Circulating Files are collections of verbatim quotes of what Edgar Cayce said during his
readings on a given subject or, in some cases everything. We have medical circulating
files which focus on the over 9,000 health-related readings with subjects from Acidity-
Alkalinity to Weight Loss. We also have non-medical circulating files on a broad range of
topics, for example Egypt: Sphinx, Pyramids, and Hall of Records, Fear and Its Far-
Reaching Effects, Advice to Parents, Serving in Accord with Ideals, and Business
Advice.
Each circulating file is simply a collection of reading quotes or full readings given for
different individuals on a similar subject or disease. The A.R.E. cannot and does not
suggest treatments for physical ailments nor make claims about the effectiveness of the
therapies. We encourage anyone working with the health readings to do so under a
doctor's care and advice.
The circulating files support the research aspect of the Cayce work. We appreciate any
feedback informing us of progress made in improving one’s life or achieving good health
by applying suggestions given in the readings. Please send any feedback (testimonies,
experiences, results, etc.) to:

Some circulating files contain commentaries or summaries written by physicians. These
reports are to be used as a basis for further research in the form of controlled studies,
and should not be misinterpreted to be either a refutation or an endorsement by the
doctor. Referral doctors wanting to borrow a file for an extended period may do so by

Our hope is that through the Cayce readings you will find the wholeness and oneness
which is God's plan for us.

General Extracts from the Cayce Readings
2556-1, F 30 (Teacher), 5/5/41
The entity is a "sensitive," yet one well versed in many ways in the occult,
the mystic influences, the signs and omens - whether conscious or same or not.
261-25, M 48 (Banking, Investments), 10/4/36
(Q) My investment management business at ..., ... Ave., N.Y., has
continued to grow but rather slowly. Have you any comment as to this activity?
(A) This should be to the body, to the mind, and the enquiring mind of
[261] as an excellent omen. Know, that which grows nominally, normally, is a
healthy growth. That which comes by spurts and bounds oft is not that prepared
for the rebounds that so oft occur in such associations.
Making haste slowly should be ever in such activities the watchword. For,
to use some of another land's ways - the English way - is not a bad way for
America to follow, in THAT direction.
This then as we would comment, is healthy and is safe. Keep it that way.
1286-1, F 30 (Model), 11/8/36
(Q) What is the significance of the "M" left on the entity's writing pad two
years ago?
(A) As has been indicated as to the entity being "sensitive" to the
influences about self, this is a sign, an omen of an influence outside of self that
might become a destructive or a helpful influence. But ever is there the choice.
This then is rather as the proof and as the understanding to the entity of such an
influence.
1167-2, F 40 (Divorced in 1920), 5/14/36
While the sojourns in the earth as well as those environs under which and
through which the entity passes in the interims are indications, or as signs or
omens, there are none that surpass the will of the individual. For THAT is
supreme in making its choice. Will rather than knowledge, rather than
understanding, rather than other influences, makes for that as may bring
developing or retarding in the experience of an entity.
Choice, then, is the factor, as will; as to whether choice is as for that which
is the easier way, or for self aggrandizement, or for self-exaltation - or that self
may have that which gives fame or fortune for its activity among its brethren, its
associates. Not that these are not well; but positions, power, might, positions of
fame, positions of fortune, are the outcome of specific choices of individuals'
activities, and are not mere coincidence - or not accidents.

849-18, M 30 (Writer), 6/26/37
(Q) Of the many persons whom I have met in New York who are interested
in psychic phenomena, which would be best for me to develop as companions and
partners in the furtherance of my program for myself in this field?
(A) Those that hold the more to that of spirituality as related to psychic
influences in the life, rather than to that of any individual idea or approach;
though all of these are to be kept as a part - or, as has been indicated, as signs,
as omens, as directions (as they are). For as has been given, and as is
understood by the entity, only in the various forms as they have approached their
materiality in their respective fields has the interest been seen. But the entity
realizes that "psychic" is not other than of the soul; not so much spiritism or spirit
as SPIRITUALITY - or spirit-activity, God-force of the soul active in the individual
or person. Hence those that hold fast to that.
1009-4, M 73 (Retired), 8/27/36
As to the abilities of the entity, then, and that to which it may attain and
how: In self may be found the key, the answer to those things that cry - either
aloud in the inner self or that may be as omens or as signs along the way.
For as the entity does and has done unto others, so there comes in the
hours of need, in the hours of depression, in the hours of joy, in the hours of
sorrow, fruits of that ye have sown. For as ye sow, so shall ye reap. In Him there
may be seen the light, but in self it must be met.
Let the light of the glory of a RISEN Lord ever be thy light, thy guide, thy
way of approach to knowledge, power, wisdom and might. For the might is of the
Lord, the wisdom is His; knowledge is of God.
Those things that make for bringing happiness, then, the bringing of
peace, are from walking the closer with the Christ!
1058-1, F 23 (Clerk Typist), 11/15/35 a little of everything
Yes, we have the records of the entity now known as, or called, [1058];
and those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are a part of the
entity's sojourn in the material plane as well as those influences that make for the
development of the soul-entity through those environs about the earth.
This entity, as we shall see, has many conditions to meet - which may only
be met in relationships to Creative Forces that are made manifest through those
experiences of the application of the Spirit of Truth as set in Him, in the
relationships to the individuals and groups whom the entity may contact from day
to day in the present experience.
The purposes, then, for the entity's entering into activity in the present,
that become manifest in the material world, are set before the entity in that in
which it may apply itself in its relationships to individuals, to groups, to masses.
Those influences that are emblematical or are of the earth's environs, that will
make for omens or helpful influences, are apparent from the entity's activities in
sojourns in the earth.

Hence, as we would find, the wearing of the stone lapis linguis would be as
an aid in its meditative periods, and would become as a helpful influence. Not as
that of "lucky," but rather that as of a helpful influence towards making for the
ability to make decisions in dealing with mental attributes.
Also the odor of the peach blossom, or of those natures partaking of the
sandalwood as combined with same. Also the numerological aspects make for the
numbers as of three and seven. These make for those expressions, then, that are
manifest in the activities in its delving into or in its dealings with problems.
For, as will be seen from those experiences through the astrological
sojourns (as they are termed by some), we have these influences:
Some are an affliction. Some are in the benevolent influence.
Hence we will find periods in the experience of the entity when from
astrological aspects the entity becomes subject to those influences of affliction.
But let each soul know, there is no influence above that of the WILL of the
individual when made one with the Creative Forces as are set in Him.
For His promises are sure. And He will not leave those comfortless who
seek, but will abide with those that seek to know His face, His will, His biddings.
Not everyone that saith "Lord," but he that DOETH the will. THIS, then, is that will
which beareth witness with His Spirit, that ye become indeed the children of the
living God, KNOWN by thy dealings with thy fellow man.
818-1, F 49 (Housewife [Husband a Naval Officer]), 2/8/35
In giving that which may be helpful to this entity in its present experience,
there may be given that approach from which such information may come at this
time, in order that there be as little confusion in the experience of the entity in the
present as possible. For this entity seeks earnestly. The experiences that may be
seen through the sojourns in the earth have been fraught with those things that
have made for soul development. And because one experience or another makes
for confusion in the present, it is well that the entity set self aright; that it may go on
- ON - to the mark of the higher calling which is set in Him, the example unto the
sons and daughters of men, their elder brother, even Jesus.
As to the influences, then, that make for signs, omens, periods when this or
that in the experience of a soul is the more active, do not confuse signs with that
which is sought. Do not confuse the impulses that may arise in the inner urges
even, or those from the emotions of the body that take hold upon the soul and the
spiritual forces with that which has prompted same. For first there should be the
realization by all that matter in any form is of the spirit, whether from the atom in a
corpuscle in the body, or the sphere or orb of any of those systems seen about the
earth and described by the psalmist, "The heavens declare the glory of God, the
firmament showeth His handiwork; day unto day uttereth speech, night unto night
sheweth knowledge." So in the transition of an entity, a soul, such as this entity -
known in the present as [818] - whether in the body or out of the body it shows
forth the Lord's work till He come again; made a little lower than the angels, yet
with that promise, that ability, that gift of the Father to each soul that it may be one
with Him, yet know itself to be itself and one with Him.

