This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 11th day of August, 1926, in accordance with request made by his mother, Mrs. […] [wife of Mr. [4124]], via Mr. [257].

[Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Dr. T. B. House.]

Time of Reading Camp …, 4:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Conn.

1. GC: 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 this body.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.

3. Now, we find that the mental attitude, and the mental forces of this body, needs more attention than that of the purely physical conditions, for, with the correct mental attitude towards self, and the duties that the body, physical and mental, owes and is due others, the physical conditions would near correct themselves, and, without this awakening of the mental and physical responsibilities of this entity, those physical conditions as are brought about by the weakening of the mental forces, through the strain produced on the nerve system, there will be no need of the correction in the physical, for this would only bring other conditions that would prove as detrimental to the physical being as of the conditions as are produced.

4. To bring about such conditions, there needs be much change in the surroundings of this individual, in the manner of thinking, of reading, of association. While this is not to be contributed to those of the present in a detrimental way and manner, yet that responsibility has not been awakened in the individual through the manner in which the body has been approached at the present time. Better would be those of those surroundings that bring more of the spiritual nature in its strength, rather than in its ecclesiastical nature, for the strength of the individual is in that awakened in the mental towards those duties of the spiritual and physical nature, that may NOT be separated in the material world. Such may be found in that of the study of those tenets as are found in that called New Thought, or in Unity, for in either there may be awakened that as is necessary to bring to this body that as will give the best physical and spiritual well being, for the INNER man is sick rather than the physical.

5. Then go about to make those changes, and in those changes there will come the awakening of the divine that is within that must answer to the individual, and bring life, health and strength, as the morning follows the night.

6. We are through.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 8/15/26 Correspondence of mother indicated she didn’t understand the reading; wondered why his deafness wasn’t mentioned, since that was the reason for obtaining the reading. “Am I right in gathering from you that the boy is unhappy, or dissatisfied, or could it have been that he was in that condition at the time of the reading, due to my request that he remain in his tent on that day between those hours, for I have since learnt that he was annoyed at my request, as I had naturally given him no special reason. I had hoped that the reading would have divulged his poor hearing, and a definite cure for same.”

R2. 8/18/26 Edgar Cayce replied in his letter: “Just why the defect in the hearing was not mentioned in the reading, I cannot tell you, as I do not know, but, as I understand from same, the seat of the trouble was really deeper than the hearing - one that would possibly undermine the physical health and certainly would prove detrimental to any defect in any portion of the body… If you will try this for at least 30 to 60 days, then let us give another reading and check up on any change… I believe the information will prove as beneficial to your son as it has to thousands of others.”

R3. Questions submitted by mother and friend, Mr. [257], 10/13 and 10/14/26, for a check-physical and a life reading for the body; indicated he was in high school building and would be there between certain hours, did not need a definite appointment to be found there.

R4. 11/18/26 See 960-2, a Ck. Physical.

R5. 11/28/27 See 960-3, a Ck. Physical.

R6. 12/2/27 See 960-4, a Life Reading indicating the deafness is a physical karma from a French Revolution incarnation.
