This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 10th day of January, 1944, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [2828].

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis and Jeanette Fitch, Stenos. Harmon Bro.]

Time of Reading 10:50 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern War Time. …, Virginia.

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; this we have had before: [2828].

3. This, as it may be given, is not intended other than that the entity in its seeking should indeed interpret the law of the Lord. For what is stated in His word, isn’t fooling. It means what it says. The law of the Lord is perfect. It converteth the soul. If the soul be perfect in its purpose and ideal - whatever the state may be, it will call on the Lord. It will rely on the Lord. It will use every measure to comply with His will and purpose. His purpose was for man to subdue, to conquer, to use, to apply the earth in its every use for man.

4. When it was given “Whosoever sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed”. That is, in this case, the blood of his will, of this purpose, of this physical desire to carry on in his own ways of activity and by those conditions in the body itself being thwarted. The entity thwarted others and is meeting it in self. That is karma. In the blood of the Christ as was shed karma is met and then it becomes the law, not of cause and effect, but of being justified by faith in Him. Then, may we use, may we apply those things of the material earth AND the spiritual combination to become again sons of God. Not sons of Belial or of the devil.

5. In conditions here, then, the type of lamp is helpful, but is not preventing at times conditions making inroads upon the body-forces. Do get the ultra violet light; the hand lamp may do, the stand lamp is better. DO apply all in the manner as has been indicated. Not just a makeshift. If it is the best the body can do - then he must take the consequences.

But there are lamps still to be obtained from the manufacturers of those, in various places.

6. The information will not do it for you. Did the Lord prevent Abel from being slain? Did He prevent Cain from slaying? Did He not say, “It is in thine own self to do”? So it is with individuals who may be warned or directed. It is within yourself to do or not to do.

7. As for applications that may be made by others, these are done very well. Do keep them up, with the oils. Do keep up with the diets. Do keep all as is given; don’t add, don’t take from.

8. Ready for questions.

9. (Q) What is the distance from body and length of time the ultra violet and green glass are to be applied? (A) We have just given that this is NOT the right type of lamp. It should be the Mercury light, thirty-seven inches from the body, while the green glass should be projected fourteen inches from the body.

10. (Q) What physical measures should be used or applied to the body when one of the attacks come on? (A) Prayer is the best measure. Relaxation by any good hypnotic would be very well.

11. (Q) Anything that might warn of approaching attacks? (A) Has it not been illustrated for thee? If the good man of the house knew when the thief was coming, he would be prepared. To be prepared would be to have the sword of the spirit, the purpose of the mind; and the conditions will not be broken up.

12. (Q) Has the recent attack been brought on by flu or the condition prevalent in the body? (A) Brought on by cold, congestion. It hasn’t been through flu in this particular body, but more congestion - partially through anxiety.

13. (Q) Are attacks cyclic to any extent? (A) Read what has been given. You will find this is included. Yes! It is the self the body is meeting.

14. (Q) Please explain the purpose, or power of the green glass used here? (A) As has been given again and again, through this channel the green glass deflects certain rays that cause greater healing power from the ultra violet light for meeting the wasting or destructive forces in the human body.

15. (Q) Any other advice? (A) Do as has been given.

16. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 1/17/44 Wife’s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Casey [Cayce],

Your reading for [2828] was read and I had a feeling all along that the light we had been using was not the right kind although it was the very best that I could do.

Mr. Casey, perhaps if you would be kind enough to write me a letter that I could send General Electric along with my request for for this lamp they might more fully realize the importance of letting me have one if they have it. When I wrote to them before they only wrote me of the danger of such lamps being used by anyone other than a competent physician, they did not even quote the prices or say that they had such lamps in stock.

Surely I can get one somewhere and I am going to keep right on trying. Hoping to hear from you soon and that you can help me, I am,

Very Sincerely yours. Mrs. […]

P.S. [2828] sends you his kindest regards.

R2. 1/29/44 EC’s letter to [[2828]‘s wife]:

Mrs. […] …, Virginia

Dear Mrs. […];-

I have yours of the 17th. I don’t think that it would be practical or right for me to give your letter to the General Electric, for I am not any more qualified to use one of these lamps than you would be without directions from a physician or some higher source in which we have faith and confidence. Yes, I think you will be able to get your lamp. I have never known in the 43 years the information telling a person to use a thing that could not be obtained somewhere. Sometimes it has required quite awhile for a person to get it, but they got it if they kept trying.

Powers and Anderson in Richmond or Norfolk ought to be able to help you out on this. You might get one of your local doctors to help you out.

Hoping that you will be able to do this soon, and trusting that you are all feeling a whole lot better, I am with every good wish,

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC/mpw

R3. 5/11/44 [2828]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I want a check Reading at your earliest convenience.

Let me know just when and I will send balance of application along with questions.

I am slightly improved but I am far below par. Seems like it is impossible for me to get back on the right track. Seems like it is easier, much easier for me to go into “nose dives” than it is for me to climb. I know that all the trouble is with me, but, I haven’t given up nor do I expect to. Surely there is some help somewhere for me and I hope you can help me find it.

Awaiting your reply, I am,

Very sincerely,

R4. 6/19/44 [2828]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I have followed closely your prescribed treatment and am feeling only fair and after all you have said and done I am better but far from showing definite improvement. Am looking forward to the 28th. between 3:30 and 4:30 and I will be here at home (the above address) at that time.

A few questions I want to ask:

Is my health improving as it should? Why is it that at times I seem to go into a tailspin, so to speak, and it seems hard for me to come out of it? Has the ultra-violet light helped me any? Do I have multiple-sclerosis and if so can it be cured? Why is it difficult for me to see clearly throughout the day? Why do I have a burning sensation in my legs from back of knees down through the calf of both legs? It is very pronounced that when I close my eyes I loose my sense of equilibrium also when I walk in the dark why is that? Shall I continue the light treatments? How is my general condition now?

Awaiting your reply, I am

Very sincerely,

R5. 6/28/44 See 2828-6.
