Time of Reading 115 West 35th St., 3:50 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Virginia Beach, Va.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of Edgar Cayce, present in this room. Also information that has been given regarding this body making a trip to various centers for the purpose of getting contributions toward the Association of National Investigators, Inc., and the Institute - and you will tell this body as to whether this is the proper time, or just when he should visit these centers, and especially considering the circumstances and conditions of every nature, whether he should visit N. Y. at the present time. You will answer any other questions I may ask you respecting this.
2. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, and that information as given as respecting the visit of the body to centers for solicitation of contribution toward the Association and Institute, conditions surrounding the body and those interested in same - New York - and that as necessary for same.
3. Now we find while the body should visit such centers and places for this, and that there are many conditions to be considered respecting each of these centers, there should be specific preparation made would the body not expend more than the contributions would amount to.
4. As given, there are various groups in various centers through which contributions should come, and these may be expected, handled in the proper way and manner. These may be gummed up or hindered, rather than assisted, handled improperly. Hence, as we see, as given, let the groups be formed before such a trip is made. These are ESPECIALLY seen in Birmingham and Chicago - and AFTER the fifteenth of October such trips to these places should be made.
5. As respecting conditions in New York, those conditions surrounding the visit there are of that nature that best that the holidays be passed before such a trip is made; that is, those of the Jewish holidays, for most of the contributions will be through such groups. Hence we see one

or the other of the other places SHOULD be visited before the New York trip is made. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Should the body make the trip to Chicago after the 10th? (A) As given, after the 15th.
7. (Q) Should he then go to New York or Birmingham? (A) Depending upon circumstances and conditions.
8. (Q) Just what specific holidays are referred to? (A) Those of the Jewish holidays occurring on Tuesday and Monday of the coming weeks. Tuesday of next week, Monday of the week following.
9. (Q) Advise the body just how these groups should be handled in the proper manner. (A) Through that of individuals heading societies or groups who are studying phenomena of the nature that is being investigated, or the PROPAGATION of the work of such phenomena being worked by the Association who are interesting others in the phenomena they are studying. Then, individuals, of course, who have been and are interested already from the various conditions that have surrounded their touch or contact with the phenomena.
10. (Q) Give this body [Edgar Cayce] any advice and counsel that will assist him in any way regarding this question. (A) There are many things to be considered. There are many individual opinions. There are many circumstances surrounding the various conditions as respecting this solicitation and the work of the Association at the present time. As has been seen, there are the comparative few of those who are the heads - or supposed heads, or active on paper - of the institute that are as yet in whole accord with that being attempted. Each, then, have their various ideas concerning same. There MUST be cooperation. While there is always in such work the work of one, two, three individuals who actually perform the WORK, yet to succeed there must be whole-hearted cooperation. There is, and has been given, that this should be done. Do it NOW! and there has also been given that would the work succeed such work must be carried to the individuals, then to groups, then to the masses. As is seen, this will be accomplished - NOT in a day, not in any ONE given time, save when there is seen a concerted action on the part of those that are in accord with the proper manner of establishing such work, see? Delays, apparently, are dangerous. As seen, there is the necessity soon of considering MANY of the various phases of that already undertaken - yet this, as is seen, is working even as the leaven that leaveneth the whole lump.
11. We are through for the present.
