1. GC: You will have before you the enquiring mind and development of [1637], ..., N.Y.C., and his desire for knowledge respecting Inca treasure. Also the outline which has been furnished him, a copy of which I hold in my hand. Considering all the circumstances involved in such, give him such advice and counsel as will be a development for him at this time; answering the specific questions which may be asked.
2. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, [1637].
3. In giving advice or counsel in these particular experiences of this entity, much of that which forms the background of the entity in its experiences through the earth should be taken into consideration - as well as that desire toward the peoples of that vicinity or sphere of activity, and as to what might be accomplished.
4. That there is within the experience of the entity, [1637], the knowledge and experience latent yet very positive and very concrete, is indicated not only by the innate interest felt - and indicated - but in the abilities of the entity to arouse in the consciousness of those peoples, in their environment, a desire, a call for leadership, in such an one as the entity.
5. Then as to manners and means or ways, and whyfores:
6. As we find, the only manner in which CONSISTENCY and persistency may be given in doing that as would enable the entity not only through its own inner self but through the helps as may be obtained in the very environs in which this treasure may be sought, appears to be:
7. The entity prepare himself, first, as a material channel through which aid may be given to those peoples of the land and of those environs; in ministering to the physical needs of the individuals, of the natives and the peoples of the environ.
8. Then, too, give self in such a service; not with the singleness of purpose that the treasure is to be located AND that it is to be used by self in the exploiting of an ideal
1637-2 Page 2
or of any people - other than they to whom it rightfully belongs - and in making their material lot easier.
9. And if this is then done, and some ten to fifteen years of service spent by the entity in the environ, there may be not only gained the location and the treasures of the storehouse of the entity's own self and peoples, but a training, an activity that will enable the entity to be of a greater service to his fellow men of EVERY land. Not only in the manner of administering to their physical needs, their bodily wants as to physical healing, but as to much of that which is as a lost civilization - wherein there was the use of much of the knowledge which WAS a part of the ancestors of this ancient peoples.
10. To attempt to give or to make only an expedition would not only be foolhardy but contrary to the real, the deep convictions within the heart and soul of the entity itself; and thus the entity becoming as it were untrue to its own conviction.
11. Then, to prepare self, and to live among and with and for them, enabling them to meet their own problems; not only in the political and in the general social conditions which exist among them, but in enabling them to catch a vision also of that which is the answer in the heart of each Inca - that in Him, the Son, is indeed the great Inca! This is the manner, as we find.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Correct inaccuracies in present guide [See 1637-2, Par. B2], which I hold in my hand. (A) Answering such questions would be, as we have indicated, only trespassing - unless the activities, the desires are according to that which prompts the entity to seek to aid and help this people.
14. (Q) Give latitude and longitude of object of quest. (A) This is indicated by rather the very country, the very lands of this strange yet very sincere peoples; rather than the location of either the SOURCES of supply or that which was and is part of cache.
15. (Q) What is total value? (A) What is the value of a soul? Then multiply that by the many that may be aided by such a service! Enter not, my son, lest thou indeed desire to again lead thy people, thy brethren, to a greater concept of a living God!
16. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file le
