Reincarnation & Karma. Edgar Cayce

       Q: Can you now tell me what was my full name in my last reincarnation as a Fairfax?

      A: Nettie F.

       Q: What was the full name of my father at that time?

      A: John D. Fairfax.

       Q: Is there any record of this? If so, where can it be located?

      A: There is a record that may be had from a Mrs. Fairfax (whose address may be had) in Washington; from the beginnings. It is of the Edwards family but brings is this.

       Q: Please give details as to how my sister [560] then, Geraldine Fairfax, lost her life in being crushed in the earth. At what age was she?

      A: Just the beginning of the teens, when there were those cave-ins from the preparations of some buildings in that period.

       Q: How did it happen? Was she just playing around them?

      A: Playing around; and then there were those activities from the earth trembling.

       Q: About how much time have I spent in reincarnation up to the present time?

      A: Almost in all the cycles that have had the incoming from period to period hast thou dwelt. Thine first incoming in the earth was during those periods of the Atlanteans that made for the divisions. Hence, counting in time, some twenty thousand years.

       Reading 364–1 (A returning Atlantean)

      Be it true that there is the fact of reincarnation, and that souls that once occupied such an environ are entering the earth’s sphere and inhabiting individuals in the present, is it any wonder that—if they made such alterations in the affairs of the earth in their day, as to bring destruction upon themselves—if they are entering now, they might make many changes in the affairs of peoples and individuals in the present? Are they, then, being born into the world? If so, what were their environs—and will those environs mean in a material world today?

       READING

      Time of Reading 3:40 to 4:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. (Physical Suggestion)

      GC: We, the members of the N.Y. Group of the Ass’n for Research & Enlightenment, engaged in a project to investigate reincarnation, have read and discussed the reading given us thru this channel June 29, 1937 [5753–2], advising us as individuals and as a group how we are to proceed in this work. We accept the instruction with the proper ideal as we understand it. We now ask for further guidance.

      The members of the group actively seeking information are: [1058], [954], [1000], [189], [903], [255], [5416], [520], [1210], [165], [257], [1192].

      We hope at this time to gain a better understanding of spiritual values through information on the lives of [1210], [759], [189], and [257] as these entities expressed themselves during the American Revolutionary period.

      We first ask information concerning the activities and the remaining evidences of activities during the American Revolutionary period of the entity now known as [1210]—known at that time as McQuade or Quer and by the first name of Herman.

      You will have before you the enquiring mind of the entity [1210], born Nov. 4, 1881, Niagara Falls, N.Y., and now of . . . St., N.Y.C., who seeks information on his past incarnation in the American Revolutionary period. You will answer the questions which have been submitted.

      EC: (Not responding to first suggestion, had to be repeated—and then only responding to last paragraph of suggestion—“Enquiring mind of [1210], born Nov. 4, 1881—Aug. 24, 1937—’36, ’35-” etc., on back to birth date.

      Yes—much better were these presented from the information that has been given, and its period, or else there is to be sought the reflection of the whole of the experience as from the beginning. We will seek here. (Mumbling over name, birth date, place of birth, etc.)

      Yes, we have the records of that entity now known as [1210]; this with the interpretations as we have had here before.

      In considering the experience of the entity during that period of the American Revolution, we find that the entity served especially in those activities or campaigns about portions of Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
