Time of Reading Unknown. ..., N.J.
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 me 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 Mrs. [5605], who is at ..., N.J. in room ... Hotel. You will see this body and go over it carefully and tell us what the trouble is, if anything, and what to do for it to make it normal again. You will answer any questions about this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now these are the conditions as we find in this body here, Mrs. [5605] we are speaking of. We begin here at the head giving the conditions that we find. The brain cells and actions of this body is good but has been overtaxed to give out to others. We do not mean the body now, but a tired brain from overaction, too much blood has been carried to this portion of the body, not to cause hemorrhages to this portion of the body but so that the tiredness comes out over the whole system, producing various effects, as we will see, through the different portions of the body.
3. That is, the force as used to distribute blood supply in the brain, that is here between - the connection between - the upper and lower brain of the body, has kept too much of its used forces there. The action of the blood over the whole system we would find would be in this: The capillary circulation is low, as we see from the color of the body at times, especially as we have it now at the present time, so that sufficient circulation is to be brought or forced by manipulation, or to rubbing portions of the body to increase or bring about the circulation to extremities and other portions of the body. Not heart trouble is caused by this but a lack of distribution of right pressure to carry circulation from the arterial circulation to the channels bringing them back to the vena circulation produced by this condition we find here.
4. Building forces of the blood is good, which would show by an examination of the blood supply itself, to carry
5605-1 Page 2
sufficient of red, and of white of the leukocyte, of the hemoglobin, that is somewhat white and should be, that is, of these cells in themselves, in their force, [and] their circulation through the body.
5. Now, as to the nerve forces or nerve tissue in the system we find that the actions of these are good. The mind, or the central station of all nerve forces has been well developed, extended beyond the normal, yet to the detriment of the physical force throughout the body, because it has called in the blood supply through too much usage in this portion.
6. The actions of the organs of the body are fairly normal. At times the breath is with difficulty produced, not by a functional condition but a nerve force overcharged and carried through wrong channels, so that stimulation to portions of the body becomes very necessary.
7. Now, these are after-effects produced over the system.
8. Again we find things taken into the system through the digestive tract and in the function of these things that were once very palatable, things would act normally and naturally when the system becomes as it were, rejected by, or poisoned to the system at the time being.
9. The function of the portions of the kidneys between them and the liver is not as good as it should be. Again, reflex conditions from the seat or the cause should be removed to produce a perfect equilibrium in the distribution of nerve and blood supplies throughout this body here.
10. The spleen in its action on the system is deficient. It is enlarged. Cellular force within stand out, not to function in normal way of carrying away the blood used forces from the brain as it should in its action, that is giving out of the secretions that are used to rebuild all blood forces used in brain. In this function alone do we find if this is carried about in the proper channel would we find relief of all these portions of the body. There are times when the circulation becomes too much; carrying to the outer portions of the skin too much lymph and cause too much secretions. Then we have the effect of pus, or draws to different portions, carrying too much of this fluid to outer portions of the body and not sufficient of the blood supply to carry these to it.
11. To reduce or bring this body to normal condition, as we would say, the body should, as much as possible, remain in higher altitude then at present, for the time being at least. Taking this would become necessary, [to] force respiration because it would be an effect to the breathing apparatus to do this. This should be necessary for the
5605-1 Page 3
body. If treated at this time this way will relieve the pressure we find deep-seated at the first and second ganglia close to the solar plexus that affect the action of the nervous force through the spleen so that we begin a normal action or flow of blood force and nerve tissues through this portion of the body. As this would be rebuilded this would be done both by manipulation osteopathically, deep-seated in just outer portions of the skin, not just massage, but deep-seated and by hot applications at various times, to bring circulation to this portion in abundance. Do this. We will find we will bring relief from all things that come about at times to the body and relieve this pressure we have in the body.
12. (Q) How frequently should osteopathic treatment be given? (A) Every second day or every other day. Hot applications would be from three to five days, depending on how the action of the body would be. It will be necessary at times when first begun to massage body from time to time. As to diet the body should take, this will be governed by what the body itself desires. Much of fish or wild game and meats, those that are building for cellular force and nerve tissue rather than those for cellular force to the animal part of the body, or to the physical part of the body itself.
13. (Q) What is the special talent of this body, Mr. Cayce? (A) Designation.
14. (Q) Will you explain that, Mr. Cayce, please? (A) Giving others, or centralizing force for others as to what they should do. That is, she can choose between the good and the bad for other individuals. She is specially gifted and should use the talent to help others in this way. Fit them for the things they are good for.
15. (Q) Will her work be in America, Mr. Cayce? (A) It would be better in some other places if she fitted her body physically. There are some places where it is needed more than in America at this time. It is for her to choose.
16. (Q) Where are these places Mr. Cayce? (A) In Europe.
17. (Q) Any particular cities? (A) We have not any of them here. These will present themselves. They have not as yet.
18. (Q) What are her future financial prospects, Mr. Cayce? (A) With a good physical body the development financially will be wonderful. Give to others and returns will be commensurate with what she will give to them. The choosing of stations of others' lives and as to what they are best fitted for, the designation of this body to the other is for
5605-1 Page 4
those that can chose between the right and wrong, those that it would benefit, those that are real and those that are covered with sham. [They] will present themselves to this body in time.
19. (Q) How long before this will be realized? (A) When the body is physically fit which should not be very far if followed as we have outlined.
20. (Q) When will this body go to Cherokee, Mr. Cayce? (A) Nine moons.
21. (Q) Where will this body spend the summer? (A) High altitude, as given.
