This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 322 Grafton Avenue, Dayton, Ohio, this 16th day of April, 1925, in accordance with request made by self - [4522], via David E. Kahn.

Time of Reading 2:00 P. M. Dayton Time. New York City.

1. GC: You will give a physical, mental and spiritual reading of this body, with suggestions for the improvement of any or all of these.

2. EC: Now for the physical conditions of the body, while we find these are very good in many respects, there are those conditions existent in the body of which the body should be warned. In the eliminations and assimilations of the system do we find the conditions that give rise to the distresses as are brought to the body at times.

3. Now, these are conditions in the physical as we find them, [4522], we are speaking of. First:

4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find carrying forms of toxins, produced by the lack of eliminations in their proper channels and by the absorption of toxins, especially in the digestive system, with the tendency towards a kind and form of intestinal indigestion. This produces then distresses through the pelvic organs and pelvic system at times, and again through the upper portion of the digestive system. These need more warning than of specific troubles that arise at the present time, the greater trouble coming at the present time from fermentations as produced by reflex conditions from these in the mesenteric system and through the action of the hypogastric and pneumogastric reflexes in the stomach proper. Hence the inability of the body to assimilate foods taken, on account of fermentation, for the lack of lacteals, or the proper amount or balance of the gastric juices in the stomach proper.

5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find this unbalancing through portions of the system gives at times a nervous disposition through the system, especially at and near the times of menstrual periods, for pressure produced in body in the pelvic system, and through the toxins as excite the nerve centers, bring about this condition. This is rather the warning of these conditions than existent conditions that give much trouble, save at such periods, at the present time.

6. IN THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces good. Hence mental activities of the body well, and these may be carried into those channels wherein the greater development may come to the body in the present earth’s plane. As the body finds through the mental at the present time, not associated with that kind or class of work that will give the best to the development of the body. Rather too much routine, without the expansion as is necessary for the development of this mentality. Rather should be associated with those conditions that have to do with gathering of data regarding prehistoric or any conditions that relate to those of the nature that are of the statistical regarding historic conditions, whether of that pertaining to data for present day or for the past. Any of these would give the greater expansion to the mental abilities of the body.

7. In the organs then in the physical, from the condition as we find existent in the body, we find there are often times those conditions in the sensory system that give distress reflexly. Nothing definite, nothing that the entity gains that is abnormal, yet often distressing. This coming then through a physical condition reacting through a mental condition misplaced. This brings then dissatisfaction at times to the body.

8. In the lung forces good, though there are times, when with the stress in circulation, that there are acute conditions through the secondary cardiac plexus. This comes through the action of the carotid artery in that of the secondary reaction through sensory nerve and cerebro-spinal. Not a condition physical, not a condition mental - a retraction rather through conditions both physical and mental.

9. Digestive system shows the repression of conditions though pneumogastric and hypogastric, while the general forces throughout the rest of the organism rather the strained than the distressed through functional conditions.

10. In the spiritual forces, we find the entity with its mental forces not solely directed towards pure spiritual nature. Rather the seeking of that of the mental to combine with spiritual things.

11. Then, to bring the better to the physical would be to watch the diet as to those things that give better assimilation throughout the body. Never taking in the body any properties when the body is worried or out of sorts, or in that of the distressed through mental reaction. Taking at least every second - third day half a teaspoonful plain Phosphate of Soda, to which is added six minims Syrup of Sarsaparilla, and once each week add to this one minim Canadian Balsam (one minim, see?) and take a regular morning and evening exercise for the body. Of morning, that which will give the equalized circulation to the upper portion of body. The circular bending motion of the upper portion of the body. In evenings, when ready to retire, those of the circular and bending motion to lower portions of body, to equalize circulation for rest and for activity. Not necessary these be made long or strenuous, but consistent and persistent.

12. Then, in the mental forces, better that the body so arrange that of its mental expressions of self to be connected with those conditions as have been outlined. The opportunity we see comes to this - 22nd of May.

13. As to the spiritual forces, these should be at all times directed in those channels giving the better spiritual understanding, the better mental relations of self, to those of that condition wherein self is made manifest in that way that gives the understanding of self.

14. We are through.

My dear Mr. Cayce:

Will you please pardon my delay in acknowledging receipt of your reading, and also returning to you the enclosed form.

My dear Mr. Cayce:

Your last reading given to me some time in April brought wonderful results, and I am feeling entirely well again.

I am anxious to have you give me a reading, as early as possible, regarding a problem that affects directly the happiness and future of another person and myself, and which at the same time involves two other people.

If you will specify the day and hour when you can give me this reading, I can immediately answer you. I am sending you now a small contribution towards your research fund, and hope to hear from you by return mail.

Thanking you, I am

Cordially yours, [4522]

My dear Mr. Cayce

Thank you for your prompt response to my request for a reading.

Here are the questions I would like answered, if possible - and any other answers or thoughts that you may be able to give me:

1. Does body honestly love person who fills her thoughts at present time.
2. Does this person love body to same extent?
3. Will this person ever be free from present ties to marry body? If so, how long will it take to obtain freedom?
4. Does this person really want to free himself from present ties - will he make effort to do so - and if so what steps will he have to take.
5. Are body and this person suited to each other in all respects conducive to real happiness?
6. If this person is free, will it cause unhappiness to his present ties?
7. Will it give this person peace of mind and less unhappiness to part from body now - and continue in his past relationships?
8. Will this person know peace of mind, happiness, and no misery through association with body.

I will be at the office of the …, New York City, at three o’clock Eastern Standard Time, on Wednesday, August 12th, 1925.

R5. 8/13/25 EC’s letter to [4522]:

Miss [4522] New York City

Dear Miss [4522]:

Yours of the 11th is received and I’m afraid what I have to say will be disappointing to you, for while I know this is one of the most important things in your life, and one wherein perhaps you need counsel and advice as much as you need for your physical health, still the questions you desire to know are not such that I feel that it is my privilege even to furnish you the information, even though I desire to so, for it concerns principally someone else and their most inward feelings and desires, and that one has made no request that such information be given to anyone. I am in hopes that you will view this in the manner in which I try to look at this and will know that I’m not trying to be actuated by anything save the very best for all concerned. I’m very much in hopes that these matters and conditions will adjust themselves and that you will find the peace and happiness in whatever place that is the right and best.

Assuring you of my desire to be of help whenever it is possible to do so, and with kindest personal regards, I am

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
