Time of Reading 12:05 to 12:10 Noon Eastern Standard Time.

1. HLC: You will have before you the work of the Ass'n for R. & E., Inc., in presenting the work of Edgar Cayce. You will give advice and guidance for those directing operations, and answer questions regarding prospective activities.

2. EC: First of all, the health and the associations, relationships with the body [Edgar Cayce], should be maintained in a more equitable manner; as in keeping with the preservation of the strength and vitality of same.

3. As in relationships to various groups' activities, the spreading of the fields and activities through the work of the Association, these have been well kept. They need only the correct guidance here and there in their associations with the messages or tenets or principles that are to be presented, are being presented, and as to HOW that these shall be extenuated into the lives and meanings of others without becoming personal things at all! For PERSONALITY begets censure, and censure begets error; and the end thereof is strife.

4. Ready for questions.

5. (Q) What is advised regarding the Washington trip, as to the best time and proper subject for lecture? (A) Let these conditions all be chosen according to the circumstances and needs of the situations. Those things that should be done from the material angle, don't choose to have them sought from other than - You are as bad as those who seek material activities to be directed by spiritual forces, when these are to be determined by the necessities and the needs of the physical forces as related to same! See? These should be controlled or governed by the material circumstances.

6. (Q) Should a trip be made to Detroit, Michigan, as requested by the Warshawsky's? (A) This, too, would depend upon the circumstances; as to the physical health of the channel through which the information comes, and those things that are sought owing to

the general conditions surrounding the material or home office, and owing to those material effects and conditions brought about by the activities in the Washington association; depending altogether upon these. Then also upon the numbers, or as to the assurance of associations and connections as made for the Detroit trip, see? Know to whom and how, through what channels ye are to go; as to what are the meetings of the various groups there. You have a Theosophist Society; again you have also the various other groups - as Unity, as the Spiritualistic movement there; which may be combined; or from each there may be drawn a nucleus about which the activities may be carried on. For there's a great deal of activity there. Well to consider it seriously; but don't overdo - that is, through the body itself, its strength, its vitality. Remember, you are dealing with material experiences.

7. We are through for the present.
