Edgar Cayce Readings, 1604-1

(Life Reading Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: (In going back over years from present - " - 1935 - '34 - some disturbances, and a change of attitude - '33 - '21 - catastrophes - '86 - yes, that's a change - " etc., on back to birth date.)
Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called Mrs. [1604].
In giving the interpretations of the records, we find that in the present experience little might be gained from even the interpretations of the astrological aspects - though these have in the present experience had their influence, and there has been an adherence at times to those influences.
But in giving the interpretations from here, there is the desire and the hope to become a helpful influence in the entity's applying the abilities that are latent and manifested in the present experience.
These the entity has applied, as given, in this or that direction. Hence in the present there is rather the need of applying that which may be of a greater concept, a greater understanding as to the spiritual truths and opportunities and possibilities that lie within the scope of the entity's present activity.
Portions of the astrological aspects may be touched upon, in the material sojourns, or in between same, to indicate how or why there are certain definite urges within the present experience.
Yet there is much that may be accomplished by the entity in this present sojourn, dependent upon what it does about those influences that are chosen by the entity as the spiritual or creative influence in the life.
As to the appearances of the entity in the earth, then, we find these have been many. And this entity's activities, or the entity's chart astrologically, with the experiences of its life, would offer rather an interesting study; because of the judgements that might be drawn by those who would draw comparisons between astrological aspects in an entity's experience and the material sojourns.
And such a study would be well for those who seek to gain a greater comprehension of how that, with the application, there are the changed influences in the experiences of individuals.
For as we have indicated, rather than because of the urge forcing an activity in this or that direction, it is what one does about the Creative Forces that brings an influence - or because of what the entity HAS done in its experiences or sojourns before this in the activities of the earth.
As to the sojourns in the earth, then, we find:
Before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity during those periods of the early settlings; when there were considerations given by those peoples of the entity's native land (then England).
And the entity was among those who came to the new land as one to be used among those who were to be given in exchange for tobacco, and the products that were being brought to other lands.
Yet with the activities and abilities of the entity during the periods of the voyage, this did not come about. For rather did the entity become a companion of one who was in authority as to the bringing of the ships and the various activities of same pertaining to commerce.
Hence the entity during that experience lived in the lands between what is now Philadelphia and New York, AS the companion to the leader or the owner - in part - of the ships.
Yet the entity in its APPLICATION from the MATERIAL standpoint was not well spoken of. But from its own mental and spiritual application it gained. For it was never unmindful of those whom it might aid during its activities, and this attention to and labors for those who were not as well blessed in material activities brought a greater concern.
Hence we find from those periods that Venus has played and does play a great part in the experience. Hence we find the entity in the present enjoying and desiring study, being a great reader; being well acquainted with the happenings in many lands, the activities of those who have become as frontiersmen in the various phases of human relationships in many lands.
Hence the entity in the present has enjoyed luxuries; strange cases and strange places; strange activities. All of these have become a part of the entity's experience, latently and manifestedly; whether in relationships between activities in sports or water, or commerce or trade, of individual groups.
Hence it may be said that the entity is equipped with a wealth of knowledge which would make for a helpfulness in the experience of many, if it were to give same as recorded experiences, in its writings, during these periods of turmoils and strifes that are at hand and are arising in the economic forces and influences, the misunderstandings between labor and capital.
For the purpose of each soul's entrance into materiality is to be a channel of blessings to others. Not for self, but losing sight of self and giving that which is the greater concept of the relationships that souls bear to the Creative Forces - and the MANNER in which these may be expressed, manifested or experienced by individuals in their dealings with their fellow men.
Hence may the entity's abilities, in the manners as indicated, live on and on. For the good that each soul does in any experience is that body AND mind with which it is clothed in the next experience.
Before that, then, we find the entity was in the English land as it is now called, and when there were those settlings of the peoples from the Mediterranean. Not in the earlier portion but during that period of the earlier Roman activity in that land.
The entity then was among those who were born, as it were, of the first settlers in that land.
Material hardships were the experience of the entity, until there were the findings of the minerals in the land; as salt, coal, zinc; that became a part of the foundations for those about the entity, or with whom the entity was associated, becoming individuals of affluence.
Then there arose activities during the entity's growth when the entity was looked upon as one to whom all was to be given, as for the opportunities to become channels through which there might be activities of rulers or those who were to be in authority.
