1. GC: You will have before you Edgar Cayce, [287], [943], and [4825], who are present in this room, and you will tell them if it is possible, through the information which might be given through these forces, to build a world organization which would control finance, railroads, oil and steel industries, newspapers, and news syndicates, and shipping industries; not only in the United States but in each nation of the world, and you will state or formulate a policy by which this may be accomplished, so that the power and influence gained thereby may be used for the upbuilding of mankind by establishing hospitals, churches, schools, farm loans, rural road constructions, throughout all the nations of the world. You will answer the questions I might ask you regarding this.
2. EC: Yes, we have the minds of the individuals as given, as individuals, and those ideas and ideals of each as concerning the formulation of such plans as outlined.
3. There may be given, through these sources, that information whereby such conditions might be made - not only as ideals, but as formulated plans of outlining such conditions, and bringing same to that point where they would be workable; for the ideals of the ages stand as the interest of each in their way of manifesting such conditions before the world, and for the world.
4. In considering such, there are many things for each to consider, and the various phases of same; for such conditions have been the dream of many an individual, and of many with much more material power and prestige than those as would consider such at the present. Same was the idea of Alexander when he sought to conquer the world, yet the tenets of the ideal were forgotten in the desires of the flesh, and while the principles as set forth in the mind and heart of the man as the student under Plato and Archimedes, and Aurilius and others, the MAN became so gored by the greed of power as to become the loathsome body - as it passes to its reward for the use of the power as given into the hands.

5. Again we find the dream of such power in the mind and the hands of one [Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, World War I] not yet passed into the reward of deeds and thoughts (for they are deeds done in the body), in that in which the whole world rose, as it were, to subjugate such conditions.
6. Then, where would such as these, in their lowly state - as compared to these - seek that which would become the policy of such an idealistic plan, or the idealistic outlook for such organizations?
7. Only in Him in whom there was found no guile, and though He were buffeted by man - though He was ridiculed by those in power, though He suffered among those convicted of crime in the flesh, and railings against their fellow man - yet those tenets as were proclaimed by that as the man, making self as the son of man, and through those conditions became the Son of the living God - in these tenets, in THESE ways and manners, may such conditions be brought to the realization of those that would BUILD an invisible empire within the hearts of men; and seeking then the way for each one as would head each organization as would be necessary, there would be seen that in a short while there may be brought into realization that that would be able to rule - NOT as an iron rule of the oppressor; not as one seeking to subjugate others to the will - but MAKING the will one with that universal force as is necessary to bring everyone to that throne of grace, of faith, of hope, of love, of ALL those conditions necessary to build hospitals, churches, roads, loans, and help others to help themselves.
8. Yes, such information may be given - used aright to these as named.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) What would be the first steps necessary to take to form such an organization? (A) First the choosing of those who would give self in holy communion with this one purpose and, making self right with God, choose to be used as an INSTRUMENT of good for the saving of the good in human principles; for, as is seen, as has been given, the world awaits the coming of those who will proclaim the day of freedom from the bonds of those who would rule, either through prestige or through political influence, see? Then, ones so chosen by their fitness - as will come through such communion - will be the first to begin. See? For, as each are chosen, through these same forces there may be given their perfect fitness for such elements; for, as in this: As these seek, let's give to each their place, their niche, their abilities, their conditions, concerning such ideals. To some these are as
3976-4 Page 3
ideals that may be used, see, for their own personal gains. To others these are as ideals that will be as benefits to the world, see? We are speaking of individuals, as individuals. First, in Edgar Cayce, we find one lowly in heart - ever seeking to do good, as good is understood by the individual, and willing ever to be USED as an instrument for the speaking of those in whom such elements of an Arcadia have been the dream of their earthly experience. Giving then to those in charge, or as directors, that individual information necessary to meet each and every condition as arises. In [287] there is found first that necessity of making self's inner self one with that creative energy that would make an answer of "My spirit beareth witness with Thy Spirit, O God, that I am Thy Son, and willing to be used as an instrument of good toward the giving of mankind the opportunity to know the will of Thy Son as may be manifest through MY activities toward my fellow man, in carrying out that which will become the crowning glory of MY life, and my service to my fellow man; laying aside those things that so easily beset, and I will run the race as is set before me in Him!" In that as is seen in [943] - that ability to defend those principles as may be given for the direction of such conditions as are necessary to make such elements feasible, plausible, workable and APPLICABLE, in the lives of individuals chosen as channels through which such information, such monies, such positions, may be obtained, that such may become possible. Keeping self ever in that way and manner. In that of [4825] there is seen the ability of the use of power and of principle, yet that inner self must be made over again, as it were, in that oneness of the purpose as has often been set in self, yet finds self oft and anon forgetting the way. Keep each not as religion, but as the dictates of the heart to guide, direct, the fellow man - for before each there is set a way, and in that way is set a light. Veer not from same! Let him that is weak of mind or heart not take the handle, for he that ploweth and looketh back is worse than the infidel.
11. That is all the questions for the present.
12. As given, this may be outlined. These are worthy, will
3976-4 Page 4
they make themselves one in the purpose as set; for many peoples - in many nations, in many climes - are ready and wiling to follow that Light, that Star.
13. We are through for the present.
