3744 Readings:  Psychic Phenomena Through the Subliminal.

The 3744 Series readings were given in answer
to metaphysical questions dealing with things of
the mind, the soul, life after death, etc.

The 3744 series form the basis for all subsequent
questioning through the readings along metaphysical lines.

Mr. 5717 wrote a short introduction
to this material 3744 series, as follows:

Lest there be undue prejudice existing in opposition
to this type of information this foreword briefly presents
the purpose of the material.

The general tendency of people to shrink from matters
of an occult nature is but an evidence of superstition,
and a lack of willingness to open their minds to receive the truth.

It may be interesting to you to be reminded that
the greatest commonsense philosophy that was ever given
to the world came from Socrates immediately
following a twenty-four hour state of trance, during which
his soul winged heavenward, whither no eye could follow.

One should ever be reminded that,
"God works in a mysterious way, His wonder to perform."
(Tenneyson's Idylls of the King)

If we will but consider open-mindedly
the effects of unseen forces upon our lives,
we will do well for our own self-development,
and the development of others
with whom we may come in contact.

The purpose of presenting this material is to assist people
in the understanding of themselves,
and the natural laws affecting their lives.

There are many influences in life
which tend to help man to understand himself,
in order that he may, through his knowledge
and understanding of self, live in greater harmony
toward his fellow man.

Such matters as Psychic Phenomena,
Astrology, Evolution, etc., are puzzling
the average mind today (1923).

We are presenting here a general way
some interesting questions and answers
relative thereto.

The mirrors of nature are ever before us,
if we will but use the senses with which we are endowed.

The reflections from the inter-conscious
(Edgar Cayce's contacts with the universal forces) are,
we believe, of sufficient interest and merit to be worthy
of careful study and serious thought.

Man apparently, knows very little of the unseen forces,
yet he is daily affected by their action.

This lack of knowledge is due largely to traditional superstition
and our fear of the real truth.

The more we really study of the dynamic power of forces unseen,
the more we develop toward the higher realms of thought,
and realize how many things affect our destiny,
of which we have little or no knowledge.

The psychic work of Edgar Cayce, during the last twenty odd years,
(1900s to 1923) has called forth such favorable comment
as to merit the presentation of these helpful truths,
given while in the superconscious state.

The logic of the answers reflects an intelligence
that will challenge the minds of our great scholars.

Such subjects as:
EVOLUTION - With reference to the human family.
ASTROLOGY - The effect of the planets on your life and mine.

And that master study of all,
the development of the human mind and soul - REINCARNATION, etc.

The puzzles of time immemorial are within these pages,
answered in such a way as to make all thinking people realize
that Shakespeare was right when he said,
"There is a destiny which shapes our ends,
Rough hew them how we will."

The purpose of this presentation is not to establish a new faith or sect,
but rather to give the greater increase in knowledge of the soul forces
for the best development of the human family.

We may agree or disagree on such matters as:
EVOLUTION and man's development.
PSYCHIC PHENOMENA - Is it real or imaginary?
ASTROLOGY - The planet's effect on our destiny.
REINCARNATION - Be it a myth or fact?
THOUGHT TRANSFERENCE - Its possibilities.
RELATIVITY OF FORCE - and its influence in life.

The fact remains that the human mind is the active principle
that governs man, for through the mind our thoughts evolve
to deeds in action, and are the elements of force
that influence our destiny in conjunction with our will.

Whither are we bound, shall only be determined by our thoughts.

For thoughts are deeds
And while their currents run
From mind to mind
The goodly work is done.

Then give more thoughts,
For they are forces strong,
That lead men on their way,
Some right, and some quite wrong.

BACKGROUND of Reading 3744-1
-----------------------------------------------
March 1993
3744-1 was recovered via local A.R.E. member, Tom Kay, who writes:

In the summer of 1991 I was visiting the home of a high school classmate
when I brought up the subject of Edgar Cayce and my many years of involvement.

To my surprise, he informed me that his father had also been actively
involved with Edgar Cayce in the 1920's.
I was astonished.

What an opportunity I had missed by not knowing this gentleman
when we both lived in Pittsburgh over 30 years before.

I had been interested in psychic phenomena while attending
the University of Pittsburgh, and could have learned of Cayce much sooner.

That evening my friend went to the attic and retrieved
his father's "Cayce file" which, at my request,
he graciously entrusted to my keeping so that I could study it.

I returned home and started to go through the file which included
numerous letters between Edgar Cayce and my classmate's father,
plus a collection of readings.

I came across a missing "oil well" reading
that a group of A.R.E. investors had searched for in vain
and has been included in the collection.

But more to my amazement, I soon discovered that not only
had his father received several personal readings,
he had also been a member of the group (Mr. [4121])
that requested the four readings that became the "[3744] series,"
and the original readings were in the file,
and almost entirely intact.

Approximately 20 pages of readings, 6 letters
and 1 prospectus not previously in the Edgar Cayce Foundation
archives are now being added to the files from this discovery.

JT's note:
With the recovery of 3744-1, the 4 Readings in the [3744] series
which were previously in E.C.F.'s custody,
were renumbered 3744-2, 3744-3, 3744-4 and 3744-5 respectively.

READING 3744-1
--------------------------------------------
(Q) What is the state of the physical forces of this body while giving this work?
(A) The physical are under subjugation of the subconscious or soul forces.
As we see in the body we have the Trinity for an entity.
We have as this:
The physical forces and mental mind;
The spirit or soul force with the superconscious or soul mind;
The spirit, that is, the mind of the soul force.

Just as the soul occupies the body in its same form and manner,
just so as the body of an individual that has passed beyond
may be seen by others in the physical plane
only when their physical or mental, material or mental are subjugated.

When this body here, of Edgar Cayce,
the physical is subjugated or laid aside,
we find the soul forces give the information,
and the body is under the subjugation of the soul and spirit forces.

(Q) What is the soul of a body?
(A) That which the Maker gave to every entity or individual in the beginning,
and which is seeking the home again or place of the Maker.

(Q) Does the soul ever die?
(A) May be banished from the Maker, not death.

(Q) What is the subconscious mind of the body?
(A) An attribute of the soul.

(Q) What position should this body get in when going into this state?
(A) There is no stated position.
The body may as well be in one position as another.
In whatever position that it becomes easier for a body or this body,
Edgar Cayce, we are to be able to put the physical under subjugation,
that position assume or take.

(Q) Why do the arms ache after the body comes
out of this state and back to normal?
(A) The last of the body re-entering as in the beginning of the personality.
The body gives off the radiation and it reaches the arms,
for they are as in contraction, as might be given from heat to metal
that governs and becomes the first and the last
to receive and give off that radiated.

(Q) Is there any way to overcome this?
(A) Should not be wanted to be overcome.
Rather the knowledge that the force is in perfect accord
with forces when resistance or when imperfect accord
is made or when suggestions are causing the deflection of truth.
We do not have the actions when in normal or physical, material normal.

(Q) Give word for word what should be used to take a reading properly
and to secure the best results, that is, to cause this body
to go into this state, while he is in this state,
and how to bring him out of this state and back to normal?
(A) The body is only perfect normal while in this state.
Those on the physical plane should first know that,
that which will reach the nearer accord or harmony
between the individuals through which the information
is attempted to be obtained, that is, the correct manner,
as we have here with this individual and entity.

The correct, and this case would be word for word as this:
"Now the body is assuming its normal forces and will be able
and will give such information as is desired of it at the present time.
The body, physically, will be perfectly normal and will give
that information now,"
then the name, the suggestion of what is desired,
and the minds must be in perfect accord without
the vibrations being abnormal.

