Edgar Cayce Readings, 3861-1

(Physical, Mental & Spiritual, with suggestions for improvement. Questions regarding these, and his mental and material affairs)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [3861] and those conditions physical, mental, material, as surround this body. Ready for questions.
(Q) Shall the body retain its interest in the National American Company?
(A) We would say, he should retain his interest in the National American Company; for, were one to analyze the conditions as surround these holdings, these - as we find - will, under those conditions that are bringing changes in same, be an interest worth retaining and made worth while.
(Q) Is John Dilliard a good association in this company?
(A) The activities of the body John Dilliard as respecting the holdings, or activities of the Company, have been put in a position - as to the activities of the body, other than that of a moral position, WOULD not mean success OR failure. While conditions have been such as to INDICATE this a fault, yet with changes as have been spoken of, these - as we find will NOT be a detrimental association.
(Q) Is he thoroughly honest in his dealings with this company and with this body?
(A) If he has NOT been, with the present situations AND conditions he MUST of NECESSITY be, and the activities of the body Dilliard are worth while to the best interests of the company.
(Q) Shall the body retain its interest and remain in the employ of the Realty Foundation?
(A) This should be considered from many different angles, as it has been in part. As a whole, would be well. Are there changes in the activities of the body in OTHER directions, as has been contemplated, might be better TO remain - but in OTHER directions that has been contemplated as changes, would not be so well. These must be decided by the body, as to which - or how the activities are carried on.
(Q) Shall the body retain its interest in the International Vitamin Company?
(A) This, as we find, WOULD be well to retain interest in same; for in analyzing the conditions there, the developments along the lines as have been set in motion will develop conditions that would make for a most interesting, as well as worth while holdings, and that invested IN same would be an hundredfold.
(Q) Are there any suggestions for improving this business?
(A) Many SUGGESTIONS might be made. These had best be more specific, as whether as to product, distribution, and the APPROACH to distribution would be considered. In the product itself, some MINOR changes. These, however, are being worked out in a satisfactory manner. The way or manner of PRESERVING the amount and the proper proportion of the vitamin in its form to be assimilated must be given MORE consideration; for vitamin - that elusive element - in its various forms, as has been classified and much spoken of from here - is an elusive element, especially some of those that ARE the more important ones; or NECESSARY elements UNDER CERTAIN conditions. A DIVISION of same IN its proper classification (that is, A, B, or C, or D, or C-2, or C1/2, F, F1/2, E or G, as may be the case), in the various formations may be classified, and the DISTRIBUTION of same through the laboratories that supply more to the physician, or would-be physician, in their various practices, would offer channels for some change and some suggestions may be made in these directions that would be GOOD, as WE would find - but MEET these AS they arise.
(Q) Should the body acquire more stock in this company, which could be favorably purchased at the present time?
(A) We WOULD!
(Q) Shall the body retain its interest in the Eclipse Fountain Pen Company, or withdraw its investment?
(A) Investment be well to hold until it is sold or combined with another, for the best interests; otherwise withdraw it, if they wouldn't agree to a combine that may be made with others!
(Q) What is the future of this company?
(A) We have just outlined, better to be combined - if there's to be a future! for the BEST interests!
(Q) Shall the body retain his son [...] in this company?
(A) May retain in the COMBINE - but we had better find a better combine!
(Q) Should this body be entrusted with the formula known as Ipsab, to market same and be of benefit to Edgar Cayce and his work?
(A) That the body ITSELF can BEST determine, by its interest or by its response TO that that HAS been or MAY be given TO the body. This - as those being tested - needs some development in the laboratory that makes for combination as a paste, as WELL as that for the pyorrhea remedy or cure; for it - Ipsab - IS a specific, as has been given, IN four out of five, instead of "four out of five have it", see? [See [1800] series re. Ipsab.]
(Q) Is there any physical ailments in connection with this body?
(A) There are those conditions that DISTURB the body, as with that of the locomotary forces and those centers from which these GIVE their incentives to the general system. These, as we find, would be best aided by the use of that of Radium Water - as is made in New York - see? that is, the water is treated by the active forces from same. This taken in a regular course would be most effective for this body. This aiding in the general debilitation as has come from much medication in various directions for the conditions in liver, spleen, and those of the organs as are affected by DEBILITATED forces.
(Q) Any other suggestions regarding the physical?
(A) Do that, and that will correct it! What does he want!
(Q) How should this Radium Water be taken?
(A) Drank!
(Q) Does the body have any sinus trouble?
(A) Did you ever see a time where Radium Water is given that they didn't have this? These come from the lymph activities, which are more effective in the soft tissues than most portions; though the condition arises not from the sinus themselves, but is from the stomach, or from that plexus in the LOCOMOTION that GIVES the activity to the soft tissue of the face, the throat, the nostrils, and must - sooner or later - have its effect upon the whole sympathetic nervous system, making for irritations to the general body, in that of becoming cross, irritated, easily unbalanced - and the body wouldn't like that at all!
(Q) What quantity of Radium Water?
(A) These are outlined by those who distribute the machines through which this is made.
That is all the questions.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

7/20/31 Mr. [279]'s letter to [3861] [dictated to GD]:
My dear Uncle [3861]
I am enclosing your copy of the reading. It was unusual in many respects. As a rule when the reading is taken with a combination of business and physical conditions, there is quite a bit said about the physical condition of the person. In your case, it asked for the questions right away without giving any physical condition. If you will remember, when you gave me the list of questions you did not ask a single one about your physical condition but did ask so many about these different business associations. I am certain, however, that if you take the Radium Water, as he suggested, you will be cured of any troubles you have been bothered with. I am very sorry I am not with you to explain this work to you, because I feel on the surface of things you might not appreciate just what this work is.
I had question number eleven asked of my own accord. This formula which has been given the name of Ipsab is the most marvellous cure for pyorrhea that has ever been heard of. It is not new, as Mr. Cayce got this formula in a reading about fifteen years ago. Several times people have wanted to put lots of money into this, but because arrangements were not satisfactory to Mr. Cayce he would not permit it. Now, I am certain, through my influence and my knowledge of what this work is doing, that you could get this formula and a controlling interest in the company for its production, and - strange as it may seem - it will not cost you any money. The arrangement will have to be that Mr. Cayce and his associates have a half interest, or something similar, in the company when organized. When I say that he has been offered a tremendous sum for the formula alone, I know what I am talking about. That is why I want you and Mr. [...] to come down here this week-end. I don't want you to think I am dreaming, but if you can't make several millions of dollars out of this formula by producing it, my name isn't [279] It is worth, at least, a hurried trip to Virginia Beach by you and Mr. [...] if you want Mr. [...] interested in this thing. I merely mention him because I know he is interested in the Vitamin Company with you.
Due to the many business questions you asked, you did not get as full detail regarding your physical condition as I imagine you would like. However, if you come down this week-end, I will promise to get you a physical reading while you are here, where you can see just what is done, and you can have the physical reading entirely - without any business questions. This I am willing to guarantee will give you full advice as to your physical condition.
Of necessity, in explaining these things, this has been a long letter. Please wire me when you are coming and I will make reservations for you at the Cavalier Hotel. If you can arrange to leave New York Friday night, you can be here early in the morning Saturday, and leave Sunday afternoon and be home Monday morning early.
With kindest regards, I am
Cordially yours,
7/24/31 See 3861-2.
