city of Debir. Othniel defeated the city and claimed Achsah as his wife. Acshah also asked for and received from her father a dowry of land that included some springs of water, enabling her and her husband to begin a new life together.
A thirty-one-year-old Jewish woman was told that she had been associated with both her present husband and son in her life as Achsah. At the time, her husband had been a companion and her son, [1292], had been her father, Caleb. (See also “Caleb.”)
Before that we find the entity’s experience that becomes the greater of its activities; when there were those journeyings from the land of Egypt to the land of promise.
The entity then was the daughter of a leader, Caleb, that brought such a report of the land to all those travellers, those peoples of promise, those chosen that were to give to the world the basic principles for their moral and spiritual life.
The entity was born in the wilderness, and was given in marriage when there was the conquering and the activity of the father’s people in the taking and settling of the lands about the Holy City.
Then in the name Achsah …
1294-1
Her reading informed her that she was both sensitive and practical and possessed a deep desire to live a spiritual life. Tolerant to the ideas of others, she was a true humanitarian. Extremely intelligent and skilled in creating a home life, [1294] was told that she would have the opportunity to influence both national and international activities, especially in the latter part of her life.
In addition to her incarnation as Achsah, she had lived during the early settling of western Pennsylvania, where she had learned love and tolerance and being of service to those who were in need. During a lifetime in France, she had learned to love life for its everyday experiences and for its relationships and associations with others. She had served as an emissary to other lands during an Egyptian incarnation and had learned to use her intuition to work with others. Throughout her incarnations she had excelled in tolerance and open-mindedness. Her reading also told her that she possessed skill as a writer that would show itself in her latter years.
According to the reports on file, [1294]’s husband died six months later because he had not followed advice he had been given in a physical reading. In 1952, she requested and received a copy of her son’s life reading to which she responded: “Thank you so much for the copy of [1292]’s life reading. It is most interesting to me since he is now a young man and he also will enjoy following his life’s reading as the years go by.”
No additional reports are on file.
Ahijah
I Kings 11, 12, 14, 15; II Chronicles 9:29, 10:15Case 4087
Ahijah was a prophet who lived during the time of Solomon and Jeroboam. Ahijah prophesied to Jeroboam that because Solomon had rejected God and instead turned to his love of power and taxes, the tribes of Israel would be divided. To illustrate his prophecy, Ahijah tore his coat into twelve pieces and gave ten to Jeroboam. Later, at Solomon’s death, Jeroboam became the first king of the ten northern tribes.
Parents of a six-year-old boy came to Edgar Cayce for a reading in 1944 in part to discover why their son had undergone such “unusual psychical experiences” in his life. They sought advice on his religious and educational training.
Cayce told the parents that their child had been endowed with great possibilities as well as great problems that he needed to meet. On more than one occasion, the boy had been gifted with “second sight” and could see “visions of things to come, of things that are happening.” In one incarnation the boy had been alive at the time of Jesus, when he had known Peter. The only other incarnation mentioned was when their son had been the prophet who had warned Jereboam of the division of the tribes of Israel. The parents were advised to read about that experience in Scripture.
His training was to focus on the things of the spirit, the things of the divine, rather than upon those things for the gratifying or satisfying of self. The boy’s intuitive gifts could be used to help many, but only after a firm spiritual foundation had been established. Cayce promised that [4087] could be of great help to many. In terms of the boy’s psychic experiences, the parents were also told, “Do not discourage, do not encourage the visions—until the first lessons are learned”:
Here the parents have a real, real obligation. They have a real, real opportunity. So live in self that thine own lives may be an example to this entity through its formative years. So teach, not let it be given to someone else—so teach, for it is thy responsibility, not the priest’s, not a teacher’s, not a minister’s responsibility, but thine. Don’t put it off. Don’t neglect, or else ye will meet self again.
4087-1
Throughout the reading, Cayce reminded the parents of their important obligation in their son’s upbringing and also encouraged them to give their child a love of spirituality and recommending specific biblical passages that would be useful in his training.
The only note on file states that [4087]’s parents went through a period of marital difficulties. No additional follow-up reports are available.
Andrew
Matthew 4:18-22, 10:1-4; Mark 1:16-21, 29; 3:14-19, 13:3-37; Luke 6:13-16; John 1:39-51, 6:1-15, 12:21-32; Acts 1:12-14Case 341
Patron saint of Scotland, Andrew is best known for having been chosen as the first of Jesus’ twelve apostles. The brother of Simon Peter and the son of John of Bethsaida, Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist from whom he first heard about Jesus. A fisherman by trade, he brought Jesus to the attention of his brother, Simon Peter, and the two were told, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Andrew was also the individual who brought the young boy with the loaves and fishes to Jesus when the five thousand who had come to hear Jesus speak grew hungry. The loaves and the fishes provided the materials with which Jesus performed a miracle and fed the five thousand their fill. Tradition holds that Andrew was martyred in Greece.
In 1923, parents of a sixteen-year-old student obtained the first life reading for their son. They were told that their son had many talents and could excel as a writer, a historian, an orator, or one whose field of study would lie in the direction of things of a spiritual nature. Extremely intelligent, their son had past-life experiences as a monk, as a warrior during the Crusades, in ancient Egypt as a Pharaoh, and in Palestine as Andrew, one of the original disciples. Later readings would state that the lifetimes in Palestine and Egypt would hold the greatest influence in the boy’s present experience.
Several years after his first life reading, [341] requested an additional reading to provide further information on his incarnation as Andrew. That reading stated, in part:
This experience then, especially in that physical body known as Andrew, we find the entity then the second brother in a family of four, and in the early childhood one willful in many ways, taking up the physical vocation of the parents and brother, and in the days when John [the Baptist] began to teach in the wilderness, the entity, the body (physical), Andrew, became first an adherent and a disciple of that teacher, and remained close as an aide, from first conviction, until the appearance of Jesus to become the disciple of the entity’s master. When pointed out by John as the one that should be greater, and increase as he decreased, Andrew then followed the new leader into the wilderness, and was close with Him during the temptation, as is recorded by Matthew, and when the return to the seashore, sought out the brother [Peter], telling of those ideas, ideals, as were propounded by Him who had been pointed out, and became the close disciple then of the Teacher and Master, following close throughout the whole physical career of the Master; not as the chosen three, yet one as is given often the greater physical conditions to do and to carry out. One often spoken to for the reference to others, and this is particularly seen, especially, upon two occasions: In the feeding of the multitudes in the entrance to the city for the evening lodgement to keep the Passover. In the entering into the Garden on the last evening …
