TEXT
1.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; the ENTITY we have had
before.
3. Now, as we find, there are very definite conditions that
disturb the better physical functioning of the body. And these, as we
find, have to do with accumulations that have occurred in the body
through an unbalancing of the elements that are necessary for the
reaction of the organs as related to the activity of the secretions
necessary for activities in the system.
4. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this
body, [813], we are speaking of:
5. First, in the BLOOD SUPPLY we find indicated in its activity,
and in the manner in which there are the disturbances in the reflexes
of the vital centers of the body, a very great disturbance in the
metabolism - or those elements that are necessary to keep the various
portions or factors in the circulation in an even balance. Or, as we
find, there is a lack of the necessary forces for keeping a full flow
of the normal corpuscle activity, owing to the lack of the elements in
the body - and the blood supply - for the balance between the iodine
and potash. Or there is an excess of potash in the system.
6. Hence we find these disturbances making for a weakness to the
whole body; a feeling at times of the pulsation in wrist, in the
armpit, in the elbow, under the knees, in the extremities where the
superficial circulation is most active with the capillary and emunctory
centers (or those that come closer to the surface). At times there is
the feeling of tired, lagging; tendency for the feeling not exactly of
being sleepy but indolent, or the lack of the vital necessary
influences to make for what would be termed the "pep" or the reaction
necessary to create even the coordination between mental and physical
desires for expression.
7. In the NERVE FORCES of the body, we find that their nerve
ENDS are rather lax; that is, the ends of the sympathetics and the
coordinating centers in the cerebrospinal system with the reflexes to
the vegetative or sympathetic system. Thus at times there is caused a
heaviness across the lower portion of the cerebrospinal system, or at
the 4th lumbar area. Again there is felt between the shoulder blades,
or at the 1st and 2nd dorsal, a heaviness; a fullness at times, as if
something might be CREEPING - as it were - just under the skin. Dull
headaches and languid activity. There is also an incoordination in the
digestion, from this same form of nervous reaction.
8. As to the functioning of the ORGANS themselves, we find:
9. Brain forces, as we have indicated, are very good.
10. The organs of the sensory system make for reactions that are
in keeping with the general reflexes from the disturbances through the
circulation, in the reactions of the muscular forces. The activities of
the sensory system are dulled. At times the vision appears to be
blurry; at others there is the appearance of conditions that centralize
themselves and do not appear to be as in the first glimpse of same. The
same reaction is in the sound, the hearing, or the auditory forces;
that is, the BALANCE between same. All of these effects come in the
present, as we have indicated, from a poor coordination in the
circulation and distribution of nerve forces by or through the lack of
elements in the system to create a balance for the body.
11. As to the lungs and the heart's activity: A fullness is felt
at times in the lungs themselves. At others, while the heart does not
hurt, there is the feeling or the consciousness of the heart's presence
and of its activity, and of the conditions under which it is laboring
at times.
12. In the digestive system the disturbances are more from the
nerve reactions sympathetically; as they are throughout the rest of the
system.
13. Throat, bronchi and larynx: Here we find an indication of how
the effect of this unbalancing has made and is making for a segregation
within itself; that is, engorgements about the INTERNAL activity of the
thyroid itself. The lack of the expression of this in its proper
balance has been the lack of the proper amount of iodine for the
system.
14. Hence we find in the present, in making applications that
will enable the body to meet these conditions (provided these are
carried in proper proportions, with the proper precautions and
conditions considered), these should be able to be disseminated without
operative forces.
15. However, if there is the continuance of this fullness in the
throat, this dullness throughout the system, this heaviness and those
activities in the circulatory forces not altered or changed (even with
these applications which we will suggest), then it would become
necessary for operative measures.
16. But begin first with this method for the absorbing and
eliminating of the condition:
17. Begin with taking internally the Atomidine; one minim in half
a glass of water twice each day (before the morning meal and before
retiring at night). Each day increase the amount one minim, until ten
minims are being taken twice a day.
18. Then leave off for three days. Then begin with the one minim
again, gradually increasing until ten minims are being taken again
twice each day - each dose in half a glass of water.
19. After the first full round of the Atomidine, and during the
three day rest period from same, use each day for the three days the
hand Violet Ray. Use the throat applicator that will apply directly to
the activities of the glands about the throat, around the neck and down
to the upper portion of the breastbone; or following what is ordinarily
termed the collarbone around same, see? This would be used for five
minutes just before retiring, only on the three days during the rest
period from the Atomidine.
