This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach. Va., this 15th day of May, 1934, in accordance with request made by Mrs. [255], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mildred Davis and L. B. Cayce.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes.
2. In seeking to make self, with all of the material, mental and spiritual development, in accord with divine influences and purposes, those that make their lives and activities in material or mental in accord with the laws that are manifested in the spiritual attributes seen in a material world, the application makes the growth as is spoken of; ye grow in grace, in knowledge, in understanding of the ways He would have thee go.
3. Not merely with lip service. Not merely with mental desire - that is born of that which is the rule or standard of application of that the mind, the body finds to do - but in truth and in the inner self crying, "LORD, USE ME! LET THAT WHICH THOU SEEST IS BEST BE DONE IN ME, THROUGH ME, AT THIS TIME. LET MY MIND, MY SOUL, MY SOUL BODY, SEEK IN KEEPING WITH THAT, AND THOSE WAYS AND CHANNELS TO MAKE KNOWN IN MATERIAL THINGS TO THOSE WHO SEEK TO KNOW, THOSE THAT DEPEND UPON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SOUL AND MIND OF THIS BODY, THAT THEIR REDEEMER LIVETH AND DOETH ALL THINGS WELL."
4. Let that mind be in thee that was in Him that said, "Lord, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not my will but thine be done in me and through me just now."
5. We are through with this reading.
