(Q) Morning of January 8, 1927 Saturday. I was talking to
Cayce, who was seated at a desk. He said: "Now, we've got
to have a showdown. Either we have a hospital or not. Do
something now or don't." "I'm sorry," I replied, "I've done
about the best I could, so I guess I'll have to leave it to
someone else. I only know to begin small and grow. You know
the reading said we could begin with one room." Getting a
doctor and money seemed to have stumped me. I felt I
understood the small beginning - the egg or seed of life and
how it grew to large proportions and how we could do
likewise. The beginning was hard and I could run the thing
big or little, but the finances, the doctor - that is,
complying with legal requirements to get a doctor to
cooperate - that was the thing. So I was ready to retire.
However, Cayce decided otherwise. Either I was to handle it
or no one. He turned back to the desk intending to continue
his course of instruction and general work until the
hospital could be started under my direction. I do enjoy
directing such a work - yet I don't seem to be the high
mucky much, except that strict adherence to instructions
from readings must be maintained and the hospital be run as
a manifestation of the ideal of seeking to make man whole,
or a manifestation in flesh physically, mentally, and
spiritually that which life is in its manifesting operation
of the inner man. In this connection I have always desired
to give a course of instruction in conjunction with the
institute, using the readings as demonstrations. So Cayce
decided I was to run the matter and no one else. Then I
seemed in the office of some broker or banker who seemed
interested in the work and hospital. I felt I knew just
what I wanted, but in order to be tactful put myself as one
seeking his advice. I asked him what we should do to start
our institute. He smiled and turned me over to a woman who
was a relative of some kind or a secretary. A man
accompanied me. I put the same question to her in the
same manner. "Well," she replied, "If you stick to helping
people physically and to rubbing lenses (this meant
prescriptions for glasses for the eyes - or I understood it
so, as she wore eye glasses), you'll be alright. That
course of instruction he intends (meaning Cayce) to give
would be very good and ought bring him some money." This
was so near exactly what I wanted to do with the institute,
that I smiled and winked at the man and he nodded and winked
back. Then I said: "I'll tell you - we need money to start
- about $10,000." "In installments" interrupted the man,
looking at me significantly. "This ought be very easy for
us to raise," I said. She took out her check book and gave
me a check for $2500. "What we want to do is to raise
funds," I continued, "and with your help it can be done. I
am one of the [
900]'s, of [
900] Bros. and between us we
ought have no trouble raising this money." She agreed to
cooperate.
(A) In this we find there are many various phases of those
conditions through which the mental proclivities of the
mental mind of the entity have passed as regarding conditions
surrounding the institute, and that as has been thought,
contemplated, and in a manner planned as regarding same -
and, as is seen, conditions arise in which there is more than
one condition that comes to the point where a show down is to
be made, and as these conditions arise - as is seen in that
way and manner in which it is to be handled - in that same
way and manner must it be handled, yet in the end - as is
seen by the way and manner in which the course is followed
out - through the channel, through those means wherein one
who has been benefited, especially toward the restoration of
the eyesight, will be the channel in which monies will come,
which would give the first intimation, or the first nucleus
for the larger operations. These, as is seen, then, are not
only as the symbols, but as actual conditions symbolically
given - for, as these conditions arise - that is, only in the
way and manner as is thought, felt, outlined, that is intent
and purpose of the entity, [
900], in this way and manner
shall it be conducted. When these conditions arise within
themselves, wherein there will become individuals interested,
we will find that through these channels, as has been given -
individuals, groups, classes, masses, states, nations - will
contribute, for from little beginnings do the great
conditions arise, and often, as has been given by the forces
as do manifest in material world, "Make haste slowly." Again
has been said, "Wait ye on the Lord." Be sure, then, in each
and every step, and make haste only when sure in the way
which leads in keeping with those conditions - for, as is
seen, the conditions present themselves, and will be carried
out.
(Q) Who is this man and woman?
(A) These will arise, as we have seen. There rests with an
individual the opportunity to associate self with same, and
this may be laid aside - hence would apparently bring about
consternation by one refusing, yet, as is seen, there arises
again the condition through which one has been aided in
respect to the eyesight, or lenses, or glasses, or the eyes
made whole. Again through these channels, such as these,
there will be found - as to WHO, individually, wait and see!
Make haste slowly.
(Q) Along with this dream came an indication of trouble with
my bowels - of the eliminations of my system.
(A) As is seen, as these represent to the entity the care
and attention as is necessary to fulfilling those conditions
and elements for the body, the same conditions are necessary
in fulfilling those requirements to build an institution,
through which the application may be made of the information
as may be obtained through Universal Forces, as applied to
man's life in a physical, mental, and spiritual way and
manner.
