Mental Ability Quote by Edgar Cayce
““Then--in correcting the entity--do not ever break the entity's will! Reason with the entity, for the mental ability and aspects will incline to make the entity become stubborn, if there is the attempt to force or to cause the entity to act in any direction or manner "just because." Tell [the entity] why!””
