This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office in Pinewood on Lake Drive, Va. Beach, Va., this 6th day of April, 1932, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. [341].

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mildred Davis and [341].]

Time of Reading 11:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time.

1. GC: You will have before you the entity [341], present in this room, who seeks guidance in his efforts to bring the physical and mental forces of his body in attunement with the spiritual creative forces within himself and in the universe. Please give him that counsel which he needs at this time and answer the questions which he will ask.

2. EC: In bringing the activities of a body in accord with its purposes, aims, desires, both mental and physical, that accord with the spiritual influences of the body, no better injunction may be given than “Study to show thyself approved unto God, rightly dividing the words of truth”, rightly DIVINING the words of truth.

3. In physical conditions, these then become subservient to those forces as are creative in their activity through a physical body; for “whether I live or whether I die, it be of the Lord”. Then, there are those losings of self in the activities as are seen in ones conducting themselves through that that brings the channels of activity, dependent upon the spiritual influences, whether they be the mental or the physical being.

4. In the physical forces, keep those as near in accord as possible with that as has been attained in the knowledge of the physical being, as accorded with those with those of the correct rules as respecting the care of a physical being. These, then, accord with nature in its activity. Guided by the mental and spiritual must bring the very best as may be accorded by that entity in its activity in any given or specific experience. Ready for questions.

5. (Q) Would you suggest any changes in the type or time of the meditations I am holding? (A) If changes are made let these be as suggestions from the meditation itself.

6. (Q) Any studies that would be recommended for the mental body at this time? (A) Anatomy would be very good.

7. (Q) Should this body gradually discontinue the use of meats in its diets? (A) If that is where the spirit leads the body for the cleansing, that there may be the better activity of the forces in the mental and spiritual nature, then lead in that direction. Meats do not defile the body unless there be the inability of the changing of the vibrations in same; for oft we will find the necessity of returning to same for strength in the physical.

8. (Q) Has the body had sufficient number of osteopathic treatments, or should they be continued? (A) They should be continued occasionally - be well that these be kept. If the head and neck exercises are taken, not necessary to be so often.

9. (Q) Would once or twice a month be sufficient? (A) That depends upon the conditions - the body will feel those, just as will the desires. Understand what it means, studying to show self approved. As the desires come, as those things that are in accord or adverse to variations bring about the differences in conditions in body, these will be indicated by the results - for, “By their fruits ye shall know them.”

10. (Q) Any other counsel for the body at this time? (A) Keep that as has been committed unto thee inviolate, knowing there will come that that will make for those approvals; not so much OF self, but IN self. Fight the good fight, for henceforth there is laid up the crown of righteousness, for whom He did call He did predestine. Kick not against the pricks, nor become rebellious in any manner; for He is in His holy temple, and WISHES to meet thee there.

11. We are through.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 10/4/32 See Ck. Physical 341-38 in re eyes, drowsiness, etc.

R1. He [341] admitted he had been under considerable nervous strain from overactivity & not enough sleep, relaxation, etc., of late.

R2. 8/3/41 “It worked like a charm! I feel like a different person.”

R3. 10/27/75 Report from A.R.E. member, Warren J. Wolfe, on his wife, Hallie H. Wolfe:

Hallie Wolfe’s diagnosis: “Torticollis - Muscles Spasms - Neck.

“She had chiropractic adjustments to spine for one year in an attempt to eliminate an almost continuous headache, and osteopathic treatment; then went to St. Joseph’s Hospital. Had brain checked for tumor, negative findings. Then tried acupuncture; got only temporary relief. Her headaches continued; back of head sore to touch. Chiropractic adjustments gave only temporary relief. Headache would return before she got home from chiropractor’s office. The doctor said muscle was pulling vertebrae out of position; used collar around neck, but did not help.

“It was found that her spine was misaligned; atlas vertebrae off-center; had large protrusion of vertebrae at bottom of neck. The doctor said she probably had childhood injury. Hallie said she fell off horse several times.

“Readings used: (Incomplete list) 52-1, 487-11, 341-47, 779-4, etc. Treatment applied: 1) colonics, six or seven given during period of approximately three months. She got one massage at Virginia Beach, which was VERY helpful. 2) Series of sweat baths and massage; got a heat lamp and a plastic sort of poncho. Hallie sat on low stool with lamp under her for .5 hr.; then placed humidifier (removed lamp) using in cycle: spirits of wintergreen, witchhazel, then iodine for .5 hr. Then a massage was given with half olive oil and half peanut oil. I massaged knots out of neck muscles as shown by therapist at Virginia Beach. We did this per the readings for about nine months. It really worked.

“If you would write to Hallie, she could give names of all the doctors and the acupuncture clinic in Washington, D.C. I have a terrible memory for people’s names. Also, if you’d contact the chiropractor, whose office is on Patapsco Avenue in Baltimore, you just MIGHT pick up another Referral Doctor. He had ALL of the Edgar Cayce books that you can buy from a bookstore and seemed interested. After about eight months, she only needed the treatment every month or so. Also, Hallie did not sweat very much until the sweat baths were begun, and she was always constipated. We overcame this by using All-Bran cereal. Another thing we did was use Vitamin B-12 for her nerves and Vitamin C for her sinuses (rose hips and grapefruit juice) but NOT taken at breakfast with cereal. Hallie had knots as big as grapes in her neck muscles, extending sometimes down past her shoulder blades. Sometimes it would take me .5 hr. to get them all out. In the beginning we massaged in five day cycles; (might have been three) then left off for three days, then another five day cycle. We did this for several months.

“Also after the massage, we removed oil with rubbing alcohol, and this per the readings. As I remember it, in 1972-1973… Of course, we also prayed and used laying on of hands…”
