(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here. In the physical functionings of the body there are disorders that cause reactions that are NOT normal. So, in that reaction, we find a body rather at dis-ease than diseased body. This, then, as we would find, would have much to do with the MENTAL AND physical reactions. To this body these conditions may best be described, possibly, in THIS manner, will these be followed closely:
There is the physical body with its attributes; the functioning organs of same considered as the physical man.
There is the MENTAL body with ITS attributes; THIS also a portion of the physical man; the attributes of the mental body being those functioning organs known as the senses of the body. While that condition creating any action from same is known from without, yet that on which the physical body becomes conscious OF same is through the attributes OF the body known as the organs of the sensory system.
There is also the SPIRITUAL body, the ENTITY, the WHOLE of the body with ITS attributes; the attributes being those of desire, of imagination, of those things builded which become akin or active with, as the functioning organs, as those of the conditions that become as the various activities or those conditions which become as habits, those ACCUSTOMED things. The attributes of same are of the subconscious, or that MIND of the soul and ITS ideal - the SOUL of the body being that of the SPIRIT, or the life.
Now, how does this compare - then - in the outlook as to the physical conditions in THIS body as we have here?
In the comparisons, we find these become active in this manner, that - in the active forces of the physical body, through those of the forces of the MENTAL body, become distorted in their reaction upon the physical being much in the same way and manner as habit distorts the vision, the desire, the outlook, the imagination of the SPIRITUAL body - see? In this manner, then, does these active forces upon the physical body become those conditions which bring about the distortedness of the activities, the ability to condemn self, find fault in self's own actions, in the replies or the retorts as may be made from others to the active forces of the body itself; yet in this, that the forces as are led in any active physical force OF the body must be in accord WITH those of the abilities of the imaginative and desire of body to be keeping the activities of the habits of the mind, of the sensory system, of the fleshly desires of the activities of the physical body, in accord WITH and for, and active TO, and active WITH, those in that held as an ideal for the body.
In the physical forces, then, these bring about such conditions as we find, that in the active forces of the sensory system and the sympathetic nerve system the body LOSES its CONTROL of self; the physical reaction being through same to all the ORGANS of the body through those activities that are brought about between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal system. These bring those conditions that, when the body is in its own action in keeping with those conditions being brought about in the system, become subjective TO those forces.
Then, to keep or to make, or to bring about the proper reactions, we would add to those of the physical forces that vibration in the physical that would keep FOR the body the normal equilibrium between the cerebro-spinal and the sympathetic nerve system, or to the solar plexus reaction to that of the pineal gland; adding to, then, that force that will RAISE for the body those of the forces through the mental reactions in the physical body as to keep the outlook in a POSITIVE, ACTIVE, manner. This we may find will aid in bringing this about, WILL the body USE its OWN ABILITIES physical to assist in same, in the use of the Radio-Active Appliance - in the ordinary or plain form, but the APPLICATION being made TO the solar plexus AND to that of the first CERVICAL center. These we would add at least once each day for at least twelve to twenty days. THEN they may be taken whenever the body feels that feeling of that the OUTER man, or the skin itself, is SEPARATING itself from the INNER body, or that the whole of the body is as of duplex in itself. This occurs before collapse in mental forces and in the reactions of the body. When this is beginning to feel that this is arising, USE the appliance for at least an hour. During the first portion use it an hour each evening, as the body is ready to retire. We will find the outlook, the changes in the physical forces, the changes in the whole of the life, changes in the whole mental outlook - but STUDY the connection in THAT manner as has been ILLUSTRATED for the body. Ready for questions.
(Q) What is meant by the first cervical center?
(A) That position occupied between the axis of the head itself and the first and second cervical.
(Q) What can be done to relieve the bronchial condition?
(A) Change the vibratory forces as come for the system as is in activity through those of making the proper coordination between that of sympathetic and cerebro-spinal, as will be seen by the application of the Radio-Active force, which RAISES the vibration so that it makes of the portion of the body - through throat and bronchia, is relieved of that pressure as active through those of the secondary cardiac reflexes, as is known by the body. Change these, so that the activities are through their natural channels, and this irritation disappears.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

