(Q) Do you find Miss [
1483] of ..., Ohio, a happy choice
for me to marry?
(A) This as we find should be rather approached from the
mental attitude or aptitude, or from the desire of the body's
seeking [
1483] as respecting the associations and activities
through the experiences in the earth.
These as we find have had associations that require that
there be a close association. As to whether in the office
or capacity of mate or companion, depends upon the manner
in which each may approach such a condition.
For this, to be sure, presents a state of associations that
are often bound by what is termed by some as propriety, or
as in keeping with the moral or religious tend or trend, or
the abilities and activity in the mental and the material
world.
These as we find all considered, it might be desirable for
the working out of the associations and of those activities
that might bring - or COULD bring - into the experience of
each that which would bring an opportunity for developments
from the SOUL'S standpoint to each.
Yet these become choices that are so much of the material
world and are bound by material surroundings, that unless
they each find that their spiritual attributes of thought
and purpose and of ideal are alike, it would create
differences.
Hence WE would give rather that the choices be made between
their own communion as one with another.
(Q) Have you constructive suggestions as to what should be
my attitude, or thought toward her?
(A) As just indicated. If the ideals, if the desires as
to the purpose of activity in the material world are in
accord, these then will bring harmonious material
experiences. Though they offer ofttimes their own earthly
hardships, if the purposes and the ideals of the individuals
are in accord, then they may be very sure that the outcome
of their oneness of purpose will bring a strength that will
build constructive experiences in the sojourn of each in this
experience.
(Q) Is there another entity equally or more desirable for
me to marry?
(A) This again becomes rather a matter of
self-interpretation than that from an outside force. These
may be better judged by their association and the
application of their experiences in the earth, and then the
needs of each to be paralleled and judged for themselves.
For to give to any soul that this or that IS THE way is
to take from that soul that which is its birthright.
While in material applications as in physical conditions
existent in a body, these may be given as for that which
is toward corrective measures. Then the choice of
application is made by the individual.
But to give that companionship that is so much akin to the
creating of the environ for each soul's activity and for the
making of channels through which other souls may be given an
opportunity for entrance or for activity in a material world
- the choices must be made in the individuals.
(Q) Does it seem correct for me to make the trip to ...,
Ohio for New Year's Day? and how long should I plan to
remain there?
(A) As has just been indicated, if there are those
precautionary measures given that have been heretofore
outlined, and as we find still existent, then this would
be well. Not only for the material change but for the
mental anticipation and the mental conditions as created
by the change in the environmental forces.
But forget not, there is much work of a spiritual nature
to be done by self. And know, as the strength increases
in the physical, it offers the opportunities for the better
expression that may become more and more applicable in the
experiences of those whom the entity may contact.
And as has ever been, those then that are the nearer and the
dearer - by the material and mental ties - become the first
to whom such a message may come; and to those of such an
environ that may bring the strength for resistances as well
as the cooperative and compatible activities for planning
the actions of the entity in its present sojourn.
(Q) Have you any definite suggestions or cautions concerning
the management of my life after arrival in ..., Ohio?
(A) None other than as has been intimated or outlined for
the entity. Know, the basis of all thy planning must be
in that which is prompted from the spiritual and the ideal
import. In WHATEVER service or whatever activity, or
whatever association, let those impelling forces as arise
from that thou knowest, thou feelest, be expressed - ye must
be about thy Father's, thy Brother's, business; that the
earth may be better for THOU having lived in same.
For each soul is a channel in manifested form through which,
in the body-activities, others may take hope, others may know
that thy Redeemer LIVETH and IS ever at hand.
(Q) Do you see me making a trip South alone, or with my
parents?
(A) This we do not find in the immediate, though this may
come a little later - in a month, two months, three months;
but not the better in the immediate as we find.
(Q) Would you advise that I return to ..., N.Y.?
(A) That again depends much upon the stability of self in
purpose and in activity, and that environ created by the very
words and deeds and acts of self in the changed environment.
While that in ... is ideal in many respects, there are ties
and there are longings in the environ near and around [Ohio]
that - ALL things considered, if the environ is cooperative,
coordinating - would be well to consider; in the light that
these offer not only independence but dependence - if it is
to be made in the environs created by the very changes
wrought in thy mental as well as thy physical experience.
(Q) Can you give me the name of a good osteopath in [Ohio]?
(A) This had best be made in conjunction with the present
osteopath, that there may be the same consideration given
by being recommended to one as in the same line of thought
and as to what treatment is necessary. If such is done by
the present osteopath, then there may be expected much better
cooperation and coordination in the carrying out of that
which has already been begun.
These suggestions then should come through their regular
channels, should they not?
(Q) Any further advice or counsel that would be helpful
at this time?
(A) Keep in a constructive attitude mentally, physically.
For the Mind is the Builder, as well as those activities
created by the environmental influences of the body AND the
mind.
Hence be not overcome with the doubts and fears, but overcome
them with the consciousness that He maketh not afraid.
We are through with this reading.

