Edgar Cayce Readings, 3906-1

Time and Place: 3:50 to 4:00 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Florida.

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, we have the body here.
Here we have truly a pathological condition but a psychological as well as the physiological, and it extends to karmic reactions also. For one doesn't press the life out of others without at times seeming to have same pressed out of self.
If these disturbances are corrected pathologically in the early developing years, so that those pressures apparent in the areas from the 9th dorsal to the 1st cervical are corrected, we may allay oft those bronchial-asthmatic reactions that take the life and breath from the body.
The administration of other things outside are palliatives and will only bring about or create conditions that will not change.
Of course the hypodermics that may be given for such will relieve but will only produce stricture that would make for greater and greater disturbance as the body grows older.
It may be corrected osteopathically, it may require even six years - and a week's treatment out of each month during the whole six years, but it would be worth it for the body; provided the spiritual attitude of those responsible for the body, as well as the body, is set in that way of knowing the sources of forgiveness. For who can forgive sins save those against whom they are committed? And when one sins, the sin is against the giver of life, God.
Ready for questions.
We are through with this reading.
Two copies to Mother (one for the osteopath - Please let us have the name and address of the one you choose.)

BACKGROUND

12/02/43 Mother's letter to EC:
..., Florida
Mr. Edgar Cayce, Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Mr. Cayce,
Thank you very much for your letter of November 24th and for the pamphlet "Edgar Cayce, His Life and His Work", which we have just received.
Both my husband and myself have read the book with great interest and we feel that we would like to go further into the matter.
As we wrote in our original letter, our son, [3906] has been ill with Asthma since he was three years of age. He is now past twelve and after a year of comparative freedom from attack he has suffered a relapse of great severity culminating in the present attack which is now in its sixth week.
If thru your powers you would be able to be of some assistance to him, we would be eternally grateful.
Enclosed please find a check for $20.00 for an Associate Membership in the Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., with an application for a reading for [3906]. We can understand thoroughly that, with the type of work you do, your appointments must be terribly piled up. However, we feel that this case has an emergency aspect to it, and we would appreciate anything you can do to expedite a reading.
Very truly yours, Mrs. [...]
12/06/43 EC's letter to [3906]'s mother:
Mrs. [...] ..., Fla.
Dear Mrs. [...]
I have yours of the 2nd, enclosing application for membership and request for reading for [3609]. I know just how anxious you can be and I know just how aggravating such conditions can be for a young man. I hope we can help. The first possible period we find is the afternoon of february 8, 3:30 to 4:30 EWT. I do hope that this little delay will not be to your great disadvantage, and that we may indeed be the means of a real help. If you accept this period a few days before the time, you will be sure to let us hear from you, giving us the exact address at which he will be at the hour. Also keep the period in prayer and meditation, and let us have a list of questions you would like to have asked at the time.
Thanking you, I am
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC/vw
12/15/43 Mother's letter to EC:
..., Florida
Mr. Edgar Cayce, Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Mr. Cayce,
Thank you for your response to our letter of application. You state that February 8 at 3.30 P.M. is the first available time for a reading for [3906].
You will recall that I spoke with you on the long distance telephone some days back and at that time you said that you would get the reading in if possible around the first of the year. I hope you will be able to do this as [3906] is quite ill and we do not know hat to do for him.
[3906] will be at this address during that period and the only question we want answered is what to do for him to get him out of the persistent Asthma attacks and set him on the road to health so that he can be a normal kid along with the other kids instead of having to spend his days in bed.
Thank you for any help you may afford him.
Very truly yours, Mrs. [...]
2/04/44 EC's letter to [3906]'s mother:
Mrs. [...] ..., Florida
Dear Mrs. [...]
I had an appointment for your son for the afternoon of February 8. Owing to circumstances of which we have no control, I am having to put this appointment off for a few weeks. It will be the afternoon of March 20, 3:30 to 4:30 E.W.T. I am just having to take a little rest. Be sure to let us know where the young man will be and give us a history of the case. Prepare a list of questions to be asked at the time of the reading.
I do hope that we can help. Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:mpw
3/05/44 Mother's letter to EC:
..., Florida
Mr. Edgar Cayce, Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Mr. Cayce,
I am writing to remind you that we have a reading scheduled with you at 3.30 p.m. on March 20th.
We are very worried about [3906]'s condition and hope that you will be able to have the reading at the scheduled time.
[3906] has suffered from Asthma since he was 3 1/2 years of age. He is now twelve and will be thirteen in September. We have tried many cures but none of them have given more than temporary relief.
We sincerely hop that you will be able to help this boy so that he can live a normal life. Thank you for your effort.
Very truly yours, [...]

REPORTS

5/15/47 [3906]'s mother's letter:
Mrs. [...] ..., Florida
Association For Research and Enlightenment, Virginia Beach, Virginia
Gentlemen:
We were fortunate in obtaining a reading from Mr. Cayce on Feb. 8, 1943 for our son [3906]. We have misplaced that reading and are anxious to have it again. Is it possible to obtain a copy of the reading. If there is a charge for such a copy please advise and we will send it to you. I would very much appreciate the copy by return mail.
We are also very much interested in knowing what your association is doing with regard to this work. Would you advise us on this point as well.
Thank you again.
Sincerely, [...]
5/22/47 HLC's ltr. to [3906]'s mother:
Dear Mrs. [...]
We have your letter of May 15th and were delighted to hear from you. Mail which we addressed to you at 129 N.E. 45th Street was returned to us and we did not know how to reach you.
The work is going forward under the Association and we are sending you, under separate cover, some data regarding our present activities, including sample copies of our periodicals and our publication list and membership form.
I read your son's reading with considerable interest. I hope you will give us a report on his present condition and also let us know if you followed through on any of the treatments which were recommended.
I am glad to be able to tell you that Dr. D. A. Musselman, General Clinical Laboratory, 300 N.E. 27th Street, Miami, Fla., who has handled several cases on whom readings were given, would be sympathetic in following the treatments suggested.
We are holding our annual Congress, June 23rd through the 28th. Several doctors who have had considerable experience with the work will be present and I believe you would enjoy this series of meetings. One of our recent bulletins gives an outline of this program, and at a later date, we will mail you a more detailed Congress program. Either during this period, or at some later date, I hope it will be possible for you to visit us at the headquarters and see just what we are undertaking in studying and carrying forward the work which my father began.
A copy of your son's reading is enclosed.
Sincerely, Hugh Lynn Cayce HLC/dm Encl.
Mr. & Mrs. [...] visited us 10/21/47; talked with HL; said they hadn't followed the rdg. till recently but their son's attacks have stopped; they're very much interested in entire work of Ass'n - plan to come to Congress next year.
7/30/50 Report by friends of parents, Mr. & Mrs. [...] who visited Hdqtrs. & heard Harmon Bro lecture today: "In 1946 [3906] was sent to school in Arizona, on advice of physician, as climate would be beneficial to his asthmatic condition. Subsequently, during vacation in Fla. complained of discomfort in back; parents took him to osteopath who described some malalignment which apparently coincided with EC reading. O.t. were taken which did some good to extent that his asthmatic attacks were cured to extent that he returned to Fla. to live with parents - not necessary for Arizona climate any more."
[Mr. & Mrs. [...] said [3906]'s mother is quite psychic, using palmistry as means to help people. They said they would get from her more details, name of D.O. for me, etc. GD]
