. . . Judy [1472] who had been the first of women appointed as the head of the Essenes group who had the experience of having voices, as well as those which would be called in the present experiences communications with the influences which had been a part of man's experience from the beginning, such that the divine within man heard the experiences of those forces outside of man and communicated in voices, in dreams, in signs and symbols which had become a portion of the experience. 3175-3

The entity was acquainted then not only with the ministry of John but with the work of Judy [1472] and the activities of the Holy Mother, and the teachings of the Master. Hence we find a comprehension in the experience of the entity in the present of those activities where many varied forms of PROFESSED religious experiences are given. There the entity learned tolerance. Well to hold to that ye gained. The entity gained and lost during the experience, but he that hath gained somewhat even of tolerance - without losing hold on purpose and principle, and ideal - hath gained much. 1626-1, F 29 (Dancing Teacher), 6/29/38

(Q) Is my conviction that I have healing power through my hands justified by truth, or is my belief in it born of imagination? (A) No, - it is a part of the whole experience of self. (Q) How can this power of healing be increased, and best used in the service of humanity? (A) In recognizing, in idealizing its source - and not crystallizing it in self.… (Q) When, where and what was my association in other sojourns with the entity now known as [1472]? (A) This was an experience in which the entity looked toward that entity, Judy, as a teacher, a helper, an aid to the many, - as a worshipfulness or worshipful experience in the Palestine sojourn. In the present it may be used in a helpful experience if held rather in its particular ATMOSPHERIC reaction upon the mental and spiritual self. Let thyself know in what, in WHOM ye believe. Then pattern thy life after thy Ideal. Not demanding, but COMMANDING thyself by activity as well as precept. 1743-2, M 28 (Astrologer, Chiropractic Student), 11/11/38

Personal Memories of Edgar Cayce by Judy Chandler BULLETIN, November, 1947 The following article was written for and purchased by MIND DIGEST but did not appear before the discontinuance of its publication. Mrs. Chandler has been gracious enough to permit us to print it in the Bulletin. Those who knew Edgar Cayce as a friend were acquainted with the complexity of his personality - the simplicity, the humbleness, the sensitiveness, the imaginativeness. To many he brought the knowledge of a new, strange world, a rich experience through a new kind of perception. Julia Chandler, recognized by many friends of the Association as Judy, is widely known as a writer, lecturer and radio personality. For many years she was Regional Representative for the Association in the New York area and is now a member of our Board of Trustees. —Hugh Lynn Cayce

On a recent visit to Virginia Beach I wandered down to the little lake which nestles beside the house that was for so many years the home of Edgar Cayce. Seated there on the small pier from which he loved to fish, my mind was swiftly filled with vagrant memories of this man who found an even greater satisfaction in bringing men and women into the Christly nets woven by his peculiar gifts. As I looked across the quiet waters, thoughts of this great and gracious soul carried me back some fifteen years to the beginning of my interest in his work, and the close personal friendship which grew out of it. I am sure no human relationship ever had such a strange beginning, for it was rooted in two significant and far-reaching occurrences. The first concerned our first meeting. During one of his periodic visits to New York I had made an appointment for what he termed a "Life Reading". When I walked into the room the famous clairvoyant stared at me in complete silence. I might have thought him exceedingly rude had I not been arrested by the astonishment which was spread over his face. It turned his I eyes into two big question marks. "Something the matter with me?" I demanded, when my nerves began a protest against his curious, silent regard. ―Yes,‖ drawled the low voice of the distinguished Kentuckian, ―there IS something very Much the matter with you, - something I have never seen before in all my life." "Please tell me," I urged impatiently. "As you stand there I see a strong shaft of light flowing down from above you into your right side," he told me. "My aura", I at once concluded, knowing that the ability to see auras was one of Edgar Cayce's numerous gifts. "No", he corrected me promptly. "This is not what is ordinarily called the aura. I see that too. It surrounds your head like a sun-burst, - rays of gold interspersed with lovely shades of blue. The shaft of light at your side is something else, something quite different. It is a blue-white radiance. I think it indicates spiritual sustenance and power. Maybe your 'Life Reading' will explain it," he suggested hopefully as he stretched himself out on his couch for the work at hand. His wife, Gertrude Cayce, sat beside him.

was ready with pad and pencil to record every word he uttered during his selfimposed, hypnotic trance. In a few minutes it was evident that he was sound asleep, which was Mrs. Cayce's cue to submit the needed instructions to his Over-Self,—or Soul-Mind as the "readings" themselves frequently described his super-conscious state. After giving my name in the here and now; my place and date of birth, Mrs. Cayce said: "You will give the relation of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces; given the conditions which are as personalities, latent and exhibited, in the present life. You will also give the former appearances in the earth plane, giving time, place and the name, and that in each life which built or retarded the entity. You will give the abilities of the present entity and that to which she may attain, and how. You will answer the questions she has submitted as I ask them." That was a large order. But it was not too large for Edgar Cayce. Slowly he repeated my present name, the date and place of my birth, adding—after a slight pause—"Yes, we have the records here of that entity known as, or called, Julia Chandler—Judy." Following this assurance that he had contacted the akashic records of my former appearances on earth, as well as those on other planes between material incarnations, he proceeded to give me a detailed account of such experiences as it might be helpful to my present life and activities to know. When the "reading" ended, and Mr. Cayce resumed his normal state of consciousness, the first thing he wanted to know was whether or not anything was said which might explain the shaft of light pouring into my side. "Don't you know?" I asked in astonishment, having assumed he would remember all information given. "I rarely bring back any memory of anything that occurs during a ‗reading‘," he explained. "Only a few times in the thousands I have given have I done so. I hope you got an explanation of the shaft of light?" "No direct explanation," I had to admit. "Perhaps it lies in one of the incarnations you have just reported. I refer to the account of my sojourn in Palestine during the childhood and ministry of Jesus. If we may believe the information you have just given me, I was very close to Him then. Would you be willing to give me a full-time 'reading' on just that particular period?" I asked. Edgar Cayce gave me a characteristic smile. It began with his eyes and ended with his lips. It was an all-embracing, tender acquiescence to my request, and when—after two weeks—the further 'reading' was given it not only revealed the source of the shaft of light penetrating my side, but furnished the second occurrence which cemented one of the most valued and valuable friendships with which my present life has been blessed. Detailed information of this 'reading' is not necessary to my present purpose, which is to show cause for the event which followed it. It will be sufficient to state that it concerned my life at Mt. Carmel as the leader of the Essenes residing there before and after the birth of Jesus. It gave an account of His residence with me from the age of twelve to sixteen for instruction in the prophesies, and education in the thoughts and customs of the countries to which Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

He was to journey before His ministry began. It further detailed my close and consecrated service to the Christ cause on earth at that time. Having tapped such an akashic record, Edgar Cayce's experience in doing so, and the fact that he brought back the memory of it, is not surprising. When Mrs. Cayce had given the suggestion which brought him out of his entranced state, Edgar rose slowly from the couch on which he had been lying; came over to me; stooped down; lifted my skirt and kissed its hem. "What on earth are you doing that for?" I questioningly protested. "To honor you for the rare and beautiful experience you have given me," he said. "I do not know what was in your 'reading', but it must have been closely associated with Jesus, the Christ, for when I was through with the record of your Palestine experience at the time He was there, and turned back, HE appeared to me,- a glorious, radiant form. He placed his arm around my shoulder and said: 'Brother, I will walk with you a bit'. Thus he came with me all the way back to the gates of consciousness, and the path we trod was not just the tiny thread of light which usually guided me back, but a broad, brilliantly lighted pathway leading through realms of in. describable beauty, where heavenly strains of music filled the air. "Do you wonder that I kiss the hem of your garment in honor and in gratitude for the most precious experience of a life-time?" My voice was choked with emotion as I reminded him that his experience had been the gift of the Master, and had not come from me. "Ah, yes," he said, "the gift of my Lord, but only such a 'reading' as you must have had could have lifted me to a vibration high enough to receive it." Later, when he had read the typed report of what he had, that day said in trance, he wrote me a letter from Virginia Beach, in which he said: "I am coming up to New York to give the hem of your dress another kiss, for my walk with the Master at the close of your Palestine 'reading' will always be a great influence in my life,- and I do not mean just THIS life! Your intuitive guidance that this 'reading' explain the shaft of 1ight was certainly reliable, since it makes it very clear to me that it emanates from the Christ, in which case I am sure it will strengthen, guide and sustain you through all your present work, and uphold you in any crisis you may ever have to face." While my "Life Reading," in its entirety, has thrown considerable light on my present path, no incarnation it gave has had so great an influence on both my character and activities, as the alleged Palestine period. It permeates my tastes; my urges; my human relations and all my aspirations. And I am inclined to believe, with Edgar Cayce, that it is closely related to the shaft of light he always saw piercing my side. Just a year before he made his transition to the next room of experience he told me he had never seen me without it. In this connection it is interesting to note that four other clairvoyants have also seen it, and variously described it as "a column of light"; "a blue-white ray"; "a stream of spiritual essence," and "a shaft of flame". None of these people knew any of the others, or that anyone else had ever seen or commented on the phenomena.

In the vaults of the Association for Research & Enlightenment, the organization built around the life work of Edgar Cayce at Virginia Beach, there are some 30,000 "readings" given by him in the service of humanity. Of these approximately 25,000 are what he termed "Physical Readings", given to help people suffering bodily disabilities. There are 2,500 "Life Readings", designed to give those seeking them a better understanding of themselves, and the purpose of their present incarnation. If there is one thing in the world which should clear any possible doubt of the authenticity of the information which came through the Cayce "readings" is the fact that it worked. Practical proofs were given thousands of critically ill people who were healed by following instructions received through "Physical Readings". Other thousands were guided to more effectual living through the "Life Readings" because they traced the soul-development of the entity seeking greater self-knowledge, and more successful relationships with others. They revealed motivations through centuries of successive incarnations and explained present urges and activities as part of the individual's evolutionary pattern. All, this service was rendered while Mr. Cayce's conscious mind was stilled, but in his normal state of consciousness his abilities were scarcely less remarkable. He frequently told me of the "little people" he saw all about him, fairies and elementals, and one of his greatest temptations was to read the thoughts of others. It was so easy and natural a thing for him to do he had to consciously shut off the power. "When I feel myself tuning into the minds of people I feel as guilty and ashamed as if I had taken off all their clothes and stood their nude forms in the public square", he once laughingly explained to me his constant effort to refrain from such an infringement on the privacy of others. I once gave him permission to tune into my thoughts any time he felt inclined to do so, and he frequently proved his ability to do it by telling me exactly what I was thinking. Of course mental telepathy is now an established fact, but I doubt if it ever came so easy to anyone as it did to Edgar Cayce. Others have to make great effort to tune into the minds of friends and neighbors; he had to make great effort NOT to do so. Visions constituted another of Mr. Cayce's extra-sensory experiences. He needed no trance for these. They were effortless occurrences in his every-day living. One of them concerned a house I bought at Virginia Beach in 1941. At the time of its purchase I expected to take up residence in it and write a book on the boyhood of Jesus. Edgar had promised to supplement the information given me in the report already secured with an additional "reading" on my Palestine period, as we were both convinced that my tremendous urge to do this work stemmed from the hours spent with Him on Mt. Carmel in that dim and distant yesteryear of my Essene activities. Several months after my purchase of the Crystal Lake place, Edgar wrote me a very excited letter. Here is what it said: "While fishing from my little pier yesterday I had a vision. In it I visited your house. I entered a long living room which opened on the side through French windows into a screened porch. At the far end of the room were two other Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

windows, and on the other side an arched doorway without a door. I heard you typing in the room beyond the arch and I was about to go in there when I was suddenly joined by three strange men. They were dressed in flowing robes and one wore a jeweled headdress. Each carried some sort of scroll in his hand. I called to you that you had visitors, and when you joined me you wisely refrained from saying you saw no one but me. The three men explained that they had come to bring you the material you need for your book on the boyhood of Jesus. One came from Nazareth and knew Him in His home there. Another was an Egyptian and had been present at one of the Master's initiations in that land. The third came from Persia, and taught the Boy when you sent him there at the age of sixteen to learn the customs of that country. Each one had brought you a scroll on which was written an intimate story of each of these periods. Wasn't it curious, Judy?" Curious? Well, by 1941 I had ceased to thus label anything that came through Edgar Cayce. In the case of the vision recounted in his letter the authenticity of at least part of it was proven, for he had given me an accurate description of the first floor of a house into which his physical body had never entered. Clairvoyance would account for his knowledge of the interior of a place he had never seen with his physical eyes, but how did he conjure up the Eastern personages who materialized out of thin air to offer needed information for my proposed book? When I asked this question of Mr. Cayce, he treated me to his slow smile and said "they were just there." A mere significant incident was born of his clairaudience. When visiting New York in 1943 he told me he had been sitting with his family at dinner when he heard a VOICE. It asked him if he remembered the prayer Jesus said shortly before His Gethsemane experience as reported in the 5th verse of the 17th Chapter of St. John. "Did you remember it?" I questioned eagerly. "Yes. It was: 'And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory I had with thee before the world was made.' Just what do you think Jesus meant?" he asked me. I was deeply touched by the question, for Edgar Cayce was a profound Bible student, and I had never known him to lack an interpretation of any biblical passage. I felt very humble—and a bit proud—that he should value my opinion on such a subject. After a moment's prayerful consideration I thought of something Jacob Boehme wrote over three hundred years ago in his "Aurora". I got the book and read the passage to Edgar. It says: "The Son is in the Father - being the Father's Heart or Light, and the Father generateth the Son continually from eternity, and the Son's power and splendour shine back into the whole Father, as the sun doth shine in the whole world." "The Son being the Christ", Edgar instantly interpreted. "Just so," I agreed. "Then that prayer of Jesus must have meant that He was returning the Christ (He so flawlessly manifested) back to the Cosmic Glory of the Father. As Boehme put it: ‗The Son's power and splendour shining back into the whole Father'. Laying aside Jesus (the material manifestation) He Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

returned the Christ (Son) to the Father and TO THAT GLORY WHICH WAS UNDIMMED BY SEPARATION." Mr. Cayce was in complete accord with this interpretation, and, at the time, I thought of the prayer altogether in terms of Jesus, - the end of His ministry on earth. But, when Edgar Cayce laid aside his material vestment in 1945, it was my conviction that his attention had been directed to this particular prayer because his own unselfish service in the here and now was drawing to an end. This conviction was strengthened as I sat flooded with precious memories, beside the small lake where Edgar Cayce found frequent surcease from the great demands upon his time; his strength and his transcendent abilities. For this (friend of humanity had a holy heart. From it poured reverence and adoration to his Spiritual Source, — which we call God. His unselfed life and purpose made him fertile soil for the truths he brought this Western land. Such a consciousness was a chalice for the great facts of the Soul's evolutionary progress through successive incarnations. Such dedication of life to service as that which saturated the mind and the heart of this great Christian mystic must have caused the Hierarchies to pulsate with joy as they guided and illumined his path. Thinking this, I looked across the peaceful waters of Edgar Cayce's quiet little lake and thus, in earnest prayer, paraphrased the 5th verse of the 17th chapter of St. John: And now, O Father, glorify thou him with Thine Own Self with the glory he had with Thee before the world was made. ♥

3. As we find, in the main this has been very well done. There may be made one suggestion as to attempting to make that presented through these sources conform to that which is already a part of the public record. 4. Draw a parallel, rather than attempting to so word or phrase such paragraphs as to conform. One would be rather the introduction to the other. 5. Ready for questions. 6. (Q) Comment fully on just what the purpose, objectives and general tone of this pamphlet should be. (A) This should be the tone: It is generally conceded by those who are students - in the Christian faith as well as in many other phases of spiritual evolution - that there is the expectancy of a new order, or a fulfilling of or a return to those activities that may bring about the time for that redemption of the world; in a return or in an acknowledgement of that as the basis of the individual instruction or direction. Then, this pamphlet or paper should give to others an insight as to what and how there was the physical, mental and spiritual attitude of that group; as to how those individuals so well acted their part, and yet not becoming known in that presented. So, this may enable individuals and groups to so prepare themselves as to be channels through which the more perfect way may be seen. 7. (Q) What is the correct meaning of the term "Essene"? (A) Expectancy. 8. (Q) Was the main purpose of the Essenes to raise up people who would be fit channels for the birth of the Messiah who later would be sent out into the world to represent their Brotherhood? (A) The individual preparation was the first purpose. The being sent out into the world was secondary. Only a very few held to the idea of the realization in organization, other than that which would come with the Messiah's pronouncements. 9. (Q) Were the Essenes called at various times and places Nazarites, School of the Prophets, Hasidees, Therapeutae, Nazarenes, and were they a branch of the Great White Brotherhood, starting in Egypt and taking as members Gentiles and Jews alike? (A) In general, yes. Specifically, not altogether. They were known at times as some of these; or the Nazarites were a branch or a THOUGHT of same, see? Just as in the present one would say that any denomination by name is a branch of the Christian-Protestant faith, see? So were those of the various groups, though their purpose was of the first foundations of the prophets as established, or as understood from the school of prophets, by Elijah; and propagated and studied through the things begun by Samuel. The movement was NOT an Egyptian one, though ADOPTED by those in another period - or an earlier period - and made a part of the whole movement. They took Jews and Gentiles alike as members, - yes. 10. (Q) Please describe the associate membership of the women in the Essene brotherhood, telling what privileges and restrictions they had, how they joined the Order, and what their life and work was.

(A) This was the beginning of the period where women were considered as equals with the men in their activities, in their abilities to formulate, to live, to be, channels. They joined by dedication - usually by their parents. It was a free will thing all the way thorough, but they were restricted only in the matter of certain foods and certain associations in various periods - which referred to the sex, as well as to the food or drink. 11. (Q) How did Mary and Joseph first come in contact with the Essenes and what was their preparation for the coming of Jesus? (A) As indicated, by being dedicated by their parents. 12. (Q) Please describe the process of selection and training of those set aside as holy women such as Mary, Editha [587], and others as a possible mother for the Christ. How were they chosen, were they mated, and what was their life and work while they waited in the Temple? (A) They were first dedicated and then there was the choice of the individual through the growths, as to whether they would be merely channels for general services. For, these were chosen for special services at various times; as were the twelve chosen at the time, which may be used as an illustration. Remember, these came down from the periods when the school had begun, you see. When there were the activities in which there were to be the cleansings through which bodies were to become channels for the new race, or the new preparation, these then were restricted - of course - as to certain associations, developments in associations, activities and the like. We are speaking here of the twelve women, you see - and all of the women from the very beginning who were dedicated as channels for the new race, see? Hence the group we refer to here as the Essenes, which was the outgrowth of the periods of preparations from the teachings by Melchizedek, as propagated by Elijah and Ilisha and Samuel. These were set aside for preserving themselves in direct line of choice for the offering of themselves as channels through which there might come the new or the divine origin, see? Their life and work during such periods of preparation were given to alms, good deeds, missionary activities - as would be termed today. 13. (Q) Please tell of the contacts of Thesea [2067], Herod's third wife, with the Essenes, her meeting with one of the Essene Wise Men, and what were the names of the two wives preceding her? (A) There was the knowledge of same through the giving of information by one of those in the household who had been so set aside for active service. Through the manner and conduct of life of that individual, and the associations and activities, the entity gained knowledge of that group's activities. 14. (Q) Please describe the Essene wedding, in temple, of Mary and Joseph, giving the form of ceremony and customs at that time. (A) This followed very closely the form outlined in Ruth. It was not in any way a supplanting but a cherishing of the sincerity of purpose in the activities of individuals. When there was to be the association, or the wedding of Joseph and Mary, Mary having been chosen as the channel by the activities indicated upon the Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

stair, by the hovering of the angel, the enunciation to Anna and to Judy [1472] and to the rest of those in charge of the preparations at that time, - then there was to be sought out the nearer of kin, though NOT kin in the blood relationships. Thus the lot fell upon Joseph, though he was a much older man compared to the age ordinarily attributed to Mary in the period. Thus there followed the regular ritual in the temple. For, remember, the Jews were not refrained from following their rituals. Those of the other groups, as the Egyptians or the Parthians, were not refrained from following the customs to which they had been trained; which were not carried on in the Jewish temple but rather in the general meeting place of the Essenes as a body-organization. 15. (Q) What parts of the historical material prepared by Enid Smith should be emphasized in the pamphlet on Essenism, and how best can this material be handled in connection with the Essene material from the life readings? (A) As indicated. By paralleling. 16. (Q) Are there any other suggestions at this time regarding this pamphlet? (A) Make the ceremonies a very beautiful thing, - as may be drawn from how there is the meeting of individuals, and thus the announcing of the privileges of both parents concerning the wedding of those in the Essene group, whether Jew or those of other faiths or other understandings. Make of this a beautiful thing, not as of being "sold." 17. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND OF READING 294-192 M 60 B1. See 294-8, 294-19, 294-183. B2. 4/12/35 See EC Work reading 254-85, Par. 5-A, indicating that EC had been called Lucius at the time of Jesus. B3. 12/15/37 See 1468-2 indicating that EC had been Lucius of Laodicea in the Palestine period. TEXT OF READING 294-192 M 60 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 11th day of February, 1938, in accordance with request made by the self. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. READING Time of Reading 11:20 to 11:50 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Va. (LIFE READING SUGGESTION for period as LUCIUS in PALESTINE.) 1. EC: Yes, we have the records of that entity now called Edgar Cayce; and those experiences in the earth's plane known as Lucius of Cyrene - or known in the early portion of the experience as Lucius Ceptulus, of Grecian and Roman parentage, and of the city of Cyrene. 2. As a developing youth and young man, Lucius was known rather as a ne'erdo-well; or one that wandered from pillar to post; or became - as would be termed in the present day parlance - a soldier of fortune. 3. When there were those activities in and about Jerusalem and Galilee of the ministry of the man Jesus, Lucius came into those environs. 4. Being impelled by the experiences with the followers, and the great lessons as given by the Teacher, he became rather as one that was a hanger-on, and of the very intent and purpose that this was to be the time when there was to be a rebellion against the Roman legions, the Romans in the authority. 5. And the entity Lucius looked forward to same; acting rather in the capacity of not an informant but rather as one attempting to keep in touch with the edicts of the various natures between the political forces in Rome and the political forces among the Jews. 6. The entity was disregarded and questioned by those who were of the Jewish faith who were the close followers of the Master; yet it was among those that were sent AS those who were to be as teachers - or among the Seventy. 7. With the arousing, and the demanding that there be more and more of the closer association with the Teacher, Lucius being of the foreign group was rejected as one of the Apostles; yet was questioned mostly by John, Peter, Andrew, James and those of the closer following - as Matthew, Bartholomew; and was the closer affiliated or associated with Thomas. 8. In those activities then that followed the Crucifixion, and the days of the Pentecost, and the sermon or teachings - and when there was beheld by Lucius the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, when Peter spoke in tongues - or as he spoke in his OWN tongue, it, the message was HEARD by those of EVERY nation in their Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE

OWN tongue - this so impressed Lucius that there came a rededicating, and the determination within self to become the closer associated, the closer affiliated with the Disciples or Apostles. 9. But when the persecutions arose, and there was the choice of those that were to act as those called the deacons - as Philip and Stephen and the others - again he was rejected because of his close associations with one later called Paul, or Saul; he being also of Tarsus or of the country, and a Roman, and questioned as to his Jewish ancestry - though claimed by Paul (or Saul) that he was a Jew. His mother was indeed, and of the tribe of Benjamin, though his father was not. 10. Hence we find the questions arose as to the advisability of putting those in position, either as teachers, ministers or those in active service, that were questioned as to their lineal descent. 11. And again the old question as to whether ANY were to receive the word but those of the household of faith, or of the Jews. 12. During the sojourn in Jerusalem, though, before the greater persecutions that is, before the beheading of James the brother of John and the stoning of Stephen - here again we had a great question arise. For Lucius, through the associations with the one who became his companion or wife as ye would call, was entertained and kept by Mary and Martha and Lazarus - thus we find these again made questions. 13. And there is often the confusing of Lucius and Luke, for these were kinsmen; and Lucius and Luke were drawn or thrown together, and with the conversion of Saul (or Paul) (as he became) they followed closer and closer with the activities of Paul. 14. With the acceptance of Lucius by Paul, and part of those in the Caesarean church, Lucius determined - with his companion - to return to the portion of his own land, owing to the persecutions, and to their attempt to establish a church; to be the minister, to be the active force in those portions of the land. 15. Thus we find in those latter portions of the experience he became the bishop or the director or the president of the Presbytery; or what ye would call the priest or the father or the high counsellor as given to those in the early periods of the Church; that is, the one to whom ALL QUESTIONS were taken respecting what ye would term in the present as theology, or questions pertaining to the laws. 16. In such the entity as the bishop was the last word, other than that there might be the appeal from such a verdict to the church in Jerusalem - or the Apostles themselves. 17. Such disputes brought disturbances at times, when there were the questionings especially as Paul brought into that region as to whether it was well for those in such positions to be married or not. 18. And the declarations as made through the Corinthian and the Ephesian leaders indicate what disturbances there were; because differences arose between Lucius and Paul as well as between Silas and Paul and Barnabas and those that had become the leaders or the real ministers or the missionaries for the Church.

19. Hence this brought into the experience of the entity Lucius disturbance between himself and his companion, because - in the first, the companion was younger in years than Lucius and to them there had been no offspring - no child. 20. This confusion made for periods when there was the withdrawing of the companion, and the closer association of the companion with the teacher that had been the proclaimer and the director in the early experience of the Master's life Himself - or with Judy [1472]; and with Elizabeth and with Mary the Mother of the Lord. 21. With those experiences, and with Paul's being carried on in his second and even his third missionary journey, and with MANY of the things propounded by him that Lucius had declared as things that were unstable, there again - with the teachings to the companion by Judy, by the Mother of the Lord and Elizabeth in their years of maturity teaching this younger person - was brought to Lucius that which later John proclaimed; that there IS in this church of Laodicea no fault yet it is neither hot nor cold - and that for the lack of its very stand it would find condemning. 22. Those became periods when Lucius then was thrown the closer, or drawn the closer to the companion; and with the birth of the child there were brought those periods of the greater contentment and peace in the latter days of the entity called Lucius, and a seeing of the development of those experiences. 23. It may be questioned by some as to why such an OUTSTANDING experience of the entity now called Cayce should not have been given in the first. 24. As has been indicated, each entity, each individual GROWS or applies, or is meeting self in the varied experiences - as the tenets of an individual experience are applied in this present sojourn or activity. 25. If this had been given in the first, there would have been a puffing up - but the very unstableness as was indicated throughout the experience, until there were the lessons to be gained from the companion, may be seen. 26. Then meeting that companion in the present experience brings about that as may be given - that is the HUMBLENESS as was gained, STILL HELD. 27. Then these may become experiences in counseling, in giving to others what may become lessons - from questions of every nature that may arise from EVERY phase of the human experience. 28. And indeed the entity as Lucius IN the activities of the entity called Cayce may become an influence and a power for good in this present portion of this sojourn. 29. Ready for questions. 30. (Q) How closely was the entity associated with Andrew in that experience? (A) Rather there was still questioning, for with Peter the speaker, Andrew the listener, there were disputes as to the advisability of Lucius being put into power; though in the latter portion of the experience we find - as has been indicated in Andrew's experience - they were rather close associated, and Andrew was a defender of Lucius - AFTER there was the settling between the companion and Lucius, after their separation and then reuniting.

31. (Q) Please explain how all heard in their various tongues the message that was given by Peter in the one tongue. [Glossolalia] [Acts 2:4] (A) This was the activity of the spirit, and what the spirit indeed meant and means in the experiences of the individuals during that period. For one that was of Cyrene heard a mixture of the Greek and Aryan tongue; while - though Peter spoke in the Arabic - those that were of the Hebrews heard in the Hebrew language; those in Greek heard in Greek, see?