the reading that arrived the night we left for ... [Ohio].
It brought peace to my brother's heart as well as to mine.
The directions given were most satisfying and reassuring.
God bless you!...
"My brother stood the trip to ... very well, and I am sure
will hold his own, during the next few weeks of adjusting
to new circumstances."

for him to have this before setting out for his life, in
the working world...is it safe and advisable for [
1173]
to go to Chicago to resume studies...?"
8/03/37 His letter: "My physical health seems virtually
restored and it is a great blessing and a true exaltation
to feel the transformation... I like to think that the
great sympathy I feel for you and your work helps a little
in its way on the inner plane..." [He submitted questions,
including these: 'Is an afternoon nap advisable? Have I
made spiritual progress, and along what lines should I work?
Does the book, THE I AM DISCOURSES reputedly dictated by
Saint Germain have more truth than error and is it of value
to me? Has my relationship with Miss [
1483] of ..., Ohio,
now in Paris, France, improved spiritually? Will I soon
know the answer to the problem of marriage with her? Any
other advice in this connection? Any other advice?']

your family, as with ours. My parents [[
1266] and [
1224]]
have just completed their 50th wedding anniversary, for
which we children organized a musicale that was attended
by 500 friends from ... and other cities. I feel that the
spirit of good will manifested on this occasion will have
a lasting effect upon my mother and father. As one of the
children I stood in the receiving line, and so great was the
energy released into me from shaking hands with all these
good friends of good will, that I felt new energy for
several days. The next morning, too, after only four hours
sleep, I felt fresh and completely rested. I asked Father
how he felt, and he said the same. I thought this would
interest you...
"On a separate sheet I am writing you questions for a Life

[Questions as to marriage with [

10/29/37 [
1173]'s ltr. to EC:
Chicago, Illinois
Dear Mr. Cacey [Cayce]:
Thank you for your kind letter, for your Good Will, and
for your spiritual cooperation in producing the clear
and illuminating reading for [
1462].
The reading will be of great service to her as a guide.
I shall see that she gets it in a more mature year when
its meaning will have more carrying power than at present.
In the mean time I have quoted parts of it to her, believing
that what seem to be the salient points should be brought to
her subconscious - or has that, perhaps, already been done?
In view of our close association in no less than three life
experiences, it is small wonder that we have been attracted
to one another.
My sister [
1158] has very generously asked me to have a life
reading made for another dear friend with whom I have had
a much longer association. The continued delay in my
understanding the proper future course for us is both
distressing to me and embarrassing to her. I shall
earnestly pray that a great flood of light and understanding
will be released through you on this subject. I hope it
will be harmony for you to have the reading very soon,
though of course I shall be grateful for it whenever it
comes. Please send copies to [
1158], to me, and to [
1483],
... Hotel, ... Ave., Chicago, Illinois. Questions to be
asked and birth information are enclosed with this letter.
With kindest regards to you all, [
1173]
11/23/37 See
1483-1, Par. 42-A--48-A in re advisability of
marriage with [
1173], why he is slow making up his mind,
etc., indicating [
1483] was married to [
1173]'s friend
in early American sojourn and that she was unfaithful to
her husband by having relationship with [
1173].

relationships with [
1483] and possibilities of marriage
this time.
