Edgar Cayce Readings, 2138-1

(Life Reading Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the entity here, now known as [2138], and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and manifested in this present entity.
In entering, we find astrologically those influences in Aries, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus and Uranus. In this relation, as has been builded in the present, as well as in the experiences in the earth's plane, have been altered much by the application of will's influence as respecting astrological influence, and in the present experience we will find that those influences in Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, will in the next few years bring those of more a satisfaction in the mental, the material and the spiritual influences, than have been experienced in the past of the present experience; for, as is seen and known by the entity in the present, there has been those periods when not as REGRETS, as the body finds in the present understanding, rather as that that has oft - or at periods SEEMED to have been an unwise decision, yet these have been SOME NECESSARY experiences for the entity to HAVE arrived at that understanding as IS experienced BY the entity in the present. These, as we find, will - with the understanding, with the knowledge and experience - make for those that, will the entity in the next few years but hold to that as has been gained as the knowledge and understanding, bring more of not only a satisfaction of seeing the labors prosper in material ways, but bring more of that of experiencing the broader vision, the greater capacity for aid to others, the greater capacity for the ability to give insight, knowledge, counsel, aid, understanding to OTHERS in that field as the body mentally, materially, gains ITS OWN concept, workable as it becomes in the present experience. These, as we find, should take very DEFINITE changes in the middle of the present season, coming October - these will find as outlet and see the beginning of those of WHOLESOME knowledge, wholesome understandings. Do not allow petty differences, or those of a difference in knowledge or understanding deter the entity from applying THAT that HAS been and IS the life AND hope OF the body in this present period.
In the appearances, and the effect these have had and do have upon the present entity:
In the one before this we find in this present surrounding, in the present land, under different environs, and during those periods when there were those persecutions in that now known as New England and about that portion of the country now known as Massachusetts. The entity then among those peoples who where misunderstood for the concepts as were gathered BY those of the entity's group as concerning the activities of unseen forces IN the material plane. The entity then in the name Marie Jughan, being of those of the group who came westward from the Norwegian land, and of those peoples of that group that were considered as the leaders of this that was not in whole accord with the religious rites [rights] of the period. The entity suffered persecution in the period, but gained through the steadfastness of the understanding as was gained; losing only in the answering back when railed upon by those who would laugh at the entity's physical position, ESPECIALLY those days in the stocks as it rained. Hence as is felt in the present, that oft of the daring to do, to be, that as is felt is right, IRRESPECTIVE of what others may think, with a TENDENCY - sometimes too oft - to give to others that are unappreciative of that PRIVILEGE they are being granted by the knowledge or the manifestation of that being told or shown. In this should the entity, even in the present, take a second thought. As also the experience brings to that is of an intuitive finding, yet oft will the entity find that for SELF the second thought, the second sight, the second determination, is the better. While in many the first impression lasts, to THIS entity WEIGHT well both sides of EVERY question.
In the one then before this we find in theat land known as the promise land, and yet the entity again a sojourner from a northern and western country. The entity then a worker in linens, and an embroiderer of no mean estate, coming in the latter period of the experience under the influence of the teacher as became the LEADER, of the chief of the SPEAKING exponents of the new set, or sect. The entity gaining through this experience, for - as was said of the follower of Paul, "so in that graciousness of thine grandmother Eunice". The entity Eunice through this experience, the name being changed from that of the combined - or the Grecian and the Hebrew name also, Amon-Dekar. In this experience those truths, though they find a different meaning to the entity from many, find an answer within that is oft not explainable by the entity, and the holding to those tenets will bring TO the entity that of the greatest faith, the greatest satisfaction, the greatest understanding; for though there be those things that would attempt to make one afraid that are of the earthly making, and those things that would bring those bindings from material things, in HIM - as taught by Paul - IS the light, and there IS no variableness in His understanding. When one once gains that consciousness of that presence as was gained by the entity in that experience, nothing in the heavens above, in the seas beneath, neither far or near, can shake or change THAT understanding; for He IS the light, and the way man AND woman may approach the THRONE of Grace. In the present this, as we find, brings many of those of the love of the household, yet the longing for ministering to those that are needy in any condition or position; especially love for brocades or raised figures in cloth, and for that that makes for beauty in women's apparel.
In the one then before this, we find in that land now known as the Egyptian land, and during those periods when there were dissensions in the land. The entity then among those of the natives that were associated with the peoples in the TEMPLE worship; later associated with those in the establishing of the HEALING forces to the peoples in many lands. THE entity very decided, as it has been in the present at times, sometimes to self's own weal and sometimes to self's own woe - as in the present. In the re-establishing of the priest and those that understood and that made for a spreading of that attained and gained by consecration of individuality, personality, and selves to AN ideal, the entity rose then to one of power and position in the arts of applying those remedies as were gained during that period. In the name Awa-Lairon. In the present, again we find there are those inclinations INNATELY as make for rebellions within self at conditions; yet with the understanding as has gradually come to the entity even in the present experience, again much as that as experienced in that period has come to make for the little leaven that leaveneth the whole. Not in might, not in power - saith the Lord, but in the LITTLE things day by day. Just being KIND to a brother brings greater understanding than to he that taketh a whole city. Greater is the knowledge OF the truth gained by just being a friend to the friendless, than he that ruleth over many peoples unwisely. In THESE may the entity excel in the present. Ever, then, as has been, westward will the entity take its way - in the latter portion of its sojourn in each experience has been - will a knowledge, an understanding, and the satisfaction of a LIFE, an EXPERIENCE, an attaining of a better understanding come to the entity. Be thou faithful unto those that are in the formative years of THEIR experience, even as was said, "To thine grandmother go for counsel." Ready for questions.

