This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 2nd day of December, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [3384], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., through mother - Mrs. [5009].

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. (Notes read to and transcribed by Jeanette Fitch.) Harmon Bro.]

Time of Reading At home, 10:55 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern War Time. Tucson, Arizona.

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 here, [3384].

3. Now, As we find, in considering the pathological conditions with this body, the psychological must also be taken into consideration. For as indicated, physically the body reactions are very good. Under certain stresses or strains the nerve system, in coordination with the imaginative and the central system, causes anxiety and break-ups.

4. We may rid these conditions from this body if there will be added an osteopathic correction to the 9th dorsal and the bracheal center, the first second, third, fourth dorsal; coordinating the cervicals with such adjustments and corrections.

5. Have some six or seven of these osteopathic corrections.

6. Also we would have a very low form of electrical forces, or the low body electrical forces produced by the use of the Radio-Active Appliance. There’s not a physical defect, not a mental defect, but an incoordination between the imaginative and the central nervous system. Use the Radio-Active Appliance an hour each day, making the attachments to the left ankle and right wrist, the next time the left wrist and right ankle, and so on, but be sure that the same connections are used each time.

7. And use this hour as the period of meditation. Read and study carefully the 30th of Deuteronomy, also the 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th of John. Know, as ye read that these words are applicable to yourself indeed. Not that you attempt to hypnotize yourself, but rather knowing deep within the soul-self that all the forces or powers of creative energies that give life itself are within yourself; that you can trust wholly in the Creator, the divine within. Make those choices that ye must in every activity of body, mind, soul, trust wholly in Him - that ye must let thy will be one with Him, without reservation, WITHOUT reservation.

8. As ye apply these suggestions, as ye read, as ye meditate, during the period of the application of the Radio-Active Appliance, do make personal application, practical application of such tenets and truths and ye will come out, - ye will know that the ability is within self. Do that.

9. Ready for questions.

10. (Q) Would appreciate suggestion of name and place of physician who can administer treatment suggested. (A) The most physician needed is within self. The physician is the Christ-Consciousness.

Any good osteopath may make the adjustments. These are only as the guiding influence until ye make application of the low electrical forces. These are not from without. There is no charge of electricity save that in your own body. This is only equalizing - by and through the meditating upon the divine truths that are manifested in self.

11. (Q) Any suggestions to help further repair of facial injury? (A) This may only be done by the use of oils that will be healing. Camphorated Oil is best. Keep this area dressed with this oil once or twice a day.

Do not trust in forces other than those that are within self. Remember, thy body is the temple of the living God. And He promises to meet you. As you attune yourself by the outer circulation, the inner circulation (through the use of the vibrations set up in the Radio Active Appliance), ye may easily attune the divine in thee to the divine that is of the universal consciousness. Ye can by the will of self make self in accord. Do it. Live it. Be it.

12. We are through with this reading.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 12/21/43 [3384]‘s letter: “First I want to thank you very much for the reading of Dec. 2nd. I have been following your instructions as close as possible, already having had six osteopathic treatments. Also today I received the Radio Active Appliance and this morning took my first hour of it.

“I would like very much to have a check reading at your earliest convenience for which I am enclosing my check for $10.00. Dr. A. C. Delwarte, 118 E. Broadway, Tucson, did the osteopathic adjustments. I would also like to ask the following two questions if possible. 1. How long should it take to clear this tremor up if I follow your instructions completely? 2. What could I use to clear up the skin irritation that I have had off and on for the past few years?

“Mr. Cayce, on the morning of Dec. 2, between 8:30 and 9:30 (the time allotted for my reading) I sat here in our home in a very comfortable chair and tried to follow your instructions as to what to do during the reading. I seemed perfectly relaxed and just seemed to sort of drift along in my thoughts until at 9:07 by my watch (or 11:07 your time if my watch were correct) I suddenly seemed to sort of snap out of it and come wide awake. From then on I couldn’t seem to settle down again. I told my wife a couple of hours later, when I picked her up down town, that I would bet anything the reading ended between 11:05 and 11:10 your time. In a letter from my mother written noon of the same day she said that she had sat and meditated but also felt that the reading was over at 11:10 your time. Neither of us had any way of knowing the actual time of the ending until receiving your letter a few days later and finding 11:05 EWT was correct.

