This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 6th day of January, 1926, volunteered without the suggestion being given to obtain it, following a routine Check-Physical, 325-9. [GD's note: Immediately after 551-8 EC volunteered 4278-2, a Business reading, and then 4905-52, oil land reading on Bosque County, Texas.]

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

TEXT

1. EC: Now, we have the body, the mind, with the business associations, of [551], ... New York City, New York. The development of the spiritual elements of and for this entity are good, and the associations in the moral and physical manner with many very good - such as is seen with the contemplated associations with one of opposite sex. This, under some conditions, may be made an ideal arrangement; yet the duties to each must be considered in that way and manner that brings for the best to the mental reaction of each, and each must also consider the duties that [they] each owe to others dependent upon them for physical necessities of life.
2. The physical condition of the body, [551], shows some strain, especially in one side of the body. This is produced by those impingements that need the corrections, having been PULLED, as it were, by strain to the physical body, too much to the opposite side from that as shown in times back. As to the number necessary - two to three such adjustments, as has been given the system, [by Joseph Ferguson, D.O.?] should be sufficient to correct these.
3. The associations of the individual, physically now, with some of those farther down the Street, in the financial way are proving to be burdensome in some ways; yet these we find should - SHOULD - possibly not, but SHOULD prove to be very beneficial in many ways in the next few weeks. There are many different conditions that will arise that will bring much financial possibilities to the entity. Use same then in the way and manner as has been outlined for this entity, for those who first seek the Lord and FIND Him shall have all these things added unto them. "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin; yet Solomon in all his glory [was] not arrayed as one of these." Fulfilling that for which they were created. Man fulfilling that niche, that place, in which he finds himself, and filling it to that full ability, without thought of self as to WHO is gaining the most, to SELF there is gain, for [if a man would] would a man HAVE life, then GIVE life.
4. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 551-7 on 12/05/25.
2. 1/01/26 [551]'s letter:
   "...Please send me your Reading on the following three questions: 1. What is the development for me on the spiritual plane in 1926? Or, what guidance can you give me for the greater development of my spiritual life? 2. What material gain is there for me for the coming year - i.e., business success? Trading and speculating in Wall St. Stock Market? 3. I have the prospects of a marriage to a Miss [...] whose residence is ..., N.Y. We both planned for this marriage to take place shortly. Please guide me or enlighten me with sound advice as to its success and happiness for both concerned... P.S. As to my health condition now - for the past month I have had a severe pain in the joint of my left-side jaw running parallel to the left ear. Also the pain shoots from the lower part of the left jaw straight up to the temple of my head. Lately there has been a twitch of nerve pulsation on my left eyelid that is considerably annoying. A similar pain is felt on the joint of my right foot and just adjoining the knee-cap, and when I walk a good deal the reaction sets in and severe pain is felt for a number of days. Please be so kind as to tell me the causes of both pains and your cures..."