READING Time of Reading 11:35 to 12:05 A. M. Eastern War Time. 1. GC: You will have before you the life existence in the earth plane of [1010], nee [1010], born April 6, 1871, in Black River Falls, Wisconsin; and the earthly existence of this entity as Sophie or Josie, a handmaid to Mary, Jesus and Joseph, throughout the childhood of the Master. Considering the reference in her Life Reading that a history of this incarnation "would lay the foundation for giving a great deal of historical data," you will give a biographical life of the entity in that day and plane of earthly existence, from entrance - and how - into the earth's plane, and the entity's departure; giving the development or retarding points in such an existence. You will answer the questions that may be asked: 2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [1010], in the present; as Josie in the Palestine experience and activities; together with the information which has been indicated through these channels. 3. In giving the biographical life of the entity Josie, much of those activities might be indicated that brought about those later relationships with Mary, the mother of Jesus. 4. As has been outlined from here, there were those special groups of individuals who had made some preparations for the expected activities that were to come about during that particular period; especially those of the Essenes who had chosen the twelve maidens to indicate their fitness. This choice was to be made by those selections indicated by the spirit, and Josie was the daughter of Shem and Mephibosheth that was among these. 5. This entity, Josie, was close to Mary when the selection was indicated by the shadow or the angel on the stair, at that period of consecration in the temple. This was not the temple in Jerusalem, but the temple where those who were consecrated worshiped, or a school - as it might be termed - for those who might be channels. 6. This was a part of that group of Essenes who, headed by Judy, made those interpretations of those activities from the Egyptian experience, - as the Temple Beautiful, and the service in the Temple of Sacrifice. Hence it was in this consecrated place where this selection took place. 7. Then, when there was the fulfilling of those periods when Mary was espoused to Joseph and was to give birth to the Savior, the Messiah, the Prince of Peace, the Way, the Truth, the Light, - soon after this birth there was the issuing of the orders first by Judy that there should be someone selected to be with the parents during their period of sojourn in Egypt. This was owing to the conditions which arose from the visit of the Wise Men and their not returning to Herod to report, when the decrees were issued that there should be the destruction of the children of that age from six months to two years, especially in that region from Bethany to Nazareth. 8. Thus this entity, Josie, was selected or chosen by those of the Brotherhood, sometimes called White Brotherhood in the present, - as the handmaid or companion of Mary, Jesus and Joseph, in their flight into Egypt. 9. This began on an evening, and the journey - through portions of Palestine, from Nazareth to the borders of Egypt - was made only during the night.

10. Do not understand that there was only Joseph, Mary, Josie and the Child. For there were other groups that preceded and followed; that there might be the physical protection to that as had been considered by these groups of peoples as the fulfilling of the Promised One. 11. In the journeys to Egypt, little of great significance might be indicated, but the care and attention to the Child and the Mother was greatly in the hands of this entity, Josie, through that journey. 12. The period of sojourn in Egypt was in and about, or close to, what was then Alexandria. 13. Josie and Mary were not idle during that period of sojourn, but those records - that had been a part of those activities preserved in portions of the libraries there - were a part of the work that had been designated for this entity. And the interest in same was reported to the Brotherhood in the Judean country. 14. The sojourn there was a period of some four years, - four years, six months, three days. 15. When there were those beginnings of the journey back to the Promised Land, there were naturally - from some of the records that had been read by the entity Josie, as well as the parents - the desires to know whether there were those unusual powers indicated in this Child now, - that was in every manner a normal, developed body, ready for those activities of children of that particular period. 16. But do not interpret same in the light of childhood in thine own land in the present, - more in the light of the oriental. For, remember, Egypt as well as parts of Galilee were the customs and activities of those to whom the care of this physical entity was entrusted through that early sojourn in the earth. 17. The return was made to Capernum, - not Nazareth, - not only for political reasons owing to the death of Herod but the division that had been made with the kingdom after the death of Herod; and that there might be the ministry or teaching that was to be a part of the Brotherhood, - supervised in that period by Judy, as among the leaders of the Essenes in that particular period. 18. Hence much of the early education, the early activities, were those prompted or directed by that leader in that particular experience, but were administered by or in the closer associations by - Josie. Though from the idea of the Brotherhood the activities of the entity were no longer necessitated, the entity Josie preferred to remain - and did remain until those periods when there was the sending or the administering of the teachings to the young Master, first in Persia and later in India, and then in Egypt again - where there were the completions. 19. But the entity, Josie, following the return, was active in all the educational activities as well as in the care of the body and the attending to those things pertaining to the household duties with every developing child. And Josie was among those who went with Mary and Joseph when they went to the city, or to Jerusalem, at the time of the age of twelve. It was thought by Joseph and Mary that it was in the care of Josie that He had stayed, when He was missed, in those periods when there was the returning to find Him in the temple. 20. Josie was with Mary throughout those activities. And is it any wonder that when there were those preparations of the body for burial that Josie was the one who brought the spices, the ointments that were to consecrate the preparations Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

of this body for whom it had cared through those early periods of its experience in the earth? 21. Through that period Josie never married, and was known among the Holy Women throughout the period; coming and persuading the Mother, Mary, when there was the arrest, to come to Jerusalem. 22. The entity passed on through those periods of riots following the beheading of James, the brother of John. 23. Ready for questions. 24. (Q) What association with the entity who is now [294] did I have in the Palestine experience? (A) The teacher of the Master knew only of Lucius through those activities in Laodicea, - for he came at the time of Pentecost, see? 25. (Q) What was the nature of the records studied by Josie in Egypt? (A) Those same records from which the men of the East said and gave, "By those records we have seen his star." These pertained, then, to what you would call today astrological forecasts, as well as those records which had been compiled and gathered by all of those of that period pertaining to the coming of the Messiah. These had been part of the records from those in Carmel, in the early experiences, as of those given by Elijah, - who was the forerunner, who was the cousin, who was the Baptist. All of these had been a part of the records pertaining not only to the nature of work of the parents but as to their places of sojourn, and the very characteristics that would indicate these individuals; the nature and the character that would be a part of the experiences to those coming in contact with the young Child; as to how the garments worn by the Child would heal children. For the body being perfect radiated that which was health, life itself. Just as today, individuals may radiate, by their spiritual selves, health, life, that vibration which is destruction to dis-ease in any form in bodies. These were the characters and natures of things studied by Josie. For, is it not quoted oft, "All of these things she kept and pondered them in her heart"? With what? With the records that Josie as well as herself had seen. These records were destroyed, of course, in a much later period. 26. (Q) Can any more details by given as to the training of the Child? (A) Only those that covered that period from six years to about sixteen, which were in keeping with the tenets of the Brotherhood; as well as that training in the law, - which was the Jewish or Mosaic law in that period. This was read, this was interpreted in accordance with those activities defined and outlined for the parents and the companions of the developing body. Remember and keep in mind, He was normal, He developed normally. Those about Him saw those characteristics that may be anyone's who wholly puts the trust in God! And to every parent might it not be said, daily, dedicate thy life that thy offspring may be called of God into service - to the glory of God and to the honor of thy name! 27. We are through.

P. 37 It is even claimed by ancient and modern authority that Christ was an Essene...therefore Christ would naturally associate Himself with an order that was so congenial to His nature. P. 67 From a well-authenticated tradition we learn concerning St. John the Baptist that his father and mother died when he was quite young, and that he was then adopted by the Essenes and finally became their Rabbin. In that capacity he performed the duty of baptizing the initiates and thus acquired the cognomen of John the Baptist.

R2. 2/69 Richmond-Times Dispatch article: "Mystery Gradually Unfolding - Scrolls Said To Add Insight" NEW YORK (A/P) - Like the gradual unfolding of a mystery story, fragmentary hints and clues today are being accumulated from musty manuscripts of the past to illuminate the times of Jesus. "A steady stream of material is increasing our knowledge of that period,‖ says the Rev. Dr. Robert Northup of New York Theological Seminary. "We can expect a tide of additional material soon." The painstakingly slow but dramatic process has been going on for about 20 years now, since the big finds of ancient documents in the dunes of Egypt in 1946 and in caves beside the Dead Sea in 1947. However, less than half of them have been deciphered and published so far, and work now is nearing completion on the rest. "Not much has been told about what most of these other manuscripts contain,‖ said Dr. Northup, professor of New Testament literature and a research specialist on ancient writings of that era. "We can anticipate their general nature from what we've already learned, but each is distinct, and some of them may provide information that will give us new, even fuller understanding." Notably, however, despite premature assumptions that the contents might undermine Christian views of Jesus, scholars say that instead the results have given new weight to the New Testament accounts. "It has helped to make even clearer the special value and authenticity to the gospel records," Dr. Northup said. For instance, some gospel phraseology, especially in the Book of John, previously had caused many scholars to date it about a century after Jesus' death, but the usages now are found to have been common in his own day, indicating an earlier origin. Consequently, there now is new, objective ground for considering all the gospel accounts, including John, as having been produced within the span of the lifetimes of the apostles. Of the seven leather-bound codexes or books found in Egypt, containing 49 tractates or writings, the dating of which varies in opinion from the 1st to the 4th century, Dr. Northup said only five of the writings have been generally published so far, most of it abstract material.

Besides detailed records about a separatist Jewish community, the Essenes, which lived in isolation beside the Dead Sea through Jesus' time, the documents also include all or parts of every Old Testament book except Esther, providing copies 1,000 years older than available before. "We now have a much more complete picture of the conditions both at the time Jesus lived and in the early period afterward,‖ Dr. Northup said. "But the material also raises new questions and possibilities." Among those questions, he noted, is whether the immediate forerunner of Jesus, John the Baptist, or even Jesus himself, were at some point associated with the Qumron community, the Essenes, who left the scrolls. But if they ever were related to the group, they broke with it and differed decisively in their teachings, he said. He noted that while both Jesus and the Qumron community pointed to the Old Testament Scripture, the community only interpreted it to justify its own views, while Jesus made his own personal authority central, asserting an advance in revealed truth. "He didn't use Scripture to justify his authority, but claimed it within himself, saying the way people acted toward him was the decisive thing,‖ Dr. Northup said. However, he noted that Jesus, in his sharp criticisms of various religious parties and sects in his day, never mentioned the Essenes, possibly "because, even though differing from them, he may have felt they were searching similar points of faith."

BACKGROUND OF READING 1151-10 M 48 B1. See 1151-1 on 4/22/36 and subsequent Life Readings. TEXT OF READING 1151-10 M 48 (Labor-Management Mediator, Protestant) This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the David E. Kahn home, 20 Woods Lane, Scarsdale, N.Y., this 21st day of November, 1937, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [1151], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. [1151] and Mrs. [1158]. READING Time of Reading 12:00 to 12:45 Noon - Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.Y. 1. GC: You will have before you the entity, [1151], born Feb. 12, 1889, in Brooklyn, N.Y., who seeks detailed information concerning his Roman-Palestine sojourn, covering his biographical life, work and associations throughout that experience, from the entity's entrance to his departure. You will also give the developing or retarding associations and influences of that plane which bear on the present life, and how they may be best used in the present experience for the entity's highest development and service. You will then answer the questions he will submit, as I ask them, concerning his present life and associations. 2. EC: Yes - again we are permitted to look into the records here, of that entity now called [1151]. 3. We also find that as has been indicated and given, from the experience in the Roman-Palestine period. 4. In giving that as we find the interpretation of same here: 5. It was in those years when there was the establishing of the Julian calendar, and when changes were wrought as to times. Hence the record will be measured here from that in which time was counted later. 6. In that portion of the land now called Rome, then a portion of Heliopolis, the entity was the son then of one Antonius [?] and Josie [?] that came in the activities of the Roman experience; educated in the ways of those peoples that were both for the Roman and the Grecian forces. 7. And those things that became a part of the experiences were the lessons which had been taught by the Grecian soldier that later fed the hemlock. 8. Thus the entity grew into grace with those in authority, through the activities as came under the influences of Caesar Augustus, later Claudius and those that ruled over the varied lands that had become a portion of the experiences - or under the direction of the Romans. 9. The entity, as has been indicated, was one who traveled through those lands, making those associations, those recommendations for the manners in which the peoples under the various schools would be taxed, according to their SPIRITUAL counsel - or according to what ye would call the religious influences and the judging of these.

10. Hence we find the man, then, at thirty, coming into associations during those periods when the Master walked in the earth - as the young man just beginning the ministry. 11. In these associations the entity came in close contact with those of the household from which the Master had gone out; becoming associated with, later married to (and by the Master), the SISTER of the Master - the ONLY sister, who had received education in Greece AND Rome, through the associations of the family with the sects of the Jews and a portion that favored the Romans. 12. Hence much of that which had been a portion of the experience of the household of Mary and Joseph was known to the entity. 13. And when the Master was called home, owing to the death of Joseph, the husband of Mary, the entity then - that ye now call [1151] - first became the closer associated with Jesus, the Master. 14. For owing to the visitations of Jesus the man in other lands, and because of the Roman rule, and the changes wrought the entity then - Romacio [?]* - found it necessary to make for the activities that brought a closer understanding. * [GD's note: See 1151-1 saying his name was Philoas - it was spelled out by EC. In N.Y. I did not have access to 1151-1, so when he said the name without spelling it, I did not understand and had to put a question mark. Perhaps he used both names?] 15. During those periods the activities were in keeping the Jewish masters or the Jewish rulers COORDINATING with the activities of the Roman rulers - as in that particular province in which the greater activities were under Pontius Pilate. 16. Hence we find, as would be applied in the present, as is the experience of the entity ever in the present experience, the entity became as one associated with the producer and that produced - or with the capital and the labor, or the activities as related to same. 17. These become a natural activity from same; as then many of not only the tax assessors, the tax gatherers, but those who judged in the various provinces as to the amounts, as to the abilities came under the supervision of the entity during those experiences. 18. Hence we find there were many of those that were the followers, yea the disciples, later called Apostles, who became close friends then in one manner or another - of the entity. 19. It is sometimes judged that most of the disciples were poor; and this was not true. For Zebedee and his sons, Matthew the publican, all who were closely associated were rather well-to-do. Peter and Andrew, of course, were servants or laborers with the sons of Zebedee; but Zebedee was among the wealthy - and among those closely associated with those in authority. 20. For as these were a portion of the family of which John, James, Jude, Ruth and all became a part, these were kinsmen; and people that were in authority so far as capital is concerned - as ye would term in the present; and were not poor! 21. While Peter, Andrew, Thomas, Alphaeus were not of the wealthy, all of these were known to the entity; as also was Matthew, as just given, who had been one appointed by an aide of the entity in the experience.

22. Thus came the closer understanding. For the entity then studied, as it were, those things that PROMPTED the activity of the various sets and sects; as the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Essenes, the influence upon the Roman soldiery as well as the Roman rule, as well as upon the individuals who were set in authority in the varied provinces. 23. Then, the period arrives when the entity is just called to Rome, during that period of the trial - or just before the trial, during the Crucifixion; returning to Jerusalem or to those environs of same just the day AFTER this had occurred. 24. Thus we find the walk to Emmaus with the disciples, one Luke the beloved physician who was both a Roman and a Jew - and OF those same provinces in the Grecian rule that were under the Roman authorities. 25. Thus we find the entity again PHYSICALLY in association, in touch with the influence of the Master, Jesus, who became the Christ in the life lived. 26. Thus we find the entity later, when there was the recall of Pilate for that which had been brought about, returned to Rome as one who counseled with the Caesars for those very activities, and making the changes that brought Philip and Agrippa and the judges that were to judge later when those periods in which Paul, Peter, John, Philip and Stephen were active. These all became a portion of the experiences of the entity. 27. Though remaining a Roman, the entity was in sympathy with those activities; lending counsel and giving those influence that prevented the full destruction of the disciples - during those periods of experience. 28. Is there any wonderment then that the entity in the present experience finds the urge for service? for it was gained by those close walks with the entity, the man, Jesus; who had given, "He that would be the greatest among you, he is the servant of all." 29. These became then as it were the sign, the guide, the directing influence in the experience of the entity. 30. And we find little in that sojourn, that activity, that may be said to have been even a tendency towards retardment. 31. For ALL was in purpose, in desire, to be even as He had taught, that they who for any cause lord over their fellow man become that as must sooner or later become a stumbling stone. 32. And as He gave also, each and every individual is in that position, that phase, that state of development, or UNFOLDMENT, that they have builded in their application of that as He gave IS the whole law; to love the Lord thy God with all thy body, thy mind, thy soul, and thy neighbor as thyself. 33. This is the whole law. May all learn, as the entity strove then to apply those tenets, those truths in the EXPERIENCES of those that were put in authority - by man, yea, but that they might have, they might show in their opportunity, that the love of the Father surpasses the GLORY of man. 34. In those periods of activity following those persecutions and the changes that came about in the individual authorities in the various provinces, the entity returned again and again to those lands, associations and activities; meeting with those who had been keepers of the records here or there, those who had been in authority for the levying of taxes, the manners of the levying, etc. Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

35. Thus we find throughout the entity's experience and the entity's associations with those of what ye call or term the Palestine experience, there was NO REBELLION OF those peoples of the land against ROMAN authority - only after those periods when the entity was recalled, or attempted to keep closer in touch with those who had been called to Rome, when Paul - by his own SELF - brought misinterpreting, misunderstanding; and when Peter, and the Church - as John and here the entity, in the last acts of his intervention, SAVED that entity - for the followers, for the world - from that death as the others had drawn or had come to. 36. Hence the banishment of John was by the very DIRECT intervention of the entity with those in authority, and the taking away from the churches that had been established in the various places that there might be preserved the records for same - became a portion of the entity's experience. 37. There was the passing then from the physical activity in Rome during that period when there were just the beginnings of the attempts for the unification of the religious as well as the penal laws, or the laws in the other lands ruled by the Roman empire. 38. The entity once, just before the interventions, went to the libraries in Alexandria - and there were the attempts to placate any of the destructions that later became the loss to what is now called the Christian world. 39. It was at that age or period some sixty years AFTER the Crucifixion - then ninety years or ninety-three years of age - at the passing. 40. (Q) I would like to know a more detailed account of the report I made to Rome concerning the Christian movement in Palestine. (A) These were of such varied characters, we find it is necessary that all of these be taken as what may be termed individual reports, see? At the time when there was the recalling of Pilate, and the reports that had been made as to the activities of the wife of Pilate as related to the healing that had been accomplished in the household, then we find a very FAVORABLE report to the Christians - though the entity was questioned much by those who were directly under the supervision of the entity. But the report was accepted by the Roman emperor and acted upon according to the directions of the entity; that Pilate be removed, and one closer in association or in sympathy with the Christian movement be appointed in the stead - as is seen or is recorded by profane history as well as by intimation in sacred history. During those periods when there were the uprisings, as in some places and positions, we find the reports then were not so severe against the individual activities of the Romans in authority; for never again do we find, as has just been given, any of the Roman RULERS of the various provinces acting WITHOUT the direction from Rome through the activities of the entity. While these reports were not that Rome should just ACCEPT the authority, but that there be the REASONING TOGETHER. For he gave then, even as did the great teacher from the Sanhedrin - Gamaliel - let not ye find thyselves fighting against God. This might be said then to be the whole of the report. Not be in that attitude of condemning, but do not act in such measures as to find thyself fighting against providence and God.

41. (Q) Did I secure information from the entity now known as [1472]? (A) Information respecting the activities of the Essenes as to whether they were averse to the authority of the Jewish rulers, as well as the Romans. The activities or lessons, or information gained from the keeper of the records of the Essenes - or Judy - were those things that prompted the entity later to investigate for self those records that were reported to have been made, and that were in the library of Alexandria, of the Wise Men that came from the other lands just before the birth, and at the time of the birth presented themselves - or a few days later in the town of Bethlehem. Yes, the entity gained, or obtained, a record of that as had been gathered by the keeper of records from Carmel. 42. (Q) How close a relationship had I with the entity now known as [1472]? (A) Just as would be intimated - as here the entity Judy was held in reverence by all of the followers of Jesus, though persecuted oft by the Jews - or the sects of the Jews - under various circumstances. But not as an informer was the entity considered by the entity now known as [1151], but as one that would and that did give the facts of the activities of various groups in respect to not only the Essenes but the other portions of the various groups in the land. The association then was quite close at times; at others not so closely associated yet keeping in touch with the activities. 43. (Q) How close was I to the entity now known as [1470]? (A) As has been indicated, or may be gathered from that which has been given, the entity now called [1470], was what would be called a deputy - or one who was given certain portions of the province from which to make the levy. Then, what ye would term in the present as a clerk, or as an agent, or as an associate - but rather a subordinate associate. 44. (Q) Does my experience from that period justify now my approaching Foundations for financing my activities in relation to labor policies? (A) The activities of the entity, as just indicated, were such as to lend to self not only the motives but the impetus, the feelings of necessities for this understanding to ever be between the supply, the demand; the one who labors those that receive not only the benefits materially but physically and mentally from such. Hence this would make for that ability in which there may be made overtures in such ways and manners as to receive the greatest and the wholehearted cooperation from Foundations, from groups. 45. (Q) Did I know the entity, [1486], in the Palestine period? (A) We don't find quite the association, yet we get the vibration. Hold it. (Pause) Yes, the entity as we find, [1486], was put in authority as a special judge during that experience by the entity; when there were those disturbances in that portion of the province - or activities in Galilee. 46. (Q) Any other advice that may be given at this time that will be of benefit and help? (A) Hold to that purpose that has prompted thee, not only in thy activities then but in those that ye are repeating in this experience - from those great Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

awakenings and unfoldments that came to thee when thou had indeed learned, thou had experienced indeed, "I am my brother's keeper?" even as the Master gave of His whole self - body and mind - risking even the spirit, that man might know there is an advocate with the Father. So can ye bring into the hearts and minds of those in authority, here or there, whether it be those that labor day by day, or those that work in the office or where, the realization that ALL must work as the cog, the wheel, that must bring together all for ONE purpose - SERVICE, that the Father may be manifested through the love each soul shows for the other! 47. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND OF READING 1472-1 F 57 B1. 11/4/37 She referred Mr. [1470] for a Life Reading TEXT OF READING 1472-1 F 57 (Writer, Radio Broadcaster, Protestant) This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the David E. Kahn home, 20 Woods Lane, Scarsdale, N.Y., this 6th day of November, 1937, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [1472], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [1151] and Mrs. [1158]. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [1472]. READING Born May 5, 1880, in Bowling Green, Virginia. Time of Reading 3:50 to 4:50 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Life Reading Suggestion) 1. (In going back over years from present -" - '85 - rather as a cross - '84, '83 -" etc., on back to birth date.) 2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [1472]. 3. In giving the interpretations of these, we find these are those that may be helpful in the experience of the entity through the present sojourn. 4. These are beautiful in many of the experiences, yet the more turmoil may appear to be present in this present sojourn. 5. For the entity has come a long way, and oft grows weary with the burdens not only that become a part of self's experience but that apparently are unburdened and yet burdened upon the entity, in its dealings with those about self. 6. Remember, though, that these ARE but that which is a part of the experience; for those whom He loveth, those He holdeth dear in their dealings with the fellow man. 7. For He hath indeed given His angels charge concerning thee, and He will bear thee up - if ye will faint not but hold to that purpose whereunto thou hast purposed in thy tabernacle in the present. 8. For know that His temple in thee is HOLY; and thy body-mind is indeed the temple of the living God. 9. Thus may ye find oft that upon the horns of the altar many of the burdens may be laid aside, and that the sweet incense of faith and hope and prudence and PATIENCE will arise to bring the consciousness and the awakening of the glories that may be thine. 10. In giving, for this entity, the interpretations of the records made - upon time and space from God's book of remembrance - we find life, as a whole, is a continuous thing; emanating from power, energy, God-Consciousness, ever. 11. And as it must ever be, so has it ever been; so that only a small vista or vision may be taken here and there, from the experiences of the entity in those environs of an astrological nature (as ye term). 12. Or the experiences of the visitation of the soul-entity, as it were, during those periods when absent from the material, three-dimensional matter, become as in Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

the accord with that which has been accredited by the students - yea, by the seers of old to those astrological aspects. 13. That is, the influences or environs to the entity in those consciousnesses that are given as a portion of the experience, from such sojourns, are as signs or symbols or emblems in the experience of the entity in the present. 14. For as the entity experiences, it is ever the NOW and what the entity or soul may do ABOUT the consciousness or awareness that makes for those influences which are to be. 15. Hence such influences that are accredited much to the astrological aspects become a portion of the entity, not because of the position at the time of birth but because of the entity's sojourn there. Or, rather, because the All-Wise, AllCreative Force has given into the keeping of the souls that they journey as it were from experience or awareness or consciousness to consciousness, that they - as a portion of the whole - may become aware of same. 16. And as the injunction has been from the beginning, subdue ye the influences from without, that ye may be a fit companion, that you may be one with that Creative Force or Energy ye worship as thy Maker, thy God, thy Brother - yea, that within which ye live, ye move, ye have your being! 17. Then as we find, as the consciousness is aware of the individual now, and knows itself to be itself - these are the purposes. 18. Then only as an individual gives itself in service does it become aware. For as the divine love has manifested, does become manifested, that alone ye have given away do ye possess. That ALONE is the manner in which the growth, the awareness, the consciousness grows to be. 19. For until the experiences are thine, thy awareness cannot be complete. 20. As to the astrological aspects, we find these become as innate or mental - or dream, or visions, or cries, or voices as it were from within. 21. But the influences that arise from the few appearances in the material sojourns or consciousness (that have an effect in the present) are to create or bring about or affect the emotions. 22. Hence as there are those contacts with individual entities - for this entity is struggling even as they - there comes with the awareness of their thoughtexpression in material consciousness the emotions, the awareness of their struggles having been as parallel, or at cross purposes here or there. 23. Yet having left as it were upon the skein of time and space that consciousness that only in the patience of the divine love may that hope, that helpfulness be made complete - as ye lean upon the arm of thy Brother, thy Friend, ye may be borne to the very presence of divinity itself. 24. In the astrological aspects then we find these as a part of this entity's experience; that Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Uranus, Neptune all become a portion of the entity's innate activity. 25. Hence these come into material manifestation by the application of, or doing something about, the urge produced by that activity that is latent yet is so subtle, yet so definite as to produce that which brings movement to the experience of self. 26. Thus it becomes a portion of its activity in the material sojourn. Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

27. Venus and Jupiter bring sympathy, love, beauty; and those abilities to depict same into material activity such that it becomes a portion of the longings and the hopes of the many. 28. For as thoughts are things, and as their currents run into the experience of individuals, they shape lives and activities so that they become miracles or crimes in the experiences of others as they mete them in their associations with their fellow men. 29. For as ye do it unto the least of these, thy brethren, ye do it unto thy Maker. 30. Hence these make for those activities in the experience of this entity's soul in which the masses, as well as classes and groups, are to be, will be, influenced. 31. Hence is there little wonder that oft there is the second thought - yea, the counsel with the inner self - as to whether that written, that spoken, that printed, that said in thy dealings with others becomes as a wonderment or is constructive or destructive? 32. But more and more may the thoughts expressed and given out by the entity bring constructive activity in the lives of others, as the self gains that open consciousness that He has given His angels charge lest ye dash thy foot against a stone. 33. Hence know that He is in His holy temple, and that all the earth must hear, must know. For every knee must bow to that love divine, as ye are capable of meting and measuring through such activities in thy experience and thy relationships with thy fellow men. 34. In Mars we find those fits of anger, resentment, selfishness here and there; those impure motives creating those struggles, those entanglements, those angers. Yet these as they arise upon thy horizon of activity in thy relationships may oft keep from view the visions of that glory prepared for those who love the Lord. 35. Yet know that truth and light, as may be aroused or made alive from the assurances of His walks with thee, will dissipate those fogs, those mists, as ye apply love in thy dealings with every character of circumstance in thy experience with others. 36. Then these will matter little; for the Lord's ways are not past finding out, yet ye must oft learn to wait upon the Lord, and not become overanxious - in thy anxiety that "they, too" taste of the goodness that may be found in the divine love. 37. In Uranus, as well as in Neptune, we find the water - yea, the elementals; the fire and water - oft interfering? no, cleansing rather. For as hath been given, all must be tried so as by fire. All must be purified. 38. Yet in the beauty of life springing anew in the water of life itself, ye find in the mysteries - yea, the occult and the spiritual forces - influences that make for EXTREMES in the lives of many. 39. Yet as He walked the path to Gethsemane, [Jesus] as He struggled alone with His own Cross; so ye - as ye struggle HAVE the assurance that His presence abideth; and they that become overzealous or overanxious may find that the stepping-stones that may be in thy experience become stumbling-stones.

