TEXT

GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [2107], in respect to scientific and other problems now before him in his capacity as President of the ... Chemical Products Corp. You will answer the questions which he will ask regarding these.
EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, [2107], present in this room; also conditions as present themselves as problems and otherwise to the body at the present time. While there are many problems as present themselves, both scientific and otherwise, with the abilities and with the talents of the body - as we find, will the body but MEET these in the present it will be the difference between a little man and a big one! for while scientific conditions are necessary in the present conditions for preparations in various fields as have to do with the undertakings of the body, as the directing force or mind in the corporation, yet many of these are not directly in line with that as is being carried out, and many of these might be made a portion of the undertakings. Well were the body to make first the DECIDED success of that portion as is concerning those that are being steered, directed, countenanced, counseled with, as respecting the products of the corporation! These also present many factors as respecting distribution, correlation with undertakings in similar lines, those of financing of various portions of the propositions already in hand; yet the body-mind is equal to the situations as confront the body, will he not be double-minded.
In the body-physical there are some conditions also, [2107], wherein there should be some precautions taken in the present, that there will be the prevention OF disorders and distresses arising LATER that would unbalance in some respects the physical abilities of the body to meet all the situations; for when there are conditions physical or mental that prevent an individual from giving their very best in their efforts for others who have given their bit in different ways or manners, then there is not the best being put forward by a body for that for which they have been chosen. Be mindful, then, that the condition of a catarrhal nature as affects the system in a MINOR way in the present - as to make for tendencies in the soft tissue of the face and the throat at times, affects the digestive forces of the body - does not get such a stand, or arise to such proportions, as to be detrimental to the physical conditions. Rather create, by the balancing of the chemical forces of the BODY - as is well known by the body itself, as respecting any elements that may be made for the use, whether they be for individuals or whether they be for commercial use - the even balance as to coordinations within the system. Physically speaking, then, change the vibrations of the physical body of self, that there may be the better functioning of the system. This, we will find, would be accomplished by being rather mindful of that which is given as that upon which the body must build its resuscitating forces, and by the addition of the low electrical vibratory forces for the system as to CLARIFY the LYMPH in the BLOOD supply, that these congestive forces produced by catarrhal conditions in the present may be eliminated. Ready for questions.
(Q) What is a chemical formula for a product that can be used to economically treat raw silk so that the gum contained in the raw silk can be converted from gum into actual silk?
(A) As has been indicated by that as has been given respecting this, the body and associates have been working in a direction for the forming or completion of that as would do this very act in the preparation. As has been outlined, that with the addition of that acid that will act with the raw product as a solvent for that as is the gum's activity in the raw product, would change same in its production, or in its activity. This of necessity will require some experimentations in the various quantities, periods, and at what pressure or stage same is to be added to that as is already being used, or as is being experimented with; and we will find that this will be the solvent that will bring about the proper process.
(Q) What is an economical formula (not metallic lead) for a lubricant that can be used on the dies and mandrels for drawing stainless steel tubing?
(A) Now, this is a good one! (Pause) We haven't this here. We may get this, but we haven't this in the present.
(Q) When would be the best time to get this?
(A) When these have been correlated from the forces from which, and through which, such experimentations in the past have been made! This we may obtain in even some others as go with same, in the making of an alloy WITH same that may make for even a better product. We haven't this in the present.
(Q) How is it possible to deposit 90% of soluble oil in an emulsified form on the silk in a real silk soaking bath without using salts?
(A) This comes back to the same characterization of the process as has been indicated, in that - and through which - these have been used, see, as respecting using the acid that is to go with, or to CUT these IN their process of activity WITH the producing of the product, that which will make for more uses OF the raw material than is used in the present process. As we will find, these would be combined with those as has been given.
(Q) What is an economical formula for an oil that will be superior to anything now being used for the boiling off of real silk hosiery?
(A) These, as we find, MAY be worked with some of those that have already been used, and are being used, in the present process, by the changing of the volaty (?) [volatility?] or gravity OF the oil as is used in such a process, which will make for a material change and a more economical way of the process; changing the gravity, the volaty (?) [volatility?], or the WEIGHT of such oils - see? for the oil as goes with same, see, in this process in the present, has been of that nature as to make for more heaviness in its reactions upon the product, or the silk. Now, will these be REDUCED in their gravity, in their volatile (?) activity, these will make for a more ECONOMICAL way of handling same. These are getting much out of these lines, though, from what we have given! Better make a success of one first, then commence with others! These may come with the activities as proceed, and as the moneys are given TO the body for the experimentations in these lines - see?
(Q) What is an economical formula for a product that will be superior to anything now used for lubricating the dies on the drawing of medium and fine sizes of copper wire?
(A) These, as we find, come back to a different application of that which makes for the TEXTILE strength of the wire, as related to that process as makes for the covering in same, and will there be USED in this more of that which acts as to make for coercion, or for the drawing together OF the vibrations that hold the product together - No, this isn't understood! Is there used more of that as is the product that makes for the closer union of the vibrations under which the tension, or textile strength of the wire is to function, then we may have a more ECONOMICAL way of PRODUCING just that as is desired. This, as we find, will be used through those of the manganese, with that of the Fuller's earth in its production of the product in its raw state; so that when it is drawn for those of the products in which these are to be used, these will make for that as is being sought. We come, then, for the BEGINNING of the process, as that as to be added, rather than in the end, would we receive or get that as is desired in this. STILL we are wandering afield! These are good products, but how far afield it's going!
(Q) What is an economical formula for a material that can be used for removing buffing dirt from oxidizable metals in an automatic washing machine?
(A) This will of necessity have to carry more of those oxides that will not make for corrosion WITH that which is being removed FROM the materials in such a container; and, as we will find, that as would be the more economical - SOLUBLE in same - will be the addition of those sodas that have been treated THROUGH those formulas of the acids that are not soluble, or not oxidizable WITH those that are being removed. Hence, as we find, these will of necessity be those that will be drawn through those oils that are not in this line, or this period, that make for oxidization. That's MORE experiments, but this may be easily worked out! Use more nitre than more of the sulphur in the acids.
(Q) What cheap gums can be used in conjunction with soluble cocoanut oil for the conditioning of rayon crepe?
(A) Those, as we find, of the oils as will work with these the most, will be those that are of the nature that are in conjunction WITH the changes as are made in the oils of same - see? that is, not those that work in opposition to, but work in conjunction with, or those that are drawn from those of the same character of vegetable compound as would be made from same, or were these drawn that would cooperate with same - we would find that, in that which is COMMONLY called the silkweed, or the milk of same; this mixed with, or drawn with, the oil of the cocoanut as is used in this process, will make for a much finer texture, a much better skein, and a much more WEARABLE product! That's a new one, yes! but it'll work!
(Q) What is an economical formula for a powdered penetrant to use on textile fibres that will wet out in equal facility in pH solutions ranging from 2 to 10?
(A) Most too technical to get this in the present. We will receive it, if you will wait. (Pause) We will get this if you'll wait! (Pause) Now the processes that have been used in this direction, as we find, we have been using too much of those of the acids salts - see? Now, will these be reduced in their quantity - as they change in the formulas in the one, and then the third process - we will find these will work. See?
(Q) What is a solid, water soluble solvent that will dissolve oils, fats and waxes?
(A) Now, these will be different in the processes for which they are to be used. If these are to be used as the solvent for the oils from metals, or from enamels, these would of necessity be different from those that would be used on certain woods or veneers, and these may be added, that in those that are for the products which are of the fibre nature, see - woods, floors, linoleums, and the like - these would have less, from that which is being used, of the alkalins. Now this is in opposition to that which many have been using, but these will work better with less of the alkalins in same! while those that are to be used for paints, varnishes, lacquers, there may be added more of the ACIDS - provided the acids are of the salts or the nitre variety, than those that go to the higher or of the sulphur variety.
We are through for the present.

