Rosicrucian, Protestant Background) This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 15th day of March, 1935, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [620], Active Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 3:30 to 3:45 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Fla. (Body and enquiring mind; mental and spiritual)

1. EC: We will answer the questions as may be asked regarding same.

2. Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [620]. And the information that has been given respecting the physical, the mental and the spiritual attitudes of the body, and the manner in which the body should apply itself, HAS been outlined for same. The entity should make PRACTICAL application of such; the spirit of truth or constructive forces in the experience. For these are the fruits of the spirit: Patience, persistence, brotherly love, hope, faith, charity - these are the fruits of the spirit. Do as ye would be done by. As ye would have others do to you, do ye even so to them. Prefer others rather than thyself. If there is questioning in thine self as to who is in error, give the other the benefit of any doubt. Be thou served upon as thou served others, rather than being served by others.

3. Ready for questions.

4. (Q) Does the life work planned with Jimmie seem to indicate harmony and success to all concerned? (A) So far as it is in harmony with the fruits of the spirit, yes.

5. (Q) What is the best time of day or night for me to receive help from the silence? (A) Between two and three o’clock of morning is the BEST time. But whenever the body will lay aside its consciousness of material desire, and meditate upon the spiritual influences that may move upon self, better and greater will be the inflow of health, strength, resistance and constructive forces within self.

6. (Q) What is the affirmation I should use? (A) None better than this:

I AM THINE, O LORD! IN THEE DO I PUT MY TRUST. OPEN THOU MY UNDERSTANDING THAT I MAY RECEIVE, CONSCIOUSLY, THAT THOU WOULD HAVE ME DO FROM DAY TO DAY. LET ME BE A CHANNEL OF BLESSING TO SOMEONE EACH DAY. LET ME BE AND SO LIVE THAT I MAY CONSTRAIN OTHERS TO GLORIFY THEE.

7. (Q) What is meant by the experiences I have had concerning Steve Rynksel? [He was born 1/18/1891 in Szafkoty, Lithuania.] (A) These may be better interpreted by self entering into the silence and answering from those experiences that will be had by this entering in. First, as is indicated in the affirmations and the lessons of that in Meditation, ask self consciously and get the answer Yes or No. Ask in such a manner as Is it this, Is it that? Then enter into the silence with the inner self and get the answer; ask in such a manner that the spirit of self, of self’s development, answers Yes or No.

8. (Q) Did I know him in the past? (A) Such questions can best be found within self. These might be given from here, but ye are seeking for thine own interpretation and thine own understanding. And this is the better manner, the better way for thine OWN deeper understanding.

9. (Q) Who are Mr. Reese and Dr. Geezy (incorrect spelling) who seem strangely connected in some manner, with either myself or Mr. Rynksel? (A) These again can best be found; for ye are stepping upon dangerous grounds! Ye best interpret thine own understanding, through entering in of thine own self. Do not become embroiled with outside influence, for thy God, thy Savior, has promised to meet thee within thine own self, in the temple of thine own self. And thy body, thy mind, is THY temple of thy living God. KEEP it holy; for it is but a reasonable service.

10. (Q) Have I ever known either of my three children - (A) (Interrupting) In all of these in the various experiences that thou hast had.

11. (Q) Who is Lois? (A) We have no Lois.

12. (Q) What associations have [301] and I had in the past? (A) In the Egyptian were these the closest, but seek these out.

13. (Q) Would it prove the profitable thing for me to make further arrangements as to sight-seeing tours? If so, how can I make the desired contacts? (A) Very good. We would make these through the regular channels of those that have had, do make for the arrangements in the various groups that visit in the various centers, either from the hotels or from the regular organizations that have had and do have such interests in the vicinity and surroundings of the immediate territory.

14. (Q) Would […] [husband] interfere too much with my development if I should return to Birmingham, or has he made - (A) (Interrupting) The return should not be made yet.

15. (Q) Any further advice that would be helpful to me at this time? (A) Study in thyself to show thyself approved unto thine own conscious concept of the Creative Forces manifesting in the earth.

16. We are through for the present.

R1. 3/24/35 Letter to EC from Mrs. [620]:

Dear. Mr. Cayce:

I truly appreciate the Readings for both [714] and myself - they have already proved to be very helpful, and I will state here that many things have been “coming thru” for me and I pray that I shall be worthy of such wonderful manifestations, and so much of it has been given thru your help and guidance and I am very grateful to you for the help, and ask that His Divine Power forever be sustained thru you for the great helpfulness of humanity. I am learning more and more each day the great joy that comes thru service to others.

I want to thank you for the great help you have given us and trust that I shall be able to know you personally some day, until then you have my best wishes and prayers for health and Divine Guidance that is ever present and that you may have the help and Love of others to work together in a great and noble cause.

Sincerely, [620]
