This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 20th day of August, 1939, in accordance with request made by Miss [1612], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.]

Time of Reading 11:30 to 11:40 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. London, England.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1767].

3. As we find, the conditions and their causes are very well understood.

4. Those administrations are very good that are being made, in keeping the body quiet, - as well as that to cause the better distribution of the circulation without engorging the heart’s activity or the flow between the heart, the liver and the lungs.

5. As we find, the Digitol (?) instead of Digital (?) would be the more effective, but administered in the same way and manner.

6. We find that the use of the Radio-Active Appliance would be MOST helpful to give the rest that is needed, and equalize the impulses more in the extremities of the body; thus eliminating the tendencies for contraction of the muscular forces in the limbs, and aiding in the general equalization. Do not use it more than thirty minutes at a time, but keep plates very clean and circulate the attachments about the body; but it may be used at least twice each day.

7. In the diets, - those foods that are easily assimilated. We find that occasionally the Jerusalem artichoke would be most helpful, EASING those tendencies in the liver and pancrean area for the formations of sugars there, that tend to produce that hardness [cirrhosis?] that becomes a part of the disturbance - in the liver area.

8. This would ease also the kidneys and their ability for functioning, - also the general eliminations would materially aid this.

9. The Jerusalem artichoke we would give at least three to four times each week, and this will prove much better than insulin.

10. When cooked, cook in its own juices, preserving them all. It may be taken raw AND cooked, - that is, one time raw, the next time cooked, etc.

11. Do that.

12. Ready for questions.

13. We are through for the present.

R3. 9/19/39 HLC’s letter to Miss [1612]:

Dear Miss [1612]-

Both my father and I learned with the deepest regret of the passing of Mr. [1767]. We considered it an opportunity and a privilege to meet him in your home.

The change which we call death cannot be the end of a life so filled with activity. As you so well understand, your prayer and thought may do much in helping him make the necessary adjustments in a new state of consciousness. His work ahead must be even greater than his many services in the past.

May we extend our expressions of deepest sympathy and understanding.

Sincerely, HLC Miss [1612] New York City

R4. 1/9/41 HLC’s letter to Miss [1612]:

Miss [1612] New York City

PLEASE FORWARD

Dear Miss [1612]-

I am writing you to the New York address, and hope it will be forwarded. Bulletins and other second-class literature sent to you there have been returned. Several papers have been published in which I think you would be interested. So, I’ll be glad to have your new address, in order that we may keep in touch with you.

Various developments have taken place with regard to our Association activities. I’d like to tell you about some of them.

We have been able to complete our new offices, vault and library, and have begun our work of cross-indexing the thousands of Readings in the files. As this work goes along we will also extract material under a variety of subject headings. The more progress made in this direction, the more complete will be our publications and research papers.

A good New York publisher has signed a contract for a book on my father’s life and work. This will focus considerable attention upon our efforts. I hope that we will be in a position to make an advantageous presentation.

The next vital and important step is this indexing and extracting work. Before a really scientific study and presentation can be made, our cross-indexing must be set up and a goodly amount of material under subject headings gotten out so that it may be used by individuals and groups who have need of it. For example, we believe that he osteopathic profession would be glad to have reports and studies on various types of cases which have been suggested through the Readings. Many of these are of unusual natures that represent advances in osteopathic technique. Many specifics have been given that have been helpful in many individual cases, that should be tried in clinics so that not only the individual but groups might be benefited. The absolute proof of clairvoyant and telepathic powers indicated in the Readings will alone make valuable research studies in this particular field of investigation. From the Life Readings we have many valuable suggestions for vocational guidance and historical data which are most significant when complied. This work requires a comparatively small expenditure for supplies and clerical help, yet represents one of the most important steps in psychic research which may be taken in this country. There is little question in the minds of any investigators, - even those that have been most critical, - but that we have one of the most amazing collections of psychic data in the country. It is important that we go forward with this work as quickly as possible, in order to secure the best possible results from the publication of a book on my father’s life and work.

My father tells me that when we last saw you in New York you discussed with him the possibility of a memorium to Mr. [1767] in connection with our undertakings. This would be a wonderful opportunity in regard to time and means of expression. There has never been, in the history of our work, a more important and forward looking step, nor one that would mean more to large numbers of people.

I hope that you will give this careful consideration and let me write you in more detail regarding this program.

With kindest regards and best wishes for the New Year, from both my father and myself, I am

R5. 1/18/41 Miss [1612]‘s letter to HLC:

Dear Mr. Cacey [Cayce]:-

It was nice to hear from you. I have been here in California since last summer awaiting the time when I will be called to New York by legal matters pertaining to Mr. [1767]‘s estate. They seem to be holding it back for some reason.

