1. EC: Without regard the will of the individual, these are inclinations, though as conditions that have reason in the environment and the plane of development has changed much, the individual itself, both in manner and in its view toward things either of the material or physical plane and spiritual or soul plane, see?* The tendency then as we find - one strong of body, yet gross with the force of a secular nature. One given to viewing the finer arts from afar, becoming ever a part of these, yet ever keeping them at a distance. One whose destiny lies in success nearer the middle portion of its life on this plane. One that we find will bring destructive forces through its own appetites unless governed by the will forces of the soul portion of the individual. One given to view matters with a great perspective view of conditions. Ruled by Jupiter force with Venus in the 11th house. Hence only the affairs of heart or affection enter once in the life. Those of financial, through the position of aris [Aries] and septemus [Septimus] give the force through financial plane which will be in the ascendency to the last days on this plane, and for some generations to come its effect will be there unless the will cut this short. One by the position of the forces as given in that of Neptune to be away from those of the watery nature. Hence all forces this body deals with must be of those in productive forces and not become in its nature in any way or manner referring to water. One well balanced to deal with individuals whose birthday comes in March, August and October, see? One whose greater force lies in the development of self toward the psychic forces as is reached through the position of Jupiter with that of Uranus. One whose forte lies in control of men.
* [Evidently some sort of suggestion was given by Linden

Shroyer to obtain a horoscope reading.]
2. To this body nothing is ever lost. Far from the influence of Saturn, that planet to whom all insufficient matter is cast from the earth plane.
3. In giving this from this plane, we have the effect both of the living and of the will force with the astronomical conditions to be kept in line, see? Hence the difficulty in giving the disposition and the appetites of the individual as an individual entity. For we have both forces to compete with. Strong willed and self-reliant, is individual. This developed rather than of the natural forces. One that goes far to develop in the present sphere. Third appearance on this plane. He was once a monk.
[10/5/64 GD's note: So far as we know this is the first reference in the Edgar Cayce readings to reincarnation, or at least a definite former incarnation of an individual.
9/27/76 GD's note: I've just discovered that reincarnation was mentioned in Physical Reading 4841-1 on 4/22/11, with the explanation of the soul, subconscious mind, several embodiments, etc.]
4. Mars plays little part in this individual's life, hence the vulnerable spirit, that is, lack of fear through any force, form or nature, and the resistance or repulsion toward firearms of any kind.
5. We are through.
