Edgar Cayce Readings, 4240-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes. Now, as we find, the conditions physical that surround the body are more in the order of physical disturbances and physical impairments, though they affect the whole coordination of the system. These conditions show the effect of the system in its body being affected by external influences, and the effects of this is to impair the conditions as related to the activities in the locomotions, in the activities of the body in relation to the coordinating of the system and the effects of same that impair the body through these conditions.
These, then, with the developing body, may be expected either to become more abstruse in their bringing deformity to the body, if allowed to run in those channels where the lack of sustenance from the system in its general rebuilding does not supply those normalcies for replenishing of those forces that are impaired by the lack of elements in the system, as well as determents for those portions where pressures and destruction of those things that would make for replenishing in the system, or the mental and physical will continue to grow less and less active. With a change, or an alteration of same so that there might be the re-establishing of those conditions in centers where there has been impairment, these would then GRADUALLY grow to be of more use to the body in relieving the stress and the strain on the system, and thus bringing about that possibility, that opportunity of the system's adjusting itself to bring a nearer normal condition and make for the abilities of dependence of the body upon its facilities, or its own abilities in its functioning. Without these, as we find, these would gradually grow to be more dependent upon the necessity of more close attention, the necessity of more activity being carried on by another for the use of the body.
In these, then, as seen, these conditions are such that there is necessity of persistence, consistence, patience, and the following of those conditions that develop from period to period, as in the changes that would be wrought in the body by the corrections necessary for the allowing of coordinations in the functioning of organs, in the relieving of pressures and lesions, in the making for coordinations in the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal where pressures make for that in the system which prevents the proper reaction for the body. Then these would bring about better conditions.
We would change the surroundings to where there would be the possibilities of sand, sun, and an outdoor experience for the body. It would be necessary for the close attention of, and the keeping in accord with, those forces necessary in the body in the beginning, and the gradual addition to the system of those forces in elements, in activities external and internal, that would bring about the removal of those pressures, bringing about coordination of forces that may be had through such surroundings, as well as the addition of those properties that would be found in the use of the vibrations as may be had from the Infra-Red light, which will affect the structural portions of the system and break down infection as there is added those elements from the sand, the sea, the sun, and the following of a diet that would make for the proper development of, and an assimilation in system that would give an opportunity for developing those conditions that would make for near normalcy in this body, [4240] we are speaking of.
Such, then, may be followed by those sources or forces that would follow out the developments of such conditions, and we would bring about - as we find, through such a near normalcy - an opportunity for development; though this must of necessity be through quite a period - and rest periods, and periods of various applications as conditions are aided.
Ready for questions.
We would bring or send the body to such a surrounding as the Beach, where there may be close attention to those conditions necessary, under the supervision of those who may apply those manipulations necessary to relieve those stresses, where there may be added those elements little by little that will bring about better conditions of the body.¹
We are through for the present. [Note: During this reading EC dreamed of a black swan that asked him, "What are you waiting for?"]

BACKGROUND

6/13/32 Father's letter: "Will my child's condition improve and when?"

REPORTS

6/20/32 EC's ltr. to [4240]'s father:
Mr. [...] New York City
Dear Mr. [...]:
You will find enclosed a copy of the information which was gotten for your little girl. I hope you will find in this something that will be of great aid in bringing about better conditions for her. Apparently, unless some steps are made, the time will come when it will be impractical to do anything. The suggestion is made that it would be possible for something to be done here. Such arrangements can be made, if your decision is in this direction, and I would like very much to see and talk with you about it. Would it be possible for you to come down and see us? No doubt Mr. Levy can give you a very good idea of the conditions here. Under the circumstances, arrangements could be made that would be not costly, and I believe they would mean a great deal to the young lady.
Please let us hear from you, and if there is anything we can do in any way to assist, we are only too glad to do so.
Hoping and trusting that we have been and may be of service, and that we may hear from you, I am
Sincerely, EC:GD ASS'N FOR RESEARCH & ENLIGHTENMENT, INC.
6/24/32 Father's ltr. to EC:
Mr. Edgar Cayce, c/o Assoc. for R & E Inc., Virginia Beach, Va.
My Dear Mr. Cayce:
I received your psychic reading for my daughter [4240] but I find that the wording is too complicated and the analysis not specific enough.
Would you be kind enough to send me another letter worded in simpler language explaining [4240]'s condition in more detail. If you will word this reading in every day language it will be more beneficial in its results.
Thanking you for an early reply,
Sincerely,
6/28/32 EC's ltr. to Father: Mr. [...] New York City
Dear Mr. [...]:
It is hard for me to reply to yours of the 24th. As you no doubt know from reading the booklet and talking with Mr. Levy, in my normal waking state I cannot describe physical conditions nor change the wording into, as you say, everyday terms or simpler language. We have found by experience that these readings are more clear and detailed when there is the better attunement and faith of the one seeking. That's why we suggested that you make a list of questions to have asked in the reading concerning her condition, because - of course - the ones conducting the reading have no knowledge of the character of condition and cannot seek specific information regarding it. Possibly if you could have been present and asked the questions yourself it would have been much clearer.
From looking over the recorded information, I understand that by following the treatments outlined you could possibly prevent her from being an invalid the rest of her life.
Mr. Levy, who advised you to apply through these channels, is very well acquainted with the work, and I would suggest that you get in touch with him and let him go over the reading with you. He can interpret it as well as I can in the normal waking state. If you can't in this way get a clear explanation of the information, I assure you it is my sincere desire to be of service if possible - and I would be glad for you to seek from the sources themselves a clearer interpretation.
Hoping you will be able to get something very much worth while, and that we may hear from you again - with all good wishes, I am
Sincerely, EC:GD ASS'N FOR RESEARCH & ENLIGHTENMENT, INC.
