This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 27th day of July, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - [3111], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by the book, THERE IS A RIVER.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.]

Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:15 A. M. Eastern War Time. …, Calif.

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, [3111] here.

3. As we find, from a digression of nerve forces through the body, in particular centers that have been cut off by pressures in the nerve centers, there is a depletion of nerve energies - also an inactivity of the limbs towards a general condition through the body.

4. While all the organs of the central blood supply are involved, the solar plexus nerve centers are more involved.

5. These conditions may be aided, temporarily. As to whether there will be the full response will depend as much upon the attitude with which the body approaches the applications, as to whether the responses will be of the permanent nature. When the body is being healed, or helped, is it being healed or helped for what? For itself, or to the glory of the purpose for which it enters this material experience? Is it to be for self-indulgence, or for the thought and happiness of others?

6. The body will apply these in self, as the material applications are used which we will indicate.

7. We would use the Wet Cell Appliance carrying alternately the vibrations of Gold, Atomidine, and Silver.

8. Make the regular strength charge.

9. Use different containers and different connections, especially for the Solutions. The connections should not be left in Solution when not in use, but should be kept very clean.

10. Cleanse or polish the attachment plates each time before and after using.

11. Attach the Appliance each day for thirty minutes.

12. The first day, when using the Gold (in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold to each ounce of Distilled Water - and we would use at least four ounces), - the large plate through which the Gold Solution passes vibratorially, would be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct, or four fingers from the navel center to the right and four fingers up from that point. The copper plate would be attached to the lower part of the 9th dorsal center, or between the 9th and 10th dorsal.

13. The next day, when using the Atomidine (in the proportions of one ounce commercial strength to two ounces of Distilled water), - the large plate through which the Atomidine passes vibratorially would also be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus, while the copper plate would be attached to the 3rd cervical.

14. The third day, when using the Silver Solution (in the proportions of one ounce of a two percent Nitrate of Silver Solution in three ounces of Distilled Water), - the large plate passing through the solution,or through which the solution passes vibratorially, would be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus, while the copper plate would be attached at the 4th lumbar.

15. Alternate the attachments and solutions in this manner from day to day.

16. Each solution should be renewed after being used fifteen times. The charging solution for the Appliance should be renewed every thirty days.

17. Following the use of the Appliance, each day, massage the body especially in the areas indicated, - 4th lumbar, 9th dorsal, 3rd cervical, and then the rest of the spine and the body, - with this combination of oils; adding these in the ORDER NAMED:

Russian White Oil (or Nujol or Usoline)…4 ounces, Sassafras Root Oil…1/2 ounce, Cedar Wood Oil…1 ounce, Oil of Pine Needles…1/2 ounce, Peanut Oil…2 ounces.

Shake these together, for they will tend to separate, and massage especially into those areas indicated - but along the rest of the spine also, including the limbs and particularly the feet.

18. In the matter of the diet, - keep to those things that are body building.

19. Use the vitamins to keep the strength of body and to maintain a better equilibrium, - A, D, and B-1 Complex. The A and D take of morning, the B-1 take when ready to retire at night. Both of these should be of the B-1 brand.

20. Ready for questions.

21. (Q) Will this treatment relieve the difficult breathing and feeling of weight and oppression at base of throat and upper chest? (A) This should relieve, if the massages are kept as indicated for the body. The Atomidine attachment to the 3rd cervical, especially, should relieve this pressure - this only attached every third day, you see.

22. (Q) Ache and pain in lower back and sometimes across lower front of stomach? (A) All of the conditions should be aided, if the applications are followed correctly.

23. (Q) [Left out of original copy] Regarding the Appliance: Is the stainless steel attachment plate alright as a substitute for the nickel? (A) This will do.

24. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 6/24/43 Questions submitted for Life Rdg.:

For the life reading I believe you will want my full name ”[…]” born about 8 P.M., July 10th, 1894 at Eau Claire, Wisconsin. For the first life reading I would like a general survey of my past with a view to better understanding how I arrived at my present condition. I would like to know of any hidden talents I have which I could still develop in this appearance and if I am following the proper vocation. During all these years even when I was most miserable physically I have felt deep down that better things were in store for me during the last part of my life. I have a great desire to crowd into what is left of this earth life everything that might be good and constructive both for myself and others I may come in contact with. I hope my life reading will act as a guide to this end. With deep appreciation of your desire to help me, I remain

Sincerely, [3111]

For the readings I will be at home …, Calif.

