1. GC: You will have before you the entities and enquiring minds of A. C. Preston, Gray Salter and Hugh Lynn Cayce, present in this room, and all their plans, activities and particularly the work near Kelly's Ford, Culpepper Co., Va. We humbly and prayerfully beseech that the Highest obtainable Forces deign to hear us now, to set us aright, to enlighten us, so that our minds can understand the correct interpretation of information given and recover the buried treasure that we may have the use of this money, so as to hasten our work to make manifest our love for God and man. In deepest humility we ask first that we may be enlightened as to why our previous efforts have failed, second to protect us from dissenting contrary forces, and third plead that we may be permitted, under the specific direction of the Highest Forces, to receive definite instructions as to how to recover the treasure.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, A. C. Preston, Gray Salter, Hugh Lynn Cayce, present in this room; the information as has been given as concerning the location, the operations, the efforts and the desires.
3. In answering many of those questions as are sought by these, as respecting the variations as have apparently come regarding the treasure as sought - these, in part, may be illustrated by something of the same manner as how the information as given is obtained. In the manner, in the way in which the information IS obtained through these channels, or these sources, are detrimental to the better PHYSICAL condition of the channel through which they come. Not on account of the information, the type of information, the manner in which it is sought, or the desire on the part of anyone concerning same. The UNCONSCIOUS way, or POSITION, towards polarization of the body when it gives such information, when such is given, the type or character of information should be considered as to the position of the body WHEN same is given. Material must be with the
3812-16 Page 2
polarization of the earth itself, or facing North; that as pertains to SPIRITUAL - or psychological conditions - should be as facing West; while others should be according to their variation as respecting MATERIAL or spiritual forces. [See 3812-16, Par. R1.]
4. Just so, then, in seeking for that that may be used in a material world, through the desires of individuals attempting to put themselves in accord, in that way of the purely MENTAL activities OF the individual, promising themselves, promising their creative forces, promising their activities as to WHAT would be done should that as sought be given. Then, that - as we find - has been, is, as a test for those forces, those activities, as each would accomplish in that of a SPIRITUAL activity THROUGH a material force. That the strength of each has been expended in the seeking would not be questioned. That the desire of each as respecting the activities are in accord is only answerable by those themselves. Are they able drink? Are they WILLING to act? This they have expressed themselves, as being willing, as being able. As to the gift as may be had by the continued seeking, and the obtaining of same, may be answerable only as to the manner in which each themselves WILL react TO that as may be accomplished by their efforts.
5. As we find, in the protection of selves against influences from without and from within - these may be best accomplished by the keeping constantly before each their own concept of the divine continuity of forces, called what each may term - in their OWN language - as the Creative, or ELEMENTAL forces; not elemental as to material, but as to spiritual environs.
6. As to the obtaining of same, as has been given - as we find - the treasure is intact; and ONLY a very short distance from where excavations have been made, going toward - more toward the embankment, or the buttress. Will they follow, will they carry on, these will make for a full, complete development. As they may answer within themselves, would they - WITH the finding of same - make better men, better citizens? Will the finding of same make them more in accord with the spiritual truths, or would a failure in a material manner separate them from that which would give Life itself? Answer within self. Make a contact with those of the elemental (Now we are speaking of material forces) as make for contacts with that of the finder, and check same with the information, within the next six to seven feet from that already excavated. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Which distance from the stump is the treasure. (A) Towards the abutment.
3812-16 Page 3
8. (Q) Is this six or seven feet from the stump? (A) From the excavation, in that towards the North, or towards - it isn't North, it's towards the East and North.
9. (Q) How much of an excavation must be made to include the treasure? (A) Six to seven feet. Check same with instrument.
10. (Q) Will you give us the source of the information? (A) As has been given, when sought in prayer - comes from the spiritual forces of the selves' development.
11. (Q) Any further advice and guidance? (A) Dig!
