TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [264]; this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, the general conditions have been and are progressing very satisfactorily.
3. There should be kept much of the same ministrations that have been outlined for the body, with the attitude towards the physical body being able to cope with, gain, sustain and maintain the resuscitating forces FROM the activities of the mental and spiritual to make for recuperations in every direction for the physical betterment of the body.
4. That there has been the elimination in the greater part of those conditions that have disturbed the body, there needs be - as indicated - that there be kept for the time those centers or places open where there arises the disturbance which causes the abnormalcy for the body. With the following of those outlines that have been given, as we find, these will be accomplished - and these we would keep up:
5. The ministrations of the battery appliance; the ash and the electrical vibrations that aid in the concentration of same in the system, with the percussions and the activities through the magnetic forces over those portions that have been indicated as needing the current to pass through for the dissemination and eliminating of those hindering conditions.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Is time right to use Braun's Colteurynter air bag?
   (A) WE find it would be better to use the dilater and the percussion, with the magnetic influence.
8. (Q) It was stated in previous reading not to lose this opportunity to aid this growth to pass entirely at that period. What caused it to fail to pass?
   (A) It hasn't failed, if they'll keep on!
9. (Q) What treatment for cough and congestion in throat?
   (A) The proper manipulations in the upper dorsal and cervical area, that relieves the pressure; and the care of the system as related to the atmospheric conditions. The ministrations, to be sure, in the diet for the increasing of the resistance is necessary to rebuild and gain strength for the body. These have been outlined. Follow those.
10. (Q) Any other advice at this time?
    (A) Do as we have given. That's the best advice! and keep those things ever before self that make for constructive influences in the mental and physical self.
11. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 2/04/33 GD's letter to Mrs. [264]: "Over the phone last night Mr. [853] sounded so forlorn and hopeless, that I was quite a bit worried. Then I decided that probably you are just upset over finances again. I don't mean to be belittling that situation, but just the same - you know - there are much worse conditions.
   "Mr. Cayce says we will get the check-physical Monday afternoon, between three and four o'clock.
   "Please keep up your spirits. That's what will make you well more than anything else.
   "I'm thinking what you really need right now is to get your Life Reading. It will give you a new lease on life; at least explain the whys and wherefores of all these troubles you've been having. You know, I actually believe there is a cause back in our mental being somewhere for every condition that comes upon us - whether good or bad; and as for myself - if I know the WHY of a thing it is much easier to stand it or work it out in some way.
   "The enclosed Life Reading article (which Hugh Lynn has compiled from the information we have on hand regarding the subject) will probably be interesting to you, and make you more anxious than ever for your reading. Why don't you write Mr. Cayce and arrange to come down some day before very long and get it?
   "Here's hoping you are both feeling much better in every way, and that the reading will also aid in your being able to 'lift-up and look up.'
   "Love and best wishes from all to you both."
   Ever the same, Gladys
   "P.S. We were sorry not to be able to get the reading today, but some people came down from Long Island for both appointments. Then the Group reading is tomorrow, but - should it ever be necessary (though I hope not) - they would gladly given up their time for you.
   "Remember that we are praying for you and with you each day."
   Love, GD
2. 2/07/33 She obtained Ck. Physical 264-30.
3. 3/18/33 She obtained Life Rdg. 264-31.
