TEXT

1. (Q) LS: Is the body exercising properly in the mornings and evenings?
   (A) EC: The exercises as taken are very good. They should be taken, however, with the intent and purpose of benefit being derived, rather than an exercise to be gotten through with, but taken rather with the feeling and desire that they bring conditions necessary for improvement in the physical condition of the body. The mode very good. The manner may be better.
2. (Q) Is the body receiving the proper treatment from the osteopath?
   (A) These are better than when we had them before. The osteopath should exercise and give the adjustments in muscular reaction and relaxing to reduce and remove the lesions in the left side. Also those that show somewhat in the central and lateral portion in intestinal tract, that more secretions may be produced, that the system may be able to overcome the tendency of constipation more, and reducing by stimulating the centers governing the blood and nerve supply to intestines, where lesions and adhesions have been, and show their action at times in the system as yet.
3. (Q) Why does the body sometimes have a peculiar buzzing in its ear in the morning?
   (A) The circulation attempting to be equalized in the system. With the scars of adhesions and lesions in the system, the circulation does not get in action in the proper equalized manner in first actions of system. Hence, the necessity of the attitude of the body in exercise taken before arising and exercise taken before resting.
4. (Q) Have the lesions disappeared to any great extent?
   (A) A great deal. As we say, and have given, the lesions show more the scarred tissue at present than lesion in fact, and it is more adhesion that causes trouble than lesions at present. Remove these by the exercise, stimulating secretions and excretions with the osteopathic treatment and giving the nerve incentive through the use of violet ray over the system. The lesions we find, as given, in left and lateral, across the lower portion of diaphragm and abdomen proper, where scar for and of operative conditions show.
5. (Q) Is the body eating properly?
   (A) The diet is very good. Keep close to that being taken in system.
6. (Q) Does the body eliminate properly?
   (A) No. The unequalized circulation, the effect of the digestion and of toxins in system, causes by unequal distribution the high hepatic circulation, causes poor elimination. There are times when this is very good. There are others when it is not good. This is especially shown in the system by the complexion and the texture, as it were, in capillary elimination, causing at times the circles, as it were, under eyes. At special times and periods this shows more than at others, for the equal distribution and the normal discharges from the system have not as yet been entirely brought to normal conditions, but better than we have had them before, except at a few specific times.
7. (Q) Is the body using the violet ray [hand] applicator correctly?
   (A) Very good. May be used more persistently over portions of the system that cause distress at times. That is, used for a longer length of time, that the vibration as received may be better set in system, that stimulation of center as received by the vibration may be accorded better in system.
8. (Q) Should the body use the vibrator at specified times?
   (A) Only use vibrator when near the menstrual periods, that the proper vibration may be set in motion in system, that the system may eliminate through the normal channels better. Then these vibrations would be used over the system from 8th, 9th dorsal to lower end of spine.
9. (Q) Is the blood condition better in this body than it has been?
   (A) Blood condition better. Eliminations at times show more being carried of drosses in blood, but the blood supply itself is, as a unit in itself, a great deal better.
10. (Q) Are the conditions of the nerves better than has been?
    (A) Better.
11. (Q) Is the system being rebuilt again?
    (A) Being rebuilt. Rejuvenated.
12. (Q) Is the body carrying out the mental gymnastics correctly?
    (A) Very good, save as has been outlined, in the manner of taking these portions for the system of the physical attributes to the body. Keep more closely to those intents for which they are taken through mental forces. That is, these exercises, these osteopathic adjustments, these vibrations accorded the system are necessary for the system's gaining its equilibrium physically and mentally. Hold those thoughts, and let the I AM in self respond to same, with the metal vibrations as have and are accorded self in moments and times when the body holds self in the mental vibrations necessary inself.
13. (Q) Why does the body still have trouble in catching its breath when it walks or goes up steps?
    (A) The same condition as produces the dizziness, the high hepatics, the high circulation, brought into play or action in the system, producing a pressure on the diaphragm, which quickens or produces a shortness of breath.
14. (Q) How does the condition of this body now compare to the condition of six months ago?
    (A) A great deal better at the present time than six months ago. Still better than that twelve months ago.
15. (Q) How can the body reduce the lower part of its back?
    (A) Not necessary, and would be at the expense of other portions of system. Wait until the system has adjusted itself before any form of reduction is attempted in this system, for with the strain that would be produced by such we would, with the condition in the side and through intestinal tract, be detrimental to same.

REPORTS

1. 6/21/24 Saturday [1713]'s letter to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce:-
   I have received your letter, and it certainly made me very happy to read its contents, I hope by the next time I take a reading that you will find even better results. It surely is very gratifying and I cannot express my thankfulness as much as I would like to. I have been walking on air the last few days.
   Mr. Cayce, do you see any reason why the lesions shouldn't disappear entirely, since the reading shows merely scars.
   Will you please explain a little bit more plainer the answer to the question: Am I carrying out the mental gymnastics properly?
   In regard to the osteopath would it be alright if I would show that statement to the osteopath so that she would understand what to do by reading it over carefully. Do you think one treatment a week is enough in addition to the treatment I take at home.
   Hoping to hear from you soon, I am
   Sincerely Yours
2. 6/24/24 EC's letter to [1713]:
   P. O. Box 463, Dayton, Ohio, Miss [1713]
   Dear Miss [1713]
   Have yours written Saturday. It certainly is most gratifying to have a letter of this kind, from one who appreciates what I have been trying to do and one who is getting the results you are.
   Now, regarding the questions you asked, I will explain them as fully as I know how. First, I'd like to say, I think it would be nice indeed for you to show that part of your reading to the osteopath. Surely you must have talked to her about same. She is at least in sympathy with the work. To be sure, you would not want to make her antagonistic to the treatment and I feel that she will not be.
   As to the lesions, there is no reason why they should not disappear entirely. As I understand the condition, scars of same are tissue that may or may not be enlivened to produce adhesions, which form lesions, either by inactivity or by the improper action of some form or another. Anyone who has had operations needs especially to be careful of this condition arising, especially an abdominal operation when a body is inclined to be constipated. This becomes very detrimental. The osteopath's treatment once a week, with your exercise, should be sufficient, I am sure, to relieve you of all of this trouble, and I believe that she will agree with you that this is correct.
   Now, as to the mental gymnastics, I think this is the interpretation and what is meant: Your mental attitude towards self and toward everything in general is very good, and as has been meant for you to have, but that you must not take your exercise nor your osteopathic treatments merely as something to be gotten through with and gotten off your hands but rather with that mental attitude that "this is necessary for my best physical and mental condition, and as I am performing these I am gradually growing better and better." I think this is the attitude which is meant regarding the mental gymnastics, especially as related to the physical conditions.
   Again thanking you for your letter, trusting that you will let me hear from you from time to time, and with kindest personal regards, I am
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