Palmistry
416-2, M 28 (Freight Agent, Telegrapher), 4/29/34
(Q) What value is there in palmistry? To what extent may it be relied
upon?
(A) As we have given in regard to any and every omen, it is an indication -
yes. As to whether or not it will come to pass depends upon what the body, the
mind of such an one does ABOUT that it knows in relationship to itself. It may be
depended upon, then, about twenty percent as being absolute - and about eighty
percent "chance" or what a body does with its opportunities. The same as may
be said about an individual that has prepared himself to be a medium through
which there may be expressed in excellent executive. How much does the
preparation have to do with the body being an excellent executive? About twenty
percent, and the application is the rest! It is just so with all activities.
For, the will of a soul, of a body, is supreme - even as to whether it
makes of itself a channel for the spiritual influences in its experience or for the
selfish desires of its own body and its aggrandizing of those influences.
O if souls, bodies, everywhere, would gain that knowledge that the
abilities to be sons of God or of the devil lie within self's own individual will! For,
as has been given of old, "I am persuaded that neither principalities nor souls,
individuals nor conditions, may separate me from the love of God save myself."
To be that He would have thee be, in all that thou doest and hast done from day
to day, is being then a channel - and being used by Him, rather than using the
blessings He has given thee for thine undoing.
(Q) How should I proceed to improve myself mentally and spiritually?
(A) By making application day by day of that thou knowest to do as in
relationships to thy fellow man, day by day. For, it is ever as in the training for
any activity in the material or commercial life; personal application of that thou
knowest brings about those experiences in the lives of individuals that some call
"luck" or "chance." For, when the will to do is ever present and not faltered by
doubts and fears that may arise in the experience of all, then does it build, then
does it attract that which builds and builds and IS the constructive force in the
experience of all.
Numerological Influences
338-4, F 43 (former Telegrapher, now Art Student) 7/1/36
(Q) Where may I obtain a numerological reading that would be reliable so
that I may better determine my abilities in the present?
(A)These we find may be given through many channels. These may be
given through these influences or forces, yet these are rather as the expressions
that would be given as signs and not as omens. For the WILL makes for that
determination. But if those are sought for, as we find the better may be had from
such a one as Moon Trail. [Horace Hambling, English medium, on tour in U.S.A.]

462-11, M 52 (Dredge Captain), 3/13/37
(Q) Why does 13, or 4, seem to play such a part in my life and what is the
significance of it?
(A) This as we find comes to what may be called the vibrations under
which the entity as an entity is active, or the contacts with what may be the
mental or the material channels through which there are the manifestations.
They are as omens, or as the effect of vibratory forces upon the activities of the
individual entity for bringing experiences into manifestation.
To this particular entity the 13 (and 4) comes rather as a mental
experience, and appears to be the door to or the door in or out of a new activity.
As these come into the experience then, the entity experiences that it is either
the beginning of or the end of some particular period of manifestations.
Do not rely upon same as other than that in the experience.
(Q) Should I leave the initial L. out of my name?
(A) We would change the vibrations of the body entirely by same, and
these will come nearer then to being 5 and 8, or changes - with a general reaping
from changes as brought into the experience.
Again it is a choice as to whether or not to change. But remember, these
influences of 13, 4, 5, 8, will always be present - if the changes are made! They
are merely omens or signs; not factors that produce - but are the production of
the activities of the body mental, physical and material.
1402-3, F 59 (Widow, Writer on Astrology & Numerology), 7/20/38
While a great deal has been and is written or presented for various
reasons on the subjects of psychic phenomena, numerology, astrology and
kindred subjects, these each have their place in the experience of the human
activity if the approach is made from a spiritual angle - and not from that point
where the individual may seek, through personal knowledge of these, as to days
or weeks or years or numbers, to take advantage of his fellow man.
Each phase of the experience should be taken and applied in a prayerful,
a sincere manner; and not accrediting the influence from the numbers, the stars
or any omen in itself, but the AUTHOR; giving the credit to the author of ALL of
these things!
261-15, M 47 (Banking, Investments), 8/17/35
(Q) Can the entity's psychic faculties be expressed or developed through
numerology?
(A) As we have indicated oft, astrology and numerology and symbology
are all but the gateways or the signs of expression.
As for this entity, as we have indicated the symbols of numerology may be
developed; but the INTUITIVE forces that arise WITH same make for rather the
safer, the saner, the more spiritual way, with the less aptitude of turning to forces
from without. (continued on next page)
10. SIGNS AND OMENS CIRCULATING FILE
Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2013 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

For, as we see in numbers, or numerology: One indicates STRENGTH,
power, influence; yet has all the weaknesses of all other influences that may be
brought to bear upon any given activity in which same may be indicated. But it is
KNOWN as strength and power; even as the UNION of self with the Creative
Forces that express themselves in the activity of matter, in ANY form, is power.
Two makes for a division; yet in the multiple of same, in four, it makes for
the greater weaknesses in the divisions. In six and eight it makes for the same
characterizations, yet TERMED more in these that one is power, two is
weakness, three is the strength of one with the weakness of two; four being more
and more of a division and weakness; six being the changes that have been
made in the DOUBLE strength of three. Seven is the spiritual number. Eight
indicates the commercial change. Nine indicates strength and power, with a
change.
These, then, are as INDICATIONS; and NOT other than the SIGNS of
things, that may be altered ever by the force or factor from which they emanate.
Hence INTUITIVE force is the better, for in this there may come more the
union of the spirit of truth with Creative Energy; thus the answer may be SHOWN
thee, whether in Urim, in Thummim, in dream, in numbers, in WHATEVER
manner or form. For He IS the strength of them all, and beareth witness IN thee
and through thee - if ye but do His biddings.
(Q) If so, how can they be used through this method for the benefit of
others?
(A) As indicated, there are many channels, many manners - as we have
just given. These are as free in themselves; the numbers, see?
As related to individuals these each vibrate to certain numbers according
to their name, their birth date, their relationships to various activities. Then when
these appear, they become either as strengths or as losses or as helps or as
change, or as the spiritual forces. But, as indicated, they are rather as the signs,
or the omens; and may be given as warnings, may be given as helps, may be
given in any manner that they may be constructive in the experience of the
individual.
1869-1, F 46, 5/1/39
One inclined to give too much to omens and signs, and those influences
that arise from associations or affiliations with those who are reported to be
occultists, - or a form of scientific research.
It is well that all of these be considered, but know that much that is
attained through the mental concept may be misleading. It must be rather the
awareness of the oneness of the universal consciousness, that may bring the
spirit of truth and peace.
Know that no form of omen or signs should ever be confusing in the
experience of an entity. Thus, while astrological, numerological or the mystic
signs are important to a degree, they are merely RELATIVE as to purposes.
11. SIGNS AND OMENS CIRCULATING FILE
Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2013 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

For know, as has been indicated of old, "If ye will be my people, I will be
thy God" was not spoken at random, but that each soul, each entity may become
- as it seeks - aware of the oneness with the promises which have been and are
the birthright of every soul that comes into materialization.
Signs and wonders, lights and noises, - yea, even though one come from
heaven and declare that He hath not come in the flesh, such an one would lead
thee astray.
In the aspects as we find them from the astrological sojourns, the entity
comes close to the cusps.
Hence they are in that position (through the signs!) that the influences are
for the entity to be both a materialist AND one given to spiritual things.
It behooves the entity, then, all the more to so examine self as to know not
only in what ye believe but WHO is the AUTHOR of that ye profess to believe.
Thus the applying of self in its daily associations with its fellow man, in
keeping with the tenets and ideals of that which is the ideal of the entity, will bring
more and more awareness of the relationships to the Creative Force ye call God.
For HE is mindful of all, and hath not willed that any soul should be led
astray. Seek, then, and ye shall find; knock and it will be opened unto you.
Study then to show thyself approved unto thy ideal, a workman not
ashamed, - rightly dividing the words of truth, putting the accent where it belongs.
Know that all is - as Life - the gift of the Creator, and that the opportunities
which present themselves from day to day are to be made manifest as a
glorifying of the Father. For that is thy mission in this experience.
Astrological Influences
1592-1, F 56 (Actress, Religious Preference: "Christian and Hindu"), 5/16/38
Hence, as has been so oft indicated, the astrological aspects, the mental
or material sojourns through an experience in the earth, are only indications; and
the activities or applications of self through same are only given as signs, as
omens.
For the WILL of the entity is that which is the birthright.
1767-2, M 76 (Manufacturer), 1/8/39
As to the urges which arise astrologically - which are only urges and have
nothing to do with the choice the entity makes of that urge - we find that these
are only as signs, omens. For, as is and ever has been the experience, TODAY
there is set before thee good and evil, life and death - choose thou! It is the will,
the self that makes the choice as to the urges!