20. We would also at the end of the second rest period from
taking the Atomidine (that is, after the second three day period of
using the Violet Ray as indicated), we would begin with the deep
manipulations; not chiropractically, but osteopathically given, to make
drainages through the cervical and upper dorsal for the general system.
In other words, the stimulations to the centers especially in the
brachial area and the upper cervicals, or from the 4th and 5th on to
the 1st cervical, are not so much for general relaxation as for general
elimination; that is, for stimulating the drainages from the system.
21. Then it becomes necessary that the eliminations through the
alimentary canal be increased, either through the activities of the
body through the exercises it takes or through the deeper manipulation
or stimulations for same.
22. In the latter portion of the manipulations, coordinate the
lumbar area WITH the dorsal and cervical areas also.
23. These osteopathic adjustments and treatments would be taken
for two week periods at a time, three times each week. Rest a week in
between, and then take them again for two more weeks, see?
24. And by the time such a period has elapsed, we should find the
body not only feeling better, but there should be the disappearance of
this disturbance - and the whole system adjusted then to near normalcy.
25. When the manipulations or the osteopathic treatments are
begun, then leave off the Violet Ray treatments (though these are
necessary in the middle portion of the first two Atomidine rounds, as
indicated). But keep up the Atomidine, in the manner indicated,
throughout the period of the osteopathic treatments; just eliminating
the Violet Ray treatments after the first two three-day rest periods,
you see.
26. Ready for questions.
(Q) Exactly what foods should I eat (or in other words, what
foods does my particular system require)?
27. (A) Those that have iron, iodine, silicon, and the like.
Leave off, then, those foods carrying too great a quantity of starch or
sweets. This will tend to make the body reduce, to be sure, in its
weight somewhat, but this will be much better - as we find - for the
whole system.
(Q) Is the yoga practice of Kriya causing any ill effects?
28. (A) As indicated, this is very well to continue with these
treatments; for these exercises have a stimulating effect. However, DO
NOT use these during the period the Violet Ray is used, for that week!
During the rest of the time it will be well for these to be carried
with the other applications in toto.
We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND
1.
2. 2/05/35 She obtained a Life reading, 813-1.
9/23/35 [813]'s letter: "I have a thyroid goitre that may be
growing inwardly. It is not noticeable to the casual observer, but I
have had this growth for at least twenty-five years. Then the gland on
the right side of my neck gives indication of something seriously wrong
there...
"My physical difficulty at present is that the least effort
exhausts me and I can only do the most necessary things. I want to rest
all the time. Even the thought of effort tires me! I can't study either
and concentration quickly exhausts me. It seems to be a nervous
exhaustion and it is quite terrible.
[Questions submitted]: "1. What is causing this physical and
mental exhaustion, the lack of energy? 2. If the thyroid condition is
responsible, is there any alternative from an operation? 3. Exactly
what foods should I eat? (Or in other words, what foods does my
particular system require?) 4. If the yoga practice of Kriya
(pronounced creeya) causing any ill effects? May I continue the
exercise or should I stop it for awhile?
"This yoga exercise has been called 'the most wonderful thing
in the world' as it increases evolution. It is given by a Master to a
student only from 'mouth to ear' as the Hindus say, when the student is
ready for it. I want to continue the practice twice each day if I can
without injury to my health as it is so important. A current of energy
is drawn through the chakras or centers of the spine, from the base of
the spine to the medulla.
"Thank you very much for anything you may do in my behalf. I
shall await your diagnosis with much interest as this disability
completely baffles me. I have been ill nearly all summer. Of course,
the heat of Washington had something to do with it..."
REPORTS
1.
10/07/35 [813]'s letter to EC:
"...The diagnosis of my disability is all that I could hope
for, and I am especially pleased with the prescription. Needless to
say, I shall follow directions faithfully, and I will report to you
relative to the results obtained from the medicine, Violet Ray and
osteopathic treatments.
2. "As I expect to return to Washington within a week or ten
days, I shall not begin the osteopathic treatments until I arrive
there. Will you kindly ask Miss Davis to send me the name of an
osteopath or two in Washington who is familiar with your work, or who
has cooperated on other cases? I should prefer to receive treatment
from an osteopath who understands. Ask her if she will direct the
letter to me here at ..."
3. 10/09/35 She requested Physical Reading for her brother, Mr.
[1047].
4. 2/06/36 [813]'s letter: "...Dr. Lulu Irene Waters of
Washington, the D.O. who has done such satisfactory work for several
members of the A.R.E., is much interested in your work and desires to
become a member..."
