TEXT

1. EC: [After GC had given the suggestion for waking him.] There are some here that would speak with those that are present, if they desire to so communicate with them.
2. GC: We desire to have at this time that which would be given.
3. EC: [Long pause] Don't all speak at once. [Pause] Yes. I knew you would be waiting, though. Yes? Haven't found him before? All together then now, huh? Uncle Porter, too? He was able to ease it right away, huh? WHO? Dr. House? No. Oh, no. No, she is alright. Yes, LOTS better. Isn't giving any trouble now. Haven't seen her? Why? Where have you been? Oh. She is in another change? How long will they stay there? Oh, they don't count time like that. Oh, you do have 'em. Well, those must be pretty now, if they are all growing like that way. Yes? Yes, I'll tell her about 'em. Tell Gertrude you are all together now, huh? Uncle Porter, Dr. House, your mother? And Grandma. Oh. Grandpa still building. Oh, he made the house; yeah. Tell Tommy what? YES! Lynn? Yes, he's at home. Oh, you knew that! Huh? Ain't any difference? Well, how about the weather? Oh, the weather don't affect you now. Don't change. Oh, you have what you want to - depends on where you go. Sure, when you are subject to that anyway. Little baby too! How big is it? Oh, he is GROWN now, huh? Yes. Coming back! When? Oh. Uhhuh. Alright. Why? Oh yes, they hear you - I'm sure they do. I hear you! For Gertrude? Yes, she is here - she hears you. Oh, yes!
4. (Q) I don't hear. May I have the message?
   (A) Sure, she hears you; don't you hear her talking? No, I don't know what she says.
5. (Q) I don't hear. Will you repeat the message for me?
   (A) Mama and Dr. House and Uncle Porter and the baby - we are all here. Grandpa has built the home here, and it's NICE! And we are all waiting until you come, and we will all be here ready - we are getting along FINE, doing WELL, yes! No. No more troubles now, for spring borders [?] all along the way; for we have reached together where we see the light and know the pathway to the Savior is along the narrow way that leads to HIS throne. We are on that plane where you have heard it spoken of that the body, the mind, are one with those things we have builded. Yes, I still play baseball, and Charlie has recently joined my club and I am still Captain to many of 'em. Well, we will be waiting for you!
6. (Q) Who was this speaking?
   (A) Who was this SPEAKING? HUGH! [GC's brother, Hugh Evans.]
7. (Q) Is that all?
   (A) That is Gladys? Tell Tiny not to be so severe with 'Cille, else she will have a greater problem on her hands than has been in the last few weeks. Burt can handle it much better. [GD's note: My 'teen-age sister, Cille was living with my married sister, Tiny. My father picked up the friction and problems involved, and the correct solution. My brother Burt did step in and assume responsibility for my sister 'Cille. Mr. Cayce consciously did not know of the situation, nor did I.]
8. (Q) Who is this speaking?
   (A) THOMAS Davis! [GD's father, Thomas Jefferson Davis. See 5756-14, Par. 8-A, 9-A.]
9. (Q) Is there a message for Mildred Davis?
   (A) (Continuing) MOTHER! Sure! Yes Ma'am! Yes. I told 'em what you said, and will be waiting for you. You will? Tell who? Papa? Yes. You'll be waiting? It won't be long! When? Oh - that you'll be waiting for him? Yes! Passage is easy after you have crossed. John? Oh, Uncle John! Yes. Grandma? Where? Oh, yes, I've seen him. Yes, he said you were gone on another chain [change? train?]. All came together. When? Oh. What you desire, then. Oh, you saw the boys last night, huh? Pasacgoola? Didn't go by there, Biloxi. Uhhuh. Oh, you knew he was. Yes. Should have named him Thomas? No, his name's Cayce [William Cayce Jones, son of Mr. & Mrs. W. L.]! Oh, you have seen him there. It was you he saw! Yes, I'll tell her. Tell Pa to write him about it, huh? Yes. Write Cayce or W. L.? Oh, MRS. W. L.! Yes'm. Mr. Taylor [Rev. Dan P. Taylor]? You DID! He was a good preacher here. Yes, he's here. Huh? Yes'm, I will. Yes'm. Yes'm. I'll read it more. In which part? Twenty-seventh? Yes'm. I'll learn this. And you have seen 'em all? Yes? And you are coming back, yes? That's wonderful! Thank you. Thank you. Black River? No'm. I will. Yes'm, I'll try. You KNOW I do! I'll try. Good-bye.
   Hello Mr. WILGUS [See 5756-6]! Yes, it's changed a whole lot now - they have a different sort of place since you came. Oh, you're still carrying conventions, huh? Yes? Will tell Squire what? Alright, I will. Sure he can hear you. No, I haven't seen him before. Well, I wouldn't want to unless that was best? Would it be? Yes, I still got THAT mark! Oh, that's when you are close by, huh, when you rub it? No, I never did get it. Tom said what? Oh, THOSE are the papers. Alright. And all of them are there? Well, they've changed it all now. Who destroyed 'em? He COULDN'T! He did? Well! Just as well. Whatever IS, is best. Oh, you've learned that! Then you do believe now. How? Smith [See 5749-5]? So you have heard him there? Oh, he was with those on that convention. Oh, you were too - you CARRIED IT - WELL! That was good! Yes, I saw 'em. Moody? Yes. Stuart [George Stuart. See 5749-5 Par. R1, of 5/01/34, EC's dream of deceased evangelists] is still as big-mouthed as ever, huh? Well, well! Oh, you don't like to hunt now. Yes SIR! Alright. Good-bye. At Old Point? Alright. Good-bye.
   [7/09/34 MD's note: He spoke as if over a telephone and we could only hear his side. Evidently he contacted several relatives and friends on the other side, including his mother. Part of the messages were relayed through. Messages for Conductor and Stenographer. Very unusual. When be awoke he remembered nothing.]

   Dear Janet:
   This is just a note to ask a favor of you. If and when you might quote from the Norfolk Ledger Dispatch article about me, I'd appreciate it if you'd delete that reference to my getting a message from my father through Edgar Cayce. While it is true, I'm sorry I included it in my interview while reminiscing with that nice man Jeff South. It will only give ammunition to the fundamentalists who claim that Edgar Cayce was anti-Christian, communicating with spirits, etc., etc. Edgar Cayce in both his trance and conscious state did not approve SEEKING communication with those who had passed on; he said that simply because one had passed into the spirit world that one did not suddenly have all knowledge. We were advised in the readings, and by Edgar Cayce in the conscious state, to seek guidance directly from God - if He sends a messenger, we accept it: not otherwise.
   It was nice to meet and talk with you. I hope you will come back to see us.
   Sincerely, [signed] Gladys Davis Turner
