(Q) Morning of November 23, 1926. I dreamed I awakened at 3
A.M. That at this time I heard a man outside of my bedroom
door and I was frightened that it was a burglar. He entered
and was not a burglar, but a man I thought was Edgar Cayce.
"No," he said, "I am not Cayce." He then told me that [
900]
would have to come with him. He was dressed in white. Then
Mrs. Cayce and Gladys Davis came in dressed in evening dress
and they urged me to slip on something and come out with
them, but I told them I could not do so, because I could no
longer get into my evening dresses. I had grown too fat.
They urged me, but I didn't go and then they, with [
900],
went out with the man.
(A) In this there is seen there are presented many different
phases of the studies the entity had made of information
which has been given through those forces or channels, as is
termed by the entity through the efforts of Edgar Cayce.
In the conditions as seen, while the message that is
presented to the entity is apparently from that source, the
closer analyses of same show that it - the information - is
only presented through those channels, and not from that
source as is seen that those who would persuade the entity to
give in the self to go out through certain ways, means and
channels, and that there is the necessity that [
900] go also.
This is seen and shown, that through these sources the
greater train or trend of information is given, or termed or
given in a manner to be better understood. The entity's
feeling of expressing self as unable to give self in this
manner shows that the entity is rather in that position of
better understanding such information as may be given, than
would be when the mental entity and body conscious entity
would or might be swayed more by outside conditions. But
while under that influence of that constant spiritual
development of that through which the spiritual element may
manifest, the entity is nearer to that point of a perfect
understanding. This may be seen exemplified or understood,
if the entity will only consider that since being in this
condition (physically speaking), there are more often those
closer communions in sleep or rest from outside forces. Or
more dreams, more visions, more actions of those elements as
are termed spiritual, pass through the channels of the
spiritual entity's manifestation in this material world.
Hence the entity may take advantage of same - yet, as is
seen, keep in that balanced way and fashion, that the more
perfect understanding may come.
(Q) My mother was sick in bed and got up to go somewhere
with others. They, including my mother, would not tell me
what all the commotion was about, because they said in my
pregnant condition I should not be worried or mentally
disturbed. Someone, however, did tell me about it. My
mother had gone to my Aunt Ada who was dying of pneumonia.
Then I did wake up and it was exactly 3 A.M.
(A) Again a presentation through these forces of the
presence of the entity of those influences through which the
entity passes in these various experiences, as has just been
given. And, as is seen, the mother's influence, the mother's
consciousness remains ever nearer to the entity through these
periods.
In the seeing of the entity arise from sick to attend to the
sick, with the experiencing of the condition, this indicates
only that the entity as seen may experience and may be afraid
of such conditions arising, but will overcome same through
the efforts of those attending or waiting on same, see? for,
as the entity sees and feels and knows through the mental
forces of the entity - that is, of the entity [
136] - such
conditions, or pneumonia, with Aunt Ada would be very severe,
see? yet these may be expected to be overcome, for it will
not develop fully - for they arose from the sick bed to
administer to those sick, see?
(Q) Does this mean that my Aunt Ada will be taken with
pneumonia? When?
(A) Rather as has been given, see?
(Q) How may I act to prevent it? To help her?
(A) Warn regarding or against such conditions, see? and to
be careful of these conditions under the existing influences
of the body, Aunt Ada.
(Q) What does the time element mean - 3 A.M.?
(A) That the study of same may be perfectly understood -
three - that element in that psychological effect of
numbers, or of conditions or things, see? as is seen - both
- in that of the entering of someone that frightens the
entity, or that of the entity's knowing the mother ministers
to the sick.
(Q) Sometime ago, I beheld my mother. She was displeased
with me because I was going out to theatres, etc. She said:
"The least you could have done for me was to keep mourning
for one year."
(A) This rather is that presentation of the nearness of the
mother to the entity, and of the various phases of that as
has been given: "I go away, and all I have said unto you
will be brought to your remembrance through the spirit of the
activity of the mental being as relating to conditions," see?
This is not a literal giving, but the real meaning as is
given in that message of the Master to the Disciples. As is
given here, and as is seen, the entity is reminded through
this transition, or in this sleep or in this vision, of those
conditions as related to or between the individuals during an
earth period, yet the various manifestations to the entity of
the various conditions as have been spoken by the mother -
the appearances, the nearness, the feeling of the presence in
the room, the full conditions as have been presented, are to
the entity as the higher, the fuller, the greater UNDER-
STANDING of the LIVING of the mother - only in material
plane, see? and as is seen, the pleasures that are brought
to the entity in the study of these conditions, in the
feeling of the nearness of these conditions, is the
gratifying element in the relations with the entities in the
present condition, for continually do we see the warnings -
for good, for bad - for the more perfect understanding of the
relation of the living in the material plane, the living in
the spiritual plane, and as to how the greater forces of the
spiritual plane, through the attunement of the material
plane to the spiritual plane, gain access, or ascending
elements of a more perfect at-oneness of the universal
forces as are magnified in the material plane, of the
all-powerful force of the creative energy as is given for the
understanding of the individual who would seek His Face.
(Q) Morning of November 24, 1926. Dreamed I was insane - my
mind gone and reason unbalanced. My mother was there and was
having an awful time with me. [See
136-2 and 136-49.]
(A) This is that presentation to the entity of how that the
essence of the presence of the entity in the mother would
keep this entity, [
136], in that better understanding that
prevents the mental and the material mind from becoming so
distorted as to lose reason as concerning spiritual elements
as are manifested in the material world. For, as is seen,
the entity experiences, realizes, that there have been
moments when the entity in its attempting to belittle
elements as pertaining to a spiritual understanding has put
its mentality as an UNBALANCED condition, through same
creating barriers that have been hard to break, hard to be
understood, even by self. Then rather in that way and manner
as has been presented through these forces as have been given
from time to time should the entity gain, through the mental
study, through the body-conscious experience of those
conditions in the material and in the mental plane
(physically) of the relation of each, keep self mentally,
morally, physically, spiritually, in that at-onement with the
universal forces that give the better understanding to each
and every entity.
We are through for the present.
