5/45 Mrs. [
3514]'s "reading" for Miss [
3685]:
It is not necessary for you to be here for a "reading" but
if you should ever be in ... I should like very much to meet
you - my telephone number is ... Your letter was sent to Dr.
[...]'s office address - you will find the home address on
the envelope. And I should like meeting Betty Nuse - she
sounds like an interesting person.
Now for you - you are an ancient soul and as such, you have
taken on a heavy load of karma with a view to progress more
quickly by working out as much of it as possible in this
incarnation. That you will have to struggle with all kinds
of adversity need scarcely be mentioned but you have the
strength for it (otherwise it would not have been given to
you) and you will conquer in the end. This is a proof of
the great strength of the Ego which had at the time of its
incarnation the COURAGE TO TAKE UP A CROSS that would be too
heavy for many people. We have all laid out our road of life
ourselves and we have only ourselves to blame if this road we
are travelling often has steep slopes and sharp rocky points
but we also owe it to ourselves that the road is not void of
agreeable shady resting places and splendid vistas that renew
our strength as we go on. Thus we see that our character
makes our destiny.
I do not entirely agree with you and the psychologists that
you have "fear" of something - I would say that it was more
of a feeling of dread or premonition - for FUNDAMENTALLY
you have much courage and determination and are resourceful
enough to cope with any circumstances. This feeling of
"doom" hanging over you is the result of the karmic debt that
I was speaking of and was brought over from previous lives.
If I can find out what was the cause, I would not hesitate
to tell you for I KNOW YOU WOULD NOT FAIL in your attempt to
rectify it. Just know that you ARE rectifying it every day
of your life without realizing it. And please do not waste
time worrying about past mistakes for really from the Ego
or soul's point of view, they were not really "mistakes" for
if we have LEARNED OUR LESSONS, then how could they have been
"mistakes". I feel that you take life much too seriously.
If you brood over your troubles, you only fill your life with
gloom and it certainly does no good. Try to be sociable and
not to turn away from the sunshine of life. Since we know
that all things work together for final good, there is no
reason for the "blues".
You do have a serious and profoundly philosophical mind,
sound judgment and the ability to grasp opportunity. No
matter how handicapped you may be at the start of life, your
ultimate success is assured through PATIENCE, PERSEVERANCE,
TACT, DIPLOMACY AND SELF-CONTROL. You will not be defeated
no matter what the obstacles for the REAL YOU is fearless and
independent. Then when sorry has chastened you, you may hear
the "still small voice" of your higher self.
I do not know if you or your friends realize it but you
are emotionally inhibited. Though you show a somewhat cold
exterior (sort of a shell around you) YOU HAVE GREAT INNER
INTENSITY OF FEELING. Your best emotional outlet would be
through writing or music. I do not know if you brought over
any musical ability or not but it is a part of your inner
nature. You would find relaxation and peace through music
- preferably the organ, if you have the time and the ability
- if not, then buy some good organ records and use them for
your periods of meditation. This will relieve your state of
hypertension.
There is no question about your ability for writing - this
should be along the lines of higher philosophy, anything of
an occult nature. I like Mr. Cayce's suggestion that you
write for children or young people. There is quite a demand
now for occult fiction - I am sure that you, too, often
hear these stories on the radio and find them in the popular
magazines. That's the type of thing you could do well,
stories with a moral - the public has to be fed the truth in
small doses, just a spoonful at a time and I know you can do
it!
I intuitively sense that you belong to my Egyptian
incarnation. At that time I was the high-priestess and you
were a scribe at the Temple. This was during the Golden Age
of Egypt. If you re interested, you can get a book at the
library on the Queens of Egyptian Antiquity and see if...
