. 5. Do not give up. Do not lose patience with self, nor with the activities of the body itself. 6. Ready for questions. 7. (Q) What lies behind the impulse to break glass, only to have this followed by a restlessness for having it repaired? (A) The subconscious forces that tend to make for activities through impulses carried over from other experiences. These are hardships upon others, yet are of that nature that shows - if these can be, will be, turned into CONSTRUCTIVE intents and purpose, through patience, persistence these will make for that enabling the healing to be brought for the disorders in system. 8. (Q) What advice does the Intelligence of Undifferentiated Spirit give in order that the normal may be established? (A) As given, keep that which has been outlined. The vibrations in system created by the action of the magnetic forces on the system, in the manner outlined - as well as keeping the alimentary canal more active in this particular area. As we find, one of the best things that may be used for this particular condition is that found in the formula called Castoria, which carries the least of the habit-forming and more of the principles that work with a general system. When given, give very small quantities often. Half a teaspoonful given every half an hour is better than the whole of a half ounce, or ounce, given in two to three doses. 9. (Q) Is placing him back into the institution advisable or not? (State Hospital at Bartonville, Ill., about ... miles from home) (A) These conditions in the surroundings, to be sure, work many hardships upon those who are to deal with the situations as they arise. We would at least not alter, in the present, in the attempt to bring about those corrections that will be PERMANENT to the whole of the ENTITY'S being; for while in the institution care and attention of an unusual nature is given, these conditions CANNOT be met as well there as by those who are responsible for the advent of the entity into this experience. Be patient. Be kind. Be long suffering. Faint not in well doing, for with every trial and tribulation there is also prepared a way of escape. In Him IS life, light, and understanding. Be faithful to the trust that has been put into thine keeping; not as a burden, but that self and self's abilities are spent in redeeming a soul from that environ of itself's own undoing, that will make for the resuscitation of life in a way and manner that will not only bring joy, happiness, harmony, peace to the body itself, but to those that overcome.

10. (Q) What can we do to perfect ourselves against the inharmony, worry and confusion that exists usually under these conditions? (A) Trust more and more in HIS love, His power, that is manifest in thine ministry through HIM to KNOW the way that He would have thee go. 11. We are through for the present.

TEXT OF READING 3071-1 F 14 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 4th day of July, 1943, in accordance with request made by the mother Mrs. [...], new Associate Member of the Ass''n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by her sister-in-law, members of whose family had been helped by the readings. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. READING Time of Reading 3:45 to 4:10 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., S.C. 1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them: 2. EC: Yes - someone should have told her to keep the time. 3. We have the body here, [3071]. 4. As we find, there are definite disturbances in the physical forces of this body. 5. In giving the full analysis of the condition, we find that this is part of the individual entity's karma, as well as karma for those responsible for the entity. And these should be taken into consideration when there are administrations for the help that may come to the body. 6. Not that this is an impossible condition, but rather - as every karmic influence - there must be something done besides material things, not only about but for the body; that it may gain the fuller concept of that the activity of that force or influence called LIFE is in the material plane. 7. As is understood, this is caused from a brain lesion. While it is not the central portion of brain, it is sufficiently near such as to cause the disturbances with reflexes in the brain. 8. As we have indicated heretofore, there may be applied those elements to a body in such a manner as to rebuild or to overcome such conditions in a physical body; provided there is consistency not only in the material application but in the mental attitude and in the spiritual purpose of those responsible, or those that would respond to doing something for the body.

9. That others - as here - take hold to do something about it, that are not responsible - does not mitigate nor release those whose real responsibility it is. 10. Then, in making for the coordination in body in such a manner that this may be aided, - we find that while the cerebrospinal system as hindered, and the coordinating centers from brain through the system cause the flexes in areas where locomotion is hindered, this has to do with the sympathetic nervous system. 11. As indicated, this is not a scar, then, nor scar tissue in central portion, nor is it adhered to the cranium itself. It is well cushioned about, yet there needs to be the character of application that would not only tear down the scar tissue made but replenish or rebuild the nerve tissue itself in brain center. 12. This may be considered impossible, by some pathologists, or neurologists, or even some anatomists. Yet such has been done, and it may be done, in some instances. 13. This began from birth, and now is at the second cycle. Of course, unless the correction is done before the third cycle, or the proper elements added before that time, the condition may then not be changed. For it would become encased itself, again, within what may be called the third or fourth layer of scar tissue in the brain itself. 14. But the principal portion or elements needed in this particular body are Gold, Silver and Camphor. These are activative in nerve tissue. 15. Then, while it will require time, and patience, and a great deal of persistence on the part of those who would bring help or relief to the body, we find that changes may be brought about. 16. First, as indicated, it is necessary that there be faith in the divine. What is life itself? That influence or force one calls God, or nature. It is understood that each seven years is a cycle, and that the body is renewed in itself from its first plasmatic cell. 17. Now, the influences needed here are Gold, Silver and Camphor; Gold to the gray matter in nerve tissue itself; Silver in the cord of the white matter - that is the principal element or force or influence; Camphor as a healing agent - or that works with, or between, the two elements (in a vibratory force). 18. Then, for this body, - we would prepare the low Wet Cell Appliance, carrying into the body vibratorially, and alternately - the properties of Gold, Silver and Camphor. 19. The Appliance should be charged with a comparatively strong reaction, using - in the gallon and a half of Rain or Distilled Water, at least: Copper Sulphate.............2 pounds, Sulfuric Acid C.P.......1 1/2 ounces, Zinc........................6 drams. Little or no Charcoal need be in this solution, for this particular body. For the charge should be changed every twenty-eight days; not every thirty days but every twenty-eight days. 20. And every fourteen days make a new solution of the properties to be carried vibratorially into the system; that is, after each solution has been used fourteen times, renew the solution. 21. Attach the Appliance each day for thirty minutes, one day using the Gold, the next day the Silver, the next day the Camphor, and so on.

