Edgar Cayce Readings, 378-12

(Life Reading Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, that are latent and manifested in the personalities of the present entity, [378].
In entering the present experience, we find those influences that may be termed purely astrological being rather secondary - even in impulses - to those from environs through earth's experiences. Not that the sojourns on the planets have not had, and do not have in the present, their influence; but these may be termed rather as moods for this entity, save at a few particular conjunctions of planetary influences when these have had more to do even then - with the material aspects (as may be termed) then mental urges. As in 1889, 1898, 1909, 1917-18-19. True, these periods had influences. In the first, rather as to relationships with individuals. In the second, or '98, with things AND with individuals; while in '09, rather the relationships that were centralized (apparently) in efforts of the entity, yet were influences more of the astrological nature if looked at in the present; while those conditions in '17-18-19 dealt more particularly with material affairs.
Then, as to those things that in the present experience have to do with urges that make for moods, as may be said (this does not indicate that the entity is one that may be called moody, or one of such eccentric nature, yet these ARE as impulses):
One often called hard-headed in some respects, determined in others; given to full expression of self, not as in a controversial manner so much, yet looked upon at times by associates throughout the experience as rather one that might BECOME controversial. Yet, withal, rather given to orderliness; that is rather exceptional in entities or individuals born in April; rather given to detail in associations with individuals and with groups, and about things or associations.
These are from impulses arising from sojourns in Mercury (as the ruling influence; hence high mental ability) and in Venus (which makes for a great deal of sentiment). These conditions, weighed with the impulses as given, necessarily make for the characteristic in the entity of being one that is pleasant to deal with, yet able to hold self's own and to carry the points that are set as the policy with or about self.
From planetary sojourns also, we find, there have been those periods in the activities of self in material associations - from Jupiter combined with Saturn - that have made for seemingly unsatisfactory relations, by the associations through certain periods; as in '28, '30, '31; yet these have brought to the entity in the present a period of mental expansion upon which a great deal more material successes (in associates and self) will be builded in the next three years - or until the change.
As to the appearances, then, and their influences in the activities of the entity in the present experience:
In the one before this we find the entity was during those periods when there was the entering in of those peoples that came as settlers to the land near the entity's present entering; not OF the Dutch people, but WITH those peoples.
Hence, the entity was called, or would be materially classed among those that first settled in what is now lower Manhattan. And there have been periods when the entity in its visions, through those periods of sleep, has appeared to be living over some of those conditions, those experiences during that period; not of Stuyvesant's rule, but at or near the time when the changes were made in the exchange of the island for those in the northern portion of South America.
The entity then gained through those experiences, for the entity rose in power to a place that in the present would be called a political office; yet in that period was rather the service of the recorder of those settlings and those holdings of the peoples, gradually rising to the position where all came to look to the entity (then in the name Carl Herberger) as a settler of differences - or a judge - in the period.
In the present this has made the ability for the entity to often act in the capacity of an intermediary where differences of opinions have arisen among groups, whether closely associated with self or those known rather in the social manner.
Hence there might have been in the present experience an advantageous activity for self in the defining of law; yet - from other experiences - there has ever been that which has made in self the undesirability to become one that would set self up as a judge.
In this experience also comes much of the abilities in self to judge human nature from an intuitive or a mental point of view, that makes for an exceptional counsel by the entity to many in its activity; the affability, the sociability, the ability to be a salesman arises from that experience.
Before this we find the entity was in that land now known as the Fatherland, during those periods when there were the gatherings of individuals to act as a body in the defense of an ideal - or during the Crusade that was started from this land.
The entity then was among those who joined in, and went in person to those lands about the Holy Land; and the entity served its fellow man, and served the purpose to which those peoples had been called - in the name Lebowitzch.
In the experience the entity gained and lost, and was among the few that returned to the home land - while broken in body, disappointed in people. This made for the doubts and fears, and was the period during the experience that may be counted as a period of retrogression. Yet, as there arose those that began to give rather the freedom of interpretations to the visions of those that sought through the words as left through the saints and patriarchs of old, the entity rose to self's inner visions - and became a power for good in reestablishing those lands particularly around that which has been known in later periods as Essen and Frankfort-on-the-Main; and established relationships with other lands in the declining sojourn in that experience.
At present we find capabilities in the associations of others and the entity, dealing with abilities of entities or individuals in recording their associations one with another. Hence also the inclination towards making THINGS that have to do with such relationships, being a part of the entity's inner make-up. And abilities also to BALANCE self in the mental, the material, the social, and all activities in the earth's experience. Hence the entity is a good player as well as a good worker, yet may never speculate to any great success - but rather to the detriment of self - from such associations in that experience.
Before this we find the entity was in that land known as the Roman, during those periods when there was the accepting and presenting of those tenets to those peoples of the land, from that land which had been attempted to be subdued in the period.
The entity then was among those that were in secondary power when Nero ruled in the land, and the entity - in the name Pomllomo - had charge of those records that were kept as reports from the varied tetrarchs throughout the lands that were subdued or put under service - or surveillance - by the Caesars of the period.
The entity lost and gained, through the attempt to be impartial, undesirous of working against the activities of the ruler; yet the inner sympathies were with that experienced by the entity through the various travels that were necessary to make the closer associations with the representatives in the varied lands.
Then the entity became associated with many of those that are in the entity's own household in the present, and their contacts, their aids, their fallings away, are necessary for the developments of all so associated in the present.
Before this we find the entity was in that land now known as the Persian, during those periods when there were the gatherings of many peoples, during those sojourns of those gathered for the aid in body as received from the teacher in the hills.
The entity then was among those that came from what was the Grecian land, coming under the influence; for he was healed in body through the contact in that period with Uhjltd, the leader of this particular peoples; and the entity rose to a place of prominence, then, as would be termed today (or importance, as in that period), for he made associations and connections between those of the various lands for the exchange of the commodities, and aided those to establish an association that became helpful to all in that period.
Hence in the present those things that have to do with influences upon the physical activities are of particular interest to the entity, and bring for self much that is most satisfactory in its mental contemplation of the activities in a mental life of an individual. Not as religion, but as an outgrowth of the thoughts of individuals from their contact or association with that which is religious thought.
Before this we find the entity was in that land known as the Egyptian, during those periods when turmoils and strifes arose.
The entity then was among those that were called in from that land known as the Atlantean, to act as the mediator between the natives and the king and the priest at the time.
The entity was among those that were banished with the priest, yet remained true to those tenets that were brought during those sojourns in the Nubian land; returning with the priest, aiding in the re-establishing of the Temple Beautiful, the Temple of Records, and the beginnings of the distribution of the tenets or aids as they were given out to others - in the name Hept-supht.
In the experience the entity gained, for he was among those that later became the supervisors in the building of the Pyramid that is the mystery as yet - today.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, that to which it may attain - and how:
As seen, there remains that self finds self's associations and relations with the Creative Forces, that build towards the understanding of the relationships of man manifesting the Creative Forces of a material world, and man's relationship to man.
Keep the ways open, that the voice of those that aided in the activities through the sojourns in the earth may reach the inner self; thus arousing the inner man - or the soul - to its OWN possibilities in the present; materially, mentally, spiritually.
We are through for the present.