When the information is obtained, the body would then say:
"Now the body will be so equalized as to overcome all those things
that might hinder or prevent from being and giving its best mental,
spiritual and physical self.
Now perfectly normal and balanced, wake up."

(Q) Should the body wake up immediately or wait a minute and a half or so?
(A) Just as we have given.
When the conditions assumed this position the body of itself is normal
to be awake whether it be moments or weeks or minutes.

(Q) When is the correct time to say what you have given?
(A) As the body assumes or passes into this presence here
or this state as here.

(Q) What kind of questions should be asked?
(A) Only those that are in accord with spiritual and soul forces
and laws, which are as these:
That which is willing to assist or to make the All better,
and by better we mean, relief from pain, suffering of any kind
or character without the expense of another individual.

(Q) Should all questions be positive or negative?
(A) Positive. Negative gives deflection.

(Q) Is the information always absolutely correct?
(A) In so far as it is in accord with the soul forces or matter,
and so long as the information desiring to be obtained
is in that channel or so long as there is harmony between
the one and the other, just as we have given,
reflection so far as the deflection is made by the individual
through their own suggestion guides or directs the information
as it comes to the physical plane.

The soul or subconscious self of this body, Edgar Cayce,
is in the state of being guided by the individual
who makes the suggestions, and so long as the suggestions
are in accord and the mind of the individual is kept in accord,
correct - shaded just that much.

(Q) Is it best that one person take the readings or more than one?
(A) Only one can make them correctly.

(Q) Should there be a variety of persons making the suggestions?
(A) Only one person may.
Deflections come more when individual is governed or turned aside
by others.

There may be at different times more than one.
In the making of an individual, as we find the body here
on the physical plane, the entity meaning the whole, you see,
is made of both the opposite, or positive and negative poles.

The body is not complete without the whole or both.
We find this shown in the construction of man in many ways
and is easily manifested to those who will only read
the perfect union in all forces, whether of the physical,
mental, material, soul or spirit, is when the two are combined
in the body, hence in this individual personality and individuality,
the negative often the truer, better information when in this condition.
Find that individual.

(Q) In what manner can the person be chosen
to take the readings to obtain the best results?
(A) It is given to the individual, whom obtains any vision of the
super or soul plane to know when they are in accord with that individual.
Sex as known on the material does not necessarily mean that a body
is positive or negative, but only as shown from the soul
or subconscious or spiritual plane.

(Q) When the case is such that a part or a certain point in a reading
is not clear or lost to the person taking the reading
why is it not possible to have repeated?
(A) When once past from the reflection as is shown in the first here,
we find we have gone beyond that point or reflection and with
the forcing of the condition we do not reach the point
from which the reflection was first made.

(Q) Is the psychic phenomena an inherited trait?
(A) Not necessarily so unless the spirit or soul of the forces
of those directly connected are transplanted in the one.

The law of attraction is positive and remains with one.

The material attraction is to be to those of the same form, as to
whether the phenomena is produced by hereditary is far from being correct.

Law of attraction would only draw.
See, we have in this plane or sphere certain immutable laws.

We have those that may be deflected by coming in contact with each other.
The law that is unchangeable remains and is only deflected.

(Q) Can anyone else do this work besides Edgar Cayce?
(A) We have no work ahead of us.

(Q) I mean the psychic phenonema or readings?
(A) All can do it.

(Q) How can this work be developed so that all can do it?
(A) All can already do it.

As to the degree of the development,
only the law of concentration through subjugation,
as we have the law here, as this we illustrate conditions:

Water occupies a certain place without changing of form.
It always occupies that same place, though it is pliable.
Air may be compressed without changing form,
only needing the opportunities of the expression of its flexibility.

One is no more flexible than the other,
though air can occupy with water,
same as we have with individuals in this sphere.

With the subjugation of one of the elements
or of the Trinity of the individual, those characters,
those powers, those forces, those laws
of the other portion of body are brought out into play
and only need the opportunity of their self-expression.

(Q) Is this work harmful or detrimental to the physical
and mental forces of this body?
(A) No. It may be abused as any force,
either of the physical, mental, soul or spiritual force of the body.

It may be made to become destructive by the misapplication,
as we would have in just those elements as we have shown
by the changing of form.

Only a very thin veil between sublime and ridiculous,
thinner between good and evil,
whether applied to the physical, mental, soul
or spiritual elements of the physical or material body
as is manifested on this plane with its attributes.

The highest attributes of the material body being
what is called on this plane, the senses and the body
is given the vehicle or mode of expressing the fundamentals
or findings of its senses or psychic or soul force
is expressed to the mental or physical plane
through one of these senses, or made manifested thereby.

The destructive forces may be made to govern
or control any or all these senses in the physical.

With the subjugation of one in the material we find some one
or all of the others become highly attuned
or more sensitive, the same as in the developing of those
inclined by the forces, either of the laws
being followed by attraction upon by material ability or forces
as applied by the universal force in the attraction
of other bodies or spheres governing the plane and under
the force in which the body takes on sphere,
its scope of living.

In this manner the developing of the psychic or soul forces
through one of the senses so governed may be developed
to good or evil, as is classified in this sphere.

Evil is only evil to him, who thinks it evil or to what sense
it has become applied.
All is good as used to the developing of any force
under which its law applies.

(Q) How should this work be used to be the most successful
and to do the most good?
(A) As has been applied and under the laws governing force
as is shown in just what has been given to this individual body,
Edgar Cayce, we are speaking of, as known on this plane,
though this has covered eight generations.

We have the forces as applied through that of the healing
of physical ailments and that may border on to ailments
of the soul and mental and spiritual forces.

(Q) Is this work to be perpetuated?
(A) That is its material force, its universal force, see.

(Q) What is the significance of the dream, which has come to this body
so often in past years, the dream of climbing a hill with a lady?
(A) All in this manifestation of forces from the universal force,
only in symbolic forms.

The two as shown represent the whole or entity that must exist
for the better forces in the body, whether for secular or psychic,
soul or spiritual reasons.

None enter the presence of the Maker without its entity,
hence the many laws and forces as shown in manifestated ways
in the material world.

The hill or descending only represents only as the living, way,
with its pointing foliage as toward the heavens, almost up,
only with secular ideas.

The down road is followed, though strewn with the beauties
of the universal forces in that covering the earth.

The water or the living way as past with the beauty of all
reacknowledged in the purity of the element itself.

The messenger, the wavering of all the forces that secular element
must enter in while this plane is being lead for the development
of the soul forces.

The mud and way representing that, the forces may be lead off
from the better ways.

The wall that is to be scaled being that which all must overcome,
and that as the ones chosen to assist in mounting to the better ways
do not lend their assistance they must be cut off, for we find as in this:

Always the gold or that of the secular nature follows the other companion
well in the one scaling to the top.

The body in this work gives of the forces as is made manifested
to the elemental forces as vibrates through from the superconscious
or subconscious or soul forces as by the touch, by suggestion,
which produces the thought as given or made manifest in words.

(Q) What should be the environment of this body
when he is normal and when in this state?
(A) In the normal physical forces of this body,
there should be the better forces and elements about this body,
that which is in keeping with the work that is being attempted
to be done - sufficient of the relaxing of the mental forces
to keep the balance in the system.

Remember that always that of the ordinary or not too strenuous forces
of every character are the better elements with which to be surrounded
- not prohibited of or licentious, but that of the mental or well balanced man
or individual gives of the best under those conditions,
whether in the plane of mental matter, physical matter, spiritual
or soul or psychic forces.

No one need to be expected to obtain the best under strain or by pressure.
Only elemental forces are changed by too much pressure or too lax conditions.

(Q) How should the body govern his regularity of meals?
(A) Meet the needs as they present themselves.

(Q) Should this body eat very much meats?
(A) Not an excess of anything.
Meats are not good for the body, only in moderation.

