Protestant, Theosophist) This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 322 Grafton Avenue, Dayton, Ohio, this 15th day of May, 1925, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. [470], via wife, Mrs. [1100].

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

Born August 6, 1889, [3:58 A. M., as per - see 470-22, Par. 32-A], Joliet, Ill. Time of Reading 11:10 A. M. Dayton Savings Time. …, Alabama.

1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the Universe, and the Universal Forces, giving the conditions that are as personalities, latent and exhibited, in the present life. Also the former appearances in the earth’s plane, giving time, place, and the name, and that in that life which built or retarded the development for the entity, giving the abilities of the present entity and to that which it may attain, and how.

2. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, and those relations with the Universe and the Universal Forces, as are latent and exhibited in the personality and individuality of the entity in the present earth plane.

3. In the entering we find the entity comes or takes its place from that of Mercury, Vulcan and Jupiter, with those relations in Leo that have to do with the personalities as exhibited, with adverse influences in Venus, with Saturn.

4. Then, we have these personalities and individualities as are exhibited in the present earth plane:

5. One that may be relied upon in any circumstance or condition. One whose word of promise is more than a written promise. One who accepts conditions as they exist, yet having little patience with any condition partaking of an untruth, yet one reasoning such from their individual viewpoint, or from their individual experience.

6. One who finds delight in giving pleasure to others, yet not desiring to make a show or to sound a trumpet while so doing. One who gives then much of self in every way, showing self friendly to those that are friendless, and giving many conditions for improvement of anything pertaining to the social side of labor conditions.

7. One whose abilities lie especially in that contriving conveniences for the laboring man. One who would do well to carry out the ideas as have been and are latent, yet exhibited within the mental abilities of the individual, to apply those of electrical forces in a different manner to that as has been applied. This would bring much pleasure in producing same to self and would bring many monies and assistance to others, were this contrivance carried to the completion as the entity often desires to do, yet feels incapable of doing so self. Would the individual but apply self, that necessary for its completion and for the necessary conditions to make some a success would come to the individual.

8. Again we find the appearances in the earth plane have much to do with the individuality as is shown in the present plane.

9. Then, in the one before this we find in that of Sofrie Dunhill, in Cork in Ireland, in this during the day 1529. The entity then gave much to the peoples of that place in objects of the manner in which the liberties of the people depended. These may be found as matters of record.

10. In the one before this we find in the days of the Trojan, and the forces of that country in Greece. The entity then in that of Cajhalon, was the builder and the actual worker on the Horse led or pushed into the surrounding foe, that the city might be captured. The entity then of beautiful figure and stature, and held as one of noble descent and of special gifts from the gods. The entity losing its life, however, at that period, in the siege as was made following this burning. In the death, or birth at that time (for they are one and the same), the entity found the development for self.

11. In the one before this we find in the Egyptian forces, when the second rule of the country, and the entity then the armor-bearer to the King of that land, acting then in the capacity of the defender of that ruler. [See 341-9, Par. 14-A giving further details.] In that development the entity gained much, by keeping his own mouth shut and listening to others. In the present personality we find this exhibited in the entity’s abilities to be a good listener.

12. In the one before this we find in the days of the peoples coming from the waters in the submerged areas of the Southern portion as is now of Peru, when the earth was divided, and the people began to inhabit the earth again. One entity among those who succeeded in gaining the higher grounds, and then in the name of (which was changed afterwards) Omrui, and changed to Mosases, for the entity became the ruler and the guide, or the patriarch of that age and gave much assistance to the few as was gathered about the entity. Only failing in taking unto self too many of the opposite sex of in the land, bringing then the enmity of many of the peoples in the later days. In the present we find this urge to keep and steer clear of intrigues of such natures that brings the difficulties in such relations, yet these conditions ever presenting themselves to the entity. One condition to combat.

13. Then, as to the abilities in the present sphere, well that the entity give self’s application to those desires to prepare and build these conditions pertaining to metal and the electrical forces that will change the application of same in the direct and alternating forces in units of electrical units. These may be built, and the entity would succeed in giving much to the peoples.

14. We are through for the present.

R3. 8/6/28 Wife wrote that they were sending $50 to the Cayce Hospital Fund, saying:

“In Mr. [470]‘s Life Reading you said he had latent within himself the means of giving or rather applying electricity in a way that hasn’t been done before. Now he wants to know if you could take a reading to find out just what he will have to do, in the line of study, meditation, etc., to develop this in himself. Please let us know if it is possible to take a reading of this sort, and if it is, go ahead and take it, at your earliest convenience.”

R5. 11/13/33 After seeing EC in N.Y.: “In a Life Reading you gave me in May 1925 it was given that it was latent within me to apply those of the electrical forces in a different manner to that as has been applied. Since then I have thought about this many times and it seems to me electricity and its application does not seem to fit me, but as stated in the reading this is latent within me and evidently I am not living and doing the way I should in order to bring this out. Therefore, if it is possible for me to bring this out in this life so that others may be benefited it is my desire that you take another reading and answer the questions which I propose…”