5/26/36 [813]'s letter to EC:
"...I hope the members of the Association have fully
reimbursed you for the indebtedness incurred in Detroit. I was
concerned when I learned of your difficulties there, but I am convinced
that out of that trouble, some blessing will come. Ultimately, all that
happens is for the best. It is His will that is working through us.
"I am reminded of the experience of that great saint, Swami
Yogananda when he was in Miami nearly ten years ago. As everyone knows,
the mental vibrations pervading in Florida are pretty gross. Greed and
the pursuit of pleasure take first rank in the hearts of the majority
of the population.
"The Swami gave a series of lectures and lessons in Miami to
a crowded house each night. He was about to begin his advanced lesson
series when the husband of one of his students started trouble with a
vengeance. He went to police headquarters and accused the Swami of
really terrible things. (This man was afterward convicted of murder!)
Through his machinations and activities he started a riot and a mob
stormed the auditorium where the lectures were being held. Yogananda
was compelled to remain in seclusion for a while and then he quietly
left the state without completing his course of lessons. The mayor and
the police knew that he was innocent of any wrong doing, but they
thought it was best not to incite the mob by trying to continue the
lectures. "To add to the Swami's troubles, Hearst took this occasion to
start persecuting him in the Hearst newspapers. His editorial writer,
Arthur Brisbane, rather outdid himself. His articles were venomous.
That there was not truth in them didn't matter to Brisbane or Hearst.
They carried the persecution to the headquarters of the Swami's
organization in Los Angeles. Newspaper men invaded the building and
made themselves obnoxious in many ways. Day after day, scurrilous
articles appeared in the Los Angeles newspapers owned by Hearst. It was
a most trying time for the students as well as the Swami.
"I know you must have thought me dilatory not to have
reported the result of the treatments prescribed in the Physical
reading you gave me last fall, but I had a reason for not writing to
you sooner about the matter. Here it is.
"As soon as I returned to Washington in late October, I began
the treatments and followed instructions to the letter, very carefully.
At that time I was feeling quite ill and weak, I could hardly get about
and the least exertion laid me low.
"Every time I went to the osteopath's office for a treatment,
she would tell me of some additional ailments, such as high blood
pressure, iron deficiency, etc. This didn't make me feel any better!
"Toward the last of November, when the treatment prescribed
was nearly completed, she told me I ought to get close to the earth and
that I needed lots of sunshine. As I had to walk on sidewalks, the
little walking I did, and as I was bundled in winter clothes which
prevented the pale fall sun from being of much benefit, I didn't know
how I could follow her advice. I decided to go to Florida for the month
of December and get some sun baths on the beach. I thought this would
supplement the treatments and should give me a kind of boost, as the
youngsters say.
"I went to Florida, took the remaining treatments from a West
Palm Beach osteopath, and had been in the water once or twice when
calamity overtook me. I had been in Florida about ten days or less when
I awakened one morning to find myself very ill with influenza. This
particular attack left me so weak for a while that I could hardly talk.
I was flat in bed for nearly three weeks and I returned to Washington
on the third of January, as soon as I could travel.
"The treatments didn't seem to help me at all, so far as I
could determine. I took the entire bottle of Atomidine. When I went
back to work I was weak, wobbly, and somewhat discouraged, for a couple
of weeks, I dragged about, doing as little as possible. Then one day I
remembered that a sage had once said that the consciousness of
perfection is the basis of all cures. I began to think of the Infinite
Perfection and the effect was startling. Within a week I began to
recover my energy and felt a great deal better. From then on I have
improved steadily. I feel really fine now, but I am not cured by any
means. However, I have that peppy feeling I used to have and the old
'dullness' is gone.
"My Preceptor [Swami Yogananda ?] gave me an exercise to
follow that if used with will and determination would probably cure me.
However, I haven't practiced it as I should, only practicing once a day
when I should exercise three or four times. This regulates the energy
in the spine, and is used with the sacred word AUM. It is probably this
that has helped me so much. It may be that the treatments benefitted me
some, but that the effect didn't appear for a month or so after I
discontinued them.
"No promise was given to me in the reading that the treatment
WOULD help as the statement was made that: 'However, if there is the
continuance of this fullness in the throat, this dullness throughout
the system, this heaviness and those activities in the circulatory
forces not altered or changed, even with these applications which we
will suggest, then it would be necessary for operative measures.'
