1. GC: You will have before you the psychic work of Edgar Cayce, all members of his family, and those directly associated with the work. Please tell me the progress that has been made with the work, if any, and what is the best way to handle this work at the present, and especially in regard the contemplated trip at this time to Florida. You will answer the questions that will be asked regarding this.
2. EC: Yes, we have the work and the various phases of same here. This we have had before.
3. Progress - there can be no progress. There can only be the knowledge of same and progress towards interesting others in same, for their own good and their own welfare, for in truth the work, the phenomenon, IS truth, and truth shall make one free. To be free indeed, then, is to gain that knowledge as is necessary to loose these bonds that bind one, whether of mental, physical, or of spiritual disabilities. The progress, then, in such dissemination, has and is in its own progress - for, as has been given, first individual, then as groups, as classes, as masses. In the first, this may possibly be misunderstood. Individual is as the work or application alone, and is of necessity the basis of all truth, for no individual or entity accepts as truth any truth save as that truth relates to its, the entity's, individual needs - or supposed needs - depending upon, then, the learning or the ABILITY of applying same in self's own interest; and the groups meaning the various phases of those elements necessary to bring the truth of phases necessary for development of individuals, groups, classes, masses, nations. As is seen, that necessary for the writer, for the astrologer, for the astronomer, for the physician, for the druggist, for the farmer, for the merchant, for ANY phase of human endeavor, is as class illustration of truth. That as the various phases of the phenomena developed shows progress. The work itself is an element that may leaven a great heap. As to how same shall be handled for the better success of same, in the way as is
254-34 Page 2
here outlined, and as has ever been given, to the individual needs apply the truth obtained. Through same the greater truths are seen and are capable of being applied.
4. As in application to the various conditions as have been contemplated, and as are being contemplated, progress in those directions is being and has been made. Continue to acquaint each one that has in any manner been directly or indirectly interested in the truths as may be gained and applied in the individual lives - made known to those, then, as has been outlined - in pamphlet, in letter, and continue to do so.
5. As regarding contemplated visit to Florida, as has been given, this would be well, properly handled or properly conducted - for "Seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you."
6. As for those associated with same, directly and indirectly, each gain their own concept, and each apply that as is applicable in their individual needs according to that intent as is set within self.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Would it be well to make this trip? (A) As given. Well to make such a trip. But there are many conditions regarding same as must be considered, as has been given, in that each member, each individual association with same, direct - their position, their condition, should be considered - for, as has been given, let thine heart be in true accord with that oneness of purpose - which is consistency.
9. (Q) It is desired by [2671] & [943] of Miami that the readings be used in attempting to locate treasure buried. Is it well that such readings be given at this time? [See [996] series, etc.] (A) These may be given when such conditions present themselves in a manner that is in keeping with the intent and purpose of truth, of law, of order, of conditions as relate to man's correct relations, one with another. As for buried treasure that belongs to individuals, to individuals they must be given. As for that that belongs to the finder - then locate and find same! This may be done!
10. (Q) Is it well that such readings be given at all? (A) Only when given when circumstances and conditions connected with same are above reproach, or that does not bring condemnation upon any - for, as was seen, it was naught to raise the wedge that was sunken, yet who would have such forces applied to all sunken weight? Or, as was given, there were many widows and orphans in the day of the
254-34 Page 3
famine, but was the prophet sent to naught but that one to whom even the life of the child was given? See? The intent and purpose, then, of all connected with same must be accord with the truth, or naught comes of same.
11. (Q) In the light of information already given regarding the visit to Florida, how should this be conducted or handled? (A) In the manner and way as is in keeping with the truths as have been presented from time to time, as that in accord with the forces, source, or the work or phenomena itself. That is, acquaint those associated in the undertakings, from which the information may furnish means for various elements or conditions in life, and when each and every associate is in accord with that - then in THAT way and manner conduct such, see? The intent, the purpose, is to serve, rather than to gratify own personal intent or gain - for, as has been given, there are three things that are abominable in the eyes of that Creative Force FROM WHICH all good emanates: Pride of the eye, pride of the heart, and the deceitfulness of the lust of the flesh.
12. (Q) What time would be best to make this trip to Florida? (A) When the house is set in order. That is, when those conditions necessary are in shape for those for whom information may be given that will prove beneficial in their lives. This would be about 25th, 26th, 28th, of January, or first of February, see?
13. (Q) Any further advice to those members of the family or those associated with the work? (A) Keep thyself in that way and MANNER as is acceptable to Him, the Giver of all good and perfect gifts - and keep thyself from idols.
14. We are through for the present.
