Time and Place: 11:40 to 12:00 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., New York.

TEXT

GC: You will have before you the entities [3051] and [3436], born January 15, 1898, in Paterson, New Jersey, and [3436] born July 1, 1898 in New York City; and the information they seek in a joint Reading, considering that given for [3051] in her Life Reading, June 17, 1943, and that which they have to work out individually or together, in the immediate future or in this experience. You will answer the questions they have submitted, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the entities here, [3051] and [3436].
In considering the activities, the relationships - it would be better if a parallel were drawn of the whole experience of each. But those appearances may be indicated from here, where their associations caused those attractions, as well as the karma between the two. Yet there are others, as may be seen, that have to do with relationships in other activities; the vocational activities.
For as we find, because of the relationships that the entity [3436] bore to activities in Egypt as well as in the Holy Land, those fields of service and activity in the present would be related to the assurance or insurance and real estate, the handling of properties of others, rental agencies and the like. In such fields of activity might make greater successes.
The eastern coast of the United States in tidewater area will be much preferable for the body than other sections of the land, as may be seen from the activities of the entity in an experience; not associated then with the entity [3051] but in and through which each may make a contribution to activities of a community and bring about better conditions between themselves and their activities.
As to relationships in Egypt, we find that these had to do with homes and the assurance - or what might be termed the problems of caring for the injured, the ill, where premature or accidental death occurred. Thus the associations in the relationships that would bring activities for the entity in contributing to the material, social and spiritual relationships of a helpful nature.
As to the associations and the activities of the entities in the Holy Land - there we find the entity [3436] supervising tax gatherings. Thus the dealings in the present with commodities, and in such relationships the entity may make a material success - but bring many a discouraging period into the experience.
The activities in each of these were closely related, and only in Egypt were they in the capacity existing in the present.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What can be done for greater harmony between us?
(A) Let each be of one purpose; not necessarily thinking the same on questions, but their ideals and purposes. Let each think of the other and not of self alone. Know that the relationships in the present should be ever as much for the other as for self.
(Q) Was [3436]'s divorce from his first wife karma?
(A) We haven't any divorce.
(Q) What lesson for either of us to learn so not to bring condition back into another experience?
(A) This should come with [3436] not for [3051].
(Q) What can [3051] do to overcome her husband's lack of generosity to her financially?
(A) Let [3051] be just as generous to the husband as she expects the husband to be to her, and these will be more in accord and will bring greater harmony in the relationships throughout the experience. These each have ideals. Make them coordinate with the material, the mental and the spiritual lives of each. Know that it must begin in the spiritual. Then material results will be brought into the experience as the mind is controlled towards those ideals set by each as to the spirit with which they will control and act in relationships one to another.
(Q) To what extent will inflation affect [3436]'s business, advise if wise to change to another business, if so what business?
(A) As indicated, insurance and real estate.
(Q) How successful would the land investment in Staten Island - [3436] has in mind be?
(A) Not a very successful venture. There are too many disturbances soon to arise, especially relating to some of the holdings.
(Q) Which pieces of property would be the best investment for such a project?
(A) Wherever he would choose for his activities. Do not have these in one area and the activities of self in another.
(Q) If [3051] adopted some children would it be a blessing to both [3436] and the children, considering her physical condition?
(A) This had best be determined in selves. If that is the desire of each, let them be wholly in agreement. And where there is agreement, there may be harmony. And if harmony, then it would be for the better welfare of all concerned.
Remember, there are those responsibilities as well as possibilities that arise with the desire for adoption. For, in many instances, and it might be found here, unless this is prompted by a spiritual desire on the part of each, it is better not to attempt such. If it is prompted by the spiritual, then the mental and material relationships will take care of themselves. And these are well, if prompted by the spiritual desire of each - and they are in accord. Without such, be mindful.
(Q) What is the meaning of [3051]'s seal and has [3436] one?
(A) We haven't this in combination. We haven't a seal for [3436]. These are not much in men's experiences. For, while the woman is ordinarily changeable in mind, the real desire and purpose remains truer in woman than in man. Thus the seal of life is as to the abilities and activities for which woman was created in the beginning - as the companionship and as the mother of souls in expression in a physical sense, and the training of same. Thus the ideal is set by a seal of life.
(Q) Would [3436] be successful in the Over Counter business anywhere?
(A) This is too confining a condition for [3436].
(Q) Why are we together in this life and how can we accomplish this mission?
(A) By each being true to themselves. Ye are together because of those attractions one for the other through relationships borne in other activities. And these, as indicated, being true to the ideal and keeping self as one, they make for those activities of the earth, and those portions in which they reside, being better for their living therein. This is the purpose of each group or each person in the earth. We are to subdue the environs. We are to turn same to helpful forces for those to come.
We are through with reading.

