Edgar Cayce Readings, 4304-1

Time: Unknown.

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here.
Now this body is very good. Fairly good physically, although there are some abnormal functioning of some of the organs of the body. Mentally and spiritually the body is far beyond the normal, that is judging humanity by the common equilibrium of mental and spiritual attributes.
Now as to the physical condition: we find this condition in this body. [4304] we are speaking of see?
The blood supply or the life giving force of the body is very good, both in its circulation and in its life giving properties to rebuild the normal physical body.
The heart action is very good.
The action of the blood flow through the veins is not always normal. The lymphatic circulation in this body from nervous energy not being directed in the right channel always by the spiritual forces in this body, produce sympathetic eradication to the lymphatic that becomes to the outer muscular forces an obstruction in the vein circulation by congestion to the centers, see?
In their monthly functioning pains are produced at times; a purely reflex condition by mental over-strain, by not allowing proper channels for the mental forces toward the spiritual. This with the pent up forces as thrown off by the life giving, or life reproducing qualities which are pent up in this body, form too much of its energy, hence this reflex condition that we find, especially in the extremities, such as the shoulders, arm-pits and hands; knee-caps and feet become heavy. As to the trunk, the effect produced through the liden [leydig?] glands through the sympathetic forces comes to the sensory organs very imperfectly.
This is the condition that we have in this body of [4304].
All the medicinal properties that might be given to this body would be a detriment. Study centralizing thought and action of the sensory system will be the means to restore the perfect equilibrium, and this body will be able to give more to the outside forces and to others of the stored knowledge through the spiritual forces of this body, by the concerted action of the eye, ear and speech first, then the senses of feeling and taste. As to how to arrange and develop these forces should be the line of study for the development of this body and for others.
(Q) Is there anything the matter with the spinal column of this body, Mr. Cayce?
(A) Nothing, only as we have given here; that is we have the congestion of the liden [leydig?] glands.
Much might be produced to the system if allowed to give in to itself and not keeping up such active force throughout the system; or if a line of thought and study is kept up it will be relieved.
Improper functioning by the liden [leydig?] glands, taking from the system that which produces the ova, or the reproduction forces, are not in accord to the cycles of reproduction in this body. Hence the forces of this body must come from spiritual and mental equilibrium. It is better that it should not reproduce, as it will reach a far higher development and force than through its own offspring, and better far for the world.
(Q) Would it be better for this body to adopt a child?
(A) If not too much of the force that should be given to humanity is not exerted or spent on one individual. The forces that are capable of being given out by this body are very great, and the spiritual forces should be distributed to others, after that it might be well.
There are many times that perhaps for the peace of the body, that is physical, of course, it is better to reduce the mental strain through the action of the lymphatic and emunctory ganglia. It would be well if calcium was used to rub this portion of the body. This will not be long needed; when a direct force is applied to the nervous energy along spiritual and mental lines, outside remedies are needless, and material aid might be given to the body temporarily, that is when pain comes to this body.
Do this as we have given, and the mental forces of this body, [4304] and the spiritual energy will be able to give not only to herself, but to many others, the oneness of the Universal, the complete oneness of the physical, mental and spiritual, if it will allow itself to study and give out.
