Edgar Cayce Readings, 1289-2

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have that as has been given, as well as those conditions that surround the body.
As has been indicated, while the ministrations are the expressions of the divine, the activities and those things as surround the body are such that they are for the entity's development.
That there may be a prolonging, that there may be the opportunity for some to give the greater expressions of those influences in their experience for the manifestations of love and of patience and of consideration, physical applications may be made. But these, as we have indicated from the natures of these, are from a prenatal condition of a septic influence - whose very nature is for physical destructive forces.
Thus as these increase, unless there is a setting about or ridding of conditions - Not that the power or the might of Divine is short; not that these may not be applied in the experience - but if - will those applying same, will those responsible for the body and those channels through which such conditions have come, pay that price necessary? or will they continue to hold - as their patience, as their wonderment - that of animosity or that of a grudge or that of such anxiety that it becomes condemnation?
For that ye condemn in another, ye become guilty of that ye condemn them in.
For thy Pattern has never condemned ANY man, nor any man's soul, but has prepared a way of escape, ever.
In the physical reactions we find, as has been given and indicated, through those seeking in a manner to aid, there are hindrances in the coordination between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nervous system. These have formed and do form through the lacteal duct areas that wherein the enzymes of the body are inefficient to meet the nature or character of activity in the system. Thus we find these conditions in the physical forces, with the attempts of the food values and food activities and the conditions that arise from a sepsis - or a nature that comes from syphilitic reaction.
By patience, by application of the oils - or the Castor Oil - continuously for two, three, four days, rest two to three days and then begin again, and then continuing with these, we may PROLONG those conditions by building resistances.
If we can awaken in those who are responsible, in those who would bring help and relief, the consciousness that the Divine MAY aid - and through their very activities to individuals day by day - we may bring with the physical that of spiritual healing also, that may aid.
The Castor Oil Packs would necessarily be as hot as the body can stand same, continuously, almost continuously for two to three days; rest two to three days; begin again.
Then give those influences within that make for the same character of an activity throughout the system, but give these in Olive Oil and not Castor Oil. This will supply food to the body.
Remember, applications physical - or mechanical applications, or medications, or such active forces are an expression of the divine; as must be the prayers and meditations of those if they would bring help to the body.
Massages with these each day will aid, will help. If these will be carried through, help may come. If these will be given only as partially or as not necessary for this or that, then only that much of help or aid will come.
Ready for questions.
(Q) How should the Olive Oil be given in what quantities and how often?
(A) After the Packs have been given for two to three days, then for two to three days drink about two tablespoonsful twice a day of the Pure Olive Oil.
(Q) Are there any conditions of the body that uncorrected might lead to convulsions?
(A) As has been indicated, the causes are a lack of the coordination between the replenishing and the body functioning. In the assimilations the lack of certain forms of enzymes, and these are in the reproductive system but activative in the lacteal duct, gall duct and spleen area. Hence through the alimentary canal the upset, bringing temperature, bringing convulsions or the breaking of that coordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system.
Causes arise from that not in the immediate generation, but has skipped one.
(Q) Is the diet being correctly followed?
(A) These as we find should be kept at least eighty percent alkalin to twenty percent acid-producing. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

12/15/36 Letter from EC to [1289]'s godmother:
"I don't understand what there is so unusual about the case of [1289] - that the information that we have gotten each time has been so out of the ordinary. But do hope that something may be used from that just sent you to be of a help to him as well as a satisfaction to you. Know we will be more than glad to try and help at any time. Hope to be in ... sometime in Jan. or Feb. and trust may have the opportunity to see and talk with you, and to see the young man also if I may. Please let us hear from you."
12/15/36 EC's letter to Dr. Nona Grapes:
"Was so in hopes from your questions that we might get something that might be very helpful with [1289]. I do not understand the case myself - could you imagine just what is the reason for the type of information that has come - you being near and knowing the circumstances that surround the case - may have some idea.
"We would appreciate it if you have any thoughts on the subject, if you will write me. Please know we would like to help anywhere we may, but have never had just such a report each time we have tried it.
"Should you care to try out the suggestions given and wish to ask us anything about them, please do. We have had two cases here somewhat similar as to the attacks, where the packs have been suggested with marvelous results. Hope to see you first of the year sometime."
7/60 In Dr. W.N. Pahnke's breakdown of 96 cases of epilepsy from the Edgar Cayce readings, he classified Case [1289] in group 3, saying: "The readings give the diagnosis of congenital syphilis. Much spiritual counsel was given but not much real hope for physical improvement."
