Edgar Cayce Readings, 5498-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body, [5498]. Now, we find there are conditions that are abnormal for this body. In some respects these have gradually changed. In some respects the changes have become such as would be considered normal for the body, but we find these may be brought to a near - or much nearer - normal functioning than is indicated in the change as has been manifested so far. Then, the condition physical and mental - these are dependent much upon each other. There has existed for some time, and especially through the development period from five to eight, when there was pressure induced on the system that has hindered in the normal expansion of the system as related to the gland functioning, especially through that of the pituitary and the pineal. These, then, produce the exaggerated expanse to the system in a PHYSICAL manner, and an indeterminate manner SUPPRESS the reaction in the physical through the voluntary nerve system; that is, not that mental deficiency exists in the terms of being other than either the exaggeration in terms of physical and the indeterminate forces as through abnormal response in those activities as are operative through the pineal and pituitary. The pituitary being that effect to which the coordinating of order or command is active with those of the stations in the brain proper, through which activity as related to same becomes enforceable, or reasoned, or reasoning with. While those of the pituitary being in that position of the GOVERNING of that reaction TO the centers FROM which the radial forces of the gray matter, or response in its negative sense becomes active in the system. Hence when stubbornness, as is sometimes termed, arises with the body it is NOT stubbornness in the actual sense of being indeterminate by the body itself, but the lack of proper RESPONSE in the care or protection of its own individual sense, by the pressures as are produced in same DURING that period through which the developments began in this line, which are seen in the 2nd lumbar and in the 9th dorsal. Since, these - then - form in the pituitary center or line, those of a globule itself, that makes indeterminate in its activity of forces as related to the brain and the nerve system and its reaction for this body.
In meeting, then, the conditions - this would be necessary, not ONLY in making those proper adjustments or releases as would be necessary to set the body aright, as related to the specific centers from which the radiations' active force is seen, but also would it be necessary to correct the whole nervous center from the central nerve system itself, and its radial active forces with that in the sympathetic, cerebro-spinal, also of the cardiac, the ileum plexus, and ALL, must be made to COORDINATE. As is seen, where each crosses in the centers from the various portions of system, they become not voluntary - but involuntary, and the body is accused, or thought to be, irresponsible in its activity - when the forces are PRODUCING the definite condition existent, and the stamen [stamina] necessary for the resuscitation of forces as related TO the system in the nervous impulse itself, must be physically applied - so that the vibrations to same are of the nature as that the vitality as is stored in each atomic center shows its response in the cell THROUGH which such vibratory centers are active with the sympathetic, cerebro-spinal, and the general system.
These we may find by the addition, then, of those necessary vital forces as in active principle - and with the activity of nerve energy itself. Then, Gold Chloride - in the make-up of gray matter for the nerve vibration, applying same through the solar plexus center, or the ganglia about the umbilicus, with the POSITIVE pole operative at the 1st and 2nd cervical. Also with that stamen necessary which carries with same those in Silver Nitrate, which would be made almost OPPOSITE from same - for the positive must be attached to the lower portion of the umbilicus center, and the negative - carrying the vibration OF the Silver - attached to the base of brain, so that the pineal may receive DIRECT that vibration.
Also, well would it be that this be altered occasionally, so that a clamp about the head - touching each side, just above the ear, and connected with the central portion - would act as the center from which this vibration would act on the pituitaries - for these are two. While the pineal CENTER is one, acting THROUGH the system and through the brain itself. Do that. Ready for questions. Make the CORRECTIONS OSTEOPATHICALLY, for the MASSAGE and the GENERAL activity of the system to PRODUCE coordination in the various plexus centers, WITH cerebro-spinal and sympathetic, are necessary - that coordination IN the system, especially through the nerve plexus - for with the activity of these, these must coordinate in both impulse and activity. The OSTEOPATHIC manipulation assists in such. While purely CORRECTIVE measures, or those known as chiropractic, only release - while those in the neuropathic would only stimulate the whole nerve system; but adjustments are necessary, as is also that to be followed out from the centers in the cerebro-spinal area that connect with the sympathetic, the ileum plexus, the cardiac plexus, the sympathetic cardiac plexus, those of the hypogastric and pneumogastric as they cross about the cervical centers; also those from the pit of the stomach, under each rib and to the groin, and even to the ends of the limbs themselves - where each, in this sympathetic and cerebro-spinal coordination, operate with the central nerve system - receiving its impulse directly through the cerebro-spinal cord, but GOVERNED by that impulse through the gland, which - as a body develops - should have less and less in the internal system and more judgement, as is often called, of age, by the centralization of the pineal - the governing point of the brain impulses. THIS the variation in age and youth, as to judgement! Ready for questions.
(Q) Where would be the best place for the treatment and development of this child?
(A) Where it will get it!
(Q) How long should it take to bring body to normal, if advice is followed?
(A) Nine to eighteen months!
(Q) Should his education be attempted in a school while the treatments go on?
(A) Well that normal reactions be that activity for the system, so near as is possible. Hence the developing of the education, while THIS should be kept in line with the general forces - but the necessary corrections PHYSICAL are necessary, THAT the education may be completed IN a manner so that both physical and mental and spiritual forces MAY coordinate in the body!
(Q) Is it advisable to bring the body to the Cayce Hospital?
(A) It would be!
(Q) How can we best develop his brain forces to cause the perfect coordination?
(A) As has been GIVEN! What's all this talk been about! Just do that! That will be sufficient! We are through for the present.