It is doubtful that there will be much left by the time they get thru manipulating things to suit themselves. I find Calif. very helpful as it is such a complete change, and I did not care to remain in New York after this death.

If you ever come out this way I hope you will look me up. I am just half way between Los Angeles & San Diego ”…” in ”…”

Please remember me to your father.

Sincerely [1612]

P. O. Box … …, California

R6. 2/7/41 HLC’s letter to Miss [1612]:

Dear Miss [1612]-

We were glad to hear from you again and to have your address. Some of our Bulletins are mailed second class and have been returned to us.

The enclosed booklet [2941 - By Thomas Sugrue - see below] was written by my friend Tom Sugrue who is now writing the book on my father’s life and work. This young man has been ill with arthritis for over two years. For the past year he has been here in our home and I have taken care of him. This little booklet was written to be used in a college annual and later was put in this form by Mr. Sugrue as a Christmas booklet. Watch the names (spelling is backwards) as you read it and the beauty of the symbology will become apparent.

It may be necessary for me to go into the army in June and we are working hard to get Association matters straightened out before that time. With the publication of my father’s book there will be a focusing of interest on the work and I would like to be prepared to show just what we are doing.

I hope that you will find it possible to create a memorial for Mr. [1767] in connection with some phase of our work. His Life Reading showed a definite connection and interest and I am confident that we are in a position to make a real contribution to this field of research.

The work ahead of completely cross indexing the thousands of readings in our files, and of extracting information under various subject headings, is the most important first step and one that must be taken before we can present our findings in a scientific manner. The expense of this work lies mainly in clerical help and the necessary supplies, yet would represent a vital and necessary phase of our activity. As a result our information could flow to publication outlets, to research groups and individuals interested in particular aspects of this field. A comparatively small amount is needed for this work.

I am sure you must be enjoying California. I have only visited that state once but enjoyed it very much then.

With kindest regards from both my father and myself,

[Handwritten message to [1612] from Thomas Sugrue]: Merry Christmas -

hope you and I will be here when this all comes true.

A Christmas message sent in the hope that its glimpse of a a new and better tomorrow for humanity will lighten this holiday season when the world is heavy with grief and sick with hurt.

And in that time, so the prophets have written: when the Twentieth Century shall have passed away, and the sign of the God-man is in the sky: peace shall reign upon earth, and no man shall hate his brother.

Neither shall there be war, nor pestilence, nor poverty, nor any other of the shameful things which man has done unto himself since first he knew shame.

And a great land shall have risen out of the ocean of the Atlantic, and many islands also, to care for those who were forced from their homes in the land that destroyed itself, that was called Europe.

Nations that are great shall have perished, and all men, seeking to be brothers, shall have put their hands to a common pledge, and raised up a single force to rule them: the force of wisdom.

Then wisdom shall sit in the palaces of the cities, and on the mountain tops, and breathe in the hearts of men.

Wise men shall sit in judgement, and order the ways of their brethren, and listen for the voice of God.

For wisdom is the knowledge of God, and of His whereabouts, and of His laws and His mercy, and the beauty of His creations.

So wisdom brings peace, and teaches love, and sets the face of man toward his spirit.

And in that time these things shall be, and the earth and the sky and the sea shall open to man their secrets.

Atoms shall put their shoulders to the wheels of commerce, so that trees may grow unharried, and rest in their graves of coal and oil without hindrance.

Sound from heaven shall bend itself to the ears of man, that he may hear the music of the spheres, and understand the rhythms of his soul.

Colors and perfumes shall rise up from the sea to fashion beautiful images, and nourish the dreams of the young.

And through all the land, love, like a famished child, shall sit down to a feast, and rise up filled with joy.

No soldiers shall march; no guns shall sound; no bitterness or lies shall do disservice to the lips of anyone.

No debts shall be made; yet all promises shall be fulfilled. Death shall come to meet no man; all men shall go to meet death.

In the spring forget-me-nots shall blanket the fields, and the hearts of maidens shall turn to the hearts of men, and the sun shall follow its course in the heavens.

And God shall be pleased a little, looking at man, and tint the roses with a deeper red, and raise the skylark in the sky.

Now in those days there grew to beauty and fullness in the high hills far from the cities a girl child, whose name was Evol, the daughter of Thiaf and Epoh.

And her beauty surpassed that of any of the women who had gone before her, for her thoughts were of God and she dwelt in the halls of her spirit.

She ran through the woods with the deer, and knelt to drink from brooks with gazelles, and climbed into the trees to sing with the birds.

