EC: Without regard the will of the individual, these are
inclinations, though as conditions that have reason in the
environment and the plane of development has changed much,
the individual itself, both in manner and in its view toward
things either of the material or physical plane and spiritual
or soul plane, see?
1 The tendency then as we find - one
strong of body, yet gross with the force of a secular nature.
One given to viewing the finer arts from afar, becoming ever
a part of these, yet ever keeping them at a distance. One
whose destiny lies in success nearer the middle portion
of its life on this plane. One that we find will bring
destructive forces through its own appetites unless governed
by the will forces of the soul portion of the individual.
One given to view matters with a great perspective view of
conditions. Ruled by Jupiter force with Venus in the 11th
house. Hence only the affairs of heart or affection enter
once in the life. Those of financial, through the position
of aris [Aries] and septemus [Septimus] give the force
through financial plane which will be in the ascendency to
the last days on this plane, and for some generations to come
its effect will be there unless the will cut this short. One
by the position of the forces as given in that of Neptune to
be away from those of the watery nature. Hence all forces
this body deals with must be of those in productive forces
and not become in its nature in any way or manner referring
to water. One well balanced to deal with individuals whose
birthday comes in March, August and October, see? One whose
greater force lies in the development of self toward the
psychic forces as is reached through the position of Jupiter
with that of Uranus. One whose forte lies in control of men.
To this body nothing is ever lost. Far from the influence of
Saturn, that planet to whom all insufficient matter is cast
from the earth plane.
In giving this from this plane, we have the effect both
of the living and of the will force with the astronomical
conditions to be kept in line, see? Hence the difficulty in
giving the disposition and the appetites of the individual
as an individual entity. For we have both forces to compete
with. Strong willed and self-reliant, is individual. This
developed rather than of the natural forces. One that goes
far to develop in the present sphere. Third appearance on
this plane. He was once a monk.

Mars plays little part in this individual's life, hence the
vulnerable spirit, that is, lack of fear through any force,
form or nature, and the resistance or repulsion toward
firearms of any kind.
We are through.
9/27/76 GD's note: I've just discovered that reincarnation
was mentioned in Physical Reading
4841-1 on
4/22/11, with the
explanation of the soul, subconscious mind, several
embodiments, etc.]
1 [Evidently some sort of suggestion was given by Linden
Shroyer to obtain a horoscope reading.]
2 [
10/05/64 GD's note: So far as we know this is the first
reference in the Edgar Cayce readings to reincarnation, or
at least a definite former incarnation of an individual.
BACKGROUND
Mr. [
5717] was interested in metaphysical subjects,
especially astrology. Having previously secured Physical
Readings for his niece, [
3761], and for his niece [
4226],
he persuaded Edgar Cayce to try for him a Horoscope Reading.
No doubt he gave his birth information but there is no record
of it. [GD's note: Years later we obtained birthdate from
birth certificate.]
REPORTS
10/12/23 Mr. [
5717], according to notation by Linden Shroyer
in the Red Date Book, secured a reading, 11:00 A.M., asking
questions about permanent world peace. However, no copy of
that reading has been found.
10/18/23 Mr. [
5717] was present for his Ck. Life Rdg. - see
5717-2.