22. The Gold Solution should be in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold to each ounce of Distilled Water, and use at least three ounces of the solution. 23. The Silver Solution should be a two percent Nitrate of Silver solution, and this only in alcohol AND water as a two percent solution. 24. The Spirits of Camphor would be used commercial strength. 25. Each day the nickel plate, the large nickel plate, through which the solution passes vibratorially, (first day the Gold, second day the Silver, third day the Camphor, and so on), would be attached over the lacteal and umbilicus plexus, or - on the body - three fingers from the navel center to the right, directly. 26. When using the Gold Solution, the small copper plate would be attached to the 9th dorsal. 27. The next day when using the Silver Solution, attach the small Copper plate to the 2nd lumbar center. 28. The third day when using the Camphor, attach the copper plate to the 4th lumbar center. 29. Keep alternating these in this manner. Make the attachment for thirty minutes each day, but one day using the Gold, the next day the Silver, the next day the Camphor, in that order. 30. Use a separate container for each of these solutions. Also use a separate leaden wire, or separate top, for each of these. 31. Do take the connections from their containers when not in use. 32. Only connect these about twenty minutes before the attachments are to be made to the body. 33. Each day following the use of the Appliance, massage the body - gently but thoroughly - with Peanut Oil; especially at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dorsal, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th lumbar. These are the areas or centers from which we find the connections with the various portions of the body affected. 34. This massage is not to be given as something to be hurried through with, at any time, - whether it takes five years or seven years! But each day take the time, - patiently, prayerfully, - that it will perform in the body those elements and those attitudes, those conditions, as to correct the disturbances of the body. 35. And, if these are done, we will find that these will bring helpful forces for this body, [3071]. 36. Ready for questions. 37. (Q) Is her present adolescent age increasing her trouble? (A) As indicated, this is a cycle of change. Not necessarily increasing, but making it more aggravating to the mind of the body. 38. (Q) Must we continue with the use of sedatives indefinitely? (A) Not necessary to continue the use of sedatives if these applications as indicated are consistently and regularly given. If there are the periods when there tends to be convulsions, use the sedatives - but after a period of six to twelve months these should be eliminated - that is, the sedatives.

39. (Q) Will there be a gradual change or none at all for some time? (A) If it takes seven years, it will require - certainly - a gradual change! Do these things, and - remember - first the spiritual, then the mental, and the physical is secondary to the attitude of those about the body. But do it consistently, persistently, or DON'T begin it! 40. We are through for the present. Two copies to Mother Copy to Ass'n file (See extra copy [which was enclosed] reg. Wet Cell Appliance.)

We find that the mental attitude of the body has much to do with the condition, as well as those about the body. 4. If there is the attempt to prevent the body from having the general, normal activity, or if there is any fear or doubt created, there will not be the ability to give the full, complete use of hands and limbs proper, as may be if there will be the full coordination. 5.

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3156]. 3. As we find, there are conditions that disturb the physical, the mental, and the soul entity. This we find is a prenatal condition; and must be met by the body as well as by those responsible for the body. 4. It should not be delegated too oft, then, to someone else to administer those influences in the body-physical or mental for the correction of the disturbance. 5. We find that there is a lesion in the lacteal duct area affecting the activities of the pineal gland; causing those periods of incoordination at the 1st and 2nd cervical, causing spasmodic reaction to the mental body or those losses of hold on self, or the control of the rational body-mind. 6. For one hour each day, for at least three days in succession, we would apply the hot Castor Oil Packs over the lacteal duct and liver area. Use three thicknesses of flannel preferably old flannel saturated with Castor Oil. Apply directly to the body, covering with an oil cloth to prevent soiling linens, and then apply an electric pad. Apply these as hot as can be well stood by the body. 7. On the evening of the third day following the 3rd pack take internally an equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil; that is a tablespoonful of each. 8. Then have, the next day, an osteopathic adjustment; coordinating the 1st, 2nd, 3rd cervical, the 3rd and 4th dorsal, the 9th dorsal and then the lumbar axis. 9. Do these consistently.

10. Rest from all applications for five days then repeat this whole procedure. First the series of all packs followed by the combination of Oils taken internally and then the osteopathic treatment. 11. Rest five days then repeat, and so on. 12. In the food keep away from too much starches. 13. Keep the mental suggestions to the body that there will be no recurrent condition of the spasms. 14. Do these and we will find we will bring better conditions for this body. 15. With the beginning of these treatments, should there occur during the day one of the spasms, put a good big pinch of dry salt on the tongue - no water but the dry salt. This will relax the body quickly, and should - with these treatments - bring the body out of such lapses. 16. The mental suggestions had better be made by the parents as the body loses consciousness in sleep. 17. We will bring help if there is persistence and if, in the lives of the mother and father, there is consistent living of that they pray for. 18. The rest of the body we find responding very well. Brain reflexes are good. At times, as indicated, there are some reflexes to the organs of the sensory system; the eyes hurt the body, the hearing is not so keen after some of these spasms. 19. DO NOT give sedatives to the body, if it is at all possible to keep from it. 20. Do that. 21. We are through with this reading.