[11/07/31 P.M. GD's Note: EC, GC and GD were arrested in N.Y.C. immediately following the afternoon reading. It got into the papers, etc., and I'm sure it scared off Mr. [2107], eliminating any slight interest he may have had due to Mr. [279]'s influence.]

BACKGROUND

See 279-8, Par. 19-A on 9/10/31 in re chemical problem with raw silk.
11/04/31 See 279-11, Par. 8-A in re starting negotiations with [257] & associates and Mr. [2107].

REPORTS

2/19/40 HLC's letter to Mr. [2107]:
Mr. [2107] ..., Penna.
Dear Mr. [2107]
In checking through our files I find that in November of 1931 my father, Mr. Edgar Cayce, gave a Reading for you, through the recommendation of Mr. [279]. We are interested in bringing our files up to date, and shall appreciate your giving us a report on this Reading. Did it in your opinion include any information which proved helpful? In fact, from the answers, would you say that there was any knowledge on the part of the source of the information as to the conditions about which you were asking. It seems to me that some of the answers were extremely vague, but they do include bits of information which might have indicated a knowledge of the subject involved. From a research standpoint, this would be extremely valuable to us, for it would indicate knowledge beyond that possessed consciously by my father. I shall appreciate very much your cooperation in writing us fully regarding this Reading. If you have misplaced your copy, we have an extra one in our files which we shall be glad to mail to you, so that you may check over it before making the report.
Perhaps you will be interested in knowing of the program of the Association which is presenting my father's work. This program will make possible a complete indexing of the thousands of Readings which we have in our files. This constitutes one of the most interesting and valuable collections of psychic data in existence. We feel that it deserves adequate scientific study. I hope that you will read carefully the enclosed leaflet.
Trusting that we may hear from you at your earliest convenience, I am
Sincerely, Hugh Lynn Cayce, Manager hlc/gd
3/07/40 [2107]'s letter to HLC:
Mr. Hugh Lynn Cayce, Manager, Association for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Mr. Cayce: Thank you for your letter of February 19th which I have not answered before this as I have been away on an extended trip.
Yes, I remember your father well but have only a very hazy recollection of the Reading.
I do not have a copy of the Reading but if you will send me the one in your file I will be glad to check it over and attempt to answer your queries.
Cordially yours, [2107]
3/08/40 Sent copy to [2107].
3/12/40 [2107]'s letter to HLC:
Mr. Hugh Lynn Cayce, Manager Association for Research & Enlightenment, Inc. Virginia Beach Virginia
Dear Mr. Cayce:
This is in further reference to your letter of February 19th relative to the "Reading" given by your father, Mr. Edgar Cayce in November 1931.
Upon re-reading the report and looking backward over the past nine years I can unhesitatingly state the following -
1. There was no information in the Reading that was at all helpful.
2. The "information" in the Reading was unintelligible.
3. There was no real information in the Reading and no display of any knowledge at all. A few chemical terms were used but were badly mixed up and would perhaps indicate that the party giving the information might have heard of these chemical terms but had no knowledge at all of chemistry.
To be very frank with you I do not believe that there was anything in this Reading that would indicate any knowledge beyond that possessed by an ordinary individual without any technical training.
Cordially yours, [2107]
