1. GC: You will have before you the psychic work as done by Edgar Cayce, you will also have before you the enquiring mind, and the intent and purpose in that mind regarding the work of Edgar Cayce, of [900]. You will tell us, please, to what extent this work may be used toward giving formulas for the manufacture of various and sundry articles that would be to the benefit of mankind, especially such as a light that would penetrate fog, or malleable glass. These two, especially, are in the mind of [900]. May the formula be given, and just how should this be used, and may it? You will also tell us if there may be other things of this character given, and how these should be used.
2. EC: Yes, we have the psychic work here, and the mind, the intent and purpose, of [900] as regards and in respect to same.
3. As to the formulas that may be given, and the use and purpose to which these may be used, and the conditions surrounding same:
4. Now, we find much has already been given in respect to this, yet a reiteration of many of these conditions as respecting same may be made worth while at the present time in the mind, mentally, of Edgar Cayce and of [900]. [See 137-38, Par. 13-A of 12/7/25 in re such a fog lamp. Also see case numbers indexed under Science:Inventions and check out the rdgs. given on such prior to this 4/13/26 date.]
5. All force is as one force. Hence the universal forces. All knowledge is as one knowledge. Hence may be attained from the universal force or knowledge.
6. As to the application of same in the physical plane, this, as we see, becomes MAN'S end of the job, for law, universal law, remains as one and the same, and when a cross section, or an idea as pertaining to same meets an idea of same from another angle, it is NOT the diversion of the law, but of man's conception of that law.
7. The information as may be attained, or gained through such forces as are manifested in or through the psychic forces as are manifested in or through the psychic forces of
254-30 Page 2
Edgar Cayce, or of other psychic phenomena, is the reflection of the individual's attainment towards the concept of the universal law. When these are made applicable in the lives of individuals, or when the individual physical consciousness can obtain the conscious precept as given, or the workable effect of such a law, same may be applied in the physical life for the benefit of man.
8. As has been given, there are many, many, MANY, formulas, in MANY different channels, in MANY different phases of human endeavor, that could be, WOULD be, assisted through the information as may be obtained through such a source. Those as pertain first to the physical conditions of the human body, in preparing the functioning of same to the normal conditions as exist through the physical plane, under the ENVIRONS of physical and of mental conditions of the individual. Also those same as would be, or as are applicable in the lives of each and every individual as may attain to an understanding of such laws or elemental conditions.
9. As to the intent and the purpose of the mind of [900] towards such work or such phenomena, this should not be questioned from such a source or force, for as given, each individual IS accountable to that portion of the divine from within for that to which purpose, the knowledge of the universe or divine, is applied in its individual passage through the earth's plane.
10. As to the various conditions, or as to those elements as are given, or here given, in the mind of the body physical of [900], as for the light that may penetrate the fog, in this, as has been given, we have two ELEMENTAL conditions to be dealt with, one becoming destructive to the other to make same applicable or conscious in the consciousness of individuals. This may be accomplished, yet there must much more consciousness of the shadow side of life, PHYSICAL, be made conscious before same may be made in a physical manner to be a condition worthy of being used. Much easier would it be to apply that FORCE as is seen in many different ways in the universe to an effectual manner of serving man, than to produce ONE force to overcome another elemental force, as are manifested in man's own conscious precept of elemental conditions in a material world.
11. As to that as may be applied in malleable, or in glass that will bend, as is seen and known, the same manner, the same way, of making glass, or that substance called glass, from the elements of the earth's storehouse, is in all practical applications the same as was used twenty-five hundred - yes, forty-five hundred years ago, as are counted
254-30 Page 3
in earth's years; yet there may be still applied those physical elements, now known to man's consciousness, to produce such an element that will act in the place or the capacity of that substance now called glass. This too, however, necessitates the more perfect consciousness of those elements that go to make up flexibility of that called hardened or crystalized substances; for, as we see, in the present state, or as has been seen, there is no element in the physical plane with the present elasticity of that called glass - that is, a piece, strip of glass, bent in a manner, after becoming crystallized, bended to that point of not breaking, but of its own flexibility, no matter how long same may be kept in that position, the moment it is released it retains the first or former place or condition. No other element will do such. Hence, as there is seen then, necessary that a greater consciousness of that called crystallization of substances as are known in the make of glass be gained; though, with study, with a higher concept, a more perfect concept of same, this may become possible.
12. As to the numbers, or the many various fields, each and every individual who may attain to that individual's bent or trend may use such information as may be obtained from universal forces to apply in their individual fields of endeavor for the benefit of mankind; not when man attempts to apply another field of endeavor from individual's own bent or trend, which is as applying one elemental condition in diagonal position to another elemental condition, and the end thereof is bad.
13. As to the conditions as may be used, as there is seen, and as has been given, NEVER any information as regarding any specific condition, may or can be given, save as that individual seeking same applies self in that direction, so, when any information as may be obtained from the universal forces does NOT apply in the way and manner in which the individual feels is correct, the individual may know the fault in same lies within self - not in the universal forces, but in the application of the information, either in the manner of presenting same for the information, or in the application of self, in purpose, in intent, or the manner of applying same from the infinite to the finite.
14. Then, as has been given, there are many various conditions that may be made helpful, beneficial, to mankind, for, EVER man from within seeks to manifest the concept as is gained (individual) of the universal force, or of the creative element, as is consciousness of same from within, and as these consciousnesses are applied, and as these may be applied in the life, PHYSICAL, of the individual, such
254-30 Page 4
information as will assist that entity, that individual, that mind, to attain a more perfect and a better concept of that attempting to be given, the greater becomes the field of vision of the individual, and the more service same may render to its fellow man, for the Universal Force, the powers that be, IS. Man's concept of same is man's ABILITY to apply that that IS to the man that lives, whether in a physical, material, moral, mental, or what not, plane. For man's concept, in its various phases of attempting to give out that consciousness, divides the various phases of the laws of the universal forces in their various channels. There are many HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS, of such illustrations, for, as each INDIVIDUAL is a portion of the Universal Whole, each individual gives its individual concept, until that concept is One with the Whole.
15. We are through for the present.
