1. GC: You will have before you the situation which has arisen with the request of Murray Levine of 11 Slocum St., New Rochelle, N.Y., as presented through David E. Kahn and Hugh Lynn Cayce, for information through this channel Edgar Cayce regarding his son Peter David Levine, who was last seen leaving the Albert Leonard Junior High School, New Rochelle, N.Y., about 3:30 P.M., on February 24, 1938. You will tell us at this time if information of a helpful nature may be given through this channel and if so, just what approach should be made in subsequent readings to obtain the best possible results. If information of this kind will in any way be detrimental to this channel Edgar Cayce, you will tell us, and explain. You will answer the questions which will be asked:

2. EC: In considering such conditions, as has been indicated, there should be considered all phases and the purposes of the Work - and that to which it has been given and in Whom it is entrusted, as well as the experiences in the attempts to follow such characters of information and the physical results that have been the experience of the body Edgar Cayce.

3. These should be studied by those who are so sympathetically interested and are truly desirous of bringing help and comfort to a distraught parent; owing to the circumstances and the dead ends apparently that have been the attempts to communicate or to gain a knowledge of the son.

4. But consider also those experiences of the entity through whom ye seek such information. Not that information may not be given. As to whether it would be helpful or distracting or greater disturbing would still remain a question.

5. Again, consider the experiences in the past. What is

that thin veil between the sublime and the ridiculous? What have been the experiences concerning those things that have become stumblingblocks in the channel Edgar Cayce, regarding sex or associations or questionable companions or the like? These have ever followed the delving into the material affairs of individuals in which the associations were involved in things that partook only of the gratifying of material and secular desires.

6. Ye would not use a delicate object, even as a razor, for sharpening pencils! Ye would not give thy diamonds to children, nor cast thy pearls to swine!

7. Then, the judgment is to be upon those who are involved in the situations and the circumstance that has arisen in the associations.

8. This is not a condition that is out of the ordinary, but the work of a pervert. Hence it becomes all the more a question as to what the decisions are to be in same; all the more questionable to undertake such.

9. As indicated, then, considering all of these, the judgments as to whether or not it is to be undertaken rest with Hugh Lynn and David E. Kahn.

10. We are through for the present. Two copies to Hugh Lynn Cayce, Hotel Woodward, 55th & Broadway, New York City, one copy to be given to Sponsor, David E. Kahn - Sent Special - Phoned also Copy to Ass'n file