2533-1, M 36 (Insurance Agent), 7/8/41
From the sojourns of the entity in Neptune we find rather the influences of
water, as well as things coming from water, are a part of the entity's experience.
Thus the entity should ever keep a pearl about the self or upon the person, not
only for the material vibration but for the ideal expression. For, it will be an omen
– not only because of the vibrations that it may give to self but because of
keeping the even temperament, yea the temper itself. For the entity can get
mad, and when it is mad it is really MAD!
820-1, M 25 (Government Clerk), 2/8/35
Sojourns in environments are those innate activities, while sojourns in the
earth are those of the emotional natures; yet each one is under the influence
more of the will - or what an entity does about an urge - than merely the position
of a sojourn of the entity. Although there are influences from the astrological
angle, they are as signs, omens and impulses; not as destinies, for the destiny of
each soul is in what the entity does about the application of creative influences
and forces in its own experience in any environ.
1222-1, F 34 (Housewife), 7/17/36
As to the influences that arise from the astrological sojourns, these are
rather in keeping with the time – the Aquarius forces, and as there are the
beginnings of the Aquarian age.
Then DO NOT consider self as being unusual because unusual
experiences arise in thy associations, in thy meditations, in thy activities with thy
fellow men. Do not do OTHER, though, than contemplate these. Remember
thou art in the same signs, omens, as the Mother of Him; that gave to the earth
the physical man, Jesus - Aquarius in its PERCEPTION, perfection.
Hence when those experiences arose in that life, ye find it said, "She
pondered these in her heart."
Hence the same injunction might be given. For no better direction can be
had or given than the consecrating of self in body, in mind, in activity to the
service of those influences, those forces that may be as those that the self may
give to others in the meditations, in the supplications; keeping self in those
directions that INDEED as He gave, "Ye abide in me, I in the Father," and ye
may know those forces from the abiding presence of the Master's forces.
1073-4, F 51 (Housewife, Opera Singer), 2/17/36
As to that which may be helpful to the entity from the records of the
experiences in the earth, and in the interims of the astrological sojourns, we find
many are as omens. Hence these should be used as such, and not to become
other than stepping-stones for understanding and making for abilities, the use of
self in soul development.
13. SIGNS AND OMENS CIRCULATING FILE
Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2013 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

For the entrance of each soul is that it may become more and more aware
in materiality of the oneness of all force, with one purpose and one desire to be
wholly in Him - and to be a channel where His blessings may come to others; or
to be more and more in that way of manifesting the Creative Forces we call God
in manifested form among the fellow men.
In Mercury we find the high mental abilities; the experiences of searching
in mysteries, omens, various characteristics of mental forces; and the ABILITIES
to transmit to others THAT the ENTITY HAS EXPERIENCED in self - if it will
apply self in those directions!
1648-1, F 57 (Librarian), 7/28/38
In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them, these are
given with the desire that the experience may be a helpful one; and that the
entity, meeting self in the influences that are latent and manifested, may realize it
is doing so through the use of the will in relationships to Creative Forces or God -
as manifested in the experiences of the entity in the present sojourn.
Also these are given with the desire that the entity may realize that the
opportunities as present themselves for activity in relationships to others,
whether these are used in constructive forces to the glory of that the entity has or
may set as its ideal, are the influences that make for weal or woe as to the
growth of the soul experience.
For while we find body, mind and soul are phases of the experiences of an
entity in materiality, these are but the manners through which the real ego or I
Am manifests.
Then while the urges that arise from the astrological sojourns or aspects,
as well as from the appearances of the entity in the earth, are influences, they
are not greater than the WILL of self in its choice of what it will do about its
concept of Creative Force or God in its experience.
Hence they are only signs or omens through which one may take
cognizance to realize the weaknesses as well as the virtues - which in this entity
are many (the virtues).
For there have been many experiences through which the entity has
passed in the material sojourns, so that the very emotions or the influences from
the astrological sojourns only become as visions or dreams - rather than those
that make for great overpowering urges.
However, these are given that the entity may feel or know whereunto the
calling has come, and the activities of the self that have met and do meet with
that which is the ideal of self in the present experience.
2326-1, F 60 (Executive Housekeeper in Hospital), 8/21/40
As in all influences, there are those indications of signs, omens; which is
the first law as He gave, that the sun, the moon, the stars, the planets in their
course were given to man as signs, as omens, as indications that the way may
be clear to those who seek. (continued on next page)

Hence, as will be indicated, rather than that which is oft interpreted, that
the individual impulse is because of the planets or the sun or moon being in a
given position at the period of birth, it is that - as the souls are a part of the
Creative Forces - the sun, the moon and the planets are as much affected by that
influence of a birth, as affecting - or more! Yet because of their position they
become as signs, or tendencies or inclinations, as a part of the entity's
experience. For, experience is that through which awareness arises in the
consciousness of either spirit, mind or body. Thus these become as the shadows
of that which was, that which is, that which may be.
1493-1, F 64 (Widow, Dental Hygienist), 12/4/37
If the constructive or creative forces are chosen, that are the manifestations
of the Maker . . . then man chooses the way that builds into the consciousness the
awareness of that godly approach to the Christ-Consciousness.
Those that choose for self that of fame, fortune or whatnot, that takes hold
upon materiality alone, build that which becomes dross in the experience; and
bring discomfort, disease, disturbance to the body and the mind, and - as it were
shrivel or starve the soul.
Hence into man's consciousness there have been given signs, omens,
signposts, as it were; in not only the manifestations through man's experiences
within his higher mental self, as may be had from the astrological aspects - which
are from sojourns of the entity in those environments between the periods of
manifestation in the earth; but in those that arise as emotions through the
material senses from the sojourns in the earth; and also the teachings, the
warnings that are given here, there, from those who are as messengers….
We find such experiences are brought from these innate influences, that
are signs or omens or directions; hence have nothing to do other than pointing
the way. For while one may be influenced by such signs, the very will is that
which makes for the choice itself - which is in its essence the gift of the Creator,
that the soul might choose to be one with that which is everlasting; which is and
can be only constructive, born of what may be truly said to be the fruits of the
spirit of truth itself; as: longsuffering, patience, kindness, brotherly love. Not
envying, not making for strife or that which would even make any soul afraid.
These are then those things that, grown to fruition and applied in the daily
experiences and associations one with another, bring into the heart and soul of
an entity that peace which He, the loving Brother, gave, "My peace I leave with
thee - not as the world knoweth peace, but my peace," that comes of love, of
patience, of those things known as the virtues in the experience….
And the entity will find more and more that ye approach more and more to
the very throne of grace, ye will find thyself leaning upon the arms of some to
whom ye have shown those fruits of the spirit; to someone ye have comforted in
trials, to someone whom ye have fed - whether in the fruits of the spirit or in the
needs of the body or the heart. These be those things that bring the
consciousness of His abiding presence.

1219-1, F 40 (Stenographer), 7/13/36
Coming in this experience in those environs of April is not the result of the
entity's activities in this material plane. It is rather then the indication to the entity,
as signs, as omens of what HAVE been the experiences of the entity through its
sojourns in the earth and what during those activities the entity did ABOUT, did
with, the opportunities for manifesting itself in such a way and manner as to be a
channel, a glorifying, an example of Creative Forces through that experience the
entity has had.
Hence the warnings as are given from the natural inclinations, for the
entity finds itself from those very experiences that arise from those influences
from Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, as to be those forces where they may be
turned to very good, very bad influences.
There should ever be as a sign, as an omen, as a guiding influence, as
from each day's activity, as to each day's opportunities, "There is set before
THEE life and death, good and evil - choose thou."
The astrological forces are indications of the entity's activities and show
inclinations, but they should be rather as knowledge, rather as understanding;
knowing these things exist as urges, as inclinations, but that in the daily dealings
with the fellow man the problems of the hour, the problems of the day, are
sufficient unto THEMSELVES. And as an entity, a mental being uses same in
the LIGHT of its ideal, so does the SOUL become aware of its associations with,
its contacts with, that which brings blessings, that which brings reverses, that
brings consternation, that brings harmony.
These are in the experience of each soul. And what the entity does about
that free will that is the heritage of each soul, as its BIRTHRIGHT - the WILL -
makes for development or retardment; and nothing may separate thee from the
knowledge of the Father but thyself!
As is indicated from the astrological aspects, that purpose for the present
experience is PATIENCE to be learned, patience to be a portion of self, patience
to be the experience of the entity.
And yet so oft does the entity find in its dealings and in its relationships
with individuals and groups and activities that this virtue is lacking, or it is
something that is intangible. Yet this must be learned.
457-2, F 23 (office worker in husband’s business), 5/13/31
In those influences in Neptune, will bring those of the mystic forces as are
seen in the influences that come about the entity as related to the influences of
mysterious experiences, movements as may be seen, felt, heard or experienced
by the entity from unseen sources. These should not be taken as evil omens,
nor of those influences following that would be hindrances; rather may the entity
apply same in the EXPERIENCES of self and come to be known - by the
APPLICATIONS of the influences - as one with a keen INSIGHT, or one
INTUITIVELY led and guided into the proper choosing, the proper relationships,
the proper attitudes, the proper conditions for the better development of self and
of those conditions as related to individuals, peoples, and others about self.

