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 to be gained from each of these, as I read them to you, and you will answer the questions I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, [136]. This we have had here before.
3. The dreams, as we see, come to the entity through those channels as have been outlined for the entity, and should be used in the way and manner as has been given for the use of same. Ready for dream.
4. (Q) Of recent date. Something - that might be avoided - seemed to be going to happen to the baby. [See 142-1 Background.] I dreamed that something did happen - some trouble that I could save the infant.
   (A) In this there is presented to the mind and to the entity of the body [136], just the closer care and attention the body physically and mentally is to bear in mind as regarding that individual in its actions toward it. Not of a specific nature or condition is the warning, but as of the general condition that the body should look toward the attenuation of the body-proper of the individual, see? and in this way and manner gain for self - and for the body of the child - that as is necessary to prevent the troubles later on that would arise from being unaccustomed to meeting the needs of the individual wants of the baby, see?
5. (Q) Baby [142] is not gaining weight - why?
   (A) The nature of the conditions which exist concerning the development has reached that place wherein there is not much gain being made. Not that the foods or the assimilation of foods, or the eliminations from system are deranged at present; yet looking closer after the welfare of the body will be found to be beneficial. No change as yet, as we see, to be made in food or in the attention given. Keep as much fresh air for the baby as possible. Air, sunshine - but not direct rays on the body, see?
6. (Q) Morning of August 5, 1927. Dreamed [900]'s mother [106] would tire of California and return home in six weeks.
   (A) This again presenting to the entity - through that application of the mental forces of the body - physical conditions as existent as regarding an individual. This, as is seen, is rather the reflection of mental forces than of the accentuation of the super-conscious or subconscious forces, and is as of body reasoning; yet well within the bonds of conditions as will be seen to arise as regarding the individual.
7. (Q) Did my mother [139], seeing this condition, have anything to do with this prophecy?
   (A) Rather that of body conscious reasoning. Rather the mind and the attention of the spiritual forces guiding the body, the entity, the mental forces as respecting baby's condition, than of these physical conditions.
8. (Q) My consciousness becoming aware of conditions in the consciousness of Mother [106] (being directed there by the intellect) replied in this manner to the intellect from my subconscious viewpoint, I understand. But did -
   (A) (interrupting) Rather from that of the physical or body conscious, or mental mind reasoning, than from an accentuation of the subconscious forces. Rather the accentuation or development of the body-conscious reasoning with that of the subconscious of others, than of the subconscious forces reasoning from within the individual entity.
   For, as has been given, this entity, this body-conscious mind of [136], with development within self, with the accentuation of the thought, intent, purport - or entering into the silence for the self - may gain psychically those reactions from the body-conscious reasoning of self with the subconscious reasoning of others, or telepathic conditions - rather than spiritualistic conditions, see?
9. (Q) How could the prophecy be made? With what degree of infallibility? When is a so experienced prophecy infallible? When not?
   (A) Depending entirely upon the ability of the individual to reason properly with those conditions, and to the extent of the extenuation of the impressions as reasoned through the subconscious force of the individual from whom it is taken. Depending then entirely upon the development of the individual gaining such an ir-retrospection - or that of the reflection in the own consciousness of that seen and felt within the subconsciousness of others.
