This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the Hotel McAlpin, New York City, this 7th day of March, 1921.

[Edgar Cayce; G. K. Nicodenus, Conductor; (?), Steno.]

Time of Reading Unknown.

1. GKN: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are going to sleep - a quiet, peaceful and restful sleep. All the organs of your body will function perfectly. You will be normal in every way and you will hear what I say and answer the questions I shall ask you slowly and distinctly so that we may get every word. Now, Mr. Cayce, you are asleep and you have before you the body of Mrs. [1982], who is in room 2154, McAlpin Hotel, New York City, N.Y. You will see this body and go over it carefully and tell us what the trouble is, if anything, and what to do for it to make it normal again. You will answer any questions about this body, Mr. Cayce.

2. EC: We have had this body before [No copy of earlier readings]. Now, there is considerable difference in the conditions that we find in the body here just now than when we had this body before. There are many things that there is much change in, especially in the physical body itself. There are many things in the mental and spiritual body that have changed in their attitude towards things physical or material that have been of assistance both to the spiritual side of the body and to the physical attributes and conditions that have existed and do exist in this body, see. These are conditions that are abnormal that we find at present.

3. First, we take the circulation of the blood, which is the life of the physical body. The pressure is normal, the heart action in its functioning is alright. Good! There is some bacilla [bacilli?] carried in the blood that acting with the functioning of certain organs produces in itself some trouble when the reflex or reaction comes through the blood supply in the capillaries and some of the extreme functioning ends of the lymphatic and blood circulation. In this form the sedular forces of some of the corpuscles become so heavy, preventing the action of the lucresites [leucocytes?] blood in action in its function toward certain organs or extremities in the body, you see, which this bacilla then expresses itself in the cuticle causing irritation to some portion of the body, in the feet, - which has been given before. At times this shows on certain portions of the body by small pimples which appear, in breaking cuticle, small abrasions that appear, itching sensations on parts of the body, in poor circulation, improper distribution of the circulation. That is in the physical, we are speaking of the body the same being produced in this - that is, [1982] we speak of.

4. By the action of the spiritual and mental with the action of physical matter or in claiming perfect function over the action of the physical matter in the spiritual and mental parts of the body, see, this also reflex condition affecting that part of the body becoming to the highest cycles of formation in the functioning of physical organs, that is, through speech or through the larynx or vocal chord and box itself, you see. So that the roughness, the unpleasantness holds to these organs for a reflex, reactive condition of this abnormal condition existing in the life supply of blood, for success, all of these being functioned by the electrical or nerve energy being carried in the system, see.

5. If we subject through itself, through the mental faculties to the spiritual faculties in itself action over the physical force in the matter, we will relieve and constrain the condition from the body, yet the body will act itself within accord to that condition giving then some manipulation, I mean within itself, to those portions that are affected. It will remove from the condition those which become abnormal in the physical body of [1982]. This manipulation or exercise or suggestions to the physical body should be to the upper lumbar at the second lumbar gangular [ganglia?] so the effect to the physical is given through the hypatics and its central forces from these in its action on the natural blood supply of this body. By this suggestion through mental, through physical with the action of the physical that is given by the body itself in regular exercise of this portion of the body or manipulation by the body itself, we will remove this condition both from the fact these conditions become effective through sympathetic systems to the nerve energy and force as applied to the extremities in one condition of blood as applied to that through the central organ from the functioning of the organs of the highest cycles.

6. As to the physical development within the body the suppression of organs as we had given before have allowed to run to the extent of the physical producing destructive forces in the body which has been relieved by the intaking of within mind, that is, through the mental faculties of this body, that which has kept within the body the youthfulness of both the mental and of the physical to a development of the mental faculties of the body. Get the direction between the two. The spiritual development of this body is above the normal. The spiritual development should go forward through that of the mental force and faculty of the body, of the study by the concentration of body on self to ride above that of others, you see, and those whom it comes in contact with.

Should be developed along the concentration and consecration of both the physical and mental in its application to a spiritual.

7. (Q) For what is this body best suited in life? (A) Along the development of others towards the higher development of spiritual life as expressed especially through that of harmony in the soul of the person or persons to whom this body comes in contact with. Against harmony the body cannot work.

8. (Q) Will this body be successful as a singer and what is the best plan for her to follow, Mr. Cayce? (A) This body can be developed and can be successful and can develop itself as a singer and be able to give out to others as a singer just as we have outlined here. If it will renew anew the physical so that the mental and spiritual body can express itself to the material world it becomes successful. The body can develop within itself too but it has already obtained truth within itself. It must develop within itself before it can give out to others.

9. (Q) Will this body be successful in perfecting her plan for a conservatory of music, Mr. Cayce. (A) There will be developments due to the material and financial world. If the body would use those means presented to the physical to further or right that obtained in its mental and spiritual state to give to others it would be well.