“I might add for your information, Mr. Cayce, I have never in my life thought much of God or Christ. I have always believed more or less in what I saw and let the rest ‘come what may’. After reading THERE IS A RIVER one must believe in something. But after reading the chapters in the Bible you gave for me, it just seemed that they hit me right between the eyes. My wife and I are both reading about three or four chapters of the Bible daily and are learning.

“Again thank you for everything…”

Background

Background

B1. Background: Married, no children; pilot, instructor; Congregational, Born 2/28/11, in Ill.

B2. 10/27/43 Letter from [3384]: “Through friends of my mother, Mrs. [5009], I have heard of your wonderful power to help people… Since childhood I have had a nervous tremor which has seemed to increase until it now has become a serious hindrance in my present work and any work that I attempt; my handwriting is practically illegible. I have on various occasions consulted doctors and just recently, through my cousin, Dr. Henry George III, underwent a complete physical examination including electroencephalogram, cardiograph, and spinal puncture. All tests came out perfectly normal and while some of the doctors made some suggestions as a whole they were at a loss in giving me any helpful advice…”

B3. 11/1/43 [3384]‘s Mothers’ letter: “I can assure you that this young man stands to have his entire life ruined unless he soon gets help. Basically this tremor (since childhood) has crept upon him with now a report from the clinic he recently went through that it is initially perhaps a physical thing with years of mind build-up which now affects his earning and fear possesses him…”

B4. 11/8/43 Mother’s letter: “He has learned little tricks physically, to hide some of his difficulties but the tremor increases and up to recently in this work he has had a dreadful time getting work since he cannot write and even in feeding himself now he holds his fork against his lips in a trick way to steady and prevent the metal rattling against his teeth. This detail is to show you a little something and yet he has his rating in Civilian Instructor… He was put through a round of clinical tests in … in June for a month - the results being sedatives which steady him and a diagnosis was that at early age he evidently, after some childhood illness, some set of ganglion was slightly impaired and then as a sensitive child, left with this unsteadiness, showing all thru in his school work and then later on more and more because an exaggerated mind build up. They recently tested him thru hypnosis and he seemed to be more steady but only while under these tests. They sent him back home with sedatives and controls to practise which only seem to make him now more tense. He had in July the good fortune to be taken on at the civilian school as “Chief” instructor of instrument flight - the first real job he has had and low there was a gas tank leak and in mid air the engine stopped and my son had to make a forced crash landing (this 4 weeks ago). He used his head and neither of the students received any injury but he took the blow in the face (and the plane cracked up) and a frontal bone crack which had to heal before the now present return to the hospital for a rebuild of his nose which was badly smashed (compound fracture and has lost much blood), but his great concern is the job and physical welfare that they do not attribute this to his unsteadiness or that the army may not soon reclassify and throw him out. The psychology of being as he is is dreadful. It is a mysteriously queer condition. Even his abdomen has this quiver and tremor now seems quite general. Everything is jeopardized, his possibility of not being able to get any work if he is thrown out of this instructing in which he is so well trained and self done - against terrific odds. One of the neurologists called him “Exhibit A for determination” to get where he is against such odds, as an instructor - when he can’t write his name. His only way of writing is typing and even with the machine, hitting the correct letters is some strain now.”

B5. 11/19/43 Questions besides those at the end of 3384-1: “Do you feel this tremor can be cured or overcome? If so, how long do you think it will take? Would it be better that I come to Virginia Beach for treatment you prescribe or can I obtain it elsewhere? Do you feel me physically able to continue making my livelihood as an aeroplane pilot, as I have trained myself to do this and have hopes to continue in it? My wife and I believe very sincerely in the power that is given you and our hearts and minds will be with you during the hour you have given me.”
