TEXT

1. EC: We have the entity here, [1730], and those relationships in the present experience as are as personalities, or as builded in the individuality of the entity in the present experience.
2. In entering astrologically, we find the entity coming under the influences of Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Uranus. In that as has been builded astrologically, we would find many of the variations as will be and as are being builded in the present experience. These are from the application of will as respecting those conditions as are presented in the present experience.
3. In Venus, we find one lovable, amiable, peacemaking, and mindful of those things as make for that as will produce harmony in home, in relationships, and in the various conditions as may be presented in the experience. These are tempered by that in Jupiter, which brings for the varied experience; yet in the two there are found weaknesses in the physical body that the body should guard against, making for those conditions wherein the condition of that as may be called the serums of the system are weak, thin, and the tendency of catarrh exists from these influences or experiences, and these should be guarded against, that they do not become a portion of that BUILDED, but that with the use of will may be eradicated from the system. This, as we find, may be best accomplished through the uses of forces as are active principles in those influences or spheres from which these are seen, which will be of the electrical nature, and not too much of that of any of medicinal natures, other than of vegetables, and not minerals; for nothing as would pertain to those influences that have to do with the lower vibrations - as are seen in minerals - are aiding, or an addition to the vibratory influences of the body, whether in developments as come to the mental or the physical forces of the body.
4. In those seen in that as builded in Uranus, makes for the extremes - and, as will be seen, the greater blessings the body may be to, or that will come to the body, will be AFTER the twenty-sixth or twenty-seventh year, when these influences as may be given out may be in cooperation with influences that have builded for experiences of the entity through the earth's plane. These, as given, are astrological, without the influence of will. As will's application in the present experience has had more to do with influences in that of Venus AND Mercury, we find THESE are the altered conditions as have been builded in the experience of the entity in the present. Those influences in the mental, as come through Uranian, are - that interest as is seen and felt in conditions as pertain to the mental and spiritual body, and make for - not as ORDINARY occult influences, but rather that of one highly sensitive to the INTUITIVE forces as may be manifested in the present experience. In the application of will, or of self, as respecting introspective experiences that may be used as building within the mental and the spiritual forces, or building in mental that the spiritual forces manifest, will make many an alteration in the effect and in the conditions as will come into the experience of the entity, as in this latter portion of the present experience.
5. As to that influence in the present from the experiences in the earth's plane, we find as these:
6. In the one before this we find in that land now in which the entity resides; while the entity one who came into the land, and in places of high POSITION in the experience, rather that of one considered as an example for many, and during that period known as Marguerite, the entity as the companion of the ruler in the land known as Georgia. The entity gained and lost in the experience. Gained while serving in the capacity of an aide to the peoples of the new land, losing in the exaltation for self as the entity returned to other lands, and in the AGAIN returning losing in the experience of that manifested before the peoples of that period. In the present there is seen that of the wonderment of peoples that hold exalted positions acting as if they were lords, or the belittlement of power or position to the entity is often made by the aggrandizing of selfish interests. Used aright, this may be made as a blessing in the experiences of the entity. This, to be sure, grown to seed - or classified in an undertow of the considerations as may be called of those holding malice, would bring destructive forces to the entity.
7. In the one before this we find in that land known as the Norsemen's land, or in the change of the peoples as they journeyed from one place to another in ships. Fair, and of large stature, the entity gained in this experience - yet the conditions as surrounded same brought many of those that are as destructive forces in the physical in the present; for that urge as came from the changes wrought in the experience, and through those of the Jupiterian influences as bring for physical defects, these come from this experience here - as in the name Olsenin. In the experience the entity finds that the conditions of abroad are interesting, and must be to others, yet the home loving, the building up of beautiful conditions in the dwelling places, is that innate, and seeks for expression, from the experience.
8. In the one before this we find in that land known as the Trojan land, and during those periods when there was the guarding of the gates. The entity showed forth most of that that had to do with the development of, or retarding of, the experience - in the name Elois. The entity among those who furnished foods for the keepers of the gates, and the companion - or the wife, then - of one of the keepers, and in the experience the entity gained. Losing only in the grudge held when the companion losing life in the defense of the city, when changed to that of the companion of those who carried the entity away, the entity fought, grudged, and lost in the conditions builded in that of fear, temper, and the exaltation of same. In the present we find those conditions in the entity of fear as to outcomes, rather of divisions of peoples and of peoples' relationships; yet in that of the building of the grudges, this the entity keeps apart.
9. In the one before this we find in that land known as the Egyptian land, and in the experience the entity gained and lost; for in the position as the attendant to, and the companion of - rather in an indelicate manner - the keeper of Ibex. The entity gained and lost, for while to the entity a sad experience, and much was the loss in the conditions held as those of love in the MATERIAL sense, yet in the latter days did the entity gain in the keeping of, building up, the offspring of that companionship. In the name Ei-Na. In the present, that of the companionableship is the most builded that finds expression innately and in a manifested form.
10. In the one before this we find in that land now known as the central American land, or Yucatan. The entity then among those who journeyed to this land in the building up and establishing of a new kingdom there from the trembles of the Atlantean land, though the ENTITY journeyed from that now known as Peruvian, or the land of the Ohums [?] [Aymaras ?]. In this experience the entity gained and lost, being raised to the position of the high priestess of that temple builded there, and in the exaltation of self's own interests did the entity lose. This experience, introspectively, may be almost imagined in toto by the entity, and the entity might use self in the writing, or in making data of that experience in such a way as to bring for self much of this world's goods, if properly applied. In the name Esum-Elith.
11. In the abilities of the entity, and that to which it may attain in the present experience:
12. In that as seen, the entity has meant much, has builded much, has accomplished much, has suffered much, has lost much, has gained much. In those experiences where there was rather the ideal held before self, and not an idealistic experience sought, the entity gained - but when IDEALISM, and not IDEAL, was held, then conditions changed. In the present, then, keeping that of the abilities to build, to supply in the home, to aid in, and seeking out him whom brought those destructive influences, so act toward those surroundings that there may be builded that companionship that may make for the developments in this present experience that will erase much of that as has caused consternation innately and manifestedly. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Are the mental forces of this body and the mental forces of [5453] in such attunement with each other as to make for the best in the lives of each, in all conditions of life, through marriage in this experience?
    (A) Not at present, but they may be builded by making compatible the conditions as necessary; for each, as is seen, are a portion of the other's weakness, the other's strength.
14. (Q) In what appearances, other than the Egyptian, were this entity and the entity now known as [5453] associated in the earth plane and what were the relationships?
    (A) These have been given. Study them out.
15. (Q) From an astrological and numerological standpoint, what would be the best date in the fall of the present year for the marriage of these two?
    (A) Twenty-second day of October.
16. (Q) Please give advice that will aid these entities in marriage to keep to the ideal and purpose they hold in regard to same.
    (A) Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed of the weaknesses as may be manifested in the flesh, but avoiding even the appearances of evil, presenting the body holy and acceptable as a sacrifice to that ideal; yet keeping in attune and in accord with the consciousness as may be aroused by the attunement of self with the universal forces as are seen manifest in those conditions as have been the experience of each, and keep self unspotted from the world. We are through.

