Edgar Cayce Readings, 44-1

Time: 3:00 P. M.

TEXT

FEM: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are going to sleep. (After a wait of about a minute.) Now, Mr. Cayce, you are asleep, and all the organs of your body will function properly. You will please hear me and answer all of my questions. You have before you the body of [44], ..., Birmingham, Alabama.
Now, Mr. Cayce, tell me the physical and mental ailments that you find in this body that you have before you, and if an operation is necessary please tell me, and if not, please tell me what will relieve the conditions within this body which you have before you; whether it is rheumatic or otherwise. [44], ..., Birmingham, Alabama.
EC: Yes, we have the body here. The abnormal conditions in this body, of which there are many, have to do with the nerve forces and centers within the body itself, acting through the physical forces of the body. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in the body. The circulation of the blood force is impoverished in the condition that exists throughout the body. The lack of the force to gather, or to hold the re-building force within this system give way to the nerve force in attempting to create an equilibrium for the voluntary nerve centers. Through the nervous system we find all of the nerve centers acting in conjunction with or controlled by the corresponding muscular forces. These are broken, as it were, or do not act under the influence of the forces themselves that control these conditions. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
The action of all voluntary nerve forces and center act on the incentive as given by the action of the white forces as carried in the nerve tissue itself; this being brought in the system from the action of forces that have acted over the system and has been of a gradual growth or development, where it has taken out of the nerve nourishing forces that which acts with the brain centers and forces itself under all the centers of nerve energy because of an involuntary action rather than a voluntary force of action within the body. See? FEM: Yes, sir.
The functioning of the organs with this condition only act as far as the system is able to carry these with the conditions existing in the body itself. The body may not be rid of this condition entirely. It may be assisted to gain control of the condition within the body, but not to an extent to overcome that which has been wrought within the system, or within the physical forces itself at present. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
The action of the mental or soul forces over the body direct the conditions as exist between the spiritual and the soul and physical portion of the body. Most of the body is kept intact by the action of soul forces at present, than by the action of material or physical influences over the body; yet physical forces may be applied to this body to give some rest or reaction to the condition and for the condition existing in this body here. [44] we are speaking of. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
These we would apply to this body to give rest; to give an easing of the condition existing in the nerve centers; to the nervous system to prevent the further inroads, or to assist the brain forces within the nerve tissue itself to act in more accord with the muscular condition, for the muscles have become so acted upon by the nerve forces and conditions as to become inactive within themselves. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
This will only give a reaction to muscular and nerve forces and assist in allaying the conditions in the body. Apply low electric force to the solar plexus center at the 9th dorsal, prepared in this manner and form; to 2 gallons of rain water we would add 1 pound of common charcoal; 1 pound of copper sulphate; 1 ounce of sulphate acid, C. P.; 1 ounce of zinc. These would be charged with a low voltage battery of 120 volts, to 2-1/2 amperes, 30 cycles, for 30 minutes. While this is being charged and to remain to be carried into the system by the charge as being given it and applied to the body, 6 ounces of iodine should be in this solution in a glass container sealed. See?
(Q) With a glass cork?
(A) While this is being charged, with a glass cork, or else the acids would eat it out, you see.
FEM: Yes, sir. After it has been charged the poles should be made of different material; one of copper and the other of silver. They would be attached to one plate; that plate attached to the body of [44] at the 9th dorsal for 20 minutes each evening. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
This will create a different vibration within this system and assist to allay the condition within this body at present. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
The sickness or the nausea that presents itself after this has been applied to the body for some three days need not be feared. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
Only rest one day, and then begin again, for it is only the reaction of the pneumogastric center with that behind or opposite the solar plexus centers. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
Or behind the stomach and opposite the solar plexus centers. Do this and it will give an entire relief to this body here of [44].
(Q) Mr. Cayce, the plate that you place on the 9th dorsal, how is that to be connected to this force in this solution?
(A) The plate to be placed on the 9th dorsal, how is that to be connected to this force in this solution? By the wires that are attached to it. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
And placed on the body, or connected with the body here.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, do you believe that this body can be cured entirely of all of its ailments?
(A) "Mr. Cayce, do you believe that this body can be cured entirely of all of its ailments". We have given the conditions. The body will not be relieved entirely of the conditions existing within it. This will assist the body to gain more of its equilibrium than it has at present. See?
(Q) Yes, sir. Mr. Cayce, is this body able to walk at this time?
(A) "Mr. Cayce, is this body able to walk at this time". Only the gaining of its equilibrium, you see, will enable it to be able to walk in the normal manner of walking, as it has not at the present time. See? FEM: Yes, sir.
This will assist in this condition that we have given. Follow this if you would render any assistance to these conditions in this body, you being well in touch with the forces that have to do with the action of soul forces with the physical body. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
Do that.
(Q) At this time then there is no medicine that you would recommend to assist this body?
(A) "At this time there is no medicine that you would recommend to assist this body?" We have given the conditions. Follow those. If necessary, we would have given those.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, is this body more comfortable in moving about, by running and walking?
(A) "Mr. Cayce, is this body more comfortable in moving about, by running and walking". We have given the conditions. We are through.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, just please answer one more question. Do you believe that this condition will last long in this body? (Aside to Mrs. [[45]'s mother?]: I do not believe he will answer, as he said he was through).
(A) [No answer from Mr. Cayce.]
Now, Mr. Cayce, you will forget all about this reading that you have given. You are feeling all right, and all of the organs of your body will function properly; you are feeling fine. Now, you will wake up in two minutes just feeling fine and all right.