1849-2, F 37 (Owner Personal Therapy Salon), 7/3/39
In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them, these are
chosen with the desire and purpose that these may be a helpful influence or
experience for the entity.
For the abilities for a great spiritual as well as mental and material
advancement may be the experience of the entity in the present sojourn.
That there has been quite a checkered as well as a varied application of
the abilities of the entity is indicated in the present. Yet, as may be inferred, the
entity being not only a Uranian but an Atlantean, it has the abilities for quite an
unusual career.
This has been and may be again, dependent upon the application of the
influences and abilities; a very high, a very exalted, and yet at others a very
discouraging, a very DETERMINED experience, - yet an application that may
make for disappointments in the material expression of those influences and
forces in the experiences of the entity in the present.
There may be given much, yet it is the application of so little that needs be
for the entity to comprehend, to understand, to be awakened to the purposes, the
desires, the causes that rule the influences in the material as well as in the
mental and spiritual relationships through this material sojourn.
Coming in those astrological aspects, we find the entity is one with a great
deal of strength of character, strength of purpose; and yet so easily persuaded or
dissuaded by material circumstance, - yet innately knowing there IS a way that
may seem right unto a man, though the end thereof is death, is disappointment,
is that which maketh the heart afraid.
From the urges arising not only from the astrological sojourns but from the
very activities in which the entity has applied itself through the earthly
experiences, this present experience included, we find that omens, figures (or
numerologically speaking), as well as metals and colors, having much to do with
the entity in its application of the intent, the purpose of the entity from experience
to experience. This is true whether applied from the past sojourns, or from the
present material analysis of individual or of companionable circumstance.
Thus we find there have been those relationships in this material plane, as
well as those through the activities in various spheres, that have caused a great
deal of anxiety, as well as periods of stumbling, as well as periods of exaltation
and of glorifying.
As to colors, - black and gold should be much about the entity. Not that
these natures ARE as the background, but the urges innately for keeping self
purged, and keeping the mental attitude as well as the purposes and desires in
the way in which there may be kept in the forefront the greater application of the
purposes of an individual making material manifestation.
Three's or their multiples, or their squares, become the numbers, or the
numerological aspects for the entity.
Also, for the harmonies for the entity, that represented in the fleur de lis,
with the shield of the Roman, as combined with that upon the flag of the
Egyptian, should be as the life purposes.

For in each of these will be seen a great influence in not only the present
material sojourn but how and in what manner such forces may bring those
vibrations to the entity in this material plane.
The associations, then, with those that are of French extract, as combined
with conditions having to do with Rome, - not Italy but ROME as a background;
and the odors as from Egypt; these be the influences that may be brought about
the entity for that urge to be kept the greater, or for the more harmonious balance
in its abilities for choice in material associations with individuals or groups.
We find from the astrological aspects the influences from Venus, Jupiter, -
Uranus being the ruling force with these.
Hence as will be indicated by the experience of the entity in the present
sojourn, those things having to do with home, the building of home, as to its own
flesh or blood, have had for the entity experiences in which EXTREMES have
been manifested; arising to the heights even of ecstasy at times, and yet at
others the very opposite becoming a part of the material experience.
These have also applied, and will apply, in the marital relationships, as
well as the associations in a commercial nature.
Yet the application needs to be centered in the spiritual, and not to
become shaken by signs or omens or that as may be of material or mental
reasoning.
For, each soul enters the material plane for the fulfilling of a purpose; that
it, the soul, may be one with the Creative Forces. And when such is allowed to
be overridden because of the application for material gains, or for self-
indulgence, or self-glorification, or for self-exaltation, - then stumblingblocks are
in the experience.
Yet, as with this entity, we find there is a continual harking to those innate
urges for a greater spiritual understanding, that innate call for a greater spiritual
awakening.
1770-2, F 49 (Widow, Former Concert Singer), 12/29/38
It is well with this entity that in the sounding of the name, in the writing of
same, it always all be included. The vibration, the harmonious effect of same
becomes almost as a shield in the entity's experience; as well as in the
numerological effects and their vibrations upon those the entity may approach.
And this is ever a part of the entity's experience as an emissary or
messenger to others. Hence it is well that its own mental and material and
spiritual self there be kept that balance.
In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them here, for this
entity there will be chosen the interpretations with the desire that it may be a
helpful experience. Yet this will be almost, as ye would call, a brief of that which
MIGHT be the interpreting of all of that which has been, which is to be, part of the
entity's experience through the sojourns in this material plane.

As is seen, all phases of activity are seen in the manner, the means, the
way that each influence or force becomes a part of the entity. For as it is in a
three-dimensional plane, it receives those influences or environs, or those that
are as signs and omens from all phases of that which is without self.
For instance, the astrological influences are not in the form or manner as
has been so oft and is so oft judged by the purely astrological aspects from
records. For the shifting, the changes that have been wrought in the zodiac as
well as the signs and positions of this material sphere in relationship to the whole
have been misjudged. But rather is this judgement drawn from the
EXPERIENCE of the ENTITY, as an entity, in that environ.
And as there has been and is attributed to the planetary influences about
this present solar system or environ, these become a part of the experience of
the entity - the innate, the soul self.
Through the use or application of any influence then does it become so
much a part of a soul, or a soul-entity.
Hence we find these as signs or omens, - as also the numerological, the
vibratory forces of color, or those of the mineral as may be crystallized in material
forces.
Hence the bloodstone or the ruby is well to ever be about the entity, upon
its body; so that the very vibratory forces of same give - with that of thought in
constructive force - creative environs or vibrations for the entity in its use or
application.
784-1, M 40 (Divorcee, Unemployed), 1/8/35
In entering the present experience, there are many of those things that
may be called influences in the experience of the entity in the present sojourn.
It would be well if the entity would, for its own best experiences in the
present, know that no influence - astrological, numerlogical, environmental or
hereditary through the blood - exceeds the WILL of self. Too easily has the
entity experienced that this, that and the other sign or omen has influenced the
self in opposition even at times to self's own inner urge. It is not alone for the
lack nor for the lack nor for the great quantity of knowledge an entity may have,
but the greater influence is what the entity in its WILL, its MIND, does about - and
with - that knowledge it finds as a mental and spiritual and practical thing in the
experiences in a material world. It is not by might nor by power but "by My Spirit"
saith the Lord. For the Spirit or the prompting of the Spirit is the heritage of each
soul. And as each soul is called by and through the attuning of self to the divine
within, the divine manifestations from without, such a soul may know whereunto it
may apply itself; and be not anxious, be not troubled about the outcome. For
man can of himself do but little, for God giveth the increase in those fields of
service; and He, the Father, knoweth that we have need of from day to day.

Past-Life Influences
1468-1 F 47 (Social Secretary, Divorced), 11/2/37
(Q) What are the lights which I see coming and going, like twinkling stars?
(A) As there were those varying lights that appeared when ye first beheld
the company following the Master, they are as the ways being pointed for the
greater awakening, the greater understanding in thy spiritual and mental
experiences in the earth.
These are AS the influences such as we have given in regard to the urges
from astrological sojourns and from experiences in the earth; they are signs,
omens. Not to be worshipped AS such; but as He gave the light of the rainbow
to those of old, they are as but the keeping of the promise to thee, that thy ways,
thy works, thy activities are not forgotten before Him. They are assurances, then,
of His love, of His care.
Then with HIM ye can never, no never, feel or be alone.
(Q) Would my life work be writing?
(A) These are as experiences that applied in giving the beauties of love,
not in the material alone but as to how the divine love overcomes, may bring
help, aid and hope.
And he that saves a soul through hope renewed hath covered a multitude
of shortcomings.
These would be well - but as in cards, in verse, in the stories of the way to
Jerusalem - from Bethany to Jerusalem, from the Temple to the Cross - these
would be well.
(Q) Is there anything I can do to help it come through?
(A) Look within - these will aid. BEGIN it! As ye use that ye have in hand,
more and more will be given thee.
But, as has been depicted for thee, can ye not see the place, the little
town in the hills from which ye journeyed to the city of the many strange noises,
the many strange lights, the many unusual customs to THINE own tenets! And
then this new experience of He that brought hope and cheer to those that were ill
in body, those that had lost hope through the holding to material things and to the
old tenets of tradition? And can you not see the great throng as they spread their
garments - yea, those of high and low estate or position - and all the wonderment
and loveliness of companionship sought in the material ways? These became a
vision. Build upon it, carrying - as it were - thine own part in same. And it may
be brought through to a BEAUTIFUL, helpful experience - From Bethany to
Jerusalem!

