(Q) Is Archie Adlman, who is present in this room, the
proper person to be associated with the work in the capacity
of manager, and is he capable of handling same?
(A) He is capable of handling same, and would be, under
certain conditions, the proper person to handle same; that
condition namely from the material standpoint. Sell himself
on the work. In the capacity of manager, as has been given,
it is necessary that there be such a person as manager; he,
as has been given in this individual, Archie Adlman, a child
of promise. Then let that innate force, that psychic force
within self awaken to the possibilities of the giving through
the promise as was made by the Creator, and with that
foreknowledge of same weighing well with the vicissitudes of
the present day and generation, with that determination
within self in the heart, mind and soul, Archie Adlman, we
are speaking of, to give, to exploit, to propound, to spread
abroad the everlasting truths as is set in such work and
phenomena. The proper individual would be one under that
class.
Then he must, then, determine within his own heart and soul,
with all of the possibilities that arise from such
connections in the material, in the religious, in the moral,
in the financial, in the secular world; all must be
considered, and with these on heart, soul and mind offer up
that supplication before the throne of Him, the Creator, and
as the answer must come, not in the storm, not in the darts
of the fame, glory, but in that still small voice that
answers from within. Through such must any individual pass
that would accept the management of such work. As has been
given as ensamples, there are many, many, that would in some
phase answer to such a condition. This individual, Archie
Adlman, must answer for himself. As we give here, well, and
one capable of guiding and directing the work to that
successful plane from which it should be spread to all the
waiting world at the present time.
(Q) Would Archie Adlman be the proper person to manage the
work with Morton H. Blumenthal financing same, and would
Morton Blumenthal finance same if Archie Adlman would handle
it?
(A) He would, for there is in the heart and soul the
answering chord of the response of the great I AM within the
heart and soul of each, and only needs the quickening of the
divine, who gives this injunction as in days of old, "I have
this day set before thee good and evil. Choose thou whom
thou will serve." Or, as has been the injunction again, "Let
the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be holy
and acceptable unto thee, my God and my Redeemer." Only
under such connections, under such guidance, will the work be
presented in the manner as it should be. Then let the
injunction from each be this:
MAKE ME, O GOD, THE MESSENGER BEFORE THY CREATURES, THAT THOU
MAY BE KNOWN AS THE ONLY TRUE AND LIVING GOD, EVER SPREADING
THE WELLS OF LIVING WATER, AS IS MADE THROUGH THE ADVOCATE
WITH THE FATHER, THROUGH HIS WORD MADE MANIFEST IN THE FLESH,
TO ALL WHO WOULD HEARKEN UNTO HIS HOLY NAME.
(Q) Under present circumstances and conditions, how should
Edgar Cayce go about to exploit the work?
(A) As has been given, have that one as a manager, and
spread the news of the work before the whole world, as has
been given. Do that, in the manner as given.
(Q) Please outline the best plan for Archie Adlman to start
in exploiting the work, as manager.
(A) First find self and make self right with his God, for
the beginning of wisdom is the knowledge of the Holy One, and
the answer is within self. On such must all perfect
foundations, explorations and plans be builded.
We are through for the present.
BACKGROUND
See
294-11 on
9/18/24.
Background on Mr. Archie Adlman who requested 254-12 and was
present for it on
9/19/24: Mr. Adlman, a Jew, was the man
who appeared at the Phillips Hotel room door on
12/20/23 with
$25 cash requesting a reading for his sister. (Just prior to
that EC and LS emptied their pockets to see if they had
enough money combined to take the three of us out to get a
bowl of soup.) The reading was given that afternoon and
subsequent check physicals later. Mr. A. also had several
personal readings. He was interested in helping EC promote
his work. Being Manager of Loew's Theatre in Dayton, he had
some idea, I think, of exploiting Mr. Cayce on the stage as a
wonder man. (You can see his name indexed under NAMES:PEOPLE
MENTIONED several times in other peoples' readings.)
REPORTS
9/17/24 This letter was mailed from Hopkinsville, Ky. to
Edgar Cayce by his Father, Mr. Leslie B. Cayce:
HOPKINSVILLE, KY
My Dear Sweet Precious Boy:-
Just received your note of the 15th and am certainly sorry to
know you are not feeling well; have you taken cold, or just
worry? Or is it both? I certainly am sorry and will ask you
please let me hear from you often, every day if convenient,
that I may know when you are better. Of course I know how
you feel under the circumstances and certainly sympathize
with you and trust and pray you will soon be alright, and
please let me know when you are. Or, if you do not get along
alright and there should be any thing that I can do, let me
know and you well know I will only be too glad to do anything
I can for you.
I wrote you yesterday and have nothing new to write. All
very well, or getting about very well and as well as could
expect. Certainly wish I could see and be with you some, I
don't think I ever wanted to see you as bad.
Have you heard any thing more from Chicago? What are they
doing up there in the way of organizing for you, and your
work? When did you hear from Dave? Do you hear from
Klingensmith any more? He certainly seemed very much
interested when he was here, and I thought very earnest.
Possibly he is in same fix of some others, not in position to
do any thing. I am certainly surprised that you haven't
heard from Mrs. Bethea; it is strange to me that she doesn't
answer your letters anyway, whether she has done anything or
not. Do you see or hear from Lammers now? Is he still
connected in any way? I know you are more interested in your
own health and feelings just now and so am I and certainly
hope you will be alright and feeling good even before you
receive this letter. And please be sure to let me hear from
you.
With a heart full of love and good wishes and trusting and
praying earnestly that you are feeling better and will
continue to be real well in every respect, I am sincerely,
Your devoted father, L. B. Cayce
9/26/24 Dr. A. C. Layne's letter to Edgar Cayce: [GD's note:
This was the man credited with "discovering" Edgar Cayce,
prior to the Dr. Wesley Ketchum days.]
Dr. A. C. Layne
Osteopathic Physician
223 W. College St. Phone No. 308
Griffin, Georgia
My dear friend Edgar:
I was sorry to hear you had lost your voice again. Mr. E. C.
McCollum informed me of the fact. [GD's note: Mr. E. C.
McCollum is Dr. Layne's brother-in-law, the father of the
child whose reading Lucille Kahn witnessed in Dayton [
4281-4]
on Dec. 9, 1924.] Pack your grip and come to Griffin, and
stay a week or ten days, and I will put you to talking at
once. I will also give you treatments to take that weakness
from the vocal cords. What you need is rest and the proper
treatment to restore the tonsal tissue and the vocal cords
back to a healthy condition. It will pay you to do this, and
I know how to do it, not guessing about it.
I am
Fraternally yours, Dr. A. C. Layne
10/01/24 EC's reply to Dr. A. C. Layne:
P.O. Box 463
Dayton, Ohio
Dear Mr. Layne:
I have yours of the 26th and I certainly thank you very much
for your kind consideration and for your offer. I know
nothing that would please me much better than to spend a few
days with you, but this is impossible, for I cannot spare the
time. I'm very thankful to say that I am feeling entirely
well again. I'm very much in hopes that you are feeling real
good. I'd like to have a letter from you whenever you have
the opportunity.
Again thanking you for your kind consideration, and with best
wishes to you and yours, I am
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce [EC:GD]
