Edgar Cayce; Margret Zentgraf, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Helene Zentgraf and Hugh Lynn Cayce.
1. MZ: You will have before you the psychic work of Edgar Cayce, present in this room. You will advise us at this time in regard to the proper development of this work for the greatest possible service to mankind, and answer the questions which I will ask. You will speak distinctly at a normal rate of speech.
2. EC: Yes, we have the work, the psychic work of Edgar Cayce, present in this room. This we have had before.
3. Oft has there been given ways, means and manners as to how such information might be given to those that seek through such channels for aids in the physical, the mental and spiritual welfare of individuals, of groups, of masses.
4. As has been indicated heretofore, first must it come to the individual; for in each soul it must be self-development. And in aiding, whether through the physical or mental, for individuals to attain to such an awakening, to such an understanding of their own responsibilities, of their own possibilities, their own opportunities in this material world, aid through this channel is being accomplished in the experience of many.
5. As has been given, first there must be in the soul and conscience of those that seek through such a channel that of the credence or confidence in the sources, in the character, in the very nature of the information itself, which - as has been so oft demonstrated may only be had through personal experience of individuals. When this has been accomplished in the minds of those of sufficient interest to be of aid to their fellow man, then comes those stages that have been indicated - which should be, at the period in the development of such understandings of such a work in the present, the GROUP stage; when these not all think the same thoughts but are of one mind - individual thought but one purpose, to be of service to their fellow man in making known to them the glory of the Father through the Son in their respective lives. For each then becomes a channel in its own ways and manners, and through its associations, through its very activities in the life experience of each, does it bring to the consciousness of others their own responsibilities in such, their own opportunities in such activities. Hence, as has been given, the group may spread that as He has given, "If ye love me, keep my commandments,"

and make it so known in a material world that much that has been set by the idiosyncrasies, by the faults, by the littleness, by the selfishness of human experience may be brought to naught. For, where two or three are gathered in His name, there may He be in the midst, if ye are LOVING His appearance; if it is not for selfish reasons, if it is not for the plaudit of self, for the laudation of self in the eyes of this or that. For, remember each, God looketh on the heart, not on the outward appearance, and it is not His will that any soul should perish.
6. Do thou likewise.
7. In such a way and manner, in such an understanding way, may those who have found in themselves that worthy of being a garment in the experience of the Master that they would present to their fellow man, use, distribute and gather together for the beneficent understandings in the experience of others through such a work.
8. As to how, the ways, the means, the understandings, the approaches:
9. Do what thy hand finds to do today; not of self, for GOD gives the increase. We, as individuals, are as channels of blessings; we as His disciples, as His brethren. "Who is my brother? Who is my sister? Who is my mother? They that do the will of my Father who is in heaven."
10. What is the will of the Father? That all men should know Him, through the acts of the ones that claim to be, or who are by their natural heritage, the brethren; by the deeds done in the body. Through FAITH are ye healed, through love are ye made free, in that ye do unto thy neighbor, thy brother, as ye would have them do unto you. For, the whole law, the whole gospel that has been proclaimed from the beginning, is "Love the Lord thy God with all thine heart," and, as the Master added, "thy neighbor as thyself." THIS is the will of the Father. This is that He would have ye do. This is that as is proclaimed through those that are worthy of being in access to those informations or thrones of teaching - and none else but His. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) You will consider the sitting with Mrs. Eileen Garrett, held in this room, on the afternoon of Feb. 3, 1934, together with the information and suggestions given by Uvani, her alleged control. Would it be advisable for Edgar Cayce to follow her suggestions as to seeking assistance from the entity described whom Uvani claims will increase the coherence and power of the readings? [507-1 Reports] (A) Does Uvani claim to know better than the Master who

made him?
12. (Q) Did the entity of Edgar Cayce pass through an Indian incarnation as Uvani states? (A) He did, in the same as Uhjltd!
13. (Q) What is the significance of the crystal ball sent Mr. Cayce from India and referred to by Uvani? (A) A means of concentration for those that allow themselves either to be possessed or to centralize their own spiritual activity through the raising of those activative forces in the physical body known as the centers through which concentration and meditation is accentuated by the concentrated effort on ANYTHING that will CRYSTALLIZE same into activity. A means for some. Rather, as has been given, let the proof come from that as may be visioned in the self. As in reference to that as stated by Uvani as being more efficient by being guided by one: Is it true in the hearts of men that there may be sought others that may aid them in comprehending or awakening themselves? True indeed may this be, but - as He has given - He is to be the Master, the Christ, sufficient unto every soul, the MAKER the CREATOR of all that is in this sphere! The LORD of all! Let HIM send whom HE would for the development, but rather prepare thine own body, thine own soul, for that meeting with Him. For, as He quickens through His presence in the heart and souls of men, they that climb up some other way are thieves and robbers.
14. (Q) Should information regarding ancestors be sought through this channel? (A) If presented in a way and manner that is of beneficent activity to those seeking, it may be given - but not through the GRAVE; rather in the Book of Life!
