1. GC: You will have before you the bodies and the enquiring minds of Gray Salter, Hugh Lynn Cayce, Edgar Cayce and Thomas House, present in this room, and the dream which Gray Salter had this morning, January 9, 1931, in which he and Hugh Lynn and Thomas discovered an iron tub containing layers of manuscripts and gold pieces, after which a voice spoke from space, saying "This is a small amount which if used aright will lead to finding the great fortune. Let's see what you'll do with it." You will interpret this dream, telling whether it refers to the places visited on the afternoon of January 7, 1931, and you will answer any questions which these individuals will ask regarding this or any other experiences.
2. EC: Yes, we have the enquiring minds, Gray Salter, Hugh Lynn Cayce, Edgar Cayce, Thomas House, present in this room, also that experience of the subconscious forces or mind of Gray Salter in which there were visions and the discovery of iron tub, papers or manuscripts, with gold, also the voice.
3. In the interpretation of this, as respecting the information that has been given concerning the manner in which each might - through their own individual experience - bring that to bear which would enlighten each as to how, why, and in what manner each, as individuals or as groups, might aid in furthering those interests mankind may gain in those sources or channels, or information, as each has set self to do:
4. This, as is seen, is an individual experience of the entity, as a test - for the greater portion of same is true, yet WOULD not, COULD not be located until the proper time, the proper attitude, the proper conditions were within the experiences of each individual. Is not just the condition being sought materially? that as has been questioned in others, as to their attitude, as to their ideal - the IDEA well, but material. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Are these four proceeding in the correct manner, so

as to allow the forces to direct them individually? (A) This, as is seen - at least ONE has held that within self that has enabled him to so gain an attunement as to be able to put, as it were, on the rack, as to whether the individual will act within accord with that which has been given; for when direction has been given, do these intend to follow it? or to BEND it to suit their own convenience and the needs of the hour?
The conditions are set forth, that each - in their own respective ways and manners, in conducting their lives, their activities, in that channel - as well as they know, using that IN HAND from day to day - there will be given all that thou art ABLE to bear. One is not TEMPTED beyond that they are able to bear; neither are those given that which they are not able to understand. Will they apply those given, those conditions in their experience, in their individual lives, more will be given them. Remain true, or in the same attitude that has oft been given, "There is set before thee this day GOOD and evil. Choose thou."
6. (Q) Should Gray Salter use this experience now? (A) Use this experience now in the manner that has been given; not the time nor the place, but committed unto the body as that (which was given), "What wilt thou do with this?" Remain true or attempt to abuse that as given.
7. (Q) What was the voice that spoke to the body? (A) That of the superconsciousness of the body.
8. (Q) Will you give these four any practical suggestions as to how they may allow these forces to come through? (A) These have been set in VERY DEFINITE lines. Use that thou hast! Do all you know to do at present, as it were. DON'T try to hasten that thou knowest is not the best!
9. (Q) What is the best for Thomas House to do in regards to going home at this time? (A) If that seemeth the best, in the mind, in the circumstances, in the conditions, that do. Use that circumstance, that knowledge, that IS IN HAND! As that is applied, that necessary will be given. We are through for the present.