REPORTS

1. 9/15/30 Letter to EC from [1730]:
   ..., Virginia
   My Dear Mr. Cayce
   "I've waited to write to you in regard to my rdg. thinking that perhaps [5453] would get up to see me, and would help me to understand it more clearly. That, however, is all in vain, for it seems that time will never come.
   "Needless to say, I was most interested in the rdg., and I feel that my life will be greatly benefited by it in the future, and it makes me quite happy to know that others will also receive a benefit. It is indeed wonderful to feel so sure that the step which I am soon to take is one which is meant to be, through the ages, and that no mistake will be made. I have felt that way all along, but not with the sense of surety that I now do.
   "I notice in the historical treatise which Tom [Tom Sugrue] arranged that he says this is the first reading of its sort to bring out facts about the physical condition. I was especially interested in the condition mentioned, rather the cause, for all my life I have used entirely too much of one of the lesser minerals - sodium chloride. I seem to have really a mania for salt, and it is impossible for me to use only a small amount. I sincerely hope that your work is moving forward smoothly now. Please give my best regards to Mrs. Cayce, and all of your folks."
2. 9/19/30 Letter from EC to Miss [1730]:
   Miss [1730] ..., Virginia
   Dear Miss [1730]
   "I have yours of the 15th. It is nothing more than natural that I should feel pleased to know that YOU were pleased with the information in the rdg. sometime ago. I can't help but feel somewhat of a responsibility when you express yourself as being more sure by having had the information. While I realize the information isn't of my making, yet I am the channel - and therefore responsible to a degree.
   "We are all looking forward to the time when you will be amongst us again, and one of us. You know we all think so much of Mr. [...], and we all think so much of you. I just hope you don't have more than your share of it all. Anyway, we are just tickled pink to know that it isn't a great while before you will be with us. To be sure, there will be grave responsibilities for you both, for you both must have a great deal of earth's environs to be worked out in this experience, but together you will be able to do much - while singly it would be a struggle for each.
   "Yes, it WAS unusual that there was so much concerning the physical given in the life rdg. Little by little, we gather a great deal of information through these readings, and more and more we find all life is One, and is the gift - or a part of our Maker, manifested in this world in a material way, and subject to those things we have entertained in our mind to the degree as to have made lasting impressions.
   "I want to thank you for your letter, and I am hoping that Mr. [...] will see you in a few days.
   "With love from all,"
   Ever the same, [EC:GD]
3. 10/22/30 Miss [1730] and Mr. [5453] were married.