"But the reading also stated that 'By the time such a period
has elapsed we should find the body not only feeling better, but there
should be the disappearance of this disturbance...and the whole system
adjusted then to near normalcy.'
"This didn't happen. Also the reading said that: 'Hence we
find in the present, in making applications that will enable the body
to meet these conditions provided these are carried in proper
proportions, with the proper precautions and conditions considered,
these should be able to be disseminated without operative forces.'
"I didn't know what to do, whether I should take the same
treatments over again, whether I should ask for another reading to
determine the course to pursue, or what. I don't want to have an
operation if I can avoid it. There are many evil after effects which I
would escape if I could. So I waited awhile to see if I would improve
before I wrote you on the subject. I have tried to be as exact in the
description as I can.
"I think I will continue with the Aum chant in the spine for
a while and see what the result may be. After all, it is the Life
Energy that is the real source of healing; medicine is only an aid.
"The gland in the throat is still enlarged and the proper
adjustments have not been made in the bloodstream. But I feel really
good; much better than I have for quite a long time. [See report here
added to 813-1 Reports on Life Reading.]
5. "My everlasting gratitude for the readings you gave me. The
Physical reading gave me a clear understanding of what ails me. No
physician could have given me this knowledge. It may be that He is
giving me a lesson in Wisdom healing, and that I should turn more
within. Always there is a lesson in our adversities, I have found, and
I try to understand them. It seems to me now that if I can overcome my
disabilities through the power within, it may be of benefit to others.
So I shall try..."
6. 10/25/40 She requested emergency Physical Reading for
brother, Mr. [2387].
7. 2/10/43 She referred Miss [2898] for Physical Reading.
8. 7/27/43 See letter under 813-1 Reports indicating she is
enjoying physical exercise at home in the mountain air: "I feel 80%
better than I did last winter."
9. 6/47 Her friend, Miss [2898], told us that Miss [813] died in
1945, about six months after Mr. Cayce did.

TEXT OF READING 778-1 F 26 (Writer, Christian Background,
Student of Astrology & Eastern Lore) This Psychic Reading given by
Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va.,
this 11th day of June, 1927, in accordance with request made by self -
Miss [778].

R E A D I N G
Born August 16, 1900, 6:25 A.M. San Francisco, California. Time of
Reading 12:50 Noon - Eastern Standard Time. ..., New York.
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 of the entity, giving
the abilities of the present entity and that to which it may attain,
and how. You will answer the questions regarding same that I will ask
you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entity, and those relations with the Universal
Forces, as are latent and exhibited in the present appearance in the
earth's plane.
3. In entering the earth's plane, while we find the entity under those
influences from the astrological standpoint that are at an at variance
to many conditions shown in the experience in the present earth's
plane; yet we find from that as manifested, and as MAY be manifested
through the experience, some exceptional conditions and proofs of both
the astrological viewpoints as have been taken by peoples of many ages
and proofs positive of that which may be created by WILL'S force as
manifest through earth's plane and its influence in the experiences of
the entity throughout the eons, or throughout the cosmic influence.
4. In entering, then, we find the entity under the influence of
Neptune, Uranus, and Venus, with benevolent influences in Jupiter and
in Saturn. From these influences we may find there are those
exceptional abilities, those mysterious conditions, as surround the
elements of the individual appearance, even IN the present earth's
plane. Becoming, then, enigmatical to many, and oftentimes even to
self, in the study of those conditions through which the entity would
contemplate the building of self towards that of the advancement, or
that of the conditions wherein there may be accomplished that which is
set forward in the intent and purpose of the entity through its present
earth experience; for, as is seen, there is given to all that which is
gained or merited in its application of that in hand toward the
manifestation of the powers that give life, light, and the experience
of same in and through THIS material plane, or throughout those spheres
through which an entity may pass to develop to that oneness as
necessary to be One with that Creative Energy.
5. In the entering, we find in both Neptune and Uranus coming those
particular interests as may be found, not only in mystery and in occult
forces, but in that especial application of same. Especially in this
individual life there will be found much of those conditions that will
be out of the ordinary; for, as is seen under the Uranian forces, there
has - and is yet to come - especially in the latter portion of the
present year - those conditions that will bring exceptional
OPPORTUNITIES for expansion to this entity, especially from across
large bodies of water, and of the entity's VISIT to those old scenes -
as would be termed from present experience - of the endeavors as the
entity has had in this material plane; for many are the appearances -
much has been the development - much has been the retarding - and much
has been the advancing of the entity; for, as is given, these are as
the application of will, which is the developing factor in and through
the material plane.
