GC: You will give the relations of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces; giving the conditions which are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth plane, giving time, place and the name, and that in each life which built or retarded the development for the entity; giving the abilities of the present entity, that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
-
EC: ( - ” - ‘36 - the student - ‘20 - yes.”)
-
Yes, we have had the records here of this entity before.
-
As indicated little of the astrological and much of the spiritual should be the application of the entity in its search for those opportunities to be of greater help, or a contributing factor to the activities in the material plane.
-
Seek first within SELF. For thy body is indeed the temple of the living God. Treat it as such. Keep it clean. Keep it bright. It doesn’t need to be a drab, ugly place. For He is the keeper, if ye allow Him to enter oft with thee.
-
Then, in the search for the activities in the earth at this particular period, emulate the patten that has been given. For He is the way and the truth and the light, and they that climb up some other way are thieves and robbers of their own selves, and they alone will eventually suffer for such.
-
For, the free will of each soul is to use that obtained in knowledge and in understanding. Thus it ever behooves each one to seek, and ye may find. But without the seeking, what may others have to offer?
-
Of thyself ye can do nothing. In Him ye may accomplish all.
-
Then set thine own house in order. Be the channel of blessing to someone each day. And thus ye may come to know a new light that shines out from all light.
-
For as he gave, “Let there be light.” This ability, this light, came into being of His will, and thy will in the earth. Thus through that light is there the declaration. By Him were all things made that were made. Without Him was not anything made that was made. Yet He, the way, entered in and became subject to the physical laws, and with the ability to use the whole law. Where there had been the use or abuse of privilege, this He Himself paid - in a body, as in a body it was dissipated.
-
Do thou likewise. Meet those contingencies of the day in Him.
-
We are through with this reading.

R1. 9/19/44 [3213]‘s ltr. to Miss Wirsing:
Miss Mary Wirsing Association For Research and Enlightenment Virginia Beach, Virginia
September 19, 1944
Dear Miss Wirsing:
Thank you for the invitation to renew the membership in your organization. I regret to say that I cannot accept this offer due to the following reasons:
A Mental and Spiritual Reading was made and the result was poor but I had hopes of improvement. A Life Reading followed and this was even more diappointing. I consider both to be vague and altogether too general. It could have applied to anyone. Therefore, no application was made for a Physical Reading.
For many years I have been and still am a deep student of esoteric philosophy and can appreciate the great strain placed upon Mr. Cayce in doing this work. During these trying times there is a great need for the spiritual aims of Mr. Cayce and I would not wish to be critical, however, in my case it was not successful.
Please accept my sincere wishes for the success of Mr. Cayce and the organization.
Faithfully yours, [3213]
