   and humbled me at the same time.  When I learned that thoughts are things,    
   that the mind is the builder and the physical is the result I understood why    
   I was where I was, in a prison living in shame.  I used these teachings to    
   start improving myself.  Before I read that book I lived in total survival   
   mode,    
   never thought about what I would do when I got out, a part of me even doubted    
   I would ever get out.  I took control of my life while I was still behind   
   bars.     
   I stopped feeling sorry for myself and started telling myself and others that    
   just because we were in prison doesn't mean we have to stop living.  I   
   actually    
   found love and peace there.   
      
   I went through probation without an incident, my probation officer petitioned    
   the judge for my early release, I was released the day before Thanksgiving!     
   I am still working on myself and loving my freedom.  Probably the greatest    
   thing about my freedom right now is that I have access to this site and    
   Edgar Cayce's readings.  I am trying to reinvent my life.  I really thought    
   that my downfall took my gift with it, I never planned on doing another    
   reading again.  But, God has given me a second chance.  A few weeks ago I met   
   a    
   lady on a dating site, after talking just one time with her she told me her   
   son    
   had committed suicide two years ago and she is extremely depressed (I can only    
   imagine the pain she is going through).  I felt impelled to offer her a   
   reading,    
   I was able to contact her son, who has crossed over.  At first I felt the    
   reading was about helping him, but I quickly realized that he was okay, he was    
   with God, it was the mother who needed help.  I truly believe that her son    
   brought us together, love does not die!  And he loves his mom very much and is    
   worried about her.  She's angry at God and doing some very self destructive    
   things.  In just a few short weeks I was able to get her to talk to God,    
   I told her about Edgar Cayce and have her reading material about him.  She has    
   a lot of healing to do, but hearing her have hope has lifted me up so much.    
       
   I would like to thank the ARE for helping me in so many ways,  Special thanks    
   to the prison outreach program, after I read "Your Life" I gave it to another    
   inmate, it's probably still circulating.  I now have a prison pen pal and    
   I have introduced her to Cayce and signed her up for the outreach program   
   too.     
   I'm not sure where my path will lead me, but I feel I am now on my right   
   path.     
   I hope to visit the ARE campus someday, and hope to be able to take some   
   classes.     
   That's my dream.  But for now I'm a felon having a hard time finding work that    
   pays enough to pay the bills.  It's okay, I will be okay, for once in my life    
   I feel good about myself and my life.     
      
   Thank you for reading this if you got this far. haha

   Hello Ron,   
       
   Welcome to the Forum!   
       
   Yes, possession is a reality according to both The Cayce Readings and   
   The Holy Bible.   
       
   The spirits that possess are not fallen angels aka demons - which are all   
   locked up and kept in chains of darkness (see Genesis 6, 2 Peter 2, and   
   Jude 1) - but rather discarnate wicked human souls.   
       
   And they can only possess if we allow them to or invite them in.    
       
   Overindulgence in alcohol, especially spirits or beer, and the indulgence   
   in street drugs, can open one to possession, as well as any other carnal or   
   harmful activity, and also sinful or negative trains of desire thought words   
   deeds.   
       
   Possession is not possible for those who are seeking and serving God's will.   
   This does not mean 100%, but it does mean have as their first and foremost   
   goal in life to seek and serve God's will in desire thought word deed, in    
   every area of life, and every second of every day. "Become ye perfect, for    
   your Father in heaven is perfect."   
       
   In the past, I met a male on a chat line. The first time that he and I spoke   
   we spoke for quite some time, and at a certain point the Lord God said to   
   me, He suffers from possession. The very next time I spoke with him, to my    
   absolute amazement he said to me that he suffered from possession, and    
   that he liked being possessed, and that he even had used a Ouija Board and    
   made the request to be possessed. He said too that in the past there was a    
   female he had met on the chat line who recognized that he was possessed    
   and asked him to go to the Virginia Beach Rock Church with her in order for    
   him to undergo a depossession. He did go to the Rock Church with her, but     
   whatever the Minister said and/or did, did not work. He said all of this    
   upon his bringing up the subject of possession, and only then did I tell him   
   what God had told me about him the first time that I had talked with him.    
      
   There is a Medical Circulating File on Possession, if you or others might be   
   interested to read same, and it is available free of charge to A.R.E. members   
   as a downloadable PDF at the A.R.E. website edgarcayce.org.   
      
   Blessings to you and your loved ones.

   --   
   P.S. Neither The Cayce Readings nor The Holy Bible advocate seeking   
   "spirit guides", but advocate rather going to the big guy himself - God,    
   and say, Why settle for someone less?   
   --   
   P.S. Instead of focusing on "finding work", you might consider starting your   
   own business. Think of something that people need, or something that you   
   can start doing for people.
