Identity Quote by Edgar Cayce
““In giving that as may be constructive in the experience of the entity at this time, who is to say as to whether an entity has advanced or made use of the opportunities from any given period? Rather it is expedient that there be, by the entity, an analysis of self and self's motives, self's desires; as may be judged by those that are the ideals of the entity, materially, socially, mentally, spiritually. And if the entity has not measured up to that which is its ideal, then the corrections must be within self.””
