(Q) Night of May 17, 1928. I took a reading for a lady, a
friend of [
257]'s. We insisted that she follow out the
suggestion, which was go away for a time. She did as the
reading gave and died anyhow. That seemed to break us al
up. She did as the reading gave didn't get well anyhow.
Cayce was terribly down in the mouth. I tried to explain to
you and told you there was part of it that you hadn't gotten
yet; that it was still individuality giving things to do
besides the physical observation of doctors. Can't see it at
the time, but nevertheless it's possible that when everything
is done that life in the physical form cannot be retained;
that the readings are not absolutely inevitable that it
cures. I was trying to explain it but those that were
criticizing didn't seem to get it. I went and looked out
the window. "It's awful lonesome in this world to me
sometimes," I said - and sudden change and I seemed to be
in the Borderland. I met the woman who died, and said to
her, "You are dead," she said, "No, I'm not - I'm perfectly
alive and going out - doing the same things I've always
done." "No," I answered her, "You think or imagine you are,
but if you'll just run what you think is your hand through
what you think to be matter, you will see that you can go
right through matter, and you will understand that you are
dead, or have changed." She did, and said, "Well, what's the
difference anyway? It isn't so important." I said, "No,
in one sense not." I felt it more important that she could
understand. Then I seemed to even go higher. An entity
spoke to me and told me that he was Elbert H. Gary's brother.
He would send some stocks to me - I could do with them as I
pleased. That one he sent though was Continental Insurance.
Among other advice he gave me, he said when we get the
hospital started, or start giving treatments on the readings
in Virginia Beach, have a legal form made out which the
patients sign, that they of their own volition desire the
treatment by the doctor exactly as given in reading, and that
it is their will and choice in the matter.
(A) This, as is presented, is as conditions have been given
regarding part of those conditions. That as respecting the
first portion, as seen, is as has been given time and again -
that only as the individual is able to apply that attained,
and to gain that consciousness of same, that in that way only
may same be applicable to the individual - see? and as to
conditions as are given, that does not change the condition
at all; for to an individual a thing is true or not true,
according to their own individual consciousness of a thing.
This is seen even in the individual as is seen by the entity
in the Borderland, and is demonstrated to same in the manner
as outlined; as is that given regarding conditions to be done
in accordance with those as in keeping with the understanding
of individuals as might apply for information and treatment
through the operation of the institution. Do it!
(Q) Night of May 18, 1928: Regarding Central of New Jersey
& the event in Wabash.
(A) Again this is referring to those conditions as have
been given as respecting that which would be given the entity
as respecting the various stocks as were seen, especially
those of the rails (as have been going in circles) and the
information as given as respecting that those as seen should
be purchased, and that the variations would be brought about
by the general conditions, and the reports as respecting the
combines, and that the individual would be given from period
to period that necessary understanding to apply same in the
way and manner as used or suited to the individual use.
(Q) Does it mean to buy Central R.R. and Reading?
(A) Central and Reading.
(Q) Now you have before you the body and the enquiring mind
of [
900] and the proposition he has from [
2709] to buy stock
in American Inca Co. which is of a rayon silk manufacture.
Should the body take it, or not? [See
2709-2, Par. 7-A on
3/19/28.]
(A) Here we find again correlation of conditions, events
and circumstance, as has been given the entity would be
brought to the body from time to time. This especially
referring to that as related to interests across waters.
Now, there has been given that there were conditions that
would come to the entity that were across waters that would
bring great amount of monies. There has been given that
others would the entity be approached concerning which the
entity should have nothing to do with. This is one of
those; for, while the proposition is proper in many ways
and manners, there are some unsavory and unsatisfactory
conditions associated with same. Let it alone. Those others
will come through which many associations, both of the
material, social and financial nature will be great for the
entity - applied properly. We are through with this reading.
REPORTS
5/19/28 Immediately following Reading 900-385 he obtained
