This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 26th day of July, 1941, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [1968], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Miss [1968] and Mrs. [264].]

Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Ark.

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, [1968]; this we have had before.

3. As we find, there are changes in the general physical forces of the body since last we had same here. Most of these are tendencies towards improvements. However, there are yet those disturbances that should be eliminated.

4. The strains which have existed in the areas of the 9th and 10th dorsal bring distresses at times, when there are the tendencies towards lack of full or complete eliminations.

5. Hence these inclinations bring about not only nerve pressures but deflect energies for the organs of the lower hepatic circulation, and sympathetically will disturb - if allowed to remain - the organs of the pelvis as well as the liver and upper hepatic circulation.

6. As we find, we would have in the present at least ten full, complete adjustments osteopathically administered; especially in reference to the areas from the sacral to the lower portion of the cervical area; coordinating the cervical centers with the rest of the corrections.

7. Then occasionally, once a month or the like, have a complete hydrotherapy administration; including a mild cabinet sweat, the sitz baths, a full massage with an equal combination of Pine Oil and Peanut Oil; finishing, of course, with the alcohol rub.

8. Be mindful that there is sufficient of the exercises that use the areas through the lumbar and sacral; the bicycle riding, walking, horseback riding, rowing and the like. These especially would be well for the body.

9. Refrain from too much of sweets. Ice cream and ices are very good.

10. Do not take too much of carbonated waters.

11. Keep plenty of those foods that supply calcium to the body. These we would find especially in raw carrots, cooked turnips and turnip greens, all characters of salads - especially as of water cress, mustard and the like; these especially taken raw, though turnips cooked - but cooked in their own juices and NOT with fat meats.

12. Do these and we will find we will make the better conditions for this body of [1968].

13. Ready for questions.

14. (Q) Should I continue any of the treatments previously outlined for me? (A) The rubs, of course, are always well; but more particularly now the mechanical (osteopathic) adjustments, as we have indicated, and at least once a month the full hydrotherapy treatment - these would be the main ones.

15. (Q) What is the present condition of my thyroid and adrenal glandular circulation, and what should be done for it? (A) These are improved, but there is a lack of calcium in the system, which may be supplied with keeping these foods as indicated.

Occasionally, say for five days out of each month, take small quantities of the Atomidine; one drop in half a glass of water each morning before breakfast, - this consecutively for

five days, though, instead of skipping about. Do this regularly, each month, but not oftener than five days in each

month.

16. (Q) How can I raise my vitality? (A) By doing the things was we have indicated here.

17. (Q) Were the chiropractic treatments harmful or beneficial? (A) Part were beneficial, part not so good.

18. (Q) What doctor should administer the osteopathic treatments? (A) As we find, we would have at least one adjustment here - through such as Richardson; and have the suggestions written to such an one as would be recommended in the area where the body resides.

19. (Q) What causes undue moisture in my ears and what should be done about it? (A) The poor circulation, or coordination in the circulation; and the full adjustments from the upper dorsal to the sacral, and through the sacral and then coordinating the cervical, will coordinate these impulses.

20. (Q) Am I working too hard for my health? (A) If the body imagines that it is working too hard, it’s working awfully hard! but if you will make play of the work, that as of an opportunity, it’s not so hard!

21. (Q) Is it time for my glasses to be changed? (A) Do not change until after at least ten days following the completing of the adjustments. These we find would then be better.

Do these and keep the mental attitude in that of making each day, each association, each activity a worth while experience; not merely for self but let each activity be with

an eye purposefulness to being helpful to someone.

22. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 8/9/41 [1968]‘s ltr. to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce:

It was so nice to see you and all your house hold again and I want to thank you for everything your [you] have done for me. It was certainly a privilege to be in your home and I always enjoy every minute of it.

I am glad to report to you that Dr. Sellars [A. H. Sellars, D.O.], our local osteopath, is following your suggestions as outlined in the reading. He had never heard of you or your type work and was he surprised after looking over my reading to find that very condition! He is very puzzled and amazed and astounded, but I guess that is an old story to you. He doesn’t see how you do it but anyway he agrees with the reading and is following it, so - that’s what we want.

