TEXT

1. EC: We have the entity and those relations with the universal forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present earth's plane, with those as builded through the sojourns in the earth's plane in the various conditions, with the development and retarding, as is seen in these conditions as are as individualities and personalities in the present earthly sojourn.
2. In taking the position, then, in the present earth's plane, we find one under the influence of Venus and Jupiter, with Mercury, and Uranus in the benevolent influences of that curious planet's influence on earthly individuals, and the adverse influence in Mars and Saturn.
3. Then, as the personality, we find one that is ever seeking for those truths as ARE TRUTHS in the mystic forces and attempting to gain the WHY.
4. One that is ruled rather by love than by force. One that may be induced, through kindness and affection, to do that even adverse to best interest of self, yet one that may not be driven by force to do that even best for own physical welfare. One that is quick to anger and in some instance holds malice, yet well balanced in that control through love influence, though when antagonism arises, one that is a match for the next one.
5. One that loves the arts of the physical life. One that music brings many various conditions to the entity and at times is very averse to certain tunes, airs or melodies, and at others this same music seems to become a part of the individuality of the entity.
6. One that loves the usage of worldly possessions for the worldly possession realities in physical, rather than for benevolent or beneficent purposes in same, yet the love and the big heartedness of the influence in Jupiter brings much of this world's goods to the entity in the disposing of same. Well, then, for entity to take account of self and know that to him that hath, and uses aright, to him shall be given. To him that hath and abuses that privilege, to him shall be taken away even that he seemeth to have.
7. One that finds in the mystic forces those conditions that, with the study of same and with the proper conception of its (the force's) influence, might develop to the point of the ability to give the characteristic of any individual by a concept as would be termed an intuitive force, or through that known as animal telepathic force.
8. One that loves the small things rather than big things, as to that making the most in the life. That is, a kindness shown to the entity, or one whom the entity holds close in the affections, means more than great riches or great amount of something done that glory of the usage of same might be seen of men.
9. One that we would give many of the better elements in the application of the mental and spiritual forces than in the physical for physical sense. One not sensual, or one not cold. One that is in the way of meeting the greater forces in the life in the coming months of the coming year, for with the triune in Jupiter and Venus, with the Uranian influence in the earth's plane, we find near the 23rd of April will bring the new thought in the entity's forces, which if applied in the manner as has been shown would bring the greater development to the entity and much peace, joy and happiness, though not without its sacrifice necessary in the physical concept of same.
10. The appearances, as we see, have much to do with the present condition in the earth's plane.
11. In the one before this we find in the days when the Roman rule was in the French country. The entity then in that of the Empress to the King that was set in that new rule, for then in the name of Ariaca, and the entity then developed and lost in the development, for then, through that of madness in temper, brought the destructive forces in the life, and the entity finds in the present sphere one of the hardest conditions to overcome is madness, or of control of self when those conditions that produce a condition of temperament in the system and is termed by many at the present time as a temperamental and peculiar in certain ways and manners.
12. In the one before this we find in the days when the rule in the country where the peoples of the Promise came to the foreign shores in now America, the entity then in the one who came as the mother in the first of those peoples. Then in the name Ibeois, and the entity developed much in that plane and gained much spiritual understanding of the developments of people, learning little of the usage of the conditions in physical that are called earthly combined forces, and in the present urge we find that as given regarding the usage of that called monies in the present sphere, and which needs be brought into that condition of being used aright.
13. In the one before this we find in the days when the rebuilding of the walls of the Holy City. The entity then in that one who assisted in the gathering of those necessary usages of temple service in that day. Then in the name Lydsia, and the entity then gave much of self in this holy service and aided many in their understandings of physical, moral and spiritual laws, especially concerning the temple worship. In the present, the urge we find comes towards that of the reverence towards all things considered holy, or all concept of holy service, and the entity may develop same to a higher degree.
14. In the one before this we find in that day when the forces of man were being spread in that country now known as the Ganges, and the entity then in the name Gerrei, and the entity then the Priestess and the leader of the worship to the new forces set in that country. The entity then brought the destructive forces to self through bringing self-aggrandizement to the individual. In the urges, as is seen, the desire for the understanding of the mysteries in physical life.
15. Then, that to which the entity may develop in the present plane, and how, would, as given, be through those new forces as will come in the present plane in April. Give self in the study of those forces and in the correct application of same, forgetting not that through the Giver of all good and perfect gifts there is the hope that is necessary to be answered from within self, and that the self must ever answer to that divine force in self, for these are NOT afar off, but may manifest through self in the physical world. Then apply self to that as will be set before self, that the greater understanding, the greater joys, the greater peace, may be known in the present earth's plane.
16. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 12/28/25 EC's letter to [4869]:
   115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va.
   Mrs. [4129] ..., Va.
   Dear Mrs. [4869]:
   Please find enclosed the Life Reading for Mrs. [4129]. We thank you very much for attending to this for us, also for your visit and your interest in the work, and we trust we shall have the pleasure of seeing you again.
   The card enclosed is for Mrs. [4129] to fill out and return to us and we would appreciate your asking her to do this, as we like to keep these for our records.
   Thanking you again, and trusting to have been of service, I am
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
2. 1/05/26 Letter enquired about the meaning of the astrological prediction, etc: "What is the new thought and in what manner was it shown?"
3. 1/06/26 EC's reply:
   My dear Mrs. [4129]:
   Replying to yours of the 5th, I can only give you my understanding of the paragraph you refer to. That is, that on or about the 23rd of April, Jupiter, Venus and Uranus will be at a triune or at an angle to each other. These planets' influence in your life, as they do, will bring to you, through that influence acquired by your own self, in the spheres of these, some individual, or some new idea regarding an individual in the present earth's plane, and were the suggestions as given (which again I believe refer to those forces which manifest themselves through you), then these would bring you joy, peace and happiness; though necessarily, from the very manner of their character, from a physical viewpoint there must be a sacrifice made to enjoy them.
   Now, I hope my explanation has not made matters worse instead of better, but assuring you of our interest in trying to assist you in understanding just that you desire to know, and as I told you when talking to you, should there now be specific questions on this that you desire to ask, please make note of them and we will do our best. I'm sorry to know the illness of your baby and trust that he has entirely recovered. With kindest personal regards,
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
4. 9/02/29 She [Mrs. [4129]] and her father referred Mr. [5575] for a reading.
5. 11/18/29 She requested and was sent a copy of her Life Rdg.
6. GD's note: In 1941 the entire estate of her wealthy parents was bequeathed to her, an only child.
7. 5/09/66 GD's note: Mrs. [4129] has given the last 25 yrs. of her life to humanitarian acts, contributing greatly in dedicated service to the handicapped, especially the blind, the mentally retarded. She is active in the Fine Arts, especially sculpture. Apparently she learned to "use aright" the great amount of money left to her by her parents in 1941, which her reading warned she should do. From 1929 to 1941 she ran the distinguished women's fashion store left her by her father, and in 1941 when her mother died the entire estate of her wealthy parents was bequeathed to her.
8. 1/31/67 She died.