(Q) How are the number of readings the body is able
to give in any one day to be determined?
(A) By the physical forces as manifested and by
the conditions as they present themselves.

An excess of any one thing or a laxness
of any one thing is not good physically,
spiritually, mentally, morally, financially or any other.

(Q) Is the word "reading" proper for the usage
of the information given?
(A) Words mean nothing. Very good. Well as any other.

(Q) In what manner of explanation may this work be presented
to other people so that they may understand it clearly?
(A) Any manner or form of work of any nature only given
credence by the results obtained.
With the results all are interested in, present those.

(Q) Does the information given through these readings
come from the subjective to the objective mind?
(A) We have just given it.

(Q) Mr. Cayce, will you please tell me the difference
between the subjective and objective mind?
(A) One is an attribute of the physical, the other of the soul.

(Q) Have the number of readings given in the last three weeks
in Dayton been too much of a strain on the physical health of this body?
(A) As we have given.
The influence of any work depends upon the surrounding
under which that is done.

The work is not a physical strain on the body.
It is the normal effect only.
The strain comes between the subjective and objective forces
within the body, and only by the right conducting of same
can this body be protected from the unbalancing forces between the two.

The fear to be is not of physical but of mental strain as known
in the material world and forces.

Those under which the body has been for the last three weeks
has not been too many, for the whole physical force gains strength.

Watch for the development in the mental when correctly
and incorrectly conducted.

Yes, we have the body here and these conditions.
We have had this before, you see.

The elemental forces in these we find show in their relativity
to those that come in contact with this at this time,
and through those, the reflexes are given to the physical plane,
as we have given here, you see.

(Q) What is the difference in suggestion to the subconscious mind
and the conscious mind?
(A) Suggestion to the conscious mind only brings to the mental plane,
those forces that are of the same character and the conscious
is the suggestion action.

In that of suggestion to the subconscious mind gives its reflection
or reaction from the universal forces or mind or superconscious forces.

(Q) What is meant by ailments of the soul, mental and spiritual forces
on which this work may border?
[Note: this question was "crossed out" in the original manuscript
and also appears below.]
(A) By the suggestion just as given may be waived by the forces
that are brought to bear on the subconscious to reach the conscious mind,
just as we have in a purely mechanical form.

Any object or wood, especially, projected into water appears bended;
just so with the reflection from suggestions to the subconscious
to reach the conscious or mental forces appear bended in their action
or in the manifestation of their action to the physical
or conscious forces of individuals.

(Q) Just what is meant by force and forces?
(A) Depending upon the conditions under which incentive or that,
which is being acted upon and that which is acting.

As we have in the body of a living physical being,
we have a body made up of many atoms,
and their relation to each other depends upon the force
as is given in each part to work upon or in or through the system.

In the nerve system we find that of the force of physical matter
or subconscious or soul matter, of superconscious or spirit matter,
all receiving a force, as illustrated, we would have it here:

When any object or injury comes to a portion of the body,
then the nerves transmit that to the physical or conscious brain
to be removed; the forces of all of the elementals or that is,
of the parts of the body are brought into play;
that which carries, that which replenishes,
that which comes, that is force or forces, as may be.

Or as we would have in the one word to express all force:

That which is the spirit of any object, whether animate or inanimate,
physical or material, that of the divine, which carries all force.

We only have to take into consideration,
but the relativity of the condition, position, time,
place as to which or what element of force is implied
in giving the elements of force from the subconscious force
to the conscious force.

In this also we may see how the correct reflection
may appear bended.

(Q) Is it possible for this body, Edgar Cayce, in this state
to communicate with anyone who has passed into the spirit world?
(A) The spirit of all that have passed from the physical plane
remain about the plane until their development carry them onward
or are returned for their development here.

When they are in the plane of communication
or remain within this sphere, any may be communicated with.

There are thousands about us here at present.

(Q) In the subconscious giving this information when in this state,
how are we to know on the physical plane from whence
and from which condition it gives this information?
(A) Just as we know as to the force implied from whatever element
the force is given, we must know from that force the information
is obtained, deflected only by the expression of the individual,
whom obtains the information, by the results obtained in the end.

Just as we have in the diagnosis is for the betterment or advancement
of the individual, just as the subconscious that communicates
to the physical for with the physical submerged, a universal condition.

It may be obtained from all or in part, just as needs for the individual.

None is gained from one individual, but as there are good personages,
there are good individuals, not necessarily within the same manifested body
- just so in the spirit force there are good and there are bad personages
still reflected.

As these give rise to the expression and all give expression
of experience of themselves of the entity through which
the information is obtained gives that deflection as we may find
with the surroundings of those not good, we will find the results
in the same.

Results in diagnosis give of the forces whether from the spirit forces
are good or material forces are good, then judge.

Just as the seed of truth is ever the same,
and its productions are ever by the same,
though some may fall in fallow land
or some may fall in stony land.

(Q) What is meant by the banishment of a soul? from its Maker?
(A) Of the will as given in the beginning to choose for self,
as in the earthly plane, all insufficient matter is cast onto Saturn.

To work out its own salvation as would be termed in the word,
the entity or individual banishes itself or its soul, which is its entity.

(Q) What is meant by the re-entering of the personality as in the beginning?
(A) The personality is that as known on the physical plane
when in the subconscious or when the subconscious controls,
the personality is removed from the individual,
and only that of the other forces in the Trinity occupies the body
and use only its elements to communicate as in this body here,
as we have spoken of.

With the submerging of the conscious to the subconscious
or superconscious, the personality of the body or earthly portions
are removed and lie above the other body.

They may be seen here, hence the distributing of those conditions
brings distress to the other portions of the entity or individual.

With the return then we find the personality leaves those impressions
with those portions of the body, as we have given for the arm force here,
you see.

(Q) To what place or state does the subconscious pass
to receive this information it gives?
(A) Just here in the same sphere as when the spirit or soul or spirit
and soul are driven or removed from the body or person.

(Q) What is meant by negative questions giving deflection?
(A) With positive and negative, or as elements are as unchangeable laws,
as we have given, as the Creator or the First Cause is all positive
that which is made negative.

(Q) What determines whether a body be positive or negative?
(A) Just as we have given,
is it of a creative force,
or it the creative force?
Is it the force producing or,
is it that produced?
Just as we have in sex force known on this plane:
Man, the producer,
woman, that produced.
One positive, the other negative.
That is the law.

(Q) What is meant by ailments of the soul,
mental and spiritual forces on which this work may border?
(A) Mental is of the physical, which with its relative forces
connecting the soul force and unbalancing of the truth
may perform on the soul forces that which
brings abnormal results to physical and soul matter.

The correction of these only means that it, the work,
assists the individual or the entity to find itself and
to follow in that way that would lead that individual to its own better self.

Each individual must leads its own life,
whether in this sphere or in the other planes.

The environment makes or performs the variations
in whatever it may enter, else we would have no redemption in the blood.

(Q) How can this body go about the establishing
of a hospital at any place at the present time?
(A) Only has to choose where that this institution
or hospital is to be located, and then call on the forces
to direct the manner and means of the physical show
or building of such a place.

(Q) Does the environment have any bearing
on the results obtained when the body is in this state?
(A) Environment bends the weakest and the strongest
not in the same means, but we have given the
environment carried on to the re-entering of the entity.

(Q) Is it a strain on the person, who makes the suggestions
or conducts the readings, either mentally or physically?
(A) When properly done, no.
Each individual has its own set laws of strain
on physical or mental forces.
With the conducting of the universal force or law,
one correctly dividing should gain strength.

If not balanced correctly, they may make it a detriment
to their physical or mental force.

It is their own making, just given strength.