It is not possible here in … to get those hydrotherapy administrations mentioned on page 2 of my reading, so I have written to … to see if I can’t get them there. It is just 40 miles from here, so I can go there once a month and get them, I feel sure, although I haven’t had time yet to hear from them. There is one question I would like to ask you about that treatment: The reading says to have a complete hydrotherapy administration INCLUDING a mild cabinet sweat, the sitz baths, a full massage with an equal combination of Pine Oil and peanut oil, finishing with the alcohol rub. Does that word INCLUDING just EXPLAIN the treatment or does it mean something else IN ADDITION TO the cabinet seat, sitz bath, etc.? Please tell me when you have time.

I am enjoying your Apple Jelly for my breakfasts, and it is doubly good just because you made it.

Remember me to all your family and Gladys, and I hope you feel lots better.

Sincerely, [1968]

R2. 8/12/41 EC’s ltr. to [1968]:

Dear Miss [1968]

Glad to have yours of the 9th, we certainly have missed you from about here, glad you too feel that you got to know us all better here, wish you to feel that you are one of the large family of the Assn. members and this is your home too, for all that have had a part in the work, must am sure feel they have a bit of personal interest.

Glad to know your local Osteopath would cooperate, if he is interested will be glad to give him the name of many of his fellow Dr.’s that have and are finding the work of interest. Tell him I once had Dr. A. T. Still give me a treatment and he like many will possibly think that is why the information so often suggests Osteopathy. Tho of course I do not think that is the reason.

Am sure you will be able to get the hydrotherapy in … No - a complete hydrotherapy would include all the things suggested, and feel sure you will find the operator will understand - if not will give them a reference to one that will give them full understanding.

Glad you like the Jelly - have been making fig-preserves today put up 14 pints today, will have quite a few more soon as my own get ripe enough to work on, if hadn’t rained would have made some peach pickle - as have the peaches growing here on lot - but rained and couldn’t get out to gather them.

Mrs. [264] left yesterday believe it was - went to visit her husbands folks I believe, but expect you have heard from her.

Thanks again, and let us hear from you, with love for all here

Sincerely, [signed] Edgar Cayce

R3. 11/1/41 [1968]‘s ltr. to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce:-

I started two letters to you last week and tore them both up, but I decided even though I didn’t have anything especially interesting to tell, I would write just to let you know I am getting along all right.

I think about all of you every day and am so interested in the work. I guess the whole household was excited over Hugh Lynn’s wedding. Please congratulate him for me and tell him I wish him all the happiness he deserves. It must be a joy to you, Mr. Cayce, to have such a wonderful son. He is one of the finest persons I ever knew.

I know you will be pleased to hear that I am trying to follow my readings very closely. I have finished my course of osteopathic treatments and Dr. Sellars says my 9th & 10th dorsals are in good shape now. I have been to … three times for the hydrotherapy treatments (which I cannot get here in …) and I have cut down on sweets and carbonated beverages and increased foods with calcium. In fact, I am even taking calcium tablets. Don’t know whether they will help or not, but thought they wouldn’t hurt anyway.

I bought a rowing machine and keep in my room for exercise, to supplement walking and bicycling.

My face has been much improved until the last couple of weeks and I have had a flare up of bumps but guess I have to expect them still occasionally.

My main trouble yet is my thyroid gland. It swells in the front of my throat and bothers me, but I guess the atomidine will cure that in time. I take it regularly as directed in my last physical reading.

I also had my eyes tested and the doctor said I would not need to change my glasses until next year.

I manage to keep pretty busy at the office. I have decided that my job is a good discipline for me in testing my patience. I would feel as if I were just marketing time there if my reading had not said I should consider my job as an opportunity toward something better later on - or words to that effect. [See 1968-5.] I realize that I need to cultivate patience so I am trying, but I will be glad to get started on my real life’s work. Perhaps I will appreciate it more, though, by having to wait a while.

I hope you are feeling real well now. Please give my love to all there.

Sincerely, [1968]

P.S. Thank you again for everything you have done for me.

R4. 11/6/41 EC’s ltr. to [1968]:

Dear [1968]:

Thanks for yours of the 1st - but here you must not tear my letters up like that, would lots rather have them sent on even tho they do not say all you would wish to say at times.

We think of and speak of you often here, every now and then the girls whom you met here last summer ask about you, when they come to the meetings each Tuesday evening, so you may know we all have you on our minds, with a lot of love and appreciation.

