Edgar Cayce Readings, 1613-1

(Life Reading Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: (In going back over years from present, to birth date - "Yes, we have the record here of that entity now known as or called Mr. [1613] - there's been a change in the COMBINATION of the name. And what an eventful experience, and a varied one, in the present! What a light has been hid!") ("Fjord Land.")
In giving the interpretations of the records here, as we find for this entity, they are given with the hope and desire to make same a helpful experience in the present activities of the entity.
Little of those astrological interpretations, that are necessary for some, are of import to this entity in its present stage or phase or strata of development.
Hence what to do with the abilities, how to be more helpful in the associations and the sources of the vital energies of the entity in the present, becomes more of that which is sought or desired by the entity in the present.
It is apparent that through the experiences and through this sojourn there has been the application of many phases of the entity's experiences as an active influence or force among the fellow man in sojourns through the earth.
There HAVE been periods when the entity, through various forms or manners of seeking, has touched - yea, for the moment opened - the wellspring of understanding. And then through infinite mysteries these have at times been shattered by the mysteries of the experiences in associations with others.
The desire, the hope in the present is to use self, self's abilities, for the awakening of hope, the arousing of faith to activity. And this is bringing that peace, that hope within the experience of self that is making this experience to become as it were the greater of all the experiences of the entity through the sojourns in the earth.
That there have been and are in the experience both joy and suffering, both honor and shame, is only an indication that all of these in their extremes meet ONLY in the Source of life, only in the WAY of understanding!
These become that upon which the entity meditates then the more often in the present. And with the application of that hope and desire, more and more may the way become easy and the burdens of life light.
For only in such may the true awakening come, the true consciousness of what the purposes of life are that in expressions of an individual among material things and matter constantly build HOPE.
For without that man indeed fails.
In giving then the interpretations for this entity of the records as we find them here, we find:
As indicated, the astrological aspects as urges from the interims of expression and manifestations in the material things become as naught, or nil in the activities.
And only the innate urges are indicated, that have been a part of the experiences through the present - of which the entity has gained and is gradually more and more gaining knowledge.
From the Jupiterian sojourn we find that inclination for the less and less of self, and more and more of the infinite; that must be manifested in the dealings with individuals.
For the personalities must be analyzed, studied; so that what IS the individuality, what IS the motivating force within the activities of an entity or individual may be understood.
Thus there may be an arousing to the consciousness that this physical body is indeed the temple of the living soul, and that in same is manifested the body, mind and soul - which must coordinate, cooperate in their activity through the giving of expressions in this material world.
And it is with the measure that we mete that it is measured to us again!
From Venus we find the sympathetic influence, the less and less of the ego; though, in the experiences of the entity in this sojourn there have been periods when the expression of same became a part of the life.
Yet these have been tried as it were by the fires of nature itself.
Also this influence casts out fear, thinketh no evil, bringeth no turmoil, desireth only for others. This is indeed then that love which is the basis for keeping in activity the influences that individuals may bear one for another.
In Mars AND Uranus we find the extremes, and madness - and turmoils; which have been a part of the experience, as indicated.
Yet all of these are coming to mean less and less, or to bear less and less upon that which is being manifested by this entity.
As to the appearances in the earth, then, we find these are quite varied; and only the few in the present bear upon the USEFULNESS of same through this experience that is left for the entity in this present sojourn. Not that these given are all, for RATHER have there been the MANY experiences. But:
Before this we find the entity coming to the land of the present sojourn, from the land of its present nativity - or from the Norse land. Then from Flaverstock(?) did the entity come to the land of the present sojourn, during those periods of the early activities for adventure and the discoveries of things that made for greater conveniences in the lives and experiences of individuals. Also it was when those things pertaining to manner or means of exchange brought with same fame and fortune, for and through the very possession of same.
Then the entity was in the name of Eric Olsensen. In the experience the entity gained, the entity lost; and the entity is applying and has applied in the present experience the lessons from that sojourn. And the entity may gain the more by the greater application; as in those experiences when there was the journeying into hardships, yea turmoils, yet through them there became the greater awakening as to the possibilities, as to the probabilities.
For as thoughts take hold, and as Mind is the Builder, these then become the storehouses of knowledge - that is power, which if applied in CONSTRUCTIVE manner brings harmony. But if it is applied in the selfishness, in aggrandizements, in pleasure, it may only bring the husks of desire that may not be satisfied.
These the entity has learned, and is learning. And the more these are applied, the greater may be the peace and harmony that is being sought by the entity in its associations with its fellow man.
Few there be who have sought for an understanding of their relationships with the Infinite as experienced by self through its journeys into materiality and to the spirit forces; or who have accomplished and are accomplishing in self what THIS entity has done and is doing!
Before that we find the entity was in the Grecian land, or the Parthenian-Grecian land, during those periods following the activities when there had been the putting away by man of his association with Creation and God, in the Crucifixion.
And the entity heard of same when those of that land had begun to tell the story of Him who had given, "Come unto me, all ye that are weak and heavyladen, and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
This to many had become as a message of hope, under the burdens of those who were in power for the satisfying of their own material desires in riotous living and in the pleasures of the moment.
And the entity then, hearing, heard as it were a call to those things that had been a part of the entity in an experience before; and it brought hope and a new experience!
And the entity became a messenger, yea a healing messenger, through the awakening that had come to the entity from the teachings of Paul and Barnabas as they had journeyed through that land.
Then the entity was in the name Cyprus, and gained throughout.
And oft in the present the entity has again and again caught a glimpse of those experiences; from a word here, or an act there, which has called forth those visions of old.
Hold fast to these, for as ye measure to thy fellow man, so measure ye to thy Maker.
For ye must stand before Him, thy Maker, with the deeds done in the body as a witness of thy purposes, of thy desires.
Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Egyptian, when there were those activities being administered for individuals through the tenets and the teachings and the applications of what today would be called hospitalizations; care for the sick; attending to those weak by accident materially or because of activities in body such that there needed to be the cleansing of same by the purifying fires of the Temples of Sacrifice.
The entity then was among those who ministered to those who were ill and those who were needy, and those who were weak in body AND in disposition or mind. (Study that well!)
Then the name was Phalan.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then:
Seek - seek to know His way with thee! For his ways are not past finding out.
Hold fast to that hope thou hast found in thy Lord. Know WHO is thy Lord, and that He is able to keep those things ye commit unto Him against any experience; here, now, and in the hereafter! or know that He is past, present and future all in one!
Let thy love be without preference. Let thy cares be in Him. Let thyself be lost in service for Him.
Ready for questions.
(Q) I am anxious to establish a clinic in connection with my physiotherapy work. What would you advise in this connection and what steps should be taken toward accomplishing this now?
(A) As there are more and more reasons why such is necessary, because of the thought and the activities of individuals and groups, we find that this may be easily established - if there is only the letting it be known that there is the desire to do so.
And through those channels in which there are being sources of help established (that is, Foundations), for those in varied forms of activity, there may come that which is necessary for the establishing of same; in material means as well as in the attitude and propaganda necessary.
(Q) Just what should be the direction now of my metaphysical studies for my greatest mental and spiritual development?
(A) As has been indicated, in the teachings of Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Light!
(Q) Is there any special phase of my work in which I could make greater strides and render greater service that should be stressed?
(A) As indicated, stress that the body, mind and soul must coordinate as they function in all their phases within the temple of the own body; that is, then: All things must find the answer WITHIN. For as thy mind, soul and body are a part of the whole - of the past, present and future - so must they coordinate and cooperate with that which IS everlasting; the SPIRITUAL portion of each entity!
We are through for the present.