In the latter portion the entity gained, for with the recall of the priest to
Egypt the entity continued as the ruler of the land to keep associations and
contacts with his people who returned to the Egyptian land; such a contact that
enabled the people to build much of the places in the land that are yet as
mysteries to the more advanced in some lines of activity. And the entity gained
throughout. [2/20/43 See 845-9 indicating that Mrs. [845] from Egypt was Mr.
[416]'s wife in Nubia.]
The occult or the mystic influences in the present are innate, and yet
active, in the experience of the entity. And the abilities or those activities in the
way of charms, that add to any thought, to the entity in the present will ever be as
omens to the entity. Not as in the thought of irreverence, or irrelevant to the
ideas or ideals of constructive influence, but that which tends to make the mental
forces directed in such channels as to make for the attunement of the physical-
mental and the spiritual-mental to combine in their influences in the mind of an
entity or soul.
319-2, F 55 (Secretary [to School Board]), 11/7/35
Before that we find the entity was in the periods or sojourns during the
activities in what is now the French, or French and Spanish land; during those
periods when there were the gatherings of many for the preparations for the
Crusades that became as influences or activities in the Holy Land.
Hence those things that have a classic nature, or are as emblems of the
classic experiences of individuals during that period become as things that are as
omens and as a portion of the entity's activities.
Hence the entity's neatness, the tidiness.
1551-2, F 37 (Traveling Saleslady, commission basis) 3/15/38
There are influences that bear upon the experiences innately, as well as
upon the emotions. But know that these are not impelling, but must be used as
signs, as omens.
And know that there must first be found within self that which is an ideal.
Not merely the ideal home, the ideal economic security, the ideal channel or
outlet for the physical and mental emotions, but that ideal which ye would have
thy God, thy Lord, have in relation to thee.
Then know that it is indeed necessary in self for the ideal of every phase
of the experience - physically, mentally, spiritually - to be founded in that which is
eternal, that is as Life itself.
For Life IS, and it is earnest, and it is good, and it is sad, and it IS
beautiful, and it is ugly; just as ye apply it in thy dealings and relations with thy
fellow man – as patterned from thy ideal.

Then indeed it is what it is in the present because of what ye have set in
motion or done about same in thy experiences here, now, and THROUGHOUT
the ages of thy sojourn in the earth as well as in the interims about the environs
of the earth between the earthly sojourns.
882-1, F 59 (Housewife), 4/15/35
Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land, as now known,
during those periods when there were turmoils and strifes through those
upheavals by the rebellions in the land; during those periods when the Atlanteans
were entering, and when those of the now called Arabian and Persian lands
were seeking for an entrance.
The entity was among the natives of the land that were in the associations
and activities of the king deposed, but rather among the princesses of that land.
As the rebellions and changes came about, the entity embraced the activities of
the Atlanteans' experience, the Atlanteans' teachings, and later - with the
reestablishing of the Priest, with the beginning of the disseminations of those
activities - where there were those understandings of the relationships with the
material things that partook of health-giving forces to the body, those things as of
the air and water that make for the health-giving to the mental forces and the
influences of the fire or the purifying began to be understood - the entity then
made for great activities among those associated in the Temple service, the
Temple activities.
Hence customs, symbols, omens, are a portion of the entity's innate and
manifested self from experience to experience.
And these may bring into the experience in the present a greater
understanding of those relationships of the souls of men to the Creative Forces in
its activities through those forces of flesh and mind that make known the
mysteries of nature, the mysteries of the spiritual forces in and among the sons
of men.
The name then was Jah-ptel.

The entity then was among the daughters of Ra-Ta that went into Egypt,
yet when the rebellions arose there were separations from the activities and the
entity joined then with those of Ibex that made for the destruction in those
portions of the land.
With the return of the Priest from the Abyssinian land, and the beginnings
of the activities with the people that came from the Atlantean land, the entity
again - in the name Ali-Shepht - made for ovations to the Priest and the activities
in aiding to establish those things known NOW as the medical, the application of
the material things from the earth for the healings, and for the things that brought
strength to weakened bodies - in the stimulations of same. (continued next page)

The entity then advanced to a position of aid and help; becoming that
would be termed in the present among the first to be established as nurses in the
infirmaries that were established in the land; gaining much from these
experiences; but when there arose again the dissensions between those from the
Atlantean land and the natives, the entity brought turmoils to self by the
harkening to the incantations that were made, and the figures and signs and
omens that were set aside, rather than following those that were being presented
by those in the Temple Beautiful. But in the latter days the entity again returned
to the fold, when there had been the regeneration of the Priest, or the father, and
the entity aided then in bringing the lessons of the law of One to the peoples in
many varied lands.

Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land. There the entity was
among those who were the emissaries prepared through purification in the
Temple Beautiful [GD's notes: in which [849], present uncle, was the musician
who led in purification ceremonies; [437] was interpreter to various groups;
[1315] was a teacher in schools of art; [1101] perhaps in land to which [2862]
went as emissary; [1528] famous architect or artist.); and as one that went to
other lands in those activities that made for the bettering of others.
There we find the entity was in those activities directing the development
of the young in other lands.
Travel becomes a part of the entity's experience; unusual places; a special
interest in the mystic and in omens and signs. And these, if kept in that way of
correct spiritual guidance, may be an unfoldment in the experience of the entity in
its dealings with others.
The name then was Al-Ves-Etta.

938-1, F 29 (Singer), 6/21/35
For Life and its expressions are one. Each soul or entity will and does
return, or cycle, as does nature in its manifestations about man; thus leaving,
making or presenting - as it were - those infallible, indelible truths that it - Life - is
continuous. And though there may be a few short years in this or that
experience, they are one; the soul, the inner self being purified, being lifted up,
that it may be one with that first cause, that first purpose for its coming into
existence.
And though there may be those experiences here and there, each has its
relationships with that which has gone before, that is to come. And there has
been given to each soul that privilege, that choice, of being one with the Creative
Forces. And the patterns that have been set as marks along man's progress are
plain. NONE mount higher than that which has been left in Him who made that
intercession for man, that man through Him might have the advocate with the
Father. And those truths, those tenets - yea, those promises - that have been set
in Him, are true; and may be the experience of each and every soul, as each
entity seeks, strives, tries, desires to become and pursues the way of becoming
one with Him.
For the words that He has given are simple, "Inasmuch as ye do it unto
the least, ye do it unto me."
Then, as there has been and is the passage of a soul through time and
space, through this and that experience, it has been and is for the purpose of
giving more and more opportunities to express that which justifies man in his
relationships one with another; in mercy, love, patience, long-suffering, brotherly
love. For these be the fruits of the spirit, and they that would be one with Him
must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Then in the study, in the meditating upon that as may be presented from
thine records here, look to these in that way and manner; knowing that we as
souls can of ourselves do nothing save the Spirit giveth utterance, permission, or
furnisheth the opportunity. But as we use what is given in this or that experience,
expression or manifestation, then may and doth the Lord give the greater
opportunities.
As to those things then that become as signs, omens, destined forces that
are set before the entity from and by its advent into the earth's experience at this
particular period, we find:
These from the astrological, numerological and all the phases of those
things that man has set as signs, are as good omens to the entity. While there
be some in the material experiences that appear as such, from man's judgement,
there have been the opportunities that have been embraced by the entity.
And now, in the heyday of the excess and the experiences of the entity in
the present, if these are used for self-indulgences they may become as the
stumblingblocks in the way of progress.
If they are used in that manner to show forth His love as He has promised,
then may peace and harmony, joy and contentment enter the heart, the soul of
the entity - and bring that peace that passeth understanding.

Before that we find the entity was in the Roman land, during those periods
when there were the exchanges of the Roman activities and expansion of the
various lands; in what is now the northern African land, portions of Palestine,
portions of now Turkey.
The entity knew of such activities then rather through its own associates
who sojourned there. For the entity was the mother, sister, and wife of those
who acted in the capacity of the soldiery, or those who acted in the capacity of
judge, or those who acted in such capacities at the various meetings for the
exploration and domination of those lands.
From same in the present there is rather the anxiety which arises innately
as to the jobs that may be given to people in their various estates; that is, the
entity may find itself often worrying about whether or not an individual - who is
possibly only known to the entity – will fulfill his mission in this or that activity.
There are the anxieties felt as to those who go on special missions and things of
that nature; these become a very portion of the entity's experience, INNATELY.
For through that experience in the Roman land the entity, as one
Pompeai, was looked upon rather as a seeress, as one not wholly understood.
For the entity then was given to the study of what would NOW be termed the
religions of the world, of THAT day or that period.
Such study brought much to the entity; and in the present we find that
symbols and such come to be a part of the entity's own activity. Omens, days,
days of the year and of the month and of the period, these become a part of the
entity's experience INNATELY and manifestedly. If these are used rather in the
light of those experiences indicated - that is, in the analyzing of self, rather than
in calling judgments upon others - it will make for a great deal more harmonious
experience for self in the present.
Stones
691-1, F 34 (Secretary), 10/12/34
Many are the records of the entity, and bright are they in many of its
activities. There is a condition that is out of the ordinary, for the entity should in
this appearance become a channel for expressions of the divine activities in the
earth through the efforts or expressions in its own writings.
In giving that which may be helpful for this entity in this experience, not
only from the astrological sojourn of the entity in the environs about the earth -
that have been accredited by the ancients to those influences upon the earth, the
activative forces in their positions about the earth - but those things that are more
as omens, the various accredited vibrations as in stones, etc., we find having an
influence upon the entity. For the entity should ever wear about the body the
lapis lazuli or the lapis linguis; for these will bring strength to the body through
those vibrations that are brought or built in the innate experience of the entity
from its sojourn in the Egyptian land.

