Edgar Cayce Readings, 2253-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions that surround the body, [2253]. Now, we find there are disturbing conditions in the physical forces of the body. These have to do with some structural positions, as well as those of undevelopment or undeveloped conditions in the physical forces; these affecting directly the sensory organism, especially the auditory forces, as well as those of the central nerve system.
The conditions, as we find, may be MATERIALLY aided in such a way and manner as to not only remove much of the pressure, as PREVENTS the reaction, but that in the developments of those portions that have been cut off there may be made those closer coordinations in the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal nerve impulses, as to make for an awakening of reaction in the sensory system, as well as the mental and physical responses in these directions.
The pressures, as we find, exist principally in those of the sacral, the lower dorsal, and the WHOLE of the cervical areas. These are especially seen in the 4th LUMBAR plexus, that prevents coordination in the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal impulses; while those of the central or lower dorsal, sympathetically with the upper or 4th and 5th dorsal, prevent those impulses to the central nerve force as to cause any reaction in this direction, and little or no response is seen in that of a refractory reaction, save as comes through impulses in the imaginative nerve forces of the body. Hence those tendencies of the body to be over sensitive to certain vibrations that may be set up, without the proper coordinating even to BRAIN impulses as to WHAT the reaction SHOULD be. Hence often the body responds in a manner as apparently directly opposite from that as would be, or should be, expected from voluntary or involuntary refractory, or refraction.
In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions - while the care and the attention that HAS been given is well, but for the correction there should be those adjustments osteopathically made that would RELIEVE these pressures along the cerebro-spinal system, and AS they are removed we would add those elements in the system as will make for a reaction in NERVE impulses. As we see, the nerve system, or nerve matter itself, is made up of vibrations from the system in its resuscitating or building forces. These, as we find, may be had from the use of those compounds in the Mayblossom WITH those of the Ginseng, as will STIMULATE those impulses of the body. These will also make for a better coordination in refraction and refractory reactions in, or between cerebro-spinal and sympathetic system.
Those centers, then, that need the adjustments, will be found in those regions in lumbar, in the upper dorsal AND cervical, that make for closer connection between the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic plexus.
We would also add those vibrations, at least as the body rests, from the Radio-Active Appliance, that make for coordination in the extremities of the system. The plain battery charge should be used.
Well, too, that occasionally (and as sincere as this is made is the response to be expected or had), as the body sinks into sleep or unconsciousness, that those suggestions of a positive nature be given to the subconscious forces of the body. Do that.
Those connections in the manipulative forces may be made that will be most satisfactory. Later we will use a change IN the applications of a changed electric vibratory rate for the body. Ready for questions.
(Q) What should be the dosage of the Mayblossom Bitters, and how should the Ginseng be added - in what quantity?
(A) These have been outlined, as to the preparation. As to the dosage in this particular case, we would give morning AND evening a half teaspoonful in little water or plain. As the body is ready for rest, and as the body - before it takes up its activities - these would be given, see?
(Q) If there is an osteopath near Rosehill that will be cooperative, please name.
(A) Media. Blair or Blaine (?).
(Q) Please give name and address.
(A) As given. Media - Blair - Blaine (?).
(Q) Why does she not talk?
(A) This reaction, or refractory reaction in system, prevents the contraction in the muscular forces that have to do with the plexus from the secondary cardiac to the central nerve system. This is directly to the vocal box. In the corrections in the 3rd and 4th dorsal, and the 2nd and 3rd cervical, this will be stimulated, see? as will necessary later to stimulate along the eustachian tube for the reaction there, see? This NOT in the beginning. The manipulations we would make at least three times each week, and ONE of the treatments and ADJUSTMENT treatment - the other the drainages set up and the muscular forces and tendons so relaxed as to make for the feeding out or building up of nerve impulses as between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal system.
(Q) Why does she wring her hands?
