Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Dr. [666] and wife, and Dr. [589].

TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [666], present in this room. You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the conditions you find at the present time, giving the cause for existing conditions, and the cure and relief for same. You will answer the questions which will be asked concerning his health, and also concerning a contemplated change in his position.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [666], present in this room.
3. In the physical forces of the body, we find in many respects the body is very good. There ARE those conditions that warnings taken, or corrections made, would prevent a disorder arising that would be of a serious nature later on. This, as we find, is produced in the lower portion of the secondary cardiac plexus region, producing a condition to the base of the head, to the sensory system, and to a portion of the body that would affect more the locomotion of the system in a later period, unless corrections were made. [9/21/34 See 666-2, 14-A--16-A, in re pains in coccyx region.] These, as we find, come from that condition existent in the cardiac portion of the stomach itself, this coming by, or producing in this region of the 3rd and 4th dorsal area a suppression to the circulation in its proper relationships to the upper portion of system. This not in the form direct as would eventually cause a paralysis, or paresis, but a leakage there that needs attention in the present, else there may be expected a disorder there.
4. In the general system we find there are those disorders that, in sympathy with, or in changes in the physical forces of the body, these - WITH the proper corrections made, with the correcting of those pressures and adding TO the system in the form of vibratory forces in the low electrical form, and with a stimuli in the nervous and blood supply of the body - would bring a nearer normal condition to this body. These we would make by those corrections of those pressures existent, and the adding to - in the low electrical vibration - in the VIOLET ray, as would be applied in the SYMPATHETIC region of same, from the 6th and 8th dorsal to the base of the head; applying medicinal forces in the form of a tonic, as would be made in this form or manner:
5. In 4 ounces of simple syrup we would add:

   Tincture of Ambrosia Weed..............2 ounces,
Tincture of Stillingia...............1/4 ounce,
Tincture of Wild Ginseng.............1/4 ounce,
Syrup of Sarsaparilla Compound.......1/2 ounce.

   Shake the solution together before the dosage is taken. The dose would be half a teaspoonful three times each day. The addition of these properties in the system will change the digestive forces as to assimilation, causing or producing less of an acid in the digestive system, clarifying a coordinating force (that is, with the correction and the vibration added with same) between the liver and the kidneys, and making for a nearer normal balance. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) What should be done to eliminate bronchitis? [GD's note: Later he told us he had been gassed in France during the war and nothing does the condition any good. 9/21/34 See 666-2, Par. 17-A, giving inhalant.]
   (A) Make those corrections in the system that are pressures in the secondary cardiac plexus region, and we will find these pressures will clarify themselves, with the stimuli as has been given for the correction of a leakage, or a tendency or weakness that would make for a leakage, in this bronchial area.
7. (Q) What is the cause and cure for impotency?
   (A) This, as we find, will clarify itself through those stimulations. The cause is produced from this same condition as exists in this area, see, AFFECTING that portion of the system as produces to the nervous system that making for these disorders - see?
8. (Q) What course should I pursue to develop concentration and a better memory?
   (A) In any of the applications for the development of concentration, first we should have perfect accord and perfect coordination in a physical body - see? As is indicated by these disorders as emanate in the system from the disturbance in the 3rd and 4th dorsal, in the 3rd and 4th cervical areas, these make for a slowing of the impulses in the brain's reaction, especially in the sensory system or sympathetic nervous system. As these react, these make for a tendency of sluggishness, sluggish reaction in the mental and the imaginative forces of the system. Now, when these are clarified - which, as we find, these would be through the corrections as we would make in the area, the adjustments and alignments made in the upper dorsal and through the lower cervical area, then the stimuli to the nervous system and the assimilating system, we will bring about a better coordination, stimulating through the application of the low electrical forces to the capillary circulation or to the exterior portions, these will bring about a more active force in the mental proclivities; the mental concentration then will be a NORMAL thing. In a DEVELOPMENT of mental concentration, the better will ALWAYS be found to be made by entering into the silence; not as is to the body that of merely ROTE to go through a performance, but as an accomplishment of the mental and physical body to create within the physical and mental BEING of the body THAT ability to CONTROL or DIRECT its activities in whatever CHOSEN manner or way it would direct same! In entering into the silence, do so in a prayerful manner, KNOWING in what is set to self AS an IDEAL; not an idea, but let the IDEAS emanate FROM that accomplished in entering into the silence, or two to five minutes each day communing with that of the Creative Forces as may manifest themselves in a mental, a material, and a spiritual way and manner.
9. (Q) Is there anyone in ..., Ohio, that I could get for a tutor to help me?
   (A) There may be many that would help the body in a way of concentrating in these directions. As we would find, those in the profession as is found there are able, capable, and willing to aid in tutoring and aiding the body, [666].
10. (Q) Should I consider a position in the osteopathic hospital in ..., Ohio?
    (A) This association or connection would be very well for the body, but BE the one in control OF that given in the way of ministering, rather than being controlled BY those who would aid or seek to aid in ministering.
11. (Q) How could I eliminate self-consciousness and fear when addressing an audience?
    (A) That's just what we have been talking about, in entering into the silence, by not as rote, but as entering into the consciousness of that of the Creative Forces as gives to all that as was promised, "Take no thought of what ye shall say, for in the self-same hour will it be given thee." When one has reached, and does reach, that consciousness of the Divine's activity within self, then SELF'S consciousness, or self-consciousness, is laid aside.
12. That is all the questions.
13. Much may be accomplished by the body, the body-consciousness of this body, by CONSCIENTIOUSLY and CONSISTENTLY entering into the silence. At a given period each day, each evening; not as rote, but prayerfully meditating on that as WOULD be accomplished through the powers that BE; not from the PHYSICAL viewpoint but the spiritual! The SPIRITUAL gives life, the MATERIAL makes afraid.
14. We are through.
