Vegetarian) This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 23rd day of December, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [3481], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by the book, THERE IS A RIVER.

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

Time of Reading 4:15 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 corrective measures; go over the body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body and those vibrations, as well as those activities about the body.

3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions - physical or pathological, as well as psychological.

4. Individuals can become too zealous or too active without consideration of the physical, mental and spiritual. True, all influences are first spiritual; but the mind is the builder and the body is the result. Spiritualizing the body without the mind being wholly spiritualized may bring such results as we find indicated here, so as to raise even the kundaline forces in the body without their giving full expression.

5. The lack of elements is causing such disturbances in this body. Not that there is a condemnation of the purposes or ideals of this entity; yet these are not wholly in keeping with that which will bring the better elements for a coordinated physical, mental and spiritual expression of this entity.

6. These, then, are the sources of disturbances here: etherealizing mentally and the lack of materializing physically in body-forces; from excesses of diets that do not supply the full or complete needs of a body physically active in the vibrations that surround this body.

7. If the body were in other environs, quite different results might be obtained; but the body must choose for itself. For know, as given of old, there is today - now - set before thee good and evil, life and death - choose thou. Think not who will descend from heaven to bring thee a message, nor who would come up from the dead nor from over the sea; for lo, it is within thine own body, thine own mind, thine own self that the choice must be made.

8. Then, take rather a normal, well balanced diet; not too much in the beginning, but balance the diet. Not quantities of flesh, no; but fish and fowl, yes - these in moderate quantities.

9. Those disturbances in the caecum and appendix area are the effects of too little bulk in the diet, not sufficient protein, not sufficient of those activities that bring a renewing of energy.

10. Not that decaying flesh to the body is not abhorrent, but so balance the diet that the gastric flows of the pylorus and duodenum are such that the proteins are cared for in such manners that the body will gain in energy.

11. Use KalDak as a body-builder; this taken for this body in V-8 juices. Dissolve a level teaspoonful and take twice each day, morning and evening. Stir thoroughly in a small quantity of hot water and then fill the small tumbler - not a large one, but about two and a half to three ounces - with the V-8 juice and drink.

12. These do and take. And keep those periods of meditation. Do prepare the body in the environ for this deep meditation, and there will be brought those abilities that are sought. To be helpful for others, such must first be accomplished in self. Do not ask others to do that ye cannot demonstrate in thine own self. For, God is not mocked, and whatsoever a man or woman soweth, that he or she must also reap.

13. Ready for questions.

14. (Q) What caused extreme dizziness over a period of a month this summer and will it return? (A) It will return unless there is a better balance created in the replenishing or body-building forces active in system; and of such the body can and will assimilate.

15. (Q) What is condition of intestinal tract? (A) As just indicated, the lack of sufficient bulk in same has resulted in gas formations and the tendency for the lactic acids and juices to act one upon the other. Beware! else ye may have a rash that will become very aggravating - in forehead, arms, groin.

16. (Q) Are the pituitary, pineal, thyroid and adrenal glands working? (A) Overworking! under the existent conditions, as indicated; but there is not the proper distribution of these activities through the system, because of the lack of vital energies. Ye are low in red blood cells about three million!

17. (Q) Is the magnetic pad I am using helpful? (A) Momentarily, yes. What is needed is more vigorous activity with a greater stimulation in body-building energies. More calories are also needed.

18. (Q) What is the condition of the female organs? (A) All of these suffer under the disturbances, and the raising of the kundaline forces is causing activities here that are not in keeping with best conditions. Use alkaline douches at least once each week - two tablespoonsful of Glyco-Thymoline to a quart of body-temperature water, in a Fountain Syringe.

19. (Q) Can my vision be improved? (A) By head and neck exercises, provided body-building forces are added.

20. We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 12/31/43 [3481]‘s letter to EC:

Mr. Edward [sic] Cayce Virginia Beach

Dear Mr. Cayce:

By all means give me March 8 [for the Life Reading] - if that is the nearest date you have available.

It would be interesting to know WHY you could not keep 12/28/43 - for I definitely felt that nothing was happening. Everything seemed wrong, whereas, the 23rd - was a grand meditation and I felt the contact - was the 28th missing on my account or something from your end of the line?

Thanks kindly I shall follow instructions.

Sincerely [3481]

R2. 1/6/44 EC’s letter: ”…Just one of those things that we can’t explain.”

Mr. Edward [sic] Cayce Virginia Beach, Virginia

Psychic Reading 3481-1 December 23rd, 1943 4:15 to 4:30

Dear Mr. Cayce:

In line with your suggestion I immediately ordered KalDak and started taking it January 11th and have continued up to date.

Have been taking Kelp for the past two months, this gives iron and iodine same as fish as I have wanted to stay on my diet of not taking Fish, fowl or meat, as near as possible.

Still have the exhaustion by noon every day. Some days almost impossible to stay up and work. Skin has spots.

I SHOULD LIKE TO HAVE A CHECK READING FOR THE PHYSICAL.

Have come into contact with a new medicine within the last few days Streptolin put out by Landon & Co of Los Angeles, Calif. Have started taking this also. Will it help my system?

I find the KalDak has given me a bloated, swollen appearance, especially the stomach. Have started doing some exercise, however it does not seem to help. Kindly advise when I may have the CHECK READING?

Yours truly, [3481]

R4. 4/23/44 [3481]‘s letter to EC:

Mr. Edgar Cayce Association for Research & Enlightenment Virginia Beach, Virginia

Dear Mr. Cayce:

Your letter of April 5th received, making another appointment for the Life reading and also a check-physical reading.

I note you put the check physical first - would it be possible to get the LIFE READING JUNE 27TH AT 10:30 to 11:30 AND the physical in August.

If this is possible I would appreciate it very much as I have been trying to get that Life Reading for almost a year now and before making plans for vacation would like the reading as I might want to use the time studying or other plans - depending upon what the Life reading brings forth.

Please advise in the enclosed stamped envelope, air mail, if this meets with your approval.

Also find attached my check for the check physical reading $10.50 the 50 cents to cover cost of the bulletin “PHYSICAL READINGS” which I would appreciate your mailing.

With kind regards for your Success in your Life Work,

Sincerely, [3481]

R6. 8/13/44 [3481]‘s letter to EC:

Mr. Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment Virginia Beach, Virginia

Re: CHECK PHYSICAL READING August 24th - 3:30 4:30

Dear Mr. Cayce:

In giving my check reading kindly go over the body and nervous system and see what corrections can be made.

I have recently had all foods sour as soon as taken, what causes this? And what should be done about it?

I have taken KalDak as suggested in previous reading, this has been taken continuous.

In previous reading you mentioned the Kundalini - what is the condition now?

Attached is Air Mail stamp, kindly rush my reading as I am planning on going out of town around the first of September.

Thanking you, and assuring you that I will keep the above time in Meditation, at my home at …

Sincerely, [3481]

B1. 7/13/43 [3481]‘s letter to EC:

Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Va.

Dear Mr. Cayce;

Have written you several times and this is urgent. My Doctor, Dr. P. Graffagnino, thinks my appendix should come out. Have been ill again and constant pain in that region. Also soreness in all the small & large intestines.

Am against operating unless positively necessary, have a girl in my office that has no experience and the worry of being ill and not knowing how the insurance business will be run - while ill at home. Can telephone her at least.

Would it be possible to trade dates with someone - don’t think I can go on this way, and some voice keeps saying “Consult Cayce Consult Cayce”. I am so very timid about writing you in this way, however, this is urgent and I must know. Thanks - [3481]
