1. GKN: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are going to sleep - a quiet, peaceful and restful sleep. All the organs of your body will function perfectly - you will be normal in every way. You will hear what I say and answer the questions I shall ask you slowly and distinctly so that we may get every word. Now, Mr. Cayce, you are asleep and you have before you the body of Miss [3975], who is in room 2154 McAlpin Hotel, New York City. You will see this body and go over it carefully and tell us what the trouble is, if anything, and what to do to make it normal again.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We find there are abnormal conditions in this body, [3975] we are speaking of. These have more to do with specific causes in the physical. Keep in touch with this here if you would get this. The conditions as we have given here have more to do in the physical body than we have to do with that between the spirit and soul or mental force in the body here for there are in the physical body the material change or difference that must be brought about to make the whole body work in accord and create a perfect equilibrium throughout the whole system in this body. If we would correct the condition so that the whole life giving force or fluids in the body have their course in their proper accord throughout the system and could give to all the portions of this body the life giving forces then we will find that the rejuvenation of all forces of the body will be brought to normal and that we have the physical forces with the mental and divine forces all carried out throughout their whole forces in the body and bring the mental and spirit forces to a development to better understanding of itself. The physical force in this system has been brought into this body that it may learn and develop more through the mental and spiritual forces that it is to carry on with these from time to time. This it must understand in self.
3. The conditions as we find in the physical body are, in the lumbar region, that is at the 4th lumbar, where we have the second lumbar ganglia that controls the nerve energy through the muscular contraction of this portion of the body, in the pelvis and to the head of the locomotor sciatic
3975-1 Page 2
forces here, these coming from the 5th center of the brush end of the cerebral spinal nerve chord, the effect in this where we have produced improper union in this by a hurt that came to the body sometime ago, the deflection of blood force in the system became misdirected so that the supplying force to this is cut off, also with the nerve force becoming shattered and regrowing in itself to deflect energy, that is, nerve energy, which carries muscular and blood force through the lower portions of the body we come to the conditions that we have here.
4. To rebuild this body we would add to the system those properties that will give new expectancy to the nerve and lymphatic force in this portion of the body. That means medicine to be taken into the system here of the kind and character that will add to that which is needed to give in the physical force the correct vibrations between the physical, mental and spiritual forces in this body here. We would take into the system this:
5. 15 grains chloride of gold, add to 15 ozs. pure water (distilled). To this is added 5 grains bicarbonate of soda. The dose will be 5 minims in about 2/3rds glass of water morning and evening. The effect of this to this system here is to add rejuvenating force or expectancy through the plexus center which we reach here from the first properties and things taken into the system, the carrying of new life fluids to those portions of the body needed to rebuild.
6. Now circulation is not normal, sufficient to carry these. We will massage or produce by manipulation of these portions, that is from the lumbars on down, sufficient energies to carry this to these portions. That is, constant relaxation of these portions of the body. Then the body must add to its mental forces sufficient to overcome self and selfishness in self.
7. (Q) How frequently must this treatment be given? (A) Every other day.
8. (Q) How long shall she take this medicine? (A) 5 drops 3/4ths glass of water morning and evening from three to five weeks. Keep this up with the manipulation especially those where we have to do with the joints here, the knee through the locomotory centers, through all the portion of the lower limbs we will add by this new force. The mental force that should be taken and carried in shall be with all due diligence to self, with faith in self to create the powers needed to direct the proper channels in the distribution of these forces. We must by the manipulation in these portions redirect the forces of blood supply which have by their nerve energies been misdirected,
3975-1 Page 3
turn them into their proper channels. Mechanical force with physical action with the spirit and mental force of the body, all three forces carried in this treatment to the body. Do that.
9. (Q) Shall this body continue or start the Christian Science treatment that she has anticipated doing, Mr. Cayce? (A) If it hinders not with the mechanical means and force that we apply to these but she must be master of herself with these forces, the assistance that is given through power of mental force from another body to this acts with the nerve force so that the mechanical part should so understand. Her body is only a machine. If acted on when one is out of tune it plays accordingly. It must be put into tune before any mental force can act directly to the positive healing force throughout that will remain and be retained by the body. This does not hinder. If the other forces are carried out it will assist.
10. (Q) Any particular diet for this body? (A) Those things if we take these properties into the system we are giving here for blood force as the gold and soda, the natural tendency and call for the system will be for those things that are increasing the life giving fluids in the body. Blood makes nerve energy, nerve force, nerve supplying energies to the arterial and venous active principles so that what the system calls for let it have. You will find it will be much of vegetable matter that will be taken rather than meats. Only occasionally, if ever, any meat taken or used in the system.
11. (Q) How long will it take to bring this body back to normal? (A) If the mechanical means are used and centers are rejuvenated with the medicinal properties taken in and active with the mental forces we have given we would say from 6 to 8 weeks this body will be able to walk or go where it pleases and will be entirely well.
12. (Q) Any other details pertaining to this body, Mr. C? (A) The body is good. The mental force of the body is good. Do as we have given here if we would have a perfect mental force. Forget not to use this body then when corrected for the forces as we have outlined. Be not selfish. Do good, if you would have good done to you.
