GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body that I will ask you.
EC: Yes, we have the body. This we have had before. There are some improvements as we see in the general physical condition of the body, and there is not being exerted that in the mental forces of the body towards its own condition as has been outlined for same, yet there is seen that, with the massage, manipulation, and the keeping up of those properties as has been outlined, the body is on the improve, see? Ready for questions.
(Q) Why does the gold and violet ray cause weakness and dizziness?
(A) These do not of themselves cause weakness and dizziness. Does the body desire [If the body desires] that the condition be improved, these must be applied in the way and manner given; that is, have gold in the system and the assimilation taking place when the violet ray vibrations are applied to the body, for this becomes necessary in that same way and manner as a purgative causes dizziness and sickness of stomach when there is congestion in liver. In the nerve centers as are acted upon by the active principle of gold in the system, functioning with the glands that give rejuvenation to all of the system, these being in that state of abnormal, or below normal, in their activity, the vibration set up by the action of electrical forces produces dizziness. This stood for a little, will bring conditions to the body, will the body [if the body will] apply same, see?
(Q) How long treating neuropathically will it take to relieve the condition of the back - the vertebra that is hardening?
(A) With the application of the gold and the vibratory forces in the violet ray, the neuropathic forces should show the effective forces in same in thirty to sixty (30 to 60) days, see? would the body [if the body would] apply self toward the recuperative or the POSITIVE, rather than negative, attitude of self's being improved or corrected, see?
(Q) What causes the weak spot on the left side, close by the stomach?
(A) The nerve plexus from the vertebra causing contraction, produces the weakness at times. This, as is seen, comes and goes, see?
(Q) What is the matter with the bladder?
(A) No matter, save as that condition produced by the non-eliminating, not being in perfect accord with the vibration of the hepatic circulation as a whole, see? With the correction of these conditions this irritation that occurs occasionally will be improved, see?
(Q) What can I do to comfort the heart while the treatment is in progress, and to arouse the life forces that seem to be dormant?
(A) Apply self toward that of the constructive rather than of negative forces. Think - THINK - and be as the body thinks! And do not apply self in "I will do it, but I know I'm not going to get better." These are mental conditions!
(Q) Have I left anything undone that I should do with the prescribed course of healing?
(A) Ask the self - for we find there are many variations that have been given from time to time. Apply same in that direct way and manner as has been outlined for the body. Do that, would the body [if the body would] receive those benefits as are derived from applying self physically, mentally, and in fact, to the setting up of the correct vibratory forces within the body for a UNISON of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual forces of the body, [464].
(Q) Do you see any permanent improvement so far in the course? If so, how and why?
(A) As given.
(Q) Shall we try the gold and violet ray again?
(A) Not only try it - DO IT! if the body would be well! If the body finds that the amount as given is too much, decrease the amount, see, until the system reaches that stage equal to the vibrations as is necessary to be set in body through such forces, see? even though only one drop taken! Then the body find that it is the mental attitude as well, for if the body would not BE well, it would NOT BE well!
(Q) Is it advisable to take the gold and violet ray and neuropathic massage at the same time? Which is the best for me?
(A) All of these - for, to be sure, the violet ray and the gold work towards the correction of the condition as from internally, and the massage is as correcting those that are in adjustment by the vibration as set up, see? for one will not be taken as the other is taken, but following same, see?
(Q) What is "tied up" or where the "tie up"?
(A) In the nerves as give the vibration to the glands in the reproductive and in the vibratory rate set through the pineal gland, and the branches of same in each major ganglion along the spine, as well as those that show contraction. Correct these conditions in that way and manner as is outlined. Do that.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

REPORTS

5/18/27 Daughter, Miss [2144], requested a Life Rdg., saying, "Mrs. [464] is improving."
5/31/27 "I am following the tr. as prescribed as near as I know how. Gold at 7 a.m., violet ray at 8 a.m. Have done so for 30 days so far. Sometimes I feel better than others. Today I am all in. No good at all. I was in hopes I would have better news for you, so did not write. I have been faithful to the tr. and intend to keep right on in the face of all opposition."