1651-2, F 49 (Housewife), 4/11/40
(Q) Describe in more detail the lapis stone suggested for the body to wear.
(A) As understood, and may be found by the investigating of same, there
is a blue-green stone, that is a fusion in copper deposits, that has the same
vibration as the body; and thus is a helpful influence, not merely as an omen or
good luck charm, but as the vibratory helpful force for health, for strength, for the
ability through the mental self to act upon things, conditions, decisions and
activities.
Because of its softness, it will necessarily have to be encased in glass - as
two crystals and this between same.
It may be worn around the neck, the wrist or the like. But wear it, for it will
bring health and hope, and - best of all - the ability to DO that so desired.
4006-1, F 41, 3/29/44
(Q) Will wearing opals by one who does not have them as birth stone
signify ill omens for that person?
(A) No, opals will be helpful if there is kept the correct attitude, for it will
enable the entity to hold on to self or to prevent those who would be angry from
flying off the handle too much.
2073-2, F 39 (Housewife), 4/12/40
Coral should be about the entity at all times; worn, - not as a charm, not
other than the vibrations of the body as related to same. Because of the very
nature of its construction, and the very activity of the soul forces of the entity, this
would become a helpful influence in the experience of the entity. Hence this we
would wear about the body, but against the flesh.
All things that have to do with such as marine activities will be a part of the
entity's ULTIMATE activity in this material experience.
In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them here for this
entity, these are chosen with the desire, the purpose, that this may be a helpful
experience for the entity; that it may realize or become aware of the purposes
for which it entered this material plane.
For, a birth into materiality is not by chance, but that the will of the
Creative Forces may make manifest in the experience of each soul its purpose in
a material and mental plane.
Through the very indications of that element as would be helpful in its
experience (the coral), we find that the entity is highly sensitive to intuitive forces,
spiritual aspects, spiritual imports….
And the entity oft becomes aware of a vision within the environs or
surroundings that is not of an earthly making, but is of the celestial spheres; and
also of the beauty in color, and the figures that are indicated in those colors, as
also music that blends with same, more than of individuals or personalities or
individualities that appear in same. (continued on the next page)

Cultivate these, for they - as the activities in the imaginative realms
(should some choose to call them such) - become close akin to the real soul
self; just as the wearing of the coral - not as a worshipfulness, but as the omen or
as the charm (if one would choose to call it such) – would keep the body in better
attunement.
WRITE such visions - keep them; they will be helpful to many.
Finances
900-117, M 30 (Stockbroker), 8/27/25 Dream
(Q) I met Ben Block and I said to him: "I forgot to send that letter to the
Stock Exchange telling of our admittance to your firm as partners. I'll do that
now." He motioned I should and I thought of how calmly and quietly we took
such a big event; that is, the announcement that [137] and [900] had been
admitted as partners to the firm of Block, Maloney & Co. I mailed the letter with
some stamps and money enclosed.
(A) Still the same experience of the inmost forces of the entity, [900],
showing that in the inner forces the larger magnitude only become as
commonplace circumstances or conditions, and this, as we see, is of the omen to
the entity of the rise in the financial circles and in circumstances and associations
with others of the same cult.
And as is seen in the mailing of the papers, of the stamps, that of the
necessity of being a genuine condition to bring about such circumstances.
Hence the greater lesson would be the genuineness of the individual actions
toward all whom the entity may contact, especially in that of the uses of the
forces as are manifested for the entity's advancement.
Physical Issues
900-94, M 30 (Stockbroker), 7/15/25 Dream
(Q) Friday Morning, July 10, 1925. "Saw a cake, like a birthday cake, with
lighted candles."
(A) This, we see, is an omen of distressing forces that is to present to the
body through that of aggrandizement of appetite within self. Beware of trouble
from stomach from same, for as the enlightening forces come from these, these
as the conditions that may be met and prepared against within the appetite of the
individuals itself. Beware of too much sweets. Beware of too much
aggrandizement of the appetite in self.

1173-6, M 28, 11/14/36
(Q) From time to time when the body swallows he notices a cracking
sound in his ears. Should anything be done for this?
(A) The applications of the massage as indicated for those centers more
specifically in the upper dorsal and through the cervical area reach to those
portions where the effect of the circulation will alleviate those disturbances. Do
not be alarmed at these conditions, for rather are there the indications that the
system is attempting to coordinate the better in the flow of all the forces that
accord with the cerebrospinal to the sensory organism.
For as the sensory organisms affect through the vagus center to the
auditory forces, to the throat, to the optics and to all portions of the system, these
are rather an inclination or a sign or an omen to the body of their reacting nearer
normal. But with these manipulations and these applications these conditions
should gradually become normal.
5188-1, M 24 (USAF Sergeant, Radio Technician), 6/3/44
For, life itself is the manifestation of that divine influence. Not that ye
become as one gloomy, sad, but rather be joyous in the Lord, and these will not
only bring greater blessings to thee in thy vision but in thy ability to meet the
infections which may come from those malarial conditions from the swamp or
from the mosquito. All of these ye can put aside, trusting only in the Christ.
Occasionally, do massage along the spine with Cocoa Butter; that is, an
ounce in which there has been put five grains of quinine, mixed thoroughly.
Massage this along the spine, under the arm and in the groin. Not only will the
mosquito not bite, but there will be no malaria. These are not as an omen, but
are those influences which will keep the body in attune with the infinite.
Know that the Lord doeth all things well. Keep His law. For it is not
beyond understanding if ye seek not to have thine own way, but can truly in
heart, in mind and body, daily say, "Thy will, O God, be done, in me and through
me, daily."
2797-1, F 32, 8/26/42
For some time back there has been a pressure in the 3rd
and 4th
cervical
that deflected the flow of the impulse in the sympathetic and cerebrospinal
reaction. Hence the localizing of the disturbance to the face and the soft tissue in
throat and head.
The glands in the thyroid, in the adrenals, and at times even of the pineal
become involved in same, sympathetically; from these pressures as they exist in
this body. (continued on the next page)

Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2013 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

The effect upon the nerve system as indicated, is to cause the glands that
secrete for the lymph activity in the digestive forces to supply such natures that,
lacking in the leucocyte impulse, do not heal - or do not throw off the
disturbance.
Hence we will find at times that these areas become swollen, from the
attempt of the body to adjust itself with the lack of this proper impulse for healing
or coagulation in the blood force; producing a form of infection. That it has not
become acute, save at times, it is a good omen, as might be said.
And these conditions may be relieved, if there is the systematic reaction
given the body forces as to aid in bringing normal impulses through the body.
Search For God, Lesson on “Destiny”
262-75, Search For God, Group #1, 1/6/35
Destiny is, then, a law - an immutable law, that is as lasting as that which
brought all into being that is manifested in all the varied spheres of
materialization, or manifestation; and that of which man has seen the signs here,
there, written in those experiences of the travelers along the varied spheres of
experience. Man in the interpretation of those signs has often mistaken the sign
for the law.
Hence to those that hold to this or that theory, then, this group would
present - in reference to the destiny of mind, of body, of soul - that which may
become as a light to many who have stumbled upon those signs in their
activities, in their efforts here and there.
Then, in giving that from which and upon which ye as individuals have
applied and may apply as a group in giving an aid to others, in making their paths
straight, look ye to the LAW that is destiny - destined - in the Word of Him. For
He gave that though the heavens and the earth pass away, His Word shall NOT
pass away. What is the gospel? What IS the truth? What is the judgment?
What is the law?
"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he"? ye ask. "As ye do it unto the
least of these, my little ones, ye do it unto me"? another asks. "As ye would that
men should do unto you, do ye even so to them" says another.
What gave He as the last command? "A new commandment I give unto
you, Love one another." What is thy lesson on Love? How many live same in
their daily experience?
But ye ask again, What of Destiny? He hath not willed that any soul
should perish but that EVERY soul shall know the will of God to DO it!
Then, ye wonder - can such be possible in threescore and ten years in the
earth? Also ye wonder - doth the time of birth, the place of the environment,
make or have a part in destiny? Do the days or the years, or the numbers, all
have their part? Yea, more than that! Yet, as has been given, all these are but
signs along the way; they are but omens; they are but the marks that have
indicated - for, as given, He has set His mark, and these are SIGNS, not the
destinies! For the destiny of the mind, of the body, of the soul, is with Him.

