TEXT

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:
EC: Yes - it's a brick house.
Yes. As we find, conditions are very serious. There should not be too great a stress put upon determining to hold this body in material manifestations. Not that the hope and trust in the divine is to be lessened. Rather should it be exercised the more in realizing, even with the material, what the handicaps would be. These should give rather the parents, those so close, the feeling of their interest, of their witness before the throne of grace and mercy.
There are physical disturbances that are a part of the entity's karma. They are for lessons for those responsible for the body, if ye will accept it. If ye let it harden thee, ye miss the opportunity of knowing that He is the resurrection, He is the truth and life.
Put thy child rather at all times into the arms of Jesus.
In the physical we would apply those conditions that may aid. As developments progress, let that which is of the divine determine whether it is best in this consciousness or in the universal consciousness that it is to serve.
The sarcoma through the body is in the blood stream. It may be kept localized by the application of Plaintain Salve. For this particular body, prepare it in this manner:
Gather the tender portions of the green Plantain Weed. Cut these with scissors or the like - a teacupful. Put this in an enamel container. Pour over same a teacupful (the same measurement) of sweet cream that rises on the top of milk - not butter, not too much milk in same. Let this come almost to a boil. When it begins to simmer, set aside - cool. Then apply this on a cloth that may be put over the chest, the whole lung area.
Across the back, between the shoulders, apply Glyco-Thymoline Packs - at least three thicknesses of flannel.
Let each of these remain at least an hour, or until they are thoroughly dried out. Apply these each day.
At least twice each week give the body the Ultra-Violet Light - Mercury Light only, not the Carbon Light - at least thirty-seven to forty inches from the body if the stand lamp is used, and project between the Ultra-Violet and the body the green light - a piece of green plate glass eight by ten inches in size, at least fourteen inches from the body. This may be put in a frame to hold it in position. Only give the treatment for a minute - preferably to the back, between the shoulders.
Then keep the body quiet. Keep in prayer, and let it ever be "Thy will, O God - thy will be done."
Then live it, not merely say it, but live it in the daily associations with others. "As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them."
We are through with this reading.

..., Alabama
Dear Mr. Cayce;
I just wanted to thank you again for the reading of little [3391]. He died about three weeks ago, but he died quietly and peacefully, without pain. His mother followed the directions carefully and the reading helped her to bear his passing. We are very grateful for your help.
If it is possible, please let me know when I can expect my life reading that I applied for December the first.
If I can ever be of service to the Association, please let me know. I will be so glad to serve you. Sincerely, [...]
