TEXT

1. MHB: Now you will have before you the body of [39], present in this room, and the enquiring mind of this body, who had the dream I will give you during the course of the past six years. At various times during the past six years the body has experienced the following: Visualized airship heavier than air, which collects its lifting and driving force from the atmosphere by means of points on the top of it. Underneath this machine there are apparently two heavy copper bars running the length of it, having small points underneath, which when charged with the force lifts the machine from the air apparently neutralizing the force of gravity. The machine was driven by the power streaming from points attached to the rear. You will give the interpretation of this dream or vision, tell us if such a machine is practical and if such a power is available, and how such may be made. You will answer questions regarding this.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [39], here. With dreams and visions as come to individual, these are of various classes and groups, and are the emanations from the conscious, subconscious, or superconscious, or the combination and correlation of each, depending upon the individual and the personal development of the individual, and are to be used in the lives of such for the betterment of such individual.
3. In this vision, we find this emblematical condition being presented to the entity. Not wholly a condition that may not be made feasible, plausible, workable, or used in the operation of man's endeavor; yet to the entity is as an emblematical condition, with those of the conscious forces using that which the mind has dwelt upon to show the higher forces as are to be used by the entity in the spiritual, mental, and physical development for same and as we see in the various presentations of the vision, the slight changes that occur in the make-up of the machine show the various amount of endeavor within the mental forces of the entity to gain the understanding of same; for, as is seen, there will appear this same vision three other periods in the development of the entity, and in each there will be seen again changes as are to come in the entity's understanding of the emanations, or the abilities of individuals to apply in the life of an entity in material plane the various lessons as are attained or gained from same. As is seen, all of the power must come from above. The bars representing, then, as the individual's foundation, upon which there is given the lifting power of same to soar through the various fields of knowledge in attaining the various points necessary for that development and that understanding to apply such forces in the material plane. Just as is seen in the various points from the machine, shows that all force, while as of one, is gained through the various sources and contacts as are made, and is called in the material plane that of the environmental forces, while in that of the hereditary forces is as that left in the wake of the impelling force that drives the body and the mind through those spaces necessary to make the individual one in all of its applications in the various fields of endeavor, whether studying the higher fields of thought or in making the turns or curves in the various walks of life, and in the individuals as the entity contacts from time to time.
4. In the application of same as from the field of the purely mechanical forces, these - as they are presented from time to time - will bring to the knowledge of the individual that as is necessary to bring about the changes in mechanical appliance of that force known as the earth-side force as has been applied in eons ago to those crafts that soared through the ether. [See Life reading 39-2.]
5. Be satisfied with that attained from the experience, until there is through a little here, a little there, line upon line, precept upon precept - applying that already gained, that more may be given unto thee.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) The entity, then, may seek this source for further information on coming experiences?
   (A) The entity may seek all sources - for, as is seen, there are many points toward the heavens, as of the lifting power. The stability of self - as is set in those bars that lift or parallel with the earth - must be kept in that brightness as is seen, that there may be attained more power, more force, in the applying in self that already attained.
8. (Q) That is all of the questions in this reading.
   (A) We are through with this reading for the present for much may be given to the entity as respecting its (the entity's) development, mentally, spiritually, physically. Use that in hand - for the simple rod stretched over the mighty sea became the power in the hands of him who walked with the Creative Energy - God. The withered rod became the budded almond in the hands of him who sought to know His ways, and applied same in the life. Keep thine paths straight. Walk in the shadow of His wing. Keep thine eyes, thine heart, ever to that source from which emanates all power that lifts man toward the Creator.
9. We are through with this reading.

   Dear Mrs. Turner:
   I am writing to you in regards to a reading [39-3] that Edgar Cayce gave for a man 7/17/27 at 5:10 P.M. at Virginia Beach, Virginia.
   I am interested in contacting the person that this reading was given for or his wife concerning the reading that was given at that time. You were the stenographer present at the reading and that is the reason I am writing you that maybe you would be able to furnish me with information concerning this reading or the man who the reading was given for.
   I am enclosing a copy of the reading that I am interested in.
   I am a Physicist by profession and I have become greatly interested in this particular reading. Edgar Cayce said that the man would have three more dreams concerning the heavier than air flying machine that he dreamed about. The enclosed reading should be self explanatory of what I am talking about.
   I would greatly appreciate it very much if you could supply me with any additional information concerning this reading or an address of this man or his wife that I might correspond with them concerning this reading. I am hoping that maybe the man might have written down some additional information concerning the flying machine that he dreamed about.
   I would appreciate hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
   Yours respectfully, [signed] R. N. Van Cor