Then apply for the entity that which would purge same of
those conditions that are unruly, or bring a normal condition
to the body. The same is applied to these conditions as
regarding institution - bring about those that would purge
that which would hinder or prevent the proper way of being
assimilated, distributed, and builded.
(Q) Should I take osteopathic treatments and Pluto water?
(A) Osteopathic treatments and Pluto.
(Q) The Lord in the form of a mist or cloud spoke to me.
This is not the first experience of this kind. I beheld on a
former occasion the cloud or mist which spoke, saying: "Some
partially developed in this universe of power." Again I
beheld this same white cloud which spoke saying:
"Development of an organization OF this energy to gain IN
this energy a knowledge of self BEING THIS ENERGY." So
again in this experience, again I enjoyed beholding the mist
or cloud and hearing the voice say: "All must eventually
come to the Lord, even as did the Jewish Fathers of old.
Yes, all must come to the church. There alone is found
peace. There alone is found happiness. All must come to
the church and each and everyone must come to the Lord - if
only at death! Yes, it is worth preparing for this life in
and of the eternal for eternity." I felt my ideals were too
high for some - that I asked too much of the flesh, for I
had come and knew the joy, the happiness of living the
ideals of my mind, a condition that seemed only worthy of
ridicule to many others and termed by some childishness.
Here in the mist I received the answer: "All in the ages
throughout all lives all must come to the Lord!"
(A) This is again and again enumerating and renumerating
[RE-enumerating] to the entity those forces, those channels,
those blessings, which are as to the entity those of the
staying, or of that of the Universal Power giving to the
entity the O.K., as it were, to the endeavors of the entity -
and, as is seen, is set as the criterion for life in EVERY -
EVERY - phase of its existence in the earth's plane. Not too
high, not too low, not too wide, not too deep - but in every
sense, each and every phase must be presented in that way and
manner. See?
(Q) Meaning all MUST, positively, definitely, and without
condition come to the ideals I have adopted, before they may
understand the worth whileness of life for life's sake, of
the joy and glory of seeing the Creator in the cloud, in the
mist, in the fire or flashes of light, in the shadows, and
hearing His Voice, saying: "Be of good cheer. They who
refuse you for dollars and cents - who seek only their
selfish ends must in the end knuckle right down to me - the
Lord - and to those who become one with me"? A correct
allegorical interpretation?
(A) Become to that point wherein the oneness of purpose, the
oneness of self, is lost in the fullness of the oneness of
the Creative Energy, or God. Not as I have accepted, but as
all must accept even as I have accepted, see? Not a truth
because I accepted, but a truth I HAVE accepted.
(Q) Saturday Night, Jan. 8, or Sunday Jan. 9, 1927. "You
will buy yourself 100 shares of National Dairy Products at
72-1/2 - 5/8 or 73."
(A) This, as is seen, represents to the entity another phase
of those conditions which have been presented to the entity,
and, as has been given, is a portion of those conditions of
the entity's, in which the mental forces of the entity
present themselves from time to time. These present then, in
the various forms which represent stocks - the Dairy Products
being that of one in which we will find that these will
present themselves for a money making proposition for the
time being. Hence the amount as is given - only one hundred
shares, or the fullness in one, with the naughts or cyphers.
(Q) Meaning I should buy just 100 shares of this and wait?
(A) Buy just 100 shares and wait.
(Q) Morning of Monday, Jan. 10. Some interruption of a
written examination that I was taking by Mrs. A. Bierhoff who
wanted me to consider the purchase of Vivandu stock. Also
some connection here with my Uncle [
91] of ..., Ind.
(A) This, as is seen, presents to the entity another phase,
as it were, of the entity's ability to influence others as
regarding those conditions that are presented. That is, this
stock as is seen has and is one in which some of the entity's
relations in the earth's plane are interested. Then that in
which the entity is able to advise as regarding these. Not
as DO as I would do, but this as I SEE it, do as THOU would
do with this, when all information considered. Acting, then,
in that way and manner.
(Q) Will Vivandu act in a manner that would make it a
profitable purchase for these parties Bierhoff and [
91] - is
that what is indicated?
(A) That's what is indicated.
(Q) Voice: "Remember Otto Kahn's son-in-law lost money and
wants to get it back." Just what is here meant and how
should its significance be used by [
900]?
(A) That as Otto Kahn represents a certain force or element
or relation in the financial forces, and as the conditions
show that certain conditions brought about those conditions
and that recuperation desired - these, as to the entity,
represent conditions in a physical way and manner. As the
individual views these, then may the entity apply to self's
abilities and self's condition to recuperate in the same way
and manner - applying same in that oneness of purpose that
must be applied, would these be carried to their full
significance.
We are through.