But when the time was come her mother spoke, and she laid aside these things, and girded herself to go to the cities.

For she knew that she had to seek wisdom, and find it, or death would seek her out.

So she put on the silver boots of her grandmother, Threa, and tied around her the golden belt of her grandfather, Nus, and prepared to go.

Then they made for her food for the journey; for there were then foods made for the pleasure of eating, and foods made for the necessity of eating, and foods made for the spirit, which were given in sleep.

They gave her also a helmet, with which to signal the heavens, and draw from it heat to surround her body, light to show her the way in darkness, and music and speech to delight her while she travelled.

To her golden belt they fastened the keys to the helmet, that she might touch them with the steel tips of her fingernails, and bring to her service all things that were outside herself.

Then she entered the great soaring plane that silently each day passed over the mountains, and she rode in it over other mountains, and over seas, until she came to the place of the cities.

And she saw how they rode below her in great ships that skimmed over the houses, and how at each horizon the towers stood up to catch the short, quick rays of power and feed them to the ships.

She saw how they rode on the ground, on sticks that lifted them off the ground and carried them like the witches of prehistoric times.

She saw how they rode on the seas as of old, in ships graceful as girls, with white sails; and this they did, she knew, for pleasure, and to know beauty.

The commerce of the world passed below and above her, untended by man, rocketing to its destinations on lanes of vibration; but this, she knew, would soon be over, for all things could now be made by all men, from anything.

Then night came, and she touched the key that clothed her with the blue light of Venus, and the plane dipped down to the shining city, and she stepped forth to meet her destiny in the Temple of Wisdom and Beauty.

They met her at the door of the Temple, and stripped her of the garments she wore, and of her helmet, and of all which she had but her golden belt and her silver boots.

Then they covered her with a cloak of lambs’ wool that was dyed in many colors, and took her to the teacher Ega; and he gave her the key to her bedchamber, that she might dwell amongst them, and be instructed.

And Evol was filled with happiness, and a great quiet: and women came to minister unto her.

They bathed her in the waters of purification, until her skin gave up no more evil; then they gave her to eat of food that brings thought.

They spoke of her of wisdom, and pressed with their fingers upon the seven mountains of her being: that these might also hear.

They sang to her, and taught her the harmonies of the stars, and let her listen to them with her heart.

They wrote numbers, and showed her the truth in them, and marked her with them, that she might know herself.

They took her to look at the heavens at night, and read them to her as one reads a book, that she might know that everything is of God, and is ordered by God’s law, and can in no way escape from it.

They placed her before mirrors at noon, and showed her to herself, that she might know that she was of God, and was ordered by God’s law, and might in no way escape it.

They bathed her in the waters of beauty, and rubbed her skin with oils, and removed from her all blemishes and all that was not symmetrical and true, so that now she was more beautiful: now she was perfect.

All day she spoke with her teachers, studying man, and God, and earth, and herself: making music, and shaping in clay and words and paint the images that lived in her spirit.

All night she slept with her head toward the Pole Star, and her couch was flooded in blue light, and the planets sang to her as they rose in the sky.

Thus did she grow in grace and in knowledge, and Ega told her the story of Man, and how he went from God:

And how God sought him, that he might return, and gave him grace, and wisdom, and even more:

His Only Begotten Son, Who came into the world and died for it, that a way might be made for salvation.

And how man had been blind, and God had been patient, and the Spirit of Truth had been denied: until God moved the mountains, and parted the seas, and banished those who did not seek His face: for this was the law.

And Evol listened, and pondered what she heard, and prayed that she might not do evil.

Now in the dusk, when the Evening Star was risen, Evol lay on her couch and turned her mind upon itself, and spoke with her mother, Thiaf, and her father, Epoh, whom she had left in the mountains.

And they spoke to her in their minds, and told her that they had been with her in all that she did, and had joyed in her learning.

Then she answered them, and told them of the things that now were hers: for to know is to possess, once and for all, and she had come to know these things:

That the illusion of diversity is a pleasure of the flesh, and the source of wisdom is the singleness of truth.

That all things are of the same essence, and out of this is made everything, from the hardest stone to the butterfly’s wing, by the law, and by those who know the law.

That to know the law is to live the law, and this is the purpose of life, and the patience of heaven, and the joy of struggle: and the law is the law of love.

So it is not well that a man hate another man, for all men are of God, and he who hates another hates God and himself.

Nor is it well to sleep in the mind, for there is no way to live the law and know the law except in the mind, and if the mind does not know the law then it dwells in the dust, and works evil, and goes away from the face of God.

But a man must feed his body, and this is well, so long as he remembers that his body is not like that of an animal, but is a chalice for the water of eternal life.

