1. GC: You will have before you the Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., its officers, members and friends; together with the psychic work of Edgar Cayce which is being presented by it. You will give for those assembled at this last meeting of the second Annual Congress, and for all those who may be interested in the work to whom it will go, a message on the scope, purposes and ideals of the Association; telling us how we may have a part in making the most of the opportunities and possibilities involved.
2. EC: Yes, we have the Association - as an association, the work that is presented by the organization in giving that which may be helpful to those that seek through these channels for that which may aid them in the needs of the present.
3. As we have given, first there must come to the individuals - through that presented from time to time - that which will supply that lacking in their consciousness, whether in the material, the mental or spiritual approach to the same.
4. Then there must be drawn by the individuals that parallel as to whether the ideals presented are in accord with that they would endow to the Creative Forces in their experience.
5. For, as the individual thinketh, as contemplation is made in the material self, there is builded the hope, expectancy, desire, to present or manifest that which is chosen by self as an ideal that the individual would worship in its idea of the Creator.
6. Hence, as the work of the Association - in its ideals and purposes - is to pass on to others that which has been found to be of help or aid in individuals' experience, so will the leaven be made that will determine - then in groups, then in masses - as to the value of such efforts in this material world.
7. Thus may the efforts grow, as there is presented through the Association - as individuals, members, friends - that which is truth.
8. For, the lord of the Way is as but a growing in

understanding and comprehension of those things, conditions and elements that would make for finding contentment in the service of Truth.
9. Then, the message that would be given by him, the lord of the Way:
10. BOW THINE HEADS, O YE CHILDREN OF MEN! FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD IS NIGH AT HAND! MAKE THINE OWN PATHS STRAIGHT, IN THAT YE WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY BEFORE THINE BROTHER, THAT YE PLACE NOT STUMBLING-BLOCKS IN HIS WAY NOR CAUSE HIM TO ERR IN THAT HE IS SEEKING TO FIND HIS WAY! LET THE LIGHT THOU HAST SHINE IN A MORE PERFECT WAY; FOR AS THE DAY DRAWS NEAR WHEN ALL MUST BE TRIED SO AS BY FIRE, FIND SELF ON THAT SIDE WHEREIN THINE BROTHER HAS BEEN AIDED!
11. We are through.
