This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 105th St., [GD's note: Yrs. later 105th St. was changed to 67th St.] & Ocean, Virginia Beach, Va., this 10th day of December, 1931, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. Edgar Cayce.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, Edgar Cayce, present in this room, and the physical conditions as exist.
2. In those of the digestive and eliminating system, we find disorders produced by those congestions, or that as may be termed a gall bladder or duct obstruction. This, unless changes are made, might become a very serious condition. [Cholecystitis?]
3. There should be, as we find, rather that of a very light diet, with those corrections in the cerebro-spinal center that will increase the flow of impulse to the glands of assimilation, to the liver ducts themselves, so that the excretory functioning of same may have the impulse for the functioning and cleansing of same; and after there is some relaxation there, the emptying of same, with care being taken that same is not ruptured or bruised, or injured in doing so, else there will become - or cause - inflammation that would be of serious natures. These we would do.
4. The diet would be rather those of the citrous fruits, with those of a tendency for laxative reaction in system.
5. (Q) Should this be emptied osteopathically?
   (A) As has been indicated, would be the manner; STIMULATING by manipulations osteopathically first those centers as lead to the ducts of the system, especially to the liver. Then AFTER there has been a secretion sufficient to react with same, THEN it may be emptied, or be DISTENDED so that it would empty itself.
   Be mindful, or careful, that it is not BRUISED in same - else we would have infections from same.
6. (Q) Would Dr. [M. L.] Richardson or Dr. [B. J.] McCrary of Norfolk be the best to do this?
   (A) Either one.
7. (Q) Would an entire citrous fruit diet be well for a few days, or should other things be taken?
   (A) As near the citrous fruit diet, with laxatives in others; that is, those food values that are laxative in their reaction - see? no astringents.
8. (Q) How often should osteopathic manipulations be given?
   (A) Once or twice a week, until there is relaxation.
9. (Q) Dream had by Edgar Cayce Sunday morning, Dec. 6, 1931: I was a little boy again. Saw the fairies or elves I used to play with, and among them I recognized [[341], [849], [419] and [295]]. I seemed to reason with myself that they were just as real when I was a little boy, and they were still in the spirit world, as they are now in physical life.
   (A) This, as we find, rather the warning to the body of those impending conditions in the physical forces of same, that might be turned into those conditions wherein the body would again assume rather the spiritual surroundings, or enter the spirit world rather than in the material forces of the body; and unless there is sufficient of those creations in the minds of those in material as seen, to hold those that are in the position of being changed, those in the spirit would make such holds or demands as to make the separation from the body - see? Hence the necessities that there be, either those that seen MAKE such activities, or such thoughts, as to HOLD for MATERIAL activity - else the SPIRITUAL activity would begin again.
   We are through for the present.
   We are calling here - there are things to be done!
10. (Q) What should be done, and by whom?
    (A) Conditions to be met! There is much need in the spirit world for the activities of the body. There are many that need these activities. There are those calling, desiring, wanting this entity's labors here. Many are calling and desirous of its entering - SOON.
11. (Q) Are there not many more in the material world that need the activities, though, of this body?
    (A) Then there should be such as would outweigh those calling.
12. (Q) How may this best be done?
    (A) By their fruits ye shall know them!
    [GD's note: See 262-2, Par. 16-A and [281] series as a result of above dream.]

REPORTS

1. 12/11/31 See GD's letter under 849-9, Par. R4 in re 294-128 rdg., and [849]'s answer to it.
2. 12/11/31 GD's ltr. to Mr. [257]:
   I just tried to get you over the phone, but was told you were in Chicago and wouldn't be in New York until tomorrow morning. It is going to be very hard to write what I want to, and probably would be just as hard to say over the phone.
   Gertrude has just taken Judge into Norfolk for a treatment. He is not feeling well at all. Yesterday [See 294-128, Par. 9-A--12-A] we had this information to come at the end of a reading: (It was a check-physical for Judge.)
   Well, there's no use in our getting scared to death - because it won't help any - but we must get to work and DO something! Since Judge has been back from New York he has been in sort of a listless condition, indifferent attitude - sort of. I can see from this information that if we want to hold him here we've got to do something to make him DESIRE to stay on in the earth. Just to sit here in front of the hospital, a failure, was bad enough for him - but to have that happen in New York was the last straw. If he had been appreciated in a material way, if we had protected him in a material way, as he is appreciated and protected in a spiritual way, it would never have happened. This has come as a test to us, and it is the strongest test we could possibly have. I'm just writing you the plain facts, and I KNOW that unless you and a few others there in New York get together an get some actual material results that he can see - it's going to be just too bad for all of us! While the hospital was going he had a material manifestation of his spiritual work, that he could see being exemplified in every day. Now he has nothing. Only letters and letters from people, asking - always asking - for something for themselves. We've got to stop asking and looking to him for encouragement for a while, and give him some instead. He needs more than anything else right now something to hold his interest, something to look forward to. He has nothing! The only thing I can think of, under the circumstances, would be to get him interested in building a home of his own, and to realize that his friends are back of him and seeing that he is being taken care of in a MATERIAL way. It's alright to say he doesn't need money, and doesn't want money, and all that - but he's got to have it, because it's a material demonstration of what the work means in the hearts and souls of people, and unless he has some such material demonstration he will be called to the spiritual side. We haven't realized just what we have asked of this man. He has given up his life as a material manifestation of God in this world, and what expression of appreciation do we give him - only a constant seeking from him for something more, something more - and usually that some advice on material affairs that won't mean a blooming thing to any of us if he is taken away from us.
   Now [257], I hope you see and understand this situation - it is certainly serious. I'm sitting right here in the house day and night, and I can see him gradually dying from the lack of interest in anything. It's true his only desire is to help people, but if such peoples do not respond in a material way to help him, the natural thing would be for him to be drawn to the spiritual side where he IS appreciated in a spiritual way. See what I mean?
   We can't delay - something must be done at once. With three thousand dollars to buy a lot he has wanted ever since he's been here, he could start building a home and be able to pay for it like rent. It would give him a new lease on life, something to look forward to - a sort of memorial to him from the people he has helped. I had this idea a few months ago, you remember. Well, the time has come when it's got to be put in motion - or else! People build memorials to people after they are dead, and I can easily see why some of them die so early - it's because they haven't the memorial while they are living. We must build such a memorial for Judge, so he can SEE in MATERIAL FORM that he IS appreciated in this world and needed here!
   I haven't the money. You probably haven't it either - but we can get it - and we must! Won't you get together with Mr. [378] (I am writing him also) and see what you can do. Also Mr. [417]. Don't start off on some new proposition that may or may not bring something, but get something NOW - in actual cash. This is a crude way to put it, but I'm hoping you will understand how very necessary it is. It's not just the money that I think will create a new interest in him, but the fact that his real friends - the ones he has given himself the most to - are cooperating to show him that they DO appreciate him! Do you see?
   I guess there isn't anything else I can say. You should be able to see the situation at a glance, I think - and the seriousness of it. We've got to bring such a force to bear in this old material world that we can keep our beloved Judge here with us many, many years, to enjoy the material fruits of his years of labor for us.
   Please hurry! Gladys
   P.S. Don't let him know that I have written or that any such action has been forced - but just write him telling him that his friends are doing this as a material demonstration, in part, of what he has done for them. And do it as SOON as possible! P. S. [900] said that Judge couldn't get anywhere without his help, and it does look that way - from a material viewpoint, at least. What [900] did represented to him a material manifestation of the spiritual development of the work. No one else seems to be able to rise to the occasion and give him another memorial, or material manifestation of his work. Someone MUST, though! We can't let him go!
