Time of Reading Unknown.
1. DEK: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are going into a quiet, restful, normal sleep. You will hear me when I speak and give me the information which I will ask of you this evening, in detail, slowly and distinctly. Now, Mr. Cayce, you are asleep. You hear me and will give me the information that I will ask. Locate the body of [900] which is in the room. You will answer the questions on his physical, financial and spiritual body, as related to the reading you gave him September 2nd, last [900-2]. You will tell this body how he may associate himself with the body of Edgar Cayce, now also in this room, to promote the psychic work of Edgar Cayce. You will tell this body [900] how he may help the body of Edgar Cayce to establish the Cayce Institute for the cure of humanity's ills, and how the body [900] may be of assistance to the body of Edgar Cayce. You will go into detail and be specific. You will answer the questions and you will not be through until I say you are.
2. EC: We have these bodies here, their associations that have been and that may be. Also their conditions as regarding those conditions in physical, spiritual and financial, as outlined on September 2nd. See? DEK: Yes, sir.
3. As to the physical conditions in the body of [900] - these we find are better than when we had this body here before; not that all are in the normal conditions throughout the body but the inclinations, the conditions that produce the conditions retarding the functioning of the system are better; that conditions, that is, the improvement is especially in the eliminations of the system and in the manner in which the assimilations affect the various functioning organs. We see this in the circulation where conditions have been changed, in the cervical and dorsal regions. See? DEK: We see.
4. As to those conditions as how the body of [900] may be
900-5 Page 2
associated with the body of Edgar Cayce and the work - in this we find as has been given. There are many ways in which [900] is especially fitted for such relations. This we find, to make the appeal and the one most satisfactory, first must [900] feel and know the understanding of the work, and, as would be termed in common parlance, "sell" himself on the work. See? Then, in many ways may he, [900], prove of benefit to such conditions. As to how, they should not be set from here, for they have to do with the physical and the material forces of the spheres. See?
5. (Q) As given in the last reading, to acquire worldly goods this body should acquire control of smaller groups or institutions - what is meant by institutions or groups?

These are heads or parties interested in groups and institutions. See? Of their own volition they present their conditions. See? Through the body's [900]'s, influence such groups may be turned to the use of the body in financial ways. These are the groups and institutions as given. These we see grow from time to time. See? As shown here.
6. (Q) How may this body better develop his powers of vision? (A) Through the understanding of self, for the vision or insight is of the soul and spirit force. For, learn that those that are for the uplift or assistance to individuals give and lead to the better force and development. Without the selfish motives must all be carried on, remembering that in the compliance of all law with the laws of cause and effect, with that of the compensation, is ever in accord with self's purposes expended. See?