6/08/27 "I had a setback all last wk. but I am picking up again now, and I hope I will continue to do so. I want to go to Canada at the end of this mo. for a few days. I will have to take charge of everything there, so I want to feel much better, and I expect to meet a lot of people, old friends, acquaintances, and relations, so I will need all the nerve force I can bring about... In the meantime I shall keep right on with the tr. I have been under the Gold and Violet Ray just 36 days so far."
8/08/27 "I am taking the tr. faithfully but I feel so rotten all the time that I am almost discouraged with dizziness and lightheadedness. The joy is taken out of life. I don't gain strength as I should. I have a good appetite, I eat mostly vegetables and whole wheat bread. The least little thing knocks me off my feet. I have followed directions as near as I know how. I have taken 55 tr. gold and violet ray, so you see I am not neglecting the tr. Everyone says to me 'You have to get out - get out!' Well, I tried getting out, forcing myself to do things, and I found that it did not work with me. I came home in a state of collapse more than once. So I made up my mind to act according to the way I felt... Well, I may need looking over again."
9/02/27 "I have been under tr. for 4 months now and I am far from well."
9/29/27 "My husband is not specially interested in my welfare. He thinks I can get along without things. He feels fine, so it doesn't bother him how I feel. There are some things about my tr. that I don't understand, about the diet and the eliminations. Another rdg. might clear it up."
10/11/27 "I am waiting for Dr. Roubechek to open his new dept. for women in Cleveland. He gives a sweat bath, massage and electricity. I went to him about 4 yrs. ago for 2 wks. and he helped me a lot then, and as his trs. are in accordance with your rdgs. I feel safe in taking them again. The massage he gives me is fine.
"The next thing I want is a special diet, for I am sure my diet is all wrong. I am so hungry all the time that I eat more than I should, for my digestive organs are decidedly weak and do not begin to take care of the food, no matter what kind it is. So I always have a craving to eat something. I get really hungry. I have always had weak digestive organs. I can't remember a time in my life when my stomach behaved itself normally. Only before my children were born. I had a psychic rdg. by Mrs. Matteson of Buffalo and she said that the gastric juice and the bile would not assimilate in my stomach. This was 20 yrs. or more ago. In your rdgs. you say the assimilation and the eliminations are wrong, and so they are. I eat all kinds of vegetables, brown bread, no meat at all. I wonder if tea would have anything to do with it. I love my tea as a drunkard loves his booze. It would be a real hardship and a dangerous one to give it up all at once, and I really don't want to unless I have to. I am going to Dr. Roubechek for 2 wks. or more, then I will write for a rdg. and in the meantime if you should come our way, so much the better. We will be glad to meet you and if you stay over, all the better.
"The action of the gold on my stomach was very pronounced at first, and seemed to gather up the broken parts and make them solid. The action of the gold seems to change."
10/24/27 "I will send the gold to you for inspection, but I think it is alright. Give me another rdg. just as soon as it is convenient for you to do so. I have improved under the treatment some, but not as I should, and I want to find out what it is that is holding it back. I do feel stronger, I can stand better and walk better, but my head still bothers me. My heart has been acting up. I have had a very bad cold, with chills. I would love to feel normal once more.
"Mr. Cayce, do you do any work outside of diagnosing, like answering questions as to a change of property - would it be advisable to sell. We want to sell our place and get one where we can have a garden. If so, I may have you give me a rdg. along those lines later on. A garden would be no good to me now, the way I am fixed. My husband and I are very much interested in flowers.
"I hope you will make the trip west you are planning on. I would appreciate a visit from you very much. Questions:
"Will I keep on with the gold? Is the violet ray strong enough? How should the gold act? The rdg. says the gold does not eliminate as it should. What is wrong? By eliminations what is meant? by urine? the bowels, either laxative or cathartic, or as an astringent? By sweat? Is it the starchy foods that cause fermentation in the bowels? or fats, as butter and lard? Should I live on greens alone, without bread or potatoes? No sugars or starch? "Had I better talk with a psychologist? I know of one who is very good at straightening out kinks in the mind, and if he's not too expensive I will make inquiries."
