TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the information as has been given by you in readings concerning treasure buried on south Bimini Island, situated in the Atlantic Ocean, about forty miles due east of Miami, Florida, and all those associated with same, namely: Mr. [2671], Mr. [943], Mr. [287], Mr. [...] [[2671]'s son], and Edgar Cayce, all present in this room, and Mr. [4825] who was present at the time search was made on Feb. 4th and 5th, 1927. Diligent search has been made, following as near as we have understood directions given in the readings, without results. Will you please explain to us NOW why we were unable to locate this. Then you will answer any questions that we will ask you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the information as has been given regarding treasure buried on Bimini Island, with those who made diligent search for same without results. The causes also are apparent as respecting same.
3. Now we find that, not because of the information being incorrect, not because of the lack of diligence in search for same; for the information as has been given is correct, and the search by those as seeking same was in order.
4. Then, the trouble lies within that of the one [Edgar Cayce - - [294]] through whom information is given; for these sources from which the information comes to the material world are from a universal and infinite source, but the channel of same is of the carnal or material plane. Hence we know sin lies at the door, and in that information as has been given respecting same, that the house must be set in order.
5. Now, we find the treasure is there, and it will be located when the individual through whom the information comes sets self in order, in applying self to those principles; for we have, as it were, a criterion, or an ensample, in the question as asked the Master, "Why could not WE cast this demon out?" The answer was, "Only with fasting and prayer," or coming closer to those infinite binds of the spiritual of the individual to those sources, and in the application of same will then the individual be able to give that necessary; for the treasure remains there as put, and in that place will it be found. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) How may he put his house in order?
   (A) Through that concentrated effort to make self One with those infinite forces through which infinite information may be given the material-minded individual, in applying same to material conditions. When such is set, through the same sources information will be given, and this will be located; for the information as given is correct. Then, "Wait ye on the Lord!"
7. (Q) Were the stones taken from the pit placed there by Will Desmond? (Asked by Mr. [943])
   (A) Rather wait ye on the Lord for information as to how and when this may be removed from its resting place; for those same elements as necessary to overcome the demon from within that entity must be made necessary to overcome that, that information given will not be as misleading to the finite minds of material beings in such search; for it is here, and here it remains until that as is necessary for the giving of that that will remove same.
8. (Q) Will this individual understand this information being given, so that he will be able to put his house, in order, that the information may be given and understood as to how to locate and get this buried treasure?
   (A) Certainly! That as is necessary for an individual to give to self that at-oneness is ever present, when one turns his face wholly to the light; for "ye shall know the truth - the truth shall make you free!"
9. (Q) Should any one of the individuals whose names have been mentioned be eliminated, to be able to secure this information? (Asked by Mr. [2671])
   (A) If such is necessary when information is given, the "how?" and "who shall obtain same?" will be given. Sure!
10. (Q) How long will it be before the individual will be able to set his house in order and obtain this information?
    (A) How long! Oh, Lord, how long! When thou hast set thy face to do the biddings of the living God, He is ever present; and not that, "Who should ascend into the heavens as to bring Him down?" or "Who shall descend into the depths to bring Him up?" for He is IN THINE HEART! Then turn to Him. When this is done, He is ever present and ready.
11. (Q) Is there any specific condition referred to, or the general attitude?
    (A) That is INDIVIDUAL!
12. (Q) Is there any further information that will help or assist this individual to do this?
    (A) Look into thine own heart and make thine self One with the Universal Forces necessary. These will then answer, for "My Spirit answereth with Thy Spirit, as to whether ye be the sons of God or not," sayeth the Lord. Then make thine paths straight, and walk in that way as is consistent with thine own elements of understanding, and in so doing be helpful to him who falters.
13. We are through for the present.