For naught that man may do maketh for the righteousness, but the mercy
of the Father as exemplified in the Son makes for the destinies of that trinity of
the mind, the body, the soul, in its effort, in its endeavor, in any environ, in any
experience, to mark the way; yea, even so clearly that there may not be longer
the stumbling, the wandering - for the day of the Lord draweth nigh for many.
While ye wander, search thine own heart and KNOW as of old that faith is
counted as righteousness to those that love the Lord. Those of ye study that ye
show yourselves approved unto Him that giveth life; that would direct the mind,
that manifests in the body, that would have thy soul as a COMPANION with Him
- thy elder brother! Who hath OPENED the gates of heaven, who hath closed -
to you that manifest love - the gates of hell! For He hath given. And he that
confesseth that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, hath LIFE eternal -
and the gates of hell shall NOT prevail against him!
What, then, is thy Destiny? It is made in that thou pervertest not that thou
KNOWEST to do in thine heart respecting thy fellow man! For ye look to Him
who is the author and the finisher of faith. He IS Faith, AND Truth, AND Light -
AND in no other is there comeliness at all. For He is the rock of salvation; the
bright, the morning star; the rose of Sharon; the WONDERFUL counsellor. In
Him IS thy Destiny. Turn ye not away from Him. [GD's note: Again warning not
to accept Halaliel or any other.]
As to those things that are marks, signs, omens along the way -
UNDERSTAND them for what they ARE! Put NOT thy trust in THEM! For He
has given (and remember He gave, "Heavens and the earth may pass, but my
Word shall not!"); he that seeks shall find; he that knocketh, to HIM shall be
opened. For He hath spoken, and His word is; that "Though ye wander far afield,
though ye become beset by the doubts and the fears, though ye even turn thy
back upon ME, if ye will remember the promises and TURN, I WILL HEAR -
SPEEDILY - and will forgive thy trespasses, even as YOU forgive those that
trespass against you."
Let love be without dissimulation. Look not upon that which may bring
only joy to thee, yet even peace to thee; for He is thy light and thy guide. Put
rather thy life, thy EXPERIENCES, thy associations, even thine own self, into His
keeping; knowing He is able to keep that thou hast committed unto Him - and
may save thee, for He alone hath the words of life. And no matter what ye make
or mark, or mar, He is STILL with thee, ready to harken when ye call.
262-77, Search For God Study Group #1, 1/20/35 “Destiny” (continued)
Then, what is destiny? That the soul who seeks shall the sooner find; that
the soul who puts into practice day by day that which is known may the sooner
enjoin itself to that which IS hope and peace and happiness and love and joy in
the earth….

Then, that which hinders most - this group, any group, the world - is
speaking one thing and living in the inner self another. This destines to bring
confusion and turmoil and strife and want, and a reckoning with that which makes
for tears, sorrow, and that is of the earth earthy. And ye are, as He gave,
servants of - workers with - THAT force whom ye serve.
In presenting self, then, as has been given, come to the altar of truth
within thine own self. There He through His promise, IN His promise, will meet
thee, and it shall be shown thee that which is the way, the manner.
Individuals in their understanding falter here and there, for they have been
told and have listened from their own observation, rather than experience, that
this way, that way, the prayer at this period or at that period, the stars at this
period have meant or do indicate or do mean that this number from the name,
this day means this or that, and in the application comes confusion. These - as
has been given - are signs, are omens; but how gavest He? "The heavens and
the earth will pass away, but my word shall not pass away."
The signs, the omens then, are to be used as stepping-stones for an
UNDERSTANDING; not to be confused with nor given - through that gift in thee
of constructive forces from the Father-God Himself - other power than they
contain within themselves. For each soul that meets and encounters and
accredits receives the same in return. How gave He on this? "He that receiveth a
prophet [Halaliel?] in the name of a prophet hath a prophet's reward." This does
not indicate that the prophet received is of God, an angel of heaven or of hell; but
in the name, in the manner, in the way as received so cometh the reward. THAT
is destined! Why? In the seed of thought, whether of body, mind or soul, IS the
seed thereof; and it bears fruit which is of its own kind and nature. Said He, "Ye
do not gather grapes from thistles; neither may ye expect to do evil looking for
good." For the destiny is in that which has set the world, yea, the earth and all
that is therein, in motion. And ye in thy blindness, thy foolishness, thy DESIRE
for self, look for some EASY way; when all the ease, all the hope, all the life there
is IS in Him! Then, HIS way is the easy way. What is His way? "He that would
force thee to go one mile, go with him twain; he that would sue thee and take
away thy coat, give him thy cloak also." Did He say whether justly or unjustly?
Who did He say is the judge? "Judge not that ye be not judged." For, "As ye do it
unto the least in the earth, ye do it unto me." [Warning re accepting Halaliel's
offer given in 262-71]
Then, when ye seek to do His biddings and do otherwise than thou would
have Him do unto thee, thou alone maketh the way harder for thyself. For the
will of the Father is LIFE! It is life eternal to as many as will accept, as many as
will view that which they hear from the still small voice as they meet Him within.
For ye are made up of mind, body, soul. The soul is the God-part in thee, the
LIVING God. The manifestations that ye make in thy mind make for that growth
which is manifested in the body in the earth and in thy soul in the everlasting.

His Return
3976-15, 1/19/34
HLC: We seek at this time such information as will be of value and
interest to those present, including T. Mitchell Hastings, Jr. in the next room,
regarding the spiritual, mental and physical changes which are coming to the
earth….
First, then: There is soon to come into the world a body [see next
paragraph]; one of our own number here that to many has been a representative
of a sect, of a thought, of a philosophy, of a group, yet one beloved of all men in
all places where the universality of God in the earth has been proclaimed, where
the oneness of the Father as God is known and is consciously magnified in the
activities of individuals that proclaim the acceptable day of the Lord. Hence that
one John, the beloved in the earth - his name shall be John, and also at the
place where he met face to face [Peniel]. [GD's note: Could this mean that John,
the beloved, had been Jacob? See 3976-15, Par. R2*** below.]
When, where, is to be this one? In the hearts and minds of those that
have set themselves in that position that they become a channel through which
spiritual, mental and material things become one in the purpose and desires of
that physical body! [GD's note: Beginning of new age of spiritual awakening?
See 5749-5, Par. 5--7; 281-38, Par. 16.]
As to the material changes that are to be as an omen, as a sign to those
that this is shortly to come to pass – as has been given of old, the sun will be
darkened and the earth shall be broken up in divers places - and THEN shall be
PROCLAIMED - through the spiritual interception in the hearts and minds and
souls of those that have sought His way - that HIS star has appeared, and will
point [pause] the way for those that enter into the holy of holies in themselves.
For, God the Father, God the Teacher, God the director, in the minds and hearts
of men, must ever be IN those that come to know Him as first and foremost in the
seeking of those souls; for He is first the GOD to the individual and as He is
exemplified, as He is manifested in the heart and in the acts of the body, of the
individual, He becomes manifested before men. And those that seek in the latter
portion of the year of our Lord (as ye have counted in and among men) '36, He
[He, Christ Spirit?] will appear. [See 3976-1, Reports below*** (12/20/34 EC note
in re '36), and 3976-10, Par. 4-A, 5-A on 2/8/32 in re '36 changes.]
*** Reports: 12/20/34 EC, on awaking from Ck. Physical Rdg. 287-16, said "Oh,
that beautiful music!" When questioned, he said "I was about to have an
experience when you woke me up. I heard the most beautiful music. I seemed
to get the impression that things are going to happen up in the air that have
never been experienced or seen by people before - war, turmoil and strife
(Armageddon) - wars and rumors of wars; that they will be stopped by the forces
in the heavens."

TEXT OF READING 114-1 F 42 (Registered Nurse)
This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street,
Virginia Beach, Va., this 1st day of August, 1927, in accordance with request
made by self - Miss [114].
1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the Universe, and the Universal
Forces, giving the conditions that are as personalities, latent and exhibited, in the
present life. Also the former appearances in the earth's plane, giving the time,
place, and the name, and that in that life which built or retarded the development
for the entity, giving the abilities of the present entity and that to which it may
attain, and how.
2. EC: We have the entity here, and those relations with the Universe and
Universal Forces as appear in the present earth's plane in urges and inclinations
as are manifested, irrespective and with will's forces in the present earth's plane.
3. In entering we find the entity comes (What an array!) under the influence of
Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, with changing influences in many of the phases of the
moon, with the influence of Saturn and Mars. Hence, beware of ever becoming
involved in any condition where firearms will be an important factor as to settling
of same.
4. Under these influences, irrespective of the will's force, then, we find these
conditions as exist with this entity in the present experience through the earth's
plane:
5. Under the influence of Mercury, Jupiter and Venus, we find one inclined to be
studious, especially delving into conditions requiring study of same in detail and
in minutia. Hence we find - with those other influences - the entity would and
could make of self a wonderful bacteriologist; for the love as is manifest in the
body - while of the nature that is sincere - is toward the peoples as a whole,
rather than as of an INDIVIDUAL thing or condition, see? that is, the body loves
in groups, or in purpose, or in intent, rather than of the individual or individual
condition. This - while not in that way of being a fault - produces many
misunderstandings for the entity, and while the friendships and the ties that are
made by the entity are sincere - are lasting - are true - yet many misunderstand
on account of such conditions. These are not as faults, but the body should apply
will's force in making self better understood, and not work on - or for self -
hardships that are often causing depressions and being misunderstood.
6. As to those greater influences in which the will's forces are applied in this
body, irrespective of the planetary conditions, we find:
7. While the body is not of the superstitious nature as would be termed in some
respects, yet we find omens, wishing stones, or any conditions wherein there is
special sentiment or special attachments in any way - these mean much to the
body, and - APPLIED correctly - may often lead to better understanding of the
ways, the means, and the whyfores of much of the discord as is seen by
attempted combinations, especially toward marital relations.

