TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [136] of New York City, and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lesson of each of these, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind. This we have had here before. The dreams, as we see, come in the various forms and manners as have been given, and may be used in the way and manner as set for this entity, through the action of self in the various planes of cosmic forces, as are manifested through the phenomenized form in the material world at this time. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Sunday morning, November 29. "I was going into swim from a rickety platform - very unsubstantial in its structure. As I jumped in or tried to dive in, I made a belly whapper - i.e. landed on my stomach - it hurt."
   (A) In this we find there is brought to the conscious mind in an emblematical manner and form, through physical conditions existent in the body, that which may be used as the lesson for the entity, see? for as the pain in the inmost portion of the torso gives rise to the emblematical condition presented, the entering the water, the desire to swim, to dive, the entering into those conditions as regard to motherhood - and as the body finds self in the attitude ready for that, the physical conditions or structure in which the body has kept self is not prepared in the manner as would bring the better conditions for the condition of that office at this time, see? and as this will soon occur, the body should take cognizance and be more sure of that position by and in self for this greatest of offices given to the sex - woman. [2/26 She had miscarriage.] [GD's note: Her son was born 16 months later on 4/04/27.]
4. (Q) "Was back at Newcome College and was going to room at the dormitory. I wanted 2 rooms to live with 2 other girls and I wanted my own private bath. I wanted good meals - decided not to stay because the food was poor."
   (A) In this again we see there pointed to the entity that the care of self, in physical and in mental, is to the best advantages of the body. And as is seen in the vision, it is best that the body take cognizance of those conditions necessary for the moral welfare, for the physical welfare, for the mental development of the body. The same should be taken to the body as befits same for that position held in the present time, see?
5. (Q) "I met E. C. in a department store and noticed how thin she had become. She asked me why I hadn't called her up to inform her of my intention of breaking the date I told her I had. She disputed me and quarrel ensued."
   (A) This again is a presentation through mental forces of conditions arising at times in the entity's mental forces. And as same is pictured to the entity, with that same relationship as held with the entity seen, and over those same conditions as seen that the dispute arises, it had to do with this same condition as has been presented to the entity: in doing, in acting, towards those things, those conditions as seem in keeping, and as uncomplimentary to self in these ways, see? Then, as the lesson should be, that entity should watch, should care, should be in that way that will keep the best for self, for in the mental forces of same there is that necessary element for the bringing into the forces of man those that are best in the gift of the gods. Them make self that channel through which same may manifest, and be unto Israel that as of old - see? or in the law and in the compliance of same, there is that peace, that joy, that understanding that passeth all of the earthly conditions as relate to either desire of flesh, of eye, or pride of the life.
6. (Q) Monday morning, November 30, at home. "Dreamed my father died. It must have been in the near future, because my mother [139] was still limping from a recent accident in which her foot was hurt."
   (A) In this we see there is the presentation to the entity of an illness, or of an unsatisfactory condition becoming existent in the relation between the father, mother or SELF, father and mother, see? And as the physical condition of the father is in that way in which there is already uneasiness in the mental mind, through this same is brought that projectio of the condition as may become existent. Then the warning would be: more care in the health, especially the diet for the father, see? More care in the manner and way in which the communications are addressed to mother as regarding the relations existent in the home at present, see? Not the foreboding of any condition of this character to appear at present. Rather that as carried through mental condition and the warning as seen for each one - to the mother as crippled, see? that is, hurting the feelings of one, see? The other as to the health: Care through diet, for we would find, as to those conditions as existent in the father in the physical health, and condition as existent, these would add to the benefits to the physical body from that condition existent, see? The diet - no surgars, no starches, see? The adjustments of those conditions existent in the 8th, 9th and 10th dorsal, by chiropractic, or better by osteopathic adjustments chiropractically given, and by taking of a 20% solution of Ambrosia Weed, or 6 ounces of the Weed in 1 quart of distilled water, reduced to one-half quantity, and to same (after being strained) add 2 ounces beet sugar, with 4 drams of Gin, to preserve same. The dose of this would be teaspoonful 3 to 4 times each day - see?
7. We are through with this reading.