NEW YORK CITY
Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Mr. Cayce:-
A week ago today I had a reading at which time the Radio Active Appliance was suggested. On the day following, Thursday, Dr. Lydic at Cayce's Hospital assured me that I should receive the Appliance within four to five days. It hasn't arrived and I am wondering about it. Should appreciate some information relative to when I may, reasonably, expect it. There is a possibility of my resuming my work load and I should like to have it with me.
Would thank you for anything you can tell me about.
With regards to you, Mrs. Cayce & your Father, I am,
Faithfully yours, [1728]

Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Mr. Cayce:-
The Radio Active Appliance arrived today but, imagine my consternation upon opening it to find that the envelope was addressed to:- "Mrs. [1732]" and directions for its use entirely different than what was suggested during my Reading.
Please advise me as to what I am to do about the above which is plainly an error, at your earliest convenience, as I am most anxious to get MY Appliance so as to begin using it as soon as possible.
Regards to you, and all the others.
Faithfully yours, [1728]

Mr. [1728] New York City
Dear Mr. [1728] We understand from Mr. Cayce that the instructions for using your battery were missent and that you received some one else's instructions.
We regret that the mistake occurred, and we are enclosing directions for the use of the battery sent you.
Hoping this will prove satisfactory,
Yours very truly, Sara C. Atkinson, Secretary CAYCE HOSPITAL

Dear Mr. Cayce:-
Have been following directions for the past two nights, relative to the Radio Active Appliance but can't get any sensation, or feeling, while it is in use. Shouldn't I feel, at least, a "tingling sensation"? Or doesn't the feeling, or sensation, manifest itself?
If you feel that I am missing something in the Appliance and want me to send it back, will you please wire me, at my expense, upon receipt of this note and I will send it to you, pronto.
Trust that you will understand the above. With regards to you, Mrs. Cayce & your Father and all the others, I am,
Faithfully yours, [1728]
4/18/30 EC's ltr. to Mr. [1728]: Mr. [1728] New York City
My dear Mr. [1728]
Replying to yours of the 11th, I should have written you sooner, but my father has been quite ill and it has required every bit of my time and attention for about two weeks. However, I will say regarding the battery - no, you would not be able to feel a tingling sensation, for the active force in this battery is the equalization OF the vibrations throughout your system. That is, the construction of same is of such a nature that when it is put IN the ice, it raises the temperature or lowers the temperature, as to RAISE the temperature in your body THROUGH the anatomical changes that take place. Continue the use of it for a little while. I'm SURE you will see the results.
Let me hear from you occasionally. With kindest personal regards, I am

Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Mr. Cayce:-
Thank you for your recent letter and for the information contained there-in.
Sorry to have heard of your Father's illness and trust that he is entirely recovered and will continue to enjoy the good health. I can realize the strain this illness put upon you.
Am still using the Radio Active Appliance but haven't anything to report, as yet.
Kindest personal regards to you, Mrs. Cayce, your Father and all the others.
Faithfully yours, [1728]
4/30/30 EC's ltr. to Mr. [1728]:
Mr. [1728] New York City
My dear Mr. [1728] I have yours of the 25th, and am very glad to say that my father is a great deal better. We feel he is now on the road to recovery.
We are hoping that before very long you will be feeling results from the use of the appliance. I'm sure, if you do not expect any, you won't get any. If you will be just a bit consistent and persistent, I'm sure it will help a whole lot.
Hoping to have a good report real soon, and with kindest personal regards, I am
Sincerely, [EC:GD]

Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Mr. Cayce:-
Thank you for your letter of the 30th. Glad to know that your Father is so much better and trust that he will be fully recovered ere this.
Sorry that you misunderstood my letter. I am not a "scoffer" and really have great faith in what my Reading revealed, especially, in view of the fact that I am seeing real results. I do not have the heavy spasmodic coughing spasms that formerly made me believe that I should choke to death, and I believe that by continuing the use of the appliance I shall soon be able to report complete recovery. The neuritis attacks are lesser in number and of less duration. I am fully convinced that having been to Virginia Beach and meeting you was an epochal event in my life and I shan't soon forget it.
I shall, shortly, send for a "Life Reading" knowing full well that what I shall receive, though it, will be most advantageous.
Trust that your health is good and with my kindest personal regards to you, Mrs. Cayce, your Father and all the others, believe me,
Faithfully yours, [1728]
5/06/30 Mr. [1728]'s ltr. to EC:
Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Va. Dear Mr. Cayce:-
Please find enclosed applications and check, for Life Reading, which I hope you may be able to give me real soon. I am so much better that, thought not CURED I am on the way to a rapid recovery of all my faculties of mind and body. I am continuing the nightly use of the appliance and will so continue until I am instructed, by you, to do otherwise.
My Mother & Sister are mightily interested and I am wondering whether they come under the head of SINGLE MEMBERS of MY FAMILY, both being widowed? Can they have Readings under my membership, as per the enclosed, or does the Association require that they become full members under one of the three classifications? Will you please drop me a line to their status?
I hope your Father has fully recovered and, please, convey to him my warm regards and well wishes.
Trust that you and Mrs. Cayce are enjoying the best of health.
Warm personal regards to both of you, and all the others.
Faithfully yours, [1728]

Mr. [1728] New York City
Dear Mr. [1728]
Replying to yours of the 2nd, I'm certainly glad to know that your visit to Virginia Beach has been of help. I certainly trust that you will continue on the improve, and that we may in some small measure be of assistance. Any time that we can possibly be of aid, don't hesitate to call on us. I'm sure a life reading would be most interesting, but would certainly like for you to be present when that is given.
I'm mighty glad to report that my father is still on the improve. He is up and about the hospital, and I hope will soon be his normal self.
Sincerely, [EC:GD]
5/13/30 EC's ltr. to Mr. [1728]:
Mr. [1728] New York City Dear Mr. [1728]
We are in receipt of your letter of recent date, enclosing check and application for a life reading. We are sending you a card on which you are to give us the necessary information for obtaining a life reading. I will have to say, however, that I can't tell you just how soon I will be able to get this - but I will just as soon as it is possible. We have about seventy-five applications for life readings on hand at present, and we average about two of these a month, so you can see how long it is going to take to catch up. We had to stop making appointments for those seeking to join just to obtain a reading, and are now giving our time to those at the hospital and those who are already enrolled as members and trying to catch up with those appointments already on hand. So we should, within the next sixty to ninety days, be somewhere near to catching up, unless there are a great many coming into the hospital for immediate attention. Of course, the hospital has to receive first consideration.
Sincerely, [EC:GD]

Dear Member:
Your Hospital is anxious that you obtain results from the application of suggestions made in your reading of March 25, 1930.
Kindly advise if you have followed all, or any part, of the suggestions given in your reading, and give us in detail the exact results you have obtained.
Through cooperation we can make this worth while. As reports are asked for, won't you help us help yourself?

Sara C. Atkinson, Sec'y Cayce Hospital Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Madam:-
I have your letter of May 26th re my reading. I have used the Radio Active Appliance faithfully since its arrival here and would report, as I have previously to Mr. Cayce, that my bronchial cough has lessened, that is to say, I don't have the spasms of coughing of such duration as formerly. Still cough considerably, but am much encouraged by the results so far obtained. There is one question I should like to have answered. When I use the appliance just before retiring, at night (which I have ever since I received it) it stimulates me and I am unable to go to sleep after using it. Couldn't I use it the first thing in the morning upon arising, with the same beneficial results as night?
Trusting the above is what you want to know, I am, with kind regards to all,
Faithfully yours, [1728]
6/05/30 Sara C. Atkinson's ltr. to Mr. [1728]:
Mr. [1728] New York City
Dear Member:
We have your letter of May 30th and are glad to know that you have improved.
In regard to your battery treatment, it would be best for you to have a check reading and ask about it. Write to Mr. Edgar Cayce and request a check reading.
If we can be of any further service to you, be sure to let us hear from you.
Sincerely, Sara C. Atkinson, Secretary CAYCE HOSPITAL