10. (Q) Could this body develop any unusual power, Mr. Cayce. (A) The development of unusual power is within yourself. It must have the basis of unusual power before we begin the development just as the development of the vocal in this body here is unusual, you see. This shall be developed through the mental or spiritual in this body. These can attain, these will attain if followed out as we have here outlined.

11. (Q) Is there any special trouble with the left foot of this body, Mr. Cayce, or is it just the same trouble as heretofore diagnosed? (A) The condition as we have here in the left foot is a condition of the circulation of the same affect, that is, all, in the lymphatic circulation in this extremity of the body producing a local condition the affect is over the whole system. By treating the central as we have outlined, the local condition will be removed.

12. (Q) Would any local treatment assist in removing this condition to the left foot, Mr. Cayce. (A) If, as we have given, they were to remove the condition, treat what is the seat of the trouble and remove the condition. Do as we have outlined.

13. (Q) Is there any particular person or persons that this body should see for the further development of her voice, Mr. Cayce, in public work? (A) This body must first study within itself and understand the power of resistance in others with whom it comes in contact with in the development of the mental and physical attributes of this body, knowing that through the physical, that is, the physical sensory system, we reach to the mental and spiritual force governing within the body that is to develop this body in itself there must be at times resistance encountered to develop or know whereof it speaks, or feels, or sees, or knows, or understands, see? In its resistive force against… As to special individuals we would say they were well within this life at present. As to special places, it is well that the body is at present meeting resistance to overcome later. Success will not be reached here, New York we are speaking of, but the resistive force to the encountered is here. Through some of the channels in which it has been brought to meet they will meet and have that of the material to assist the physical, mental and spiritual forces of [1982]. We see for this body other lands than these in where the completion of the work will be. These are sunny climes. We are through.

14. Now, Mr. Cayce, you will dismiss this body. Will not see it any more. For the present you are resting quietly and peacefully, all the organs of the body are going to function normally and perfectly. You will awaken in one minute feeling good and alright. You will forget what you have said but will be feeling good and alright, and now awaken as we have said, in one minute, Mr. Cayce.

R1. 6/4/27 [1982]‘s letter to EC:

We live here [handwritten arrow pointing to the letterhead address] […] Brooklyn, New York

Dear Mr. Cayce!

Mr. [2483], and self tried to find you that Sat. but you were not at the McAlpin where we thot you would be. It is too bad for I don’t see how we can come there. We made money in Flo. [Fla.?] but it is all tied up so we have barely enough to live in one room & eat. I don’t like to talk of it, for Mr. [2483] says he has never in his life been as we are now. Nevertheless I believe in God (as you know) & I demonstrate in faith that “Tho He slay me, yet shall I trust in Him!” We have our car we had in Flo. and could come in that but it means a good deal of expense & just today Mr. [2483] took a “desk” in an office to try to do real estate. He was working for a ”…” but did nothing. God knows I hope, ask (?) for better for bus. has not been good. I am glad you see your way to have your desire. Mine was so close to me & then the money got tied up tight! Well! I must wait. I’d like to know what kind of a boom is on there. Is there a chance to do well in real estate? How much of a boom, etc. Now had you have written us in Flo. - I am sure we could have arranged everything for you on hospital (?) etc. I could have done wonders for you there and we could next winter if you are willing - ONE CANNOT get away from commercialism or even your project could not begin or be maintained - I really would like to talk to you. We have a wonderful piece of land on brick highway road, near the bay where you could arrange your project. Mr. [2483] must work hard now so don’t know when he can get away. I am free to come & go but should have to go by train & I’m not flush with money enough to run around. Mr. [2483] has told you most of our news. You know FitzGerald is the discoverer of Zone therapy (drugless) & Dr. Joe Shelby - Riley - is a Phy. in good standing in Allopathy

• Chiropractic - Osteopathic & others to which he holds DIPLOMAS. That is good as most states fight any but Alo. & Homeo. However he practices the best in all (excepting drugs). He is a drugless healer, writer of books others study etc. Has an ENORMOUS FOLLOWING. I’ll try to have Mrs. Riley send you his big book as a gift - (it sells at $10!) -

Well it is Sunday - I’d like to be at the Beach with you. What can a woman like me do? My voice is more beautiful than ever since a girl. I’m NO more frightened - (I had trouble with nose but it is fine now & voice is wonderful. I can teach as few CAN but get no pupils. I can now lecture in public (impromptu) on metaphysics, psychology, religion, and many things of the day.

My BEST to you both, [1982]

R2. 12/15/27 Her husband, Mr. [2483] obtained a Life Reading.

R3. 12/27 [1982]‘s letter to EC:

Brooklyn, New York

Dear Mr. Cayce! As you are going to be SO kind as to give me a reading, I want to say please do not give it of the past incarnations nor of my past in this one. It DOES NOT interest me at all a day before “today”. I want to much to know how I can improve always upon [?] “today”.

