This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at Phillips Hotel, Room 115, Dayton, Ohio, this 15th day of May, 1924, in accordance with request made by Mr. Edgar Cayce.

[Edgar Cayce; Linden Shroyer, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.]

Time of Reading Phillips Hotel, 11:35 A. M. Dayton, Ohio.

  1. LS: Would it be in accord with the forces to ask for information relative to sports or races or other conditions of that character, when returns from same are to be used for the furtherance of the psychic work as being done by Mr. Cayce? Please answer this fully and at length.

  2. EC: As has been given, only that information may be used as does not give one individual the advantage over another. It is never right to do that which is evil that good may come, and with the foundation of work as classified under that of spiritual understanding of the soul and physical forces in an individual would only mean such institution or work was founded upon shifting sands. Only render that unto God that is God’s and to Caesar the things of Caesar. In every sport or undertaking or race, there must be some winner, but as has been given tempt not God, thy Creator, but live by the words of Life, as He has given.

  3. In every character then that would reflect to Him that would be made to understand the calling and election of Him that would be made perfect in Him. Avoid that which is evil and cleave to that which is good. Let that mind be in you as was in the Master, and cleave only to the good that may be done to others, without the expense and the questioning of the intent, and in all keep thyself unspotted from the world.

  4. It would not be in keeping or in accord with that being attempted through the work or forces.
