at some time, at some place, known my present wife.” Both he and his wife were thrilled with the information.

      Follow-up reports indicate that in 1948 he visited A.R.E. and in 1952 wrote to inquire about information in the readings for a sinus problem he was experiencing. The last file notation is from 1959 when he submitted a change of address. No additional information is on file.

       Matthew 2Case 256

      According to the New Testament, Wise Men journeyed from the East following a star which they believed heralded the birth of the Christ child. King Herod had heard of them and summoned them to his court, requesting that once the child was discovered they tell him where the infant might be found. The Wise Men continued their journey to Bethlehem, found the babe, and offered gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Afterward, they were warned in a dream not to return to Herod; therefore, they traveled back to their country by another route. Although they were not specifically named in the Bible, Edgar Cayce gave two individuals life readings and stated that each had been one of the Wise Men: Ashtueil and Achlar. (See also “Achlar.”)

      An accounting teacher was told that he had exceptional abilities that could be applied in the present. He could use his talent with mathematics to excel in boat building, architecture, or aeronautics. Innately, he also possessed an aptitude for numerology, astrology, and astronomy that could be used to assist others. His past incarnations included an English monk during the Crusades. From that lifetime he had also possessed a talent with numbers and stars. In ancient Egypt he had been a mathematical genius who had studied the skies and was told, because of that incarnation, he was one of the few individuals alive who could understand Einstein’s theory of relativity. He was also informed that he had been the Wise Man who had offered the gift of frankincense to the baby Jesus:

      In the one before this we find the entity was among those who were of the Wise Men coming into Jerusalem and to Bethlehem when the Master came into the earth. The entity then in the name Ashtueil, coming in from the mountains of what is now known as Arabia and India. The entity gained through this period in pointing out that through the various forces as were added in the experiences of man with that creation of forces necessary to keep the balance in the universal forces, the earth must bring forth that that would make man’s balance of force with the Creative Energy as one, and the Son of Man appeared. The entity brought the frankincense and gave same to the Master at that period.

      His talents lay in numbers, astrology, and in facilitating the mental abilities of others. Mr. [256] was encouraged to become the astrologer for Cayce’s Association, providing progressive charts for the Association’s membership. Over the years, he obtained a number of readings and became active in the Search for God® study group program. He requested readings for members of his family and married in 1937 at the age of thirty-nine. Unfortunately, three years later, Mr. [256], who had apparently been working on his car, died of carbon monoxide poisoning. His sister remained convinced that the death was not completely accidental and that someone had killed him. She wrote Mr. Cayce in 1941 to tell him that her dead brother had communicated with her, stating that he was doing fine and wished her to express his love and blessings to those he had known in life.

       Judges 4, 5; Hebrews 11:32-34Case 1710

      Barak was a warrior who became the most important ally to Deborah, a prophetess and judge for Israel, in the struggle against the Canaanites. Barak was summoned by Deborah to bring ten thousand men to Mount Tabor in order to fight against the Canaanites. He agreed under the condition that she come with him. Deborah accompanied him and Barak’s forces proved superior.

      A twenty-four-year-old man, whose family had received a number of readings, was told that he had been Barak, an incarnation in which he had excelled at being able to place his faith in God. In a lifetime just previous to the present, he had served at Fort Dearborn, Chicago, as a teacher to youth as well as a customs director. In Rome, he had served as a centurion and a director of those who collected customs. Finally, in Atlantis, he had served as an emissary to other lands.

      In the present, [1710] was informed that the career best suited for his abilities lay in the fields of machinery, electronics, mechanics, and especially aeronautics as long as he remained on the ground. When the young man asked about marriage, he was told that the greatest influence would come from his incarnation in the Holy Land and that he shouldn’t contemplate marriage until he was twenty-eight or twenty-nine.

      When [1710] was twenty-eight, he met and married a young woman who was told that she had been Deborah. (See also “Deborah.”) A few months after their marriage, they obtained a joint reading on their lifetime as Barak and Deborah, which stated:

      As indicated there, they each had their definite activities; Deborah as the elder in the experience, and the prophetess—thus raised to a power or authority as a judge in Israel; to whom the people of the various groups, of that particular portion of Israel, went for the settling of their problems pertaining to their relationships one to another …

      Then did the entity Deborah appoint or call Barak to become the leader in the armed forces against the powers of Sisera [captain of the Canaanites] …

      As to the activities of Barak in those periods—there was something like some twelve years variation in the ages. Barak was also a family man, of the same tribe—though not of the same household as Deborah. Their activities, then, brought only the respect one for the other in their associations, their dealings and relationships with others.

      1710-11

      By working together, the reading assured the couple that they could again be helpful to others. In time, the couple would have four children.

      Reports on file indicate that [1710] worked for the Martin Company and became trained on a variety of instruments involving aeronautics that were manufactured by Sperry. By 1957, he had started a successful contracting company, building roads, digging for underground utilities, and landscaping.

      In 1967, [1710] died unexpectedly from a cerebral hemorrhage.

       Mark 10:46-52; Luke 18:35-43Case 2124

      Bartimaeus was a well-known blind man who spent his time begging along the highway at the entrance to Jericho. In spite of the crowd’s insistence that he remain silent when Jesus passed by, Bartimaeus repeatedly called out to be healed. It was because of his faith that he gained back his sight.

      A fifty-four-year-old night watchman, who had previously obtained physical readings for himself and a life reading for his granddaughter, secured his own life reading in 1931. Not easily swayed by others, he was told that he had a mind of his own but managed to think first before speaking. He also had talent as a politician. His reading stated that just previous to the present lifetime, he had been an explorer and navigator from the Norse land. In ancient Egypt, he had been a builder and a politician. In Atlantis, he had also been a navigator. However, his most influential incarnation had been at the time of Jesus: “being in the name then of Bartimaeus, as walked by the way; being strong in body, yet lacking—through the activities of those with whom the body-entity then associated—in sight …” (2124-3)

      Because of that lifetime, Cayce told [2124] that he maintained a deep interest in helping others with their own healing. That same year, he and his wife became a part of the first Search for God study group and the first prayer group. A year later, the couple withdrew from the Cayce work, deciding that they did not believe in reincarnation.

      A file notation from 1940 states that the couple continued to speak very highly of Mr. Cayce, but still did not accept reincarnation. Mr. [2124] died in 1960 at the age of eighty-three.
