This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 322 Grafton Avenue, Dayton, Ohio, this 9th day of September, 1924, in accordance with request made by his wife - Mrs. […].

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. [4581]”s wife.]

Time of Reading 11:10 A. M. …, Ohio.

  1. GC: Now you have before you the body of [4581] who was located at … Avenue, …, Ohio, this 9th day of September, 1924, at 8:30 A.M. [See 4581-1, Par. B1]. You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of the body.

  2. EC: Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions with this physical body. While the body is very good throughout, and in many respects the physical organs of the body function near normal, we find there are intervals and times when many of the various organs in their functioning are disturbed and cause distress to various portions of the body, differing in the respect as to those conditions and environments under which the body has labored in its physical attributes and actions.

  3. These conditions then, as we see, have to do with the nerve system and the effect as is reached through the physical forces, as acted upon by the sympathetic nerve system in the physical body, [4581] we are speaking of.

  4. Then we have the action of the sympathetic nerve system acting with the entity as a whole, and the physical conditions as produced in the body.

  5. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4581], 8:30, September 9, 1924. First:

  6. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find very good in most respects, though with physical conditions, especially in nerve centers, we find a subnormal pressure, with a high hepatic or internal circulation. Hence the action, physically, of cold and hot flushes that come to the body, especially when it attempts to rest the physical forces. An unequalized circulation forces the body into restlessness and to the condition that disturbs at times. Not always. A condition in circulation, and we will see from the source this comes.

  7. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find the seat or the cause of distresses in this body. There has been in times back a repression to the functioning of the pineal nerve and gland. This then caused the enlarging of this gland in the body, especially in the base of the brain. In the centers then along the system, where the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal connect, we find these are the property functioning of the sympathetic nerve system, the pineal gland and nerve being the seat of the forces as exercised in the sympathetic nerve system. Hence the organs that are under the repression of the nerve system in the sympathetic receive the reaction in their functioning. Hence we have at times a dull headache of seemingly no cause. Again it seems to be from eyes, or from repression in throat and bronchials. Again the effect is in the heart’s action, affecting the breathing in lower portion of the lungs. Again we have the reaction to pneumogastric center and nothing seems to suit the appetite. Again the repression in the functioning and after eating the digestion seems to cause the distress. Again the repression in kidneys and an overtaxing, or a suppression, and the distresses come through these portions of body. This we find then a purely sympathetic condition through the action of the sympathetic nerve system, with a condition existing in the pineal gland causing the distress.

  8. No organic conditions in body. Purely a sympathetic or reaction in functioning organs. This produces the state also in the mind, where we find the self-condemnation often, and again the impressions that the body, physically, mentally, is superior to others. Not a condition of the mental forces, save as acted upon by a condition in the physical that acts to the repression, the suppression, or giving too much of a reaction in that it makes the whole mental and physical superior to the exterior or outside forces.

  9. IN THE PHYSICAL BODY OR THE ORGANIC CONDITIONS, in these we find all under the influence or subjugation of those conditions as exhibited in the body from the conditions in nerve system and the reaction of same in the whole body. All being near normal, save as the reaction shows suppression, or over-activity, according to the condition as exercised in the sympathetic with the cerebro-spinal, produced by a condition in the base of the brain that is in the pineal brain and extending through the whole system.

  10. Then, to bring the better condition to this body, and to remove that causing these distresses, would be by directing the mental forces, principally, to one direct study of that that would create in the physical, and the mental, the ability of producing in the physical, the mental and moral, man, the activity of the I AM inert [innate?] in every individual. Also (see, that is by particular study, as would be found in any force that raises the relation between the creative elements and the individual self) taking small quantities (which may be given without knowledge, or with the knowledge, of the individual, it having pathological effect on the gland system) Chloride of Gold 10 grains, added to 15 ounces of distilled water, with 20 grains of Bicarbonate of Soda.

  11. The dose would be 3 to 5 drops in water twice each day, preferably before meals and before retiring, that we may have the effect in system in the hours of rest.

  12. Then let the body study these elements that show its individual self approved unto the Maker. Do that.

  13. The action in the physical in these conditions are as these:

  14. In the mechanical or medicinal forces in system is to create in the nerve plasm, as gives incentives from center of the nerve forces, that creative that overcomes the suppression as was manifested in system in times back.

  15. With the retraction, the development of self through the spiritual forces of self and study is necessary to keep the mental, the physical, attributes coordinating and in a balance within the system.

  16. Do that for this body, [4581].

  17. Do this, as we have given, and we will find we will bring the normal conditions for this body.