Just as the physical of the body, the more often it enters
the presence of the universal force, gains strength,
that is, when done in moderation.

Moderation is as we have given.

The pivot, as it were, of all force, strength or weakness,
high or low, no excess in any direction good for any force.

(Q) Why are there times when the forces say
"We are through", when they haven't completed the work attempting to be done?
(A) Being deflected to, to force an extent by question
or environment as to cause the distress to the connection
between the conscious and the subconscious
or superconscious forces.

A digression of the law forces the issue before it becomes
a transgression of the law.

Law is love, love is law.

(Q) What persons now in Dayton, Ohio
should be associated with Edgar Cayce in this work?
(A) These will not be given from this plane.

(Q) Why do the forces sometime answer questions
after they say they are through?
(A) Suggestion by the director or by environment from those present
have again entered within the law, as we have given.
That makes the digression.

(Q) Why can one individual get a better reading than another?
(A) For the same reason as we have given of how it becomes
a hardship on an individual to be or act as director.

The one nearer in accord or keeping the negative force
that the positive question may be given to the forces keep
or give the better force.

(Q) Is memory thought, or thought memory?
(A) With the evolving of the individual, the thought becomes
a part of the memory as evolved through the developing of the entity.

In memory, we may have from either plane,
in physical or mental speaking - they are separate.

In that of spirit and soul forces, thought and memory
are as the entity.

If not with spirit, thought and memory depending then upon
the plane from which the question is approached.

Physically, memory and thought are not synonymous,
neither are they of the same beginning in physical forces.

In that of the soul and spirit force,
they become one and the same in evolution.

(Q) In the physical plane, do the thoughts of a person
of another affect the other person either mentally or physically?
(A) Depending upon the development of the individual
to whom the thought may be directed.

The possibilities of the developing of thought transference
is first being shown, evolution, you see.

The individuals from this plane will and are developing
this as the senses were and are developed.

READING 3744-2
--------------------------------------------
(Q) Please give a definition of psychic phenomena.
(A) PSYCHIC means of the Spirit or Soul,
for cooperation of the Phenomena, or manifestation
of the workings of those forces within the individual,
or through the individual, from whom such phenomena,
or of such phases of the working of the spirit and soul,
to bring the actions of these to the physical plane.

Phenomena meaning only the act itself,
brought to the attention, or manifested in such a way
as to bring the attention of an individual to the work itself.
(See 900-19 for expansion on this.)

PSYCHIC in the broader sense meaning spirit, soul,
or the imagination of the mind, when attuned to
the various phases of either of these two portions
of the entity of an individual, or from the entity of others
who are passed into the other planes than the physical or material;
yet in the broader sense, the Phenomena of Psychic forces
is as material as the forces that become visible
to the material or physical plane. (See 900-19).

Psychic forces cover many various conditions,
depending upon the development of the individual,
or how far distant the entity is from the plane of spirit and soul forces.

PSYCHIC means not understood from the physical,
or material, or conscious mind.

PSYCHIC means that of the mind presenting the soul
and the spirit entity as manifested in the individual mind.

Then taking the phases of that force,
we find all Psychic Phenomena or force,
presented through one of the acknowledged five senses
of the physical or material body,
- these being used as the mode of manifesting to individuals.

Hence we would have in the truest sense,
PSYCHIC, meaning the expression to the material world
of the latent, or hidden sense of the soul and spirit forces,
whether manifested from behind,
or in and through the material plane.

(Q) How many kinds of Psychic Phenomena
are known to mankind at the present time?
(A) Almost as many as there are individuals,
each entity being a force, or world within itself.

Those of the unseen forces become then the knowledge
of the individual, the power of expression,
or of giving the knowledge obtained,
being of an individual matter.

(Q) Definition of the word MIND.
(A) MIND is the active force in an animate object;
that is the spark, or image of the Maker.

MIND is the factor that is in direct opposition of WILL.

MIND being that control of, or being the spark of the Maker,
the WILL, the individual when we reach the plane of man.

MIND being and is the factor governing the contention,
or the interlaying space, if you please,
between the physical to the soul,
and the soul to the spirit forces within the individual
or animate forces.

We have the manifestation of this within the lowest order of animal creation.

These are developed as the mind is developed,
both by the action of all of the senses of the body,
as we have them developed in man.

MIND is that that reasons the impressions from the senses,
as they manifest before the individual.

MIND is the active principle that governs man.

MIND is a factor, as the senses are of the mind,
and as the soul and spirit are factors of the entity,
one in all, all in one.

We are speaking from the normal plane, of course.

As the impressions are reached to the storehouse
of the body, the mind is that factor, that principle,
that portion that either segregates, correlates
or divides the impression to the portion needed,
to develop the entity or physical force toward
the spark or infinite force, giving the life force to the body.

The mind may be classified into the two forces,
- that between the physical and soul,
and that between the soul and spirit force.

We see the manifestations of this,
rather than the object or the mind itself.

We find this always manifested through one of the senses,
the same as we find the Psychic forces a manifestation of the soul and spirit;
the MIND a manifestation of the physical.

With the division of the mind force as given,
we see why in the physical plane individuals
become misunderstood or misrepresented.

They do not reach the same manifestations
from other individuals.
Hence the expression,
"They are all of one mind."
"To do good, they become of one mind,
To do evil they are many."

The nearer approach the mind comes to the divide,
between the soul and spirit forces,
the nearer we become to that infinite force
that guides when it is allowed to the individual's actions day by day.

Definition of the words "CONSCIOUS MIND":

The CONSCIOUS means that that is able to be manifested
in the physical plane through one of the senses.
Definition of the word "sub-conscious mind":

That lying between the soul and spirit forces within the entity,
and is reached more thoroughly when the conscious mind
is under subjugation of the soul forces of the individual or physical body.

We may see manifestation in those of the so-called spiritual minded people.
The manifestation of the subconscious in their action.

That portion of the body, better known as the one that propagates
or takes care of the body, - physical, mental, moral or what not,
when it is not able to take care of itself.

SUB-CONSCIOUS is UNCONSCIOUS force.
This may be seen in every nerve end, in every muscular force.

Subconscious action may be brought into manifestation
by the continual doing of certain acts in the physical plane,
so the body becomes unconscious of doing the acts that it does.

(Q) How can we best develop our sub-conscious minds
to be of the most benefit to our fellow men while
in the Physical plane of living?
(A) By developing the mental or physical mind toward
the uplift of mankind toward the Maker, leaving those things
behind that so easily beset the physical body.

By the training of the mental, through physical force,
the sub-conscious urge, as we have given,
the faculty of doing in the right or direct way,
and lending assistance to the uplift of all.

The THOUGHT held against an individual directs the mind
either of masses or classes, whether toward good or bad.

THOUGHT is reached through the physical forces,
and by becoming a part of the physical or conscious mind
either lends the strength of sub-conscious forces
or allows the subconscious to direct.

Not that the physical mind gives strength,
but by allowing the sub-conscious to direct,
and not building the barrier between to be overcome.

That to be overcome might as well be met in this plane,
for it will have to be met before we can gain the entrance
to the Holy of Holies.

This is the manner in which to train or conduct the physical
to lend the assistance to the subconscious forces
to direct and give the help the world or populace needs.

(Q) Why do women usually show more interest
in Psychic matters than men do?
(A) For their minds, women, are filled, or left vacant
for the study of spiritual forces more than men,
for the same reason as we have given.

What their minds fill or feed upon for development
toward Psychic forces comes from the subconscious
or the spirit and soul minds.

(Q) Is it possible to give information through Psychic Readings
that will lead to the cure of diseases now known as incurable?
(A) It is. That which IS was produced from some force.
Nothing is greater than the force producing it.
THAT may be counteracted.
The condition that exists in the physical bodies
we find all produced by conditions that may be met.

