This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 25th day of April, 1929, in accordance with request made by self - Miss [3834], via David E. Kahn.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. L. B. Cayce.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have those conditions as surround the body [3834] and those relations physically, mentally, morally, as have and do exist as in the present. There may be much said as respecting the intent, purpose, and abilities of this body [3834] for much in ability as a talent has been given the body. Then much may be expected and required of same. Yet in this present experience there are seen questions and questioning of self and self's relation with others, and the fear that enters is JUSTLY the fear of those associations as HAVE already existed, and which brought such fearful results in the life or experience of the body through that period.
2. In the application, then, of self, there is seen that without the self so arming self, self's interests in the spiritual sense, that there will be the conditions arising in which UNSATISFACTORY conditions may be expected. Yet would the body so guard, so arm self with that of love, forbearance, peace, contentment; not merely satisfied, but content in the position and condition one finds self, and using that in HAND to BETTER understand and BETTER apply self in the SPIRITUAL sense, and THEN may there be expected, and may there COME, that as has been given, "First seek ye the Lord and all these things will be added unto you." DO that. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Do you advise me to continue going with him?
   (A) If so desired.
4. (Q) Can you tell me if his love is great enough for me to help him to succeed?
   (A) He must first learn to help himself. He that doubts! for the abilities are there - the SPIRIT is willing, the flesh is weak. There may come assistance in love, and FORBEARANCE.
5. (Q) If I continue going with him can you inform me as to how soon I will be married to him?
   (A) Tomorrow, if so desired!
6. (Q) Can you advise me whether he is the man for me to marry?
   (A) He would be ONE man to marry!
7. (Q) Will his future be successful in this business? and successful as a salesman which he intends to be for his concern?
   (A) With the application of self in the directions as have been outlined, and the way and manners as have been outlined, the life may be made a success. As is given, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, and the continued inability to see in self the LITTLENESS of self, by not being able to overcome self's own desires as to those of the secular nature, shows a very smallness, a very littleness. Would one gain the proper understanding, act in the manner towards others as the body would have OTHERS act towards them! Do NOT require of another in any position or place the body would NOT do, were self in the same position. We are through.

BACKGROUND

1. 4/15/29 [3834]'s letter to EC:
   "...I am very much in love with a young man whom I have known since June 2, 1928.
   "Friday evening, April 12th, our conversation drifted to financial difficulties and the only solution my friend came to was to part because he is in no condition to support me. He is in the metal bed and spring business for himself. They have just had a new spring patented in Albany, but it does not meet with their expectations and therefore he does not know what he can do. Sunday evening, April 15, 1929, he was terribly downhearted and wanted to give the business up. His business address is ... He is usually out all day but may be at his place of business in the morning between 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock. His name is [...], home address ..., N.Y... I am very anxious to know what the future holds for me in this matter. Therefore I would appreciate if you will answer these questions for me:
   1. Do you advise me to continue going with him? 2. Can you tell me if his love is great enough for me to help him to succeed? 3. If I continue going with him can you inform me as to how soon I will be married to him? 4. Can you advise me whether he is the man for me to marry? 5. Will his future be successful in this business? And successful as a salesman which he intends to be for his concern? 6. If not, what business is best for him? 7. Will my future with him be financially successful? 8. Does he love me well enough to want to marry me? 9. Will I be happy with him if I do marry him? 10. Can you tell me if at any time I will travel? 11. Will I have any children through marriage with him? 12. How can he make a success of this new pattern spring? 13. Advise me in general what to do under the prevailing circumstances.

REPORTS

1. 5/23/29 [3834]'s letter to GD:
   "...Miss Sidelman has informed me that you enquired of her how I liked the Reading. I have been so very busy or I should have written you sooner.
   "The Reading was all right on the whole and I have been helped by it in a measure as Mr. Kahn explained it to me. However, I was more or less disappointed inasmuch as the information seemed to be quite insufficient.
   "Of course, all the questions I sent down were not answered. However, by the time I get the balance of $10.00 paid up, I shall see how the situation is at that time.
   "When I send down for the next Reading, I would appreciate it if you would look them over and word them in such a way, if I have been unable to do so, to get definite answers from Mr. Cayce at the time the Reading is given.
   "Please thank Mr. Cayce for me and you, too, for your patience and help..."
2. 6/03/29 GD's letter to [3834]:
   "...Replying to yours of the 23rd, we will be glad to attend to the wording of any questions you may see fit to ask at the next Reading, and we certainly hope that we can make this of a worthwhile service to you..."
