3/09/42 EC's letter to [
2454]:
Dear Mrs. [
2454]:
Thanks very much for yours of the 6th - and thanks a lot
for the extracts from [
2677]'s report, they are fine. Feel
honestly [
2677] is one of the most promising young men have
met in a long time, hence naturally was most anxious to know
what his reaction would be to his reading for felt if it
answered to a something within himself that thought (he might
not put that something in to words) it would mean much, if it
didn't well, would mean nothing - believe it will mean much,
and all THANKS to HIM. Will be glad to hear of any other
comments he may make from time to time, for believe he has
the right idea even in the study of the information, he will
grow to it, or its meaning as he applies the suggestions here
and there in his day contacts and his studies, hence will
mean much more than to the ordinary person.
Suspect the absence of Mr. [
2746] is much to you as to we
here regards our boy now in service and as to where he will
be sent.
"Children of the Law of One" believe refers to the belief as
we would express it, and as did Moses or Abraham it was "The
Lord Thy God Is One," the expression of a Spiritual ideal
rather than a material - as is indicated in the expression
"sons of Belial".
There is something given on the Atlantean readings about the
travel at that time in some sort of machines - they seem to
be able to go either in Air or water or both. Too much of
that for me to try and tell it in a letter - will have to get
some of them to copy something for you from those readings.
Ajax or Ax-tell believe he was the same person [
487] - or
seems to indicate that was a power - or in power among the
Atlanteans who came into Egypt about the time the High Priest
of Egypt was restored to power - and while he differed much
with him eventually work together for the uplift of mankind
as a whole. It no bother at all, only I can't give it to you
as would like from what hear others say about it - there will
be a paper on all this data some time when it can be gotten
together.
Miss Gladys or Mae, might get some of this for you much
better than I can, and am sure either of them will be glad
to do it for you if you will drop either of them a line.
Mae I believe has been segregating that data from the Life
Readings, for as you know it is given in very much piecemeal
in different readings, but the funny thing it dovetails when
put together.
Are having a few very very much March days here just now.
The wind is very strong out, and rained a real downpour last
night, is not so cold today - yet may be quite cold before
the day is over, the weather man says.
Think they are doing very nicely with the Publication fund -
Mrs. [Hannah] Miller has charge of that, and only hear from
them now and then - several lately have sent something to me
as the order for a Book or two.
All are glad to her from you. When ever we get together
you are never forgotten. All speak of or ask about you,
the Tuesday evening meetings are still very interesting.
Thanks again for every thing.
With all good wishes and love from all
Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce

Dear Mrs. [
2454]:
Having a young man of our own who am sure has been
floundering and who has recently shown signs of reaching
about the same conclusions as [
2677] - felt you would
appreciate just what [
2677] had to say to me about his
reading, think it is one of the most beautiful letters ever
read in my life [See
2677-1 Reports], and could never tell
any one how much this has and does mean to me. For to be an
influence for good in the life of such a marvelous young man
is indeed an privilege and honor. Am sure you will always be
proud of him and he of you.
Don't know as he expected me to send this to you, so can use
your own judgement as to whether you tell him or not. Will
write him as best can - while know can never say what I feel
will do best can.
We still miss you - hope all is well and happy with you.
With best from all

Dear Mrs. [
2454]:
Thanks for yours of the 29th - will be expecting the
questions for Mr. [
2746] and will get his reading on
afternoon of the 7th 3.30 to 4.30 E.W.T. You can keep
the period if he doesn't, and the time is taken from the
day of his birth any way.
Yes - think our boy [Edgar Evans Cayce] was most fortunate,
and he seems so well pleased with his studies. He is the
studious type and have seen him sit and read a book on
mathematics when he might have been out with the girls - tho
believe he intends to get married in June, if all goes well.
But is quite a different temperament from H. L. but in his
own way a very lovely boy, we think.
Is lovely here, just got my garden all in and had a very very
fine rain Sat. afternoon so hope will make the garden grow -
noticed this morning some of my roses seem ready to bloom.
Do like to see things grow, all nature seems to me to speak
so of GOD.
The board has asked H. L. to appear before it again this week
if he is sent on to army camp, don't know just how we will
manage the Congress, but if we can have it, think it will be
about the 18-
19-20 and 21st. Hope you can be here about that
time.
Expecting to hear from you soon, with best from all