R2. 8/4/43 [3111]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I have received the psychic reading of my case made July 27th and was very much interested and impressed. I have already ordered the wet cell appliance from Mr. Godfrey and will follow the treatment you outline in every way. I have a feeling I am going to be helped and needless to say feel very grateful to you. I would like a follow up reading a few months from now to see how far I have improved. I am looking forward to the life reading on Oct. 8th with great interest and hope. I have given several of my friends copies of “There is a River” and in my small way will try and pass the message of your work along. I have read “A Search For God” and am going over it again more slowly. This is the outline of a way of life that’s sincerely worth while trying to follow and I know I am going to get help and encouragement from its study. On almost every page I found one or more sentences expressing truth I could vaguely feel but could not put into words. With gratitude for your efforts in my behalf, I remain

Yours sincerely, [3111]

R3. 9/3/43 [3111]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce:

Many thanks for your nice letter of Aug. 14th which I have delayed answering before as I thought I would be able to report on the use of the appliance and the other treatment suggested. However the appliance arrived with the jar badly broken and I cannot start to use it until the replacement arrives. I hope to be able to start treatments within the next few weeks and will report progress after following out your instructions for a period. I am looking forward with deep interest to the life reading on Oct. 28th and have sent in questions in one of my previous letters [Par. R1 above]. With great appreciation for your interest I remain

Yours very truly, [3111]

R4. 10/16/43 [3111]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I have been away for a few weeks or would have answered your letter of Sept. 18th before this. I have finally got the electric appliance in good working order, have taken six treatments and will continue each day from now on. Perhaps we can make another check up on my condition three or four months from now. I have a feeling I am going to be much improved and am looking forward to better days ahead. I am looking forward with great interest to my life reading on October 28th. In case the questions I sent you in a previous letter for the life reading have been lost I will outline them again here.

1. Some information as to the most important of my previous earth incarnations so I may better understand myself today.
2. Best way to develop in the remainder of this earth life and render service to others.
3. Any talents I may have that I could still develop and if any change of vocation was suggested. With deep thanks for your interest and help I remain

Yours sincerely, [3111]

R5. 10/28/43 See 3111-2.

R6. 5/6/44 [3111]‘s letter to A.M. Godfrey:

Dear Mr. Godfrey:

As I seem to be making progress with my electric appliance treatments I am anxious to continue the treatments for some time to come. I have tried my best to get supplies here but cannot seem to locate any. I wonder if you could help me out by sending me the following:

Chloride of Gold - 6 - 6 ounce bottles (Please mark on bottle how many grains in each bottle) Atomidine - 6 - 6 ounce bottles Zinc - 300 Grains in 30 grain pieces Copper Sulfate - 15 lbs. in 1/2 lb. packages Willow Charcoal - 5 lbs. in 1/2 lb. packages

If you can ship these by express as soon as possible I will greatly appreciate it. I am enclosing a check for $25 and we can make any adjustment later on.

Very sincerely, [3111]

Background

Background

B1. 5/12/43 [3111]‘s letter: “Had ordinary childhood diseases but nothing serious until 1915. I never was very robust and between 1910 and 1915 worked in an office and attended night school and may have put a strain on my system it could not take. In Dec. 1915, for the first and last time I had a very serious nose hemorrhage and was several weeks in bed recovering and felt weak for months afterward. On a morning in the spring of 1916 while walking up a slight hill I suddenly felt a sharp burning sensation at the back of my throat, just above the breastbone and a slight shortness of breath. During the next few weeks this shortness of breath turned into a decided sense of oppression on my chest, particularly along the breastbone, then suddenly out over my chest and back and the act of breathing became very difficult. With every breath it felt as if I had a weight on my chest and still [steel?] bands around it keeping me from fully expanding my lungs and taking in enough air. This was accompanied with severe backaches and at times I was so short of breath I could not eat solid food. The family doctor was afraid my breathing muscles were becoming paralyzed but he did not let me know this until later when I had improved a little through rest, heavy iron shots and still other strong nervous stimulants. From the time of the first attack until now I have never been able to take a real deep full breath and expand my lungs in a free normal manner. The sense of weight and oppression is always there, sometimes much worse than others. I have managed to get along in a restricted way but have found out I must never get extra tired and need at least 9 hrs. sleep each night. I have been assured that my trouble does to seem to be organic but I feel there must be some obscure physical basis behind these symptoms. It may be of interest that in 1917 I tried hypnotic suggestions from the Dr. Quackenbos [Quackenbush] with whom you had some contact but did not get any apparent results. I believe you can understand how over many years I have developed a decided fear complex and perhaps baby myself too much but I am sure if it was possible to obtain even a measure of relief it would change my way of life entirely… I have tried many remedies and doctors with little success, and while sometimes greatly discouraged have felt deep down that some day I would get in touch with someone or something that could help.”

B2. Questions submitted:

1. Please give cause and relief for: Chronic difficult breathing and feeling of weight and oppression at base of throat and upper chest.
2. Ache and pain for the past 6 mos. in lower back and also sometimes across lower front of stomach.
3. Burning feeling and ache in upper chest which has bothered me for the last month. (I believe this to be from a cold, but while it does not seem to get worse it also does not seem to want to clear up. Also have a very slight desire to cough at times.)
4. Nervous condition.
5. Please give advice as to constructive program for building up entire system based upon present condition.
