TEXT

1. LS: Now, you have before you Edgar Cayce and the psychic work being done through him, assisted by Linden Shroyer and Gladys Davis. You will answer all questions and give such other information relative thereto for the best interests for the work, as requested.
2. EC: Yes, we have this here. We have had this before, you see.
3. (Q) Is the work being carried on along the proper lines at present?
   (A) Yes and No. There are some lines that are being accorded to as has been given. There are others that are not. There should not be any reading or information relative to physical conditions of a body without that individual's knowledge, or of one physically related or in direct responsibility for physical and spiritual environment and training. In this we see there have been some violations. [GD's note: TRUE! I ck'd the Red Datebook today, 1/31/83, and SEVERAL Physicals had been given recently without the request directly, and without the "patient" knowing of it beforehand.]
   No other information for any individual giving that individual the fore knowledge of conditions that might, could or would be used as detrimental to some other individual.
   As other conditions we would say very good, and the results shall be, will be ever the answer for whether conditions are carried on in a correct manner.
4. (Q) As these individuals are depending entirely upon the income received from the readings which are given, and which is not of sufficient amount for their sustenance and the further support of the work, you will give explicit information and suggestions as to how a sufficient amount may be obtained.
   (A) When there is credence given in the heart, mind, soul and body of those depending upon the forces of such manifest conditions, then there is sufficient of the earthly needs supplied through those sources, and "he that having put his hand to the plow and turns back is worse than the infidel." [1 Tim. 5:8]
   In the present conditions there needs be a more thorough understanding from and to all those who have already given credence to the benefits that are, have been and may be received through such work, and that the work is depending upon the support of same through the goodness, the consciousness, the ever willing soul, spirit, physical force that will supply those needs necessary to care for those giving of their selves. For the Lord has said, "The gold and silver is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills, and he that abideth in me shall ask and receive, and sufficient unto the day [are] the needs thereof. Consider the lilies; how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin, yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these."
   When thou doest the work that guides the creatures of His making more closely to Him, thou only hast to ask and thou will receive. Be not dismayed. Be not afraid, for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. Be up and doing with a heart that fainteth not, for "I am the way, the truth and the light. No man COMETH UNTO THE Father but by me, and whatsoever thou asketh in my name, that will the Father give unto thee."
   Be not afraid.