40. But keep ye the faith in not the Cross as sacrifice but the Cross as the WAY, the LIGHT, the LIFE! 41. For without the Cross there is not the Crown! 42. As to the appearances in the earth, all may not be visioned from this particular experience or sojourn. For as ye apply thyself in thy daily experiences in bringing those bonds here, those activities in the sojourns of others, ye bring the NEW visions and vistas of thy sojourns materially as well as in the astrological spheres about this thine own concept of the universe. But: 43. Before this we find the entity was in the land of the present nativity, during those periods of the settlings in the early portions of the land. 44. It was when there were those being brought into the land for companions, helpmeets to those of the land. 45. The entity was among those brought hither from the English land, and become in the household of that family which later grew to be in authority, in power, in that Virginian land; or in the household of that family whose name has been changed to what is now called Byrd - then Bayonne [?]. 46. In the experience, as Clementine, the entity's activities were in the assurance of the freedom of actions for the bringing not only of conveniences into the home but into the activities of the neighboring groups roundabout. 47. And these have left upon the consciousness of the entity such emotions that oft it finds itself bound by convention, bound by that which prevents the full expression. 48. Yet know in the awareness that ye will find more and more that the TRUTH indeed sets one FREE. NOT to convention, of the material policies or activities, but in SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH! 49. For God looks upon the purposes, the ideals of the heart, and not upon that which men call convention. 50. Before that we find the entity was in the Palestine land, during those days when the Master walked in the earth; and when there were the peoples about those activities of not only the birth but His sojourns before and after the return from Egypt - those whom Judy blessed, that labored in the preserving of the records of HIS activities as the Child; the activities of the Wise Men, the Essenes and the groups to which Judy had been the prophetess, the healer, the writer, the recorder - for all of these groups. 51. And though questioned or scoffed by the Roman rulers and the tax gatherers, and especially those that made for the levying or the providing for those activities for the taxation, the entity gained throughout. 52. Though the heart and body was often weary from the toils of the day, and the very imprudence - yea, the very selfishness of others for the aggrandizing of their bodies rather than their souls or minds seeking development, the entity grew in grace, in knowledge, in understanding. 53. And in the present those abilities arise from its desire, from its hopes to put into the word of the DAY, the experience of the day, in all phases of human experience, LESSONS - yea, symbols, yea tenets - that will drive as it were HOME, in those periods when the soul takes thought and counsel with itself, as to whence the experiences of the day are leading - as to whether they are Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

leading to those activities that are the fruits of the spirit of truth and life, or to those that make for selfishness, and the aggrandizement of material appetites without thought of those things that are creative and only make the pure growths within the experience of others. 54. Hence whether it be in jest, in stories, in song or poem, or whether in skits that may show the home life, the lover - yea, the weary traveler yea the highminded, and they that think better of themselves then they ought to think THESE abilities are there. Use them. For He, even as then, will bless thee with His presence in same. And what greater assurance can there be in the experience of any soul than to know that He - yea, the Son of Mary - yea, the Son of the Father, the Maker of heaven and earth, the Giver of all good gifts - will be thy right hand, yea thy heart, thy mind, thy eye, thy heart itself - if ye will hold fast to Him! 55. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land, during those periods when there were the gatherings of those from the turmoils, from the banishments, and those from the Atlantean land. 56. The entity then was among those from the lands that were later called the Parthenian lands, or what ye know as the Persian land from which the conquerors then of Egypt had come. 57. As a Princess from that land the entity came to study the mysteries for the service it might give to those of her own land, the Carpathians or as has been given, the entity was among the FIRST of the pure white from that land to seek from the Priest and those activities in the Temple Beautiful for the purifying of self that she, too, might give to her own not only the tenets but the practical application of that which would bring home in the material experience an ASSURANCE in the separations from the body. 58. Thus in the abilities of the entity from that experience, as well as those gained throughout those activities, we find in the present: Just meting out day by day those visions, that ye have gained here, that ye have seen in thy experiences, thy sojourns, ye will find that HE the keeper, HE the Creator, will give the increase necessary for the activities in every sphere of thy experience. 59. For keeping inviolate that thou knowest gives assurance not only in self but in the promises that He will bear thee UP! 60. If there is kept that purpose in self, there is little need for a return; save as one that may lead the way to those that are still in darkness. [See 1/20/38 report from her in re this incarnation.] 61. As to the practical application, then: 62. In the writing, in the song; in the meting it out in the conversation day by day. For YE can only be the sower. GOD giveth the increase! 63. Faint not at well-doing. 64. Ready for questions. 65. (Q) How can I extend the borders of my consciousness to include fourth dimensional knowledge and achieve greater spiritual illumination? (A) These illuminations, the greater visions, only come by the communion with the true life and light from within.

For as thy body is the temple of thy OWN self, so is the kingdom of heaven within, even as He gave. And if ye will but open the door of thy consciousness and let Him come in, He will sup with thee and give thee that thou may USE day by day. 66. (Q) Where, when and what was my relationship to the entity now known as [1470], in any past incarnation, and what does he mean to my present life pattern? (A) In the Palestine period the self was as Judy, the entity [1470] was as the Roman that made light much, and later came to seek. And thus in authority in self doth he find that those activities in the present will become much in the same way and manner. For not as one dependent upon the other, but one as bolstering as it were the purposes that may be held aright. 67. (Q) Where, when and what was my past relationship to the entity now known as [1151], and what is the purpose of my present association with him? (A) In the same land. Here we find quite a variation in the activity. For as the entity that walked in the way to Emmaus FOUND that those records of those activities became part and parcel of the experience, so is that bond of sympathy found in the associations that awakens the urge for a HELPFULNESS WITHOUT QUESTION as one to another. 68. (Q) Is radio the field in which I can best use my spiritual enlightenment and writing ability for the greatest service to the world? (A) Radio is a means of expression; writing is a means of confirmation and is longer LASTING. 69. (Q) Why do I get so little love, consideration and appreciation from those to whom I pour out the most service and devotion? (A) Study that which has been given thee relative to such, and ye will see that it is patience ye must learn, that ye must add to those virtues that have made thee ever the burden bearer for the many throughout those periods when the awakenings were coming. Faint not because of thy loneliness, for who can be alone with His love, His promises abiding with thee! These may make for a blooming into activity in thy experience, and WILL, if ye will give expression more and more to those promises that are thy very own. For He, as He hath promised, may bring to thy remembrance ALL things from the foundations of the earth. Know the Lord is nigh; and that those who keep watch, who keep faith WITH thee, are even as those of old - when there are the hundreds, yea the thousands that have never bended the knee to Baal, but as thee - only need that light, that assurance that He IS the guiding light! 70. (Q) How can I help my daughter, the entity now known as [...]? (A) Be not overanxious. Ever be ready rather to give an answer for the faith that lieth within. Not as argumentive, but as that which has been, which is, which ever will be the assurance to thee of the faith, the love that conquers all. 71. (Q) Who and where is my real mate? (A) This may best be found by considering that as was the experience in those activities during the Palestine period, yea those full activities of the entity Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

41

AS Judy in that period with the Essenes. Study even that little which has been preserved of same. Ye will find him studying same also! 72. (Q) Can you tell me anything of the activity and development of my son, the entity known in this life as [...] who died at the age of 13? (A) As has been given thee, let Him, the Way, the Life, reveal this to thee in thine OWN meditation. He is near at hand. If thine eyes will be opened, if thy purposes will be set in the service, in the patience of love, He may reveal - as given - ALL things to thee. Let thy deeper meditation be, in thine own way, but as these thoughts: LORD, MY LORD, MY GOD! THY HANDMAID SEEKS LIGHT AND UNDERSTANDING! OPEN TO MY MIND, MY HEART, MY PURPOSE, THAT WHICH I MAY USE IN MY DAILY SERVICE, MY DAILY CONTACTS, THAT WILL BE MORE AND MORE EXPRESSIVE OF THY LOVE TO THE CHILDREN OF MEN. 73. We are through for the present. REPORTS OF READING 1472-1 F 57 R1. 11/9/37 [1472]'s ltr. to EC: "I have received my 'Reading' and want to express my appreciation of the special delivery stamps which insured my having it when I got home last night. "Since studying it I am all the more appreciative of your generous offer to go through it with me Saturday when I come for my physical reading. While I have no difficulty in understanding its many amazing statements I find myself unable to correlate some of them, and consequently evaluate them in terms of my present life and service. I am sure you will be able to help me with this when we go over it together. "Since you said it would not matter if I did not pay the entire amount of my physical reading when having same, I have the idea I would also greatly like another 'life reading' concentrated on my Palestine incarnation and answering questions which have inevitably arisen in my mind, and which are so vital to me, since having my present account of three incarnations. However, it may be a selfish thought which prompts me to thus consider taking time which you may want to give someone who has had none. However we will talk about it when I see you Saturday, and IF you DO have the time to spare, and IT SEEMS TO YOU ADVISABLE, I may have a check reading on the life business before you leave. "I had dinner last night with my friend [1468]. If I seemed surprised when you told me she had been out for a reading it was merely because it was through me she knew about you, and decided to have the reading and I thought it strange she had not mentioned the appt. She said last night she didn't do so because she wanted to surprise me with it after it was done. She also told me that she was going out to talk it through with you today. "[4170] seems all befuddled over his reading. The phraseology and manner of presentation confuse him. I suggested he call you and ask to talk it over with your son.

systems in the world, to become a great power IF HE MOVES FORWARD. Because he is so desperately pressed for time he is inclined to neglect the spiritual food which he needs for his advancement. Hence my hope that he can somehow arrange to get light on his reading before you leave. "I suggested to a very dear friend - [1479] - that she have a reading, and she tells me she has arranged it for the 17th. I am sure you will find her interesting as she is an inveterate student and Truth seeker. "I will either take the 12:32 train or the 1:07 Saturday. The former is the one I took last Sat.

BACKGROUND OF READING 1472-3 F 57 None. TEXT OF READING 1472-3 F 57 (Writer, Radio Broadcaster, Protestant) This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the David E. Kahn home, 20 Woods Lane, Scarsdale, N.Y., this 18th day of November, 1937, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [1472] new Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [1472]. READING Time of Reading 3:55 to 4:50 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. 1. GC: You will have before you the entity, Mrs. [1472], born ..., who seeks detailed information concerning her Palestine sojourn as Judy, covering her biographical life, work and associations throughout that experience, from the entity's entrance to her departure. You will also give the developing or retarding associations and influences of that plane which bear on the present life, and how they may be best used in the present experience for the entity's highest development and service. You will then answer the questions she will submit, as I ask them, concerning her present life and associations. 2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now called Mrs. [1472]! 3. Here we may give even portions of the records as scribed by the entity called Judy, as the teacher, as the healer, as the prophetess through that experience. 4. Some four and twenty years before the advent of that entity, that soul-entrance into material plane called Jesus, we find Phinehas (?) and Elkatma (?) making those activities among those of the depleted group of the prophets in Mt. Carmel; that begun by Samuel, Elisha, Elijah, Saul, and those during those early experiences.

5. Because of the divisions that had arisen among the peoples into sects, as the Pharisee, the Sadducee and their divisions, there had arisen the Essenes that had cherished not merely the conditions that had come as word of mouth but had kept the records of the periods when individuals had been visited with the supernatural or out of the ordinary experiences; whether in dreams, visions, voices, or what not that had been and were felt by these students of the customs, of the law, of the activities throughout the experiences of this peculiar people the promises and the many ways these had been interpreted by those to whom the preservation of same had been committed. 6. Hence we find Phinehas and the companion, both having received the experience similar to that received by Hannah and Elkanah, had drawn aside from many of the other groups. 7. And then as in answer to that promise, the child - Judy - was born. 8. That the entity was a daughter, rather than being a male, brought some disturbance, some confusion in the minds of many. 9. Yet the life, the experiences of the parents had been such that still - fulfilling their promise - they brought the life of their child, Judy, and dedicated it to the study and the application of self to the study of those things that had been handed down as a part of the EXPERIENCES of those who had received visitations from the unseen, the unknown - or that worshiped as the Divine Spirit moving into the activities of man. 10. Hence we find the entity Judy was brought up in that environment; not of disputations, not of argumentations, but rather as that of rote and writ - as was considered necessary for the development, the influences, the activities of the life, to induce or to bring about those experiences. 11. That much had been to that period as tradition rather than as record, appeared - from the activity of the entity, Judy - to have made a great impression. 12. So there was the setting about to seek means and manners for the preservation, and for the making of records of that which had been handed down as word of mouth, as tradition. Such channels and ways were sought out. And eventually the manner was chosen in which records were being kept in Egypt rather than in Persia, from which much of the tradition arose - of course because of the very indwelling of the peoples in that land. 13. Hence not only the manners of the recording but also the traditions of Egypt, the traditions from India, the conditions and traditions from many of the Persian lands and from many of the borders about same, became a part of the studies and the seeking of the entity Judy early in the attempts to make, keep and preserve such records. 14. The manners of communication being adverse, owing to the political situations that gradually arose due to the Roman influence in the land, made more and more a recluse of the entity in its early periods; until there were those visitations by what ye call the Wise Men of the East - one from Persia, one from India, one from the Egyptian land. 15. These reasoned with the Brethren, but more was sought from the studies of the entity Judy at that experience.

16. Then there was the report by the Wise Men to the king. Has it been thought of, or have you heard it reasoned as to why the Wise Men went to Herod, who was only second or third in authority rather than to the Romans who were ALL authority in the land? 17. Because of Judy; knowing that this would arouse in the heart and mind of this debased ruler - that only sought for the aggrandizement of self - such reactions as to bring to him, this despot, turmoils with those then in authority. 18. Why? There was not the proclamation by the Wise Men, neither by Judy nor the Essenes, that this new king was to replace Rome! It was to replace the Jewish authority in the land! 19. Thus we find, as it would be termed in the present, attention was called or pointed to the activity of the Essenes such that a little later - during those periods of the sojourn of the Child in Egypt because of same - Herod issued the edict for the destruction. 20. This brought to those that were close to the entity those periods that were best described by the entity itself, in the cry of Rachel for her children that were being born into a period of opportunity - yet the destructive forces, by the very edict of this tyrant, made them as naught. 21. Hence during those periods of the ministry of John, and then of Jesus, more and more questioning was brought upon the recorder - or Judy - by the Roman authorities, or the Roman spies, or those who were the directors of those who collected and who registered taxes of those peoples for the Roman collection. 22. Consequently, we find the entity came in contact with the Medes, the Persians, the Indian influence of authority - because of the commercial association as well as the influence that had been upon the world by those activities of Saneid and those that were known during the periods of Brahma and Buddha. 23. These brought to the experience of the entity the weighing of the counsels from the traditions of the Egyptians and of her own kind - and then that new understanding. 24. Hence we find the entity in those periods soon after the Crucifixion not only giving comfort but a better interpretation to the Twelve, to the Holy Women; an understanding as to how Woman was redeemed from a place of obscurity to her place in the activities of the affairs of the race, of the world, of the empire - yea, of the home itself. 25. Those all became a part of the entity's experiences during that portion. 26. Hence we find many have been, many are, the contacts the entity has made and must make in this present experience. 27. For, as then, the evolution of man's experiences is for the individual purpose of becoming more and more acquainted with those activities in the relationships with the fellow man, as an exemplification, as a manifestation of Divine Love - as was shown by the Son of man, Jesus; that EACH and every soul MUST BECOME, MUST BE, the SAVIOR of some soul! to even COMPREHEND the purpose of the entrance of the Son INTO the earth - that man might have the closer walk with, yea the open door to, the very heart of the living God!

28. The entity's activities during the persecutions aroused much in the minds of those that made war again and again upon the followers of the Nazarene, of Jesus, of the Apostles here and there. 29. And the entity, as would be termed, was hounded, yea was persecuted the more and more; yet remaining until what ye would call the sixty-seventh year AFTER the Crucifixion; or until Time itself began to be counted from same. 30. For the records as were borne by the entity, it will be found, were BEGUN by the activities of the entity during what ye would term a period sixty years AFTER the Crucifixion. 31. And then they were reckoned first by the peoples of Carmel, and then by the brethren in Antioch, then a portion of Jerusalem, then to Smyrna, Philadelphia, and those places where these were becoming more active. 32. The entity - though receiving rebuffs, yea even stripes in the body - died a natural death in that experience; at the age then of ninety-one. 33. As to the associations, the lessons that are to be gained in the applications of self from that experience: 34. Many are the urges that arise, as indicated; many are the impulses oft to feel that the very knowledge puts self in a position to condemn. 35. But condemn not, even as He did not condemn. 36. Again there are the inclinations that arise for abilities to present, to correlate, subjects that are truths hidden in tradition, hidden in prejudice of race, hidden in tradition of the patriotic influences that are accredited by the very spirit of a nation of people, or a custom, or a condition that has set itself in order as organizations. 37. But gathering these, do not condemn. For know, there is only ONE SPIRIT that is the Spirit of Truth that has growth within same! For if there is the spirit of strife, or the spirit of any activities that bring about contention or turmoils, it takes hold upon those very fires that ye have so WELL put away; yet that keep giving giving - urges that are spoken of, even as He that ye KNOW, that the prince of this world is as a raging lion, going about seeking whom he may destroy! 38. What is this spirit then of unrest but that very cry, as He gave in that triumphal entry, "If ye did not cry Hosanna, glory to the Lord, the king of kings, the very stones would cry out!" 39. That these overreach themselves, ye have seen in the great white light of thine understanding, of the many VARIED feelings, yea the very varied approaches ye have seen. 40. Does it become any wonder to thee, knowing, feeling that ye have known these experiences, that ye have heard many a voice raised here and there, crying "Lo, here am I - LO, here is the way - LO - Listen!" 41. But rather as those promises, yea as thy very self hath PRONOUNCED, "It is the still small voice within that finds communion with that Spirit that beareth witness that thy interpretation be true," that all the prophets pronounced Him as that star spoken of, as that voice raised in the wilderness, as the star of Jacob, yea of the household of David, yea as of Judah that lion that will bring that as He declared unto the world - "My peace I leave with thee." 42. That ye declared, that hold to!

43. For there IS no other way than that each soul be awakened to that ye did proclaim to the earth, "Behold He cometh with power and might and ye shall know Him as He IS: for He convicts thee of thy purpose among thy fellow men!" 44. Ready for questions. 45. (Q) How close was my association with Jesus in my Palestine sojourn? (A) A portion of the experience the entity was the teacher! How close? So close that the very heart and purposes were proclaimed of those things that were traditions! For the entity sent Him to Persia, to Egypt, yea to India, that there might be completed the more perfect knowledge of the material ways in the activities of Him that became the Way, the Truth! 46. (Q) How can I extend the scope of my writing opportunity to use this ability in more important channels and wider service than at present? (A) As may be gathered from that as given, by putting into first thine own experience, thine own activity, those teachings of Him; not as tenets but as LIVING experiences! So manifesting same in the lives and minds of those whom the self may meet day by day, learning that lesson as He so well manifested, that it was not in the separation as John, not in the running away as Elijah, not as in sitting in high places as Isaiah, not as in that form of Jeremiah - mourning; not in that lording as Moses - but ALL THINGS UNTO ALL MEN! reaching them in their own plane of experience; and not with long-facedness! For as He - He wined, He dined with the rich, He consorted with the poor, He entered the temple on state occasions; yea He slept in the field with the shepherds, yea He walked by the seashore with the throngs, He preached to those in the mount - ALL THINGS; and yet ever ready to present the tenets, the truths, even in those forms of tales, yea parables, yea activities that took hold upon the LIVES OF MEN AND WOMEN in EVERY walk of human experience! So ye will find that the lessons ye gave then may be used today! Why? Because Truth is TRUTH, EVER - in WHATEVER STAGE, in whatever realm of evolution, in WHATEVER realm ye find same; it is as He gave - the little leaven. Think not, even as He, to do some great deed that would make the welkin ring throughout the earth. Rather KNOW it is the little line, the little precept, the little lesson given into the lives and experiences that brings the awareness into the hearts and souls of men and women; that consciousness of the NEARNESS in the still small voice within. For as proclaimed of old, it is not in the thunder or lightning, it is not in the storm, it is not in the loudness - but the still small voice within! So as ye write, so as ye talk, so as ye love - let it be in meekness of spirit, in PURPOSEFULNESS of service, in an activity and an eye single to the GLORY of the Father through those that are His children. For "Who is my mother, my brother, my sister? They that do the will of the Father, the same is my mother, my brother, my sister." What is the will? Love the Lord with all thy heart, thy mind, thy body; thy neighbor as thyself! SOW the seeds of kindness, helpfulness, longsuffering, gentleness, patience, brotherly love; and leave the INCREASE to the Father, who ALONE can give same either in the spirit, the mind OR the body!

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE

Being patient even as He. This is the manner in which ye may reach, O the whole earth, even as ye did - Judy - in thy counsel as given thee by thy father then in the flesh, as ye learned, as ye gathered from the counsel of the lessons from the patriarches of old, by the lessons of tradition that ye first - even as he - set to be in order; yea have heard as of old, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; ye have heard he that does the good, do the good to him; but "I say, he that would smite thee on the right cheek, TURN THOU the other also! He that would sue thee and take away thy cloak, give him thy coat also." Did ye not set these as the very words given by Him who is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings? For to him who hath overcome - and He standeth at the door and knocks and YE, as all His servants, His children, His sisters, His brethren - may be colaborers with Him in the harvest that is ripe. 47. (Q) What is the purpose of my present business position and when will I be freed from it? (A) That ye may reach the more. Each experience, as ye will learn the more and more - as ye see them, just as given - is that ye may serve the better. For how gave He? "He that is greatest among you is servant of all." When shall ye be free from same? When ye have attained, when ye have gained that next step that He may say, "Move on, now; that thy children, those ye have taught, may carry on. Ye are called to the greater service of making known again - by word of mouth or by the pen - the greater lessons of Truth." 48. We are through for the present. REPORTS OF READING 1472-3 F 57 R1. 11/18/37 Immediately following [1472-3], EC related what he felt to be the most beautiful experience he had ever had; said in arriving at the place of records he took a step down out of the record chamber and the Master appeared, took his arm and said, "Brother, I'll walk a piece with you." R2. 11/21/37 See 1151-10, Par. 41-A, 42-A indicating close associations of [1151] and [1472] in the Palestine period. R3. 11/22/37 Letter to GD from [1472]: "Returning last night to the [1151]'s. I read [1151] and [1158] the reading of my Palestine incarnation. They were both tremendously impressed and moved by it, - especially [1151]. In fact it seemed to mean so much to him that that Inner Voice to which I am accustomed to listen (and to which the reading refers) dictated my leaving it with him. I told him that that copy is one you made for Hugh Lynn and asked [1151] to return it to you just as soon as he is through with it. I feel it will be a great help to [1151] to study some parts of this reading as he and I seem to be here for much the same purpose. I hope my procedure in this matter is alright with you. If [1151] doesn't return this copy of the reading before you and the family come in for dinner with me on Friday night, will you be so kind as to ask Hugh Lynn and Mr. Cayce both to read the copy which you have kept for the Association files as there are several points I would like to touch upon when I am able to have a private talk with all of you together, - as will be the case when you are in my own home on Friday evening: "Unless hearing from you or [1158] to the contrary, [1470] and I will pursue the present arrangement to meet you at the [1151]'s Wed. evening.

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE R4. 12/12/37 Letter reporting on her Physical Reading, 1472-2: "Will you ask Hugh Lynn to check the dates on my Palestine reading? It says I was twenty-four years old when Jesus was born and lived for 67 yrs. after the crucifixion, dying at the age of 91. Since Jesus was thirty three, these dates would make me 124 at the time of my death. Or so I figure it. I would appreciate it if Hugh Lynn would check the reading and let me know how HE figures it, or accounts for the discrepancy. In the Palestine reading I am told that I have 'emanated from God-consciousness, ever'. In my talk with Hugh Lynn - God bless him! - he worded his explanation of this statement so beautifully, I would be very grateful to him if he would WRITE it to me, giving me the IMPLICATIONS as well, - as he did when we talked about it. "Now, I must 'sign off' the air, as I am having [1479] and her husband as my guests for dinner this crystal clear Sunday, - same to be around five P.M., - toward which time my clock is fast approaching. You will remember to have given Mrs. [1479] a reading She said a strange thing to me recently, which you may be interested to hear. She said she felt the rdgs. INCLINE ONE TO EGOTISM if same indicate that one has been some important person in the past. She feels that such knowledge inclines one to build the ego, and feel one's self better than one's brother. I was astonished, for the knowledge of who and what I was, and what my activities in my past association with Jesus, did just the reverse to me. My heart almost burst with gratitude that I was privileged to have been His teacher - EVER; gratitude for the bond of love that must have existed between us; humility that it was so, and a terrific hunger to make myself more worthy NOW than I am. And with it all a deepened love for you as the channel through which all this knowledge came to me. Ah, Sweet Child of the living God, - shield the power that has been given you (for the salvation of the world) from expenditure upon the unprepared. For it is the unprepared who are meant by 'the swinish thought that will turn again and rend you'. "Peace to you and your house. "And know that my love envelops both now and always," [1472] "Please pardon messiness of this letter. I have written it without my secretary and I am a bum typist." R5. 1/2/38 [1472]'s letter to HLC: "I am far from well, and desperately tired. Even so there has been much joy in my heart through this Christmas that was never there before because of my present knowledge of my association with Jesus when he was here. "I have thought of you all daily, and with my love goes a prayer that His Face may light the path of 1938 for each of you, - His Face with its effulgent glow! God bless you, and let me hear from you. "Faithfully your fellow-worker" [1472] R6. 1/6/38 See 1468-3, Par. 21-A regarding her associations with [1472] in Palestine. R7. 2/16/38 Letter from [1472] to EC: "Wednesday Night at Home. "Feeling sure such procedure would meet with your approval [1468] showed me your recent Palestine reading when here in my apt. with me last night. As written Gladys this afternoon, I knew when I first met [1468] some three yrs. ago that I had known her before, and there has been an unusual bond between us ever since. I felt the same when I met you, so I am not surprised that I knew you in Palestine, as well as during my Egyptian sojourn. Since your reading says that I was [1468]'s teacher during part of her Palestine sojourn, and that Elizabeth, and Mary, (the Mother of Jesus) also taught her it would be interesting to know if those two women are also on the earth plane now, and if so who they are. Do you know? "You said you wondered just what I taught [1468]. Could it have been other than the truths propounded by Jesus, since it was not until after his ministry that I became [1468]'s teacher? In view of my rdgs. and the knowledge of my own association with Jesus - its close nature - and the fact that my reading says that I spent my life 'in giving better interpretations of His teachings to the Holy Women and the Twelve Disciples' after the crucifixion, along with proclaiming the truths taught by the Master in my writing, surely that was the teaching given [1468] at that time. "I had wondered considerably, however, about my teaching of Jesus himself before his ministry began, and you may be interested in the result of a bit of investigation re. the work of teaching, healing, prophecy and writing in which I was engaged before that, while with the Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE Essenes. At that time the Jews were under a domination of Rome which proved more harassing even than that of Egypt. It was harsh and oppressive. In that atmosphere I lived with the Essenes, being (according to my reading) writer, recorder, teacher, healer and prophetess to that group. Now the slogan of the Essenes was THROUGH PURITY TO DIVINE GLORY. Their aim was the redemption of the people, and their belief that freedom came through mystical power. To this end I was taught from my childhood, you will remember. The procedure of the Essenes included the purification of the body to make it a fit Temple of the living God. They were all devotees of the higher life, and their chief mission was the PREPARATION OF THE POPULAR MIND FOR THE COMING OF JESUS AND HIS TEACHING. That preparation was my work, so I can but conclude that it was on the same spiritual path I set the feet of the little Lord Christ during the years I was privileged to teach Him. Thus prepared Jesus became a concrete illustration in the flesh ('the Word made flesh') of one who had attained the condition of fulfillment on all points depicted in scripture and thus became the most Christed man the world has ever known, - and, of course, the greatest Teacher. That evolution having taken place HE became the TEACHER and I THE STUDENT, - until after the crucifixion when I would seem to have interpreted His teachings for the Disciples, and to others in lands near and far. "All this I have cited because of your comment to [1468] in your letter to her, regarding your wonder as to WHAT I TAUGHT. I know what I taught, but I HAVE A WONDER NEVERTHELESS. That wonder is that I know so much and seem (here) to have the opportunity to do so little. The rdgs. say I shall once more proclaim the same truths I taught then to the whole world, - and I can see the possibility, - but thus far the opportunity seems not to have presented itself, - except in a limited way. "Also I believe growth to be a part of God's Law of Progress and it does not seem to me I am nearly so fine a person here and now as I was then in Palestine, and this puzzles me no end." R8. 2/21/38 Letter from EC to [1472]: "To say thank you for yours of 16th is putting it so mildly, doesn't seem quite enough. But know so few other words that express just that. They will have to do. Was quite the thing for you and Mrs. [1468] to discuss the reading - that was why I sent it. Want all the impression that may have, or the reactions it may bring to those that were evidently so vitally interested at that time - and who have something to do about it at this. As have told you before, had the impression when met you had known you before. Have tried to analyze just the feeling, or rather put it into words before but was like this - when I was a little boy, used to go to my grandmothers, thought she was a very wonderful person. She always had so many unexpected things to tell me, and goodies of every kind that she kept for me, it seemed to me there was no one just like her, - Now do not mean to imply that you appeared as a grandma at all - but that security that her presence brought, that ability to give counsel that was beyond question that was as from the sages - such as a grandmother may impart. Do you get just that shade of meaning I am trying to describe? Well that is how you impressed me - so of course it carried that feeling of both awe and reverence, yet a loving closeness, no other way of expressing it to me would be just what I mean. And when I wondered what you taught Mariaih [Mariarh] [1468], was certainly not as to whether it was truth as propounded by Jesus or not - but as evidently was the teachings of Paul that made me [294] put her away as my wife - but you made it the thing that we should be united again - wonder what you feel when you read Paul along those lines. Guess that would give an insight as to what you must have taught. "Have never had the opportunity to read up on what the Essenes taught. My only physical knowledge of such was a study of the scriptures with a very old Rabbi who claimed to have many books written by the Essenes - tho never saw any of them, he would merely quote from them especially as we read the early part of the gospels, but what you say makes it all the more interesting, but wish could have good long talk with you about all this. Am in hopes we may have the opportunity to get more of the activities in which you must have been engaged during that period, and want to at some time get just the question asked - what did you teach 'Mariarh' [1468] that was so different from what Paul taught. Possibly that is curiosity, but feeling that I can almost grasp it yet can't, prompts me to ask the question. "You do so little? are you not belittling yourself, when the crucifixion was over - what do you suppose Peter ? James and John felt had been accomplished - not much. And about the last admonition given Peter was 'feed my sheep', that you are doing very beautifully, why not leave Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE the increase in the hands of HIM who can only give real increase. Know how you feel tho, for there comes times when others say to me My Oh My, if what you are supposed to be were true how much faster the work would grow and you should never want for a thing - material, mental or spiritual. But what are the physical facts - and am not trying to excuse myself, not even trying to justify myself, just want facts - but facts from HIS way with me, not mine. "Growth - sure must be a part of divine law, but who are we to judge, as to whether this or that is in advance of another experience. It is evident that the man Jesus was Melchesidek - if bible record true - now as one to whom the Jews paid tribute of their own free will because he was the Prince of Peace, and the man Jesus whom they crucified - where was the evolution from the finite mind? "Well [1470] had to make his own choice. Hope he chose wisely and well. Personally feel a tang of disappointment, and know shouldn't, so won't. May God bless him in every way. My feeling of being torn between two ways dissolves itself as try and explain my attitude, hard way perhaps from the physical angle, but right. So why should I ever waver or become fearful? "Hope you are feeling much better physically, and that all is WELL..." R9. 2/25/38 Letter from [1472] to EC: "I am writing you in my office so am warning you in advance in case inevitable interruptions result in incoherencies. I would always prefer writing you at home, but seldom feel fit for personal correspondence after adding fume baths, radioactive appliance treatment and Dr. Miller, - as the case, - or cases, may be - at the end of such days as I put in at the office. "Having thus apologized in advance for possible inadequacies, I may proceed to tell you that I was deeply stirred by your letter. Your analysis of the sort of place into which I slipped in your consciousness when first you met me is most illuminating, and would seem to check with what we know of our Palestine association. If I was who and what my reading says during that sojourn you probably picked your first impression of me (when meeting me in this present experience) out of your memory, being drawn by bonds of love welded two thousand years ago by my understanding of your problem, and my help to you in adjusting a situation messed up by Brother Paul. "I never was keen about that guy! So, I delight in the knowledge that sometime, somewhere I upset his apple cart! In my opinion he was a narrow, bigoted theologian filled with intolerance, - following the LETTER more than the SPIRIT of the teachings of Jesus. I having been so close to Jesus, and (according to my reading on the Palestine incarnation) 'given a better interpretation of His teachings to His disciples and the Holy Women after the crucifixion', I probably disapproved Paul's approach to those teachings then as much as I do now. If so I undoubtedly instructed both you and Mariairh IN THE SPIRIT RATHER THAN IN THE COLD LETTER OF THE LAW, and thus showed you the rightness of your reunion. At least this would seem to be the pattern indicated by our combined readings, and it is certainly most interesting. "You speak of an old Rabbi who claimed to have many books written by the Essenes altho you never saw them. Is he living? And if so do you know where to reach him? I ask because my Palestine reading instructed me to study all I could find of the little still in existence which was written by the Essenes. My first life reading says I was writer as well as prophetess and healer for this group, so some of the things preserved may be translations of my own writing at that time. If so I should certainly like to find them. I went to the library here and found but two things translated into English, and those two were commentaries on the Essenes written by present day writers, and nothing whatever by way of translation of anything written by any member of that group. Hence my question to you regarding your Rabbi. "I do not agree with you that your wanting to know how my teaching differed from that of Paul is 'curiosity.' I would say a perfectly legitimate interest rather. And certainly a natural one since it restored you and my friend [1468] to a normal and happy life. "It is heart-warming to me to know that I have given you a feeling of 'security' in my presence. That comes partially from our Palestine association, and partially from my present recognitions of Spiritual Truth I think. By the latter I mean my concept of life, which includes some realization that man CANNOT be separated from God because HE IS GOD IN EXPRESSION. It is BECAUSE of this recognition that I gave you the Troward book. I think it will give you some