There are in truth no incurable conditions,
though the condition may be changed,
or the mode of the plane's existence changed.

That which exists is and was produced from a first cause,
and may be met or counteracted, or changed,
for the condition is the breaking of a law,
and the healing forces will of necessity become
the compliance with other laws that meet
the needs of the condition.

The healing depends upon the individual,
and the attitude taken toward conditions
from all manner of ways, or of the perception
or consciousness of force that may be manifested
through the individual.

As to the Psychic forces, only can give that condition that is,
or produced, and the compliance with the law that may make
a given condition.

The whole rests then with such an individual,
and its conditions as is capable of being manifested through itself.

Psychic Readings for conditions, as given,
then may be of assistance in the understanding
of the law to be met or complied with.

The evasion of a law only puts conditions off, and must eventually be met.

(Q) Why do so many people ridicule the idea of good
being obtained through Psychic Readings?
(A) Lack of understanding of law governing so called Psychic force, or powers.
The lack of understanding is lack of consciousness being brought
to the individual of potential powers that are manifest in and through
psychic or occult forces.

Many are caused by the lack of the proper usage of the knowledge
or understanding obtained through such force,
for the incorrect use of such knowledge may
and would bring destructive elements.

The lack then of discernment between that which is of physical,
physical - material, material - and that of soul and spirit,
which is in reality the life giving force in any object.

The only real life being that which in the material or physical plane
is called PSYCHIC.

The ridicule then being only that of mis-application or mis-understanding
or mis-use of the condition that is to be met, and that with which it is to be met.

Ridicule of such forces rather than being condemned,
those are to be pitied, for they must eventually reach that condition
where the soul awakens to the elements that are necessary
for the developing, for without the psychic force in the world
the physical would be in that condition of "hit or miss",
or that as a ship without a rudder or pilot,
for that element that is the building force in each
and every condition is the spirit or soul of that condition
which is the psychic or occult force.

No healing is perfected without some psychic force exerted.

For, as we would have, whether of operative or of medicinal forces,
or of directing of organic forces to produce within themselves,
that necessary to compete with conditions found within the body
in distress or disease.

The force represented, that counteracts, is nothing more or less
than the active force exerted in psychic force, as has been outlined
in which is psychic force.

All of the elements that go to make up the expressions reached
to the mental forces of an individual, are actions of the psychic forces
from another individual, and is the collaboration of truth as found
in the individual or entity expressing, or manifesting itself,
one with the other. (See 900-25)

Hence, the force in the violation of law of curative forces,
for mental or physical conditions existing within the man.

(Q) What period in the world's history were Psychic Readings given?
(A) That as given among the Chaldeans was first used
as the means of assistance to the physical bodies.

Not as applied in the present day usage of such force or Phenomena,
but that as the natural means of expression of that unseen force
of the soul and spirit of an earthly individual manifesting with
and through the material or physical body, and giving
that life giving flow of such manifestations,
nearly four thousand years before the Prince of Peace came.

(Q) Should Psychic Readings be used for purposes other than
for the assistance of curing human ills?
(A) That knowledge of all universal force that may be obtained
through the psychic force is that of man's individual condition
to be dealt with.

All force that may be obtained from such source,
and not used as self-aggrandizement,
or for the selfish purposes of the physical attributes,
may be, should be, used and given to the world.

The understanding of all laws, for that is the law,
the understanding of the law pertaining to any given condition.

Then we would give any condition that may be met through such knowledge
without the advantage taken of another individual,
through its lack of such law or knowledge should be used.

The use of psychic force by any individual,
is only the using of that spiritual law that makes one free,
but not freedom to take advantage, no more than that the Gods
(See 3744-5) take advantage of the knowledge
of man's weaknesses to use them as means of destructive forces.

Through man, all law to the physical plane or material plane
is made manifest, but the manifestation is of the compliance
as made with the law.

The knowledge of such gained through psychic force
cannot be abused without receiving the same condition under which
this puts such a condition upon the individual.

(Q) Give a clear definition of the word faith with reference to faith
as required by one who is sick and desirous of being helped
through Psychic Readings.
(A) In what faith means to the individual,
as we have faith in the substance, or that which is hoped for,
with the evidences from things seen or of things unseen.

As in this, the desire of the heart or issues of life to be the assistance
not from self, but even as the Maker gives, as is given that:
Love is law.
Law is love. Love is giving.
Giving is as God, the Maker.

READING 3744-3
--------------------------------------------
(Q) From what source does this body Edgar Cayce derive its information?
(See also in 294-1)
(A) The information as given or obtained from this body
is gathered from the sources from which the suggestion
may derive its information.

In this state the conscious mind becomes subjugated
to the subconscious, superconscious or soul mind;
and may and does communicate with like minds,
and the subconscious or soul force becomes universal.
From any subconscious mind information may be obtained,
either from this plane or from the impressions as left
by the individuals that have gone on before,
as we see a mirror reflecting direct that which is before it.

It is not the object itself, but that reflected, as in this:
The suggestion that reaches through to the subconscious or soul,
in this state, gathers information from that as reflected
from what has been or is called real or material,
whether of the material body or of the physical forces,
and just as the mirror may be waved or bended to reflect
in an obtuse manner, so that suggestion to the soul forces
may bend the reflection of that given; yet within,
the image itself is what is reflected and not that of some other.

Through the forces of the soul, through the mind of others as presented,
or that have gone on before; through the subjugation of the physical forces
in this manner, the body obtains the information.

(Q) In obtaining this information by suggestion, does this body gain
this information from the director or from the body directed to?
(A) From the subconscious forces, which become universal
by the natural laws governing relativity of all force:
whether spirit, soul or physical, and the information is obtained
through that connection between subconscious soul or spirit forces
as directed, and directed to.

Suggestion being that manner in which the direction is given.

Hence, how the reflections, either direct or wavered, are obtained,
just as the subconscious force of the director is held in that direction
the information is obtained and in the manner that it,
the director's subconscious wavers, the reflections becomes
in the same manner wavered.

(Q) In giving diagnosis of the physical body,
how are internal conditions reflected?
(A) By relativity of force.

(Q) What is the state of the physical forces of this body
while giving this work?
(A) They, the physical, are under subjugation of the subconscious
or soul forces.

As we see in the body we have the trinity for an entity.
We have as this:
the physical forces and mental mind;
we have the spirit or soul force with the superconscious or soul mind;
then we have the spirit that is the mind of the soul force,
just as the soul occupies the body in its same form and manner.
Just as the body of an individual that has passed beyond
may be seen by others in the physical plane only when
their physical or mental, material or mental are subjugated
like this body here we are speaking of, Edgar Cayce,
the physical is subjugated or laid aside, we find the soul forces
give the information, and the body is under the subjugation
of the soul and spirit forces.

(Q) What is the soul of a body?
(A) That which the Maker gave to every entity or individual in the beginning,
and which is seeking the home or place of the Maker.

(Q) Does the soul ever die?
(A) May be banished from the Maker, not death.

(Q) What is the subconscious mind of the body?
(A) An attribute of the soul or mind of the soul.

(Q) What is the difference in suggestion to the subconscious mind
and the conscious mind?
(A) Suggestion to the conscious mind only brings to the mental plane
those forces that are of the same character and the conscious
is the suggestion in action.

In that of suggestion to the subconscious mind,
it gives its reflection or reaction from the universal forces
or mind or superconscious forces.

By the suggestion just as given may be wavered by the forces
that are brought to bear on the subconscious to reach
the conscious mind, just as we have in a purely mechanical form.
(See 900-59)

Any object, or wood especially, projected into water, appears bent;
just so with the reflection from suggestions to the subconscious
to reach the conscious or mental forces appear bent in their action,
or in the manifestation of their action, to the physical or conscious
forces of individuals.

