Edgar Cayce Readings, 1122-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find there are those abnormal conditions with this body, and these may - with proper care, attention - in a systematic and in a consistent manner, be brought to a near normal force for this body. Time is necessary, yet changes and developments may be seen early in the applications of those forces that may bring the bettered conditions for the body. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [1122] we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this lacking in efficiency to the extent that there is not that in the white OR red blood supply that aids in building in a PROPER manner. While the plasm in the blood has builded in a structural manner, as has the development of the mental forces of the body - but to produce the coordination between that that creates the reaction from the active forces OF both structural and mental development, to the active forces within the PHYSICAL being, is that as is necessary - and this condition as existent must be taken into consideration. HOWEVER, this a result - not a cause - in the condition.
IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, OR SYSTEMS - RATHER SHOULD IT BE HERE, here we find rather the cause or the seat of the conditions, for in the sacral and coccyx we find pressures that prevent the body in its NORMALCY from giving the proper reaction in the directions as are given by IMPULSES, even to the brain centers. This existent in the region where the activity of the pineal gland, with the development of the forces of the system itself, prevent a NORMAL reaction. Not that the impulses as come to the system through the development of the organs of the system, or those of impulses as to all developments of a normal physical body, through the adrenal or the lyden, or the upper portion of pineal, or those of the glands in the forces of the system do not coordinate - but those as from LOCOMOTION, from the lower portion of those of the sympathetics, with those of the plexus governing the left side, are such that these do not coordinate WITH those of the cerebro-spinal in the gray reflex forces in the nerve system itself. A PRESSURE exists in the coccyx and sacral. NATURALLY there are reflexes existent in the lower lumbar and in dorsal and in those of the head and neck. These are REFLEXES, however, and are results - not causes - of the condition. The injury as exists in coccyx and sacral, is the cause.
Now, to meet the needs of these conditions would be not only to correct in an osteopathic manner those conditions existent in that of the coccyx and sacral, but to so subserve the mental reactions of the SUPPRESSED forces as to bring coordination between sympathetic and cerebro-spinal, and to reduce that tendency of the end of the pineal to develop with the natural forces of the body. These may be accomplished by the correcting, then, of the condition - the putting of the body into that mental state where the subconscious forces of itself will DIRECT that as is to be ACCOMPLISHED in the physical. ALSO to add those vibrations, electrically given, of the deep therapy - sinusoidally given - that the nerves in the lumbar and sacral and coccyx coordinate WITH those of the great plexus in the 5th dorsal center. Do that. We will bring better conditions for this body.
The subservient conditions are those that operate THROUGH those of the psychic forces of the body. Hence metaphysical, or those of any nature that add to the understanding of self, aid the body. Ready for questions.
(Q) Is the physician that is treating her metaphysically bringing about the desired results?
(A) Only in part, and CAN only in part, until physical conditions are brought to a normal force, and these will be brought the better by the coordination of the two, one with another.
(Q) This same physician is treating the eye. Is it possible that he will bring this back?
(A) If the conditions throughout the whole system were coordinating, these would bring much better conditions for the body throughout the whole system! The very activity that there is seen the sympathetic reaction as is seen with the body, shows how that the effect of metaphysical forces may act in the body.
(Q) Was the injury the whole cause of this trouble? or was some of it from the mother's condition?
(A) Injury the whole cause, WITH the developments of the body in its developing stage afterward, see? Then, of course, the environmental, as we have just given, of sympathetic forces, are to play an active part in the healing. Then the OVER condition in the opposite has been much of a result or cause; not primary cause, but an effect in the condition, or in the system.
(Q) How can they control the mental state, as suggested by the Forces?
(A) Through those of what is primarily called hypnosis, or in that of the subservient condition of the mind - it may be done as the body sleeps, FIRST - see?
(Q) Is it necessary to have some special one to give this treatment?
(A) One who may be trusted, and one who may be able to do such. It wouldn't begin with the first - but such an one as A. C. Layne [Al C. Layne, D.O.], or such an one as Charles Taylor [Charles Francis Taylor, Consulting Psychologist]. Either of these would be well.
(Q) For the entire treatment or just that part of it?
(A) Entire treatment, except those of the sinusoidal rays. These then necessary to be given through electrical vibration. Neither of these are electrical vibrations in themselves, though they CREATE electrical vibration, so far as consideration is to the sympathetic nerve system.
(Q) Could this treatment be followed at her home, or would it be best to come to the Hospital?
(A) It wouldn't get them in either place! NECESSARY that these be so combined, or the PREPARATIONS might be made at hospital. WHEREVER that these may be carried out! Those are the suggestions. Do these. We are through for the present. These are not impossible conditions. These may be arranged. DO that. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

3/29/29 Mother's letter to EC:
Dr. Cayce, Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Sir:
I have just been told about you as a very successful Psychic healer, that your charges are $25.00. I suppose that means in advance, and I can't have it for you for several weeks very probably. However, I should like to know if you think you can help my daughter who is said to be paralyzed tho it all seems to be nerve tension for six years until now she has lost voluntary use of her left hand and still drags her left leg, tho not as badly as before treatment by a fine chiropractor here. In fact, she is better relaxed in every way from that and metaphysical treatment. She is now under treatment of a good metaphysician, has been for nearly four months but her response is very slow so far.
She fell while on roller skates six years ago and six weeks after she was taken ill, with what Doctor called acute St. Vitus Dance and what the nerve specialists afterwards called sleeping sickness. I don't think any of them are correct and I firmly believe that there is perfect healing for her.
Her mind has been perfect thru all of the excruciating physical pain and all the heart ache of being cut off from social life and out of her big ambitions.
I shall appreciate a prompt reply expressing your opinion of her case.
Yours very sincerely,
[[1122]'s mother]

Dear Mrs. [...]
Replying to yours of the 29th, I am sending you information respecting the work we are doing here. As you will see from this, I am not a healer in any sense of the word. I am always glad to lend any service in any way possible to try to be of assistance to the sick and ailing. Just as to whether the information could be or would be of assistance, I could not possibly give you any assurance of same. I can only tell you the experience of others. I promise nothing. I would like very much to try to be of a help, if you would feel that you would like for this to be tried - but as to saying that I can assure you of help, I could not!
Look over the information - consider well the experiences of others - then you can let us know.
Hoping that we may be of a service, I am
Sincerely, [signed] Edgar Cayce [EC:GD]
4/06/29 Mother's reply to EC: Hearty thanks for reply and information. We have been drinking it in today - Sunday, April 6th. Earnestly hope to take it up in a few weeks. Sincerely yours, [1122]