So should the body be made beautiful, and kept purified, and not shut away from the mind and the spirit: so that it, too, may hear the music of the stars, and lift itself up toward God with tears and laughter.

For the body is also of God, and was given to man as a temple and in it the spirit dwells: and through it enter those others who would fulfill the law, and who therefore must live in the earth.

And body, and mind and soul shall be made one, and wisdom shall lift them up, and they shall be with their Father in heaven: and beauty and truth shall be their footstools.

These were the things that Evol knew, and when she had said them to Thiaf, her mother, and Epoh, her father, they answered and said to her:

Ours is a great happiness: for we believed these things, yet we knew them not; you believe them, yet you also know them. We are fulfilled in you.

Then Evol was glad, and she rose up from her couch, and went forth to the high balcony of the Temple, and sang to the Evening Star.

Then the day came when Evol was to go forth into the world and do those things which now she knew were her purpose in life: for unless these things were done, death would come to meet her.

So she went to the hospitals that were high on the hills, and ministered to the sick; she cleansed them of illusion, and healed them of hate, and put ointments upon their melancholy.

She called to their spirit in song, and shaped their bodies to symmetry, and killed desire in the night with prayer and the light of truth.

And she went from the hills, and into the countryside, and called the people about her, and said: I will build you a temple to the one God, and you will seek Him there, and find Him.

Then she taught them, and they listened and did as she bade, and the temple was raised up.

It seemed from without a pyramid, but the vault within was curved as an egg, and the floor was made in a cross:

There were seven stairways to seven altars, and twelve windows that looked to the heavens, and five doors that swung open to the world.

And the seventh altar was white, and the sixth altar was blue, and the fifth altar was red, and the fourth altar was green, and the third altar was gold, and the second altar was silver, and the first altar again was white.

And she taught them to sing in the temple, and make songs out of their thoughts, and raise them up to God:

And she taught them to shape images of their dreams in story and marble and oil, and hang them upon the walls of the altars.

She went with them into their homes, and counselled them in ways of living.

She spoke to the women of ornament, and decoration, and showed them how each was herself a temple:

A temple to be anointed and purified, and hung with the most beautiful of creations, to the glory of God Who dwells within.

She spoke to the children of God, and the grace He had placed on their heads.

And they listened to her and learned, and did as she bade, and the temple was filled with their voices.

They played at being themselves, and told tales of themselves, and sang of their journey up the seven stairways of salvation.

They lived happily in their homes, and the sun shone on them through roofs of glass, and flowers were always with them.

Then Evol was glad in her heart, for she knew that this work was done, and her last fulfillment was riding toward her in the night.

He came down out of the high hills, and his name was Etaf, and his beauty was a harp in Evol’s heart. Likewise he looked on her, and knelt before her.

But she raised him up and put her arms about his neck, and kissed him as any maid kisses her man: and he held her to him as any man holds his maid.

Then they went up to the temple and pledged their troth at each of the seven altars, and looked at the heavens from each of the twelve windows, and prayed.

And they went out of the place of the cities, and came to a place where the meadows meet the hills, and the streams of the mountains come together to water the plains:

There they dwelt, and built their home, with cedars that gave perfume, and glass that gave light, and flowers and trees and herbs to fill their living with joy.

And children came to them, and they taught them, and took them to see the world, and to learn all things.

And the children grew in grace and wisdom, and went forth into the world, and knew it, and labored in it.

Nor did Evol and Etaf try to retain them: but let them go, and walked in the hills together, and studied the twilight on the peaks.

And they contemplated beauty, and rejoiced in it, and touched with their hands the earth and the fleece of lambs; and looked on fields of wheat; and felt the snowdrops nestle at their feet.

They lay on their couches and turned their minds inward, and spoke with the wise men and women of the earth, and questioned them:

For they were at peace, but they knew in their wisdom that the things they knew were but shadows of the things that are, and that true knowledge was hidden from them yet:

It lies behind seven times seven veils: the breath of time will shake them, but only patience will lift them.

So they spoke of shadows; but they sought truth: and sometimes they heard it, and sometimes they saw it, and sometimes, for a little while, they knew it.

Thus were they content, and the earth was content with them: and many came to sit with them, to partake of their wisdom: And God was pleased with what they had done.

So when the earth turned once again, in that time: so the prophets have written: and forget-me-nots were in the fields, and brooks were shrill, and blossoms burst their buds, these two took hands and walked against the sun, across the meadows:

And no man saw them anymore, or knew where they had gone: but the wind saw them pass, and the stars were witness to their flight: and all the dreams of children heard their song.