(A) Nervous reaction. When these come, there is some form of expression - and in the attempt to find an outlet for that INNATELY felt, the lack of knowing WHAT to do - see?
(Q) Will she ever be able to understand and carry out a spoken suggestion?
(A) She will, if these ar carried out as has been outlined. In thirty to sixty days we would give those changes that have about; that is, after these are begun, see? Then we would carry on.
(Q) Should glandular treatment be continued?
(A) Overtaxing the heart without giving the proper reaction.
(Q) Where will the first improvement be noticed?
(A) The gradual relaxation, and NOT so nervous.
(Q) Is her brain alright, or just dormant?
(A) Just dormant.
(Q) Any other suggestion or advice regarding this body?
(A) There's plenty given here to be done! If we will do that in a consistent manner we will see results in this case. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

2/11/31 A. M. Pope ltr. to EC:
ROSEHILL SCHOOL CHESTER HEIGHTS, PA.
Mr. Edgar Cayce, Virginia Beach, Va.,
My dear Mr. Cayce,
For sometime I have been very interested in the work you are doing because I have been studying along the lines of Spiritual healing and in this school there are so many children that need help in that way. There is one little girl in particular that I would like to have you help. Will you write me if you could give a reading for her and how soon?
Hoping to receive a letter about this, I am,
Sincerely yours, [signed] (Mrs.) Anne M. Pope
[Handwritten on bottom of letter: Mrs. [959] [mother of [146]], told me about you.]
3/05/31 "I am making this application for one of my little girls, [2253], who is eight years old and has been here with me for four years."
3/11/31 See 2253-1, for which Mrs. [959] was present.

REPORTS

3/24/31 Mrs. Pope witnessed a reading for another of her pupils, [5483].
4/06/31 A. M. Pope's ltr. to EC:
ROSEHILL SCHOOL CHESTER HEIGHTS, PA.
Dear Mr. Cayce,
It has been a wonderful revelation to me of the work the Spirit is doing through you and that you are fitted to do this and giving your life to it. I am so glad that I had the privilege and the opportunity to hear a reading. It "lifted me high above the pitfalls of my human destiny" and gave me a glimpse of this world as our Father would have it.
Mrs. [959] wrote that she would have another reading for [146] about the 18th. of May and I would be glad to have a check reading for [2253] on the same day if possible as she wants to be there. I will enclose check for ten dollars.
Dr. Kirk [Elisha T. Kirk, D.O.] is the only osteopath I could get in Media and I tried to find a Blair or Blane even in Philadelphia and could not. This man is giving [2253] the treatments as near as he can understand them and is much in sympathy with your work as he wrote to the doctors from the list you gave me and has had such satisfactory answers. I suppose he has already written to you. We do not understand this paragraph in [2253]'s reading "We would also add those vibrations, at least as the body rests, from the Radio-Active appliance, that [2253-1, Par. 6] make for coordination in the extremities of the system, plain battery charge should be used." I thought Dr. Kirk was giving these until I asked and found he did not understand what was to be given. Could you write me what is to be done?
With all best wishes to you and those associated with you, I am,
Sincerely, [signed] (Mrs.) Anne M. Pope
4/11/31 Dr. Kirk's letter: "[2253] seems to be responding slowly to treatment."
4/13/31 EC's letter to Mrs. Pope:
Mrs. A. M. Pope, Rosehill School, Chester Heights, Pa.
My dear Mrs. Pope:- Many thanks for yours of the 6th. We are making the appointments for [2253] and [146] on the afternoon of Monday, May 18th, between the hours of 3:00 and 5:00 o'clock, Eastern Standard Time. If they are not here, it will be necessary - as you know - for us to have the exact location of each during the time set.
I have had some correspondence with Dr. Kirk. I believe you have the proper connection for the carrying out of the suggestions, and I am sure there will be results.