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE interesting illuminations regarding the Bible, and I hope you will wade through it, even though you don't care much for reading. I suggest this, - not dictatorially, but as a friend. "Yes, [1470] had to make his choice. But a week ago last night he married, and already has reverted to the old selfish and self-centered path, - the path he left awhile to walk my way with me. Well, Isaiah tells us (in the name of God:) 'They must all know me, - from the greatest unto the least', so no matter how long, or how far one may wander from the path of Light and Truth and unselfed Love, - SOMEHOW, SOMETIME that one will be brought back to it, and 'a thousand years are but as a day in the sight of God.' So I leave [1470] on the door-step of Divine Love to achieve an evolu tion in which he no longer seems to want my help - at least pro-term. "I am looking forward to Hugh Lynn's arrival and some nice talks with him. Gladys spoke when here - and in her last letter to me - of the possibility of my spending Easter there. I see no way to achieve this at the moment, but who can tell what will evolve before then? Anyway the thought keeps coming into my mind to take my three weeks vacation this year in May (my birthday month) spend a few days in Washington, a day or so in a visit to my home in Virginia, and the rest at Virginia Beach. If I did this I could not come again in June to the Congress, but I had (selfishly) rather be there when you are not deluged with other people, as there would be so many demanding your time at the Congress I would see little of any of you in the intimate way I would want to see and talk with you. "Well, we'll leave all this on the door-step of Divine Love for solution - along with [1470]! "And now I must be getting up to Dr. Miller for my third treatment. I am beginning to see improvement, and am very hopeful of real results. "Deep and abiding love for you, and those of your household..."

R11. 5/29/38 [1472]'s letter to EC from Banff Springs Hotel, Banff, Alberta, Canada: "Here I am in the Canadian Rockies where your letter of May 25th reached me, although I did not stop at the Mount Royal Hotel as intended. It was not a very good one, so I persuaded Mr. Deyell, Manager of the beautiful Banff Springs Hotel to take me in although the hotel does not open to the public until June 4th. From my window I look out across the surging Bow Falls, and the Bow River, across to the snow-capped mountains, and I confess I have never seen anything more beautiful in all Europe, although I must also confess this Continent lacks the GLAMOUR of the old world. Expansive; replete with gorgeous scenery; it yet lacks the CHARM of Switzerland, and the Italian resorts. It is my own idea that it has a different vibration because it is a so much newer country, not yet in the same cultural class as the Continent across the Atlantic. "I wanted very much to go to Switzerland this summer, but could not locate a friend who has been in Paris all winter, and with whom I wanted to go, so decided to see the West of the United States and Canada instead. I had great fun in Hollywood, having many friends there, and your comment re. the writing end of the movie game reminds me to tell you that I was approached about it while in Hollywood, having a very satisfactory talk with the head of the story department of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures. I left the matter in the hands of a very good Hollywood Agent to see if he can put over the sort of contract I feel I must have to give up everything in New York and go to the Coast. I have not heard from him, - but there it is. "In Hollywood I spent about half my time with [2505] [See 2505-1 5/21/41]. He invited me to move into his home, - bag and baggage, but I felt I would be freer to keep a hotel headquarters. However, I did eat most of my lunches and dinners, and spent most of my evenings in his home. I don't know if you are acquainted with his work. He is a metaphysical writer and lecturer who gave five hundred consecutive lectures to capacity audiences in New York two years ago, and who has since bought a home and is living in Hollywood. He does not believe we are here for DEVELOPMENT but for EXPRESSION, and that we will bring into life the fullness of everything in proportion to our RECOGNITION of our oneness with the Father. He believes we should have complete freedom in ample funds; ample expression; ample service, ample everything, and would certainly seem to have brought it into manifestation for himself. He is the very epitome of joy, and surrounds himself with most interesting people. He has written 30 successful metaphysical books, and has traveled all over the earth at will.

He has been a close friend of mine for several years, so it was a joy to have him in Hollywood during the ten days I was there. "While in Hollywood I met a rather remarkable clairvoyant through [2505]. She made some amazing statements to me, among them being that I will marry [1151] during this present earth experience. She described him perfectly and even told me his name. I told her I wouldn't marry again in any conditions and that certainly I couldn't marry [1151] as he already has a wife. I was told that I will nevertheless have the opportunity to become his wife as [1158] will pass on within the year. Since this woman never saw me before; didn't even know my name or that I didn't live in Hollywood, all this was rather remarkable. When next I have a reading from you I shall check several things she told me, - this one about [1151] included. Of course I am fond of him as a friend, but I haven't the SLIGHTEST romantic interest in him. Please say nothing to anyone of all this. I personally think it is 'the bunk', and am interested in it only because the same woman who told it to me described my whole trip West; said I would be tempted to stay in Hollywood (as I was) instead of going on for the rest of my trip, and begged me NOT to stay there, as she said MY HEALTH DEMANDED MY COMING HERE WHERE I WOULD GET AT LEAST SOME OF THE REST I NEED. ALL OF WHICH WAS TRUE. "I have been reading 'The Adept of Gallilee', which claims that Jesus was a great Yogi, and has a lot to say about the Akashic Records. If you get a chance to read it I think it would be of peculiar interest because of your own work... "I read both my life reading [1472-1 & 1472-3] and my Palestine one to [2505] and he is greatly interested in knowing you when he comes East again, which will probably be this Fall. I so want him to have a life reading." R12. 6/7/38 Letter from [1472] to EC: "I am inclosing questions for my new reading. I have asked twenty in the order of their importance to me - or perhaps it might be better say in the matter of their interest to me. Since I WANT A FULL TIME READING ON QUESTIONS ALONE I presume a good many are permissible. If some of them seem repetitious to you it is because I have asked them the second time in a different way to make sure I get a definite answer. In answering all the questions regarding my work in both my other readings I was given a great spiritual impetus and valued it, but what I want most of all is some advice and help as to how to break what seems to be a continuous obstruction to my writing, and now a complete block to my radio work. I am at present doing quantities of routine stuff that any intelligent person could do as well, while my real gifts are folded away in a napkin through no apparent fault of my own. I want to know what steps I can and should take to correct this situation, and I wish very much Hugh Lynn would read my questions before my reading and insert any other he thinks would bring this out, and do it up near the front so as to be sure to get it answered. "You will find some very personal questions, that re [1151] being asked to check what was told me by the California clairvoyant. Of course you will hold them all in confidence I know, so I feel free to ask them, although I don't just like the idea of SUCH A READING going into your files. Has anyone except the family access to such files? "I could have the reading anytime between two and five this Saturday (June 11th) should you have an hour to spare that afternoon. Or anytime at all (morning OR afternoon) the following Saturday (June 18th). If neither of these days are possible to you I will make it possible any other afternoon you say, - just give me enough advance notice so I can arrange to go home for it. I will go to my apartment, ... St., Apt. 111, Hotel ... for the reading. "I am also inclosing a suggestion for the subconscious impression but it is ONLY A SUGGESTION. Reword it as you, Gladys, Mrs. Cayce and Hugh Lynn think best. "I am writing this in my office so cannot take time to answer your letter at this writing. I will do so later. In the meantime thank you for it. I judged from what you said therein [1151] is having a reading Friday (?) I was out there for supper Sunday night, and thought he looked very badly.

"As they had only the one day and night at the fair - was hard for them to get back to the city I judge. But thank you just the same. "Don't know as yet, but think will spend a day or so at the [1602]'s and then will possibly come on to N.Y. for a day and back home that way if so hope to see you even for a moment. "Well just hope the Cadicacy [Candidacy?] doesn't break before Mr. [1151] is ready for it, and if it can come out of the East for a Western man - then he has a chance and believe HE is the man that may save the country just now. "Hope your programme goes over big. Wish could tune in on it. Haven't been able to get it as yet, and possibly can't at that time of day, but just the same am sure you will have a plenty of boosters. "Think the Scouts were delayed - you possibly have heard from them though before this, H.L. is very zealous about his scouts. "Glad to hear from Mrs. [510] - please give her my regards when you see her again. A very lovely lady I think. "Yes - you know I will be glad to try and do anything for you - and had an impression almost immediately - may not be worth a thing but here it is. As one grows more and more spiritual - old forms - old conditions come to the subconscious. And this arises, from the condition of anxiety you had when you knew the edict - had gone out for all male children to be slain, when as 'JUDY' you were so anxious about Jesus. The baby boy. Now it comes in the form of the oppressions - for your doubts. Put it all back on full time faith, and those experiences will soon turn into - things to be done about children of today. Then you will have a real job before you, but one you can do well. "This may be far afield - but is in keeping with that you quote from the LIFE reading. Yet requires study to put such a version on same am sure - But believe that is the basis of the experiences. "Thanks again for everything - appreciate your taking time to write when you are so busy - but your letters help a lot." R16. 8/1/39 Letter from [1472] to EC: "So many thanks for your prompt reply to my last letter. You will be interested to know that I spent a night-o'-dreams (right after you got it) among the most beautiful flowers. I was in gardens many, and saw such rare plants and gorgeous blooms as I never saw with my waking eyes. It was certainly a vivid contrast to my many dreams of children being tortured or brutally treated, and I was sure some release had come through you. Just what or how I still don't know, but not since I wrote you have I had a single night of suffering over children. I mean just what or how you accomplished it, or if you did. I certainly feel you had a lot to do with it, and I only hope the release is permanent. "Psychiatrists would probably say my SHARING the experience with someone close to me broke the thing. They put great store in bringing everything up out of the subconscious mind to the conscious mind, for as long as it stays hidden away, and submerged, it holds one in some sort of bondage. "Your letter swept my mind with a great light as to the possible EXPLANATION. I think you must be absolutely right in the analysis and conclusion you reached. Curious I never connected my Palestine sojourn with this hideous experience about children here. Not even since I've known about Palestine (of course I couldn't be expected to connect it before I had the Reading). I think it would greatly interest you to refresh your memory about that Reading, as my connection with the Wise Men at that time, and with Herod would seem to have incited Herod to the massacre of the children. Or had something to do with it. I wish very much - if you have time you would read what it says about it yourself in my Palestine 'Reading', for - now that you mention Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE it - it does seem to give a clear reason for my present great yearning to help children, and free them from cruelty and injustice. Last summer, in my 'all-question reading, ' I [l472-6, Par. 31-A] asked how I could do it. You might like to look at that answer to that question too - in connection with all the rest of this. The correlation of my Life Reading: Palestine Reading and this one question asked in my 'all question reading' last July would make an interesting and amazing story. [See, also, 1472-12, Par. 37-A, 38-A in re associations with [1602] in Palestine.] "Thank you again and again for quickening my mind to grasp all those close and fascinating relations. Perhaps, as you say, the way may be shown me to really serve the world of children before I leave this experience. If so - nothing could give me more satisfaction and happiness." R17. 8/3/39 Letter from EC to [1472]: "Thanks for yours of the first - and as am trying to get away tomorrow or the next day, will try and write a line or so today. "My Oh My - can I but have such pleasant effect on one so worthy - as to make you dream of flowers and everything beautiful, must go (father devine) and say Happy am I. "Am having some very interesting experiences with Dr.'s who are treating a patient [See 1969- and 1969-2], the Psychiatrist - have worked on - by using Hypnotism they are bringing back experiences given in his life reading, now if this works - well it will possibly be a proof to some of the information regards life readings. "I read over your readings, again in the first LIFE reading [1472-1] - will have to say can't even imagine such knowledge coming from my lips - though know of course full well it is not of my conscious mind. Also the questions about that period. And am more convinced than ever that must be correct - as to your superconscious taking up the experiences of that period when so many were saddened by the experience, and some must have blamed you for inciting the edict. And you must have for the moment at least censured yourself. Do hope that the suggestion as it told you in another place 'being forewarned - you would be forearmed' and thus it will be changed into something more significant as to your development at this time. Let‘s just hope and pray that will be the case - and leave the results to HIM who is able to bring to our 'rememberance all things'. "Hope to get away tomorrow or next day at least think we - Edgar Evans and I will go to Washington, stop and see a friend who has builded a new home - they have asked me to Bless it for them [Louis and Peggy Poss] - and haven't allowed any one to cross the threshold until I do come. Then on to Alexandria Bay - am to meet Mr. [1564] there and stay with them a few days. Then if possible come back by N.Y. if so of course will see you, and will make it on a Saturday or Sunday if possible, so that might have the more time with you. "Thanks for the folder - and announcement of the Broadcast - so you have Mr. [...] with you again. That will be fine and hope before the time is up you have a sponsor, for am sure it will go over big. "Yes - think Tom [Sugrue] is better - he is beginning to do a little work now and is gradually very gradually gaining the use of himself. "Think Gertrude is going to try and go home to see her people while I am away, that will be nice for her, yet - for the first time makes me realize I have no people at home that care to see me. One feels a bit left out as they grow older - but know that is very selfish for don't suppose there are many people that has as many friends as I all over. "Must go now someone has called that is to have a reading this morning." "With love, as always,‖ Edgar R18. See subsequent Ck. Life Readings 1472-6, 1472-10, 1472-11, 1472-12, and 1472-13.

BACKGROUND OF READING 1472-11 F 59 B1. See 1472-10. TEXT OF READING 1472-11 F 59 (Writer, Radio Broadcaster, Protestant) This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 2nd day of September, 1939, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [1472], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [1472]. READING Time of Reading 3:50 to 4:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. 1. GC: You will have before you the entity, [1472], born May 5, 1880, in Bowling Green, Virginia, who is now present in this room. You will give a detail biographical account of her record of the early American incarnation as Clementine, including names and dates connected with her parentage and life before coming to Virginia and her activities in America, interpreting for her the urges from this period especially as they bear on her activities in the present life relating to serving America. You will answer the questions which she submits regarding her associations and activities. 2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [1472]. 3. In giving the biographical sketch, some of the conditions which existed in this new land, - the reasons, the purposes and the intents of the entity's entering the experience, - must be indicated at least. 4. To be sure, much may be had from the general records, but oft very little of a very personal nature is indicated in such.

5. There had been many reports to the entity's family in Sussex, England, as to the happenings, the lives, the conditions which existed in this new land. 6. In the English land, and among the families and associates of the entity, there had been discussions as to religious as well as the political liberties of individuals. 7. Then, there had also been those experiences and the knowledge of where there had been the choosing of many maidens to come to the land to act in the capacity as companions or wives of many of those who had come to this new land. 8. All of these had been a part of the entity's thought, the entity's activities within its own experience. And there was the thought or purpose (as indicated in the experience of the entity in the present) to become independent, and of independent thought, as well as to be active in a manner that would redown [redound?] in the main or general manner to the thoughts, the purposes, the lives, of men, - in the social as well as other activities in many phases and walks of life. 9. Hence the entity determined to come to this land, not knowing how nor in what manner, or under what pretense such might be brought about. Yet we find with the various actions and natures of the groups of peoples from this land, with those of the Boyntons that later were known as the Byrds in this land - America the entity came; taking the place of some of those who had been persuaded - by material ties - not to come. 10. In 1750 (seventeen fifty) the entity came; then settling in those portions of the land that are a part of Surrey County, in Virginia, and the portions that later became known as Williamsburg and Jamestown. 11. All of those activities became a part of the entity's experience. 12. And the entity immediately, or in the course of its activities, began to give expression to that determination, to persuade or dissuade individuals and groups as to the ideas and purposes which had prompted the individual activities. 13. These brought, of course, closer relationships with those in authority during those periods; and those that may be known as the better names in the early history of the Virginian activity were associates and a part of those influences wrought by the entity during the experience. 14. What relationships do these activities bear, then, to the present day? 15. As we find, as the purposes then were for the freedom of activity under the united efforts of both the laboring man and capital, or those of the white shirt as well as the hickory shirt, these become now - as then - an activity to be reckoned with, - and as the entity proclaimed to many in those experiences, they that labored not should not eat - or they that worked not with the purposes to make a united effort in preserving, in the founding of those principles that were stable, in that they were founded upon creative impulse and influence and affluence, rather than upon individual making for power - or might making right. 16. These are the basic principles as have to do with the turmoils and strifes in the land in the present. And thus, as the entity made for a greater united effort by the very associations and activities during those experiences, so may it in its associations, its affiliations and its activities, sow those same seed of Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

constructive, creative, spiritual and mental influence that makes for the bringing of love, temperance, peace, harmony, patience, brotherly love, kindness, mercy in the experiences of those who PRACTISE same in their lives. 17. When journeying to the American land the entity was twenty and two years of age; of the families of Cornwall in England, but known only and ever in the Virginian experience as Clementine. 18. In the activities the entity worked with teaching, ministering, lecturing, bringing material and spiritual - spiritual actions in the affairs of the peoples of the land. 19. Ready for questions. 20. (Q) When, where and what have been my former associations with the entity now known as [1848]? (A) These were of different periods, but their activities in the varied spheres of their sojourns in the Virginian land were known of, and their PURPOSES were similar. Thus, that of a sympathetic relation, and not physical at all. 21. (Q) Am I correct in interpreting the similarity of my astrological sojourns with those of [1848] to indicate the advisability of a present association with him in the interests of the United States? If so, please advise the most effective procedure to obtain this end, and tell me what should be my specific place and part in the work? (A) As we find, as indicated, the astrological aspects show a unison or oneness of purpose. As to the advisability of a physical association or activity, - this would depend upon many of the circumstances as will or may arise within the conditions not only of the individuals but of those determinations of those who are to wield through their giving of choice - the selection of activities. As these have been of one purpose, there should still be - in their various spheres of activity - a oneness of purpose. Then, - if the circumstance, if the bring about those activities in which these may be united as an individual effort, - very well. But in those offices as might have to do with the labor questions, if there becomes the opportunities, would be the channels through which greater UNITED effort may be brought about. 22. (Q) Should I get rid of Virginia [...], my present secretary, and take Helen [...] in her place? Would the change be satisfactory and harmonious? (A) For a period, at least, a great deal more satisfactory and harmonious; and if there is the practising of the principles in the associations, continued so. We would find it advisable. 23. (Q) Have I had any past associations with the entity now known as Dr. Norman Rittenhouse? What is the source (A) This as we find, as heretofore indicated, was a knowledge of and an understanding of the principles as motivated the forces of same, more than the physical associations together. 24. (Q) What is the source of the information, on which he bases his teaching; and is he correct in his statement that I will henceforth be closely associated with [1151] in working out the destiny of America?

(A) These are twofold as to their questioning. Sources? Judge best for thyself. If they measure up to that which is and has been thy ideal, then think on them. We do not find them that you would entertain too much. As to those prognostications, - these as we find will depend upon choices as will be made through the varying circumstances as arise. Remember, there are spiritual laws and there are laws of cause and effect, which are both spiritual and material. The choice is given to individuals, which is of spiritual sources in its essence. As to what individuals do with opportunities, these are the individuals' choice. As to whether these are to lead in the reorganizing or stabilizing of America at this time depends upon MANY of those influences as have here been indicated. 25. (Q) How should I invest the money I have withdrawn from the Young Management Corporation? Would the real estate proposition proposed by my sister be advisable? (A) It's advisable, but rather slow. If there is the desire to take the chances, and to make same grow, invest in those that are of such a nature as to stabilize the security of America. 26. (Q) Aside from the influence of the books which Jacob Boehme wrote when he was on the earth plane 365 years ago, does he in any other way guide and influence my present life? (A) As the spirit that directed or prompted the activities of Jacob Boehme is allowed to be the influence and directing force in the life of self, so does it become a unison of purpose. Principles that influence individuals answer to something within themselves, as prompted by similar activity in material experiences. For, knowledge is made aware in the experience of individuals in a physical plane by material manifestation. That's what sense means. Just as has been indicated, that there were similar promptings in the mind of the entity and in Erichlson, as they acted in a new vibratory force or rate in a new environ. Thus are they brought now, in this experience, in a manner such that their vibrations may bring the abilities - through their mental selves - to choose a paralleled activity, or that which would diverge from some individual circumstance or environ. The same is indicated in the experience of Boehme as with the entity, - or a better illustration for the entity would be: As the experience of the entity or soul as Judy [in Palestine] made its impressions upon the soul here, by the seeking, the longing for the spirit of understanding as to how, in what manner a materialized influence would save man in his reckless use of divine laws, - this was exemplified in that the entity saw in Him. So in the present these are hard at times to stay with, in a material world, and yet the entity may not, cannot erase from itself that die, that cast, that shadow of Him - and the Cross. 27. We are through.

