1. (Q) LS: What class of readings should be given by Edgar Cayce? (A) EC: This as we have given before:

Those that lend assistance to the up-build of others, without the expense of others' principles or selves.

Those that lend the assistance to those in the guiding, the directing, of their soul and spirit forces toward the mark of the higher calling as set in Him.

Those that give the incentive for the better things in the physical or earth plane.

Those that lend to the better developing of self through self, and that give the incentive to others, that the up-build toward the realm of the higher calling.

Those of the physical, for the physical must be fit to serve the better way.

2. (Q) Would the forces object to having readings given by Edgar Cayce for the location of oil wells for [4906], or others? (A) Not when the proceeds of such development are used in the forces as has been given. Those that are kept in accord with the conditions as have been given, without the expense of some other, or in use to take advantage upon someone else's weakness, or misunderstanding. When used in the correct channels, such information may be, and will be, found correct, when correct principles are used to direct the motive and incentive for such work. No, the forces would not object. This has given this, [4906]. [See 4906-1 correspondence and 4906-2 through 4906-9 in re Okla. & Texas oil wells.]

3. (Q) Should contracts be entered into between Edgar Cayce and [4906] to cover the assignment to Edgar Cayce of a fractional interest in any, or all, wells to be drilled by [4906]? (A) This may or may not be done. When the correct

incentive is given, and when those of their individual selves have found that force or law that gives of the forces to be used in the developing of self spiritually, mentally, morally, or financially, the obligation rests upon individuals from either plane. Well that they (such conditions) conform to secular laws, lest the last stages of such conditions be found worse than the first.
