This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 27th day of November, 1926, in accordance with request made by self - Miss [288].

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

Time of Reading 1:10 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Virginia.

1. GC: You will have before you [288], present in this room, and the enquiring mind of this body, and the dreams this body had on the date which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained from this, as I read same to you.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [288]. This we have had here before. The dreams as come to this body, as to most other bodies, are the correlation of body-conscious, or mental-conscious, or both, with the subconscious experiences of the entity as relating to physical conditions through which the mental and body-conscious mind passes. And in the state of transudation of the body-conscious to the subconscious forces the entity receives impressions in dreams or visions of those experiences as may be applied in the life, or in the action, or that study of the entity as regarding conditions about the entity. Ready for dream.

3. (Q) Saturday morning, Nov. 27, 1926. “Mr. [195] and Dr. [5618] were here. Mr. [195], several others and myself were in the front room, while Dr. [5618] and others were sitting out on the front porch. Suddenly someone called to Mr. [195] to come quick, to hurry. I looked out the window and saw Dr. [5618] sitting in an aeroplane, and the aeroplane slowly rising. There was a rope hanging down from the machine. Dr. [5618] was sitting calmly in the machine, holding onto something. He knew he couldn’t jump out from that distance from the ground, so he was apparently not excited. I told Mr. [195] to hurry. He ran out as fast as he could. The plane was slowly going higher and higher. By jumping up Mr. [195] was able to catch the end of the rope before it got out of reach. Then he climbed into the plane with Dr. [5618] and they flew off. Someone said they would be alright now, as [195] knew how to guide the machine, and someone else said they guessed Dr. [5618] would take a little spin, now that he had gotten started. The next day, or maybe the same day, [2457] and her children came. [538] was provoked, and said she couldn’t understand why [2457] came back again during the same summer, for she had visited her in June and now she had come back in September. I had a fuss with [259] or quarrelled with [2457] about [259]. Then [1312] and [852] came, and later one of [294]‘s sisters - it seemed either [243] or [635]. She said something to me, but I can’t remember what it was.” (A) In this we find these experiences of the entity in the body-conscious mind and in the mental forces seeking the interpretation of conditions which exist regarding Dr. [5618] and Mr. [195] respecting their associations and relations to the work. As is seen in vision, apparently Dr. [5618] is calmly allowing self to drift away from that which should bring the greater experience in the life, and may only be saved to the help of others through the assistance of [195]‘s relations with same. Hence he should be called to insist that Dr. [5618] occupy the place as necessary for the better development of conditions.

The ensuing visiting of others indicates that same consternation that is caused in the minds of all seen or concerned regarding the various experiences through which the entity itself passes in its relation to the work - yet, as is seen in the end, and scarcely remembered only in part as to the words that were given through trials, troubles, tribulation, one arrives at the best things in life, and trials are forgotten.

Applying same, then, in the way as has been given, see? being then as in the position to bring about those correlations between the two. Do that.

As regarding those associations which bring the trouble of the consternation to the entity at times, apply self in the way knowing that the outcome will be in that way as has been given. Ready for questions.

4. (Q) How should the body go about to bring this about - what should she do? (A) In the relations as are seen between the two, the entity acts in the furnishing of information to each and every individual as concerned. There is seen that at the present time there are some conditions in which Dr. [5618] is not entirely satisfied with the existent conditions, through some unknown reason to the entity, see? Then acquaint Mr. [195] with those conditions and insist, as Mr. [195] is so interested in the soon establishing of this, that [195] write, communicate, see, talk, with [5618] regarding taking it up, see?

5. We are through.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 11/30/26 Mr. [195] wrote: “Was interested in the dream interpretation which Miss [288] so kindly sent me, and I think that when the time comes we can iron out any trouble with Dr. [5618] - that is, when the time comes for the functioning of the institution, we can get Dr. [5618] to start in with us as anticipated. There will be, as always in such cases, many petty differences, many ideas of individuals to be arighted, but a few calm minds can come forward and do the work. It is always good to have a few tempestuous minds in an organization to stir it up so that it will not stagnate.”

R2. 1/1/27 EC wrote Dr. [5618]: “[195] is just as enthusiastic as ever. He is ready to help furnish the capital necessary to open the institution, if set on proper lines - a big provisor, and one where it is, and will be, necessary to have the individual [yourself] who can bring the proper relations between all individuals associated or interested in the furtherance of the institution.”