6/08/42 [
2454]'s letter to EC:
..., Conn.
Dear Mr. Cayce:
Hope you will accept my apologies for being so slow, your
letter jarring me out of complacency came this morning.
About my success with the prayer program, I don't know if
I can write the many disappointments and blessing I have
received so you will really understand how much it has meant,
and what a great struggle it has also been. To some people
prayer is spontaneous, it seems, but to me it is plain hard
work, unless I get my conscious all cleared of its debris and
can still my mind to recognize the all present intelligence
of God. I might just as well not take the time, and as you
likely know how much material static is sailing around. I
very often feel I have accomplished nothing. And I must try
to tell you the experience I had when I first began on the
program, before I had a very definite approach worked out
whereby I could, you might say make contact, I guess because
of the nature of my prayers. But here I hit a complete
negative force that bounced me off & back like a spring.
And until I knew why, I did anything but understand what I
hit. And this is how I got around it.
I put the war and all its vibrations out of my mind, in order
to recognize the positive force of God, and then I knew I had
been recognizing the destructive instead of the constructive.
There has been at least twenty (egos) I used in this short
report, and I only wish I could eliminate every one of them,
but to know that misunderstanding hasn't crept into my mind.
And now to the blessings, I have a complete new picture
of what we are and our relativity to all the material life
around us, also of the holocaust of material supremacy we
have brought to a head. But the faster it explodes the
sooner will spiritual supremacy be recognized. I feel the
chaos of our world is caused by the spiritual forces moving
in on the material (and material can only answer back
the only way and under the only law it knows which is
destruction of its self).
Surely hope this makes sense, but I wonder.
Yes, [...] was called into the army just as his reading said,
he takes his final examination today. [Copied into
2677-1

6/10/42 EC's letter to [
2454]:
Dear Mrs. [
2454]
Thank you for yours of the 8th, - your experience with the
prayer group is very interesting, and is very gratifying
to me - so many Mrs. [
2454], have written me about similar
experiences of one kind or another - am most happy that was
moved to write the letter in the first place, and feel that
the meeting on the morning of the 19th should be filled with
a great amount of spirituality, and many of us come closer to
the oneness with the Christ Consciousness, certainly hope you
will be able to be with us, don't thing we will have as large
a meeting as we have some times had but believe every one
who is able to come will feel well repaid for the time and
trouble - and know all here in our Bible study will feel
better for having you with us even for a day.
Do hope Mrs. [
2602] can come, think she would like to meet
many of the people here in the Norfolk area.
Felt what [
2677] said was worth passing on to others - for
we all need the encouragement to know some one has gotten
something worthwhile and are making an effort to apply the
principles in their daily life - it isn't what we know or
learn but what we daily apply that counts.
Glad Mr. [
2746] is getting the run of his reading - his is
the experience of practically every one who gets any thing
from the information - it must grow on you. Then is one
able to make application of the suggestions made.
Thanks again for every thing - do hope you may be able to be
with us and with all good wishes from every one here.
Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce

Dear Mr. Cayce & All:
We had a very nice trip home and found nice cool weather
here. I want to tell you first how much we enjoyed being
there with you for the Congress and now that I have had time
to think about it all, I realize how much it really did mean
and am very grateful for all the many blessings received
there. It will be the essence that flavors the whole year
that lies ahead to be lived until next June if we are
fortunate enough to be there. [
2746] was so anxious to hear
all about it but I am afraid I am not able to put on paper
the real worth. Am enclosing a letter from him to you as he
didn't know the address there he sent it to me to forward.
Is it possible to get my life reading at the morning reading
on July the 15th, as that is our anniversary and that is my
present from [
2746] if it isn't convenient put it in
somewhere at least ten days from now as [
2746] want to set
in on the time too.
Enclosed is a M.O. for $10.00 on [
2746]'s. I believe this is
the last on it isn't it? I have kinda lost track.
Hoping this finds all well and not too much to do these warm
days will say good bye and best wishes to all.
Sincerely, [
2454]

7/12/51 Verbal report:
This reading has never been completely carried out. I did
for a time the exercises when I was ready to retire, but I
never did really finish them. The exercises for the upper
part of the body were never done. Not until this year
was the condition in the lumbar axis and the 9th dorsal
corrected, but Dr. Richardson made the correction for me
and I have really been relieved. Two treatments a week
for nearly a year. I feel now that I'm in better health
than I have been for the last 30 years. I do feel that
much of the physical health came from the treatments, but
mostly I feel that the healing has been from the spiritual.
I know that when the soul is healed that it will manifest in
the physical.