REPORTS

11/04/31 [2138]'s letter to EC:
Mr. Edgar Cayce Virg. Beach
Dear Mr. Cayce:
You no doubt will be surprised to know we are back in Ohio.
I could not understand Mrs. [120]'s attitude towards us soon after we arrived at their home.
She broke every promise she made. I took into consideration her ill health and tried to be patient but it was impossible to go on and I left there a nervous wreck.
I could not leave [2137] there in school under the circumstances and brought him back with me.
Here we are like lost sheep. We would rather come to Virg. but think it best to remain here for the present.
We want to think all things will work out for the best.
I could not interest Mrs. [120] in anything pertaining to the work at Virg. Beach.
Mr. Cayce, when you feel so inclined we would be glad to have a message from you in regards to our readings in which the information advised us to go West, especially [2137] to find his success in California.
We send kindest regards to Mrs. Cayce, Hugh Lynn, and your whole household.
We are intensely interested in the work there and hope you will be very successful.
Very Sincerely Mrs. [2138] ..., Ohio
12/05/31 EC's letter to [2138]:
Mrs. [2138] ..., Ohio
My dear Mrs. [2138]
Yours of the 4th of November came while we were in New York and having such a harrowing experience ourselves. It has taken some little time to get ourselves sufficiently together to keep up with our correspondence.
I was indeed surprised and shocked to know that you and [2137] had both come back east. I can very well imagine how you must feel. Just why the information did not forewarn you as respecting what you might expect, is something I cannot answer - but I will be very glad to make an appointment for you and see just what the information will give, if you and [2137] will make up a list of questions to have asked. I am enclosing an application blank that would be necessary for you to fill out. Don't understand that I'm asking for money. It's just that our rules and regulations under this new organization require that each reading have a signed application and records complete. I feel very sure that everything will work out for the best. I hope that neither you nor Mrs. [...] were too hasty in making your decisions. Of course, I have never been with Mrs. [...] long enough to form an opinion such as to warrant my giving an opinion on something about which I know so little. Many of us are prone to judge too quickly. I am sure I appreciate how you must have felt about leaving [2137] there. Would it have been possible for him to have stayed? After all, we each have to live our own lives, especially after we reach the years of accountability - but I'm sure the information will be better able to give you something worth while than I am capable of doing in - shall I say - my right mind?
We are having some very interesting studies in the group here. I think they would all agree that we are getting some wonderful lessons. I hope some day we will have them prepared for groups studying elsewhere. Isn't there a possibility of your coming back to Virginia? You know, there is a place here at the Beach, Mrs. [2138] that has been fixed up for some kind of baths and treatments. It might be very well, if you think the place would be big enough, for you to write Mr. Jacob Laskin, care of the Pinewood Hotel, Virginia Beach. This might be made a proposition worth while.
I hope you won't let the circumstances that have arisen be other than a step to higher and better things.
With kindest personal regards to yourself and [2137] from all of us here, I am
Sincerely, [EC:GD]
