This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 16th day of May, 1931, in accordance with request made by self - Miss [275].

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

Time of Reading … Ave., 11:25 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, N.Y.

1. GC: You will have before you the information in the life reading through these sources for [275] on October 13, 1930. You will now give the place, time, description of life, with its resultant karma in entity’s incarnation as Partheniasi. You will answer the questions which will be asked concerning these.

2. EC: Yes, we have the information as given relative to the entity’s sojourn in the earth’s plane as Partheniasi.

3. As we find, the record as is BUILDED by an entity in the akashian record is to the mental world as the cinema is to the material or physical world, as pictured in its activity. So, in the direction to an entity and its entrance into the material plane in a given period, time, place - which indicate the relative position of the entity as related to the universe or to the universal sources - then one only turns, as it were, to those RECORDS in the akashian forms to read that period of that builded or that lost during THAT experience.

4. In this entity’s experience and the karma builded, or that to be met in the various experiences of the entity:

5. During the period in Nero’s reign in Rome, in the latter portion of same, the entity was then in the household of Parthesias - and one in whose company many became followers of, adherents to, those called Christians in the period, and during those persecutions in the arena when there were physical combats. The entity was as a spectator of such combats, and under the influence of those who made light of them; though the entity felt in self that there was more to that held by such individuals, as exhibited in the arena, but the entity - to carry that that was held as necessary with the companionship of those about same - laughed at the injury received by one of the girls [301] [GD’s note: [301] is now her brother [282]‘s wife, living in the same household and helping to nurse [275]. See 275-23, Par. 4-A.] in the arena, and SUFFERED in MENTAL ANGUISH when she saw later - or became cognizant of - the physical suffering brought to the body OF that individual during the rest of the sojourn. The suffering that was brought was of a MENTAL nature, and when music - especially of the lyre, harp, or of the zither - was played, the entity SUFFERED most; for the song and the music that was played during that experience brought - as it were - the experience to the entity. Hence in meeting same in the present, there has been builded that which the entity passes through, or “under the rod” - as it were - of that as of being pitied, laughed at, scorned, for the inability of the personal body to partake of those in the material activities as require the need of all of the physical body; yet in the music, in the acceptance, in the building of those forces through that which laughed at, which scorned, - though knowing; now KNOWING, laugh to scorn those who would DOUBT the activities of the forces that build in a material body that activity in every cell, every force, to make a perfect body. Ready for questions.

6. (Q) Give exact guidance how entity can best make good her karma during this life. (A) As has been outlined, that - now knowing that as is to be met, no scorn, no sneer, but with patience, with fortitude, with praise, with the giving of pleasure in music, in kindnesses, in gentle words, in bespeaking of that as may build for a perfect mind, a perfect soul, a perfect body, may the entity overcome those things that have beset - that not often understood, those things that so easily beset us; making the will one with the Creator and the Creative Forces. Be used by THEM, and the channel - the cup will run over with blessings. Those things that easily beset bespeak not of those only that are weaknesses in the flesh; but the weaknesses in the FLESH are the scars of the soul! and these, only in that of making the will one with His, being washed - as it were in the blood of the lamb. We are through.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 6/14/31 She wrote: “I want to let you know what my rdg. on my one incarnation has meant to me. Whenever I hear any string instrument played I feel the most peculiar sensations running through me, often like a catching of breath; but still I like it. So I can so well feel how I must have mentally suffered then when I heard the music played. It explains it all to me. The rdg. showed me so clearly, and beautifully, how to make good my karma, that it really makes life well worth living. Some day I hope to have a rdg. on every one of my incarnations.”

Dear Gladys:

“We had a wonderful day with Mr. Cayce yesterday here at our home! It was so nice to see him once more… I spoke to Mr. Cayce about having a rdg. on one of my incarnations, and he said he would give it to me next week. I am so anxious to have it. Please ask the following questions: Give place, time, description of life, with its resultant karma in my incarnation as Partheniasi. Describe my act, what caused it, and its resultant effect, when I laughed at another’s sincerity. Give names of ruler and family and my relation to same. Describe in what way I suffered in that incarnation. Who is giving this information?”
