3. (Q) Morning of November 27, 1926. I arrived at the Cayce's and found Mrs. Cayce in the kitchen and greeting her, said: "Hello, Mrs. Edgar - I mean Mrs. Cayce, how are you and Edgar?" She was cordial enough and motioned to the next room, and entering I saw Cayce lying down with a sore eye and in charge of a young man doctor, who seemed to have a companion with him. Also Cayce seemed to have been drinking more liquor than was good for him and was in a rather bad way mentally and physically. I was surprised and disappointed. Again I found myself alone with my message of approval unable to tell it to one who I thought would be interested, even if my wife and brother were not. "Why don't you take your own medicine?" I asked Cayce. "Why don't you take a reading for yourself?" The doctor answered me: "I don't believe in those physical readings. I don't take any stock in them." Again I was bewildered and disappointed. "About six out of ten of them prove correct," he said. "Well, even at that, six out of ten isn't so bad," I replied. "Too uncertain. I don't believe them," he answered. Then Cayce got up and pressed back the sore eye that seemed extended. I was sorry that he was in this condition - that he wouldn't help himself and that he was under the influence of this man. (A) In this there is presented a portion of that as has

already been seen by the entity, as respecting the attitude of various individuals as regarding the message and its effect upon individuals, with its corresponding reflection in the mind of the entity attempting to give same. In this there is seen the entity attempting to reach the source or the place where the entity has felt that the conditions should be in keeping with that as is attempted, yet in this household there is apparently every condition that would prove to entity that these themselves do not believe in that as is being given by or through these sources, and the entity feels the rebuke in self and at those about self, yet the entity gains that attitude that, though the channel may be inferior, the message is Truth - for it, the message, has gained approval.
In the lesson the entity gains is that: "Others do as they may, but for ME and mine, we will serve the living God." This, then should be the entity's attitude under all circumstances and conditions, for only in the attitude will the entity hold or ever keep in that way of the approval as is necessary for the entity to gain that inner consciousness of the oneness of purpose with that Universal Force as is necessary to make same worth while.