(Q) Just what is meant by force and forces?
(A) Depending upon the conditions under which incentive
or that which is being acted upon and that which is acting.

As we have in the body of a living physical being,
we have a body made up of many atoms,
and their relations to each other depends upon the force
as is given in each part to work upon, or in or through the system.

In the nerve system we find that of the force of physical matter
or subconscious or soul matter, or superconscious or spirit matter,
all receiving a force, as illustrated, we would have it here;
when any object or injury comes to a portion of the body,
then the nerves transmit that to the physical or conscious brain
to be removed; the forces of all of the elements or, that is,
of the parts of the body are brought into play.

That which carries, that which replenishes, that which comes,
such force or forces, as may be.

Or as we would have in the one word to express all force;
that which is the spirit of any object, (See 900-59)
whether animate or inanimate, physical or material,
that of the Divine which carries all force.

We only have to take into consideration the relativity of
the condition, position, time and place as to which
or what element of force is implied in giving the elements of force
from the subconscious force to the conscious force.

In this also we may see how the correct reflections may appear bent.

(Q) Is it possible for this body, Edgar Cayce, in this state,
to communicate with anyone who has passed into the spirit world?
(A) The spirit of all that have passed from the physical plane remain
about the plane until their development carry them onward
or are returned for their development here,
when they are in the plane of communication or remain within this sphere,
any may be communicated with.

There are thousands about us here at present.

(Q) If the subconscious is giving this information when in this state,
how are we to know on the physical plane from whence
and from which condition it gives this information?
(A) Just as we know as to the force implied
from whatever element the force is given,
we must know from that force the information is obtained,
deflected only by the expression of the individual
who obtains the information.

By the results obtained in the end.

Just as we have in the diagnosis is for the betterment
or advancement of the individual,
just as the subconscious that communicates to the physical,
for with the physical submerged, a universal condition.

It may be obtained from all or in part, just as needs for the individual.
None is gained from one individual, but as there are good personages,
there are good individuals, not necessarily within the same manifested body
- just so in spirit force there are good and there are bad personages still reflected.

As those give rise to the expression and all give expression of experience
of themselves of the entity through which the information
is obtained gives that deflection as we may find with the surroundings
of those not good, we will find the results in the same.

Results in diagnosis give of the forces, whether the spirit forces
are good or material forces are good.
Then judge.
Judge as the seed of truth is ever the same,
and its production are ever by the same,
though some may fall in fallow land or some may fall in stony land.

(Q) What is meant by banishment of a soul from its Maker?
(A) Of the will as given in the beginning to choose for self
as in the earthly plane, all insufficient matter is cast unto Saturn.

To work out his own salvation as would be termed in the word,
the entity or individual banishes itself, or its soul, which is its entity.

(Q) What is meant by the re-entering of the personality as in the beginning?
(A) The personality is that as known on the physical plane in the subconscious
or when the subconscious controls, the personality is removed from the individual,
and only that other forces in the trinity occupying the body and using only
its elements to communicate as in this body here, we have spoken of.

With the submerging of the conscious to the subconscious,
the personality of the body or earthly portions are removed
and lie above the other body.

They may be seen here.
Hence the disturbing of those conditions bring distress
to the other portions of the entity or individual.

With the return then we find the personality leaves those impressions
with those portions of the body, as we have given for the arm force here, you see.

(Q) To what place or state does the subconscious pass
to receive this information it gives?
(A) Just here in the same sphere as when the spirit or soul
or spirit and soul are driven or removed from the body or persons.

(Q) What is meant by ailment of the soul, mental and spiritual forces
on which this work may border?
(A) Mental is of the physical which with its relative forces
connecting the soul force and unbalancing of the truth
may perform on the soul forces that which brings
abnormal results to physical and soul matter.
(See 900-59)

The correction of these only means that it, the work,
assists the individual or the entity to find itself
and to follow in that way that would lead that individual
to its own better self.

Each individual must lead his own life, whether in this sphere
or in the other planes.

The environment makes or performs the variations
in whatever it may enter, else we would have no redemption
in the blood.

(Q) Does the environment have any bearing on the results
obtained when the body is in this state?
(A) Environment bends the weakest and the strongest.

Not in the same means, but we have given the environment
carried on to the re-entering of the entity.

(Q) Is memory thought, or thought memory?
(A) With the evolving of the individual, the thought becomes
a part of the memory as evolved through the developing
of the entity.

In memory, we may have either plane, in physical
or mental speaking - they are separate.

In that of spirit and soul forces, thought and memory
depending then upon the plane from which the question
is approached.

Physically, memory and thought are not synonymous,
neither are they of the same beginning in physical forces.

In that of the soul and spirit force, they become one and the same
in evolution. (See 900-233)

(Q) In the physical plane, do the thoughts of another person affect
a person either mentally or physically?
(A) Depending upon the development of the individual
to whom the thought may be directed.

The possibilities of the developing of thought transference
is first being shown, evolution, you see.

The individuals of this plane will and are developing this
as the senses were and are developed.

READING 3744-4
-----------------------------------------------

(Q) Please give a definition of the word astrology.
(A) That position in space about our own earth that is under the control
of the forces that are within the sphere of that control,
and all other spheres without that control.
That is astrology, the study of those conditions.

In the beginning, our own plane, the Earth, was set in motion.
The planning of other planets began the ruling of the destiny
of all matters as created, just as the division of waters
was ruled and is ruled by the Moon in its path about the earth;
just so as the higher creation as it begun is ruled by its action
in conjunction with the planets about the earth.

The strongest force used in the destiny of man is the Sun first,
then the closer planets to the earth, or those that are coming
to ascension at the time of the birth of the individual.

But let it be understood here,
no action of any planet or the phases of the sun,
the moon or any of the heavenly bodies
surpass the rule of man's will power,
the power given by the Creator of man,
in the beginning, when he became a living soul,
with the power of choosing for himself.

The inclinations of man are ruled by the planets under which he is born,
for the destiny of man lies within the sphere or scope of the planets.

(Q) Do the planets have an effect on the life of every individual born?
(A) They have.

Just as this earth's forces were set in motion, and about it,
those forces that govern the elements, elementary so,
of the earth's sphere or plane, and as each comes
under the influence of those conditions, the influence
is to the individual without regards to the will,
which is the developing factor of man,
in which such is expressed through the breath of the Creator,
and as one's plane of existence is lived out from one sphere
to another they come under the influence of those
to which it passes from time to time.
 
In the sphere of many of the planets within the same solar system,
we find they are banished to certain conditions in developing
about the spheres from which they pass,
and again and again and again return from one to another
until they are prepared to meet the everlasting Creator
of our entire Universe, of which our system is only a very small part.
(See 900-25)
 
Be not deceived; God is not mocked;
"Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap."
(Gal. 6:7)

In the various spheres, then, through which he must pass
to attain that which will fit him for the conditions to enter in,
and become a part of that Creator, just as an individual
is a part of the creation now.

In this manner we see there is the influence of the planets
upon an individual, for all must come under that influence,
though one may pass from one plane to another
without going through all stages of the condition,
for only upon the earth plane at present do we find man
is flesh and blood, but upon others do we find those
of his own making in the preparation of his own development.

As given, "The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the firmament sheweth His handyworks.
Day unto day uttereth speech, night unto night sheweth knowledge."
This from the beginning and unto the end.
(Ps. 19:1, 2)
 
Just in that manner is the way shown how man may escape
from all of the fiery darts of the wicked one, for it is self,
and selfishness, that would damn the individual soul
unto one or the other of those forces that bring about the change
that must be in those that willfully wrong his Maker.