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time with suggestions for further corrective measures, answering the questions, as I ask them: 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. While there is much here to be desired, the body is gradually showing improvements. It is a long way from being in full possession of all the physical and mental reactions. There would be a gradual diminishing of the phenobarbitol. 3. There are the needs for the greater amount of prayer and the gentle massage. 4. We would begin the use of the Castor Oil Packs over the abdomen. Afterward, as the massage is given, there will gradually be attained better use of the body-forces. To be sure the massage is objectionable to the body at times because of tenderness in the area of the curvatures in spine and because of the tendency for drawing the limbs, and from the unbalanced condition in the pelvic bone. 5. Do not attempt to stand the body on its feet too often. Let this activity be a natural result of the equilibrium being brought; for as this is accomplished there will be the attempt to stand or move in the direction of being more erect. 6. Do these and keep close to those applications suggested. 7. Ready for questions. 8. (Q) What can be done to induce natural bowel movements and overcome constipation? (A) This will be gradually accomplished by obtaining better activity through abdominal area, the liver, and the activity of the alimentary canal, by the use of the Oil Packs and massage - gently given. 9. (Q) Is there any physical abnormality of the intestines? (A) Only the effect of sedatives and the lack of natural flow of the lymph that is dried by same and the tendencies for adhesions through alimentary canal. These are not abnormalcies under the existent conditions but will require very careful massage so that there is not too much strain given. The Oil Packs we would use at least two, three, four times a week, letting as much oil be absorbed as possible in this direction. 10. (Q) Is there any improvement mentally or physically not noticeable to us? (A) As indicated, there is a general improvement. Most of this is in the desires being created in the mental self by reflexes. 11. (Q) What causes her to fall into a deep unnatural sleep suddenly from which it is almost impossible to wake her? (A) As just indicated, the incoordination between the physical, mental and spiritual being. For it is the desire on the part of the mother that is even keeping the body alive. 12. (Q) When she breathes rapidly, then holds her breath, distending the abdominal wall, is she using this as a defense against pain? (A) The adhering through the abdomen. This is not bad for the body but it is bad for those who observe it. 13. (Q) The lower ribs protrude at all times. (A) This tends to dilate some, of course, and with the physical condition of the body it becomes more noticeable. This is not an abnormalcy.

14. (Q) The lips turn blue, she seems to be in a semi-conscious state following the repeated abnormal breathings. (A) All of these are those conditions arising from the circulation and the small quantity of blood rushing to the central nerve system and blood supply, leaving the superficial abnormalcy in the amount. Massage, of course, and suggestion, can keep the nearer to the correct reaction. 15. (Q) Are any foods responsible for the gas formation or mucous in the intestines? (A) As indicated, these arise from the lack of proper flow and distribution. No, those foods that are most easily assimilated, those nearer to being already predigested. These are the better foods for the body. The use of the Oil Packs and occasionally a small quantity of water used in an enema for the colon, so that it may be cleansed, would be most beneficial. This would relieve the tension, relieving the gas and removing the mucous. 16. (Q) Have any corrections as suggested in the reading been made? (A) Partially in some of the suggestions, but we should begin now as outlined, especially with the suggestion - you see, it has been more a matter of suggestion to the body, care, attention in love. 17. (Q) Has the treatment for the spinal curvature produced any relief to the body? (A) This has brought relief that should be kept up and mostly now by the use of the oils in the attempt to relieve tensions. 18. (Q) Are the treatments too severe? (A) Not too severe. 19. (Q) Should any adjustments be made to the neck osteopathically? (A) From the third cervical upward, yes. 20. (Q) Why does she usually object to even a simple massage of the legs and feet? (A) As indicated, the straining in the pelvis balance and this will gradually now be corrected. 21. (Q) Is it fear or pain she feels when I attempt to put her in a standing position? (A) Read what has been indicated as to how these should be allowed to be the natural results from the efforts of the body itself as it begins to improve. This is pain and fear. 22. (Q) Should she have the support of shoes at this time? (A) Not as yet. 23. (Q) One leg seems to be shorter than the other. Is this caused by a malformation of bone structure in the pelvic region, leg, or is it due to spinal curvature? (A) As just indicated, the balance in the pelvis. 24. (Q) What causes a periodic disturbance in the region of the vagina? (A) This is a portion of the alimentary canal tension or lesions, or adhesions. These will gradually diminish or be disseminated as the elasticity in regard to the bowel movement is brought to better improvement. 25. (Q) Should the oils suggested in the reading be used for the massages now? (A) As just indicated. 26. (Q) What can be done to reduce the thickened gum tissues? (A) The setting up of better drainages in the body. The circulation is above the diaphragm, hence it tends to thicken the activities above same. As these stresses and strains are removed this will become better. The changes in the circulation along the cervical areas will also relieve these tensions. For we must gradually create, by the massages and by the corrections, more normal

reactions. As indicated, there is improvement but there's a long way to go. Coordination must gradually be established between impulses; that is, suggestions as they react upon the sympathetic system and the activity of the central nerve and blood supply - through the brain coordinating with lungs, heart, liver and kidneys. Do these in the manner given. 27. We are through with this reading. Two copies to Mother - Air Mail Special Delivery - (one for Dr. Dick) Copy to Ass'n file " under case number for indexing

GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them: 2. EC: Yes. Here we have conditions where there may be the blame physically upon the indiscretion of the father. In reality it is the combination of self meeting self, and still the physical indiscretion of the parent. 3. Here we have conditions, then, that are prenatal that are causing the seizures that are a part of the experience of this entity. 4. These can be relieved. It will almost require the training of the body mentally to rely upon the divine within. 5. Here we find the better association would be with a nurse or a constant companion, almost all the while - or in regular periods, at least; one such as a student of Unity or Christian Science. 6. You see, these groups have something on the church - that the church has left out ordinarily. They trust in the divinity of the Christ wholly set as a central theme of the mind. 7. This is needed in this particular entity individually, so that the personality and the mental self may take on not the extremes in either but the universality of the Christ-Consciousness in the individuality and personality of this entity. 8. Pathologically, there are lesions in the lacteal duct area and in the 1st, 2nd and a portion of the 3rd cervical. These need physical applications.

