Edgar Cayce Readings, 3759-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body, [3759]. Now, we find the conditions disturb the equilibrium between the physical and mental of this body is not wholly physical nor wholly psychological; for the pathological and psychological are as one, when coordinating properly in the system, especially as related to the effect of the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal with the impulse as are carried to the brain center for its distribution as coordinated with the physical reactions. While these conditions are gradually on the improve in some respects, we do not find them wholly coordinating - but without some material change as would bring the reaction sufficient so that we had coordination between the sympathetic and psychopathic influence with the brain's reaction, there must still remain some distortions to the mental reaction of the body. These conditions, WE find, are of that nature that the glands in system have to do with the regeneration or gentative system as it coordinates with those of the sympathetic, through the activities of the pineal gland - NOT wholly at the base of brain, but rather that as a thread runs through the system to the organs of the body, these pressures in the end are the PHYSICAL results of not wholly accidents, yet accidents from the system's taking on conditions that come from the reaction through the body in embryo. In the effect, then, is to produce over activity in some directions and under development in other directions, in the mental abortions [aberrations?] of the mind.
In meeting the conditions under the present existing forces, will - as we find - bring bettered condition, as given, in some respects, but not a normal reaction. Were properties added to the system that would carry into the system those elements that would create such vibrations as to destroy this impairment between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal - as receives its impulses in centers radiating from the activity of the glands in the organs of gentation, as the impulses through the solar plexus, lower lumbar plexus, secondary cardiac plexus - were these so that the IMPULSES of the whole system builded to that condition where these were added in the system, WE do not find cause why - physically and MENTALLY - the body should not respond.
We would - if changed, then - use those properties in the medicinal manner as come from the vibrations of that known or called May Blossom Bitters. Necessary that the dosage be changed. Also those vibrations should be carried in the system of the wet battery carrying GOLD - charged - suspended in same, attaching the nickel anode to the umbilicus; that is, the last one. The other to the base of the brain. These will be hard to change. It will require time, patience - yet, with the proper reaction set about, this could be brought to near normal. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

8/18/29 Mr. [202]'s letter:
Mr. Edgar Cayce 35th St. Virginia Beach, Va.
My dear friend:
Enclosed find check for $20.00 in payment of membership dues and a physical reading for Mr. [...], ... Building, Washington, D.C.
Please book his wife, Mrs. [3759], Waverly Sanitarium, near Rockville, Md., for a physical reading as soon as possible.
Send the announcement of the date for physical reading to Mr. [[...] [her husband]]'s care of his Washington address. His wife is in such a state that he does not wish the announcement to come to her, as he wishes to manipulate this matter himself. Try and make the reading in the morning, as this party usually goes out in the afternoon.
Mr. [...] will most likely be to see you this Labor Day. If possible, keep that date open to give him a personal reading. In case this is not a possibility, please notify him to be present at one of the readings while he is at Virginia Beach.
If we can interest Mr. [...] in this work, we will enlist the services not only of a very brilliant man, but one who can do us a lot of good.
I expect to remain here until the first of September and then drive home by way of New York.
With kindest regards to you and all the rest of my friends at Virginia Beach, I remain,
Very truly yours, [202]
The enclosed check is for a physical for Mrs. [3759] - if he gets a reading while in Virginia Beach he will pay while there.
10/02/29 Husband's wire verifying sanitarium address for appointment: "Under doctor's order, because of nervous condition, I hold no communication with her."

REPORTS

11/18/29 Husband's letter:
Cayce Hospital, Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Mr. Casey:
Replying to yours of the 16th, please be advised that there is no appreciable result in the case of my wife. None of the suggestions made have been conveyed to her because as explained in my telegram of the second of Oct. her nervous condition is such as to make it impossible.
Regretting that I have no better news to give you, believe me,
Yours very truly, [...]