It is not that which man does or leaves undone, but rather that
indifference toward the creation that makes or loses
for the individual entity.
 
Then, let's be up and doing - doing -
"be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only".
(Jas. 1:22)

(Q) Give the names of the principal planets, and the influence on the lives of people.
(A) Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Septimus.

Influence as is given by many of those in and about the earth plane is defective.

Many of the forces of each is felt more through the experience,
by the entity's sojourn upon those planets than by the life
that is lead other than by will, for will is the factor in the mind of man
that must be exercised.

The influence from any is from what planet that soul and spirit returns
to bring the force to the earth individual, as it is breathed into the body,
from whence did it come? that being the influence.

Not the revolution of the ideas as given from those
who study of those forces, but study those that come,
as the Star of Bethlehem came to the earth
as the individual pointing out the way to Truth, the Light,
and others can only be such as prepare their way through
that light and influence.

(Q) Are any of the planets, other than the earth,
inhabited by human beings or animal life of any kind?
(A) No.

(Q) Give the description of the planet nearest the earth at the present time,
and its effect upon the people.
(A) That planet now fast approaching the earth,
under whose influence the earth's minds trend,
will be for the next few years, as time is known here, is Mars,
who will be only thirty-five million miles away from the earth in 1924.

The influence will be felt as this recedes from the earth,
and those of that nature; that is, given through sojourn there,
express in their lives upon the earth the troublesome times
that will arise, only being tempered with that of those who may be,
and will be, coming from those of Jupiter, Venus and Uranus,
those strong ennobling forces tempered by those of love and strength.

(Q) What effect will the planet, Uranus, have on the people
during the next two years?
(A) We find in this planet those of the exceptional forces,
those of the ultra forces, those that carry the extremes
in every walk of physical life and forces, and these
are those that will, in the next two years, especially,
give of their strength to the greater force, as has been given.

Those, tempered with the forces as received there,
find in the tumultuous times that are to arise,
the setting ready for their again forces.
Well may the earth tremble under that influence in 1925 and 1927.

(Q) Is it proper for us to study the effects of the planets on our lives
in order to better understand our tendencies and inclinations,
as influenced by the planets?
(A) When studied aright, very, very, very much so.
How aright then?
In that influence as is seen in the influence of the knowledge
already obtained by mortal man.
Give more of that into the lives, giving the understanding
that the will must be the ever guiding factor
to lead man on, ever upward.

(Q) In what way should astrology be used to help man
live better in the present physical plane?
(A) In that which the position of the planets give the tendencies
in a given life, without reference to the will.
Then let man, the individual, understand how WILL may overcome,
for we all must overcome, if we would, in any wise, enter in.

Not that the position gives man the transport,
but that that force as manifested in the creation of man
wherein choice between the good and evil,
exercising highest will force, may be manifested
the greater in man.
Do That.

(Q) Who were the first people in the world to use astrology,
and what time in history was it first used?
(A) Many, many thousands, thousands of years ago.
The first record as is given is as that recorded in Job,
who lived before Moses was.

(Q) Are the tendencies of an individual influenced most
by the planets nearer the earth at the time of the individual's birth?
(A) At, or from that one whom is at the zenith when the individual
is in its place or sphere, or as is seen from that sphere or plane
the soul and spirit took its flight in coming to the earth plane.

For each plane, in its relation to the other, is just outside,
just outside, relativity of force, as we gather them together.

READING 3744-5
---------------------------------------
(Q) What are the laws governing relativity of all force?
(A) In giving the manifestation of such an law, which does exist,
we first must consider that, that is called force,
and that force then in its relation, or the relativity
of that force to all force.
 
There are, as were set in the beginning, as far as the concern
is of this physical earth plane, those rules or laws
in the relative force of those that govern the earth,
and the beings of the earth plane, and also that same law
governs the planets, stars, constellations, groups,
that that constitutes the sphere, the space, in which the planet moves.

These are of the one force, and we see the manifestation
of the relation of one force with another in the many various
phases as is shown, for in fact that which to the human mind exists,
in fact does not exist, for it has been in past before it is to
the human mind in existence.
 
In this, we see the law of the relations of conditions, space or time
and its relation to human mind, as is capable of obtaining information
upon the earth plane from a normal force or conditions.

Hence, we bring the same word, relativity of force, to prove its own self,
and condition, for we have as in this:
The earth in its motion, held in space by that force of attraction,
or detraction, or gravitation, or lack of gravitation in its force,
so those things that do appear to have reality, and their reality
to the human mind, have in reality passed into past conditions
before they have reached the mind, for with the earth's laws,
and its relations to other spheres, has to man become a past condition.

So it is reached only in the further forces as will show, and as is given,
for man to understand in this developing, or this evolution from sphere
to sphere, or from plane to plane, in this condition.

Hence, we find to the normal mind, there is no law as to relativity of force,
save as the individual may apply same in the individual's needs of them.
That is sufficient.

(Q) What is meant by the Gods of the Universe referred to in the readings?
(See 3744-2)
(A) Just as in this.
All force has its incentive, the directing or creating of that force.

That force to the human mind apparent, as different conditions,
or relations, as referred to as the God, or the ruling force,
of that individual force, as is giving the expression,
and is referred to as the God, as of War, as of Peace,
as of Water, as of the elements under the Sea.

As of those above, as the God of High Heaven, the ruler over all,
the one in all and the all in one.

(Q) Give the best method of helping the human family increase
in knowledge of the subconscious soul or spirit world.
(A) The knowledge of the subconscious of an entity, or an individual,
in or of the human family, is as of one integral force, or element,
or self in the creation of the human family, and until the entity,
or individual, as individuals, make this known to groups, classes,
countries, nations, the greater study of self, that force
will only be magnified.

That of the spirit is the spark, or portion of the Divine
that is in every entity, whether complete or of the evolution
to that completeness.

The study from the human standpoint, of subconscious, subliminal,
psychic, soul forces, is and should be the great study
for the human family, for through self man will understand its Maker
when it understands its relation to its Maker, and it will only understand
that through itself, and that understanding is the knowledge
as is given here in this state.

Each and every person getting that understanding has its individual force
toward the great creation, and its individual niche, place or unit to perform.

Has to reach numbers of psychic forces or phenomena
that may be manifested in the earth plane, all the same,
yet the understanding for the individual entity,
viewed from its own standpoint, with its knowledge,
is obtained and made ready by itself, to be manifested
through itself, towards its own development, and in that development
of the creation or world.

In this manner, and in this form, and in this way, will the development
(to study the force as given through this manner) be of assistance to the world.

As in dreams, those forces of the subconscious,
when taken or correlated into those forms that relate
to the various phases of the individual, give to that individual
the better understanding of self, when correctly interpreted,
or when correctly answered.

Forget not that it has been said correctly that the Creator,
the Gods and the God of the Universe, speak to man through
this individual self.

Man approaches the nearer condition of its approach
to that field when the normal is at rest; sleep or slumber,
and when more of the forces are taken into consideration,
and are studied by the individual (not someone else)
it is the individual's job, each individual's condition, each individual's position,
each individual's relation, each individual's manifestation,
each individual's receiving the message from the higher forces
themselves, and for each individual to understand if they will study,
to show themselves approved.

"In all thy getting, my son, get understanding."
[Prov. 4:7]
That of Self. When one understands self,
and self's relation to its Maker, the duty to its neighbor,
its own duty to self, it cannot, it will not be false to man, or to its Maker.

Give then more thought, for thoughts are deeds,
and are children of the relation reached between
the mental and the soul, and has its relation to spirit
and soul's plane of existence, as they do in the physical
or earth plane.