Hence we find the entity entered into the channel through which some of the earlier kings of the English land came INTO activity; being prompted by and being given, during their developing period, the tenets that were the activities of the entity then - known as Duane.
In the experience the entity gained and lost; and yet material things that have been a portion of the entity's present experience arise from the NATURAL resources of the soil - as well as much of the abilities to maintain its activities among its associates and those peoples of affluence and in authority in various social as well as commercial fields of activity in many portions of the land.
And most of these arise from lands and areas that are only to the entity as places, while not a great deal as to their conditions has become a consciousness of the entity.
Hence as has been indicated, the abilities of the entity to make for such relationships as between those in various stages of human experience and development are well to be used. Or it is well that the self be expended in same, that much of the arrogance that was a portion of the experience during that entire English sojourn may be met.
For constantly is the soul-entity meeting self in its activities, in its relationships. And what it does about creative influences in its experience makes for that which either becomes a developing or a retarding.
Before that we find the entity was in the Grecian and Turkish land, as now called, but during those periods when there was the subduing of the lands that had been in authority in many manners, by the Grecians.
Those periods offered the channels for the entity's activities in all the pleasures, as would be termed today, in material surroundings; and activities that would bring ease and comfort were a portion of the entity's experience then, as Adoflin.
The entity then was a companion, and of a large household of those who were offspring from the body; and the entity enjoyed much of the fruits of the labors of many of its own household as well as the activities about those with whom the household was associated.
From those influences we find that certain character of pearls, of corals, any jewelry that would be rose-colored or red, may be and would be well to be about the entity, because of the very vibrations of the sea as creative forces, and as activities through which there is the physical evolution. These become a portion of the entity's experience.
Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Gobi, during those periods when there were the activities from the land of Mu and On and Og, and the land of Saneid and those peoples in that now called the Egyptian land.
The entity then was among those of the household of the rulers who made overtures for associations and activities, first with those peoples from the Indo-China land, or the French portion of same - as well as the Indian land.
And the entity dwelt in the City of Gold.
In that period of experience the entity also gained and lost; gained through the counsels and activities as pertaining to bringing BETTER conditions for those who were of the laity or the workers.
For during those experiences there were still those who were entangled in matter, having more of the animal-like character or activity.
Hence we find in the present experience those things of interest that arise from strange places, strange associations, strange relationships become a portion of the entity's experience.
And the entity enjoys a good joke, as well as being able to create the environs or background for pleasure that is in itself constructive in the experiences of others.
For the entity then was a princess, and in the name Su-Sun.
Before that we find the entity was in the Yucatan or Mayan land, when there were those activities that destroyed the Atlantis land - or that portion of the Poseidian isle or city.
The entity was among those who journeyed to other lands, knowing much of the activities of the sons of Belial as well as the precautions and warnings that had been issued by the children of the Law of One.
Hence we find the entity was among those who in the early portions of that material sojourn entered into the new buildings, the new activity that became destructive because of the influences from the land of Og and On, and the activities that arose in the western portion of that particular period of sojourn.
For there, during the entity's experience, was the upheaval which settled so much in portions of that now known as the southwestern U.S.A.
In the experiences then the entity rose to that position of the priestess of the sacrificial activity. Much blood flowed by the hand of the entity during that sojourn.
Yet these are influences and forces in the present in which there is the desire to bring greater understanding and ease, and the very lack of such in the experiences of those whom the entity may contact.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, and that it may apply in the activities during this sojourn:
It has been indicated that there are the abilities to write so as to bring about a better comprehension, a better relation started between those in material power and those who labor day by day; or between the labor and capital, or between those who are in a position of high estate and those who are seeking for the better understanding and better relations. This is because of the very experiences, the very urges, the very abilities that have been a part of and have been builded by the entity through its search, its seeking, its reading.
Hence, as we would give: Seek to know the sources of those urges that arise within, for those understandings. For more and more are ye growing towards those urges that arise from the Uranian sojourn. While these urges to some become as eccentricities, or in the experience of others become very great extremes, ye through thy own abilities may bring the EXTREMES to correlate, coordinate, cooperate as one with another.
Then, let that light which has so oft prompted thee, in thy dealings with thy fellow man, shine OUT to those in dark places; who through disappointments, through fears of all natures, may come to know their true relationship with Creative Forces or God - and thus find the channel through which their dealings with their fellow man may bring peace and hope and the LACK of fear!
Ready for questions.
We are through for the present.
