This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 24th day of August, 1936, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [1113], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Helen Ellington, Ruth Dennis and L. B. Cayce.]

Time of Reading 3:50 to 4:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. N.Y. City. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the impressions here, [1113]; this we have had before.

2. As we find, in many respects conditions show some improvement, and if there were followed in a consistent manner those suggestions that have been made we would find the better physical reactions with this body.

3. While there are some disturbing conditions that arise at times, these are the effects of those disturbing factors which have been indicated that might be eradicated from the system if those applications and those activities, those relationships to the assimilations and eliminations are carried on in the manner as has been indicated.

4. Ready for questions.

5. (Q) Has there been any improvement in the condition of the foot? (A) There HAS been a good deal of improvement and then there have been those reactions that have brought the greater strain. But if those suggestions as indicated are adhere to, and being consistent with the whole of the suggestions, these would continue to improve.

6. (Q) Is masseur giving proper treatment and is there any suggested change in the manner of treatment? (A) The masseur is very good. There is not as specific attention given to the areas as have been indicated as there should be; hence as has been given there should be a CONSISTENCY with that which has been indicated. Without this, we may find some improvements and yet other conditions making for greater distresses. These have not been adhered to IN the manner as has been given. Yet apparently much more is looked for than is merited from the application of self for those conditions.

7. (Q) Advise condition of eyes. Advise cause and remedy. (A) This has been indicated, that there arises in portions of the system the effect from those conditions which have been indicated as needing correction. For from the beginning all of these disturbances have been indicated as a part of that necessary to be removed by the very character of the adjustments and the massage and the manipulations and the activities of the body.

If those centers from the cerebro-spinal system as indicated as being a portion of the whole activity to the organism for the sensory forces are taken into consideration, the eyes will be materially aided as we find.

While there are those conditions that may be applied locally, these would only be temporary in their effect or as palliatives. On the other hand, if the basic conditions are taken into consideration, those from which these impulses arise in the system, and the proper adjustment and proper coordination given to all portions of the system, then the reactions are beneficial in such measures and manners that the whole of the system reacts to a better condition.

8. (Q) What is condition of stomach and advise corrective measures. (A) These have also been indicated from the beginnings, as to how and as to what manners, as to those activities for those disturbances - or those reactions rather than disturbances there.

9. (Q) Does a hernia condition exist around the navel? If so, what caused same and how can it be corrected? (A) Not as we find does a true hernia condition exist. If there are the applications to the portions of the cerebro-spinal system as indicated, ALL portions of the body should respond to the reactions as should take place from same with the body of [1113].

10. (Q) Why did not original reading disclose any of these conditions? (A) As has just been indicated, all of these conditions are taken into consideration. If those that are effects of disturbances are magnified, then - as so oft in the application for beneficial conditions for a body - the effects rather than causes are treated; and these that have been given for the body have been for the basic or the primary causes. If those areas are corrected or given their proper consideration in a consistent and persistent manner, as indicated, then the reactions to the whole body would be the better.

If these are taken only halfheartedly, only when the indications are or the body feels as if it would and when it feels better leaves off, there CANNOT be the permanent or the GENERAL reaction to the whole of the system.

Do, then, as has been given - or forget it!

11. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 8/26/36 EC’s ltr. to Mr. [1113]:

Mr. [1113] …, New York

Dr. Mr. [1113]

The information gotten in your check reading has been sent. I can only hope it will prove as beneficial to you as so many hundreds of others testify such information has been to them.

There is no use or sense in an argument about a work of this nature. One either is or is not convinced by one’s experiences. I myself have never blamed anyone for being skeptical. And if I were to take individual experiences such as you refer to when I consider the death of my own child and my own mother, I might say that it had failed. But when I consider, too, what was said to me in the last moments during my mother’s passing I would have to be personally convinced there is something more than mere fancy. Such experiences I cannot pass on to anyone, and I do not tell them to try to convince anyone of anything. I can only hope that all persons will be just as honest with the information through the readings as they wish the information to be with them. That’s all anyone can hope for and it’s all anyone can ask anyone else to be. But I’m sure we can ask that and look for it in just the same honesty that is within our own selves.

I wish I had the opportunity to talk with you but I hope your experiences will be worth while, whatever your decision may be regarding this type of information.

With all good wishes, I am

Sincerely, ASS’N FOR RESEARCH & ENLIGHTENMENT, INC. [EC:GD]
