(Q) "I seemed to be going some place through the woods.
Once on such an errand an old lady asked me to show her the
way, which I gladly did. Then another time I was going
through the woods to some destination with [
137], [
140],
[
900] and many others. It seemed we had to prepare dinner
and I said: 'Give them much water, so they get filled up and
eat less.' Then someone went to a long cabinet with a mirror
and opened it. We all grew frightened for it seemed to be a
skeleton she was taking out. We ran away panic-stricken, but
on turning around found it really was a loaf of bread she
took out and was holding it up for us all to see."
(A) This as we see, emblematically, presents to the mind of
the body those studies in the psychological forces as are
being presented to the entity, as is seen in these manners:
The way through wood representing that maze as is presented
to the mind, when the first indications of conditions are
presented to same. The showing of the way to some, giving
that expression as of how the entity through mental forces
(MENTAL) has gained that insight and which, by the correct
use of same, may be beneficial to many. Again we see the
wandering through the woods with many held close to the
mental forces of the body, the seeing of the skeleton, or
that as is to be prepared for food turning into that,
presenting then that condition of mind as pertaining to the
variations in the mental forces of entity, which when viewed
aright and proper, as is seen, becomes the staff of life, or
that food with which entity may develop, morally, mentally,
spiritually, financially. Best then accept same.
(Q) "Dreamed that I could never have a child - that none
would ever come to me - that I would never give birth."
(A) This again is a mental condition that is being carried
through the entity's forces, and presents only that of
mental, for with the application of self in that manner of
the law, as has been set by the entity's study and knowledge
of same, through same would the physical condition be
acquired and brought about. Hence the lesson that is
necessary for the preparations for such a condition -
Motherhood, and as this is held the highest service to the
Maker, and to the one held dear in earth plane, so is that
spiritual development necessary that the entity gain that
with which to give to that body, that will depend upon this
body, physical, that training mentally and spiritually to
gain and give the best in the physical world. This will
occur. Child will be born. Necessary that these be carried
out, however, as pertaining to the law concerning such; that
is, of that as given by the lawgiver on the mount.
(Q) Thursday morning, October 29, 1925, at home. "All of
us, Ma - her friends, [
900] and others were back in New
Orleans, way back in old days when we lived down town. We
were preparing to go back to Deal Beach for the summer.
Mrs. [
4855], my mother's friend, said she wouldn't go, but
was going home to White Plains. Mrs. [...], another friend,
said she would go back to Deal with us. We all got into
automobiles and started. Then Ma got angry and irritable
with me as she was this past summer. Was very unpleasant."
(A) This is the presentation to the mental forces, through
that correlation of the subconscious, of conditions that may
be expected, through the relation of the mother and of
friends in the old home, becoming irritated and worried at
some condition, attitude or position, that will be assumed
by this entity. Being forewarned, be prepared. [See
137-20
and
136-18 Reports.]
(Q) "Saw five chrysanthemums on the grave of [
900]'s
father."
(A) In five weeks, then, there will be presented to [
900]
that lesson from the father that will bring the greatest
joys to the life, for in same there will come the perfect
understanding of that being sought concerning the first laws
pertaining to the conditions and experience exercised in the
fourth dimension plane.
(Q) [by 900] Now here was an object lesson to [
900] just as
is Edgar Cayce in psychic state. [
136] had been talking to
[
900], lying next to him, and dozed for just a flash of a
second, during which she had the above given dream and spoke
as she had it, saying: 'Where did you get those flowers?'
and immediately on the second said: 'Why, I was dreaming -
just for the flash of a second!' Now the subconscious must
have governed the speech 'Where did you get those flowers' -
that is, have caused the physical mind to control the voice
to speak these words - then the physical again in control and
subconscious subjugated, indicated a concept of that which
was really taking place in terming it a dream. Is this so?
(A) This is in that same connection as has been given, that
all pertains to that ability to gain from the subconscious
those projections, and as is seen here, manifested before the
mind of [
900]. Correct.
(Q) Friday, October 30, at home. Voice: "Do not change
tooth pastes. It isn't good for you."
(A) Purely the mental forces of entity rebelling against the
inner forces of self, regarding physical conditions of body,
and being correlated with the mental projects same through
the super-mental forces or body consciousness of entity.
Not a dream, not a vision - a super-mental consciousness, and
as is seen, magnified in the entity's mind until the action
of same would act as conditions, or mind over matter, for to
the entity itself would become detrimental, yet conditions
will arise, may arise, in which it would be necessary to make
the change.
(Q) [by [
900]] "Then [
900] heard [
136] speak as follows:
[
136]: 'That is what you think, isn't it, [
900]?' [
900]
(awake): 'Think what?' [
136]: 'We shouldn't change tooth
pastes. Not good.' [
900]: What are talking about?' [
136]
awakening: 'Oh, I just dreamed about - (tells of the
voice).'"
(A) This, as we see, is the projection of those mental
forces as are given, and are in that border force of the
subconscious taking control, yet in this we find the mental
superseding and over-shadowing - yet this in this entity may
be developed to that degree wherein the subconscious, through
the speaking faculties of the entity, may be able to give
that information that would be well for self and for those
near and dear to the entity.
We are through for the present.
BACKGROUND
10/27/25 Husband [
900]'s letter: "In [
136]'s [See 136-16,
Par. 3-A--5-A] will probably be given something on my
physical. I guess through her, who cares for me, may be
given, in interpretation of that she received, the physical
reading I really need. I guess this, for of course she might
be the one to get a dream that would lead to such. We'll
see, for in this may be seen how the Forces even guard our
health, through others, if we are too negligent or busy when
we make ourselves one with them."
10/28/25 and
10/30/25 Husband [
900] submitted [
136]'s dreams
for interpretation - see 136-16, Par. 6-A--10-A.
"Is this body [
136] psychic, not in the broader sense as we
all are, but in the narrower sense, of being able to
subjugate the physical mind to become in mind one with the
universal forces?"