6. In that of Jupiter and Venus there comes the long life, and the full
one - in that between the thirty-third and forty- third (33rd and 43rd)
year. Especially in this period comes the greater changes, the greater
eccentricity of change - more unusual than would be ordinary in an
individual life. [See 778-2, Par. 8-A, 9-A, on 1/5/35.]
7. As to that as manifest as personality in the present experience, we
find:
8. One of exceptional abilities; gifted in almost any line in which the
entity applies self to use for self or for others.
9. As to that of the weakness of the entity, this is along those lines
of the mis-understandings of others as respecting the entity's intent
and purpose, whether as toward friend or foe. [See 778-2, Par. 10-A,
11-A, on 1/5/35.]
10. The entity is one that easily makes friends and forgets friends.
11. One that easily acquires position, or one that may make self
amenable to whatever the circumstance or degree of change that may come
to the entity.
12. IN THE APPEARANCES:
13. In the one before this we find in that period when there were many
changes being made under that known as the rule of the destruction, or
bringing about revolution in France. The entity then among those who
were in and about the court, and of those who served in that of
assistant to the one acting as the queen in that period. Sedate, calm,
and ever giving much advice - GAINING through much of the experience in
that period; losing in the fear of expressing self. Then in the name
Lucia - and in the present we find these inner urges: The desire of the
entity to know the inner operations of those conditions that direct the
spirit force of each entity in high position. Not as pertains to
religious or to political, or to economic or to social, but that inner
desire to know what - WHAT - directs the forces of one in power or
position (In the thirty-fourth year the entity will learn much of how
this is applied in self and in others, for the entity will be among
those of royalty). [See 778-2, Par. 5-A, on 1/5/35.]
14. In the one before this we find in that period when there were
persecutions in the Roman rule, during the period of Nero's reign. The
entity then again in that position of one near to those in the
household of the king, and counselled often with those of wanton heart
and mind. Losing through the experience in the aggrandizement of
selfish motives, selfish purpose, and gaining plaudits of peoples. In
the urge as is seen from this experience in the present life (as was
passed then through Saturn's forces), that of the inner expression of
self as pertaining to the fear of what others will say; this being far
from that the entity wills to carry; hence we have a combativeness
within the entity as respecting these especial conditions.
15. In the one before this we find among the plains of that known as
the Indian country, and the entity then among those that were of the
cult of Uhlman (?), and the entity gave much to the peoples in that
period, only losing in the selfish aggrandizement of body. In this
period we find the entity in the name Iolia. There may much yet be
found in this land that is applicable in the periods of the present
day. This the land of that of the Himalayas Range. The entity, as the
priestess, gave much good to many of the peoples. Only in self did
there come the destroying or destructive forces. In the urge from this
experience, we find that desire for the mysteries of all religious
cults as were studied by the entity in that period, being then one that
may - even in the present experience - apply self in that way and
manner in which the correlation of those truths as may be gathered
together from the many various cults of the Eastern land - combined in
such a way and manner through the efforts of the entity - as to bring
much good to many peoples in the present earth's experience. Well that
these be applied in the present experience.
16. In the one before this we find in that Egyptian period when there
was the division (as would be termed in present day) of church and
state. The entity then among those who followed the priest in that
departure in exile, and ministering often to those who were with that
priest, and coming again into prominence through the service rendered
in that period. In the name Asiah, and the entity gained most through
this experience in the earth's plane, and this - combined with that
gained in the lessons in the one following - should be applied in the
study and in the manifestations of the work that may be attempted, or
accomplished by the entity, in the present experience; even as the
student, the writer, the teacher, the exponent of those truths as are
found in the applying of all religious forces as combined in unison to
make known the oneness of the purpose of the Creative Force to bring
about the whole Oneness of man's concept of this Creative Energy.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) How long will the entity be in this country?
(A) As to those appearances, it would be until October or November,
present year.
19. (Q) And then where is the body going?
(A) East.
20. (Q) Does that mean Europe or India?
(A) Europe and India.
21. (Q) Will the entity stay in India the rest of the life or come back
here?
(A) Apply that as has been given as respecting how the entity should
act as regarding these. The entity is of its own free will, as was
given. There are set lessons and truths as the entity may apply to
self, and its duty to self, to give knowledge, truth and understanding,
to others. Whether it takes far or near, apply self, would the entity
build that necessary for the full complete development of the entity in
this earth's experience.
