(Q) How may he improve his acquisition of worldly goods?
(A) This covers a great scope, and may not all be given at
the present time, for there are many channels open for such
conditions at present, and many more to arise in the days and
weeks and months and years to come. For the specific
conditions at present, we would find there have been of late
some conditions in the street operations that have been
unsatisfactory; that is, relations to the association as a
whole, but to increase the worldly possessions in this
specific instance, follow the leads as will be given directly
in the next three to four days. After satisfying self and
associates of this change, then with the following of this
will bring much gain to the body, [
900], direct and to many
associates. [See 900-3.]
In the broader sense of such conditions, to increase the
worldly possessions, follow in the line as has been given,
following the abilities of many small producing institutions,
and in the whole this will bring much financial gain. For
the abilities of this body, in the financial gain as it were,
lie in the ability to gain the full scope of capacity of many
small institutions and groups of people, and in being able to
give that experience that will enable such groups to bring
much gain to the one individual. The capacity of vision in
this entity and body is far beyond that of the normal forces
about the body, and has great abilities in this line far
beyond the ordinary one with the experience as gained in
years. Hence the following and the ability to assist these
small groups to finance themselves, to conduct the production
of their own fields, will bring the financial forces to this
body, [
900]. The changes from time to time will be seen and
felt. Hence only the general scope of such ability may be
given at this particular time, especially when there is seen
some conditions that to this body at present are not entirely
satisfactory; yet, with the abilities exercised, will give
that incentive necessary for this body to realize these
proclivities in self and the ability to push forward in the
line as has been, and is, outlined here. Do that.
(Q) Is he fitted for the business and position he now holds?
How may he improve himself for same?
(A) This we find is very good. In following the lines as
outlined here he may better fit himself for that end, as has
been given.
(Q) Give in detail his present financial condition in
private and in relation to his membership in Wm. E. Lauer &
Company, of 74 Broadway.
(A) These, as given, are very good at the present time as a
whole. In specific conditions of personal holdings, these
are quite satisfactory. As to relations in the association
with Wm. E. Lauer & Company, there have been some conditions
recently, and at present, that are not entirely satisfactory,
yet these will prove, by following the suggestions outlined,
very good, and some wonderful developments will arise from
this association. As to specific amounts in investments,
these are questioned at times but at present satisfactory.
(Q) Is he pursuing the correct path of duty in the financial
world, and how may he correct any distressing conditions?
(A) Only as has been outlined should any corrections, as we
find, be made at present. The present pursuit in financial
world may be broadened under the suggestions of gaining the
control of many smaller groups, as outlined.
(Q) Would it be best for this body to marry at the present
time? Would he be happy, and whom should he marry? Tell us,
if possible, where she lives.
(A) This would be the most satisfactory arrangement for this
body at the present time, and we would give in the last
months of the present year the most satisfactory, else defer
until the Spring months of coming year. The body already
knows the individual in person, as we gain the impression,
though there is more than one considered. There is the
individual that stands foremost in thought when the body
considers such conditions. The one that arises in the mental
forces the stronger at the present moment, that one consider
the most. We find this body at present not in the place of
residence. As to the name, or individual, these had best not
be considered from this viewpoint, or this condition, but the
body lives in the South and West from here, New York we are
speaking of.
(Q) Should this body make any connections with Edgar Cayce
in the furtherance of the Institute Work? If so, in what
capacity?
(A) As has been given, this body is peculiarly and
particularly adapted for the furtherance of such work, and
may prove himself particularly fitted for such conditions.
We find there should be some relations. As to the capacity,
that must come from the spiritual development from within
self, and the knowledge of same that may be made applicable
in the individual, and that which may be applied to the
lives of others, as such work would progress.
(Q) How should this body go about to encourage faith in
Cayce's work?
(A) As given, find that applicable in his, [
900]'s, life.
Find that which may be made so in the lives of others, ever
remembering that the faith of the fathers gives and lends
faith in the Maker when we can apply same in our daily lives.
For, unless we can live by a faith we cannot implant same in
the lives of others. So, then, to encourage this faith in
the Cayce Institute, gain first the full knowledge of all
those forces connected with same. Weigh then well in the
balance of right, justice and of the duty that each
individual owes to humanity.
(Q) Should this body come to Dayton, Ohio, to meet Edgar
Cayce, or would it be to the best advantage of both for Edger
Cayce to meet this body in New York?
(A) Under the existing conditions, better that the body,
[
900], study such conditions from both viewpoints. First,
see and know the conditions surrounding Edgar Cayce in the
home, and the surrounding conditions. Then in the body's,
[
900]'s own surroundings. Best that both be considered; that
is, see and know conditions in Dayton, and see and know
conditions in New York. Keep them separate. Weigh them
well, as has been given.
(Q) How can this body best benefit the work of the Cayce
Institute?
(A) By being the advisor to the work, from the standpoint as
has been outlined; that is, in the viewing of abilities,
capacities, of groups, and by the advice, as given, in the
capacity of Trustee, Director, or Manager, from that
viewpoint, and in the financial assistance that the body is
capable of rendering such work.
(Q) Is there any particular danger in the physical or
financial conditions that this body should be forewarned of?
(A) No.
(Q) Mr. David E. Kahn, of New York, has talked a great deal
regarding the associations of this body in certain endeavors.
Is he, Kahn, strictly accurate and sincere, or does his
enthusiasm tend to make him exaggerate?
(A) The endeavors, as has been outlined, are worthy of
consideration. The enthusiasm of David E. Kahn can be
capitalized upon, and such an individual as [
900] is capable
of doing so, as has been outlined. The exaggerations are
almost nil, yet should be taken under advisement and well
considered.
(Q) What would be the best relations between this body and
Kahn, between Cayce and the Cayce Institute and between David
E. Kahn and Edgar Cayce and this body?
(A) This, we find, would be of a far-reaching condition,
though we find these associations good in many ways. There
are many conditions that might arise that would prove to be
exasperating in many respects. These had best be developed
with the situation as arises, for there are many others to be
considered in any association with any or all of these. In
that association of [
900] and Kahn, [
900] may capitalize the
enthusiasm, the sincerity, of Kahn. In relation with Kahn,
Cayce, Cayce Institute and [
900], many other conditions arise
that would be, and must be, considered. Their results, and
how they should be associated, only needs time and the
elements of sincerity on the part of each concerned, without
respect of the other elements that may enter in.
(Q) In what capacity may this body best serve his fellow
man?
(A) In that as has been outlined. A natural advisor, a
natural statistician, a natural viewer of conditions, and in
giving those can best serve his fellow-man. Also serve self.
(Q) What work is this body best fitted for, and is intended
to perform in this world?
(A) That as outlined.
(Q) Has Edgar Cayce anything to do with his thoughts of some
charity to be interested in?
(A) We find there are no coincidents, or chance coincidents.
Each and every individual follows out that line of
development of the entity in the present earth plane as it
has received from the preceding conditions, and each grain
of thought or condition is a consequence of other conditions
created by self, and in this particular condition we find
this is s condition wherein the body, [
900], may choose that
which will give development for self, for this body, [
900],
should remember this injunction, as was given: It is not
that one should ascend into the heavens to bring the force
to man, or that one should ascend into the elements, or go
into the depths, to bring up the forces, for there has been
set before you, this day, good and evil. Choose that which
will bring the better development if self, and in lending to
the Lord is the service that man renders to his Maker. For
the silver and the gold are mine saith the Lord of hosts,
and service to him who can serve his fellowman is the
highest service to the Creator.
We are through.