9. To be sure, this would be contrary to the teachings of either of these groups - yet if there would be help there must be the consideration of all phases. 10. Remember, the Christ in person used water, clay, spittle and other ingredients for application in physical conditions. These groups would do well to learn this, or those who act as healers at least. 11. In the applications for this body, then: 12. Use a fusion of Passion Flower; the vine, the leaf, the fruit - dried. To a gallon measure of this, in an enamel container, put a gallon and a half of water - preferably distilled water. Reduce by slow simmering. Do not put this in tin or aluminum but rather in an enamel container, with an enamel or glass cover. Reduce by slow boiling until there is only one-half gallon of the solution when strained off. Add to this one pint of grain alcohol, 85% to 95% proof. 13. Take a teaspoonful of this four times each day, until at least half the quantity has been taken. 14. Also for one hour each day, three days in succession each week, apply the Castor Oil Packs over the gall duct and the lacteal duct area, extending all the way to the caecum or appendix area, using an electric pad to retain the heat for one hour. When removing the Pack, each time sponge off the area with a weak soda water. Then massage thoroughly the whole area; not so as to bruise but as to break up the lesions through the area. For this massage we would use an equal combination of Pine Oil and Olive Oil. 15. Each week, the day after the three-day series of the Oil Packs, take internally two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil - and when this has acted it would be followed by a high enema or a colonic irrigation. 16. If the Castor Oil Packs are taken the first three days in the week, then during the latter portion of the week have an osteopathic treatment to make corrections in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th cervicals. 17. Do these. 18. And if we pray, and live like we pray, we will heal this body. 19. Ready for question. 20. We are through with this Reading.

GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them: 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3437]. 3. As we find, there are disturbances that prevent the normal reactions with this body. These are very definite and have a definite source. 4. These come from two injuries to the body; one first that occurred with the end of the spine - and it will be noted that it is still tender at times, the coccyx end of the spine. The other injury was at the 2nd cervical. 5. From these we have definite lesions formed that cause spasmodic reactions during periods of activity in the assimilating system, or from the areas in the upper or general lacteal duct. 6. These are the causes of the disturbances. 7. The brain forces have not been injured. Do not give the body an overdose of any form of sedative. Very small doses of belladonna under the direction of a physician may be given, if there are any more severe attacks. For these lesions have been of such a length of period that corrections will necessarily have to be made, and these may cause reflexes such as to produce (the corrections) one or two violent reactions - though not as severe as some, provided sweets are kept from the body. 8. In making the applications - first begin with the applying of hot Castor Oil Packs over the lacteal duct area; that is, the whole right side, from rib to the caecum area, extending at least half way over the abdomen. Do this for an hour each day for at least five days in succession. Each time when removing the Pack, (and preferably give these when the body rests or sleeps) sponge off with a weak soda water. Then massage the area gently with Cocoa Butter. 9. After the five days of applying the Packs, begin with corrections osteopathically

made; 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th cervicals, and in the coccyx and sacral end of spine. Have at least four or five of these made, about four days apart. Let one such as Irvin make these adjustments. This will require the relaxing and then the making of adjustments. 10. If there is the reaction of an attack, give a small quantity of belladonna (under the physician's direction) and then a good eliminant. 11. After a period of two or three of these applications - that is, series - these should correct and make normal conditions for the body. 12. Ready for questions. 13. (Q) Do you mean begin the osteopathic treatments after the five days of using the Castor Oil Packs? (A) As indicated, give the Oil Packs for an hour each day for five days. These should be kept warm by changing, rather than by using an electric pad; and hot cloths may be kept over same to hold the heat and to make for absorption of the oils by the body. 14. (Q) Can the baby see? (A) The baby can see. 15. (Q) What was the nature of the injuries, and when did they occur? (A) The first one was at the end of the spine. The other one came later, when the body in some manner was jerked - or the effect was to jerk the cervical areas. 16. (Q) If treatments are carefully followed, is it indicated how long it will be before the baby can be normal? (A) As just indicated. Do that, and we will have near normal conditions for this body. 17.

Eastern War Time. ..., Pennsylvania. 1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them: 2. EC: Yes, we have the conditions here with this body, [3438]. 3. There is quite a difference of opinion in the minds of individuals respecting the sources or causes of a disturbance of this nature. Parts of these are tendencies or inclinations, and part are accident. Of course, questions arise, disputations as to those who were physicists, or those who are realists, or those who are spiritualists. But what is needed in all is to coordinate the best in each into spirituality, and we will approach what's needed then for correction of conditions here. 4. When there are such disturbances we as individuals either believe, or think maybe it will happen, or just don't know, that the Book is correct. Who healeth thy diseases? Who is life? What is life in the earth? What is it that the physical being uses as its way of animation? He doesn't control it - it was never given to him - it happened - it came into being. Why? 5. If man would think of these and from these points he would get a different vision of the relationship of himself to God and more as to that manifestation of God in the earth in the ChristConsciousness, manifested by the man Jesus. 6. Here we find there is an injury that is a contributing factor. This, we will find, is in the coccyx and the sacral end of spine. This is more to the left side, and thus a lesion is gradually forming - or a pack - in the right area of the larger lacteal duct center, just below the liver and gall duct area, where there is the first great quantity of patches of the ducts that drain the chyle as it passes into the activities from the gastric flow from liver, spleen, pancreas and all of these activities. 7. Then, when there is food taken, or sweets especially, or fats, this causes the spasmodic contraction. 8. The taking of sedatives will gradually cause this to become heavier and heavier. For sedatives tie-up, contract all of those activities of the general ducts and glands through the system, making the body - the brain forces - dull, heavy, as they react. 9. Here we would correct the conditions in the sacral and the coccyx area by direct osteopathic adjustments, and break up the lesions in the lacteal duct area. 10. Each time before such an adjustment is to be made, apply heavy Glyco-Thymoline Packs with heat, and then massage the area. 11. Then have a great deal of prayer, and live like you pray. Don't pray that you will forgive, and then say hard things about your neighbor. This is part of the activity of father and mother. These are parts of their karma as well as of this body developing. This may be corrected. Do it. 12. Ready for questions. 13. We are through for the present.

GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them: 2. EC: As we find, there are disturbances. These are the effects of indiscretions in the body of the parent of this entity, as well as the prenatal or karmic debt of the entity itself, [3603]. 3. These may be materially aided. They will not be entirely relieved through mechanical applications alone; that is, from just pathological conditions. For these conditions are also in the mental and soul self, and the greater help will come with these applications being followed while the body is in the care of someone who would give constant spiritual counsel - as a Unity student or Science student - yet these would interfere with the mechanical or pathological conditions to be corrected, for they are very definite. Or one of spiritual or divine science rather than Christian Science who would give the body counsel in its developing era or period of unfoldment of spiritual self, of body emotions, of mental abilities, to correct these relationships and these activities - from the spiritual desire to be clean every whit. 4. Few people have considered that injunction regarding being perfect in the day and generation, or clean every whit. These are body, mind and soul. 5. Pathologically we find there are those adhesions in the lacteal duct area as associated or connected with the pubic centers in this body. These cause, when there is the digestion or when there are activities of certain elements or environs, what might be called seizures, falling sickness, epilepsy or the contraction or spasmodic condition in the area of the 1st and 2nd cervical, where the emotions through the superficial circulation or the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal system do

not coordinate in their entrance to brain reflexes. 6. If there will first be, then, this training in spiritual desires, the determination of the body-mind to be every whit clean from the spiritual self, the mental self, we would then make these applications: 7. For an hour each day, three days in succession each week (the same three days each week), we would apply Castor Oil Packs. After each three-day series, take internally at least two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil. 8. Do this for at least three weeks, then leave off for six weeks, and so on. 9. But after each application do give the body a massage especially to break up the lesions in the areas of the lacteal duct and in the connections of the sympathetic or glandular centers at the head of the pubic area. While the pubic centers are not to be covered with the oil packs, do use the massages here after these corrections will be physically made. 10. Use the Radio-Active Appliance for an hour each day just before retiring at night. Keep the attachment plate very clean. While there will be nothing felt in the vibrations from these, do make these applications - and through that period study the scripture, or teach it to the body - whoever would direct this phase of the entity's experience. 11. Do these and we will bring better conditions for the body, [3603]. 12. Ready for questions. 13. (Q) What is the best environment for the child? (A) As just indicated, the association in Divine Science, Unity or Christian Science, provided they do not require that the body be kept from making these administrations for the physical and mental self. 14. (Q) What is the best way to discipline her? (A) This will be in the same manner suggested. And if there is not found the response within, there will never be the response without - you might as well put the body away. 15. (Q) If a special school would be best for her, what school? (A) This will be school enough if you will follow these. If there is to be any special training, that along the line of mathematics and geography should be a part of the experience, but study the scripture itself - this should be sufficient. This is not to make the body goody-goody. It should be joyous in its activities. 16. We are through with this reading. Two copies to Mother (one for Mrs. H. B.

day of May, 1924, in accordance with request made by his father. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Linden Shroyer, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Geo. S. Klingensmith. READING Time of Reading 5:00 P. M. ..., Ohio. 1. EC: Now, we find there are many abnormal conditions, and these have to do, principally, with incoordination in the system and the effect that this has and does produce within the functioning organs. Now, these may be corrected in part and some entirely. These are the conditions as we find at the present time. First: 2. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this well balanced. However, this is not in normal condition throughout. 3. In the nerve system do we find the principal cause and conditions that need to be corrected. First, we find in the pineal nerve center itself an engorged condition, and this in the centers where the nerve ganglions of other functioning organs are joined shows the effect as is produced in these centers, which produce incoordination and at times the reaction, without the ability of the according forces creating the perfect equilibrium in the balance of the system to function normally, so that the involuntary action at times becomes voluntary and vice versa. This we find gives then in the pneumogastric hypogastric center this reaction that comes to the digestive tract, and only being that which prevents from the blood supply being in the normal forces, yet hindering in many of the functionings of the organs, as is indicated in these centers that are involved in the condition. This we find produces then the reaction and the refractory reaction in the nerve system. 4. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find this prevents also the coordination as is brought to the system in the brain supply itself in directing the functioning of all of the sensory system in their proper channel and manner. Hence all of the sensory organs themselves function under the influence of these conditions as created in the centers as indicated from the pineal nerve to the base of body. This we find has been produced by lesions as have been caused and were caused and scar as produced in the nerve tract itself, and the whole nerve itself is larger or abnormal in its size. 5. Then to give the best to this system, and to overcome and bring in the physical body that which would be of a betterment to the whole condition, and to correct the conditions that we may have coordination, we will have, as we shall see, a condition that must be taken with pains and with consistent and persistent usage of same to bring about the correction in the body. 6. First, we would give in the system that tea or the tincture as is made from the maypop flower, and which is we find already prepared. First, we would not give this as is indicated by the dosage of the body itself (that is of the properties as manufactured) but three to five drops twice each day should be given. 7. Also prepare for the body the vibrations as would be found in this: To one gallon and a half of rain water, we would add: Heavy Sea Salt............1 pound, Charcoal..................1 pound, Copper Sulphate.......1 1/2 pounds, Sulphuric Acid C.P....1 1/4 ounces,

Common Zinc...............8 drams. 8. This we find would charge itself, but should be charged with a high voltage and low amperage for at least thirty minutes to fifty minutes, or until the discharge from the solution will give at least five and one-half ohms. 9. While this is being charged, have an opaque container holding and containing one pound of iodine in the solution. Let this remain in the solution tightly corked while being charged and while the vibrations from same are being accorded the body. Charge it with heavy plates or poles. One of nickel, the other of copper. Positive, copper, negative, nickel. These poles after being charged would be attached small insulated wires. To the positive pole would be attached a thin copper plate, small, that would be attached to the body at the first cervical, or where the spinal column cord enters the brain proper. The opposite pole, or negative, would have a large thin plate of silver to the pole, and this would be attached to the body just to the left and below the umbilicus. This should be attached and applied to the body for at least one hour each afternoon or evening. This we find, with these medicinal properties and with this vibration, will so change the body that it will then be necessary to change the treatment that should be accorded the body. Then it will be given from here. 10. We are through for the present.

