This psychic reading given [volunteered without suggestion being given to obtain it] by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 6th day of May, 1929, following 195-61 reading.

[Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. Linden Shroyer and Mr. L. B. Cayce.]

Time of Reading 11:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Va.

1. GC: (After part of suggestion was given for waking EC)

2. EC: Here, Sister - before you change this, let me give you a little piece of advice concerning what you are working with. As there are many questions often asked you, and as you often feel others are not as considerate of the position you occupy with the Forces as are manifested through Cayce, these are the things that will possibly aid you in understanding just what takes place, and as to how you - personally - may assist or may aid the individual seeking to know that as may be helpful, beneficial to themselves or their loved ones, or where others seek to gain for themselves that same experience of the position you, yourself, now occupy in obtaining for others or for self such information.

3. This is the condition that is ever present when such information is obtained:

4. When the consciousness is laid aside, there is that which takes place much in the same manner as the spring to an automatic curtain roller. This, then, is able to be pulled down or raised up with the release of the spring. SOME call this going into the unknown. SOME call this spiritual, or spirit, communication. Some call it the ability to gain the force of the activities of the fourth dimension - which is NEARER correct than any explanation that may be given. For it is the plane that is of the inter-between, or that of the borderland - which all individuals occupy through that period of gaining consciousness of that sphere they themselves occupy, until such a period or such a time that there is that joining together of such forces as may again bring that individual entity into the realm of physical experience or being.

5. Now each individual seeks experiences, see? Each individual must experience conditions to become aware of that being present or existent in their OWN experience, or that becomes a portion of the whole of that entity.

6. Then, know, whenever there is the wholehearted desire of all seeking such, there may be the perfect action of the roller or spring, or there may be the perfect application of the information that may be gained.

7. But Sister, know this - whenever you, yourself, are in the position of the questionnaire, or the one seeking to gain for another such information, call ME - I will answer. This is Gay. [See 538-28, Par. R1.] We are through.
