23. (Q) Give any other advice that would aid me now. (A) Let THIS mind be in self:

Know, as is the law of cause and effect, the manner of sowing is the manner of reaping.

As has been indicated for the body, that as regarding the treasure should be sufficient to enable the body in the present to carry forward much that has been desired by the body for constructive activity in many directions.

Then, seek same through interpretation of that as may be and is presented to self through right desire, right associations of activities. Not confusing the purpose as first caused the body to withdraw. Though those of the associates cached same, the body itself withdrew from the period of activity.

Now, seek self - and know that if this is to be accomplished it must be through self’s efforts carrying FORWARD that as first DETERMINED in the body, in the experience that made for that determination which may bring or find fruition in the present experience.

Study, then, to show thyself, thy body, thy mind, approved unto Creative Forces; rightly dividing the words that are presented to self as concerning constructive influences in the experience of the body.

24. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 2/4/36 Letter from Mrs. [264] to EC: ”…Several years ago a woman in … left her husband and three children and went to … and married another man, and finally was arrested. The first husband employed [853] to go to … and defend her. After [853]‘s talk, the Judge freed the woman without one penny of cost to anyone, and of course she actually was guilty of bigamy according to the letter of the law…”

R2. 2/24/36 [853]‘s ltr. to EC:

Mr. Edgar Cayce, Virginia Beach, Va.

My dear Mr. Cayce:-

I deeply regret that you and your wife and stenographer were arrested while in Detroit [See 254-89 Reports]. I feel that it should never have occurred, since the Association of Research & Enlightenment has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Department as a charitable organization, and persons contributing gifts to it are exempt from Federal Income Taxes upon such gifts. I am sure that the arrest would never have taken place if the authorities in Detroit were half as well acquainted with you and with your work as I am.

As a former member of the Board of Trustees of the Association for Research & Enlightenment I shall always be interested in the work and want to see it prosper, and my personal regard for you is even higher than my regard for the Association, if such a thing is possible.

As you already know, I have not been engaged in the general practice of law for the past three years, as I have been in the employ of the United States Government in different capacities. However, if you feel that you need me and want me, and can make it convenient to come by way of Washington in your car when on your way to Detroit for the trial, I will gladly get leave of absence and go with you, and work to the best of my ability to defend you and the others in the party, and, of course, without any charge to you. I feel that this is the least I can offer, as I feel that my wife owes her life to the information received through you since she had been given up by the physicians. However, I would need about a week’s notice in order to arrange my leave of absence.

If you feel that you will not need me, but can use an affidavit, let me know and I shall gladly furnish you with one, or you may write it or dictate it yourself, and I am reasonably sure that I could sign it.

With very best wishes, and trusting that all of you get an acquittal, I am,

Yours very truly, [853]