REPORTS

See Life Reading for [3436] ([3051]'s husband) which was subsequently given.
12/02/43 "My treatments are up after the next and I'll renew them for twelve more so before that time is up, say in ten weeks will you put me down for a ck reading. I want to know what I should continue, drop out or add. I've been very patient and I'm also working for a spiritual healing in my meditation.
"I'll get help on that questions in the spiritual and mental reading but that won't come for some time.
"It's late so I'll close and you'll hear from me very soon. I hope the wire didn't confuse you, it was sent to confirm what I'd written. I hope you were able to give [3436] his physical promptly at 3.30 as he come home BUT what I didn't know till then is that he had to RETURN to the office. So he left home a quarter of five. During that period he read 58 pages of your book, "A Search For God," he was very impressed with it and is very happy.
"You've been a wonderful influence for GOOD in his life, bless you!"
Our love and best wishes "The [[3051] and [3436]]'s"
3/02/44 [3051]'s letter:
Dear Mr. Cayce:
I was at Reilly's last Saturday and missed you by an eye lash! I was heart broken and then to add insult to injury I again missed you on Monday or Tuesday which ever it was.
I particularly wanted to introduce to Norvell, he gave a lecture at the McAlpine Hotel Tues. at eleven. I thought you might look him over with some idea of helping you in your work. He also has a tremendous following, particularly California and has been advisor to the stars there for over ten years. I didn't think it fair to try and find you tho I was tempted, tho what a temptation.
I hear that nothing can be sent to a prisoner unless it is sent from the source at publisher. They are afraid of codes or marked passages, that might place escapes etc. Therefore I wondered if you couldn't send Mr. [3530] our Bulletin each month. He'd love to follow our work since he can't follow his own at the moment. This Feb. issue is particularly good. You might add anything you thought he might like to read. You understand how it must be for him, there are no letters only from one of the family and the same applies to visitors. It might be addressed to Sing Sing and they would forward it to the little farm place they sent him. Let me know what you can do. It would be wonderful if they allowed him to write you but I guess that is expecting too much. A letter about your work would mean so much.
Now for me, hang on to your hat! You know how disappointed I was over not having my readings but I thought there might be a blessing there, I have it. About a month ago I had a prompting from my subconscious to stop THE ZYMENOL and to do certain things in regard to diet. To stop in the middle of a bottle is foreign to my disposition and then I had tried so many times to give up the drug on [2982]'s insistence with very bad effects. This time I didn't hesitate nor was I afraid of ill effects. Lo and behold, I had instant effects and I might add it is almost 100% perfect. I have had a bit of trouble, if you could call it that, when my husband didn't call me in the morning, thinking to do me a favor by allowing me to sleep. However since I'd miss that day as a result, I'd be alright the next with a little extra effort, perhaps a small baby enema to help BUT no hemorrhages and no ill effects.
The half bottle is still in my frigidaire and I had two bottles left of the case my husband bought. These two I took up to Reilly's and gave to my masseuse who has the same trouble BUT hasn't gotten about having a reading yet. It's like some wonderful dream, I'm still not used to it yet, each day I marvel anew and each day I almost wonder if it won't stop and I'll be back where I started.
Now I must get after the eyes as the reading said I would be able to take off the glasses for some years yet. I almost weakened and got stronger lenses as I couldn't see to sew with the ones I have nor read at night and not very long in the day time either. Then too, they have started to burn, sting and water and that, my dear, isn't pretty. I am an example to my husband, unfortunately and also to a lot of others. It is a hard lot, so if they expect to sprout wings and be perfect, I'll have to do it, as the saying goes, the customer is ALWAYS right.
I'm so light and happy at the moment, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if I really flew away this minute. I must write [3414] and tell her, she too is waiting for me to say, we have triumphed and we HAVE. [2982] is so delighted and [3436] doesn't know yet whether to believe me or not, he is waiting for time to enter in. But I'm so very happy and most grateful to you, it goes beyond words.
That Bulletin is something out of this world, everyone is raving about it. It gave me such a lift, I felt as if I was transported to some mountain peak. Do you think I ought to let the Physical ck. go for awhile and concentrate on the Spiritual and Mental for the answer to why the eyes are not seeming to respond?? With your experience you know best. Don't forget to advise me.
Saw [2982] last nite and she tells me [2981] may take up an offer to work out at the west coast, the company offered more money and will move them out. Now you said there would be upheavals and earthquakes so do you think it wise to allow them to go. [2982]'s or [2981]'s reading said nothing about their not going. It only said wherever they stood was hallowed ground. What now?
[3436] is waiting for a date for his reading so he can ask about WHEN and HOW he'll find a buyer for his interest in the firm, also WHERE would be appropriate to know. He'd have to have a just price as the business now that they have built it up and have a reputation that's the best is a gold mine. It must hurt him after all his years of hard work and effort to give it up just when it is paying out. However the new tax takes some of the gilt off the edges, it bites in deeply as the partners are in the highest brackets.
Your mail must have piled up in your absence so I'll sign off for the moment take the best care of yourself, whatever would we do without you?? Try to write soon and do let me know the news
With a heart full of love from both of us [3436] and [3051]
5/17/44 [3051]'s letter:
Dear Mr. Cayce:
I'm on my way to Reilly's but want to get a line off to you before I leave and thank you for your date for our readings in June. That's the twentieth.
You can't begin to realize how much I appreciate this as I'm just hanging on, marking time till I get some information why my eyes have not only NOT responded but have become worse. I've had to give up a lot because of them as I won't let an oculist say the readings won't help. He's been trying to get [3436] to MAKE ME have my glasses changed to some nice fancy one about an inch thick and when they are no longer adequate he refuses to answer what follows.
We have our hotel reservations and train down, I hope we won't have to walk back. We are coming down a few days before the Congress opens just to visit. [3436] wondered, because of the heat, if it couldn't be held a month sooner next year? I'm enclosing some articles I gathered, one about the painting [...] found and I thought you might be interested.
I do hope you'll feel up to the five readings in one day. There are two for [3436] and three for me. They ganged up because twice caught you when you decided to come to New York, however you know best.
Hope you are not "over doing" and taking good care of yourself so you will enjoy the Congress rather than have it a hardship. I do hope your son will be on hand to complete things, [3435] would like to meet him.
Best love from [3435] and I and do your "stuff"!