22. (Q) How long will the entity continue in the present work?
(A) Until it chooses to change! As given, there are those forces being
set about wherein these changes may come - these definite conditions as
appear from those of forces from abroad and from near. Application of
self as respecting these is of self's will, and not of that as is read
in stars.
23. We are through for the present.

Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:20 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ga.
(Body and enquiring mind, now living in ..., Ga., and her Life Rdg.
given thru these sources on June 11, 1927. You will give a Check Life
Rdg. for her and answer the questions she has submitted, as I ask
them.)
1. EC: Yes. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) To be an exponent of Astrology, is this my proper Life work?
(A) This is indicated at least as being a part of the Life's work.
Writing on such subjects and aiding others in their spiritual and
mental development should be a portion of, or may be combined with this
as, a life's work.
3. (Q) I dislike immensely the commercializing of my astrological
knowledge; is there any way I could contact the proper parties and
funds so that I could give my whole time to research astrology?
(A) Only through the making of contacts where this might be used as a
feature, or from the radio, or some such means for the immediate
commercializing of the activity to supply - through such an association
- sufficient amount. This may be either with the manufactures of
perfumes or toilet articles - the making for the association towards
those tendencies in that direction; or it may be an association in such
ways and manners as to make for the ABILITIES of the body to carry on
in such research work.
4. (Q) Who is the best publishing firm to bring out my book on
"Astrological World Cycles and Ages"?
(A) This would be found to be better from some of the publishers in
England first, rather than America; though - as we find - it may be
carried through the American representative of the Henry Holt Company.
5. (Q) My original Life Rdg. stated that "in the 34th year... the
entity will be among those of royalty". I am now 34. What did this
statement about royalty mean?
(A) That there should be those associations by the traveling, or the
journeyings in the various associations, as to bring this about.
6. (Q) Should I attempt to interest wealthy people in founding an
Astrological Research Institute? If so, what people?
(A) As we find, this is not as yet the proper time when this interest
may be aroused sufficiently; but must be a component part of a unified
movement on such subjects - which should be BEGUN, and may be begun by
this body, and then made a part of the entity's life work in research.
7. (Q) Should I plan on a trip to India within the next few years?
(A) In the next three to four years this should become a part of the
whole activity, as indicated above that there is the time now for the
interesting of those who will make for a more unification of all the
questionable researches into the varied activities. This may be done,
or begun, through the manner that has been indicated.
8. (Q) My Life Rdg. stated that "between the 33rd and and 43rd
years...come the greater changes, the greater eccentricity of change,
more unusual than would be ordinary in an individual life".
(A) This hasn't been changed, as we find, and will come in the
developments and the activities of the entity in relationships to those
things that are being made a part of the association of the entity, as
yet.
9. (Q) Just what did this mean?
(A) Greater changes in all of the associations, all of the activities,
all of the EFFORTS, and those fields of activity in which the entity
would be engaged.
10. (Q) My Life Rdg. states "As to that of the weakness of the entity,
this is along those lines of the misunderstanding of others as
respecting the entity's intent and purpose, whether as toward friend or
foe." I do not understand this meaning.
(A) As indicated, whether in friendships, foes or acquaintances, there
has been and is that within the manner and mien of the entity which
tends to cause or to produce misunderstandings. ANALYZE self for a
second, with its associations whether in the purely material, the
research, the activities, the printer, the baker, the candlestick maker
or the meat man - and you'll see!
11. (Q) What is my worst fault? Am I too retiring and reclusive?
(A) This may not be said to be a fault. But the worse fault is that
just given.
12. (Q) Should I take up the study of music - piano - again in order to
help my daughter in her musical education?
(A) This would be very good.
13. (Q) Does any danger threaten me at any time in life from the man to
whom I was formerly engaged to be married?
(A) We do not find it so.
14. (Q) Is there any definite financial future for me in writing on
astrological and philosophic subjects?
(A) Dependent upon those activities in the directions as indicated, and
in the writings in relationships to those combinations that may come
from such an association. In broadcast, see?
15. We are through for the present.

Wonderful reading!
I think this reading By Dr. Cayce reflects Tara Mata deep genuine
interest in Astrology. I would have to guess at the time the reading
took place that Laurie Pratt was not living in the Ashram yet .
I would have to dig out the dates and timeline and see how they match
the big picture.
Thanks again,
Tom
am mainly interested in individuals who got Cayce readings and their
followups. I guess you could say I'm a karmic historian.
I did find this timeline which mentions her twice:
