TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now in this body we find one that would be very interesting from the psychological standpoint. Those of the abnormal conditions, pathologically, are rather hidden, hence the minutia that will be necessary in giving the conditions as found in this body and the physical manifestions of the body, for they have to do with the psychological portion of the life of this body and the effect is to the nerve system and systems in their action in the body and the effect as shown to the various functioning organs of the system - the organic conditions of some functional troubles rather than of organic condition of the sensory organism, which again we find comes to be psychological in its effect rather than pathological, though produced pathologically in the body, see.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4108], we are speaking of, here in this room: In the blood supply in the body, this we find very good, though in some of the organisms, see, the blood has through the effect produced in the organs become abnormally beset with the local or specific conditions, yet the elemental forces of the blood supply are good and above the normal in its ability to function in the correct capacity, hence the fast recuperative forces as manifested in the body from time to time, see.
3. In the nerve system we find the effect of conditions in the body has to do with the spiritual, mental and physical phases of the entity itself; hence there arises conditions that are apparently set as past marks for the body, and its mode of control of the physical is guided by those conditions that arise in the body. This condition we find is manifested in the condition that arises in the sensory organism, and as that shown in the locomotory conditions of the body, and gives physical manifestation of conditions when the real seat of the trouble lies deep hidden in the spiritual forces of the body, see. The body has been under many strong, heavy nerve strains and the reactions from these become, as we have, from the good physical condition of the life renewing physical force, very quick to react, yet the marks of these conditions show in the nerve systems and the entity builds rather than allows them to overcome it, see.
4. In the physical action of the organs of the body, these conditions we find: In the brain forces themselves, we find the same condition existing as is shown throughout the nerve portion of the body. The lungs, larynx and the throat we find very good, yet some strain to the larynx at times. The organs of the sensory system show the effect of the high tension under which the body has labored from time to time and the condition of the blood supplying forces gives rise to the conditions such as we find in the eyes themselves, as well as the organs of speech and hearing, see. In the digestive tract the body is very good for the mental forces have often governed the desire as created in the system at times. (See, it has not always been as good as it is now.) Through the hepatic circulation we find the strain at times tells on the emunctory functioning of the liver, raising then the high hepatic circulation and overtaxes the kidneys in their functioning, hence the effect that stimuli produce over the system and the blood then carries in the circulation that which in times professes their manifested action in the nerve and ligament centers over the system.
5. To give the renewed energy and forces to the body, we would take this into the system: (This is physical reaction and much must by produced by the study of forces and self and their relations to other individuals, see. Then this:)

   Gum Camphor................20 grains,
Sulphate of Morphia.......1/2 grain,
Muriate Ammonia............30 grains.

6. The dose would be, these made into twenty pellets or capsules and one take each second day only, and the body exercise sufficient to keep the muscular forces over the body attuned in and about the personal condition, see. The exercise would be of specific nature to strengthen each muscle and ligament about the whole body.
7. (Q) Is there anything else, Mr. Cayce?
   (A) Do that.
8. (Q) What kind of exercise should this body take, Mr. Cayce?
   (A) Those similar to the setting-up exercise, the army forces, see, head and neck and arms for the relaxing of all the muscular forces producing this overcharge. The movement for the trunk portion will be circular, also, the up and down motion of the limbs to cause the perfect unison of forces, see.
9. (Q) Should electrical treatments be given this body?
   (A) Be very good.
10. (Q) What kind of electric forces should this body take?
    (A) Violet ray.
11. (Q) Should this body take the violet ray, Mr. Cayce?
    (A) Very good. Do not take too much over the body, but along length of the spine and only take each evening just before retiring, see, for three to five minutes.
12. (Q) Should there be any treatment to the limbs of this body? He has a condition on the inside of his right leg, Mr. Cayce.
    (A) Rather treat that as we have given with the exercise and along the head of the nerve supply. The seat or beginning of the trouble to correct must be rather through the mind and mental and spiritual forces to overcome the conditions and only that of mechanical forces to act in unison with those; hence the medicinal properties of those that give the correct stimulation to the secretive forces and the exercise that to strengthen the nerve and ligament so affected; the violet ray forces rather to centers to assist to eliminate rather than direct to the portions affected. Do as we have given.
13. (Q) Should this body enter into association with David E. Kahn and the Penn-Tenn Fuel Corp. of Altoona, Pa.?¹
    (A) We have only the physical conditions of this body.
14. (Q) Will you now give the information on the mental and business association of this body. The body of David E. Kahn is in the same room with the body of Mr. [4108] of Altoona, Pa. Should this body enter into a business relation with David E. Kahn?
    (A) First satisfy its own self, then enter into a relation, would be very good.
15. (Q) Should this body handle the State of Ohio with the Company, which Kahn represents?
    (A) Has not entered into it yet. Very good. These are his conditions, not for others to say - with his own mind to act upon his association, and as we have given, he has strong forces and meets conditions that may arise and satisfies his own self, regardless.
16. (Q) Is Mr. [4108] satisfied with these forces?
    (A) Not yet.
17. (Q) What will satisfy him?
    (A) The full manifestation of the end of the correcting of these forces, see.
18. (Q) When should Mr. [4108] enter into contract with Kahn?
    (A) When he is satisfied with the proposition and sold, as it would be expressed, himself and not by someone else. When he has sold himself, then sell others.
19. (Q) What capacity should Mr. [4108] enter into with David E. Kahn?
    (A) We have given these, whatever he wishes.
20. (Q) Should Rice and [4108] visit Dayton together?
    (A) Be very good.
21. (Q) When would it be advisable?
    (A) [No response]
22. (Q) Should Mr. [4108] and Mr. Rice make this visit at once?
    (A) We have just given it.
23. (Q) What should Mr. [4108] do at once towards preparing himself for this new business?
    (A) Just as we have given. We are through.
