-
EC: Some good information here!
-
GC: May we have it at this time?
-
EC: The concept of personality of disincarnate entities or souls is so easily misunderstood.
-
We would present through this channel a concept that we see would become most helpful.
-
Then, seek ye this as oft as possible, until there has been from these sources a presentation of that we find would be helpful at this time.
-
When any great movement is begun, whether it be political, economic, social or religious, it gains adherents to a line of thought presented by an individual.
-
Now, let’s not lose this idea (individuality and personality)!
-
In the finite world, or your earth’s sphere only, personality is comprehensible oft to the masses, or to the populace, or vox pop [vox populi].
-
In the gaining of adherents the unseen influence gains momentum; entities passing from the conscious to the unseen - or to the borderland - that are adherents to a line of thought - add to the momentum of that thought. Oft, as we find, when some great movement loses its leader, apparently some portion of that movement, or the whole general thought of that individual, loses prestige.
-
So we begin to see how that the thought, or mental movement that produces thought in the minds of souls in the earth, may be influenced by that movement outside of self!
-
As an illustration:
-
There is felt (and it is gaining in its expression until many have gone off at tangents) that there is to be, and is imminent a change in the whole world as to religious thought; a new ideal, a new purpose, a renewing of the spirit within.
-
Seek further.
-
We are through for the present.
[10/9/33 GD’s note: The above was given in a very clear and distinct, apparently English, voice; not Edgar Cayce’s usual speaking voice during a reading. It sounded like Edgar Cayce, but more as if he were acting the part of an Englishman - trying to repeat the tone of voice and comments of an Englishman standing by; not at all as if the Englishman had taken over.]
