Now, we find that the mental attitude, and the mental forces
of this body, needs more attention than that of the purely
physical conditions, for, with the correct mental attitude
towards self, and the duties that the body, physical and
mental, owes and is due others, the physical conditions would
near correct themselves, and, without this awakening of the
mental and physical responsibilities of this entity, those
physical conditions as are brought about by the weakening of
the mental forces, through the strain produced on the nerve
system, there will be no need of the correction in the
physical, for this would only bring other conditions that
would prove as detrimental to the physical being as of the
conditions as are produced.
To bring about such conditions, there needs be much change
in the surroundings of this individual, in the manner of
thinking, of reading, of association. While this is not to
be contributed to those of the present in a detrimental
way and manner, yet that responsibility has not been awakened
in the individual through the manner in which the body has
been approached at the present time. Better would be those
of those surroundings that bring more of the spiritual nature
in its strength, rather than in its ecclesiastical nature,
for the strength of the individual is in that awakened in
the mental towards those duties of the spiritual and physical
nature, that may NOT be separated in the material world.
Such may be found in that of the study of those tenets as
are found in that called New Thought, or in Unity, for in
either there may be awakened that as is necessary to bring
to this body that as will give the best physical and
spiritual well being, for the INNER man is sick rather than
the physical.
Then go about to make those changes, and in those changes
there will come the awakening of the divine that is within
that must answer to the individual, and bring life, health
and strength, as the morning follows the night.
We are through.
BACKGROUND
7/07/26 Mother wired for the reading. EC wrote making
appointment. She verified appointment giving his location
but no indication of his age or his particular health
problem.
REPORTS
8/15/26 Correspondence of mother indicated she didn't
understand the reading; wondered why his deafness wasn't
mentioned, since that was the reason for obtaining the
reading. "Am I right in gathering from you that the boy
is unhappy, or dissatisfied, or could it have been that he
was in that condition at the time of the reading, due to my
request that he remain in his tent on that day between those
hours, for I have since learnt that he was annoyed at my
request, as I had naturally given him no special reason.
I had hoped that the reading would have divulged his poor
hearing, and a definite cure for same."
8/18/26 Edgar Cayce replied in his letter: "Just why the
defect in the hearing was not mentioned in the reading, I
cannot tell you, as I do not know, but, as I understand from
same, the seat of the trouble was really deeper than the
hearing - one that would possibly undermine the physical
health and certainly would prove detrimental to any defect
in any portion of the body... If you will try this for at
least 30 to 60 days, then let us give another reading and
check up on any change... I believe the information will
prove as beneficial to your son as it has to thousands of
others."
Questions submitted by mother and friend, Mr. [
257], 10/13
and
10/14/26, for a check-physical and a life reading for the
body; indicated he was in high school building and would be
there between certain hours, did not need a definite
appointment to be found there.
