TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you Edgar Cayce, present in this room, and his family, and conditions surrounding same. Also [900] of ... Road, ..., New Jersey, and conditions surrounding him, also the associations between Edgar Cayce and [900], also conditions in and around Virginia Beach, as related to the association of these two, [900] and Edgar Cayce and their association with psychic phenomena. You will please give any information to any or all of these that will assist in making the success as has been given as regarding the move to Virginia Beach. You will please answer any questions I may ask you regarding any of these conditions.
2. EC: Yes, many, many, suggestions may be given for the good of all associated with the work; [it] needs the instruction and purpose necessary to make same succeed in the way and manner as has been given, for we find this has been approached from many angles. Then, to give that that would be beneficial, we would first begin from that of the locations and why.
3. In the reasoning from the physical plane, the action of the environ-mental conditions create a condition through which certain forces may manifest in an easy or an hard manner, see? For instance, easier for electricity to pass over iron than over glass, see?
4. Then, in the environ-mental forces in and about Virginia Beach and vicinity, there is that necessary for the reaching of many peoples of many climes, see? for the close proximity of the various spheres of active study in the various channels of education are through centers as will be found in touch with these channels, see? and from same a radiation would reach to a much broader field than has been possible heretofore.
5. Now with same there may be expected that condition that would bring some consternation through the channels of opposition. Yet this, as we find, the place, the time and the action then necessary. For those vibrations of the Universal Forces, as is manifest through the physical human body that relates to transmission of those elements of Universal Forces, bring the greater action on the body through which the phenomena is to be manifested in or near this place - Virginia Beach, see?
6. The field, then, of activity being the broader, for the close proximity to the capital of the world, with sufficient distance to bring the work in a more beneficial, beneficent, manner.
7. The close proximity to the ports of the world and of those reasonings as come with peoples of the sea, these all go to make up that necessary.
8. Then, the individuals that are interested as given here: First the work of [900] is near to this place, and sufficient distance that the physical forces lend rather than retard in the development of same. Then the time of the development in the forces of [900] is in that place of being able to sufficient to lend assistance in the way in which this would be most beneficial.
9. The manner and way would then be, for the work, from [900]'s viewpoint, to connect in such a manner the work with all phases of the developing as is manifested through the developing of the body.
10. As to those of the family, Edgar Cayce, these we find, all, will in many ways be improved, provided they take advantage of same, in the associations in this place, see?
11. (Q) Which is more advisable, for Edgar Cayce to go direct to Virginia Beach or meet [900] in New York and then go to Virginia Beach?
    (A) Meet [900] in New York, then go to Virginia Beach.
12. (Q) In regarding trip to Virginia Beach, in preparation for move there, should Edgar Cayce's son, Hugh Lynn Cayce, go to Virginia Beach to lend assistance in any way?
    (A) Very good - for as given, be well that all would go and lend assistance, for if the place does good to all, then all need to receive more good, see?
13. (Q) Please give Edgar Cayce information necessary for him to know as to why Virginia Beach is the proper place for him to work from. Also outlining to him the line of procedure when he is located at or near Virginia Beach to make the work the success that readings have given can be made.
    (A) As to why has been given. As to the conduct of the body, physical, this has been given in many ways, for the one is the same as the other. First and foremost, as has been given, let this be the criterion for the endeavors: The work in all its phases is judged by the physical attendance to those things spiritual, and the aid in spiritual manners and social manners, as are given to those, for the reflection of each and every work is shown in the individual's relations to others.
    Then give of self to others, calling on Him, the Giver of all good and perfect gifts, to direct the way, and He is faithful to give to those who would seek Him in no uncertain way, see?
14. (Q) Give advice to Hugh Lynn Cayce that will assist him in helping Edgar Cayce and [900] in making necessary arrangements for the move to Virginia Beach?
    (A) Know the country¹ - or use, as has been given in this, just plain common sense.
15. We are through.
