But, if there will be measures taken to correct these
conditions, and thus in the main the attitude of the
individual, the body itself, turn to those things that are of
the spirit creative, we will help. In those periods of its
physical and mental reactions when near normal, let the
entity manifest gentleness, kindness, longsuffering,
brotherly love, patience, fellowship, and the like. In the
beginning, to be sure, these are as but attitudes of mind to
the individual, and may be expressed in the purpose of the
entity, as in "This I do." And yet in the practical
application of this we find very little of the true spiritual
concept in the body-mind of the entity.
Hence, these should be made to become realities in the
activity of self, in such a way that there are the reactions
to the minds of those with whom the entity comes in contact;
that may bring not merely pity, but that real desire and
hope, and hope expressed by a material manifestation of
desiring to do something - in the way of supplying the little
conveniences, the little niceties to make life easier for the
body. Not in self-indulgence, no. Not in self-indulgence in
appetite or in the gratifying of appetites alone, but in the
spiritual aspirations, spiritual desires, spiritual purposes,
as to lend the self in a coordinated group of individuals for
the betterment of general conditions of individuals thus
afflicted.
Then we would have also, physically, these things applied:
Necessarily, from the tautness that often recurs in the
periods of congestion and the temporary convulsions that come
to various portions of the body consciousness, there are
segments throughout the body forces that cause incoordination
between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nervous system.
These need physical corrections, which should be made
osteopathically. Not merely in a manner as adjustments
chiropractically that might make sudden changes, but those
more on the order of the neuropathic or osteopathic
treatments that follow the nerve ends, and in those areas
from the fifth and sixth dorsal to the first cervical.
Stimulate these to reaction; that is, relaxing each center,
each ganglion, by the massage and adjustment treatment. This
done once a week should be sufficient.
Following this treatment we would use a low form of the
sinusoidal ray. This builds and discharges into the various
portions of the body. We find that this would react from the
upper or the cardiac portion of the stomach to the gall duct,
or the lacteal duct center. This should be given for about
two or two and a half minutes.
These should be kept up for ten weeks.
Then, after the tenth treatment or tenth week have the
correction by suggestion in subjugating the conscious mind,
so that the reactions will be sustained by the post
suggestions in such a state to the body that the response may
be the greater to the manipulations osteopathically given
from then on.
It may be necessary that this be repeated every month or so.
All making such applications should work in conjunction with
the greater creative forces for the body of [
3133].
In the matter of the activities and the diet: Let the
activities be in that way of helpful forces; not pitying self
nor seeking or asking pity of others, but cooperative forces
as for creative energies; that is, helpful influences in the
lives of self and others to aid in creating a better body and
mind for the activity of the soul-forces of this body.
Keep away from sweets. Keep away from white breads. Do have
sea-foods often. Do have raw vegetables and fruits often;
not the small fruits (such as berries, cherries, etc.) but
cooked apples and cooked pears (not either of these raw).
But peaches may be taken raw for these will soon be in season
and the very form of this fruit as well as plums and all such
would be well for the body, to aid in better eliminations.
Do these and we should find better conditions for this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What will help the frequent extreme nervousness?
(A) Apply ice to the base of the brain.
(Q) Who would be suggested to give the hypnosis treatments?
(A) Any good hypnotist; as Kuhn or Garrett. Either of these
will do very well. And the corrective measures
osteopathically should also be made by one in sympathy with
these suggestions for better forces of the body. These may
be made by one with whom the body is acquainted who desires
to help, if the attempt is made to do these properly as
suggested.
Do these things and these offer the greater opportunities for
help. To be sure it's up to the body itself in its purpose
and its desire. Does it want to be rid of these, or does it
hold to the other side?
(Q) Any spiritual advice?
(A) Let thy spirit bear witness with His spirit.
We are through with this reading.

(7/17/43 GD's note: Let us know the name of the osteopath or
neuropath you choose. We would advise that he give these
treatments under the supervision, or after having talked with
Dr. George N. Coulter, 18 East 41st St., N.Y.C., who has had
experience with following Mr. Cayce's readings. When the
hypnosis is to begin we suggest that you take your reading to
Dr. Leslie Kuhn or Dr. Thomas L. Garrett, 103 Park Ave.,
N.Y.C.)
BACKGROUND
3/22/43 [
3133]'s letter: "The first Case History recorded in
the book [There Is A River] so closely parallels my own life
as to make me rather impatient to correspond with you.
"Your first case history tells of a Catholic Missionary
Priest [
2019]. When I was 12 yrs. old that is exactly what I
started out to be. After studying for a short time I
suffered my first attack of epilepsy. I continued to study
for 3 yrs. until the attacks forced me to discontinue what
was to me at that time the most important thing in life.
"I am now 31 yrs. of age and am still afflicted with these
spells, they are not quite as frequent now, but still persist
on an average of 4 or 5 times a year. I also suffer from a
continuous nervous condition."
4/06/43 Letter indicated he barely made $20 a week.
4/18/43 [
3133]'s letter to EC:
"Your most kind and generous letter reached me this past week
and I want to thank you very, very, much for your kindness in
allowing me to have a reading free of charge. Your goodness
makes me feel very humble indeed and I find it very hard to
put into words how much I appreciate this great favor.
"I have given your letters much thought and I assure you Mr.
Cayce your reading means a great deal to me and that I will
have it carried out by a capable physician.
"I have filled out the blank in the booklet you sent and am
inclosing it herein.
"I am deeply grateful to you Mr. Cayce and you can be sure I
won't forget you in my prayers."
7/08/43 He submitted the following questions:
(1) What is physically or mentally wrong with my body?
(2) What is the cause of my sickness? Can it be cured, and
if so how?
(3) What causes, and what should be done to correct, frequent
extreme nervousness - in addition to attacks of epilepsy -
apparent in my speech and nervous excitement, which is most
evident on arising in the morning?
(4) Any spiritual advice?
REPORTS
7/17/43 EC gave this physical reading - 3133-1 - and we never
heard from him again.
7/60 In Dr. W. N. Pahnke's breakdown of 96 cases of epilepsy
from the Edgar Cayce records, Case [
3133] was classified in
Group II.
