This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 18th day of February, 1944, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [3682], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by the article in Coronet.

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

Time of Reading 3:40 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern War Time. …, 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 have the body here, [3682].

3. As we find, in analyzing the physical disturbances, there is much to be considered. For here we have not only that which is a disturbance in the physical but a karmic reaction from the mental and spiritual activities finding reflex action in the physical forces of this body.

4. This may be accepted or rejected by the body, yet without such a consideration and without the application of such in the experience of the body, not a great deal may be added to meet the present physical disturbances. On the other hand, with this consideration, and if there is the change of the mental attitude, the spiritual concepts, and the application of that which may be of a universal nature or consciousness, we may bring help.

5. The conditions in the present are a result of the lack of balance in the mental, spiritual and physical force of the body. They find expression through the glandular system and the physical effect is a lack of chemical products in the body-force to replenish the nerve energies. Thus the lack of the ability of the nerves in locomotion, in the hands and in the limbs for the control or the use of same.

6. Begin, then, and do the first things first. This would be in gaining some concept of spirituality, the mental use and the physical application of same. This doesn’t mean merely by mind, but by spirit, mind and body.

7. Then begin with the use of the cellular building force in the system through the Wet Cell Appliance carrying only one element, gold, vibratorially, into the body - at first.

8. The Gold Solution would be made in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold Sodium to each ounce of distilled water and use three ounces of the solution for each charge of the Appliance. Change the Gold Solution every fifteen days.

9. Recharge the Appliance every thirty days.

10. The small plate would be attached at the 9th dorsal center in the beginning, and the larger plate - through which the Gold Solution passes vibratorially to the body - would be attached to the lacteal duct and umbilical plexus, which on this body would be the width of four fingers to the right of the navel center and two fingers up from that point. Make the attachment each day for thirty minutes.

11. Following the use of the Appliance each day, give the body a massage over the lumbar-sacral area and the limbs; commencing with the toes, and gradually massaging upward, and then in long strokes downward, after this has been completed on each limb, to the body and over the sacral areas of the body, and lower abdomen. Take the time to give this massage. Don’t hurry through with it. Use an equal combination of Olive Oil (heated) and Tincture of Myrrh for the massage.

12. Do this each day for sixty days. Then we would give further instructions for this body.

13. Do begin with the first things first. Don’t say in self, “Well, I believe this and I’ll give it a try.” Begin first by reading Exodus 19:5, Deuteronomy 30, then the 23rd Psalm. Then begin with the 14th, 15th, 16th chapters of St. John. Learn each of these passages so that they may be repeated.

14. Then begin to apply them with the people you meet, or the people who meet you; not merely as sayings. But you want to be a little bit happier, a little bit more optimistic, if you would have the Lord on your side.

15. Then, when you have done this, you may begin with the mechanical part of the applications.

16. Do these and we will find changes for the better.

17. Ready for questions.

18. (Q) Any particular diet? (A) A well balanced diet; not using supplementary vitamins but foods that have been supplemented with B and B complex vitamins, also A and D, or whole grain cereals. Have plenty, PLENTY of orange juice. But don’t take cereals and orange juice at the same meal, alternate these from one day to the next. Have plenty of tomatoes and tomato juice, plenty of carrots, water cress, radishes, onions, celery, lettuce - and fix them in all sorts of ways. Fish and fowl, but only saltwater fish - not fresh water fish for this body.

These do.

19. (Q) Any particular climate? (A) Wherever the body finds it most pleasant for its environs. It isn’t the climate, it is the attitude ye need first.

20. We are through with this reading.

Copy to Self ” ” Ass’n file ” ” Loose-leaf book in Library for indexing under case number, for study of progressive muscular atrophy

(See sheet of directions [which was enclosed] to be sent to Mr. A. M. Godfrey, 2709 Lafayette Blvd., Norfolk, Va., for preparing the Wet Cell Appliance to be used in this particular case. Also article explaining theory of this appliance.

It might be of interest to you to try to get in touch sometime with Mrs. Albin C. Bro - Margueritte H. Bro, who wrote the Coronet article. Her address is Frances Shimer College, Mount Carroll, Illinois. She would also be interested in your reading.)

B1. 11/26/43 [3682]‘s letter:

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

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I have written to you twice in the last two months. In the last reply you sent me I received the book “Edgar Cayce, His Life and Work”. After reading it carefully, I have decided to become a member of the Association of Research and Enlightenment. Enclosed you will find my check for $20.00 for an Association Membership. As I have previously stated, I have lost complete use of both arms due to a progressive muscular atrophy. This condition first became apparent in 1935. Though temporarily checked, it seems to be getting worse. That is why I requested the reading as soon as possible.

I am very much impressed by your wonderful work and I am more than willing to co-operate in every way possible. Incidentally, I have seen many neurologists including those at the Mayo Clinic. None really seem to know what is the cause of my affliction or how it can be cured. However, I am positive that somewhere there is someone who can help me.

With kindest, best wishes and hoping to have the pleasure of hearing from you in the not too distant future, I am most,

Cordially yours, [3682]

B2. 12/6/43 [3682]‘s letter:

Chicago, Illinois

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

Dear Sir:

I have at hand your communication of Dec. 2nd.

You are right it is the physical reading which I desire.

You also asked me where I would be at that time and to make a list of questions to be asked at the time of the reading. I shall be at …, Illinois at that time. The questions I should like to have asked at the reading are as follows:

Is there any hope that my condition might improve to such an extent that I might again be able to lead a normal life? Who is the person or persons, medical men or otherwise for me to see in order to improve or cure this condition? Where are these persons located and how can I contact them? What is the best course for me to pursue following the reading? Is there any specific medicine, diet, rest cure, or climate advisable?

Thanking you for your interest and moving my reading up and assuring you the utmost cooperation I am,

Most sincerely yours, [3682]

B3. 12/9/43 [3682]‘s letter:

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

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I wrote you on December 7th to confirm the fact that it is the physical reading which I desire. My reading is to come up on Feb. 18th. In the last letter you sent you stated that I should list the questions I wished asked during the reading. I listed all but the one I believe is the most important. I wonder if by any chance you could add the following to the list of questions in my letter of the 7th: “What is the cause of my condition?”

Thanking you for your kind co-operation and consideration, I am,

Sincerely yours, [3682]
