(Q) Why was there only one response to the recent letter
sent out [from N.Y. by E. W. Zentgraf, Chm. of A.R.E. Board]
inviting certain people to join the organization?
(A) This may be classed in three groups:
Some - the financial stress in their particular interest
such as prohibited their response as they desired in the
present, NOT lack of interest, nor intent, on their part.
Another group - there was that builded by the letter of the
WONDERMENT at a change, and of the interests of other groups
in that which had been started in OTHER directions; wait,
and WAITING, for clarification.
Another, or the last group may be classed as - those that
feel, HAVE felt, that rather the personal explanation from
sources for whom, OF whom, the work is being established
is needed, for the verification of the desire of such one
[Edgar Cayce], for their interest TO be such as to MAKE
contributions.
As has been given, RATHER had there been first the appointing
of those that would officially represent association in
various portions OF the country - then when their acceptance,
without their contributing ANY - or asking for contributing
any - then seek through THEM for their giving, or seeking
those who through THEIR opinion might be aided through the
channels, would INCREASE the response manifold.
Better STILL, begin with those in hand, IN the immediate
vicinity and surroundings, and NOTIFY those that are sought
as representatives TO the effect that such and such a group,
or so many, have already BECOME contributors in whatever
amount it might be, such and such were representatives in
their respective portions or vicinity and were aiding in
increasing interest and the aid that might be received in
the various portions. THIS is a FORMULATIVE, COOPERATIVE
way and manner, rather than seeking without foreknowledge
- by many - of an ALTERED position of the many or few; for
thoughts ARE deeds, and as their currents run through the
various spheres of activities in the lives of individuals
so do they respond IN the light of their OWN view of THAT
desired or needed. This is true whether in SPIRITUAL
affairs, MENTAL conditions, or material problems.
(Q) Who is giving this information?
(A) That same that stood in the position for the entity
as a guide, and an aide, and that one who may be termed the
guardian of this entity's activities - Demetrius.
(Q) Will you give an explanation of why A. C. PRESTON [Mgr.
of A.R.E.] was taken ill at the time, in the surroundings
and under such circumstances? [In N.Y. while trying to raise
funds for A.R.E.]
(A) "Are ye able to drink of the cup necessary to prepare
thine self for the managing of, conducting, such interests,
and directing the minds to such forces?" was asked, and the
cup MUST be taken! As to whether ye be able to drink, that
- as was given - ye WILL drink of same; "as to sit on my
right hand or my left is not mine to give," but when ye
choose - as was given, "There is set before thee this day
- choose THOU." THOU hast chosen! He that endureth unto
the end shall wear the crown, shall be called the faithful,
shall sit in the seat OF the mighty!
(Q) What caused the failure in the effort of those searching
for the TREASURE at KELLY'S FORD? [See [
3812] series.]
(A) UNCOOPERATION. This HAS been given.
(Q) How long before Peter and Paul and others will be
brought into the work to assist and carry on, and will they
be in the flesh or in the spiritual world?
(A) In the MENTAL world Paul has entered, in Paul. [See
900-454, Par. 19-A, 20-A on
10/05/29.] In the flesh Peter
will ENTER when there IS the need, and when there has been
prepared the way that this may be CARRIED on. [See
137-123,
Par. 17-A--20-A on
7/28/29.] [See 311-6, Par. R3.]
(Q) Will you give the name of someone who is fitted and who
will be willing to set up and direct a system of lectures and
study to be used by members of the Association for Research
& Enlightenment for their advancement along the path?
(A) There has been chosen one as a head for that of the
distribution of data. Why seek farther, if that is used!
(Q) Was I ever connected with [
943] in any of my past lives,
if so which ones and what relationship?
(A) Particularly that as influences in the present is from
the Egyptian association, and one the messenger - as the
other the aide to same.
(Q) What is Demetrius at present?
