This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia beach, Va., this 25th day of March, 1944, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [3903], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. (Notes read to and transcribed by Jeanette Fitch.)

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
2. As we find, conditions are serious. While there is the consciousness that pertains to body, mind and soul, this entity should make its peace with that the entity holds as its ideal. For with those conditions that have existed, and do exist, there must come gradually those dissociations of ideas and ideals. For as the pressure increases upon the brain, from the growths there, the reflexes and the abilities for the body to control or to use its extremities will gradually diminish.
3. The time has passed when these accumulations could have been removed by operative measures without scar tissue being of such a nature as to leave the body still without control of its activity in the nerves of the locomotories, or the voluntary reactions.
4. These might be undertaken in the present if such an one as Murphy of Chicago operated upon the brain. This still might be removed and gradually with the use of electrical forces after the healing, disintegration of accumulations in other portions of the body be disseminated or so dissolved as to be eliminated.
5. It is best first that the body, though, make its peace with its higher self and its Maker.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Should I avoid exercise because of it?
   (A) The avoiding of exercise, to be sure, insures longer or more lingering as to the conditions.
   We would either give way entirely to operative measures or to the spiritual unfoldment.
8. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 9/28/43 She submitted questions, saying: "Complete hysterectomy operation 2 yrs. ago. Eight months later had severe convulsions - found thru x-rays had calcium deposits on left side of skull. Doctors undecided whether to operate because of possible loss of memory or other faculties afterward. After leaving hospital improved for time but have now begun to have queer sensations in head and back with an accompany humming sensation on left side of head. Extremely nervous - must take dope to remain relaxed. Is present condition caused by the hysterectomy and will it gradually go away, or due to the calcium deposits & may get worse; whether to have operation or leave it alone & take things as they come."
   Did calcium deposits on brain cause paralysis as a child? If not, what did? What cause the calcium to form? Should the calcium deposits be removed or be left alone? If removed, would it leave me abnormal, as feared by some doctors? Were the calcium deposits responsible for convulsions last year, or the operation 2 yrs. ago responsible? What can be done to help my nerves - will they ever be normal again? Am I growing another tumor? Is the irregularity in heart dangerous? Should I avoid exercise because of it? Is a normal sex life injurious to my health or not? Any further advice?
