15. (Q) Is there any change in the weather conditions, or in the roughness of the sea?
    (A) At the period as given, should be very good. Hasn't it blown out?
16. (Q) Now, the experience of Edgar Cayce and myself on the cosmic plane, in which I experienced his death and his wait ing for me, greeting me as I came over, our joy at the new found freedom, and our raising up my body at the funeral.
    (A) This, as seen, that to which each individual may attain in the proper understanding of the relationships of the cosmic forces, or forces on the cosmic plane as related to the physical, and the full demonstration of the continuity OF life, as WELL as of CONSCIOUSNESS as respecting individuality as IS IN EACH INDIVIDUAL, and, as is seen, these may become that as may be given by another, as a thorough demonstration of the survival OF life. Should, then, be set down as that which is TO BE accomplished, and witnesses should bear the seal and know the same, see?
17. (Q) That is - this, then, is a specific prophesy of a living truth that will end, in a manner, our teaching?
    (A) This will DEMONSTRATE the teaching, and bring to remembrance much as will be given ALL concerning same.
18. (Q) This power then, or grace to this extent, will be granted - that this - that demonstration -
    (A) That demonstration may be shown, may be given, may be foretold by those who will then be guiding the work, as being accomplished THROUGH the efforts OF those who would give the physical or material demonstration from the cosmic plane.
19. (Q) In three days, then, after my death, I will raise the body?
    (A) ASSIST in raising the body.
20. (Q) What was the differentiation in time? That is, I estimated it would take one day, as we count time, to dissipate the body in the elements - but Cayce answered me, "That will take one year to do."
    (A) The dissipation of the various elements requires time. The dissipation of force as may be used through the PHYSICAL BODY, requiring three days - as given.
21. (Q) [137] has foreseen his own death, the sequence of our death - that is, he has seen that he will outlive, in a physical form, all of us. [See 900-461, Par. R6]
    (A) This following in the natural sequence of the individuality of the entity, as related to the forces as are being studied, used, and as will be taught and manifested by the body - even as it may be said of the body, "If I tarry till one or the other return, that will be as he hopes" - and they will!
22. (Q) The significance of the phenomena as now made manifest through Miss [3734], to [137] and myself?
    (A) This the manifestation of an individual attunement to those cosmic forces as would USE the channel to approach, in immediate way and manner, those seeking information - and as MUCH FORCE is manifested through the two individuals as through the one. [GD's note: Miss [3734] was a telephone operator in the office of [900] and [137], who listened in on his calls to Va. Beach, etc. See 900-461, Par. B1.]
23. (Q) Now, regarding my experiences of last night. First there was the indication of the individuality and its relationship, or sectional relationship to the one, and its relationship to the whole, in its entirety.
    (A) This as that as is the differentiation in the truth as is given in that of the INDIAN thought and that as is TO BE given in [900]'s thought, or idea. ONE, that the individual becomes lost IN the whole. That as given, and as seen that, THAT the heritage of the soul is that the INDIVIDUALITY REMAINS, and KNOWS itself to BE ONE WITH the whole, but NOT the WHOLE, but one WITH and IN the whole, see?
24. (Q) It is a mental division that the soul mind becomes able to form -
    (A) In the spaces, or in - there are few words to differentiate the difference in between, but, as there is seen, there is little that may not be illustrated from the material plane as may be in reference to the individual as may lose itself in the whole. There is in each kernel that image of THAT it may become, as a tree with fruit that bear STILL within same the image of others, and others, and others - yet each INDIVIDUAL, in itself, a portion OF the whole, yet NOT the whole, but bearing within same the whole, see? So, as individuals - NOT merely a discernment of the MENTAL, but an actuality, as the variance in just such relationship.
25. (Q) That is, what we build in ourselves brings us -
    (A) Into that very same concept of the INDIVIDUAL'S concept of ITS creative energy, MADE, in mind AND will, ONE WITH the whole; YET able in ITS self to act in ITS own individual capacity, as long as it makes ITS will ONE WITH the whole.
26. (Q) Now, there was advice given regarding certain contacts I was to make -
    (A) These as relating to that as has oft been given as concerning the body's crossing large bodies of waters, and the various contacts as would be made in, during and after, and while crossing such - see? This has been given. This rather as a reminder. Keep faithful. We are through.

BACKGROUND

1. 12/05/29 Mr. [195]'s wire: "Add to [900]'s questions: What information was Gary giving to [900]'s telephone operator Dec. 5th?"

REPORTS

1. GD's note: Mr. [900] and his brother, Mr. [137], did survive the crash. In fact, he boasted that he and his brother had been divinely guided and protected throughout the period. In Jan. 1930 Mr. [900] left for a tour of Europe with his family. It was during his absence that he became critically ill in mind and body. Apparently his brother, Mr. [137], had much difficulty in the business during Mr. [900]'s absence, and it is believed that this is when the downgrade started. Mr. [900] was never the same after his return. Somewhere along the line he lost that magic contact which had protected him. See subsequent readings - mostly health - in the [900] series, also [137] series. It may be that coming back to a failing business also had its effect in changing his attitude toward EC and "the work."
2. 12/16/29 Mr. [900]'s letter to EC: "Incidentally, Miss [3734] knew of the question I asked (900-461, Par. 22-A) and told me about it Monday morning, before I said a word to her."
3. 1/13/30 See 195-68 in re 'psychic' experiences of Miss (Mrs.) [3734] regarding [195]'s motor [4665], etc.
4. 2/16/30 See brother's rdg. 137-127, Par. 22-A; also 137-128 later; indicating information not always correct that he receives through Mrs. [3734], or himself.
5. 9/17/30 See 257-61, Par. 15-A in re spiritual advice to [900] from [3734]. [See subsequent mention of Miss [3734] under 900-465 Reports.
6. 2/04/65 GD's note: EC died 1/03/45, Mr. [900] died 4/09/54, and Mr. [137] is still living.