REPORTS OF READING 1472-11 F 59 R1. 3/4/40 Letter to EC: "I was happy to learn through your last ltr. that you and Gladys were O.K. again, and that Gertrude was at least on the road to recovery. I sincerely hope you are all your normal selves ere this. "In saying I do not believe our Creator intends man to be sick I was merely implying that it is our departure at some point from the Laws of Life and Nature which is responsible, and NOT GOD. "I spent most of yesterday (a blustering, rainy Sunday) reviewing my Life Readings and those on the three separate incarnations given. They all check with what I know of the person we call [1472], and as I study them more and more I find them more and more illuminating, and consequently stimulating and helpful in my efforts to gain the Christ Mind, and function in that radiation. "I also went over all the QUESTIONS I have ever asked, - both when having physical readings and the others mentioned above, - and was interested to find in answers to same considerable unreliability. In almost no instance have subsequent events been according to predictions made when the questions were asked. We will take just one concrete example. When I had my reading over the Labor Day weekend on my early American incarnation one of the questions I asked related to a contemplated change in my secretary. I gave the name of the one I had and the name of the one I contemplated getting and asked directly if the change would be advisable. I was told it would be, and made it. I kept the new one two months, and through them found her the most unsatisfactory help I had ever had in my office. I did everything possible to make it work out. In fact she herself told me I had been so sweet to her it made her cry at home to think how inadequate to the job she had been. IF SHE FELT THIS HERSELF I cannot believe it was my fault. "I am telling you about this because it puzzles me. If it were an isolated instance I could dismiss it, but the answers given me to practically all questions dealing with employees; business; professional activities, or daily life have been wrong. "Let's take just one more example: I asked last winter what channels were open for the sale of the feature articles I had written called 'How Would You Explain It?' I was told they were many, but the two best were Forum and Scribners Magazines. I offered the articles to each of these publications, and they were refused. IN FACT THEY WERE THE ONLY TWO WHO SHOWED NO INTEREST IN THEM WHATEVER. "It was the same with my questions regarding a moving picture contract which seemed imminent a year ago last summer right after my visit to Calif. The information said I would be offered a contract; that it would not at first be satisfactory, but would later be offered again with better terms, and that it would open up to me undreamed of expressions and utilizations for my writing abilities. Well, JUST NOTHING AT ALL HAPPENED ABOUT IT. After I left Calif. the interest which was so warm while I was there died down, - I never had the offer of the contract. "As I have heard Mr. Kahn state so often one example after another of accurate information and instruction being given him in business matters I am rather curious over the reverse experience on my part. Do you think the difference lies in different planes of consciousness? In other words: might it be possible that a person in one state of consciousness can ask questions relating to their earthly affairs with impunity, while a person in a different state of consciousness may not? This seems Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

to me possible, but IF it IS so WHY WOULD THE INFORMATION BE GIVEN AT ALL? Why wouldn't it just say the questioner was not allowed to ask that, instead of giving an unreliable answer? "I was struck with the ACCURACY of the readings (when I reviewed them yesterday) when it comes to my spiritual life; my purposes; my character, my aspirations and service, and THE UTTER INACCURACY of them in any and everything relating to the material, physical and earthly life. I should be very much interested in knowing what you think about this? How you might explain it? "Please know that there is not a shadow of CRITICISM in my mind or my heart OF YOU in telling you about this. I know your integrity is 100%, and that you are as anxious as I am to explain any discrepancies in the readings if it is possible to do so. It is my opinion that we still know very little about them, and that greater knowledge and understanding will unfold many things that are now in the dark. "I note from your letter that you may be coming up for a meeting soon. It will certainly be lovely to see you, and I would appreciate your saving time for AT LEAST one dinner, and quiet talk in my little home with me alone. "My love to all the family, and a great deal to you from ..." R2. 3/9/40 Letter from EC: "As always glad to have yours of the 4th - think all but me are still on the improve, possibly it is as should be, but doesn't make me feel any better at least materially. "Practically everyone who has had a Life Reading, and have paid any attention to it at all, tell us of rereading same and of real help and enlightenment they have received from same. "As to the unreliability of information on general subjects, some seem to find it one way some the other. WHY the difference do not know. When there has been an endeavor to have an explanation - seemingly the explanation was very explicit, but when there is the element of MIND of someone else, the more often they seem to get busy - and do their own way that the sources should see such and explain seems practical - but wonder oft times how practical any of us are, much less information of this kind but guess the rule, what is one person's health is another's poison. "No - we know so very little about this work, realize and have realized many a year. I am an almost, ONLY, guess was such a scamp in the experience before this that revert to order too easily - possibly can and will pay up some this time and do better next - can there be a next - for such as I. "Don't know just yet when we will be able to make it up that way, possibly the last of the month or the 1st week of April. Will depend on how I feel I guess, for until am feeling much better, physically as well as mentally, excuse me from meeting others. "Have you seen or heard of the [2156] child? Her sponsor was here yesterday. She must be very, very remarkable. I have an appointment to meet her should I make it to N.Y. - Understand Mr. [1908] has quite a bit of data on her…. "Hope this finds you just fine. "With love from each one here..." R3. 4/14/40 She obtained a Ck. Life Reading in which she asked questions about her daily activities, her mental and spiritual development. See 1472-12. Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

TEXT OF READING 1472-13 F 61 (Writer, Radio Broadcaster, Protestant) This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the home of Mr. David E. Kahn, 20 Woods Lane, Scarsdale, N.Y., this 3rd day of May, 1941, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [1472], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., Virginia Beach, Va. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [1472]. READING Time of Reading 3:10 to 4:00 P. M. Eastern Daylight Savings Time. N.Y. City. 1. GC: You will have before you, here present, the entity [1472], born May 5, 1880, in Bowling Green, Virginia, who seeks detailed information and instruction which will enable her to make her work and her associations more effective and of greater service. Considering the statement made in the Mental and Spiritual Reading [147212] given her at the home of Milton Harrison, April 14th, 1940, that "her activity is a channel, a means, whereby God, the Father, hath insured the carrying forward of His purposes; hath intrusted to her the keeping of the way open that others may be encouraged and shown a way, " you will give her, at this time, a detailed reading as related to this purpose in her activities and associations in all their ramifications, informing and instructing her as to how this purpose can be made applicable to, and practical in her present work and experience. You will then answer all the questions she has submitted, as I ask them. 2. EC: Yes, we have the entity, [1472], ..., and the information which has been indicated through this channel; especially that indicated in the reading of April 14th, 1940. 3. As given, individuals who have represented certain ideals, and who have presented to their fellow man in material associations the application of ideals in keeping with Creative Forces, are endowed with abilities not manifested or apparent in the experience of all. 4. Thus we find that such individuals, as indicated in the experience of this entity, are set or given opportunities in places, in positions, for the awakening and arousing - in the minds and in the experiences of others - the needs for manifesting the Christ-Consciousness in the affairs of each individual day by day. 5. Hence, as was foreseen, there are those periods of turmoil and strife indicated in the land at present, - there are those periods of doubts and fears arising in the consciousness of individuals everywhere. Consequently, there is the greater need for each soul - as for this soul - to be witness bearing in mien and manner, in conversation, in the activities day by day with the fellow man; as to keep alive that hope, that trust, that faith which is so needed in the experience of each entity; that others, too, may take hope, under the stress of material disturbances or under the expressions of fear and doubt that arise in the minds and hearts of many. 6. Thus there are the needs for this entity, in her offices and associations, to take advantage of the opportunities for admonishing peoples - everywhere - as to the needs for the closer adherence to those influences that bring into individuals' experiences the seed of the fruit of the spirit.

7. Though these may appear to many to be only as oft told tales, if they are applied as specific activities day by day, if they become living hopes, living experiences, they are an expression of that awareness which this entity has so oft through the experiences in the earth kept alive in the hearts and minds of the children of men. 8. It is not that there is to be any great act as to cause the unseen influences of a nature that might easily become static in the experience of individuals, - but stress rather that there is to be the expression of patience, and the persistent admonition that each soul put on the whole armor of the Lord, so that all may in their own field of activity of service be as shining lights that may enable those in the field of darkness, doubt or fear, to take hope again. 9. This is the meaning, the interpretation, - this is the practical manner in which the entity may carry on in its relationships with individuals day by day. 10. Ready for questions. 11. (Q) Considering the recent developments for my work in the lecture field, please inform and instruct me as to its purpose and significance; where it is leading; if I should continue to promote it, and if so how I may expand its scope to express and serve the more? (A) This is not merely a channel, but a channel of great opportunity for the entity to be as an emissary, a teacher, an instructor to those in many walks of life, in many phases of consciousness, in many activities in which those very principles, those very tenets that have been indicated are so much needed. As is understood by the entity, the harvest indeed is ready, but the laborers are few. By all means USE this opportunity as a manner, as a means to disseminate those impelling intimations, those impelling influences, - which the entity has the ability to do in such a manner as to be most efficacious in the experiences of individuals. As to where it leads, - this depends much upon the manner in which the entity presents those truths that are subtly expressed; subtle, yet from which there may be positively drawn truths and lessons for the individuals to meet their own problems. For, the answer must ever be personal, individual; and so given in the expressions by the entity that individuals may in their own lives make a practical application of those tenets, those truths, - that the day of the Lord IS at hand, and that even in the hours or periods when fear is as a ruling force, there may be brought the white light of health, help and happiness into the minds of all. Thus, - here a little, there a little, line upon line, precept upon precept, the leaven may leaven the whole lump. This is the purpose, - this is the manner, this is the way that the entity may use these opportunities; as an emissary of the Prince of Peace. For, that sought by all is peace; not as the world gives peace, but this is an activity that must FIRST find expression and root in the heart and mind of each individual, before there can come peace in relationships to others. 12. (Q) Considering my experience and developments; my own talents as well as the needs and opportunities in the radio field, and my service as it relates to same, please inform and instruct me as to whether I should continue my efforts Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE

to return to this work, and if so who would be a suitable and successful Manager for me, and what specific type of program should be offered? (A) This as we find is a means or a channel through which greater numbers of individuals are brought to the knowledge of that message as may be committed to those who seek in any or all channels. Thus, as we find, it is well that the entity continue to endeavor to use this as a channel for expression, and for expressing those ideals that are near and dear to the heart of this entity. As to means or manners, as to agent or channel, - we find that this should come rather as an outcome of that being accomplished, and of that which has been accomplished. Use the regular channels for the approach to same, but as to the message and the lessons, - these are well established in the consciousness, in the awareness of this entity. Hence be not overhasty, but - as we find - by the beginning of the next season, if there is the continued effort, these will find definite channels and means for expression. 13. (Q) Do you mean, by the beginning of another season, the fall? (A) The fall is considered the beginning of the season for radio activity. And, if there is the continued effort, we find that it will be crowned with success - in those beginnings. 14. (Q) When, where and what was my association in former incarnations with the entity now known as Emmet Finley; has the recent renewal of my contact with him here and now any constructive purpose, and if so what is it and how can it best be fulfilled? (A) As we find, there were more than one association with the entity. Particularly through that period as Judy, there were associations in which they were a complement one to the other. On the basis of those experiences should this renewal of acquaintance, of friendship, of associations, of companionship, be kept. In that manner we may find a helpful influence for each. There were also associations in the Palestine period during the return, AND in the early Egyptian we find associations. There are differences indicated from the Egyptian sojourn especially, but - by the choices of each, in their service or activity, they may be complimentary one to the other. 15. (Q) Please give me an account of the former incarnations in which I have known the following people; the type of association I had with them; the purpose of our present relationship, and instruct me as to how we may be of the greatest service and help to each other here and now. First, [...] my son-in-law. (A) Here we find there was an association during that period when, it might be said, there was not a material sojourn; yet a companionship of unity of purpose through activities of individuals so aided by the efforts as to have been a compassionate effort on the part of each entity in that experience - the German through whom much HAS been and was given at that experience. Hence in the present we find the high mental reasoning together, rather than any material associations; but in which the materialization, by material activity of each, may be construed from - or an active principle governing the relationships of each as one to another; as to things, as to conditions.

Again, in the Egyptian sojourn there were active influences in a material way or manner from which differences arose, - so that in the present the expression in the MENTAL is preferable to the material. Thus we find the abilities of each to reason together, without those differences arising as to be of harmful natures one to another. These, then, are the channels, the means, the manners in which the greater continuity of activity may be brought for helpful forces in the experience of each in the present. 16. (Q) [...] my sister. (A) As we find, here were associations that might be said to have been rather by the knowledge of each, - though in different spheres of activity; as, during the Palestine sojourn, the entity here was a constructive influence in creating that background for the activity of individuals, the teacher and admonisher, while the entity who is now the sister was in another field of activity but during the same period. Thus in the present we find what might be called the companionate thought, yet the expression of same far afield one from another. Thus the greater helpfulness comes by what they each stand for, as in the acquaintances and friends. 17. (Q) [...] my secretary. [She has been with me many years, except for a recent leave of absence.] (A) Here we find associations both good and bad; that is, differences that arose in the activities when one was as the judge against the other. Yet a congenial characterization of same in the present may bring compatibility, trust and hope, which is the character of influence that proves to be helpful for each. 18. (Q) Myron Frantz. (A) We do not find associations in the material experience, but rather as what might be termed students of a thought or expression that brings about a congeniality in this present material experience. 19. (Q) Why is my love and concern for my grandson, [...], so much greater than it is for my granddaughter, [...]? [See 1472-6, Par. 26-A.] (A) In those associations with each of these through the Palestine experience, there were those periods in which there was the ability of the one to be self-sufficient, - which brings an indifference; while the seeking for counsel, for help, or for instruction in the other, naturally brings the greater feeling of response. For, it is a universal and a divine law that like begets like. So, in the present experience, while there is loving, - yet in the one it might be truly called loving indifference, while in the other it is love that is truly a creative, growing experience in the activities of each. 20. (Q) How can I be of assistance to my daughter, [...], in furthering her development and fulfillment? [See 1472-6, Par. 25-A.] (A) As there are those barriers which present themselves for expressions in some direct personal manner as respecting the mental and spiritual or soul development as expressed in the entity, - there needs be that expression which might be interpreted even in the manner in which the Master gave to some of his close associates or disciples, "If ye believe me not because of me, believe for the Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

very works' sake." Then, that apply or make practical in thy activities with thy daughter, - not by the physical sustenance or sustaining, though at times it requires just that, but by thy conversation, thy activity, thy dealings with others, yea, with all, - in such measures as to be "for the very works' sake." 21. (Q) Will I finish my life span here and now with a third husband "who will walk the path with me in soul fulfillment" as stated by Bertine Powers in the Akashic reading she gave me? (A) As we find, this will be rather as a matter of choice by the entity. The opportunity, the possibility of such is indicated in the experience. Yet, as to whether or not this is to be the choice of the entity will depend upon much of the entity's OWN activity. 22. (Q) Did I have a German incarnation around 1600 A.D. as stated by Bertine Powers and if so did I know Jacob Boehme at that time and how close was my relationship with him? (A) As we find, and as we have stated heretofore - and as just indicated, during that particular experience the entity was not in a material manifestation; yet was active in the thought, the purpose of those expressions found in the admonitions of Boehme. Thus the appealing influence. There was a closeness that was closer than physical associations; but we do not find material or physical manifestation at that period. 23. (Q) Please give me further information regarding my Grecian incarnation at the time of Pythagoras, the developing or retarding associations and influences of that incarnation which bear on my present life, and how they may be best used in my present experience for my highest development and the service of others? [See 1472-12, Par. 39-A.] (A) As we have indicated, through that particular sojourn in the earth there were those expressions, those fulfillments of activities in which there were set rules, formulas, - as indicated by the messages of Pythagoras that the entity applied in the rhythmic use of the body as well as in the application of the sense forces of the body for expression; that is, the ability of expressing self in the forms in which they become the more activative in the lives and the experiences of individuals. Then, in the present there may be the translating of same into the conditions and experiences that may paint the picture of the activity necessary. Or the entity has the abilities to give expression of the characteristics, or to paint them in such words as may find lodgment in the consciousnesses of others in such measures and ways as to wield a continued influence upon the mien and manner of individuals. Thus the entity may use such abilities, such associations, in interpreting those tenets and truths of that teacher during that period, that activity of self through same, in ways and means as to be more efficient in every form of its meeting with, as well as its ministration with, activities of individuals in this present experience. 24. (Q) Can I best serve the Forces of Light in present world conditions by continuing in my present position and activities, or should I retire from public life and devote myself to writing?

(A) There are greater opportunities in the present position for reaching the greater number, making the greater preparation for a service a little later. Do not change for at least another year, or year and a half to two to three years - as has been indicated. 25. We are through for the present. REPORTS OF READING 1472-13 F 61 R1. 10/41 She referred Mrs. [2603] and Miss [2618] for Life Readings. R2. 1/7/42 [1472]'s letter to EC: Dear Edgar: I will now try to supplement my Saturday's letter to you. After writing such a long letter to my daughter [...] that morning I did not have much further time, so I had to just write a brief note to you in inclosing the copy I wanted you to see. Of course I knew then, and know now, I could trust you to treat the matter confidentially. [...] has two beautiful children, [...], aged 11 and [...] (my namesake) aged 7. As you saw them the day I had my last reading at the Kahn's you know something of their physical appearance, but you had no opportunity to estimate their dispositions. Unfortunately [...] is terribly jealous of his sister, and never has anything but faultfinding for her. In retaliation she fights back, so that the atmosphere of the home is one of continuous contention. Unfortunately, [...], the father, shows a decided partiality for [...]; pets and praises her a lot, while he finds a great deal of fault with [...], - all of which only aggravates the jealousy of [...] for his sister. It is all too bad, and seems to me so unnecessary as I am convinced [...] would be very different if handled differently. He is a very highstrung, sensitive little fellow with a brilliant mind, but a defeatist attitude toward life because he feels defeated in his home relationships. Well, [...] has not answered my letter. I never meddle in her affairs and it was difficult to make even a suggestion, but I feel so keenly for [...] in the situation I felt I must try to help. As you say, and as I have known right along, having a Life Reading for him will do no good unless [...] will follow the suggestions given, and, since she does not believe in the readings, I doubt if I have accomplished anything except her possible resentment. In any event, I could but try. You may remember that I have asked several questions in my own readings as to how I can best help, and have always been told I can do little in the situation. Thank you for returning the copy of my letter to [...] so promptly. It came, with your note, yesterday, and greeted me when I got home from the office. [1743] had lunch with me last week and showed me a lovely letter he had from Mrs. [2174]. He did her natal horoscope and she was greatly pleased with it, for which I was very glad as I was responsible for her having it done, and thus felt some degree of responsibility. I wrote her after my lunch with [1743] to confirm the date I have on the 20th to do my illustrated lecture for her school, and told her how delighted I am that she found the horoscope interesting and helpful. In her letter to [...] she invited him to come out for dinner and a talk with her. If, and when, he goes I am sure they will both get a great deal out of the evening in discussing her horoscope, as he can then embellish points in which she is especially interested. I like Mrs. [2174] so much I hope she will give me the opportunity to see something of her as time goes on. Everyone, - including myself, - is so busy with extra work for defense that none of us have much time for social contacts. I am beginning a Red Cross course in First Aid next Monday, and this will take two evenings a week, and a lot of studying in between, until it is finished. However, I do not look upon contacts such as that with any of us who have been associated in Palestine, or other important incarnations, as merely social, for I feel this group has been brought together by you for definite and specific work in reconstruction after the war. I think we should now be doing something about it, but do not know just how to achieve it. I wrote the [1100]'s about my experience in buying the house at Virginia Beach, and about what I vision as the work of our particular group, and I would like you to see a couple of letters I had from [1100] about it. I am inclosing them. Read them IN THE ORDER THEY ARE ATTACHED, and when through just

I am glad you are all well, and know both you and Gertrude enjoyed having Edgar Evans home for Christmas. My love to all members of your household, and write me again when you have time. Devotedly, P.S. I did not SEE Mrs. [1663] when she was here. She merely PHONED me to tell me about the readings for her grandson and Mrs. [2174]'s grandson, and mailed me both readings after her telephone conversation. I too think her a fine person. I have never met the Dr. [her husband]. R3. 1/9/42 EC's letter to [1472]: Dear [1472] Had quite a dream about you last night or this morning. Don't quite know whether it was caused by the reading of your letter of the 7th or those enclosed in same but think it is worth repeating and here it is;You were living in your home here at the Beach, (remember I have never been in the house) and I came in to see you, came through a living room to a side room where you were sitting by a large desk working, you seemed to have been writing something, and were reading it over making corrections with a pen, had on glasses with a long black cord on them, there was a metal clasp on same and you as you spoke to me was slipping that clasp up and down, as came through the living room saw three men sitting there, they looked very unusual to me so I asked you who were your friends waiting in the front room - you said is there any one there, I said yes there are three men waiting there - and they look a bit queer to me. So we both came back to the room, each of them arose, one was quite an elderly man with long white beard, he was dressed in a long flowing robe, and spoke first, said Mrs. [1472], you said yes what is it - he answered I am Simeon, I was your Sec, as "Judy" and have brought you my report on the record you gave me to get on the early life of the parents of Jesus, or of Joseph, and Mary the maiden the Mother of Jesus, later the wife of Joseph. He held in his hands which we had not seen before, a large scroll, which he began to unroll. When the second man spoke he said I am Naid, whom you commissioned to get the early life of Jesus in Persia and India and have it here - his was a large flat book which we had noted he had sitting by him on the floor - he was dressed in very funny shoes that turned up at toe and were very pointed, long socks short velvet trousers and full bodice with lots of ruffles and close skull cap which he had not removed - was youngish and very piercing black eyes. He picked up the book and started to present it when the third man spoke, he was all a soldier, rather a deep voice, lots of trapping on his dress, he said I am Teka whom you told to get the happenings at the Cross when Jesus was Crucified, he had a great ball of some sort and began to unroll. You said wait - this is my friend Edgar, they all spoke and said yes, we came with him. I said but you were here when I came in, do not remember seeing any of you before. O said they all - we forgotten you haven't seen us but we have been with you often. Then I awoke - what would you make of that, never had any thing just like that before. Yes you have given Mrs. [...] [her daughter] an opportunity - there you will have to leave it am thinking. Am anxious to hear whether Mr. [1743] is considering coming this way - had he been here last week could have given him a case here that would have helped him carry on - a case from N.Y. that wanted to stay here. He is in FL at present. Hope you have a very fine evening at the school and a most pleasant visit with Mrs. [2174]. You are taking on lots of work - but so must we all, will the job that needs to be done in a hurry be done - yet can't be finished off in a hurry. Think heard H.L. say your house was rented think he did it - as Mrs. Milholland has been with a sister who is very ill, but am sure you have the details before this. Write me real soon - and tell me what you make of the vision or dream. Funny wasn't it but I do have funny dreams or experiences while sleep, but felt had to tell you about this. Thanks for the letters - [1100] and [470] are such dear people love them as if they were my very own, feel at times as if they were. What comes of her [1100] being my daughter in Egypt.

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE

R4. 1/15/42 [1472]'s letter to EC: Dear Edgar: I was quite fascinated by your account of your dream, and rather think I can trace its source. The night you were in my apartment here I told you that I have wanted for some years to write a book on the boyhood of Jesus, calling it The Young Nazarene. You will remember our discussion of it and your offer to get as much information for me as may be obtained through the "Readings". My idea has always been to use what knowledge I have, or can obtain, as a basis and embellish it with my own impressions which are sometimes very keen, and often very beautiful. It is my own belief that these impressions are fleeting memories of my association with Jesus in His childhood, boyhood and young manhood as given me both in my "Life Reading" and in my "Palestine Reading". I am also of the opinion that they will increase and become clearer when I can lead a less hectic life than the one I now lead in New York, and it would seem to me that the house I have bought down there, and which you visited in your dream, is the ideal place for the cultivation of such memories, and such writing as the book mentioned, and others of similar character perhaps. Considering the above, - now take the information given me in my "Palestine Reading". I am told there that the Wise Men of the East who came to offer gold, frankincense and myrrh to the infant Jesus "sought out Judy and her teachings", and spent much time in their consultations with me. I therefore believe you transcended time in finding yourself in my house down there, visiting me actually when I shall be there and either finding there, or bringing along with you, helpers for the book I discussed with you here. Simeon, who told you (or me) he was my secretary when I was in Palestine would be the normal one to find the records of the early life of Jesus and His parents. I think perhaps Naid was the Wise Man from Persia, who consulted me in Palestine (according to my "Reading") and who would now be able to get for me the records of the study Jesus did in Persia and India. Remember that my "Palestine Reading" says I SENT JESUS TO THESE COUNTRIES TO STUDY. The long pointed shoes would be typical of Persia. Also it will interest you to recall that the Wise Man from Persia who consulted me, and studied my teachings in Palestine (again according to my "Reading" on that period) is now [1908]. I think this is why the present Irishman called [1908] is willing to listen to me and take counsel of me when he listens to no one else, and thinks he knows more than any and everybody else. I do not PLACE TEKA, but he doubtless was also associated with me in that Palestine period, and would help in giving material for the book I have in mind. I feel the dream came to you because of your interest in all I told you about wanting to write this book, and as an assurance that we will be assisted when the times comes to do it. R5. Subsequently she obtained three Physical Readings - See 1472-14, -15, and -16. R6. 8/3/42 She referred young Mr. [2795] for a Life Reading. See 2795-1 indicating that he was [1472]'s son in the Palestine incarnation. R7. 8/14/42 [1472]'s letter to GD: Gladys dear: Learning about the shower given you for your new home brought me my first knowledge that you have made the move. Or have you? I am merely ASSUMING it, but hope it HAS BEEN accomplished and that you will be very happy in it. Not knowing just what you most need in thus starting housekeeping I am inclosing a check to be used for some little gift from me, - either for the house, or for you, personally. It was very thoughtful of you, dear Child, to make a copy of [2795]'s "Life Reading" [see 2795-1] for me. You must have received my thought in the matter, for I kept wishing I had asked it, that I might have a better opportunity to STUDY it, and help him get the most out of it.

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE And you may believe me that it handed me quite a shock! I anticipated that the boy would have a most unusual "Reading", but I certainly did NOT anticipate that he would be told HE WAS MY SON in Palestine, or that RA TA'S MANTLE FELL ON HIM IN EGYPT. As I am leaving to-night for my vacation with my little family who are at Seneca lake, I am very crowded for time to-day. I am not taking my typewriter with me in the hope that being without one will remove any temptation to write long letters when I should be relaxing and resting. In these circumstances I am sure you will not mind my including in this letter to you some things I want to also say to Hugh Lynn and Edgar, and have them also answer. As you will be equally interested I feel I may do this. Especially as it all pertains to the [2795] "Reading". First of all I would like the opinion of each of you re. my having HAD a son in my Palestine experience, since neither MY "Life Reading" nor MY full "Reading" on the Palestine incarnation mentioned my having been married or having had a child. This from MY standpoint. In helping [2795] interpret his "Reading" last night (he phoned me and came down from Bridgeport for the purpose) there were questions he asked which I could not answer. After having heard this "Reading" of his you don't need ME to tell you how IMPORTANT it is that he be straight in his own mind about everything in it. I am therefore asking ALL of you to give certain features of it careful study and help me in the interpretation of points of which I, myself, am no more certain than [2795] is. Since I mentioned the Palestine incarnation first, I'll mention first the things that puzzle both [2795] and me in the information about it (brief as it is). 1st: Just what would you all think is MEANT by [2795] having been a "nonentity" at that time? Webster gives two definitions of the word, - one being a thing that is non-existent, or existent only in the imagination, and second, a thing of no account. Since he COULDN'T have been "non-existent", it MUST mean that he was no account, which does not seem consistent with the statement in the same paragraph that he "gained much" in that experience. IF I was the character represented in my "Readings" for the Palestine period, wouldn't it seem rather strange that my son would be "paralyzed from physical fear"? Would you think HE was the subject of persecutions, or that he merely witnessed the massacre of the children? There are historians, as well as occultists, who insist there was no massacre of children by Herod, but I do not accept this because THE BIBLE says otherwise. So much for the Palestine data, - at least from [2795]'s standpoint. FROM MY OWN: it is difficult to understand why no mention whatever should have been made of a marriage, or of my having had a son during my Palestine incarnation, either in my "Life Reading", or that on Palestine alone. I'd like to know what you all think about this? 2nd: As Edgar is such a fine bible student, maybe he can figure out the identity of the King in [2795]'s Persian and Chaldean experience. [Handwritten marginalia: Cyrus it was.] [...] believes it was SOLOMON. Now wouldn't that be "sumpin'"? He has a partial memory of this incarnation, as well as the Atlantean one in which he built planes etc. (2795-1, Par. 25). He has also had some tremendously interesting dreams about research work on the King Solomon period. As the "Reading" says "the activity of the entity is recorded not only in Holy Writ but in the history of that particular period" it is tantalizing that [2795] was not given THE NAME of the King he then was. Otherwise he cannot investigate the references at all. HE THINKS he was SOLOMON, and it seems to me (from what the "Reading" does say) it may be true, but we would greatly like to be certain if possible. I believe Edgar can check the "Reading" with biblical history on the Solomon period, and perhaps get some light on the identity of [2795], as the King in this Persian and Chaldean incarnation. 3rd: As Ra Ta's mantle fell on [2795] in his Egyptian incarnation may this young man be, perhaps, the one who is to carry on Edgar Cayce's work here, both before and after Edgar passes on to the next room of Experience? There is no question of [2795]'s psychic faculty, and none, I believe, of a great fund of knowledge which he BROUGHT WITH HIM into the present life. When going over his "Life Reading" last night and I came to his Egyptian incarnation and was told that he took over Ra Ta's work as a spiritual leader when Ra Ta died at that time, it came to me like an electric flash that here perhaps is the boy I understand Edgar has been told lives in New York, and who is to again take over his work when he (Edgar) finishes this present life. I am sure this will excite ALL of you as much as the idea does me. I may be quite wrong, of course. [2795] will have a long way to go before he has Edgar's spiritual stature, but then he is only twenty-eight, and has a wide-open mind, and a constructive purpose in all things. I will be most appreciative if Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE both Hugh Lynn and Edgar will write me what they think of all this, as each of them has given it thought I am sure. I'd also like knowing what YOU think of it. 4th: Of course the first mentioned Atlantean incarnation checks perfectly with [2795]'s present work. This is the incarnation he partially remembers. Before he got the "Reading" he knew he destroyed the Atlantean city of Poseidia. Or rather the forces he controlled got out of hand and did so. He has done a tremendous amount of research work on Atlantis, and the city of Poseidia is a historical fact, if we can believe in all the literature regarding Atlantis. In the incarnation under discussion is it your consensus of opinion that the reference to the "sons of Belial" means the forces of darkness, or would you take "Belial" to be an actual person? MY interpretation is that it is used as a symbol of what we call the Devil, - or forces of darkness. 5th: Both [2795] and I would like Hugh Lynn to study the answer to the question about Edith Ellis and give us his interpretation of it. From the answer neither of us is sure whether or not it is wise for him to continue to work with her Society for Ethical Research in their effort to develop an instrument for inter-planetary communication. Neither do we understand how this association and work could "tempt thine own self to thine own undoing, " (meaning [2795], of course) when he is TOLD to continue the study through this channel. Or so we interpret the instruction. From his "Reading" all of you will already know you are dealing with a channel for the release of great power into the world. As I seem to have been the one called to guide him on his way, and keep his feet in the straight path, I WILL BE GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE HELP ALL OF YOU CAN GIVE ME. From a PERSONAL standpoint I am not drawn very strongly to [2795], I mean EMOTIONALLY. This is another curious thing to me if he was my son in Palestine. He is extremely difficult to handle because his very superior knowledge, and understanding, makes him self-opinionated and quite obstinate. At the same time he is extremely universal in his concepts and his attitude toward life. But, - doggone the boy! - he does make the most arbitrary statements at times, and when asked an explanation shuts up like a clam. Which is indicative of his youth, of course. He will learn greater wisdom as he matures, but, - believe you me, - he has no knowledge of the meaning of the word HUMILITY. NONE of this comment is CRITICAL, dear Gladys. I am just trying to give all of you A LITTLE UNDERSTANDING of my problem in helping him, because I need the help of all of you in it. I can't get away from the inner feeling that I have been GIVEN THE JOB and that I must not shirk it, - as much as I'd like to at times when [2795] becomes so difficult. This is a long letter, and I must now stop it. Address me UNTIL THE 26TH: C% Mrs. [...], ..., Seneca County, New York. R.D. #1. Do not send any mail there after the 26th as I will be leaving to return to New York on the 29th. My love to you, and to all the Cayces. Devotedly your friend [1472] R8. 8/24/42 HLC's letter to [1472]: Virginia Beach, Va. Dear [1472]First a little bit about your house. Since the first of August it has rained daily and grass, trees and flowers are rejuvenated in Virginia Beach. Mrs. M. and I went out this morning to look over the place, checking on the painting, the roof, etc. The roof is a heavy composition shingle and doesn't not seem to have been painted, in fact I don't know whether you paint such roof shingles or not. Mrs. M. is to find out and check with you. I am sure the painter did not include the roof. The yard and grounds looked much better than when you saw it. The hedge was neatly clipped, the lawn mowed and apparently work has been done on the flower beds. I still think you had a nice idea in buying it, and in so many ways it is what you wanted. Evidently other people think so too. A real estate agent, Mr. Lyle, phoned me Saturday about the house. He had someone to whom he wished to show it. I called Mrs. O'Neill and arranged for this. Lyle said he couldn't go over $9,200, and of course as yet is not a bonafide offer. I told him that if the people liked the house to have them make an offer on it. If an offer is made they would go to $9,500 at least. I'll keep you advised of developments. There will probably be nibbles before any real bites.

