This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 16th day of December, 1943, in accordance with request made by the sister - Mrs. […], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mrs. A. J. Brumbaugh.

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

At the Still-Hildreth, Time of Reading Osteopathic Sanatorium, 10:50 to 11:00 A.M. Eastern War Time. Macon, Missouri. …, Illinois.

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 find the body here, [3510].

3. While there is much yet to be desired, the desired results or the best results may not be obtained unless there can be created a greater desire on the part of the body itself for the corrections of the conditions; the anger, the hate, the conditions to gratify appetites that so break down that administration which has been or may be made.

4. We would not change from those administrations being made.

5. We would - through the closer associates of the body - attempt to make better cooperation between the body and those making administrations. Not by making promises of this or that but rather appealing to the body through the better self, the innate, the spiritual, the soul self.

6. And if there is also such cooperation with those making administrations in these directions when these are begun, we may find better results for this body.

7. Ready for questions.

8. (Q) Does his condition indicate a gradual deterioration of mental faculties? (A) As just indicated, only when there is kept in self that of hate, the desire for gratification of bodily desires, and the fighting against the administrations being made. For anger can destroy the brain as well as any disease. For it is itself a disease of the mind.

9. (Q) Is his mental condition curable? (A) It’s curable, provided there are those cooperations - and the desire created on the part of the entity to cooperate with that which may be administered.

Here we find that the use of the Wet Cell Appliance would be beneficial to this body, carrying Gold vibratorially; for it will take away those desires for drink also. Use this in the way that has been indicated for such, the larger plate - through which the Gold Solution passes vibratorially (in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold Sodium to each ounce of distilled water, and use at least three ounces) - would be attached at the umbilical and lacteal duct area. The small copper plate would be attached at the 9th dorsal. Make the applications for thirty minutes each day.

10. (Q) Would another “bout” with alcohol be extremely dangerous to his body? (A) Mentally and physically!

11. (Q) Would it be advisable for family and doctors to consider releasing him for the purpose of trying to get a job? (A) Not in the present conditions, no.

There must be obtained the cooperation, not merely the outward expressions of it, but sincere. It must be approached more from the spiritual angle.

12. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 12/27/43 [3510]‘s sister’s letter: ”…Thank you for the reading of December 16, for my brother, [3510]… I am sending the extra copy and the instructions on the Wet Cell Battery, on to the Still-Hildreth Sanatorium. I do not know whether they are familiar with your work or not, so I have tried to explain it somewhat to them, hoping they will co-operate in every way.

“I feel that your reading is correct in that it points out the necessity for a sincere desire on the part of the patient to receive help and to co-operate in the efforts of others to help him. In the past it has been very difficult, if not impossible, to stimulate that desire in him.

“We shall keep on trying, however. He has had many, many prayers offered for him. And we have tried to ‘reach’ him through inspirational literature, ‘Unity’ and various approaches. So far, to no avail.

“He will recover from a bad set-back due to a drinking ‘spree’ and then feel ‘cocky’ again and confident that he can drink like a gentleman and that HE has no alcohol problem, etc., etc. So long as he does not admit that a problem exists, we feel up against a stone wall.

“He has been in touch with ‘Alcoholics Anonymous’ - you may know the organization - also to no avail.

“I shall let you know of future developments…”

R2. 1/13/44 EC’s letter to Mrs. […], [3510]‘s sister: ”…I have yours of the 27th regarding the reading for your brother, [3510]. I believe you will have cooperation from the people at Still-Hildreth. They know of the work, but it is very well for you to remind them that you wish them to follow the suggestions. In the information given, I believe you will get it. Let me hear from you from time to time, and if we can be of help, know we are glad to do so…”

R3. 8/8/46 GD’s note: [3510]‘s sister ordered publications from Edgar Cayce Publishing Co.
