in Greece when he served in the military.

      Mr. [3657] was told that he could produce even greater works than he had as Bulwer-Lytton, if he would simply put his mind to writing. In response to the suggestion, [3657] later wrote, “I have often felt the urge to write stories but it never was a necessity that I try.” According to the files, Mr. [3657] lived to the age of seventy-four and remained active in his business until a few days prior to his death in 1960. There is no record as to whether or not he ever tried his hand at writing.

      Years later, in 1976, his daughter wrote and stated that she had just finished a Bulwer-Lytton novel and was amazed because it “was [just] like listening to Daddy talk!”

Burr, Aaron

       1756-1836

       Case 1235

      Aaron Burr was the third vice-president of the United States (under Thomas Jefferson) and is best known for having killed his political rival, Alexander Hamilton, in a duel. Although he served out his four-year vice-presidency well, afterward his political career was marked by foreign intrigue and failed treason against the United States. His own desire for power proved his undoing. He was acquitted of treason, a capital offense, only because his plots had been thwarted before being committed. After his political ambitions were over, he spent some time in Europe before returning to the United States to practice law until his death. (See also “Hamilton, Alexander.”)

      A thirteen-year-old boy was told that he possessed innate abilities as an orator and a politician that had been developed during lifetimes in Rome and at the founding of the United States:

      For as we find a political career should be that for the greater training, for the greater development, for the greater abilities, for the greater possibilities for the entity in this experience.

      For as the activities have guided, do guide the experiences of others, and as the experiences have been in such an environ, those inclinations will be in such ways and manners as helpful—if the purposes, the ideals of the entity are held in those directions as to make for the correcting of self first, then the aiding in correcting the moral, the economic, the social order for others …

      Before this, then, we find the entity was that one known as Aaron Burr; of which so much is known that little may be added to that—but that those things that brought about those experiences in the affairs of the entity during that sojourn may not be repeated. For these will come as experiences, the urges for repeating of those that questioned the entity, even as then.

      1235-1

      The reading stated that innately [1235] could be quite headstrong. Cayce encouraged the boy’s parents to persuade by reason and logic rather than by power or might, for he would rebel against any forcefulness. Although he had often been associated with those in power in the past, Cayce said his activities are “not well-spoken of in many circles.” His guardians were advised to guide him in the direction of law and political science. Rather than learning political might and the force of power, he was to be guided in learning how politics could be used for creating peace and harmony. He needed to discover how the state could direct individuals in their service toward one another.

      According to the reports, [1235] never did learn law or go to college. Instead, he married early and had several children. He eventually entered the civil service and worked for a naval shipyard. A veteran of World War II, he was buried with full military honors when he died in 1975.

Campbell, Thomas

       1763-1854

       Case 2547

      Thomas Campbell was a Presbyterian minister who immigrated to the United States from Ireland. Eventually, he would become one of the founders and organizers of the Disciples of Christ Church.

      In a reading which saw great promise for the child’s future, the father of a four year old was told that his son had often been responsible for the manifestation of spiritual truths in the earth. If the child were guided aright, once again he would bring much help and assistance to humankind:

      Before this the entity was in the Scotch land. The entity began its activity as a prodigy, as one already versed in its associations with the unseen—or the elemental forces; the fairies and those of every form that do not give expression in a material way and are only seen by those who are attuned to the infinite.

      Then the entity in the developing was in the name Thomas Campbell, the reformer in the land of the present nativity; which, as combined later with Barton Stone, brought into activity that known as a denomination.

      The intent and purpose was to unify all Protestant thought, speaking where the Book spoke, keeping silent where it kept silent upon the activities or associations of individuals in relationships to groups or to masses.

      2547-1

      Additional lives in the Holy Land had demonstrated that the soul had acquired a deep personal relationship with the Creator, learning how to manifest spiritual principles in the earth. Cayce suggested that [2547] was a great soul and possessed nearly limitless spiritual potential. The boy’s parents were encouraged to guide him in matters of spirituality and to acquaint him especially with the stories in the Old and New Testaments.

      In 1957, one of the few reports on file states that [2547] had married and that he and his wife were both very active Baptists, each teaching and working in religious education.

Carroll, Charles

       1737-1832

       Case 3178

      An American patriot, Charles Carroll is best known for having been the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence and the only Roman Catholic to sign that document. He also served as a U.S. senator from 1789 to 1792.

      In 1943, a middle-aged auditor and employee of the U.S. government was interested in obtaining a life reading for himself. Among the questions he submitted was, “Did I live in America during the American Revolution?” He was told that he had been Charles Carroll: “Before this the entity was in the land of the present nativity when there were turmoils and even the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Then entity was the last to sign …”

      According to [3178]’s reading, a trend that the individual had often allowed himself to fall into was the habit of waiting “for something to happen,” a trait which often led to indecision. In England he had led various groups of people but had often waited to the last minute before making any decision. In Egypt he had taken part in a rebellion and later switched sides to support the very individual against whom he had once rebelled. His affinity for independence was traceable to a life he had lived in Persia when he had been a soldier defending the rights of his home people against invading Greeks. As an aside, Cayce suggested that [3178] learn numerology because—according to the soul’s records—the individual had been born on the same day for the last three lifetimes.

      He was apparently already in a job well suited for his soul talents which were along the lines of, “Anything that has to do with the handling of campaigns, programs, or things having to do with others’ financial status, or as a clerk of a town, community, county, or the like.” (3178-1) He was encouraged to work on his tendency toward indecision.

      One of the few reports [3178] submitted states: “For some time prior to my ‘life reading,’ on Aug. 24, 1943, I had been thinking about the similarity between the problems of this Country now and then, I had even thought quite a bit about the place the ‘Founding Fathers’ have in our present-day life, so you can imagine my feelings when my ‘life reading’ came.”
