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

Born August 21, 1912, in Little Rock, Arkansas. Time of Reading Set bet. 3:30 to 4:30 P. M. Eastern War Time. …, N.Y.

1. 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:

2. EC: Yes - a very unusual entity, with very unusual abilities. Yet these abilities may become the real stumblingblock for the entity.

3. Here we may find a great disagreement with what may be given the entity, but this is given with the desire and hope that this information may be applied so as to become a helpful experience for the entity; else tragedy may be a part of this entity’s experience.

4. This is an entity, as we will find, who has little use for man or woman that hasn’t a very brilliant mind.

5. Things pertaining to scientific problems of every nature are of particular interest to the entity.

6. We find that the entity should find its spiritual ideal - and not in the mysteries of the East. Not that these haven’t their place in the experiences of individuals, but the abilities of this entity in the earthly sojourns have been such that unless there is the whole Creative Force taken into consideration and the entity becoming one with spiritual imports, it may use the powers and forces within to its own undoing.

7. For the entity takes most every experience by intuition. Easily may the entity, by entering deep meditation raise the kundaline kundalini] forces in body to the third eye as to become a seeress; so that it may see the future and the past. But the law of such is that, unless these are used for constructive and never for selfish motives or purposes, they will bring more harm than good.

8. For there is the expression of creative energies that must be a part of the experience. Don’t let the experiences of many turn thee aside, where and when it becomes necessary to raise such; and you will not be able to unless you live that you ask of and seek in others. Let that ye seek be that the law of the Lord God, which is manifested in the Christ, may be manifested through thee.

9. If the body will do just that, it may become a credit to its own environ and all of those who have the pleasure and privilege of knowing the entity. Abusing it, ye will become a by-word, ye will become one not a credit to any.

10. What will this entity do with these abilities? The choice may only be in self.

11. Begin with the study of the Scripture as in Exodus 19:5, Deuteronomy 30, the whole of Romans, and John 14, 15, 16 and

12. Do that and come again - we would work with thee.

13. We are through for the present. [Note: In most cases when EC reached the end of a reading he would say: “Ready for questions.” In this case, however, he did not do so.]

17. Make these not only as things ye know but as things ye apply in principle and practice.

B1. 7/27/43 [5028]‘s letter: ”…Since reading THERE IS A RIVER I have been most eager to have a reading for myself, two of them as a matter of fact. One of them a Life Reading…

“I suppose I should add that this is not an emergency case, as I believe my ailment is not a grave one. What is your fee for a reading? I am particularly interested in the summary of the readings taken on philosophical and metaphysical subjects - the one at the end of the book THERE IS A RIVER]. Is it possible to secure more detailed information about those readings? I trust I shall hear from you soon. I shall be glad to comply as far as possible with any special conditions you may request…”

B2. 7/28/43 [5028]‘s letter: ”…In THERE IS A RIVER there is mention of Association for Research and Enlightenment and of papers published by the Association. Is that organization still existent, and if so, what are the requirements for membership? Is it still possible to get papers published in previous years? At the present time I am particularly interested in those on reincarnation, though any information given by the readings would be of interest to me…”

B3. 8/6/43 [5028]‘s letter: ”…I enclose an application for membership… Does the Association have booklets on prayer and on reincarnation, and if so, am I entitled to them? I hope to hear from you soon regarding this and the date set for the first of the readings…”

B4. 9/20/43 [5028]‘s letter: ”…In reply to yours of August 10, I should like to have a Life reading first, and next, the Physical reading. According to your letter, the first or Life reading will take place April 13, 3:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon. I will keep that time open for rest and meditation. I shall look forward to receiving the monthly paper in the meantime…”

B5. 9/27/43 EC’s letter to Mrs. [5028]: ”…Yes, we have reserved the afternoon of April 13, 1944, 3:30 to 4:30 EWT for your Life Reading. You possibly will want to submit some questions. Just before that time you can send them to us so we will have them. Do you wish to make the appointment for a Physical reading now? We are making appointments for next September, and are getting farther and farther ahead and our letters are on the increase rather than the decrease.

“The September Bulletin was just mailed out. Hope yours was included. If not, let us know.

“Thanking you, and hoping to be the means of a service…”
