This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 17th day of August, 1938, in accordance with request made by the self, through husband - Mr. [1662], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [1646].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [1661] and Mr. [1662].

TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time, with special reference to defective hearing. You will give the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions that may be asked concerning her condition, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Mrs. [1661].
3. Now as we find, while there are deficiencies and defections in the physical reactions of the body, all of the activities, the hopes, the desires, the purposes and aims MUST be taken into consideration - in giving or in determining the activities for the body in regaining to ANY extent the use of the faculties of the physical forces.
4. For each body, through its experience in the material plane, is meeting its own self. And there needs be those developments, those awarenesses, those consciousnesses of the relationships of the activities of self - physical, mental and spiritual - to the whole.
5. Hence we may give, then, those activities which have caused and do cause these disturbances, but we would not hinder, we would not make other than a concerted activity in the awareness and in the awakening the consciousness of the entity's inner self to its relationship to the Creative Forces as may manifest through the entity's own self, as in relationships to its guards or guides in the material association and experiences.
6. In the physical - we find in many respects a very good physical reaction, owing to the directions that have been indicated in the manner of conduct of the body, as related to its activities in the assimilating and eliminating activities of the system.
7. For, physically, there is innate within each physical body the ability for resuscitation - when there is the proper balance or relationship kept in the assimilating and eliminating system.
8. It is only the consciousness, on account of error or disturbances that have existed and do exist in the consciousness of the human mind, that brings even deterioration in the physical attributes of the body.
9. For when there is the awareness or consciousness of the at-oneness with the Creative or God-Force within the experience of each soul, that is kept and acknowledged and held and LIVED, the individual entity thus creates, revibrates to continued constructive influences within the self.
10. In the physical attributes as related to the hearing - we find in times past there began first a little adherence, or conditions in the form of an eczema within the ear tubes themselves. This not being heeded, nor a balance of the acidity and alkalinity of the system kept properly, gradually produced a prolapsus of the Eustachian tube.
11. Thus it has caused a disturbance physically within those activities of same - until the Eustachian tubes have so deteriorated as to prevent sufficient quantity of the flow for the balance of the fluids to keep a normal balance in that particular portion of the activity of the organ.
12. BUT:
13. With the suggestions and the type of treatments that are given, and have been maintained, and are constantly being given for the body - if there is added an equalizer in the form as we will indicate here - we find that these conditions will be met in such a manner that the body may use even those deficiencies as stepping-stones, rather than hindrances, in the ministration it may give in being ITSELF a channel of blessings to others. This may be done in such a way and manner as to bring harmony and peace within first the own mental consciousness, through the spiritual attributes, and into the physical forces greater harmonious activity.
14. Use then with same, each day, the Radio-Active Appliance - which only acts as an equalizer to the vibratory forces set up within the body.
15. Rather than making the attachments to the extremes of the body, we would, however, in this particular case, make the attachments as follows:
16. The anode marked to be attached first, the plate from this would be one day attached to the 3rd dorsal center, the next day to vagus center - or the 1st and 2nd dorsal - BETWEEN the 1st and 2nd dorsal center, see? so that the ganglia may be stimulated that create the impulse for bodily flow of functioning to the suggested activities as will be and are given from time to time for the movements and impulses. These attachments would be alternated each day, you see, in the manner indicated; while the other plate - always attached LAST would be EACH day attached to the lacteal duct and umbilicus plexus.
17. Use the Appliance thusly for one hour each day.
18. And let such a period be used for a purposefulness in the meditation. Let it be in thine own words, but with these thoughts as the meditating ideal:
19. "FATHER, GOD! IN ME LET FLOW THY LOVE, THROUGH THE GRACE AND MERCY THAT WILL BRING THAT CONDITION IN BODY, IN MIND, THAT BEST FITS ME - THY CHILD, THY SERVANT - FOR GREATER SERVICE IN THY NAME!
20. "THROUGH JESUS, THE CHRIST, THE PROMISE IS GIVEN THAT WHAT WE ASK IN HIS NAME MAY BE DONE IN MY BODY!
21. "LET ME SO LIVE MY OWN LIFE THAT I MAY CONSTRAIN OTHERS TO GLORIFY THEE, AND TO REALIZE THAT THY PROMISES ARE SURE AND CERTAIN IN HIM.
22. "FATHER, KEEP THOU MY WAYS, MY MIND, MY BODY, MY SPIRIT - IN HIM."
23. Then as these are accomplished in thy body, ye will find not only are thy days filled more and more with the love of the fellow man, but the realization that as ye mete to thy fellow man in passing so ye do it unto thy Maker, thy God!
24. These - will ye do - ye will keep the faith that is set in Him and in His promises. For these are sure.
25. Let the love of the Father constrain thee. Keep thou His precepts. For His promises are, "If ye will be my children, I will be thy God," and the second is like unto same, even as in Jesus, the Christ, "Lo, I am with thee always - even unto the end."
26. These consciousnesses, these awarenesses held in thy daily thought, thy daily activity, will bear fruit.
27. As ye are directed then by thy loved ones, thy guides, thy guards, keep the faith. For as by faith ye are healed, according to that in WHOM ye have trusted - know that in Jesus ye are able; that He is able to keep that ye commit unto Him against any experience that may arise within thy associations of every nature. For the extremes only meet in Him. His love is sufficient. Keep His ways.
28. Ready for questions.
29. (Q) We are giving her a healing treatment each night (the husband [See 1661-1, Par. R2] acting as the medium through which the mother might aid).
    (A) As indicated, these treatments are to be kept up.
    And as she meditates, with those vibratory forces being equalized by their activity of the body itself - or by the vibratory forces within the body itself being equalized through the Appliance as indicated, see - more and more will there be given those instructions to meet not ONLY the physical problems daily but the mental and material as well.
30. We are through with this Reading. [See 1661-1, Par. R1.]

REPORTS

1. Remarks after Reading [1661-1]: Had scarlet fever when young girl, did not know how to treat the ears. Was examined by Dr. Snyder [C. Paul Snyder, D.O.], osteopathic finger surgeon of Philadelphia, who said she had eczema on Eustachian tube; said he could help the condition over a period of time, by removing adherences, etc., but she decided to follow her spiritual healing methods instead. There is a definite prolapsus of the tube; at times she can hear perfectly, just for a second, and it closes off.
