EC: Yes, we have the body and the enquiring mind, Mrs.
[
2218], also those conditions as have surrounded, and
do surround the body, the home, the dreams, and the
relationships and those conditions, MUCH of which has caused
a great deal of mental worry to the body. Much of this
produced by the activity of individual, and individuals, who
have not so much premeditatedly, but unwisely, acted in a
manner betraying much of the trust as had, and has, been
given in their keeping. Often has the body been warned as
respecting these conditions, from time to time, and how often
has the body been warned by the son, who, in that broader
sphere of understanding, has, in that way in which the mental
forces of the body Mrs. [
2218], been able to attune self to
the conditions wherein there was attempted an understanding
to be made. Had, or would the body NOW need [heed?], study,
apply that little as may be felt is known in self, TO those
conditions as are given from time to time, a much BETTER
understanding and a much better way may be had in these
relations as have been so much of worry, when apparently
conditions were in the proper shape, again something comes
up that worries, or seeming misunderstandings.
But to return to those questions as come in the mind, these
relations are many, and much may be given the body; for the
body in its own self may gain a great insight into conditions
in material life, that, will the body but gain the concept
of the relationships of life, how all life is one, and all
of its relationships are but relative to conditions in the
spiritual and material plane, and will the body but apply in
the ways that the body may itself so do, much may be given.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Were estates administered wisely, to best interest?
(A) The way in which the INTENTIONS were given, wisely. The
HANDLING, unwisely - as for the interests of those to whom
these were INTENDED. We have here - Not well that evil be
spoken of any man, but a very wise attorney, and a very easy
administrator, may unbalance MANY conditions for the best
interest of those WHOM interests are intended, and while not
intentional in the beginning, yet to cover and to protect
selves may make conditions very bad. These we find here. WE
would change attorneys, especially. We would go to one whom
the body knows well, whom the body has advised with. This
would be the better way, and leave then it - the conditions
- in the hands of such an one, and be guided by those
conditions as may be presented to the body, even as this:
When the body is warned not to allow any individual, giving
the who, the what interest presented, then DO NOT allow such
an one to know what the actions of self are respecting that
special condition. When the body has been so warned, that
"WON'T you see - WON'T you believe? WON'T you understand?
WON'T you know that it all IS one, and IS well?" Will the
body not heed to such admonitions? Then WHO CAN stand in
the way of such UNDERSTANDING?
(Q) Have no lawyer at present, and never had - but want one.
Whom I can trust. Who would be that one?
(A) One whom the body knows well, and whom the body can
trust. The friend - the friend will be the one.
(Q) Have any moneys been withheld from children and myself,
which were rightfully mine?
(A) In the investigation of the expenditures from the various
interests by the attorney, this would show in itself!
(Q) Did I receive all that was due me from my son [...]'s
estate?
(A) No. These need be - hasn't the body been told, been
warned as respecting this?
(Q) Was his death natural?
(A) Natural.
(Q) Just what was the cause of his death?
(A) This from the conditions in the system that brought the
inactivity of the action between the cerebro-spinal nerve
system and brain.
(Q) Is it best for me to leave my investments as they now
stand?
(A) Very good, in the present position.
(Q) Will bonds due December 15th be taken care of at
maturity?
(A) The intentions are to be at present. They should be.
They will be, as seen at present.
(Q) Who is it that is trying to get building where business
is located?
(A) We don't find it!
(Q) Regarding the dream - [...], my son, kept telling me
something - impressing upon me most forcibly not to forget
it, but upon awakening I had. Another time, [...] was
telling me something, and was also saying, whatever I
did to not let Mr. [...] hear what he had said.
(A) In this respect, as has been intimated and given the
body may gain much of an understanding as respecting mental,
material, and spiritual conditions, Dreams are of three
characters, or natures: Those that are of the purely
physical, wherein conditions are magnified through the action
of the digestive system, and are often called nightmares. In
that of the purely mental aberration, or imagination, these
have often been designated as suppressed desires, or of those
natures innate wherein the self, or the ENTITY - the soul of
self - attempts to reason with the purely mental mind. Then
there is that condition as has been presented to this body,
in that the cosmic forces of the universal force, in which
those who have passed from the material or physical plane
may attune their selves, their souls, to the MIND of the
soul of an individual who has that force in self where in the
material is laid aside. Then we find these as here given,
that the physical or material is only able to bring that
portion to self's consciousness where the individual
impressed self upon the activity of the mental force of
self. These may be applied in the material sense, either as
warnings or as knowledge, or as understanding, and in each
may gain that of the assistance of the broader vision of
the individual who thus effects the communicating force, or
element between same. In these - that as is given in the
body was NOT to forget referring to those promises the body
often made, that the self would ever remain with the body
- absent from BODY, yet in soul and spirit ever present. In
that WARNING as GIVEN, THAT AS a warning to protect the body.
Cultivate an understanding - apply that known - and more may
be given.
(Q) What is the significance of my continual dreaming of my
husband?
(A) Just as has been outlined. Will the body - NOT
unbalancing self in mind or way, but heed those conditions
that are presented, they STILL may assist, guide, help and
COMFORT the body, in the material, the physical, and the
spiritual plane, and they seek to do such.
(Q) Would you recommend a local lawyer, or one from another
city?
(A) The friend!
(Q) Would [...] be advisable?
(A) The friend!
(Q) The body does not understand who is referred to. Please
explain in a way that the body WILL understand who to employ
as a lawyer.
(A) The friend - that one who has the more often been
courteous, kind, and friendly to the body. Seek and ye shall
find - Seek and ye shall receive, was not spoken merely of
those in any sense.
(Q) Is the friend the lawyer, or the one who should be asked
regarding who to employ?
(A) The friend - this one may counsel and assist the body.
Not necessarily the lawyer, but who to employ as attorney in
same - an attorney in themselves, as far as that's concerned,
but not a LAWYER practising -
(Q) Is the friend the one who has been associated with the
business - the automobile business?
(A) One who has been associated, and knows much of the
inside conditions. We are through for the present.

My Dear Mr. Cayce,
I am very sorry I have kept the book I borrowed so long
[[
3744] series?], and I offer my sincere apologies.
Because of sickness, also many business engagements, which
took quite a bit of my time, it was impossible for me to read
[the] book as carefully as I desired, but I scanned through
it, and how I longed to some time read it thoroughly.
It contains much valuable information.
Thank you very much for your kindness, with best wishes to
you, I am
Sincerely yours, (Mrs.) [
2218]
8/13/67 She died at the age of 88, leaving two daughters.
