This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 23rd day of April, 1944, in accordance with request made by the self - [3280], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading Set bet. 3:30 to 4:30 P. M. Eastern War Time. …, La.

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. As we find there are great improvements in the general conditions of the body.

3. Those changes made by manipulations have been well. The effects of the stimulation in the supplementary activities of the vitamins for body are good.

4. While we would keep the KalDak, we would not increase the quantity. In fact, we would leave it off occasionally. When it is necessary, because of strain or lack of vitality, then more may be added.

5. But the gentle massage will do more to make for the quieting of the nerves. This should be as a gentle movement, not so much in the present the direct correction of subluxations, unless there should be some definite pressures found or indicated - as may arise from accidents or strain of any kind, but let the stress be put in the quieting of the general nervous system. For, the vitality and energy is under a strain when there is an overtaxing of the body physically or mentally, so that it breaks the connections between cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous systems - through the areas of the emunctory patches in the areas where sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems connect the more thoroughly.

6. Relaxations, then, with the general activities, and keeping the KalDak, should keep improvements and corrections for the body.

7. (Q) What else can be done to calm down nervous tension? (A) As indicated, just the general massage, gently given but soothingly given. We find that the violet ray (hand machine, bulb applicator), if not given too long, would quiet the nerves for the body so it could rest of evening. Apply this along the spine in a gentle manner, face and neck and head; not more than a minute, however.

8. (Q) Is present sweat-bath treatment in accordance with what was prescribed in first reading, or is some other kind of apparatus intended? (A) In the main this is very good. For these can be gradually left off, unless there are some activities causing greater strain, by pressures of toxic forces in body. Watch these, and occasionally have a thorough round of the suggested treatments.

9. We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 11/25/69 [3280]‘s ltr. [from England]: “Having been myself, when serving as British Consul in New Orleans, 1942-46, one of those lucky enough to receive a Health Reading from Edgar Cayce, I have maintained a lively interest in everything to do with him and with A.R.E., and I think I have here in my library very nearly everything that has been published about him and about A.R.E. …I and many of my associates have come or are coming - to the view - that UFOs are connected with life - on other levels - or dimensions. To assist me in my research in these matters, could you kindly tell me whether in fact you have found hints anywhere in Edgar Cayce’s material such as might point to these…?

R2. 12/19/69 Robert Clapp’s ltr. to [3280]: Dear Mr. [3280]: To my knowledge no further information in connection with flying saucers has been revealed in our indexing of the Cayce readings. Unfortunately no one asked Cayce the questions at that time which would have solved the mystery about flying saucers.

Sincerely, Robert O. Clapp, Director, Membership Services

R3. 10/12/93 [3280]‘s ltr. [from England], he wrote: I am a retired member of the British Diplomatic Service (i.e. Foreign Service) and I had the honour to be stationed as the Representative of the Crown and of the British Government, as H.M.’s Consul at New Orleans, La., during the years 1942 to 1946. While I was there it was my great good fortune to learn about Edgar Cayce, as did also my predecessor, David Rodgers, who left in 1942 to go as British Ambassador to Mexico. Both of us had Health Readings from Edgar Cayce, and I think David Rodgers was fortunate also to get a Life Reading, which I did not. My Health Readings was … given on October 12, 1943 and, as I type these words I realize - TO MY VAST ASTONISHMENT - that it has been precisely FIFTY YEARS AGO to this very day! I have had many experiences that have made me feel that I have not lost contact with Edgar Cayce, but this one - the date on which I am now contacting you is truly astounding.

…I read the book, THERE IS A RIVER, even before I got my Health Reading (which, I forgot to mention, did a great deal to speed my recovery after I had contracted Asian Typhus aboard a ship coming across the Pacific to the USA in 1942).

I believe David Rodgers and I were the only British people ever to have received Readings. Am I correct? [JT’s note: No.] I am nearly 86 years old. (Born on April 26, 1908)
