Protestant) This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Artic Crescent, Va. Beach, Va., this 12th day of December, 1932, in accordance with request made by self - Miss [243], Active Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Miss [243], Mrs. [340], H. L. Cayce and L. B. Cayce.]

Time of Reading 3:40 to 3:50 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Va.

1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind, [243], present in this room, who - in the face of the present financial conditions, and the fact that [340] & [348] are considering leaving Va. - seeks advice and counsel as to how she can maintain her contact with the EC work and still be self-sustaining. You will answer questions.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [243], present in this room; also those conditions and problems that confront the body in the present.

3. As there appears from those conditions, that if they are maintained as in the present, the body would be left without those conditions that would enable the body to carry on, then it would appear that there should either be sought other associations in or around Virginia Beach or those in some channels where there would be the consideration of carrying on in something of the same manner, in association or connection with work of the same character or nature.

4. These, then, present problems at the present time, in the face of conditions and circumstances, that would make for the undoing of conditions that have been set, or the making of positions or associations that would be agreeable.

5. As we find, these may be made in association or connection with individuals who are carrying out or attempting to in some manner or way carry on in the activities of the same character of associations. These we would follow.

6. (Q) Just who does this refer to? (A) Any that might be considered in the same character, either at the Beach or in other surroundings or conditions that would make for such associations.

7. (Q) Is there a plan whereby I could remain at Va. Beach, or would it be better for me to go elsewhere? (A) Should the body not able to make the associations or arrangements whereby it might be associated with one at the Beach, then go elsewhere - as given.

8. (Q) Who would be suggested at the Beach to try to contact? (A) Anyone that might be interested in the undertaking of carrying on for individuals that might be interested in the work, and that which has been contemplated.

9. (Q) If unable to make contact at Va. Beach, what other place would be suggested? (A) Either in New York or in Philadelphia.

10. (Q) Please give me names of those in N.Y. and Philadelphia. (A) With [459] [N.J.], or with those in the Rosehill School [Chester Heights, Pa.]

11. (Q) Give the name of some in Va. Beach? (A) Any that might be interested.

12. (Q) Could any contacts be made in Nashville? (A) These might be made in other directions, or old lines [millinery?]; but, as we find, not in the same associations or connections.

13. (Q) Any further advice that would be of help or benefit at this time for the body? (A) As the advice or counsel, there is little need that the body be given that there is little or no need to worry; for these are a natural inclination of the body that must - if there would be harmony in self - be as fast eliminated as may be done; for worry only unfits one for even making the attempts.

Now, when there has been and is made the best possible effort that self may give to do that which is in keeping with His will (as is understood by self), leave the results in His hands; for whom the Lord quickeneth may be turned into those channels that may make for those associations which will give the channel for the better service to self, to others.

MAKE KNOWN the desires to channels, to those associations and connections that may be had. Then wait ye on Him.

14. We are through.
