1. GC: You will have before you the information given April 22,
1932, [294-140], regarding the psychic work of Edgar Cayce.
You will interpret this in a way and manner understandable to
the physical mind of Edgar Cayce. Answer questions of those
physically present in this room.
2. EC: Yes, we have the information as given here. In the
interpretation of same, we will give that as may be
understood.
3. First, this shows that there is innate in each physical
individual that channel through which the psychic or the
spiritual forces, that are manifest in material world, MAY
function. They are known as glands, and affect the organs
of the system.
4. In the activity, then, there is shown that an activity is
evident in the creative forces of the body itself in
PRODUCING or bringing about such phenomena in the material
plane, so that the use of same may make for the more
spiritual-minded individual or in the abuse of same one
becomes more debased or bestial in their activity in the
material plane.
5. In the action, then, as is to be studied by those that would
understand same: The physical manifestations as relate to
that one seeking information, that one questioning the
informer, and the physical actions or attitudes of the
informer, are to be ANALYZED as a chart that would signify a
formula for such activity taking place in the material world.
Yet, as given, this will not be a formula for ANY individual,
but knowing how same are combined - or the necessary physical
elements that must enter to make up such association or such
connection - then those applying same in their own experience
reach their OWN formula, OWN manner of approach to that
Throne through which there may come the better knowledge,
understanding, of Creative Forces in a material world. That
is a simple explanation. That should be understood. Ready
for ques.
6. (Q) Please discuss in detail the functions of the pineal
gland.
(A) If this is discussed from the anatomical viewpoint, in
the fetus as is begun in first of gestation, we find this may
be termed as the Builder. As is seen, the location of same
is in the beginning in that of the center or the nucleus
about which all of the matter takes its first form, and
becomes the brain as is guiding or directing the building of
the body as its development in the womb takes place. As it
then reaches from the umbilical cord to the brain, there is
builded that as is centered about same by the physical
attributes of that progenerated from those bringing such an
action into being. When there has reached that stage when
there is the separation of same, the cord then being broken,
this forms then its own basis in the lower portion of the
brain, or cerebellum, and through the medulla oblongata to
the central portion of the cerebro-spinal cord itself is held
intact, and with the removal of same, or pressure on same,
the various forms of hallucinations are evident, whether in
the developing stage or when it has reached the elderly or
older years in an experience. Its functioning, then, is as
that, of that, which makes for - or known as - the impulse or
imaginative body. Hence one that may be called demented by
others, who has hallucinations from a pressure in some
portions, may be visioning that which to him is as real
(though others may call him crazy) as to those who are
supposed to have an even balance of their senses; which [such
visioning?] has been formed by the circulation, or the
activity of the gland - as it is called - in its incipiency,
until it becomes - or is - as a mass without apparent
functioning. If the imaginative body, or the trained body
(as is called in a material world) is, trained constantly
away FROM the activities of same, it - in natural consequence
of things in physical being - draws, as it were, within self.
Hence senility sets in. Keep the pineal gland operating and
you won't grow old - you will always be young!
In this activity, then, as is seen, there is within the
genital organs the activity through that as may be called
the lyden gland, [Leydig] which has within itself that closed
door, or open door, as makes for activity through that to
the base of the brain, or the PINEAL gland - as is at the
base of the brain itself - which opens up for its activities
and associations to those other portions of the brain; that
sends out its sensations either through the sensory organism
or the sympathetic organism, or the purely physical organism.
For they may all act upon, or BE acted upon, for they are a
portion of, and kindred of - (now remember, we are speaking
from the physical standpoint, or pathological standpoint!) -
and are the active forces and active principles in the
activities and repulsions, or the actions, of individuals!
As these are the activities that come directly from the
organs of reproduction, hence, we find many instances where
psychic forces or developments of the individuals, or of an
entity, these become abused - or are used in a way and manner
as to bring about abuses that make for degenerate reactions,
as is considered by individuals, in their various forms or
activities to the moral forces as may be set by individuals;
but are to the individual the activities of a nature that is
an action of, or an impulse of, the organs or functionings
that are active through the functioning of the gland itself!
Hence we have the variations in functionings of same. Now,
as these are turned - or there is the seed, or that within
same that may be awakened that makes for those impulses known
as attributes that may be added to, that makes for the
spiritual life first in that of faith as an opening, that of
hope, then to virtue, then to knowledge, then to brotherly
love, then to understanding, then to the Christ
Consciousness, then to LOVE itself - which was manifest in
the body of the Virgin that brought into being that through
the concept of, or the conception through the Holy Spirit, by
raising that consciousness within same as to PRODUCE that
within the organs of the body itself that BECAME, as it were,
the begotten of the Father!
7. We are through.