You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. 3. Now, we find there are those abnormal conditions with this body that may be corrected, were the condition taken in time, with the development of the physical body, for the condition exists in the development of conditions in the body that, with the cycle of developments, would bring either that condition which becomes a portion of the physical being, and becomes a normal condition for the body in the system adjusting itself to this abnormality. 4. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body: 5. The history, or the condition in its inception began with that as happened in the body at the time of birth, and in the manner the condition was handled at the time, for we see there was a mispresentation at birth, and in the relieving of the mother injury was produced in spine that has never been corrected. Hence the condition of this condition bringing other forces to bear in the system that would keep this as produced in development a normal force for body. The injury occurred in the sacral region. Hence the pressure as produced on the glands that feed directly to the

brain from the system in the inception, or to the central portion of body. Hence the condition becomes in the manner it has been attended in the body - one of a gland trouble and also of a blood trouble, for being in that position where, when the blood supply cut off, and the body beginning in its development to depend upon nourishment and nutriment furnished through its own organs, this, as the system developed, brought about that of the ducts that carry new blood to the system of preventing, not only normal development being under way, but apparently under nourished; yet this condition produced by this pressure as is caused in the first portion of the sacral in body. The tissue as involved in the first portion developed normally in the eighteenth month - after other conditions brought about accentuation in the system of an equilibrium necessary to be kept in system - this accentuating other functionings brought those conditions as exist. 6. The condition, then, as we find, the blood low in its rebuilding. Subnormal, then, in number of leukocytes and in red blood. The tendency at times of becoming abnormally anemic, or that appearance without the action of same in other portions of the system. 7. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, a general nervous debilitation, with periods of incapable of keeping a normal equilibrium. Development fast through certain of the sensory system or organs of same, by the giving of over incentive in portions of the brain, yet causing the body to contract in other portions, through retraction. 8. In the general functioning organs, all are very good, save as is seen the accentuation through any congestion, or as would be termed a body easy subject to any sudden change. 9. To meet the needs, then, of the conditions at the present time, we would, through the manipulation, osteopathically given, make those corrections as will be found necessary along the cerebro-spinal system. This, as we see, will take several such adjustments, for those vibrations of magnetic electrical forces should be applied with the treatments - that is, BODY electricity from the hands of the manipulator - that is, one with dry palms, rubbing hands well together until the heat and friction produce that form of vibration as is necessary to reach the centers as these are being applied to in the sacral and in the lumbar region; keeping, of course, the full manipulation for the centers of the locomotaries, both in the sacral and in the arms, as to all portions of the body. 10. AFTER these vibrations have been applied for at least thirteen such treatments, then we would begin applying those rays from the Alpine Light, or mercury crystal light, for the clarifying of the blood. Then, after six to seven such treatments, which should be given at least three days apart, we would give further instructions for the complete correction of this body. 11. Do that at present. 12. We are through.

Time of Reading ... Street, 8:45 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ohio. 1. GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body that I will ask you. 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before. The physical condition shows some improvement, though there are those centers that still need correcting. Ready for questions. 3. (Q) Does the constipation have anything to do with convulsions? (A) The whole system being out of balance causes the reaction from those centers, producing the convulsions. Hence, directly and indirectly, the constipation is a portion of the disturbed condition that causes or produces, or assists toward the convulsions. The correction in those centers as govern the action of the intestinal system, the digestion, and the colon, should overcome the constipation, with the diet corrected for same, see? Hence, as is given, there are those centers in the cerebro-spinal system - 6th, and 7th dorsal, 10th and 11th dorsal, all need the adjustments and deep manipulation to bring about the normal incentive from each of these centers, see? as well as the massaging of the abdomen at the time such adjustments and treatments are given. 4. (Q) What causes the headaches? (A) Flow of blood to the head. Improper coordination in the circulation. Again we see, with this proper adjustment in the dorsal region, we will overcome that condition. Naturally, constipation causes headaches, from the contraction through the pneumogastric and hypogastric plexuses. Relieving this condition would relieve the headaches, as will also relieve the strain and pressure as is produced on those portions of the system as has been outlined for same. 5. (Q) Should I continue to be careful of diet? (A) Should continue to be very careful of the diet, and let those manipulations, osteopathically, be given in the special regions as has been shown here - the 6th, 7th dorsal, and the 10th and 11th dorsal - while the whole system needs adjustments, as it were, to these adjustments in these specific centers. These show the improper coordination in the digestive system, and the correction of these will bring about better corrections for the whole system. 6. That is all the questions. 7. We are through for the present.

P. Taylor. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Dr. and Mrs. T. B. House. READING Time of Reading 4:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Alabama. 1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you

find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. 2. EC: Now, we find that which produces the abnormal conditions in this body has to do with specific conditions that have existed in the physical body since the birth, for at that time there was an injury to the 1st cervical that, as the body has developed, the impaired condition, by the improper distribution, especially to that of the pituitary gland, has prevented the full-normal development in every manner, so that the equilibrium in the action of the nerve system in the system has been impaired, and this causes these conditions in the body that occur when the body is unable to keep its equilibrium. 3. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in this body. 4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this shows the heaviness for one of its age and development, produced, principally, by the impaired condition that exists in the plexus of the pneumogastric by this pressure in the 1st cervical. 5. The nerve system shows the strain as is brought to all centers by this inability of the system to keep its equilibrium, see? That is, when this condition of blood supply to the brain becomes overflowing, or over pressure, all the centers in nerve system relax, or contract, according to their own inflection from conditions under which that plexus is operating at the time such occurrence takes place. Hence, in this condition there are taut conditions along the spine, from the base of the brain to the brachial plexus. There are relaxed conditions in many frontal muscles, from the waist line down, see? Taut conditions in arms, drawing in all of those of the sensory system; affected at times, apparently, by eating; at others by those of the digestive system, or of the kidneys. ALL of these show how that this central nerve, from the pineal gland, runs through with the cord, as it were, in the spinal system, running outside, though, the spinal cord itself, though connected with same at the base of the brain and to the brain itself. 6. Without the correction, then, of this condition as has existed there from the time of the birth of the child (for, as we see, it was presented wrong when it was born), we will find that, were those properties given that submerge the condition, we create that which will take away from the mental development of same; though we find in a mental fashion the developments as normal, or supernormal, in some of the same age and same development. 7. Then, to bring about the correction of this condition will take persistence and consistent treatment for the individual at this time. 8. Take, as medicinal properties, that of the tea of Maypops, or Mayapple, see? 9. That treatment for the correction (see, this of the Maypop is for the nerve system and for the blood supply, as is hindered by the improper incentives through the connection between the glands at the base of the brain and the hypogastric nerve center, which governs the digestion and the assimilation in portions of the system), correct through the osteopathic adjustments, which is necessary, with making such corrections, that these be kept up (the adjustments) throughout the system for at least three cycles of the development, which would mean thirty-six (36) to forty-eight (48) days, see? 10. Do that. 11. (Q) In what proportion should this tea be made, and what quantity given? (A) This is already prepared, we see, by these properties, and this may be given half a teaspoonful - or, as the directions are as seen here, a few drops at the time, increasing to the half teaspoonful as the condition arises, see? These are made in Atlanta, Georgia.

