(Q) Wednesday morning, November 25, 1925, at home. "I was
sitting at a table eating but more than eating - I was
packing it in. There was chocolate cake and cocoanut cake
and all kinds of sweets and goodies - I just had a great time
eating it all up."
(A) In this there is presented to the entity, in this
emblematical manner and way, the forces that are at work, as
it were, in the physical being of the entity. That to the
physical is as this: to hinder the desires, to hinder those
natural inclinations and those better developments, for the
physical to manifest in the physical world those normal
conditions of same, is to bring on self those condemning
forces of the physical being in the physical health in the
material manner, see? for as is seen, the entity recognizes
in this the opposite from that being enacted in the daily
life, see? yet the entity sees that in this constraining of
self these detrimental conditions in a fashion, physically,
mentally, truly, are being brought to the body those
condition that bring detrimental effects. Then eat more
sweets, see? Not in excess, in moderation, for with all
things let them be done in moderation, in decency and in
order, and in a way keeping to these truths as set in the way
as has been set for the law as is known to the entity
concerning that necessary in self to bring the best normal
gift to the world of the position occupied by entity. Then
do it.
(Q) Yet I have eaten very little of late.
(A) (Interrupting) As given, these as have been followed,
see? Comply with this as given.
(Q) "Back in our old house in New Orleans, I saw my old
beau, J. S. I cannot recall the exact details of this, but I
remember it referred to some trouble in which J. went into a
room and took off his coat. Recall and interpret."
(A) In this we find the mental forces of entity attempting
to weigh in self's own forces those conditions as are
apparent in the physical conditions of entity, as in relation
to individuals, see, and is of a mental condition rather than
that of an interpreting of forces as are manifest in the
present life, for this should be acted upon through own
mental forces and not from here.
(Q) "Was back in Deal as this summer with Ma and her cousin
F. B. I had on a gingham dress and Ma said to Mrs. B.:
'Doesn't she look much better in that dress?' 'No, I don't
think she looks well anyway,' replied Mrs. B.!"
(A) In this again we find the entity attempting to find in
self, in self's action, justification of conditions, of
self's actions in the eyes of others, and in this way and
manner the entity builds then into self those conditions that
make for a barrier between individuals, through the small
things or little things as regard action, as regard dress, as
regard desire, as regard to the various conditions. Then, as
has been given aforetime to this entity: Watch the tongue.
(Q) Friday morning, November 27, 1925 at home. "I was in an
automobile accident and suffered an injury that seemed to
affect my brain. It seemed to be a concussion. [
900] was
phoning Cayce for a quick reading."
(A) In this we find this correlation of those conditions as
have been presented regarding automobile accident - 42 - see,
and as is seen, this is a warning to the entity of that force
as may be applied in self, in that when, in the way as goeth
about street, as goeth about auto, as goes about the modes,
the manners, the ways of traffic, to guard by mental forces
the action of same. As a warning of a general nature rather
than of a specific accident, see? yet we will find, soon
there will be seen by the entity an accident; not of self,
someone else, see? Then care should be taken as regarding
the actions of self, especially regarding cars, regarding
traffic, regarding all those relations as being separated;
that is, when alone, see? Then don't go alone so often.
(Q) "Went into store and asked for 10 cents worth of jelly
beans and they handed me just 4 beans. 'Is that all I get
for 10 cents?' I asked. They told me just 4. 'Well, then,
how much are chocolates?' I asked, thinking to buy them
instead of the beans. 'Three for $1.00,' came the reply.
'Just 3?' I asked. 'Three,' came the reply. 'Then you can
keep your chocolates too,' I flatly stated an walked out."
(A) This shows to the entity the inconsistency at times in
self, as regards the various conditions that arise in the
daily life, if the entity would but take the time to consider
same from every viewpoint. For, as inconsistent as the
prices are asked of entity, as inconsistent do many actions
of self appear to others.
We are through for the present.
