    One correction: The unfinished sentence "Above it, "Ain Sof Aur" or
    "Limitless Light" represents " should read instead: "Above it, "Ain Sof
    Aur" or "Limitless Light" represents sojourns in solar systems other
    than this one, and may correspond to Arcturus, which according to Edgar
    Cayce is a sort of way-station for spirits in transit to or from this
    solar system and others and is the fixed star with the most important
    astrological influence.".