Regarding the Radio-Active Appliance - that is a little battery which has been made through directions given in the readings, and can of course only be obtained through these channels. We will be glad to have this made for you, and will be glad to send it to you so that you can have Dr. Kirk carry out th suggestions with it. This battery, however, may be applied at home - and I'm sure you could look after this much better than attempting to have the battery used in the doctor's office. Full instructions will be with it, as to how and when it should be applied. I feel that this will be a great help in the furtherance of the applications being made. I'm sure Dr. Kirk will be able to see definite results. I hope that you are already seeing some results with [2253].
We have been trying to get the materials together for the battery for [5483]. We didn't have any on hand, except at the hospital - and of course we couldn't use them. We have ordered the material needed, and should be able to send this in the near future. It will be very much better to have the treatments from THIS battery for [5483] under the Doctor's directions. All the directions will be sent to you and may be gone over by Dr. Kirk. I will write to him at the same time, giving full instructions as to how it is to be applied, what may be expected from it, and anything about it of which he should be warned.
Thanking you again for your letter, and trusting that we have been and may be of service to you, I am
Sincerely, [EC:GD]
4/21/31 Mrs. Pope's letter to EC:
Rosehill School Chester Heights, Pa.
Dear Mr. Cayce,
In a letter from Mrs. [959] she wrote that she could not get to Virginia Beach until Tuesday the 19th. As I would like her to be there for [2253]'s and have it the same day that you give the reading for [146] will you arrange it for the same afternoon? Either on Monday or Tuesday the 18th or 19th. The children will be in their rooms, [2253] is here and [146] in his between 3 and five during the time of the reading of which ever afternoon it is to be.
I was delighted when Dr. Kirk told me that he was going to see you this week-end and I will give him the readings of [2253] and [5483] to take with him and he can ask you anything that he does not understand. He will have so much to ask you I am sure.
[146] seems to be improving and so is [2253]. Of course we cannot set a time limit on this treatment as there is no time or space in Spirit and what seems long to us may be only the twinkling of an eye. We will be patient and know that all things work together for good. We are grateful for the great privilege of knowing of this work.
May God bless you and all whom you love always is the wish of
Yours sincerely, [signed] (Mrs.) Anne Pope
4/29/31 EC's letter to Mrs. Pope:
Mrs. A. M. Pope, Rosehill School Chester Heights, Penna.
My dear Mrs. Pope:-
We have yours of the 21st, and we are changing to appointment for [2253]'s reading to the 19th so as to be in line with the one for [146].
Dr. Kirk was here Monday. We certainly enjoyed his visit very much indeed. He impressed me as being a sincere, whole-hearted individual, one not only capable but practical and sincerely desiring to be of aid and help to others. I feel very sure that you will have a wonderful assistant in Dr. Kirk.
The appliance has just been completed for Miss [5483], and we are expressing it directly to Dr. Kirk. I went over this matter with him, and I think he thoroughly understands the use of the appliance. She would have this treatment twice a week at his office. We will keep in touch with him from time to time, for I feel that we will have his hearty cooperation throughout.
I am certainly pleased to know that both you and Dr. Kirk are seeing improvement in [2253]'s condition. I have felt all along that [146] was improving. It IS hard for us to set a time limit, for we attempt to judge spiritual things with our little finite minds.
Hoping to hear from you from time to time, thanking you for your letter, and with kindest personal regards, I am
Sincerely, [EC:GD]
4/30/31 Dr. Elisha T. Kirk's letter: "Mrs. Pope was in this afternoon with [2253] and she feels very much encouraged about the girl."
5/11/31 EC's letter to Mrs. Pope:
Mrs. A. M. Pope, Rosehill School Chester Heights, Penna.
Dear Mrs. Pope:-
Dr. Kirk reminded me in his letter of the 3rd that there was to be an appliance for [2253]. This has not been made for the reason that there has not been a suggestion from you that we have this made up. Possibly it would be well to wait now until after the check reading on the 19th, and see just whether it is necessary.
Sincerely, [EC:GD]
5/19/31 See 2253-2.
