Edgar Cayce Readings, 1268-2

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body, [1268]; this we have had before.
As we find, conditions are quite different from that as we have had here before. In most EVERY way there are improvements; not only in the general physical reactions but the general outlook, the general perspective of a material experience.
While much might be said regarding the mental and spiritual aspects, these as we find merely kept in that activity of a creative outlook for the spiritual insight will only make for a broadening of the vision and the experiences of the entity.
In the physical body, these as we find need much of that which has been indicated to be kept; especially as related to the diet and the activities that prevent accumulations or the excesses of drosses or starches that make for a hardening upon the activity of the glandular system as related to the glands of the body. (Don't confuse granular with glandular!)
These as we find kept in the manners as indicated are preferable for the body.
Sun baths. Occasionally, as we find, rubs following vapor Baths would be well; or as in the environment in which there are apparently the prospects - where there may be the Health Institute activities; IF the body indicates that it desires, however, rather than being dictated to even in this Institute! Go there only for the rubs and the baths, and these as we find would keep, through the winter period, a better response and a better activity for the body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Has there ever been a "sugar" condition or a diabetic condition in this body? If so, are there any traces present now?
(A) Any body that has reached the age of this body has at one time or another had these inclinations; as has been indicated for this body. But, as given, if there is the proper balance kept in the diets and in the assimilations and for the glandular activities of the body, these may be kept in check - FROM the present conditions.
(Q) Please give analysis of urine.
(A) This as we find shows at the present some excess of sediments and a little of the albumin. This is an excess owing to the increased activity that has been produced by the actions or influences of those activities of the body upon this particular portion of the hepatic circulation. But as we find there may be found a great deal of change in the SPECIFIC, IN the conditions of the urine analysis, day by day! Not such a change that there is a fearful condition or even anxiety respecting the conditions. Some sugar is indicated in the present. If a few drinks of Coca-Cola or any super-alkaline-reacting vibrations would be taken, these would clarify and purify the reactions in these directions.
Hence as has been indicated, the need for baths and rubs as well as the vitamin reactions from ultra-violet upon the body through sun baths.
(Q) What should be done about changing eye glasses?
(A) As we find, during those periods when the body is to be a considerable period in the sun, or in strong light, we would give it preferable rather to use the shaded or the rose glass, or amber glass, and not change the reading or the regular glasses; not until after there is a return or a change in the environments. And this as we find would not be necessary then in the next two or three months.
(Q) Are connections and condition of appliances satisfactory?
(A) These are very good, but as we find if there are those others to be used; that is, the sun rays and the rubs, we would not use the Appliance during the strong use of the other influences, see?
Hence when the body returns to the use of these, only have the connections inspected. But keep all portions, as has been given, apart when not in use.
(Q) Should any particular rub be used after Vapor Baths?
(A) Those that are ordinarily given with such conditions. This would depend, to be sure, much upon the character of fume bath; whether it would be of the pine oils or just the olive oil with the alcohol rubs afterward, and at times - of course - the salt rum or rub is very well.
But keep in those ways and manners; and - as the body has gradually grown to do more recently than formerly, or for some years - during those meditative periods let that thought permeate those expressions of self:
"O LORD, LET ME BE WILLING TO BE USED AS THOU SEEST I MAY FOR THE FULFILLING OF THAT - O GOD - THOU WOULD HAVE ME DO, AND BE, IN THIS EXPERIENCE. THY WILL, O FATHER, NOT MINE, BE DONE IN AND THROUGH ME!"
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

12/08/36 [1268]'s ltr. to EC: "...I would like a Check Reading on or about December 21. I am going to Florida after Christmas and will be away three months. It will be hard to carry wet cell battery (Can I stop that part of treatment for that time?) but I could take it in car if it is mentioned in the new reading. I would like to ask if I have too much sugar in blood. I am feeling so much better - blood pressure went down from 194 to 168 and I have lost 15 pounds... I know you will find me much better..."

"Still out of a job and trying to plug along. If it were not for the little that [our son] earns and the extreme kindness and help from Mrs. [1268] and her husband, both of whom are answers to your prayers for us, we would not be carrying on at all."
