1. MD: You will have before you the entity now known as [943], and his enquiring mind, present in this room. Also the ideals and plans regarding application to mankind of information given through the body of Edgar Cayce. This entity prayerfully asks, shall he handle and supervise all business matters, in the minutest detail, for and in behalf of Edgar Cayce personally and for the Association for Research and Enlightenment. Please give definite instruction at this time, answering the questions I will ask.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [943], present in this room. Also that information as has been given as respecting the ideals of Association, also those conditions as surround the various individuals as make up same.
3. In considering the questions as are sought by the entity in the present, these SHOULD be prayerfully considered before they are even asked; for, as has been seen and given, that the ideals of the Association for Research and Enlightenment should be established upon some DEFINITE line or aim, that there are more than just one phase of the application of information as may be received for the dispersing or dispensing to the aid of mankind. When these IDEALS have been set or DETERMINED, then ask; for the ideals of one as would manage the affairs of such an undertaking, as dispensing same to humanity for the aid of humanity, MUST - WOULD the dispensing and the ideals be in accord WITH the information as may be given - be one that has and is called of the Creative Forces themselves, and SO magnify that in the life and IN the dispensing, dispersing and giving to the human family; or else it must become a boomerang.
4. As to the entity handling the business affairs of Edgar Cayce to the minutest details, are their ideals [if their ideals are] one and the same, WELL. Unless they are, it must be in a manner that each would attempt to so coordinate their ideas as to find the common basis for an ideal. The

ABILITIES lie will within the entity's grasp, will the entity [if the entity will] so prepare self that there may be the answer from within as to whether the spirit bears witness WITH the Spirit of Creation, and that the promise is sure to self, and that self has been OBLITERATED IN the love as is able to be manifested in the entity's activities to its fellow man, in every detail. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Should Edgar Cayce and this entity sign a contract covering their mutual understanding on various activities? (A) When their ideals or ideas are centered in an IDEAL, then they may - if they deem it wise or necessary.
6. (Q) Will the reading and meeting in New York next Friday evening bring the results hoped for? (A) This the basis of that as is being given as a warning to the entity, that here - as is being sought - is not that the Spirit of the Divine may be first and foremost, but the hopes that that of material forces may be gained; that NEVER has there been given that evil should even be courted that good may come of same! It may EVENTUALLY. Work to the good of all, NOT in the immediate future!
7. (Q) Should the Ipsab proposition be closed on the terms and conditions as agreed upon between E. W. Zentgraf and this entity? (A) There are more than one proposition as respecting same. Before any proposition, anywhere, any kind, is made or attempted, there must be - for the GOOD of all concerned - a more perfect understanding as to the ideals.
8. (Q) Was the publication department of the Association handled in the right way and manner? (A) No! [See 943-12, Par. R1.]
9. (Q) Any other advice that would be helpful to this entity at this time? (A) Study to show thyself approved unto GOD, AVOIDING the APPEARANCES of evil. We are through.