What one thinks continually, they become; what one cherishes
in their heart and mind they make a part of the pulsation of their heart,
through their own blood cells, and build in their own physical,
that which its spirit and soul must feed upon,
and that with which it will be possessed, when it passes into
the realm for which the other experiences
of what it has gained here in the physical plane, must be used.

The attributes of the soul and spirit are as many, and as many more,
as the attributes of the physical or mental mind.

Each, in the beginning, endowed with that same condition - position.
Each, in itself, building to itself, through its development known
through the ages, as called from the earth plane,
that which is manifest upon the earth.

With each development, that force, known upon the plane as WILL,
is given to man over and above all creation;
THAT force that may separate itself from its Maker,
for with the WILL man may either adhere or contradict the Divine law,
- those immutable laws, as are set between the Creator and the created.

The study of these, through their phases and forms,
and especially through any of those phases, wherein
the carnal or material or normal forces are laid aside,
and the ever present elements of spirit and soul commune
with those of the forces as found in each entity.

Study those and know thyself.

(Q) What is the law of love?
(A) Giving. As is given in this injunction,
"Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself."

As is given in the injunction,
"Love the Lord Thy God with all Thine Heart,
Thine Soul and Thine Body."

In this, as in many, we see upon the physical or earth
or material plane the manifestations of that law,
without the law itself.

With any condition we find as this, which is the manifestation
of the opposite from law of love.

The gift, the giving, with hope of reward or pay
is direct opposition of the law of love.

Remember there is no greater than the injunction,
"God so loved His Creation, or the World,
as to give His Only Begotten Son, for their redemption."

Through that love, as man makes it manifest
in his own heart and life, does it reach that law,
and in compliance of a Law, the law becomes
a part of the individual.

That is the law of Love.

Giving in action, without the force felt, expressed, manifested,
shown, desired or reward for that given.

Not that The Law of Love does away with other laws,
but makes the Law of Recompense,
The Law of Faith, The Law of Divine,
with The Law of Earth Forces,
if you please, of effect, not defective, but of effect.
 
So we have:
Love is Law.
Law is Love.
God is Love.
Love is God.

In that we see the law manifested, not the law itself.

Unto the individual, as we have given then,
that gets the understanding of self,
becomes a part of this.

As is found, which come in one, so we have manifestations
of the one-ness, of the all-ness in love.

Now, if we, as individuals, upon the earth plane,
have all of the other elementary forces
that make to the bettering of life, and have not love
we are as nothing - nothing.

"Though one may have the gift of prophesy, so as to give
great understanding, even of the graces in Hope, in Charity,
in Faith, and has not the law of love in their heart,
soul, mind and though they give their body to give itself
for manifesting even these graces, and has not love they are nothing."

In many, many ways may the manifestations of the law of love be shown,
but without the greater love, even as the Father giveth,
even as the soul giveth, there is no understanding,
and no compliance of the forces that make our later law to this, of effect.

(Q) What is a dream?
(A) There are many various kinds of manifestations that come
to an animate object, or being; that is in the physical plane of man,
which the human family term a DREAM.

Some are produced by suggestions as reach the consciousness
of the physical, through the various forms and manners as these.

When the physical has laid aside the conscious in that region called sleep,
or slumber, when those forces through which the spirit and soul
has manifested itself come, and are reenacted before
or through or by this soul and spirit force, when such an action is of such a nature
as to make or bring back impressions to the conscious mind
in the earth or material plane, it is termed a dream.

This may be enacted by those forces that are taken into the system,
and in the action of digestion that takes place under the guidance
of subconscious forces, become a part of that force through which
the spirit and soul of that entity passed at such time.

Such manifestations are termed or called nightmares,
or the abnormal manifestations on the physical plane of these forces.

In the normal force of dreams are enacted those forces
that may be the fore-shadow of condition, with the comparison
by soul and spirit forces of the condition in various spheres
through which this soul and spirit of the given entity has passed in its evolution
to the present sphere.

In this age, at present, 1923, there is not sufficient credence
given dreams; for the best development of the human family
is to give the greater increase in knowledge of the subconscious,
soul or spirit world. This is a DREAM.

(Q) How should dreams be interpreted?
(A) Depending upon the physical condition of the entity
and that which produces or brings the dream to that body's forces.
 
The better definition of how the interpretation may be best is this:
Correlate those Truths that are enacted in each and every dream
that becomes a part of this, or the entity of the individual,
and use such to the better developing, ever remembering develop
means going toward the higher forces, or the Creator.

(Q) Definition of the word evolution with reference to the human family:
(A) Evolution with reference to the human family.

Evolution is, as commonly understood by the human family,
and upon which there has been much discussion by many peoples,
and the question has become one that involves many different phases
and meanings to many peoples.

Evolution is as reference.
In reference to the human family, means rather resuscitation
of those forces that have gradually brought man to understand
the law of self from within, and by understanding such law
has brought the better force in man to bring about the gradual change
that has come to man, known through all the ages.

Man was made as man.
There was, there is, as we find, only three of the creations
as is given, matter force and mind.

In each we find that, in the forces as is developed into
the conditions, as we find at the present time.

All flesh is not of one flesh, but the developing of one
has always remained in the same, and has only been
to meet the needs of man, for which there was made
all that was made, and man's evolving, or evolution,
has only been that of the gradual growth upward
to the mind of the Maker.

(Q) Is the Darwinian theory of evolution of man right or wrong?
Give such an answer as will enlighten the people on this subject of evolution.
(A) Man was made in the beginning, as the ruler over those elements
as was prepared in the earth plane for his needs.

When the plane became that such as man was capable
of being sustained by the forces, and conditions,
as were upon the face of the earth plane,
man appeared not from that already created,
but as the Lord over all that was created,
and in man there is found that in the living man,
all of that, that may be found without in the whole,
whole world or earth plane, and other than that,
the Soul of Man is that making him above all animal,
vegetable, mineral kingdom of the earth plane.

Man did not descend from the monkey, but man has evolved,
resuscitation, you see, from time to time, time to time,
here a little, there a little, line upon line and line and line upon line.

In all ages we find this has been the developing
- day by day, day by day, or the evolution as we see
from those forces as may be manifested by that,
that man has made himself the gradual improvement
upon the things made by man, yet made to suffice the needs
of certain functioning portions of man's will force,
as may be manifested by man, but ever remaining that element
to supply that need, whether of sustenance or other functions
of man's individual needs, as created by man,
this becoming then the exponent of the force as his Creator
made him, for the World, and the needs and conditions,
man's compliance nearer with those laws brings him gradually
to that development necessary to meet the needs of the conditions,
place or sphere in which that individual is placed.

As in this:
The needs of those in the North Country not the same as those
in the Torrid region.

Hence development comes to meet the needs in the various conditions
under which man is placed.

He only using those laws that are ever and ever in existence
in the plane, as is given in that of relativity, that being the needs
from one relation to another.

The theory is, man evolved, or evolution, from first cause in creation,
and brings forth to meet the needs of the man, the preparation
for the needs of man has gone down many, many thousands
and millions of years, as is known in this plane, for the needs of man
in the hundreds and thousands of years to come.
Man is man, and God's order of creation, which he represents
even as His son, who is the representative of the Father,
took on the form of Man, the highest of the creation in the plane,
and became to man that element that shows and would show
and will show the way, the directing way, the Life, the Water,
the Vine, to the everlasting, when guided and kept in that manner and form.

(Q) Where does the soul come from, and how does it enter the physical body?
(A) It is already there. "and He breathed into him the breath of life,
and he became a living soul", as the breath, the ether from the forces
as come into the body of the human when born breathes the breath of life,
as it becomes a living soul, provided it has reached that developing
in the creation where the soul may enter and find the lodging place.
All souls were created in the beginning, and are finding their way back
to whence they came.

(Q) Where does the soul go when fully developed?
(A) To its Maker.