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE Gladys showed me your letter containing questions about [2795]'s reading. I have just finished going over this. Evidently, putting it mildly, he is a most unusual person. Good old Atlantis. The answer to the [Edith] Ellis question is consistent with all the advice given in Life Readings. My angle on it would be this. It helps sometimes to remember that everything in a reading works backwards. Begin at the end of the answer and work back. Through the work with Ellis, [2795] may secure knowledge - yes - but first he needs understanding (spiritual), then knowledge gained through the Ellis group as well as from intuitive forces (within himself of course) may be given more abundantly. In seeking through any channel (whether self or others) an individual attracts that which he is ready for - thus [2795], unless he seeks understanding, first may draw through the Ellis group information which may prove of no practical value. As you well know fantastic is hardly the word for some information poured out in many such spiritualist groups. Yes, continue with Ellis, but seek first a grounding of the spiritual laws that govern the relations existing between God and man and man and fellowmen. They are so simple that people try to make them complex - you know them through His teachings. As your son in Palestine, my guess would be an unborn son affected by the persecutions, and I can think of a half dozen good reasons why it wasn't given in your reading. All of them involve some discussion of ideas that would take up several fat letters. I'll hold them but not forget. Dad and Gladys will be able to give you details on your other questions. My guess, without exhaustive study, would be Cyrus, The Great Persian King who released the Jews for the specific purpose of returning to rebuild the Temple. The original plans of Solomon's temple were probably discussed with Cyrus at this time (538 B.C. about). The young man we look for in connection with Dad's work has been given a name and an incarnation which would identify him [See 137-123, Par. 17-A--20-A]. [2795] seems to be tied in pretty closely, but it would seem more with the practical release of the masses (development of power) rather than with the spiritual message. This too is without careful study. The Egyptian incarnation is most interesting and I look forward to meeting the gentleman. The Atlantean incarnations are always exciting. We have many readings on Atlantis and its marvels that he should study - when he is ready for them. You need to prepare him to understand and use them. Some of these readings I speak of, I have never spoken of before to you, details of the massive crystals used to generate power. It is so easy to confuse the Atlantean urges and history for the time element is so long with many incarnational urges. Dad has been away for a week. Reason you have not heard from him. We expect him tomorrow. Sally is fine. We both grow anxious (delightfully so) [expecting their first baby] day by day. Love from all, - h.l. R9. 9/5/42 EC's letter to [1472]: Dearest [1472] Had intended writing you a thank you note for sending the [Raymond McDermott horoscope] reading of [470]. Didn't know I was supposed to write you about [2795] reading, thought H. L. had cleared all that up for you. but very glad to have a line from you. Am sorry to hear you didn't get a rest on your vacation, guess you and I should have just sneaked off somewhere where we could have confabbed together and gotten some rest, but seems the hurried trip I took really did me good, have really felt much better since came back though certainly was on the go every moment of the time was away - but sat on the train most of the time and that possibly gave me a rest, just meeting a crowd and talking with whom I choose and letting that pass when didn't care to talk - well had really some very unusual experiences maybe that helped also then the little visit with my folks in Tenn and Ky that helped also so for me my trip helped - was in Texas on a little matter of business - just to make peace with some folks, seemed to help so that is that. [470]'s [horoscope] reading is quite interesting in many ways to me - just wonder if he had heard the reading of [470] that we gave - if not then it is all the more amazing they should be so much alike - yes he seems averse to psychics - and possibly to me in particular - but have heard some where "he that don't make enemies, isn't worth his salt" or something similar Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE however have no hard feelings toward him, wish I knew as much as he seems to know, but if did possibly wouldn't have as many friends as think I have. My thoughts, [1472], on Mr. [2795] reading [see 2795-1] possibly doesn't fit - but it is like this - as regards the Palestine experience - as a comparison of your self he was a nonentity - his fear was not of Jesus - but the attitude Judaism took to his teaching - not being sure in himself. Possibly that doesn't fit the wording of the reading - but is the sense I get out of reading same. And from that experience - today, he is fearful of missing something - so is holding on to many ideas, with possibly not fully decided in any. Do you get what I mean? And Yes, think he was either Cyrus of one of the Kings after Old Neb. who made it possible for the ones of every land to return to the worship of their own God in their own land. 3rd - Why not carry on the work here - should he from his association find something here as answers to that higher self, then why should he not be the one - as just what his reaction will be or has been to what he has seen or experienced thus far - he himself can possibly better answer that than anyone else. Feel sure who ever carries on if any one, it must be from an honest conviction from within. From whence they will come have no idea but if it is God's work it will be carried on, if it isn't - then it has no place in the affairs of man. 3rd Think it is interesting that the Atlantean checks with his own feeling in the matter - so possible will find some link to cause him to check further within his own self - for the Divine Law must ever take its course - It Must Answer to something within - for the Law is - My Spirit Beareth witness With Thy Spirit 5 - Am not asked to answer here - but fool like here I go and is only an opinion - to me is my own activity - Study if so desired yes - ever with the thought - not to be possessed by an entity - that may speak through some such channels. Or is that just a crazy idea of mine - all of us are crazy on some subject to be sure, or are to others at least. Well - some where some how he must learn HUMILITY - also tho he may have knowledge, not to use same for self indulgence - or as Jesus used His Power. Do not know that it has ever given who was H.L. wife in Egypt - was of the opinion however - Mrs. Strickland [see 2795-1, Par. 46-A] was at another period altogether. H.L. can give you the data so far on that. Haven't it here just now. Glad to hear Dr. [2067] seems better coordinating - she is fine but gets very much disturbed at personalities at times, and the moment is the only thing as can be seen, or seems so to me. Possibly I misjudge if that be judgement. Gave you my opinion of the reading from Mr. McDermott - wish had his knowledge, but might use it just as selfishly - possibly is best that am just a know nothing. This I do know - Of myself can do nothing - only as HIS spirit may work in and through me - some to be sure then say all I do is of the DEVIL - maybe so - it is just as true - "BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM" Hope I may never hinder any of you from gaining the best there is and if Mr. Mc- has it more power to him - I only hope to know Jesus the Christ and Him Crucified - and to make HIM known is my hope and purpose if I know anything at all. Keeping fearfully busy - haven't as many orders for the special edition as hoped to have have you any suggestions. Am sure notice was sent at bad time for many - but closes now in ten days and will have to hurry. Gertrude is in Ky for a week or so - H.L. and Sally are here all pretty fair. Thanks for every thing With love [signed] Edgar Cayce R10. 11/19/42 [1472]'s letter to HLC: Dear Hugh Lynn: Thanks for your nice letter. It surely would be a happier world if everybody was sufficiently thoughtful to express approval of others. It certainly warmed the cockles of my heart to have you write me that I am a "nice person". Of course I should not get TOO COCKY over it, knowing you are probably seeing everything out of rose-colored specks at the moment! But I'll just forget that and believe what you wrote, - because I WANT TO BELIEVE IT. I am delighted that Sally liked the little bed-jacket. It should add a bit of comfort to these cool mornings and evenings. Or so I thought in sending it.

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE I am inclosing a correspondence I have recently had with Flower Newhouse regarding Edgar's work. About a year ago she wrote me a letter saying the "Readings" we bad for people because they make those getting them think too much of themselves, giving them a false sense of values. I paid very little attention to it at the time, but after thinking it over some months, and realizing that Flower had seen both my "Life" and Palestine "Readings" I came to the conclusion her comment was aimed especially at me. Wanting to be sure just what WAS IN HER MIND I wrote and asked if she felt my "Readings" had inflated my ego, and made me think myself of greater importance than I am. I do not have a copy of this first letter containing this question, but am sending her reply to it (date Sep. 9th) and my reply to that, and a subsequent letter received last week. If you will read the correspondence in chronological order it will explain itself. Please return it when through with it. If you think it will BE OF ANY VALUE to show it to Edgar, do so. But if it will only disturb him, do not. I leave this to your judgement of a possible value to him in knowing about it. But IF you DO show it to him let him see this letter also that he may know how it all began. R11. 10/22/42 HLC's letter to [1472]: Dear [1472]Thank you for your letter of October 19. I appreciate your sending me the correspondence with Flower Newhouse. I think your explanation of the Life Readings and the points you make are excellent. Her criticism of Life Readings is a natural one and arises from lack of thorough knowledge of the Life Readings. To someone like yourself who has read and talked for years about knowing too much of reincarnation, such comments as she makes are understandable. The basic concepts presented by the Life Readings are in direct opposition to this point of view and you have pointed this out most admirably. This correspondence makes me more conscious of the fact that we do need clearer and more thorough explanations of the Life Readings and more carefully worked out suggestions for their best use by individuals who receive them. Tom Sugrue is walking on crutches and is coming North from Florida to be in Washington for a few weeks shortly after November 1. I am going up there to discuss the trade edition of the book with him and will probably come on to New York from Washington. My trip will depend somewhat on his arrival in Washington and I will write you more details just as soon as I am able to make definite plans. I am very sorry to learn of the trouble with your throat [See 1472-16 Reports]. I hope this has cleared up by now. Sally and the baby are both getting along just fine. Sally is slowly regaining her strength and the baby is eating and sleeping beautifully. I am returning the correspondence without showing it to Dad. I hate not having him see just what you think about the readings but I think he knows this already and the other would perhaps only disturb him. With love, Hugh Lynn Cayce [/rt] R12. 11/14/42 She referred Mr. [2850] for a Life Reading. R13. 12/15/42 She referred Mrs. [2880] for a Life Reading. R14. 12/30/42 Mrs. [1472]' letter: Dear Edgar: I spent last evening helping [2880] [see 2880-1] work out the questions for her "Life Reading" on the 12th. As she does not have a bank account separate from that of her husband she gave me the $20: for her "Reading" asking that I send you my check for same. You will find both her questions and the check inclosed herein. Also a little note of her own which she asked that I also inclose. Mrs. [2880]'s questions will indicate to you her interests and state of development. Her family is a remarkable one. Her husband is a composer and musician who plays in [...]'s Orchestra. Her eighteen year old son, [2850], is also a highly artistic lad with such psychic abilities as need to be carefully guarded.

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE control by discarnate entities as to have been seriously affected in the matter of her health. She feels she NOW KNOWS ENOUGH to protect herself from negative forces. Hence her questions regarding the cultivation of her psychic powers. I think she would STILL do well to keep them shut off. However, we will see what the "Information" has to say about it. You will note her questions about me. She has a CONTINUOUS vision of me standing on a stone rampart in some Eastern land. She feels that I was a person of great importance and that she was perhaps my slave, or servitor of some sort, as my head is covered in the vision and hers is not. She says, however, she has the sense of a loving understanding between us. She always sees me standing gazing out over what seems to be desert land, while she is always walking toward me to join me in my vigil. She has asked an interpretation of the vision, as it interests us both very much, - especially as IT KEEPS RECURRING. Mrs. [2880] is a highly evolved soul, I am sure, and has the most profound knowledge and most spiritual interpretation of astrology of anyone I know. Her husband's hours of playing in his orchestra are so erratic that her home life cannot seem to be sufficiently organized to enable her to give the proper time to her astrological work, and this disturbs her very much, as she is completely absorbed in the subject and feels she should be teaching it to others, and helping others utilize the knowledge. Well, this is enough about the [2880]'s. I loaned [2880] my copy of "There Is A River" last night as she is so eager to read it before you come up for the meeting on the 20th, and could not afford $5. for a copy of the special edition. I had just about finished it, so let her borrow it, as I know she will take good care of it and return it, - which is something people seldom do with books. Yes: I can now give you a more intelligent opinion of the book. I think Sugrue has done a superb job in his character delineation; in his record of the "Physical Readings, " and in the section on the philosophy which has come through the "Information". I wish he had given a little more of the value of the "life Readings" to the individual, but, since they were a later development in your life and work, it is quite logical that he stressed the "Physical Readings". In any event this is of small importance, as the book, - in its entirety, - is such a fine job of writing as to hold the attention of the reader from cover to cover. I believe it will have a substantial sale to start with, and that it is the sort of thing that will grow in circulation with time. Tom has certainly permeated his "Story of Edgar Cayce" with understanding and sympathy, and everyone will feel this I am sure. Your letter came to me this morning, and I am glad to know you had a satisfactory Christmas, although I regret to hear that Gertrude has a cold. Yes, I know that I am not alone in having difficulty in getting domestic help. The difference between me and most other women is that I HAVE TO CARRY A BIG JOB AS WELL AS DO MY HOUSEWORK. Were I free of the necessity to earn a living in a responsible position I would think nothing of having to scrub and wash and cook and clean silver at home. But it does necessitate my counting every minute of time in order TO DO BOTH. And means that I have none at all for rest and relaxation, which my doctor says is very detrimental to my health. Well, I guess I'll live through it! I am looking forward with great happiness to seeing you in about three weeks. Please be sure to save a dinner or luncheon WITH ME ALONE, as I shall want an opportunity to have at least one nice long talk with you. My love to you and yours, and may the New Year increase the inner peace of your own mind and soul and body, as well as that of your household. Yours in ever abiding friendship R15. 1/29/43 [1472]'s letter to EC: New York Dear Edgar: I am sorry you found your household so upset when you got home. I thought it might cheer Gladys a bit to hear from me directly, so I wrote her this morning, and I sincerely hope she has fully recovered. Naturally Gertrude feels a tug at her heart-strings when informed of the forthcoming arrival of another grandchild in such circumstances as exist with Edgar Evans, but the way things are now going with the war I have the conviction that the European end of it (Germany and Italy) will be over before Edgar Evans has to be sent abroad.

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE color, and I think it is going to take us longer to lick them, but with Hitler squelched, concentration on the little yellow devils should finish them off before too long. Anyway we can live but one day at a time, and it will help if we can just not cross our bridges before we come to them. I share your pleasure in having had the opportunity of a bit of companionship with you, which your visit here afforded. I never felt so completely in harmony with you as this time I was with you, and I believe the meetings will be fruitful. I was happy to contribute whatever I could to them, as I am always glad to do for you or anything that concerns you. I have had quite a time with Rabbi [991]. He has paid several visits to my office. The last one was to discuss his "Life Reading". I took him up to ... where we could find a quiet corner, and went into it very thoroughly. I told him it plainly indicates a struggle in this incarnation to hew to the spiritual line (despite the fact that he is a Rabbi!). He broke down and told me he is terribly confused and admitted he is unfaithful to his wife and that his mistress is now seven months pregnant. No wonder his "Reading" warned him against "returning to the flesh-pots of Egypt"! I told him I can do nothing for him in such a situation, and that I do not think he will be free of confusion as long as he lives thus dishonestly. He took my frankness very well, but he wants to "eat his cake and have it too", and that just can't be done. Of course all this is between us. He begged me to let him come often to talk with me, but I told him only if I can really help him, as there would be no use in talking with me when HE KNOWS THE RIGHT as well as I do. And to-morrow I am to go over the "Life Reading" of [1897] with her. Remember her? Both of these people have come to me as a result of my talks at the meetings, and I have promised to also see several others. I am glad if I can be of service to any of them but no one can do more for another than incline them to their own inner realization. I said this, you may remember, at the ... meeting. The rest is up to them. I have had some amazing letters from young [2850], who is stationed at Atlantic City. He is only eighteen, and has had such a sheltered life; has been and IS so adored by both his parents, and is himself such a highly sensitized person that his induction into the army gave him quite a problem the first two weeks. He is so opposed to war that it makes him doubly sensitive to military training. I want to quote you something lovely from his last letter, - something that I know will greatly please you too. Here it is: "My biggest spiritual problem is to be 'in it but not part of it'. Therefore when I march or drill, or put on my hideous gas mask, I visualize the most beautiful things possible, such as Mr. Cayce's face, or the pages of the bible, and I say the Lord's prayer while marching on the boardwalk in the dark mornings." He knows your face only from the photograph in "There Is A River", my copy of which I loaned his mother. He is a beautiful child and deeply religious in the truest sense of that word. I know of no one, - young or old, - who has such implicit faith in prayer. [2850] says God always hears him and always answers him, and he has had some remarkable experiences through prayer which certainly would seem to prove him right. I am wondering if anything has come to you re. the conflict that goes on inside of me regarding my house down there. When I rationalize it my mind says it is too much for me to undertake and that I should sell it. When I do not LET THE INTELLECT argue with me about it, there is a glad sense of rightness in having bought it. Yet, I cannot help but wonder WHY I AM NOT AT PEACE ABOUT IT IF I WAS TRULY GUIDED IN THE PURCHASE. If you get any intuitive answer, or other slant on it, do let me know, for it bothers me a good deal. [1743] came in for lunch with me today. It is the first time I have seen him since he was inducted into the Army. He has now been made a corporal, and leaves to-morrow for at least three months at the Tennessee University Medical School [This is in Memphis, Tenn. (University of Tennessee)], where he is to have a further course in X-Ray work. He was in the Medical Detachment of the Army at Fort Monmouth in New Jersey, and there he was also studying X-Ray. He would like to practice Chiropractic, but thus far has had no chance at it. He is grateful for the X-Ray work however, and feels it must have a purpose in his life or he would not have been thrust into this branch. He looks fine, and is eager for each new experience, all of which are broadening to him, and he will never have to go into the actual fighting unless it is in the medical division, as he is totally deaf (from birth) in one ear. Well, I have written you a long letter. Have heard nothing from Hugh Lynn since his return, but assume all is well with him, since you did not mention him.

My love to Gertrude and tell her to KEEP THE CHIN UP. Yours in devoted friendship [1472] R16. 2/2/43 EC's letter to [1472]: Dear [1472]Thanks for yours of the 29th, Miss Gladys is still pretty sick as are several of the children in her household, so everything is being held up as can't get hold of a steno who can write the information as might be given, seems to upset quite a number as can easily see how it would who wish emergency readings, but all including myself will have to be just a little patient. Glad you wrote her think it will help a lot. Yes - quite a surprise to us all about Edgar Evans, but as wrote them - was sure they had thought it all out - and thought both of them very brave considering everything, but is the natural instinct of those very deeply in love, and the world needs more expression of LOVE. Certainly was nice to see and be with you again, enjoyed the lunch with you and the opportunity to talk with you a bit. Rabbi [991] is a mystery to me, just hope he doesn't become too much of a pest for you, it is one thing to help a body help themselves and another when one takes advantage of such. Yes - think you will find Miss [1897] a very interesting person, while have never known her very well except by letter - though have met her - she seems to be a very high minded person and does a lot of good. Hope you haven't let yourself in for too much bother by giving yourself to helping others with the information, will come to know the lives of several that way - but some become leaches in such, others may be props, but hope it will all prove not only a labor of love but a helpful thing for all concerned. Liked Mrs. [2880], wish might have had the opportunity of meeting [2850], from his reading he must be a very unusual boy, but just hope he doesn't have too many Jars meeting the army life and the personalities of so many selfish and unselfish persons. A very nice compliment to me hope may never shatter the idea he has of me, though realize it is something to live up to such an ideal, just as have found it in keeping the idea our own boys have of me, to still be, the hero for your own sons after they have grown to manhood, not an easy task, and would be a task indeed were it taken as a task, has to be a living thing and never a pose or task at all. No - have had the situation very much on my mind about your property here since saw you, but not one thing that could say was against it has come, again have had something of the same experience of seeing you working there, am sure it is something that you will have to conclude yourself, for your first experience as well as all I have ever had would indicate it will be a marvelous place for you to do some of your best work, am sure it has many drawbacks yet has much to endear its self to you. Glad to hear Mr. [1743] is having an opportunity to better prepare himself for his work, know just a bit about X-ray and suppose what little I know of the Anatomy of the body is my experience with such for several years, and so it will be with him, does he apply himself to such will be of untold help to him in his work later, whether he gets to practice Chiro, just now or not what he has gotten in the practice and study will only be verified by his work with the X-ray.

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE Have yours of the 10th [asking if she could come board with EC-GC for a rest-vacation] yes had heard H.L. say you had been very sick, but have been so busy have only had chance to offer a silent prayer for you. Am glad you are at least able to be home again. H.L. is in the Army, poor child he was so rushed here at the last moment but think heard him dictating a letter to you, but I can't afford a typist even if could don't know as want them to scrawl the poor letter I can make. sure hated to have H.L. leave, and puts me in a bit of a quandary as to what to do, but will do what can - and what can't just can't do. [1472], do wish it were so we could have you here, especially need your council at this time I suspect any way, but Gertrude hasn't a room in the house that is available, she has been letting rooms to the service men's wives and they are all full, and you can't get them out unless you close house - then too she hasn't a bit of help, and has about worried herself to a shadow, am really uneasy about her, am sorry to have to say that it just isn't practical at this time wish it were but that is the situation, whether you could find a home here where you might have meals am afraid that too is out of the question, but would like to have you at the Beach. Sorry you have been feeling so badly, do hope tho now you are on the road to good health and will find just the place for a good rest with the surroundings conducive to a pleasant stay. H. L. as I said was so busy here after he was inducted resigning from this and that job, and meetings that until the last moment he was off with someone he had a business conference with. Thanks a lot.

Dear [1472] Thank you very much for yours of the fifteenth. I thought about you many times since you have been in New Hampshire, and I am glad that you have gotten along as nicely as you have. I am sure you have been of a great deal of help to Dr. [2067]. If the sacrifice has not been too great on you part, it is possibly very much worthwhile. It is quite nice of you to suggest such a dedication of the book, but I am sure that I much preferred it had not been done. Too many nice things are being said about me. Too many people are becoming too dependent on me. I do not know as I am able to take it. I feel and have felt for a long time that your analysis of her disposition is just about right. While we never want to pass judgement on others, yet, we are forced at times to feel things even though we may never give verbal expression to them. We all have our faults, I know, and there is none of us so blind as those who will not see even when it is pointed out to us. But why some people can't take a hint at times when things are continuously going wrong, and know that they must make a change within themselves, again I guess the whole Book is right, "Let him who hath ears, hear." I am sorry the weather has been such as to be inclined to aggravate rather than help the general conditions. Possibly, however, being outside or in the different atmospheric pressure, your body will have gained something in its attempt to meet the general conditions and will be better for having had the experience as well as your mental self will have grown some also in working against such odds. It sounds like a pretty good proposition from the magazine editor. What do you think? Well, I might have thought work was piled up a few weeks ago, but it is gradually on the increase. I think what has helped me most is to have a good stenographer for I can pile all the hard things on to her - she has a pretty good disposition. I am getting along very well. I had taken a couple of days off and got by myself, and I think I crawled up close to the mountain top. If someone does not kick me off, I will be all right…. Thanks for referring the book to others and I hope that it will prove to be of a helpful influence to many as it seems to be doing from the reports that we are hearing now and then. We have had to get help for Miss Gladys also. Thanks a lot, With loads of love, Edgar R20. 10/3/43 [1472]'s letter to EC: Sunday, Dear Edgar:

Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE I was telling [2880] last week of a very curious dream I recently had, and she suggested that I write YOU about it in the hope that your psychic abilities might enable you to interpret it, as it interests us as much as it puzzles us. I say "dream" but it was not really a dream for I am sure I WAS NOT ASLEEP. I have the feeling I went out of the body while still awake. Anyway I am sure I was not asleep during the experience. I was, however, in bed, and on the path to sleep, although still in my own state of daily wakeful consciousness. I seemed to get up from the bed, and I stood in a flowing robe that was a dull PUTTY GREY. It even covered my head so that I was grey from tip to toe. I went out over undulating country that had not a vestige of life. Everything was the same dull putty shade of grey. There was no color anywhere; no life anywhere; just miles upon miles of UNDULATING GREY MOUNDS, one merging into the other. I was entirely alone. I saw no living thing, - human, animal, or vegetable, and I felt the most utter sense of desolation. I thought: well, I guess I am what they call being "dead", and wondered what I should do to contact friends. Then I thought of the instructions in Edith Ellis' book ("Open the Door") to call out to those who had gone before and let them know of one's arrival. So I started calling Laura Elliot, one of my dearest friends who died three years ago. But no one came, and I just walked on in that leaden grey undulating landscape; in my leaden grey robes; in the most awful sense of desolation, - as though I were the only living thing there was in existence, and I but hardly living. Then suddenly the vision passed, and I was back in my own body; my own conscious self. I have been unable to get it out of my consciousness ever since, so I told [...] about it, and she is as puzzled over it as I am. I have thought perhaps it might be due to my physical condition which continues so "low". Or perhaps to the state of the world at present. Or what have you? Think it over between now and the time you come up here, and maybe we can get at some solution of it, for I do not feel it was without some meaning. As it does not represent my normal state of consciousness, I would certainly like to get at the right interpretation of it. Am looking forward to your visit and can hardly wait until the 9th of Nov. Heaps of love from [1472] R21. 10/7/43 EC's letter to [1472]: Mrs. [1472], New York City, N.Y. Dear [1472] Thanks for yours of the third. It is quite interesting, but still a morbid sort of a dream. I wouldn't know just what this could mean unless it was something of a warning to you to be closer in touch with something or someone, if and when such an experience came about. I am sure that the description will be a very beautiful one for you in some story and evidently you have had something in mind that such a desolation either from the luck of friends or caused by so much hate, so much jealousy that must be in the world today and that would be a wonderful description and having experienced it, you could put it into words as nobody else can. I think I know just what you mean for I have had a few times that same loneliness, except under quite different colors. In that outer darkness, it is a purple dark, but I am glad I have never seen that gray. The only gray I have seen in that associated with a few meetings I have in my dreams attended, but that was connected with something that was to be very enlightening and even interpreting it from color. I am sure it has a meaning, but just what, I do not know. Thank you for thinking of me and writing me about it. I will think it over and talk about it to you when I see you. As I wrote you, I have accepted the invitation to the luncheon and that day will be given to you and I hope you will be able to go with me to the meeting that night…. Thanking you again and with love from all, Sincerely, Edgar Cayce R22. 9/30/44 Letter from Miss [1387] to GD: "...I thought you were a friend of mine! How come you want me to 'contact' [1472]? Don't you know that all we have to do is get in the same room to have the temperature drop below zero? I have never yet been near her that she has not all but slapped me in the face. Even way back in 1939 at the first congress I attended. I really don't see what we would have in common except a decided dislike for each other. I don't think I could help her any - I don't think she would ever acknowledge that she needed any help..."