12. (Q) Where may this be obtained in Atlanta, Georgia? (A) From the people that make it. As to who should treat this body, we would give such as that of Woodall. 13. We are through for the present.

TEXT OF READING 4678-2 F 9 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 21st day of September, 1926, in accordance with request made by her mother, Mrs. [...]. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. READING Time of Reading 11:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Alabama. 1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the further improvement of same, and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding same. 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before. (This country [is] also in devasted [devastated] territory, and damage was done about the place, we see.) 3. Now, as to the physical conditions of this body, these we find are greatly improved from that as we have had here before. The corrections in the cerebro-spinal system have been made to a great extent. These muscles and tissue about those centers where corrections have been made need stimulation through manipulation, and also occasionally these should be replaced to their normal position, that the incentives from the nerve centers as radiate from these may be brought to the normal condition. 4. Those properties as were to be given in the system to correct the digestion, and to stimulate the nerve forces in coming to their normal force, that the development of the entity might be normal, still need to be added. The Maypop or Passion Flower tea should be made from the ripe fruit from same - that may be gathered at this period of the year. The water or tea from same should be made in that proportion of six (6) ounces to twenty (20) ounces of water, and reduced if made in tea, see? This is an active principle for the liver and for the intestinal system. 5. The Mayapple tea, or from same - that is, from the Mayapple as is prepared by Daniels - this should be taken for the nerve system. This, as we see, is prepared from herb and from the fruit. These added to the system, with the continuation of the properties as are needed through the diet which should be followed along those lines much as has been outlined for the body by those as have been applying the vibrations - that is, those of the digestion that are easy for digestion, see? food values - cereals, fruits - oranges, but not too much raw apples nor bananas. Those of pears, oranges, grapefruit. Cereal - oatmeals. Dry cereal - corn flakes, or Post Toasties, or those of whole wheat or those of Puffed Wheat, Puffed Rice - all of these. Preferably, use beet sugar rather than cane sugar, and the cream should be very good, and especially fresh.

6. The medicinal properties - the tea of the Maypop or Passion Flower, would be taken half a glass twice each day, see? The Mayapple, or that of that herb as for the nerves, would be taken five (5) drops three (3) times each day, see? nine, twelve and three, or preferably make it nine, three and six, see? would be very good, you see. 7. The manipulations and adjustments - these may be made by anyone that gives the manipulation, yet the adjustments should be made occasionally - at least once to twice a month - by those that have made the adjustments for the conditions in the body. 8. Do that. Ready for questions. 9. (Q) Could these treatments be given correctly by Dr. Robinson of Selma, Alabama chiropractor? (A) Preferably these would be given by a masseur, rather than by the adjustments, because it would be improperly given through adjustments made. Manipulation and massage would be better - that of the neuropath would be better than of the chiropractor, though the osteopath the better than either, see? though the neuropath treatment might be given to strengthen, and the osteopath treatments for the correction twice each month. Keep up medicinal properties until we have a CLEANSED system. High enemas may be used to cleanse the colon, see? When such are used, use Glyco-Thymoline as an antiseptic. Tablespoonful to gallon of water would not be too much in this case, see? This may be also given in five to ten (5 to 10) drops two to three times as an intestinal antiseptic. We will find this body will be brought to the normal, will persistence and consistence be kept with these conditions - be met as the conditions arise, see? 10. (Q) If neuropath treatments are given, how often should these be given? (A) Twice to three times each week would be well - three times each week be well - thoroughly given. 11. We are through.

GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Beautiful country, what trees! Five miles south, ... [5094]. 3. Yes, as we find, there are disturbances and these will require a great deal of care and attention. There are disturbances in the alimentary canal, and especially in those areas of the lacteal duct and gall duct activity, hence the lack of proper assimilation. 4. Foods form gas easily, which becomes very painful to the body. Pressures from these dilations cause disturbance in the nerves to the organs of the sensory system, aching of ears; hurting of eyes; fullness in the throat; those inclinations for the body to cry easily. 5. All of these are from the adhesions and, unless there are the measures taken for correction, will finally grow to where incoordination may be the result, which causes the breaking between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems, and spasmodic conditions result. 6. As we find, during this early part of the applications that may be suggested here, do not worry too much about the quantity of foods taken, for there won't be much desire to eat. That which is given should be that easily assimilated and readily digested, and sufficient to maintain strength; such as liver, liver extract, beef juices and the like. 7. Begin and for three days apply Castor Oil Packs over the gall duct and also lacteal duct areas for one hour each day. Heat should be applied so that the oil is absorbed. After the third day of the applications, take two teaspoons of Olive Oil internally. The next day do have scientifically given a good colonic irrigation. 8. Rest from these for a period of three or four days and begin and take internally, in all the water that is taken, small quantities of Glyco-Thymoline; say two drops in each glass of water that may be taken, and drink water regularly (at least six glasses should be taken daily). 9. Also apply then, over the whole of the abdomen, the Glyco-Thymoline Packs. Do this about three times each week. 10. Twice each week have a general osteopathic or neuropathic massage. 11. Do these, else we are going to find worse conditions arising. 12. Ready for questions. 13. (Q) Should I continue to take 15 grains of Calcium daily? (A) No. If there is calcium to be used (don't give any of those during the periods we are purifying the system); then we may give Calcios, but the calcium is not being assimilated and is working to a disadvantage rather than to an advantage. It will be assimilated with Calcios which is a paste. Don't take more than three times a week in the beginning, though don't begin until we are through with the Castor Oil Packs and are at least half through with the Glyco-Thymoline Packs. 14. (Q) How many series of the Castor Oil Packs should be taken? (A) One series of the Castor Oil Packs, and at least two or three series of the Glyco-Thymoline, and keep up through the whole series the massages, see? As well as the Glyco taken internally. Then begin on the Calcios, but take only the amount which may be spread thinly on a whole wheat wafer. 15. (Q) Should the packs be kept on an hour each day? (A) Castor Oil packs an hour each day. The Glyco-Thymoline Packs should be put on rather cool and stay on until they are almost dry. Use three or four thicknesses of flannel for the Castor Oil

packs, then place an electric pad over same. Don't get too hot, but sufficiently warm so the body absorbs the oil well. Apply the Glyco-Thymoline through three or four thicknesses of cotton cloth, saturated with Glyco. Put this on cold or cool, over the whole of the abdomen, including that area covered by the oil packs, and allow this to become almost dry. It will require an hour and a half or two hours. 16.

TEXT OF READING 5128-1 F 5 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 22nd day of May, 1944, in accordance with request made by the parents Mr. and - Mrs. [...], new Associate Member of the Ass''n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by the book, THERE IS A RIVER. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis and Jeanette Fitch, Stenos. Mr. and Mrs. [...] [[5128]''s parents]. READING Time of Reading Set bet. 10:30 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Md. 1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body, answering the questions, as I ask them: 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5128]. 3. In giving the interpretation of the disturbance here: While this is not understood except by few, we find that with a great deal of persistence and consistence there may be brought nearer to normal reactions in the body. 4. There has been a complication of disturbances, which has closed the coordination of the auditory forces with the reflexes of the brain and with the body itself. 5. From a pressure which has existed, we find that with the operative measures lesions were formed. These have gradually changed. 6. We find that it would be better if the body were kept close to the mother, for at least another three to four years. For we will find that these are the better administrations; and if there is not the teaching in the present, it would be hard to teach the body after it has reached its eighth, ninth or tenth year, yet much more may be gained through these applications: 7. First, we would give that there be regular periods when there would be osteopathic manipulations given by an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist (of the osteopathic school). These, as we find, are to break up those lesions or adhesions in the lacteal duct area and in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervicals and in the lower dorsal and through the coccyx area. These should not be too severe,

but gradually work towards (within the next twelve months), the raising of the Eustachian tube. These should also be used regularly: 8. The low Wet Cell Appliance carrying Chloride of Gold vibratorially into the body. The connections would be prepared a little bit differently for this body, though the regular charge should be used. The larger plate through which the Gold Solution passes vibratorially (in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold Sodium, to each ounce of distilled water, and use at least three ounces) would be attached each day for twenty minutes to the umbilical and lacteal duct, which on this body will be the width of the mother's three fingers to the right from the navel center, and one finger up from that point. The small copper plate (now, this is the variation) would be attached one day to the left portion of that area back of the ear, or the mastoid area; the next day on the right. The next day attach again to the left, and so on; each day changing the application of this plate. 9. This Wet Cell treatment should not begin until there has been at least the second series of the osteopathic adjustments made. 10. In giving the treatments with the Wet Cell Appliance, use this period each day, as the period when there will be suggestions made to the body: that it, the body, will - in the influences brought to bear - interpret, understand and make application of these suggestions. Whether these are consciously heard by the body or not, make them audible. Eventually we will find that the body will respond. 11. The Appliance is to be recharged every thirty days. 12. Do take the Gold Solution connections out of the bottle when not attached to the body. Do keep the anodes clean. Do make positive connections; this may preferably be done with tape, adhesive tape, to hold the plate firmly in place. Keep the attachment plates very clean. 13. Each day following the Appliance treatment, do give the body a massage with Cocoa Butter. This should be done by the mother. This should be begun at the area over the mastoid, around the chin, forehead, temple; then throat, then along the spine; very gently, yet sufficient for the body to absorb the properties. Do this very thoroughly. Take the time, and use this as the period for conversation. Keeping up this conversation, it will bring corrective measures to the body. Go all the way, of course, to the end of the spine. 14. In the diet, add often the raw vegetables, as: watercress, celery, lettuce, carrots; these preferably grated, but don't lose the juices in the preparation. Oft prepare them with gelatin. 15. These, if they will be kept, will bring nearer to normal conditions. There will be periods when it will be necessary for changes to be wrought. These we would make (the suggestions for changes in treatment) at least every six to eight months apart. 16. The osteopathic treatments we should have for six or eight, then a rest period from them for two or three weeks, then again having another period, and so on. 17. After the second series, begin with the Wet Cell Appliance - which is to make the connections of the nerves so that the hearing, the speech, all the reflexes (see, the body doesn't taste properly either, at present) will be brought to nearer normalcy. 18. Ready for questions. 19. (Q) What was the original cause of the pressure which brought about this condition? (A) The pressures produced by an injury to the coccyx end of spine.

20. (Q) Can you suggest an osteopathic specialist to carry out these treatments? (A) Dr. Smith, Baltimore. 21. (Q) Any other advice? (A) Do these and we will bring better conditions. Be patient, be very cheerful. Do teach the body to pray often, as the mother does pray with the body. 22. We are through with this reading.