8. In the appearances and the influences these have on this entity, we find these
are - as it were - of a PECULIAR influence, for these become VERY decided at
times, especially when the body mentally, physically, is influenced by those
influences as exerted through the Neptune influence, for:
9. As is seen in the appearance before this, we find in the land now known as
Holland, and in the name Bertrand. The entity finds that the development there -
while in the position of one that was as a layman, or as of the populace, yet much
was wrought in the entity's development through that period - while this
experience brought many of the CHANGES as appear in the inmost feelings of
the entity at the present, and especially the colors - blue - and of the various
effects that the scenery and the wind mills, and the study of Holland has upon the
entity - which, if studied correctly and followed to its end, would be PROOF much
for this entity and others of those conditions as may be re-entering the inmost
forces of an entity, and are almost brought entirely through to consciousness.
10. In the one before this we find in that period when there were changes being
wrought in the land now known as Peru. The entity then among those that were
in power just before the conquest, or the entering in of those that conquered or
brought havoc to the peoples of that land. The entity, while not in the position of
power as would be called direct, yet serving the peoples - the common peoples -
the masses - through the influence that the entity exerted ON ones in power, and
then in the name Iciona. The entity gained and lost through this experience,
bringing to many the better understanding, yet in self's OWN application we find
the entity disregarded many of those conditions that it lived in one way and
presented self to be as another way - this bringing those consternations in the
inmost self. In the present urge there is seen often indecision by the entity
especially when same is related to religious tenents of any nature, or of those
relations as exist between sex - this becomes, as it were, a bugbear to the entity,
and the entity finds self often put-to to understand just why these inner feelings
should arise, when it feels so certain that it KNOWS its own position; yet inwardly
feels it isn't true.
11. In the one before this we find in the period of the destruction as wrought in
Persian lands in the invading forces from the western portion of that known as
India. The entity then among those carried captive into the land, and brought
much - even though it suffered physically - to the peoples with whom the entity
then associated, and in the name Andiz. In the urge as is seen from this
experience, the entity dislikes anything pertaining to the nature of bondage, and
is well in that way of rendering assistance to the needy, no matter what their
position may be in the social world or field. This period the entity gained much,
and is that urge and influence felt most in the life's experience, the life's work, in
the present experience in the earth's plane - for when there came in the earlier
portion of the present experience that of those conditions that brought distresses
in oppression in the physical sense, these urges became more active, and as the
body pushed forth its own efforts there came that intense desire to help, and the
love - as given - for groups or masses, or conditions, rather than individuals -
becomes the developing and manifesting self.

12. In the one before this we find in the Mongoloid country, when those peoples
were studying - as it were - the relations of the then position of the peoples to
those that were heard of in the west and south. The entity then among the
teachers of that day, and - as is seen - none of the explorations through the
geological or archaeological findings has astonished, or even been other than "It
should have been found before" in the mind of the entity. In this period the name
Sibio, and the entity gained and lost, through not being able to prevent the
jealousies arising when there SEEMINGLY was not need of same, by and
through those with whom same was associated.
13. As to the abilities in the present earth's plane, those - as will be seen - are
many, but lie especially in those lines of study and application of self towards the
details for the uplifting of those that occupy positions that are of a submerged
nature, on account of living - or of improper understanding OF living. These,
then, relate to nursing, medicine, teaching of the care of the body, of the care of
person, and the relations one with another - but first make self secure in the
desires of the heart being made One with that creative force that gives, "Study to
show self approved unto Him, the Giver of all good and perfect gifts, " and keep
SELF unspotted from the world.
14. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND OF READING 136-4 F 20
B1. 6/6/25 Letter: "At first I thought readings on dreams silly but [900]'s seemed
to have brought about such startling results that even a skeptic may not ignore
their worth. Will you please interpret - give in detail the lessons to be learned and
better understanding my mind may get from the following dreams?"
TEXT OF READING 136-4 F 20 (Bride)
This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 322 Grafton Avenue,
Dayton, Ohio, this 9th day of June, 1925.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [136], of ...,
W. Va., with the various dreams this body has had. I will give you the date and
the dream, and you will give the interpretation and lesson this body is to learn
from these, in a manner understandable to this body….
6. (Q) Early Friday morning, June 5, in Room 230 Greenbrier Hotel, White
Sulphur Springs, I dreamed I saw a woman stretched on a bedspring and the
spring seemed to sway backward. I dreamed that something inside of me said,
[136], you will awaken to something different, and I suddenly felt a smile on my
face.
(A) In this we see the relation awakening in the subconscious forces of the
conditions that become existent in physical, mental and the spiritual of the entity's
awakening. As is seen in the first, with the body prone on springs, bending
backward, that is the relation of the conditions made manifest by the new
conditions. In the voice, we find the awakening of the superconscious to the
subconscious forces of the condition, and an omen of good pleasure, giving the
joys that shall be found in such relations in the consummation of same.

BACKGROUND OF READING 136-12 F 21
B1. 8/25/25 Husband [900] submitted dreams of [136] for interpretation.
TEXT OF READING 136-12 F 21 (Bride)
This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 322 Grafton Avenue,
Dayton, Ohio, this 27th day of August, 1925, in accordance with request made by
self, through husband, [900].
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, here. These are as we see
the presentations of conditions weighed between subconscious and the
conscious forces in a cosmic or subjection of the consciousness, yet through the
vision of that physical force of the subconscious are brought to the
consciousness in dream-vision, see? and may be used as lessons for a more
perfect understanding of those forces as may be manifest in the physical world.
Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Sunday morning, August 23, 1925, at home in Deal. "Dreamed I had an
earache and was waiting for my mother in front of Katz & Bestoff's, a drug store
in my old home, New Orleans. My mother came and my ear hurt so, I wanted her
to take me to a doctor. 'You don't need one, ' she said. 'You can overcome that
yourself.' I did and it so surprised me that I went driving with my friend C. C. and
told her all about it. 'What you need, ' she said, 'is Christian Science. You ought
to try it, for that is Christian Science. Become a Christian Scientist.' 'No, ' I
replied, 'I have my own Science - Jewish Science. I cured myself, just naturally.'"
(A) In this we see the presentation of the truths as are manifest in the physical
world that are loathe to be gathered in a physical experience; for as is seen, the
forces which are manifest to bring the relief to physical force are not of a one
faith, but a oneness in faith in the God-force manifest in the individual, see?
Study then those truths, for they remain a oneness, whether Jewish, Gentile,
Greek, or heathen.
4. (Q) Tuesday morning, August 25, 1925, at home in Deal. "My husband had a
four leaf clover in a soap dish. Something happened and I said to him: 'You see, I
told you that would not bring you good luck. It has brought you bad luck.'"
(A) This again is those attemptings of the subconscious forces to gain those
lessons through those conditions that are, as considered in a physical life, of an
omen or good luck, see? Then the greater lesson as would be gained: Truth and
the lesson of truth comes from cause and effect, the omen being that under such
and such relations or conditions they point to certain laws being carried out.
Nothing happens by chance, nothing is as good luck, as commonly called, for the
cause must be present to produce that which is real….

TEXT OF READING 137-13 M 26
This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 322 Grafton Avenue,
Dayton, Ohio, this 30th day of January, 1925, in accordance with request made
by self - [137].
1. GC: You will have before you the body of [137], located on the floor ... Streets,
New York City, and the enquiring mind of this body. You will also have before
you all the readings, or all the information that has come from the Universal
Forces to the body, [137], through the body, Edgar Cayce, or through his own
manifestations, including information on horoscope, on physical, mental and
spiritual. You will also answer questions as I ask them on all of these readings on
this given information, in a manner understandable to the mind of [137].
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, and the enquiring mind of this body, with the
information as understood by this mind, both as to own interpretation and that as
given. There may be much said as to the conditions regarding this information,
and the action of such information correlated with that understanding of this
body, [137]. These, as given, will be given, that the body, through its own mental
forces better understands that relation of self to the forces that be, and the
relation of self, through mental and material forces, to others….
8. (Q) On Thursday night, January 15, 1925, as the body Edgar Cayce was about
to give a psychic reading 137-12 in Apartment 106 of the Cambridge Hotel, New
York City, [137] saw a kind of bright shining star (very brilliant) over the body of
Edgar Cayce. It was seen for only a fraction of a second. Explain, please, what
this flash was, and what it meant or should mean to the body, [137].
(A) We do not find this occurring in Apartment 106. The manifestation, though,
as seen, or felt, or experienced, by this body, [137], at this time, was that
collaboration of the psychic forces meeting together from each vibration, and
from the higher developed forces of the body became physical manifestations in
this time. This, then, should be the understanding for the body: The strength, the
ability, the brightness, the possibility, the exalted forces as are manifested in the
body itself, and the manifestations should be reverenced with that association of
star to the human mind. We are through for the present.