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE Dearest [1472]Thanks so much for your letter. you wouldn't believe the improvement that has taken place in Mr. Cayce since he arrived home, but you'd still be terribly shocked if you could see him. Beth Graves came in to see him today - she saw him the day he left Va. Beach for Roanoke - and she was shocked beyond words, not having realized how helpless he was. But I know that his greatest chance for recovery is the rebuilding of his nerve energy in the way we have been told through the readings to do it. His treatment is very similar to that given for Tom Sugrue, and I am sure it will be quite long-drawn-out. Perhaps it is best this way, since he will be forced by necessity to turn within rather than putting his mind so much on the material things which caused his illness in the first place. Today he dictated a letter to Hugh Lynn, even though he had to whisper it. You see, he's lost his voice - probably from sheer weakness, though Miss Annie Cayce thinks it is the same way he lost it years ago when he first learned he could give readings. Perhaps he will learn something even more wonderful from it this time. He's very impatient for visitors and mail now, so I'm telling everyone to write him and visit him for a few minutes at the time. In the mornings he has time to dictate two or three Thank You notes (and there are plenty of them to do!). In the afternoons for about two hours he can receive visitors - a few minutes for each one, with a little nap between. You see, he hasn't yet gotten so that he can sleep a whole night through, so he has to take naps often in order to get enough rest. I believe that eventually he will become so relaxed that he will probably do nothing but sleep for two or three days until he "catches up" but that time hasn't come yet. His circulation is still unequalized. The swelling in his hand has gone down but his left foot is still quite swollen…. [1472], I'm so glad about the article for The Reader's Digest. I'll be on the lookout for it. Yes, I'm glad, too, that it will be on Dr. [...] instead of on Edgar Cayce! That would certainly break the camel's back! Bye for now. Heaps of love. Do hope you're feeling stronger all the time. As ever, [signed] Gladys R26. 12/10/44 [1472]'s letter to EC: Sunday Dear Edgar: Although I have not written you since you got home I have been in correspondence with Gladys Davis, who has kept me informed of your improvement. I was happy when I learned you were returning to Virginia Beach, for I had a deep inner conviction that you would recover sooner there than anywhere else, as it means a great deal to our balance to be in familiar and loved surroundings and have those who care a great deal about us around us. As I cannot believe anything ever happens without ultimate good coming out of it, I feel something will be learned and gained from this present physical disharmony of yours, and that it will operate to your ultimate spiritual development and satisfaction. I sincerely hope I am right in this. In any event, I know it has been a terribly hard experience from a purely human standpoint, and my heart has been filled with love and sympathy for you in it. I am inclosing "the widow's mite" by way of a wee bit of financial help in the present situation. It has been a real cross to me that I have not been able to do anything recently for the Association financially. But there was a whole year during which I did not earn a cent before going to Arkansas on the radio contract. While I earned a fine salary during the six months of this work, it had to go in catching up on financial things; taxes, and increased cost of living expenses. And now I am just where I was before going to Arkansas. While I shall try to do some writing by way of earning a living, it is a slow and uncertain profession at best, and I am hoping something more remunerative and permanent in the radio field may again turn up. In the meantime I have at least INSTIGATED some of the financial help you HAVE been getting, and I continue to render the Association all the service I can at this end of the line. I have been in Correspondence with [3514] of ... She sent me the amazing "Reading" you got for her in which she was told a real "Reading" would not be given her until she answered "Yea" or "Nay" as to whether she was ready to follow what it revealed. Mrs. [3514] writes me that SHE MET THIS CHALLENGE, - writing you that she WAS QUITE WILLING TO MAKE ANY SACRIFICE DEMANDED OF HER. She tells me that a period was then set for the full "Life Reading", but that you were unable to give it when the time came because of illness. She Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

83

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE intimated in her letter that it WAS TRIED still later, and that you were unable to contact your Source of Information, or read her Akashic Records. Is this correct, or is my understanding at fault? If it is true, how do you account for it? I can understand the first challenge to her, but when she faced it and AGREED to the conditions made for the "Reading", I don't understand why you could not THEN get it. From her letters I judge her to be a very fine person. She has seen a full incarnation of mine, - or so she claims. She says I was Roger Bacon, who lived from 1214 to 1292 in Somerset, England. He was a Franciscan monk; a philosopher; metaphysician and scientist. He was imprisoned for denouncing the hypocrisies of the church. He also attacked other religious and philosophical orders for their low moral and intellectual standards. Roger Bacon is supposed to have been an incarnation of Comte de Saint Germain. Mrs. [3514] seems also to be a very fine astrologer, and USES A PERSON'S ASTROLOGICAL CHART TO CHECK THE ACCURACY OF HER READING OF AN AKASHIC RECORD. It is all most interesting. As I have had but one incarnation given me by Mrs. [3514], and since that checks with none of your readings, I am not certain yet of the value of her work. I say this because I can see no particular value in knowing who you were and where you lived in some former life UNLESS you are given something of your activities and influences at that time, AND THE URGES AND RELATIONSHIP OF THEM TO THE PRESENT. YOU ALONE, of all the psychics I know who have the ability to read the records, DO THIS. That is why your "Life Readings" are as unique as they are valuable. However, Mrs. [3514] MAY BE ABLE TO DO THIS. In my next letter to her I shall ASK her. Just because she DIDN'T do it in the reading of the one incarnation which came through for me DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT SHE CANNOT. So I shall wait until I know more before forming an opinion of the value of her abilities as they relate themselves to other people. As I first wrote Mrs. [3514] at the suggestion of Gladys Davis, I will be glad if you will show Gladys this letter. It will answer her questions regarding the correspondence until I can make time to write her a separate letter... Young Ricks told Mrs. [3514] some pretty fantastic yarns about the Association. I was glad she wrote me about it, AS IT ENABLED ME TO DISPEL ANY MISCONCEPTIONS SHE GOT FROM HIS REPORT. One of the things he said is that the readings (yours) have said there are only two people in the world who can do your work and that they are St. Peter and St. Paul. He told Mrs. [3514] that Hugh Lynn has found Peter in England and is bringing him back with him after the war. Ricks said that he (Ricks) is supposed to be St. Paul!!! Supposed BY WHOM? He has not yet had his "Life Reading" so you couldn't have given him that. Was it given in any other "Reading", - perhaps someone else's? I would be interested to know this, so tell Gladys to let me know when she writes again. Please give my love to Gertrude, Gladys, Sally and dear little Tommy. And keep just heaps for yourself, dear Edgar. Yours in devoted and abiding friendship…

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE

TEXT OF READING 2067-11 F 56 (Teacher, Quaker-Spiritualist) This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 22nd day of February, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Dr. [2067], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Hugh Lynn Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. READING Time of Reading ... College, 11: 00 to 11: 40 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Vermont. 1. HLC: You will have before you the Christ Ministry book being prepared by [2067], ... College, ..., Vermont. You will ans. the ques. the entity submits, as I ask them, regarding the history and material needed to complete this book: 2. EC: Yes, we have the information that has been indicated, and those efforts on the part of [2067] to put this into a story. 3. Ready for questions. 4. (Q) For the title of the Christ Ministry book will JESUS, THE ESSENE be acceptable? (A) It would be to some, but to more it would not. 5. (Q) Would you suggest a suitable title? (A) Who's writing the book? From here, or from the compilations? It would be preferable that the data be prepared, and then FROM that there may be indicated the better title. The Early Ministry, or the Early Life, or the Life of Jesus as the Essene, not Jesus the Essene. 6. (Q) For literary purposes, please describe a secret Essene meeting before Christ, at which Judy, or her parents, or Thesea, or some Bible characters were present. (A) This might be described very well as by any authentic meeting of certain groups founded by Solomon. But the description should not be from here, for it would be quite at variance to much of the data prepared. Draw upon the own imagination. The Essenes were a group of individuals sincere in their purpose, and yet not orthodox as to the rabbis of that particular period. Thus such a meeting would be described by the meditations, certain ritualistic formulas, as may be outlined very well from some of those activities as may be gathered from the activities of the priest in the early period when there was the establishing of the tabernacle. Remember, recall, the first two didn't do so well, even under the direction of the high priest; for they offered strange fire. Let not, then, that as would be offered here, become as strange fire, but as in keeping with the precept of Jesus, "I and the Father are one;" not individually, but in the personal application of the tenets, commandments, being one in purpose, one in application. Thus such a meeting would be the interpreting of each promise that has been made; as to when, as to how there would come the Promised One. Analyze in the mind, then, that from the 3rd of Genesis through to the last even of Malachi. Set them aside. Use them as the basis of discussions, as the Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE

various groups may be set in order; each rotating as a teacher, as an instructor for that particular meeting; remembering all were secret meetings. 7. (Q) Tell of the work, the prophecies, the hopes of Phinehas and Elkatma, Judy's parents, at Carmel, as Essenes. (A) These were those activities that may be illustrated very well in the ministry of the parents of the strong man, - that a parallel may be drawn; as to how first there was the appearance to the mother, and then the father, as to what should be the ministry, the activity of the entity that was to lead that group, and aid in the early teaching of the prophecies of the life of the child Jesus, as well as of John. For, John was more the Essene than Jesus. For Jesus held rather to the spirit of the law, and John to the letter of same. 8. (Q) Was Judy immaculately conceived, as perhaps was Samuel? (A) Neither were immaculately conceived. 9. (Q) In Jewish history was anybody but Mary and Jesus immaculately conceived? [See 5749-8, Par. 15-A, 6/27/37 & 5749-7, Par. 28-A, 6/27/37.] (A) Mary was not immaculately conceived [according to Jewish history]. Jesus was. There have been others, but not in Jewish history.* * [GD's note: EC made an appointment 3/27/43 to clarify contradictory statements in re Mary but had to cancel due to rush of emergency rdgs. Dr. [2067] had on 2/27/43 requested Ck. Life on her Salem incarnation, which reading was gotten in 8/43 under 2067-12. Too bad we did not get the reading clarifying the Mary statements instead. 4/19/43 EC wrote that he was swamped with appointments, HL had gone into the army, and he didn't know when he'd be able to get another reading on the Christ ministry material.] 10. (Q) Why was Judy not a boy as expected? (A) That is from the powers on high, and gave the first demonstration of woman's place in the affairs and associations of man. For, as were the teachings of Jesus, that released woman from that bondage to which she had been held since the ideas of man conceived from the fall of Eve, or of her first acceptance of the opinions, - these were the first, and those activities that brought about, in the teachings materially, that as Jesus proclaimed. 11. (Q) For what purposes was Judy sent into the world at that time? (A) Just indicated. 12. (Q) Describe any outstanding points or unusual abilities Judy had. (A) Only as one brought into those activities - as it may be well described as the feminine of Samson. 13. (Q) Where did Judy receive her education, in what subjects, and who were her teachers? (A) The Holy Spirit, and the mother and father; not from other sources, though there were those activities from all of the teachings of the East, through those early periods before there were those acceptances of Judy as the leader of the Essenes at Carmel at that period. 14. (Q) During the lifetime of Jesus where did Judy live and with whom? (A) In Carmel; with the companion and the mother.

15. (Q) Please describe Judy's personal appearance, her dress, her personality, her faith. (A) Draw upon the imagination for these. As would be the dress of Samson, making it feminine. 16. (Q) Tell of Judy's marriage, the name of her husband, his work - names of children and their accomplishments. (A) His work had to do with the records that were translated for the various groups. The activities of Judy through these experiences were much as might be termed those of Hannah, during those periods when there were those seekings for that from the Lord that might give a recompense for those doubts brought out by others. 17. (Q) What were the names of Judy's children? (A) These have little to do with that needed. This has been indicated. 18. (Q) What were the "fears" that wrecked Judy's son who is now [2795] and why was Judy, the healer, unable to heal him? (A) It was not disease, other than that within self. Why were Samuel's sons sinners? These may only be answered within the individual or from the seeking of the individual himself. 19. (Q) Tell about the angels appearing to Judy, when, where, and what they said. (A) Which period? These were many and oft. 20. (Q) Please describe Judy's home life as well as her Essene activities. (A) That as might be the description of an individual who had set self aside as a channel for such activities. These are very hard to be understood from the material mind, or from the material understanding or concept, especially in this period of consciousness. For, then man walked close with God. When there were those preparations - it is possible in the present, but not ACCEPTABLE. Consequently, to describe the home life as to say they sat in the sun, ate three square meals a day and wore little or nothing, or that they dressed in the best - it must be that as from the spirit. May best be described as given by Luke, in his description of those things that disturbed Mary. "She kept these things and pondered them in her heart." She kept those experiences, those teachings, - she pondered them in her heart. This did not prevent her from being, then, a material person, nor one with the faculties and desires for material associations - as indicated in the lack of celibacy. Is this indicated in any condition in the book, or man's relationship to God? Nowhere is this indicated! 21. (Q) Tell about Judy teaching Jesus, where and what subjects she taught him, and what subjects she planned to have him study abroad. (A) The prophecies! Where? In her home. When? During those periods from his twelfth to his fifteenth-sixteenth year, when he went to Persia and then to India. In Persia, when his father died. In India when John first went to Egypt where Jesus joined him and both became the initiates in the pyramid or temple there. 22. (Q) What subjects did Judy plan to have him study abroad? (A) What you would today call astrology.

23. (Q) At what major events in Jesus' life was Judy present, - such as casting out of demons, healing, feeding 5, 000, etc.? (A) At his teaching - for a period of some five years. 24. (Q) Was she present at any of the healings or the feeding of the multitudes? (A) Those where she chose to, but she was very old then. She lived to be sufficiently old to know, of course, of the feeding of the first five thousand. She was present, but rather as one that brought the crowds together, than as contributing to the activities at the time. For, there the divisions arose, to be sure. 25. (Q) Was Judy present at the Crucifixion or the Resurrection? (A) No. In spirit, - that is, in mind, - present. For, remember, Judy's experience at that time was such that she might be present in many places without the physical body being there! 26. (Q) Tell of instances when Judy and Thesea, the Essene, worked or planned together. (A) Only at the regular periods, or meetings of the Essenes, as we find. We are covering too great a period here. Draw something on the self! 27. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND OF READING 2795-1 M 28 B1. 8/5/42 Questions were submitted. See reading. TEXT OF READING 2795-1 M 28 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 9th day of August, 1942, in accordance with request made by the self [2795], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mrs. [1472]. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. READING Born December 26, 1913, in Chickasha, Oklahoma. Time of Reading 3: 25 to 4: 05 P. M. Eastern War Time. N.Y.C. 1. GC: You will give the relation 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: (In going back over years from the present - " - '40 - '41 - years of wonderings - '39 - '33 - preparation - '32 - " etc., on back to birth date.) 3. Yes - we are given the records here of that entity now known as or called [2795]. A great deal of what is at times called royalty is indicated in the material experiences; these coming under rather unusual circumstance. 4. In giving the interpretation of the records as we find them, - we find that the entity is not only an Atlantean (and a real Atlantean) but a Uranian, with Neptune's influence. Hence we will find one with all the abilities of the adept, but it will depend upon the choice of associations, and the names and groups with which the entity identifies itself, as to whether it has the opportunity to develop those abilities that are latent or manifested. 5. Thus the entity may have three courses, - a complete failure, a mediocre career, or that which will outshine most of its fellows. 6. Then, in giving the interpretation, we choose this information from the records, with the desire and purpose that this may be a helpful experience for the entity; enabling the entity to better fulfil those purposes for which it entered this material sojourn. 7. To be sure, we would minimize faults, we would magnify virtues. This the entity also should do, in its associations with others and with self.

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE

8. As to the urges that are latent, - we find that the material sojourns in Atlantis and in Persia have a great influence, and also those sojourns during the interims have their meaning; not as from the astrological, yet such terms are used because the consciousness or awareness of an individual entity is accredited to such a consciousness, or to such a dimension. 9. Thus we find Mercury as the high-minded influence, yet from the Uranian and Neptune the interest in the occult as well as in the mystical. These may so impede the activities of the entity as for that attempted to be evilspoken of. 10. Hence in making application of the urges that arise, there are the needs for the entity to use the Mercurian force in stabilizing self. Not that the entity should not always be ready and willing to give an answer for the faith that lies within, but being in a material world let that which is of the spirit bespeak of itself in the good, the truth, the kindness, the gentleness, the patience, the brotherly love that is shown in the dealings with others; rather than that as may be indicated by the influences that judge not from the material application of spirituality in the experience. 11. Jupiter, as we find, is in the background. This is the benevolent influence. And in the thirty-fourth or fifth year should bring those experiences in which that application of self may be turned into that which is a construction in brotherly love, and those activities in which the entity may then find itself given to bringing and creating a unison of purpose in the spirit of truth as found in the Way, the Truth and the Light. 12. As to the appearances in the earth, - these have been so vast in their urge, and so far-reaching in the experiences of the world, that the entity at times is termed the dreamer and not quite practical to the lay mind. Yet these may be the channels through which the entity may be able, as it has given in the experiences in the earth, to give the greater interpretation, the greater understandings. 13. Before this the entity was in the French land, during those periods of the reconstructions and the latter part of the period when many portions of the land and the peoples arose as for the Crusade for an ideal. 14. These, and the experiences, brought disappointments to this entity. And in the latent urges we find the fear of being misunderstood, or of being misinterpreted. And yet that seeking latently for those activities that will be of a universal nature to bring betterment of every nature to the fellow man. This oft, as in that experience, is indeterminate as to whether the approach should be from the spiritual man or the mental or the physical man. 15. The name then was Sledgette. The entity gained, lost, and gained; gained when there was the holding to the universal consciousness; lost when disappointments and discouragements came from the physical shortcomings and associations. 16. Before that the entity was in the Persian land, when there were those activities in the Holy Land. (This, of course, was preceding that experience when the entity was as a nonentity yet gained much, as the son of that entity Judy [1472] that led the Essenes' activity. Yet with the persecutions the entity became as one paralyzed from fear, - bodily fear. These brought disappointments. For, in the experience before, - ) Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

17. The entity was the Persian and Chaldean king [Cyrus the Great?] who moved first to declare the rights of each group and of each nation to worship according to the dictates of their own conscience; and issued those first decrees for the return of those of Judah to the rebuilding of the temple, and for those activities of the associates of the entity, that brought into the experience of those peoples of that land the releases, as well as to the people in the Indian land, and those in the Persian and in the land now known as China, Indo-China and the eastern lands. 18. These have brought, do bring to the experience of the entity those things of interest in regard to all forms of activity, motivative influences that prompt those peoples of these various lands as they seek in this period of a world of turmoil for their spiritual as well as economic and political expression in the earth. 19. Then as the king, and a kingly king, the entity gained the greater; overcoming and aiding much of that which was a part of the entity's experience in the Atlantean activity where in some of those periods the entity misapplied its power and might. 20. In the present experience we find that all that comes into the experience of the entity may be used in the FREEING of peoples from oppression, as it was through those periods of activity by the entity, as not only recorded in Holy Writ but in the history of that particular period of man's activity through the earth. For, all the reforms as may be a part of the experience may be pointed to in the activities of the entity in that particular period, as the Chaldean and Persian king. 21. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, when there were the coalitions of activities from the Atlanteans as well as those who under the leadership of the King or Priest had set about the preservation of those activities from various portions of the land, for an enlightenment to nations of the earth. 22. There the entity was that one who, with the passing of Ra-Ta, took those activities as the leader in the spiritual as well as the economic activities; leaving to the young King only the political and military powers through that particular period of activity. 23. Then in the name Het-le, the entity lost hold of that spiritual concept, yet in the latter portion of its experience - with the deteriorating factors that had entered in by the worship of individual things rather than the spiritual - the entity determined to correct those wrongs. Thus did the entity accomplish much in the Persian and Chaldean experience, in the next sojourn. 24. Before that the entity was in the Atlantean land, when there were those usages of the high developments in the activities of the mechanical nature. 25. Thus the entity was one who builded the planes, those activities in air, in water, as directed by the stone from which the forces were generated - or such as the radio beam in the present, - from that central facet for which the entity made those experiences - and that are the dreams of the entity in the present. 26. These may be used for constructive or destructive forces. These were allowed to become, or did become, those forces that brought about the last breaking up of Poseidia. In the experience the entity held fast to the creative purposes but was overruled by the sons of Belial, when those warrings began between the sons of the children of the Law of One and the sons of Belial.

27. Then the name was Esselme. 28. Before that the entity was also in the Atlantean land, among the sons of that one who first set about to choose that way in which there would be those applications for the benefit of the group, rather than just individual application, when those activities brought about the united efforts that had been proclaimed by the entity's father. 29. The entity then unified the usages of spiritual laws to the awakening or unfoldment of the activities for the benefits of the brotherhood of man, - as it unified itself against those destructive forces in the forms of those projections that had become as torments to those who chose the Law of One. 30. In the experience the entity applied itself in that of the universal brotherhood, - in the name then Selem. 31. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, - that to which it may attain, and how: 32. No limit may be set as to the abilities of an entity who puts self - in purpose, in desire, in hope - on the side of the Creative Forces, of the ONE God. And certainly no one who has through the earth experiences made such an application of self for the general benefit of and to the purpose of unifying brotherhood through the earth. 33. Though the mechanical and the spiritual applications may be applied in those ways that may become destructive, know first thy ideal: There is one God, and there is ONE way - and He that ye feared in those experiences as the leading of the sect that proclaimed His coming, and ye saw it fall away because of fear, proclaim in thy life, in thy light. Know His promises; not as sayings but as words to thee. 34. These may bring an understanding of that way in which ye may again bring to those that seek His face, not only their crosses but their blessings also. For He came that ye might have life and have it more abundantly. 35. May ye not, then, be a messenger for Him? 36. These ways are not past finding out. For as He hath given, "If ye call, I will hear - if ye seek, ye shall find. I stand at the door and knock. Open and I will enter in." But ye yourself - yes, ye thyself - must open. He opens it not for thee, until thou hast determined in thine heart, "Others may do as they may, but for me I will serve the living God." 37. Know then thy ideal, in spirit, in truth; and the author of thy faith. And as He gave, "I am the Door. By me ye may enter in." And he that climbeth up some other way robs himself of that beauty, of that understanding that puts him at peace with things that be, things that are and things that are to come. 38. These, then, ye seek. 39. Ready for questions. 40. (Q) What is the real purpose of my present incarnation; and the work best suited to its fulfillment and to my complete integration? (A) As may be drawn in inference and application from those activities that have been in the earth; that of UNIFYING man to his oneness with that Creative Force we call God.

41. (Q) Would marriage be advisable for me; if so, who would be my right companion, and if this person is not my true mate, who and where is my true mate? (A) There should be the answer from within as to this. For, as through thy experiences in the earth, oft has this phase of thy experience brought disappointments. Thus ye find in the present. But until there has been the completing of the present emergencies in thy experience with thy seekings as well as thine own land being free, think not of such associations. 42. (Q) Is my present knowledge along inventive lines connected with any former incarnation; if so, when and where; and how may I gain a fuller awareness of scientific principles known in other incarnations and now partially remembered; and how may I best develop this knowledge here and now for the service of mankind? (A) In those experiences in both the first mentioned Atlantean experiences, the knowledge was a part of the entity. As the king in Persia and Chaldea, ye made a practical application of same in thy dealings with thy fellow man. In the present turn within, if ye would know the way, the truth, the light. For, as has been given, when ye rely upon those forces of the divine, offering thyself as a channel to be used unto the glory of God and for the benefit spiritually of thy fellow man, as He hath given, "I will bring to thy remembrance all things from the foundations of the world." Thus it is not from without, but it is within thyself that ye may meet Him. For thy body is indeed the temple of the living God. There He has promised to meet thee, just as sincerely as ye seek; though knowledge without understanding may become sin - as it was in thy misapplication in the experiences when it was brought into destructive forces. 43. (Q) When, where, and what has been my association in past incarnations with the following people; what are the present urges from same; and how may we be of mutual help to each other here and now? First, [...], my father? (A) In the experience before this ye worked together, when there came the awakening to the real principles that should have prompted the activities in that period when there was by force the attempt to further spirituality. It is the choice, not by force. "Not by might nor by power, but by my spirit saith the Lord of host." Also in Atlantis there were the awakenings through the efforts of that entity who is now the father. 44. (Q) [...], my mother? (A) In the Egyptian land, as well as that companion in the Persian and Chaldean land - when ye were so encouraged by the entity now the mother. 45. (Q) [1472]? (A) Ye were the son of Judy in the Palestine experience. 46. (Q) Virginia Perry Sargent Strickland? (A) In Egypt, and in the Atlantean land. The Egyptian association came at that experience when there were those unifyings, and those spreadings. Also there were associations in other experiences not indicated in the list given here. 47. (Q) Sandra Strickland, daughter of above? (A) As a companion through the Egyptian experience, and in the Atlantean. Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

48. (Q) Colleen Ward? (A) In the period before this, ye left that entity for a service that proved not that really desired. 49. (Q) Margaret Bayard Lyon? (A) We do not find an association. 50. (Q) Satya Mukerki? (A) In the experiences in Chaldea, in Egypt, and in both of the Atlantean experiences. 51. (Q) Walter D. C. Johnson? (A) The experiences in the Atlantean land - ye worked together, ye worked against one another; and ye worked together in the Chaldean land. 52. (Q) Kikuko Miyakawa? (A) In the experiences in the Atlantean land. 53. (Q) Mary Lee Wynn? (A) This we do not find. This should be paralleled, however; for there has been an association. 54. (Q) Are my inventive ideas regarding inertia motors, communication receivers, the structure and operation of the atom, the construction and operation of the Atlantean Maxin Unfed Light, transmutation, gravitation, levitation, crystal lights, a heating instrument, and an astronomical telescope, scientifically sound and practical; and if so, when would be the appropriate time for these to be developed for the use of mankind? (A) They ARE scientific. They are not sound to the present application. They may eventually become so, as the use of self in its association to others makes same worthy of acceptation and in use for constructive forces in the experience of others. In about the thirty-fifth year would be the appropriate time. 55. (Q) Should I continue to cooperate with Edith Ellis and the Society for Etheric Research in the scientific development of an interplanetary communication instrument; and if so, have you any suggestions to offer regarding the construction and operation of such an instrument? (A) Continue in the study of these things through EVERY channel. That there are times when there are questions arising with the study with Ellis, to be sure may be channels that may separate self from the practical application of same. But get first understanding. THEN the knowledge as may come through this channel, as well as the intuitive forces, may be given thee in a fuller measure; else ye tempt thine own self to thine own undoing. Get understanding of thy relationship to the Creative Force as was manifested in Jesus the man, Jesus the Christ. 56. We are through for the present. [GD's note: All ques. submitted were answered except: What is the meaning of the dream I had August 26, 1940, in which a voice said, "We will come again the third Thursday, November first; be ready", after which I heard the "Music of the Spheres"?]

R2. 3/8/43 [2795]'s ltr. to HLC: ..., Conn. Mr. Hugh Lynn Cayce, Association for Research and Enlightenment, Virginia Beach, Va. Dear Mr. Cayce I appreciate the time you spent going over my reading with me at [1472]'s apartment when you were in New York City. You were very helpful. I'm only sorry you, your father, and I didn't have more time to talk about things. Thank you also for having Miss Mae Verhoven send me some extracts from the Readings on Atlantis. I have been studying these readings, and I find that the work I am doing certainly is along the same general lines - that is: the harnessing of the ever present energy of the Universe. While studying these readings, it occurred to me that the Lemurian Civilization harnessed the Sun's energy by paving their roadways with hexagonal stones. These hexagonal stones changed the sun light into electrical energy which flowed along the highway. This flow of electrical energy along the road was probably used to run their cars by induction methods, and for communication purposes between the cities. In Col. James Churchwards books on Mu, in referring to archeological remains at present visible, he refers to the remains of a highway which comes out of the Pacific Ocean, passes over an island, only to disappear into the water again, the highway being constructed of hexagonal stones so accurately that even now grass does not grow between them. As to whether this roadway construction was used by the Atlantean or Lemurian Civilization, or both, and for the above mentioned purposes, I do not know. Do you have any information on this subject? I would certainly appreciate any technical or scientific information on the Atlantean and Lemurian Civilization which has been given in the readings, if it is not too much trouble. Enclosed are a couple of reviews on There Is A River which appeared in the New York papers. I can't say too much for them. [1472] ought to write a book review on the book. She probably could do the book justice. Give my regards to your father. Sincerely, [2795] R3. 2/11/54 GD's note: He has continued to correspond spasmodically with HLC in re the A.R.E. work.

