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 tell you. You will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained from 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 of [136]. This we have had before. The dreams, as we see, come to the entity in that way and manner as have been given, and may be used in that way as has been outlined for the body. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Monday, January 4, or Tuesday morning, January 5, 1926. "The family, including [900], were quarreling over my mother [139] and her health and what should or should not be done. The Voice: 'Listen and heed two doctors first: Dr. Eldsberge & second Dr. - .' The name of the second doctor forgotten. Who is this second doctor to be heeded?
   (A) (interrupting) The Great Physician.
4. (Q) (continuing) And just exactly what event is referred to here?"
   (A) The conditions which have existed, do exist in the lives of those who are seen. And the entity views in this vision a possibility, as it were, or a happening in the minds of each concerned, and as to how each mind has viewed and does view the incident. As is given, heed physically in that way as given by the physician in charge, for this is the mechanical end; yet the One as forgotten, one as unheeded, unheralded, gives the greater promise and the supplying force to the mechanical, and through the spirit elements supplies that necessary for the curative forces in each and every individual.
   Then the lesson: Though same may be viewed from the material end, yet within that force which is supplied through the divine forces as are manifest, is that ever ready influence in the lives of all, if all would heed.
5. (Q) "Many of us, including [900], were gambling at tables and games and a policeman came in and broke up our games. Then a plain clothes detective entered and told us we could resume our gambling games - that there was no harm in them. Many of us were at play, including my college boy and girl friends. The policeman again entered, broke up the gambling and took most off to jail. [900], however, hid behind 6 other people (6 people and [900] makes the 7th), and escaped arrest by the policeman. I saw these others, marching up and down in line under the strong hand of the law, suffering for having broken the law, even though one of its agents (detective) encouraged this."
   (A) This, as we see, is an emblematical condition viewed by the subconscious forces of the entity, as to conditions which may be of a parallel nature or an ensample by that as is viewed. For each of these conditions represent and present, as is seen, the various aspects of conditions existent in physical souls, in mental ways, in the life of individuals and entities as seen. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) What is indicated in the people concerned with me?
   (A) The manner in which certain conditions are viewed by self and people as a generality.
7. (Q) What is indicated in gambling games and the many who were at play?
   (A) This is an indication of the type of thought as pertains to things spiritual, or towards those of the phenomenized conditions of spirit forces, as are manifest in the material world. Some gambling with same, see?
8. (Q) What is meant by the policeman who chased us first, arrested us and punished us second time?
   (A) "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is death." That is, as applied here: Though this to individuals may seem right, for the desire of the flesh is in that way, and though same may be winked at or allowed by the individuals who are guardians of the law, the law as of spiritual is of a Whole; that is, law for people is people's law. Spiritual law applies to people, of people and of the spiritual force, see?
9. (Q) Why does a similar servant of the same law encourage us to do the thing that will bring punishment from same source?
   (A) As the answer of the desire of flesh to flesh; as that brings its own reward, and in the end (emblematical) is seen the punishment in same. Same as is seen how that one, though to others and to the entity equally guilty as others, escapes same by, as it were, hiding behind others. That is, the entity then is in that way and manner of becoming and BEING the law; then is WITHIN the law and not on the way of being compelled by that, or being in the way as an amenable to that law.
10. We are through with this reading.
