Edgar Cayce Readings, 666-2

(Body and enquiring mind, in regard to his work, his material affairs and associations, also his better physical and material welfare. Questions.)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [666], present in this room; this we have had before.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Would Dr. [589], ..., N.C., and myself profit by practicing together at ..., Dayton, Ohio?
(A) Yes, these relationships we have had before. As we find, this would be a most satisfactory association, and would work for the benefit in a material way and in the abilities of each to be of a greater service to their fellow man. While in the practice of those conditions that may effect a physical benefit in the experience of any it is well, if any such practitioner would succeed, that the basis of why and how that aid comes to an individual at any period of experience be stressed; for it becomes worth while, and makes for not only more and greater contentment in the experience of the practitioner but builds for such an one an experience that may indeed be worth while. Not that any such an one would become as one that would be unkindly spoken of in these directions; for, as has been said, "Let not thy good be evilspoken of," but line upon line may there be given - in making the applications for the relief of conditions in the experiences of any - that which makes for a mental and spiritual aid as well.
(Q) How soon?
(A) These, of course, from the PRACTICAL side demand that consideration be given to those whom those have served that are to make a change, especially; but as soon as in justice to those concerned would be the better and not only self or self's interests but those whom [589] has served.
(Q) What prospects are there for us in Middletown, Ohio?
(A) There we find somewhat of a different element from the Dayton vicinity, that would be the basis - or the greater activities would be among a different type of individuals. While the changes in Middletown are more in the nature of dependence upon the fewer activities or industries, those in Dayton present rather the more stable surrounding. This from the practical point; but there may be worked to a point of a clientele in that vicinity and surrounding that would be well. But Dayton as we find, is the better.
(Q) How about Charlotte, N.C., for a new location?
(A) Again we have in that environ or vicinity those things that are dependent upon circumstances and conditions that are not in the hands of the ones that would serve. This would be very good, but not so well as Dayton.
(Q) Do you think it would be possible and wise to open an up-to-date office with new equipment in business section at Dayton, Ohio? How soon?
(A) As indicated, this is plausible and possible; but, as we find, this should be RATHER the outcome or the growth from the combined efforts on the part of the association; and in the course of one, two or three years make such a change. So, the ... Street address would be the more PREFERABLE until conditions have adjusted themselves to the new associations, the new abilities, the new activities of such an association.
(Q) Is the Dayton Industrial Bldg., 3rd & Ludlow Sts., Dayton, Ohio, a good location for a new office?
(A) This is a good location, but - as we say, and as we see from those conditions - this should be preferably an outgrowth.
(Q) Or should we practice separately; myself, Dr. [666], at my present location, ... St., Dayton, Ohio, and Dr. [589] in Middletown, Ohio? If not in Middletown, what town in Ohio?
(A) As we find, the combined efforts and the combined activities, the possibilities and the aid that one would be with the other, would be the much preferable, and the better manner for making the greater advancement - not only in ABILITIES, but in the attracting and in the activity for aid in their chosen fields of activity.
While Middletown, as given, is very good, this may be kept as a field to DRAW FROM. While this does not make for an IDEAL way, with the proper precautions, the proper activity, it may be a field to draw heavily upon.
(Q) Would Miss Mabel [...], ... Ave., ..., N.C., fit in as our office girl and X-Ray Technician?
(A) Better technician than an office girl, as we find, and in this field of activity it should be very soon that two would be required; while for the time being it might be that it would be very well, but an excellent technician - and one worthy of consideration for such a place.
(Q) Will I sell or trade my property at ... St., Dayton, Ohio? If so, how soon?
(A) As we find, this is plausible; but under the existent conditions, as we find, it would be better - from many a standpoint - to retain same for at least one and a half to two years, when better prices may be had and better changes for all concerned, when conditions have been set in a more UNDERSTANDABLE way and manner. For it is natural, though there be the proper relationships, that each must adjust self to the other in treatments and calling upon one another for judgements; for two heads are better than one!
(Q) I have first mortgage on home, ... St., Dayton, Ohio. Will Mrs. Wm. [...], ... St., Dayton, cancel mortgage when due?
(A) She will make arrangements for the carrying for same.
(Q) Where can I locate a Chiropractor to take over my present location at ... St., Dayton, Ohio?
(A) As we find, there are those regular channels through which these contacts may be made, and it is well that all in the profession confine themselves as near as good judgement does permit to service and work through these channels. However, as we find, as indicated, it would be better to USE same for the present.
(Q) When sitting down I have pains at coccyx region. What caused this? Is there a remedy for this?
(A) Here we find in the body the indications that have been referred to before. [See 666-1] This is a condition that arises not only from the coccyx area itself but from a strain on the POSITION of the descending colon. Have SELF x-rayed; you'll see the condition here!
In correcting same, begin not only with the DIRECT connection in the segments that go with the muscular forces to the correct position, but those that are of the secondary nature in the sacral and even to the lower lumbar area, in making the correct adjustment. Stimulation also with such treatments through the electrical vibrations will aid.
(Q) What electrical vibrations should be used?
(A) Those of the deep therapy, as the ULTRA-violet - or the VIOLET, with the heavy applicator.
(Q) Where applied?
(A) Principally the application should be to the lower portion of the lumbar area, for here we find the branching of the nerve ends in the cerebrospinal that supply to the ligaments and tissue in the sacral and coccyx regions the nerve energies from the general system.
(Q) What about the bronchitis?
(A) Stimulate those areas in the 3rd and 4th dorsal area, and use an antiseptic as an inhalant that does not irritate but acts as an antiseptic to the mucous membranes in the throat and head; as a combination in this manner:
To 4 ounces of pure grain alcohol (in a 6 to 8 ounce container, preferably with a glass cork), add:
Shake the solution together when inhaled, and inhale deep into the bronchial tubes - through the mouth, from the bottle direct. This, you will find, will CLARIFY the condition; of course, stimulating same by the adjustments in the 3rd and 4th dorsal area. This is the sympathetic condition to the bronchials.
(Q) Any other advice at this time?
(A) Another consideration in changes in the environs, in the surroundings, as respecting the health of self, of those that may be associated with self in the activities, as we find, these would be the better in the area as indicated, than either farther south or in a different environ.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

3/09/35 "Dr. [589] picked up and went back to N.C. and left me with two offices - not so good. He must have been homesick."
11/06/35 Dr. [589]'s letter: "I feel sure Dr. [666] and I could have made a go of it in Dayton if I could have just made him see we would have to creep before we walked, as - if you remember the reading told us it would be about two years before we could really be doing things, but he was just too flighty and wanted to go into it too heavily to suit me, so I felt the best thing for me to do was to get to myself again. Then at some later date, when conditions warrant, we can have another reading to find out what would be the best for us to do, and also if I made a mistake in doing what I did."
11/23/39 See 589-4 advising Dr. [589] that all his physical ills stemmed from his mental attitude [he had broken up his marriage early that year, telling his wife he didn't want her any more, etc.].
11/12/42 Dr. [589]'s ex-wife, Mrs. [371], wrote: "I have been in ..., Ohio with my sister (wife of Dr. [666]) for three years now. Have been working in a florist shop."