(A) The body's guardian angel. As he stood and reasoned
with Paul, again as he stood as the AIDE to Paul IN the
spirit world, THIS ENTITY in attune WITH that AS WAS given
by THIS entity as the messenger in Egypt - for Demetrius
THERE, AGAIN, the brother and the aide in the flesh. [See
311-1, time of Ra-Ta in Egypt. See
2897-4 re Demetrius.]
(Q) Is the body [Edgar Cayce] properly polarized for this
reading?
(A) Proper.
(Q) Is Rudolf Steiner's "Atlantis & Lemuris," and his
"Theosophy" true and correct in general?
(A) In a TREND; not as in toto - but a VISION OF an entity
as reading record OF that as happened in space and time,
and GIVEN IN response TO those seeking for their OWN
understanding of inclinations with THEIR own experience.
(Q) Will you give me a definite plan by which I can raise
money to take care of the present needs of the [A.R.E.]
organization and carry on the work?
(A) As has been outlined oft, each department or phase must
furnish its own quota of support. Through that channel as
has been outlined in the present offers the most feasible,
the most plausible way IN the present. That there are MANY
speculative ways and manners must be apparent to all. Are
these best, as has been indicated by that as has happened
in the experience of many so affiliating or associating
themselves? Has it been true?
We are through.

his life and work.
10/11/73 Mrs. George E. (Mary) Richardson wrote GD:
"I'm sending you one more of Starr Daily's books to be put
away in the [E.C.F.-A.R.E.] archives for the New Age, - with
his others, please. This one is a copy (now out of print) of
his original 'This Is the Life'...
"You undoubtedly know he had been the great St. Paul (and
other greats through the ages before and since)...
[See 311-6, Par. 8-A and notes.]
"Will you please check to see if the YOU CAN book has the
jacket with his (young) photo. If not I'll send mine, as
the New Age will wish to know what this 20th Century Apostle
of Love (as Norman Elliott [Glenn Clark's son-in-law] refers
to him) looked like."
11/14/73 GD's note: Starr Daily was born in Feb. 1893 and
died on Easter Sunday in 1973, at 80 yrs. of age. He and
Edgar Cayce never met, yet in reading
1152-11 the work of
Glenn Clark (of Camps Farthest Out) was referred to as being
akin to A.R.E. in being one of those efforts "closest to the
needs of the people in the present". Starr Daily was very
active with Glenn Clark in the Camps Farthest Out, and
outlived Glenn Clark by several years. We later (Hugh Lynn
and I and many others of A.R.E.) knew both of them well and
attended many of their meetings; they even visited A.R.E.
in Virginia Beach. Edgar Cayce did meet Glenn Clark once
and attended one of his healing group sessions in Norfolk.
Mary Richardson, a long time A.R.E. member, has made a point
of keeping all of Starr Daily's books in the A.R.E. Library.
In Sept. 1951 I attended Camps Farthest Out at Camp Kanuga,
Hendersonville, N.C., and met for the first time Glenn Clark,
Starr Daily, Dr. John Gaynor Banks and many others who were
leaders in the movement. All three of these mentioned later
visited A.R.E. and lectured in Virginia Beach under the
auspices of the Interdenominational Bible Group led by
Dr. Mina Kerr.
In the years to come many of A.R.E. leaders were to take
part in Camps Farthest Out by spending their vacations there,
- Hugh Lynn Cayce, Everett Irion and Robert Adriance with
their families. Robert A. Adriance became one of the
trustees of Koinonia Foundation, Baltimore, MD., which had
been spearheaded by Glenn Clark, Starr Daily and Dr. Frank C.
Laubach, with many others.
An A.R.E. member, Mrs. Irma Winter, after attending a Camps
Farthest Out meeting, wrote GD on
2/12/54:
"One CFO leader, after relating some unusual experiences,
was told by Glenn Clark, 'Ask Hugh Lynn Cayce, he knows
more about that than I do.' And that from Glenn Clark
was something!" [See Edgar Cayce Foundation SOURCE FILE

other similar purposed organizations. Also check A.R.E.
Library for such materials.]
