Edgar Cayce Readings, 3590-1

Time and Place: 4:00 to 4:25 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Minn.

TEXT

GC: You will give the relations of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces; giving the conditions which are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth plane, giving time, place and the name, and that in each life which built or retarded the development for the entity; giving the abilities of the present entity, that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the records of that entity now called [3590].
In giving the interpretations of the records here, these we choose from the records with the desire and hope that this information may prove to be a helpful experience for the entity.
While the entity grows weary at times at the seemingly unattractive surroundings, we find that the entity in its dress should make itself the attractive surroundings for others. While there are those about the entity who are influenced and make remarks, the entity may through such efforts on its part make a great deal of impression for that the entity itself holds as the ideal - spiritual, mental, material.
The suggestion of the entity, even as to how individuals may in the present environ or surrounding cultivate those things as to grow mentally, will make for a change in the attitude of this whole community. For that's how the community looks up to this entity.
As to that, there should be so much time for recreation, so much time for social activities, so much time for improvement of mind, so much time for the improvement of body, so much time for rest. These set in motion in this community would bring for the entity the unbounding praise of many, as well as the good such would do in ANY community - if there were those so fitted as this entity to impress (and make it stick) such a program for any groups of people.
In analyzing urges from the astrological activity, we find Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury. This is not indicating, because of the manner in which each planet occupies its position, that Mercury is belittled in the mental aspirations or activities, but rather that the activities, conditions and diplomacy controlled through Mars and Jupiter are the more prominent in the activity of the entity.
The abilities to be the leader in the community is not too much for the entity to think or feel, or for it to act either! It doesn't have to brag or boast about it, for then the effectiveness is lost and it becomes self-purpose; but in the activities of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, we may find the helpful influences of a universal consciousness applied in the diplomatic manner that is a part of the experience will bring good in the experience and in the environs of the entity. And these will be sound judgments and be unfoldments and developments for the entity that will be sowing the seeds of that the entity sets as its ideal.
Apply that in the daily experience, then, and we will find life becoming more interesting, more worth while.
And what is life? God manifested in the material plane. For it is still in Him that we live and move and have our being. Thus life as a material manifestation is the expression of that universal force or energy we call God.
As to the appearances in the earth, these have been quite varied and quite far apart. While all may not be given, these will indicate the activities of the entity:
Before this the entity was among those in the early settlings of the land, when there was the general trek towards new fields of activity.
The entity was an associate of the pioneer peoples, in the name then Evelyn Prescott, and the entity journeyed much.
In the present there are the abilities to keep the records of activities in changes wrought in every form of human experience.
But the greater abilities for growth lie in the constructive influence the entity may have in the lives of others as these changes are wrought in their experiences.
Before that the entity was in the English land during those periods when there was the breaking up of the tribes of Israel [Zedekiah period? 2nd Chron. 36:10?].
The entity was a granddaughter of Hezekiah the king, and among those who set sail to escape when the activities brought the rest of the people into servitude in the Persian land.
Then the entity was among those who landed and set up the seat of customs as indicated in the altars built near what is now Salisbury, England [Stonehenge?]. These were the early traditions carried into those activities.
Then name then was Elemeshia. The entity gained in the ability as a leader, in the ability to influence others, the ability to control the activities of individuals in such a way as to make for the forming of moral habits and ideas in their material experiences.
Before that the entity was in the Yucatan land when the people settled there who came from Atlantis.
The entity was a priestess among those who set up a form of activity there; being also then associated with records that were attempted to be preserved from the old order of things in Atlantis.
We find that the entity established and added to, or detracted from, the circumstance decided upon as the expedient one for the change in clime and in surroundings.
The name then was Queetel, as would be translated.
As to the abilities of the entity in the present, that to which it may attain, and how:
These are limited only according to the entity's ideals. The abilities are efficient, especially in record-keeping and in activities in which it may contribute to the welfare of a household, a town, a community, in the way of ideals set not only for the young but for those who are establishing homes or businesses or becoming active in political or economic conditions through the land.
Ready for questions.
We are through with this Reading.

Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Mr. Cayce:
I have just finished reading the book written by Thomas Sugrue, containing the story of your life and want to tell you that I believe sincerely in the work you are doing. I have been interested in this line of thought for many years but as I live in rather a small town I have no one to whom I can even talk to regarding same but have read everything I could get hold of, and that is a great many books and find it more and more interesting. The few mediums that I have been able to contact have not been very satisfactory but I believe in you sincerely and am wondering if I could possibly get you to give readings for me. I am so much interested in reincarnation and would like so much to know something about my former lives and what I am supposed to work for. Would you please give me a reading, I think you call it a "Life reading"? I also would like a physical reading for both myself and my husband. I am enclosing $5. altho I understand there is no charge I want to make this offering. My name is: Mrs. [3590]. My husband's name is: [...]
If you will consent to do this I will be very grateful indeed and if there is anything you want me to do to help please let me know. Thank you so very much. May you continue your good work.
Most sincerely yours, Mrs. [3590]

Dear Mr. Cayce:
It has been so long since I wrote you you have no doubt forgotten all about our correspondence, but I have been so occupied with a leave that my son in the Navy and my daughters visit and as my house is small I haven't had a quiet moment to give to writing to you. However I have never forgotten and neither has my interest grown less. It is very interesting to know that you are acquainted with Mr. Sherman, author of "Thoughts Thru Space". You asked me what I thot of the book: I think he did a fine thing when he gave his time and energies to the experiments and they surely proved that the possibility of sending thots thru space is possible when people are properly sensitive. Also I think he did a fine thing in presenting it as he did as a scientific experiment as so many people will not accept such things only as they are presented by science, so his book should be a great help in that way.
I have again read over the literature sent me and will say again I am in complete sympathy with all you are doing. I am sending for your book "A Search for God" and several of the pamphlets as I want to find out all I can on this line of thot. I noticed that one of the comments regarding the book was given by Glenn Clark and tho I have only heard him speak once I almost feel I know him as he lives in St. Paul and of course I am a great admirer of Geo. Washington Carver.
I have hesitated to ask you to give me a reading when I did not have the money to pay for it as I have always paid my way but as you say you have a fund which takes care of that I have decided to ask for one however I am enclosing $7 to help and will send more later. I have no money of my own. I feel greatly in need of the reading and am looking forward with great eagerness to the time when I may get it. And I am more than willing to co-operate in any way I can. And as I am so much in sympathy with the work that my mind should be attuned to the reading. This is for a "Life Reading" and if it is possible for me to have a "Mental and Spiritual" one too that would be really grand as I feel I am at a cross road and if I could find myself it would be such a help.
Do you think you could send me the study lessons you have prepared for groups? I have no one to study with but maybe I could use them alone. If you think I could I would be very thankful for them for I want to advance in knowledge and understanding.
Could I please have a sample copy of your monthly publication?
I am filling out an application for Associate Membership as that is all I have, hope that is alright. I am eagerly waiting to hear from you. Thank you so very much.
Most sincerely, Mrs. [3590]

Dear Mr. Cayce:
I have a "Life Reading" scheduled for Dec. 30th and am eagerly looking forward to it.
And I have a "Mental and Spiritual" on Jan. 26th at 9.30 a.m. our time. At that time I will be sitting quietly in my bedroom in my home. The first reading was "sponsored" and for the second I have already sent you $5 and am now enclosing the remaining $15 to pay for same.
I am very grateful for the opportunity to have these and thank you in advance.
I am also enclosing $1 to put with the money you need to carry on. It is not much I know but if enough people give that it will help and from time to time I will send in more for that purpose.
I do hope you will find it possible to put out the literature that you are planning. I enjoy all of the pamphlets you send me and am interested in all the Association is doing.
I pray for the welfare of your sons who are in the Service and sincerely hope they will be home before the next holidays.
May you have peaceful and inspiring holidays.
Most sincerely yours,
Address: ..., Minn.

Dear Mr. Cayce:
I was happy to receive your letter and am eagerly looking forward to my readings.
You said I might ask some questions. I am glad to know that but as I know so little about the readings I am not sure what is permissible, but in my "Life Reading" I would like very much to know what the relations were between me and my family in our past incarnations. And have I accomplished the things I was supposed to in this incarnation. The greatest desire of my heart has always been to in some way contact the unknown. To me that seems the most desirable thing I could accomplish. Sometimes I have had little things but I want to know more. Will I be able to acquire any degree of knowledge in that line. You understand I am not especially interested in contacting entities unless they were very advanced souls - rather to touch the cosmic consciousness. Can I ever hope for that? Is there anything I could do to help myself toward that goal?
Maybe this last should come under my "Mental and Spiritual." I don't know.
I hope these questions are the right type of questions but am not sure.
Am enclosing $1. to help with postage.
Thank you so much.
Sincerely, Mrs. [3590]
Address: ..., Minn.
If it is possible to find out what the destinies of each of my family is to be I would be very happy to know that.
