Protestant) This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 5th day of October, 1940, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [319], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.
[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; GLadys Davis, Steno.]
Time of Reading 10:45 to 10:55 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Ala.
-
GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [319], at the state Department of Education, Ala., who seeks information, advice and guidance as to her relationships with her sister, Mrs. [410], …, Ala. You will advise her as to her attitude, activity, and necessary procedure in order to help her sister. You will answer the questions that may be asked:
-
EC: Yes, we have the enquiring mind, [319].
-
Now as we find, respecting the associations and relations with the sister, [410]:
-
The body mentally, at least in a manner, comprehends those disturbing conditions in the mental forces of the sister. While these may become trying, they ARE problems to be met.
-
And if conditions become such as to make it mentally unbearable, then change; yet there is needed the companionship, the advice and counsel in a SPIRITUAL way and manner.
-
Then, as we find, in the light of all the principles that are set by the ideal “Do as ye would be done by.” This should be the attitude. While it may appear to be a hardship, if it is considered from the spiritual angle a great deal may be accomplished.
-
Pray a great deal over the situation; and do not become sorry for self. Do not condemn anyone.
-
We would not advise a change in the present. If it becomes unbearable, this must be the choice of self.
-
Ready for questions.
-
(Q) Is her condition serious? (A) If those suggestions are carried out as we have indicated, this must eventually pass.
As has been indicated, it is a period of mental disturbance as well as physical, and needs that care as has been outlined.
-
(Q) How should I act when she is in one of her tantrums? (A) As indicated, how would you desire she act toward you if the conditions were reversed?
-
(Q) What specifically can I do to help her? (A) As just indicated, reason with her; not in an argumentive manner. Do not find fault. Do not condemn. And do not feel sorry for self!
-
We are through for the present.