How I can make a great success of life, become more spiritual and come in touch with those people and things & opportunities that will aid me in becoming a nobler & more successful woman so I may be of more use in the world. Will you send MY reading letter which you write to me PERSONALLY & marked personal? Thanks. Now as to my questions! (3) Can I still make a success of my voice as to singing in public, could I aspire to the Metropolitan Opera Co.? (2) In what can I make the greatest success? (5) Would voice teaching be a success? (4) Would public speaking be a success? (1st) MOST OF ALL how can I go about to interest people in helping me form an American conservatory of Art at Rome, Italy?

I’ve numbered them in importance. You may ask also steps to take in order to succeed. The past can never help me and I do want all the time given to what I can do now to be a successful woman and one needs money (which is an expression of God) to have freedom.

Thanking you sincerely and with best regards to Mrs. Cayce, [1982]

P.S. If you have time & care to ask when I shall I return to Italy, do so but the other things (especially the 1st) are far more important. [1982]

R4. 12/28/27 [1982]‘s letter to EC:

… St., …, Mich.

St. James Hotel Absolutely Fireproof Walnut at Thirteenth St. Philadelphia

Dear Mr. Cayce

Your kind letter came yesterday. [2483]‘s sister paid his way to & from Ind. for an Xmas gift & so as he took the car I could come also at no extra expense & visit my sister in law here. He is in Ind. & will come here in 10 days for a wk then we drive home. I wonder if it would be much more to come & see you a day or so. I’ll ask him. He wrote he had your reading of him - well, I do not care for the past - it is gone. I do so care about the future. The mental and spiritual will help me I hope. Dear Mr. Cayce, I have so many talents & yet tho I’ve tried & tried, I’ve GOT NOTHING & I long to become independent that is earn my own living, etc. I want to become greater spiritually. Mentally I am (intellectually, I am far ahead of other things. I want to have success in life or what is it for? Of all things, I wanted to make a success in singing. How strange to say I was so frightened of people that I never could sing in public. Now I’m not afraid any more & my voice has gone back to its beauty of 30 yrs ago. It is lovely & YOUNG & brilliant.) I have (as you must have seen overcome my body & the flesh, hair, teeth are far fresher than formerly tho I’m older. I do not work at it for vanity but to be able to help others to be young at 100 - they can. I shall be at even 150. I am vitalizing my body & everyone wonders at me & I don’t say anything. Here I am at my former home & I look FAR younger, even in teeth & hair (which go quickly) than others here that are 10 to 15 yrs younger. (I myself marvel at what I’ve done with my flesh.) Spiritually I am CONSTANTLY studying & praying. I pray without ceasing & I get NOWHERE. I want your reading to tell me where I am, at what I can make success & where help the most. My first wish would be to sing but I’d let that go by if I could only get money for beginning that conservatory of Music at Rome. That is my second desire & I COULD manage such a place well I know.

But when time passes & nothing comes & we get tied up so we have no money scarcely to live then the soul gets tired. Why I even gave up my rooms to ease the rent while out here & it hurt me as I was content there & I know they will be gone when I return. And so life goes on. Mr. [2483], not having made a cent in 2 yrs. Now if I can only know what is best I can go ahead. Just before I left N.Y. I had a lady teacher say she’d send me pupils as she had too many but I needed to live in N.Y. I’ve found to my sorrow that one can do nothing in art in Brooklyn. So now I am thinking of taking a 2 room & bath apt. right on Broadway near 55th St. It is an old, lovely Bldg with large lovely rooms. They ask 100 a mo but [2483] thinks he can get for 80. There I can have studio & tech & also I feel capable of becoming a manager for Vaudeville acts and artists for opera, concert & Vaudeville. So I think I could succeed there! [2483] is trying to get money to put over the Cassina tea & that will bring in millions for us to use in many ways. Now I advise you to tell me just when you want me to be here home … St. My room until the 6th is the upstairs north east corner room. Then I have to change to back (up) south west room. I am very grateful to you. Yes, I’d like to have talked to you for I’ve discovered much of help to REGENERATE the body & to regenerate VITALITY. When I need it so I can ever keep going. I’ve studied a lot more these things than Mr. [2483] or anyone about me & what’s more I DEMONSTRATE them.

My best to Mrs. C & yourself,

Sincerely [1982]

Mr. [2483] has a chance to go as commercial attache abroad. I wonder if it will come. Am I going abroad to live & when?

Questions

1. Shall I have a conservatory of art at Rome, Italy and when?

2. Can I now succeed as a singer and how?

3. Can I make a success in N.Y. City teaching voice & managing artists?

4. Is my husband to be called abroad as Commercial Attache & when & where?

5. Can we save our property in Florida?

6. The best way for ME to make money so I’ll be free, etc.
