This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 27th day of June, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [3065], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by the book, THERE IS A RIVER. [He also knew EC and David E. Kahn years ago in Texas.]

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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3065]; this we have had before. [No record of earlier readings.]
3. As we find, there are a great many changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here. Not all of the changes are for the best, in the physical reactions.
4. These in the present have been rather of the acute nature. While there has been some general breaking down of resistances, there has also been builded up those constitutional conditions that in the present, and have been and are proving rather disturbing to the activities of the heart, the liver, and the general building up of resistances for the body.
5. As we find, in the beginnings of these, there were those tendencies for the building of a plethoric condition in the colon, that caused first the disturbance between the heart and the liver, and the lungs.
6. Thus we find a condition produced in the liver that contributed more and more to the condition in the colon. This gradually caused the circulation between heart, lungs and liver, to AFFECT that circulation between liver and kidneys.
7. The blood pressure, then, began to show the engorging of the heart, and the slowing of the circulation through those portions of body in the extremities. These cause the general breakdown that has been a part of the body's experience. This has left the resistances in the body very low, with the condition in the heart as a constitutional condition, and the aorta artery - or the flow of the blood too full.
8. Thus weakness. Thus the heaviness in the area of the heart, across the upper portion of the diaphragm area, or from the heart to the liver, from the lungs to the heart, from the heart AND liver to the kidneys. These take up, as it were, the blood supply.
9. Thus involvements in parts of the body forces.
10. These as we find will require, as they have required, careful nursing on the part of the body; as to its strength, as to its building up of its resistance; as to being mindful of diet, of habits, of the eliminations.
11. Then, to contribute the more to the administrations being made for the body, in the directions that they are being taken by the body in the present, - we would only add that there be some colonics given, very carefully.
12. But do have these, if the blood pressure would be kept down. And it will aid in relieving the toxic conditions in the body, also aid in the administrations being given of those properties to arouse or to aid in keeping the equilibrium in the heart's activity.
13. In the diet, to build better blood supply, we would take each day at least a teaspoonful of beef juice as medicine.
14. These done, we find we may add much more to the abilities of the body to build back to better resistance, and to keep the nearer normalcy (for it will not be perfectly normal again) in heart's activity, in blood pressure, and in the resistances being builded in body.
15. Ready for questions.
16. Do these things, and keep the mental attitude constructive in thinking, in spiritual, in mental, in material; and we will find the outlook upon the experiences of life better.
17. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 9/20/46 Letter from E. O. Brown, David E. Kahn's secretary:
   "...Col. [3065] has been in the hospital for 4 months, and he called Mr. Kahn yesterday to come up to see him. The doctors do not know what is wrong with him. It seems he did not know that Mr. Cayce had passed away and probably thought he could get a Reading. He had a Reading about 2 years ago at Atlanta. It might be that this Reading would offer some suggestions for his present condition. And, if you had the time perhaps you could bring it up and go over it with him and maybe get more out of it than Mr. Kahn could. He is a very rich man and he might be able to help you solve some of your monetary problems..."
2. 9/24/46 GD's note: Two copies of Reading given to HLC.
