Edgar Cayce Readings, 1147-1

(Physical Suggestion)

EC: Yes, we have the body, [1147].
Now, as we find, conditions that surround the body and the conditions in the physical forces of the body in the present DO NOT allow for these changes, those alterations in the administering to the better welfare of the body in the present; other than that which IS being administered in the present.
Then, as we find, it would be better that those conditions, those circumstances that arise in the physical reactions, be carried on in the manner that has been outlined for this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What is wrong there?
(A) As given and intimated, those conditions are understood by those administering. To alter or to change these in the present would be harmful rather than for helpful or hopeful conditions.
(Q) Is there any cure for the body?
(A) Those administrations that are being made are the more helpful; not curing - these are only helpful and only may maintain those conditions about the body for the best in the present.
(Q) What has caused this condition?
(A) These have arisen from the general activities and the infectious forces that have arisen in the general activities of the body, from those sources as come from without to those periods of activity in the development for this body.
We are through for the present.

GD's note: Mrs. [1147]'s son-in-law, who was present, said she had arthritis, couldn't get about, the doctor considered it incurable. He couldn't understand why if we had had a successful treatment for another arthritis case [951], no details were given for Mrs. [1147]. This comment was made following the reading and not preceding it. Hugh Lynn Cayce later talked with the son-in-law who explained that he had talked with Mrs. [1147]'s doctor before the reading was given and that he had been very antagonistic and uncooperative. Hugh Lynn felt this was the reason for the reading being so brief and non-committal.

5/19/36 Son-in-law's letter to HLC: "Thank you very much for your letter of 5/13th enclosing report on arthritis case [951]. After the rdg. on Mrs. [1147] you mentioned you would be glad to give another rdg. on her without charge. If you would like to do this, I will be happy to arrange the time to suit your convenience. Thank you again for the report and the opportunity I had of witnessing the rdgs."
6/19/36 HLC's letter: "As I told you in N.Y. we will be glad to a arrange for another rdg. I felt that your remarks to my father regarding the doctor's attitude in this case created a subconscious barrier to the attunement. On the other hand the conditions may be such - as indicated in the reading - that changes would be detrimental. Our desire to be of assistance is paramount, but naturally we are interested in knowing more about improving the conditions surrounding a rdg. so that the best results possible may be obtained in each case. If it meets with your approval we will set the appointment for 7/6th from 11 to 12 standard time. Kindly confirm this period and give the address where Mrs. [1147] will be or indicate if it will be the same as before. I shall be glad to listen at this rdg. and add such questions as seem wise in order to clear up this matter and obtain suggestions that will be of help."
[GD's note: No confirmation. We did not hear again.]