BACKGROUND OF READING 2880-1 F 56 B2. 12/29/42 Questions submitted besides those which got asked: 6: Please give me as full an account as possible of when, where, and what have been my associations in former incarnations with the following people; the type of affiliation I had with them; the purpose of our present relationship, and instruct me as to how we may be of the greatest service and help to each other here and now. a: [...], my present husband. b: [2850], my present son. c: [1472], Julia Chandler. d: Olga Worrell. e: Clara Whitely. 7: Please interpret the vision I frequently have of [1472] and me in an Eastern land in some distant past, where [...] stands on a stone battlement gazing out over what seems to be a desert land, while I walk forward to join her. When and where was this, and what is the significance of the fact that in the vision [...] wears a headdress with her Oriental robe, while I am similarly clad without the headdress? 8: Please explain the cause of the intense obligation I feel to protect my son, [2850], from unhappiness? B3. 12/30/42 See Mrs. [1472]'s background letter in re Mrs. [2880] under 1472-13 Reports. TEXT OF READING 2880-1 F 56 (Housewife, Teacher of Astrology) This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 12th day of January, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [2880], via Mrs. [1472]. PRESENT Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. READING Born July 23, 1886, in Liverpool, England. Time of Reading 3: 35 to 4: 20 P. M. Eastern War Time. New York City. 1. GC: You will give the relation 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: (In going back over years from the present - " - '40 - yes, changes - '35 anxieties and expectancies - '22 - a change in the ENTITY'S outlook, dealing with mental, spiritual and material aspects - '20 - '94 - yes, an illness - peculiar [?] illness - '93 - " etc., on back to birth date.) 3. Yes, we are given the records here of that entity now known as or called [2880]. 4. In interpreting the records, these are unusual - in that there is a seal, or the activities of the entity are indicated in a symbol with the record here: 5. A moon, a star; the cross, the shepherd and the staff, but with a circle of light. 6. These might be arranged in a symbol to mean much to the entity. 7. In giving an interpretation of the records as we find them here for this entity, much of that which has been the activity of the entity through varied experiences must be taken into consideration. And it will be seen that various periods of activity have conformed to those influences symbolized by those figures in the seal.

8. In choosing that as would be interpreted from the records here, all - to be sure - may not be given at once. Hence this we choose with the desire and purpose that this be a helpful influence in the experience of the entity; enabling the entity to better fulfil those purposes, those intents for which the entity came into this experience. 9. Some facts may be well; not as other than a reminder to the entity, though, that these are truths. And thus the interpretations may be considered therein, as to the activities, or that to which the entity may attain, in choosing its application of its abilities in the present. 10. We would minimize the faults, we would magnify the virtues. This, to be sure, should be the intent of the entity in its judgment of and in its dealings with others; not as to give false hopes nor yet to bring about such a submerging of the personality; though oft the ego of individuals needs to be submerged. But purpose and personality should be directed, not hindered. 11. In giving an analysis of the combination of influences that would be chosen as emblems of influences in the experience of the entity, - these we find: 12. One who is ofttimes very independent, in thought, in activity, in beliefs, and at other times is very dependent and influenced by what other people say - and is governed at times by filial or material duties to the exclusion of what the individual thinks or feels. 13. Thus there is the indication of the great influence of Uranian forces in the entity's experience, as combined also with Jupiter, Neptune, Venus. All of these bring about that very complex influence in the experience at times. 14. One given to poetic and musical influences, and those that may be termed the arts in man's relationships, or those influences that appeal to the poet, to the artist, to the aesthetic, the esoteric and the cosmic forces about an individual entity. 15. The astrological influences we would choose from here are not those indicated even by the studies of the entity. Not that there would be criticisms of either, but rather that the spiritual - or the ENTITY'S influence in such is indicated rather than the purely material angle or judgment of same. 16. As has been the experience of the entity, however, those systems or studies of astrology from the records and conclusions of the Persians, and the regions thereabout, would be much more in keeping with the individual purposes of the entity than those indicated in either the Indian or the Egyptian expression of same. 17. As to the appearances in the earth, - these, as indicated by the Uranian, Jupiterian, Venus and Neptune forces, - indicate quite a varied activity through material sojourns. And while all may not be given here, these are chosen as those having the greater influence in the experience of the entity, not only because of associations of the entity in the present - as with the companion and the associates, as well as friends - but the choice of the entity in those fields of activity that are so oft chosen by this entity itself. Thus we find: 18. Before this the entity was in the early settlings of the land of the entity's present sojourn, when there were those considerations given to and by groups of people seeking a land for spiritual as well as mental freedom.

19. Thus the entity was in those activities and among those groups who settled in the coast along that now known as Rhode Island. 20. There the entity was active in assisting in the home building, also in making the interpretations of the natives into the symbols and the signs, the forms of worship, and the varied activities in that period when new associations were being made with a peoples already with a purpose. 21. For, many were those various tenets of the groups encountered by the early settlers in that particular portion of the land. 22. The name then was Sybil Clarke. In the experience the entity gained, though the entity found confusion of individual groups as taught by mouth one precept and practised another. These have been and are continuous as a part of the innate force of sincerity that is a part of the entity's make-up in every direction. Insincerity becomes then almost as a bugaboo to the entity, when encountered in its activity with individuals. 23. And these often close the entity in its feelings to many a group, where material advantages might have been had or attained by the entity, if these were not such a part of the individual entity. 24. In the present these experiences enable the entity, though, to be one of an open mind, if not too broad-minded, and be able to gather much from associations with individuals or groups who may hold to those views of quite a different nature from those of the entity. 25. Before that the entity was in the land of the entity's present nativity, during that period when there were those specific judgments and undertakings being made to establish in England - and the lands adjacent - that group of individuals hoping, praying to be free from persecutions, because of their faith, or for their tenets in their worship of their deity. 26. In the experience the entity was a leader. For, these activities were brought about during those periods when there was the setting up of altars, - not for sacrifice, as had been in some of the entity's experiences before, but rather as an altar where the consecrating of body and of purpose might be established towards definite undertakings of the individual group in that particular experience. 27. The name then was Hezedhas. The entity was still in those groups whose forefathers had been priests in the Holy Land. 28. Before that the entity was in the land of promise, in those periods when there was the looking forward to the coming of the Holy One, in association with those who had been and who were the leaders of those groups known as the Essenes. 29. Thus the entity was closely associated with Judy [1472] in that particular period of experience, though the entity was more in the keeping and the application of spiritual tenets of the Syrophenician, or the Persian and the Syrophenician peoples. And the entity then was a prophetess, a seeress, in its study of astrology - as is called today - or the effect of planets, the sun, the moon, the stars, upon the habits of men. And these took the form of activity as a counselor, the guide, the instructress to those through that period of activity. 30. And the entity set much of its findings to poetry, yea to music also. Thus the high evolving of the psychic forces, though to the entity it has ever been

accredited to the occult. But these in their higher estate attain to one, even as the worship of First Cause or the first principles are one. 31. In the experience the entity gained much, suffered much, experienced much; but gave much to the peoples of the various periods and various groups with whom it was associated. 32. The name then was Zermada. 33. Before that the entity was in the land of promise, during those periods when there were many changes made in the activities and in the kingdom of Judah; during those periods just before the carrying away into captivity. 34. There the entity was an associate of the high priest, especially Zadok; not as a daughter, not as a wife, but rather as an associate, an interpreter of the law and of those experiences of the holy men who dedicated their lives, their activities to the interpreting of the visions, the dreams, the activities of those in authority as well as those to whom the influences from those promises were given - as the divine leaders through that period. 35. The name then was Zereptha. The entity suffered in body, yet in its purpose there was peace and harmony; being acquainted with many of those who are today called the minor prophets, as well as the major prophet - or prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah, during their attempts to call again to the minds of those in authority their duties and obligations to a people and a cause as a whole. 36. Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land, during those periods when there was the rebuilding after the periods of turmoil, when peace - through the coordinated efforts in groups from many lands - was bringing about those activities such that there was due consideration given to all groups, with each contributing something to the welfare of all. Not that as may be called of an individual nature, yet individual in its application. Just as brotherly love may be an administration to the world, yet is applicable to the individual, to the county, the state or nation, or the group of nations. 37. Those were the activities of the entity, from those tenets it had gained through its purification in the Temple of Sacrifice and through the chair or the initiations in the Temple Beautiful. 38. These then made the entity an emissary, in its gathering of information or data from other lands, as well as in the administering and teaching and helpfulness to the needs of those in the various lands, from that which had been found good in the entity's own Egyptian land. 39. The name then was It-Ak-Arr-m. 40. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, that to which it may attain, and how: 41. That indicated as a teacher, as a director, as a student in all phases of man's experience beyond and above that of materialism, has been and is the forte of the entity. 42. Know that not only what ye believe is important, but Who is the author and finisher of thy faith. Know ye looked not in vain, nor prophesied not in vain, in thy experience in the Holy Land; neither in the days when the great and terrible day of the Lord came, nor when there were those activities such that judgments were

being drawn and brought about in the experiences of those who had been unfaithful to a trust given by the holy of holies. 43. Thus know that in which ye believe is able to keep thee against any experience that may arise in thy relationships to thy fellow man, to thy material needs, to life, to death, to the hereafter. For He IS the resurrection, He is the life and the light. 44. Keep that faith with Him as the author and finisher of same, even Jesus the Christ. 45. Ready for questions. 46. (Q) How can I extend the borders of my consciousness to include higher dimensional knowledge and achieve greater spiritual illumination? (A) Thy body is indeed the temple of the living God. There He has promised to meet thee. Enter oft, then, within that holy of holies with Him as thy light and thy guide, and ye may achieve the greater spiritual awakening. For He hath given, "I stand at the door and knock - if ye will open I will enter in and abide with thee." 47. (Q) Has my spiritual development been enhanced by esoteric astrology in past incarnations; if so, when and how? (A) Study that as given. Take the warnings thou hast given others to thyself. 48. (Q) Considering my intense desire for a constructive use of my knowledge of esoteric astrology in the present, please instruct me as to its purpose and significance in my life; my best procedure in its utilization in my own development and the service and enlightenment of others. (A) Study that as given, in the light, in the life of Him who is the life, the way, the truth, the resurrection. Know, in that manner ye may better apply the understanding to those ye aid, to become a practical everyday experience. For, it is so easy and yet so hard. Know, in Him all extremes meet. For He was, He is, the Creator, the Maker of all that is manifested materially. He came into and unto His own, they received Him not; yet to as many as received Him gave He power to become the children of God. Receive Him, as ye promised Him to others. 49. (Q) How may my home duties and ties be so controlled as to prevent their continuous frustration of my astrological work? (A) That must be worked out in self, and not from here. But he gives the way. Nothing is impossible in God. 50. (Q) Should I cultivate or avoid the development of my mediumistic abilities, and if they should be cultivated what would be my most satisfactory media for their safe expression? (A) This may not be answered here - until thou hast analyzed well that which has been given thee. This is very good to ask, but trust only in that ye have continued to preach. Practice that which is the deepest latent virtue within thine inner self. We are through for the present. REPORTS OF READING 2880-1 F 56 3/22/43 See 2880-2.

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE

1. GC: You will have before you the entity now known as [2880], born July 23rd, 1886, at Liverpool, England, who seeks detailed information concerning her Palestine sojourn as Zermada at the time [1472 – Judy] was leader of the Essenes, covering the entity's entire life, work, and associations throughout that experience from her entrance to her departure. You will also give the developing or retarding associations and influences of that incarnation which bear on her present life, activities, and associations, and how they may be best used in the entity's present experience for her individual development and greatest service to others. You will then answer the questions she will submit as they are asked. 2. EC: Yes - we are given the records here of that entity now known as or called, [2880], and the experiences of the entity in that period high-lighted by the associations of the entity with the Essenes and the leader in Palestine of that particular group. 3. As indicated, the entity now called [2880] - then Zermada, - was rather of the Syrophenician, or the Persian and the Syrophenician peoples - as they were known in that experience. 4. In its unfoldment during the period the entity, as would be called now, took on the study of astrology, or astrological activities; growing in the early period in the experiences as a dreamer, as a meditator, as a seeress or prophetess; making those associations with the peoples of the far east. 5. Coming early in its experience to the conclusions, from its own experiences, that the looked for changes were coming in the Holy or Promised Land, the entity - before the birth of the Christ-child - made many journeys, and finally there were the closer associations with the leader of the Essenes and the entity dwelt in Carmel. 6. Through those associations there came more communications and interpretations of those records or signs that eventually brought the journeys of some of the Wise Men, of which we have records. These were the high-lights of the entity's experiences through that particular period of activity. 7. As to the associations, many of those of other lands came to the entity, with the counseling together. The associations with Judy as the leader of the Essene peoples only intensified or made the preparations as to choosing the groups that were to be the channels through which there was the possibility, the probability that the awakening should come to the peoples of that period; as well as to the world. 8. There were many of those who were a part of the associations in those activities; some where there were disputations, some where there were agreements. And as indicated for the entity, in the application or use of the findings, studies or interpretations of the various combinations of astrological influences, - the Persian manners of interpretation should be used. These would come to be more in keeping with those that were the unfoldments and developments of the entity through that particular period. 9. As to the developments or retardments in the experience, - these are the same problems that the entity has in the present; the intenseness of the entity, the ability to give those interpretations not only through the findings of others but through the intuitive forces as related to the soul-development of the entity.

10. The individual problems with individuals through the experience, - these, as then, have not as yet been concluded in their relationships. 11. For, this would bring questions, such as this: What is the purpose of an individual's entrance into the activities in the earth? That the soul may be a witness to the glorifying of the first cause or purpose, or God, in the earth. Whenever these have not been wholly attained, they continue to be problems in the individual entity's experience. 12. After the birth of the forerunner, and the problems that such brought to the priests that had conformed to or become a part of the experience, the entity was not altogether a dweller in Carmel - or the Promised Land, for fear of those in political power as to the activities. This caused the entity to go back and forth a great deal. Much of these were secret meetings, or what would be called not open visitations. Yet the entity throughout its experience continued to be one to whom many in places came seeking information, for direction and counsel. 13. The entity lived to be nearly ninety years of age in that particular period, passing into the other consciousness in a period of journey coming toward the Carmel retreat. 14. Ready for questions. 15. (Q) Please give me the origin of the seal referred to in my Life Reading; an interpretation of its figures; its relationship to my activities both past and present; instructions for arranging the figures to form the symbol mentioned; how the symbolism can be constructively used so that its meaning can be recognized and applied, and tell me if it should be used as a motive for meditation? (A) If the Life Reading is interpreted, it will be seen the activities in the experience are represented in the seal by the symbols. The interpretation is that these symbols should enable the entity to visualize the proper interpretation of problems in the lives of others. It is NOT as a motive for meditation, but the symbols are signs - just as given in the beginning, that the sun, the moon, the stars are given as signs, as symbols; and these should allow - in periods of meditation - the questions and answers to others, as well as enabling self to be made aware of - or given, we might say - the cue, or the key, or a prompting. Not to be used as a reason for meditation, rather as the answer in meditation. 16. (Q) What are the intents and purposes for which I came into this present experience as referred to in my Life Reading? (A) Just as indicated, to COMPLETE the purposes in using each ability to the glory of the First Cause, or God - never as that of gratifying, satisfying of self alone, but as an enlightening influence, as a helpfulness, as an inspiration, as a guiding force to many. 17. (Q) How can I attain better integration and greater balance? (A) Losing self in Him. Or, as would be put orthodoxly, "by faith." As may be put by reason, "studying to show self approved unto God, a workman not ashamed, but rightly stressing those things in the experience of all that are creative; minimizing faults, magnifying virtues." 18. (Q) Please give me a full account of the relationship and activities with my present son, [2850], during my incarnation as Zermada in Palestine, as well as other periods, explaining the cause of my present intense desire to protect him Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

106

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE

from harm or unhappiness, instructing me as to how I can be of the greatest service to him in the present? (A) Only as may be indicated here in this experience may it be given here, for these are the records as we have. As indicated in the records of each in this particular period of activity, - one - the son now - was rather intense, headstrong in his activities. The entity itself was rather inclined to temperate activity, and not too much of the urge to be so aggressive as the son was. Hence in the present we find those undue anxieties of the entity, knowing innately the intenseness to which this soul-entity, the son, would and does go in his seeking. 19. (Q) Please give me a detailed account of my association during my palestine incarnation as Zermada, as well as during other life periods, with my present husband, [...], the purpose of our present relationship and how we may best further the development of each other now. (A) These should be taken as a whole, if there is to be the perfect understanding. In that experience it was rather the passive period of activity, as it finds in the present; yet there were other associations which, as indicated, create or give the tensions. But the beauty, the rhythm, the symmetrical activity, comes from that particular period of sojourn. Hence the bond of sympathy, the bond of a united effort is the channel, the manner; not only in the material things but in the meditation and purpose, the hopeful purposes. These should be coordinated, that collaboration in the application of abilities of each in the present may be rather unified in their interpretation in material things. 20. (Q) Please give a fuller account of my association in Palestine with the entity now known as [1472] - then also called [1472] - and interpret the frequent vision in which I see us together on a high tower or battlement looking out over what seems to be a desert land, giving the significance of the fact that, in the vision, [1472], wears a headdress with her robe, while I wear a similar robe without a headdress? (A) There's little more than that as given. They counseled together oft, but they each considered self as an authority in or among their particular group. Do not get the idea that there was whole consideration of either, but that each had her own inner groups to which the counsel meant much, when to others at that period it meant little. Yet there was kept ever that bond of sympathy, that bond of purposefulness between the two; for each realized in the experience the less of self - or as was aptly given by the forerunner, "He must increase and I decrease." Neither finds that in self in the present, but that must be the principle. In the interpretation of the Christ-Consciousness, it must increase while self is lost in the giving to others. Neither holds to this, but you will find it in the end. As to the vision, - this is an interpreting of experiences when individuals met in Carmel. The battlement was where the two entities met in their discussions of their findings, and for their choice as to which each is to give to her own particular group. The vision of the headdress merely represents the customs and the differences of the peoples or tribes or groups to which the two belonged. 21. (Q) Considering the statement in my Life Reading that my present son, [2850], my present husband, [...], and the entities now known as [1472] and [2795] were all closely associated with me during my Palestine incarnation as Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

107

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE

Zermada, please give the character of the relationship between each of us at that time, and its bearing on the present, especially that between [2850] and [1472] and [2850] and [2795]. (A) We haven't [2795] or [2850]. We are giving as to what THIS entity, [2880] may do! These are THEIR problems! For this entity the problems then, as outlined, were the considerations given each for a general purpose or awakening for all, see? as a universal truth; not as an individual but as for a universal truth. This may be best illustrated in that just given. Thus the activities in the present of the entity as in relationship to each of the individuals named, - Judy, the husband, the son, the friend, - aid as a stimuli to each in that unfoldment of the knowledge, of the application of the consciousness of the power manifested in the Christ-Consciousness in the heart of each; magnifying the virtues, minimizing the faults of each, and as one to another; taking the broader view, not the individual characterization of same. 22. (Q) When, where, and what has been my association in former incarnations with the entity now known as Olga Worrell, and what is the purpose of our present friendship? (A) We haven't Worrell. 23. We are through for the present. REPORTS OF READING 2880-2 F 56 R1. 4/1/43 [2880]'s letter to EC: New York, N.Y. Dear Mr. Cayce, I think the reading is most revealing Mr. Cayce, and tells me more and more about the things that help me in growth and understanding. It is really wonderful how one can read and re-read and learn things about oneself, especially the faults which are most in need of correction. In this connection, there is one item in the reading which came last, that is really something that I recognize must be changed before I can go much further. Always I have known that it was part of my nature, and that it kept me from doing in a much better way what I attempted, but when I see it written down, and find myself faced with it, and realize that it is just that, and that alone which withholds what could be complete success, it is at once half way to being conquered. I speak of my own intenseness in approaching things. I really wear myself out with my own intensity, almost over eagerness you know. This then, has helped me very much indeed, and if just that one element has been pointed out with such clarity, the reading has served a splendid purpose for me. Not to mention the information concerning that particular experience. Yes! I too wish that I could be present at a reading. Sometime, perhaps when Judy [Julia Chandler] is going down to Virginia Beach, I may find myself able to come along with her. Who knows? With kindest regards, Very sincerely yours [2880]

R3. 7/2/84 [2880]'s letter to Mary La Croix: "DICARNEL" RAVEN ROCK STOCKTON, R.F.D. 2, NEW JERSEY 08559 To Mary La Croix - [Author of THE REMNANT] Recently a friend gave me a copy of your book, which really touched me very deeply, because I knew Edgar Cayce very well, I had Life Readings [See 2880-1 and 2880-2] from him - and worked in the Assoc. What interested me in particular was the reference (in the 3rd Chapter) to "Zermada." I am that person! If your "Judith" [1472] can (is) identified with Judy Chandler (which I do-) she and I worked together both in New York, where we lived, and at Virginia Beach. If you ask Gladys Davis Turner who was Edgar Cayce's Sect. she will remember me. Thank you for "Remnant." It is a lovely book. [signed] [2880]

JESUS‘ TEACHER: JUDY CIRCULATING FILE

Peter's mother-in-law and one of the holy women. You will give a biographical life of the entity in that day and plane of earthly existence, from entrance - and how into the earth's plane, and the entity's departure; giving the development or retarding points in such an existence. You will answer the questions, as I ask them, concerning the associations and urges from that period in the present. 2. EC: Yes, [3175]. Yes, the entity's experience in the earth plane as Martha, the sister of Peter's wife's mother. Yes, we are again given the records here of that entity now known as or called: [3175]. A lovely body! 3. In giving the experiences of the entity in the earth plane as Martha, the sister of Peter's wife's mother, it would be well that much of the happenings or history of the times be included, that there may be the more perfect understanding of the conditions and as to how and why urges from that experience apply in the experience of the entity in the present. 4. As is understood by many, there had been long a looking forward to or for the advent of the promised Messiah into the earth and there had been those various groups through one channel or another who had banded together to study the material which was handed down through the varied groups in that day and period. 5. Here we find there had been, for the mother of Martha, an experience of coming in touch with Judy [1472] who had been the first of women appointed as the head of the Essenes group who had the experience of having voices, as well as those which would be called in the present experiences communications with the influences which had been a part of man's experience from the beginning, such that the divine within man heard the experiences of those forces outside of man and communicated in voices, in dreams, in signs and symbols which had become a portion of the experience. 6. When the children of Martha's mother, Sophia, were in those periods of development these had become a part of what would be called today a playexperience for the entity, Martha. 7. For Peter's wife's mother was many years the senior of Martha but the coming of John, and the birth of Jesus, the dispensation of Jesus and John in Egypt, all had an impression or imprint upon the mind of the entity Martha, who builded in her own mind how the king and how the announcer of the king should be dressed, (as this had been a part of the experiences of the entity in other periods and thus the choice of things in this direction). 8. Then there came those great changes in the life experience of Martha. For one among those of the rulers of the synagogue sought the entity in marriage and through the individuals who made these arrangements the entity was espoused to Nicodemus. [[3021], her late husband in the present life. See 3175-1, Par. 50A saying he had been her husband in Palestine.] Through his activities, and personality, Martha learned first of what had happened to the peoples in the homes of John the Baptist and of Mary and Joseph and Jesus. 9. Thus, when there were later the experiences of those entering into activities, and then when the message was given out that Martha's older sister had been healed from a terrible fever by this man, Jesus, this brought about great changes in Nicodemus and Martha, as they had to do with the temple and the service of Edgar Cayce Readings copyright 1971, 1993-2011 by the Edgar Cayce Foundation

the high priest. Martha began the weaving of the robe that became as a part of the equipment the Master had. Thus the robe was made especially for the Master. In color it was not as the robe of the priest, but woven in the one piece with the hole in the top through which the head was to be placed, and then over the body, so that with the cords it was bound about the waist. 10. This robe Nicodemus presented then to the Master, Jesus, after the healing of the widow of Nain's son, who was a relative of Nicodemus. 11. In the activities, then, when Nicodemus went to the Master by night and there became those discussions in the home, for Nicodemus and Martha there began the communion as man and wife rather than man and his chattel or his servant. They were more on a basis of equality, not in the same proportions which were established a bit later by some of the rulers from the Roman land but more in keeping with the happenings which had brought about the activities in the Essenes group. [GD's note: Mr. [3021], husband of Martha, died in the present life of uremia.] 12. Though Martha was an Essene, Nicodemus never accepted completely the tenets or the teachings of the Essenes group. These were a part of the principles and applications of Martha. The acquaintanceships, the friendships which were established between Mary, Elizabeth and the other Mary [[2946]?], all were parts of the experience and because of the position of Martha throughout those activities she was considered rather one of the leaders, or one to whom others made appeal to have positions or conditions set in motion so that there was given more concessions to the Holy Women who followed Jesus from place to place when there were those periods of His Palestine ministry. 13. The only differences which arose were with Martha and Mary in the household of Lazarus, Martha and Mary. Because of conditions there from which Mary had returned, from the houses which were a portion of her activity in various cities, questions as to morality arose. And yet, after there were the healings, or as it was discovered how she out of whom seven devils were cast became changed, or how there were even changes then and there, we find there was a greater working together with the activities of Mary, Martha, Lazarus and Mary the mother of Jesus, Elijah and many of those others, including John Mark's mother. These were parts of the experience of the entity. 14. The entity stood, as indicated by the accomplishments of the robe from Nicodemus, as one particularly honored even by the Master. 15. During the periods of activity, during the missions after the Crucifixion and Resurrection of the Master, the entity Martha gathered with those in the upper room looking for the promise of the coming of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This, too, became a part of the activities. 16. For the entity later was among those who aided Stephen and Philip, as well as others of the various lands. For it was with these that the entity first became acquainted with Luke and Lucius who later became the heads of various organizations in other portions. These acquaintances were then rather as counsel from those to whom Luke, Lucius, Mark as the younger of the Disciples, (not Apostles, but younger of the Disciples), went for counsel.

17. For the entity was one acquainted with the law, the entity Martha, taught the law to the young ones, the children who sought knowledge. 18. The entity had its own family, two sons and one daughter. These became ministers in the church in Antioch, aiding the peoples who worked with Barnabas, and it is mentioned that one, Theopolus learned from the entity Sylvanus, and those who labored in the church in Jerusalem with John, James, Peter and the others, as a child. As a child, this one was known as Thaddeus. The daughter was wed to one of the companions of Paul, Silas [707], who was engaged in a portion of the activities with Paul. [See 3175-3, 11/5/70 Par. R7.] 19. As to the activities of the entity, then: 20. The abilities are indicated in weaving, in color. The color of the robe was pearl-gray, as would be called now, with selvage woven around the neck, as well as that upon the edge, as over the shoulder and to the bottom portion of same; no belts [bells?] no pomegranates, but those which are woven in such a manner that into the selvage portion of the bottom was woven the Thummim and Urim. These were as the balance in which judgments were passed by the priest. But these were woven, not placed upon the top of same. Neither were there jewels set in same. 21. With the persecution the entity withdrew more and more because of its associations with those in authority, but its home became more and more a place of refuge and help for all of the young of the church. 22. The entity lived to be an elderly person, something like seventy-nine years of age in the experience, and was not among those ever beaten or placed in jail, though persecuted by only the Romans, feared by those of her own peoples. 23. Ready for questions. 24. (Q) Are any of the children of that period associated with the entity in the present? (A) These will become associated with the entity - not in the present. 25. (Q) What place did I occupy at the Crucifixion? (A) As one of those upon the right hand of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the other Mary upon the left hand. 26. (Q) In the meeting on the day of Pentecost? (A) Among those who heard all of the various places announce their hearing Peter in their own tongue. 27. (Q) In what way was I acquainted with Lucius? (A) As indicated, as a teacher, as a helper, an advisor, when he was destined by being joined in the church activities in his own home areas. The entity never visited there. 28. (Q) Any other advice? (A) Keep close to those things which draw thee nearer to the Cross of Christ. For it is in Him, through Him, ye each have thy being. As He accepted the work of thine hands then, may He accept the work of thy hands in the present. 29. We are through.

REPORTS OF READING 3175-3 F 43 GD's note: 6/19/46 See report on her Life Reading to Gina Cerminara under 3175-1, Reports. 11/28/62 To this date Mrs. [3175] has remained an active, interested member of A.R.E. 11/5/70 [3175] wrote: "In the reading [3175-3] it was given that I (Martha, at that time) had two sons and one daughter. The name of the daughter was not given, but it stated that she married Silas [707] who accompanied and worked with Paul for a time. A day or so after the reading was given me I spoke to Gladys about one of the photographs high on the wall of Mr. Cayce's reading room. The photo was the one photo which held my interest. I thought it was because the man of the photo resembled someone I knew and I could not bring to mind who he was. Gladys told me the man's name and the state of his residence but that didn't help me any. Then, as she started to leave the room she turned and exclaimed, '[3175], that man was told he was Silas, so he would have been your son-in-law in your Palestine incarnation.' Since then I have thought many times of how almost unbelievable it was that I, [3175], would have a remembrance of a man I knew in another lifetime, from a PHOTOGRAPH of that man as he is in this incarnation." [GD's note: Mr. [707] did look like a Biblical character, even in this incarnation.]
