TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [137] of ..., New York City, and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lessons of each of these, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions which I shall ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, here. This we have had before. The dreams as we see that come to the entity are of that nature that the entity may gain the lessons, the truths, from the phenomenized forces. And these are as but experiences in the phenomenized life, that the spiritual forces may gain strength, harmony and peace. Ready for dreams:
3. (Q) Friday evening, November 6, 1925. "Saw my father-in-law and myself walking in the court of 270 Park Avenue. Seemed to emphasize the fact that my father-in-law and I were there without our wives. We seemed completely alone, and the actions of mother-in-law and my wife seemed to be equally felt. Some sound woke me up."
   (A) In this we find those emblematical conditions presented to the entity for the entity's understanding. In this, then, we find that in which is presented to the entity of the difference of comprehension as is seen between different individuals. That is, the difference in positions is seen, that without the wife and mother-in-law, and the feeling of their being separated in thought and person, gives that to the entity, that the entity should more perfectly view those conditions in the mind of the wife and mother-in-law, seeing them from their viewpoint, and gaining the knowledge from same of the actions regarding each, see? For as is given in the lesson as we see here - that the entity not guided by same, see? [that is, the minds of the individuals] but the actions and mental forces are a thing apart; yet capable within self of so correlating conditions as arise from time to time, to keep in that even keel wherein the entity may gain the greater knowledge, by listening, as it were, yet being able to see from both viewpoints, see?
4. (Q) Night of November 6th. "I was thinking, worrying, about Southern Railway, and saw the figure 108. When I got to sleep I saw myself selling Southern Railway at 121 1/2."
   (A) This, as we see, the entity's mental forces, weighing with the subconscious mind that condition - regarding the stock and prices seen. For, as has been given, with certain combinations, the sale would be down. With certain other combinations the sale would be up, see? and as is viewed then, we find the prices will advance from their present figure to that of 122, see? selling off again then, with still the farther advance; that is, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. Under certain other conditions, see - the spirit of forces set in the opposite direction, the sale would be a down; then the greater advance, as it were - the larger holders shaking loose the smaller holders, see?
5. (Q) Does this mean, if one intent is carried out, the stock will go to 108, but if another intent is carried out the stock will go to 121 1/2? that in the spiritual consciousness both realities exist? That is, that the stock will sell at 108 and 121 1/2 and may or may not become facts in physical plane?
   (A) This is as just given. With one combination, selling one way. With another combination, selling the other way, see?
6. (Q) Does this mean rather that Southern will react to 108 and then go up to 121 1/2, or go to 121 1/2 from the present figure 112 and react down to 108?
   (A) As we find here, that as given the combinations as we see as are set at the present time, see? The reaction will be to 110 and then gradually advance to 122, with small fluctuations in between, then descend again and then go to the high point, descending then to 114, see?
7. (Q) Reaction to 108 would terribly hurt the finances of [137] and [900] with their present long position in Southern. What is advisable for them to do?
   (A) As given before, that as we see set at present, see? for those are the conditions as set.
8. (Q) "Saw Southern Railway going up but was not sure whether it went up from the present figure or from 108."
   (A) Southern is going up, for as given, the prices, the combinations, the conditions, would be given through the forces of this entity. Follow these as given then.
9. (Q) Night of November 6th or morning of 7th. "I seemed to be bathing, but the water running off of me was in dirty streams."
   (A) This again the lesson to the entity, as that as has been given in a former, in a different combination or in the form of the emblematical conditions of same. As the condition as seen is abhorrent to the body, see - of dirty, or dirty water streaming from body - so would the body cleanse self by gaining the more perfect knowledge. As is seen, "All shall be saved, so as by water." Comprehend that.
10. We are through with this reading.
