This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 25th day of July, 1940, in accordance with request made by the husband - Mr. [...], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [5417].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.

TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, the sources of the physical disturbances are generally understood.
4. As to the deeper causes, and the attitude of the body toward the applications, - this is at present almost unanswerable; though, as we find, there may be methods used that will make the applications for the physical well-being much more in keeping with harmonious, healthful forces, and greater improvements for the body. We refer to induced self-analysis in connection with those low electrical vibrations of the galvanic nature that would be administered by those who give such, and which are a part of their treatments for such conditions.
5. Then, in connection with these, we would have the subjugation and the self-analysis as through Kahn or Garrett - or these combined.
6. For, the greater hindrances as we find lie WITHIN the attitude of the body; and without such an aid, little might be done - until some change in some manner is wrought in the attitudes. For, while there is the general depletion of the abilities for activity in some directions, these should ordinarily respond to those physical applications made. Hence this attitude MUST be changed!
7. Then, we would give that through the offices of such as Kahn and Garrett, or these combined, this may be accomplished.
8. That we would do.
9. Ready for questions.
10. We are through for the present.

    Two copies to Mr. Lee (one to be given to Dr. Thomas L.
    Copy to Ass'n file Garrett and his assistant Dr. Kahn (?) [L. Kuhn?] psychiatrists, 1225 Park Avenue, New York City)
    (At your convenience please let us have a history of your case to the time of obtaining the Reading, so we may have something with which to compare our information.)