Yes - Mrs. Cayce and I both think a lot of the young lady H. L. married while she is not pretty, she is one of the loveliest girls have ever known, they had a little trip and haven been home now to two or three weeks. Have an apartment in the Beach home [Beach Home Apt. Hotel, 28th & Atlantic] don’t know whether you remember the place or not it is at the other end of the Beach 29th st believe it is and we are on 14th or Arctic Circle but H. L. still has his office here and come in every morning to work, and we see Sally every day or so, think she rather likes my Jelly and apple sauce also.

Am indeed glad to hear you are following out your reading - don’t get too much of the calcium, that may cause irritation to skin if it is not all well assimilated but keep up the Atomidine to get rid of that glandular trouble, and when you get the trouble in spine corrected, every few weeks have an extra treatment to keep the system in shape.

The Hydrotherapy will be fine for you also - marvelous that you have the exercise machine, you like that don’t you? am sure you do tho.

You see the treatments keep the eyes in better shape as well as does the general treatments and exercise.

Fine - yes, am sure even tho the office is routine you will find each day some where you can help, some one to know God better and this doesn’t mean with a long tirade as to what this or that should do - for what one does themselves speaks much louder than any thing we may say in words.

We will go to N.Y. for a little visit and work Sunday, be there two weeks and have an open meeting and Lecture on the evening of the 14th at Shelton Hotel hope we may be able to help some where along the way.

Hear from Mrs. [264] some time ago all seem to be well with her but guess you hear from her every week or so.

Let us hear from you again

All send love and regards [signed] Edgar Cayce

R5. 1/17/42 Miss [1968]‘s ltr. to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce:

Your message of January 8th [See under 2678-1 Background] was so inspiring and helpful. I hope it will impress all the members of the Association who receive a copy, as much as it did me.

For a long time now your name has been on my prayer list, sometimes first of all. And the work you are doing has a very large place in my heart. I want to reaffirm here and and now that I will continue to set aside a few moments each day in prayer for Divine guidance for the work and all who have a part in it.

May God bless every one and use us all for His glory.

Sincerely,

R6. 7/4/42 Miss [1968]‘s ltr. to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce:-

Thank you for your letter.

The more I think about Virginia Beach, the more I want to come there. I know it will be different this year on account of the war situation, but there are two other girls here who want to come too, so I think we will take a chance on coming. I hope the oil on the water won’t interfere with the surf-bathing. I don’t think the “dim-outs” will interfere much with me.

Also I want to see all of you again and I would like to get two readings - a physical and check life reading. Do you think you can take me about the last of July or the first part of August? I plan to be at V.B. about July 27 to August 7 if my plans work out.

Mrs. [264] wrote me today they are moving to Boston about the first of August. I want to see her so much. If she can’t come to the Beach, I am going to try to go to Washington for one day and see her before she leaves.

If you find time I would appreciate your telling me if you think I should not come to V.B. I hope the newspaper reports and rumors are exaggerated. I want to come very much. In fact there’s no other place I want to go. I hope all your family are well and I am looking forward to seeing you.

Sincerely, [1968]

R7. 7/8/42 EC’s ltr. to Miss [1968]:

Thanks for yours of the 4th. Glad you are keeping Virginia Beach in mind - don’t think you will find many nicer places than this and hope few as good for you - just hope you and your friend will feel that way about it when you come. The water was just fine this morning - was down myself and has to be good for me to venture on the Beach even as you possibly know.

Will be glad to reserve two periods for you - the Check Life and the Physical. Let me know when you decide the date and will try and fit it in first thing when you get here so you will have time to discuss it afterward. Yes, Mrs. [264] hasn’t been to the Beach as yet and says there is the chance of their going to Boston in three or four weeks. Will miss her, but if it works out best for she and Mr. [853] and glad for them.

Will be looking for you at the Beach - if you haven’t already chosen a place consider the Essex House. It is close to the house and is a nice place, am told. Just be where we will get to see you real often while you were here.

[…] and Miss [421] was here for two weeks just left this afternoon.

Be seeing you - I hope

with all good wishes

Sincerely

R8. 7/28/42 She was present for her third Physical Rdg. - See 1968-7.

R9. 7/31/42 She obtained a general Check Life Reading to answer questions. See 1968-8.
