(Q) Is it best to keep in the dredging business or should I
change to some other line of work?
(A) As we would find, and as we have indicated so oft for
the body, while the dredging business may be made as a
connection, this is not the better; for it becomes rather as
too much of rote for the body. But if the body is able (and
it is) to qualify as captain, pilot, steerer, or those
activities in and about the waters of this particular port,
these would offer channels and ways where the greater
satisfaction, the greater advancement and the greater
activity may be carried on.
As has been given, if there had been chosen that as indicated
for the OWN boat for activity, this might have made a
difference. But if there will be used in the present that as
has been indicated for the preparation, the qualifying of
activities in these particular directions, these will bring
about the better conditions.
(Q) Is it best for me to keep in mind something for myself?
(A) This as has been oft indicated is the better. But the
making for connections or activities that allow for the
recognition of the body's abilities, as are manifested and
yet not recognized, will fit the body not only better for its
own activity for itself but bring about connections where
that in the activity of self the associations become so much
greater, so much broader in its scope.
(Q) Is there anyone in Norfolk with money whom I might
contact who needs a man of my capabilities? With the
contacts already made here it seems that they consider me as
too old.
(A) If the body allows self to become overcome by such, then
the body immediately becomes retroactive. But as has been
indicated, BEGIN and show - by the service able to be
rendered - that the body is not only efficient, capable,
active, but that the service that has already been rendered
better fits the body than those who are less experienced.
The body is not too old.
As to the connections and associations with the
acquaintances, as has been indicated, there needs to be - as
it were - PUSH IN, SHIP, irrespective of what "We don't need"
but MAKE the place for self!
(Q) Should Mr. Cayce and I go to Lostman's River in Florida
for the purpose of locating buried treasure? or is this the
right thing to do? [See [
1279] series.]
(A) Many things are to be considered in such an undertaking.
There are many such treasures that might be located in the
Florida waters, and Florida environs. But there needs to be
an association or connection that there may be the use of a
boat sufficiently well equipped for carrying on such a
research.
Lostman's River would be easily located if there are the
activities in that direction. But DO NOT begin with such by
being beholden to some others, so that the very activity
becomes a drain or drudge, with a disappointment before you
begin.
This would be very well if there is the preparing, or the
preparation made, before such an undertaking is begun.
(Q) Shall I be called back into the Government Service? If
so, when and where?
(A) As we find there is an opportunity for same. If this is
pressed and the associations and the qualifications are
pressed, and if the body is desirous of doing so, it may be
brought about - as has been once given. If this is the
choice of the body, that it would again like to begin or to
give up other greater opportunities and be satisfied with
this, very well. This may be brought about. When? As soon
as the activities are begun that usually begin in the latter
part of April or in May or June, and as we find would be
again in southern waters.
But this must be a choice, as has been indicated.
(Q) Why does 13, or 4, seem to play such a part in my life
and what is the significance of it?
(A) This as we find comes to what may be called the
vibrations under which the entity as an entity is active, or
the contacts with what may be the mental or the material
channels through which there are the manifestations. They
are as omens, or as the effect of vibratory forces upon the
activities of the individual entity for bringing experiences
into manifestation.
To this particular entity the 13 (and 4) comes rather as a
mental experience, and appears to be the door to or the door
in or out of a new activity. As these come into the
experience then, the entity experiences that it is either the
beginning of or the end of some particular period of
manifestations.
Do not rely upon same as other than that in the experience.
(Q) Should I leave the initial L. out of my name?
(A) We would change the vibrations of the body entirely by
same, and these will come nearer then to being 5 and 8, or
changes - with a general reaping from changes as brought into
the experience.
Again it is a choice as to whether or not to change. But
remember, these influences of 13, 4, 5, 8, will always be
present - if the changes are made! They are merely omens or
signs; not factors that produce - but are the production of
the activities of the body mental, physical and material.
(Q) Is there anything his wife, [
404], present in this room,
can do to help at this time?
(A) Aid in keeping rather that balance, or preventing from
becoming discouraged. If ye are IN the manner of being in
accord with Creative Forces, these bring such into the
experience. Do not see disappointments and hardships then as
hardships, but purposes for the better development not only
of selves but those whom ye aid in directing.
We are through for the present.
