This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 322 Grafton Avenue, Dayton, Ohio, this 1st day of October, 1924, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. [3981].

[Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. Henry Simz.]

Time of Reading 11:40 A. M. …, Ohio.

1. EC: In this body we find some abnormal conditions that may be corrected in a very easy manner, would the body first learn to control self and acknowledge in self the dependence of the individual in the Higher Forces, or the body must make itself correct with its God and not the God Money, but that higher forces, to whom, through whom, we all move and have our being.

2. In the mental the body excels in many ways.

3. In the physical the body often taxes itself through the mental and physical abilities to create that which can only be the cause of more distress in its own earthly sphere.

4. In the physical we find these conditions:

5. With the strain under which the body labors we find the nerve system, especially the sympathetic, becomes overtaxed and the body finds itself incapable of making coordination throughout the system. Under such conditions the body is easily irritated and allows itself to fly, or to be drawn, into those conditions where that the system, only under such conditions, give into the system the poisons that should be eliminated in the correct channels. With this poison in the blood forces all of the functioning organs suffer under such a strain. Not that the body is always in pain, not that the body finds its self under distresses, yet in its moments, when the body relaxes, the body realizes the deficiency in its system and its constant strain. Nothing seems to be, under such strains, exactly right, nothing seems to be that it is giving the correct forces or returns to the body’s endeavors.

6. First must the body find itself and make its relations correct with the Creator, and first must he learn that the beginning of wisdom is the understanding and knowledge of the Father.

7. In the physical forces to assist the body in gaining this, more time must be given to the study of the Holy Word, and more expression of self must be spent in manifesting those truths before men. Physically and materially, little may be done to assist the body physically, unless it wills itself to do such.

8. It will assist to have the manipulations of the body and the adjusting of all segments along the cerebrospinal system. This is only a means, however, to make the perfect coordination of nerve system with physical forces, with the soul and spirit of [3981].

9. Do those, if he would bring himself to that condition where he can best serve its Maker and its fellow man, ever remembering that service to fellow man is the own service to our Maker.

Cayce Institute of Psychic Research Dayton, Ohio

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I am writing to ask you if you could give me a reading Saturday 20th from 11:00 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. I’ll be in my store at Carroll, Ohio. I want to know everything that is wrong with me - what makes my stomach bad, why so nervous and etc., and treatment for same. Drs. say I have nervous indigestion but it seems as tho I get no relief from their treatments.

I’ll also have no pep and seem to be tired all the time.
