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 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, [137], with the dreams as have come to the entity from time to time. These, as we see, are those correlations of the physical as are applied in this emblematical form for the betterment, when used aright, for the individual entity. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Night of November 25, or morning of November 26, 1925. "I wagered $100 even money that Penn would beat Cornell in their annual football game. Penn lost and I lost my money. (In reality Penn won)".
   (A) In this there is presented to the entity those phases of the physical action that, when viewed from the spiritual end, there may be gained a conception of the action of the law as regarding the phenomenized forces in the physical world. As this: In the dream there is the wager regarding an action in the physical. Physical action purely, then, to take place, with spirit forces in opposite direction. That is, as the spirit of Penn, or the spirit of self, spirit of various formations, see, and as these conditions show that in which the spirit action is directed, and that in which same is modified, by the action of individual, see? and as same is studied from this angle, this viewpoint, the conception of how, that as viewed materially, a thing may be a thing, yet when spiritual discernment is not that at all, see? for as is seen here - we find the action in the dream is lost, in reality is gained, when the real spirit by losing in one would be beneficial in the gain for another - see?
4. (Q) Explain my vision of Penn losing, and then in actual fact, Penn winning.
   (A) Just as given, see. That the discernment of how, in actual fact, or as may be illustrated in another manner and then correlate the two conditions as to-gether, see? The Jesus in the physical world, with purely physical action, see, PHYSICAL, yet in holy spiritual action One with the Father, see? As is seen then in this, one with a loss, one with a gain, one in a physical sense, another in the spiritual sense, see?
5. (Q) Night of November 26, or morning of November 27. "In quick succession pictures of France passed before me. They passed so rapidly that it hurt my eyes; then I came to a place where they were breaking branches of pine trees and after which they wired the broken branches on again."
   (A) In this we find as that representing the condition as existent in the actual condition of the individual, as is pertaining to physical and spiritual law, see? for as we find in these, we find many of a correlating nature, and as is seen in the vision of the masses, the vision of an individual headless, the vision of a condition and not a condition; in this we find, as the visions of conditions passed before the individual, conditions happening, and attempt to replace by physical conception of a fact viewed from the material viewpoint, see? Then these are as but lessons that the entity may gain the concept of the truths, the laws, the principles as are being enacted in, as it were, experiences. For as we see, all of these are as but a portion of the individual, for many and many of these and their lessons are retained as an inmost expression of experiences in the inner self of [137].
6. (Q) "In some reference to the above, they in some manner were working on feathers."
   (A) The continuation of those same elements expressed in a manner as of the ability of conditions to be, as it were, grafted on to new ideas, and as of feathers, those as of plucked out, yet builded upon to a stability even greater than at first - see?
7. (Q) Night of November 28, or morning of November 29. "Howard Froelich, with whom I am friendly, on the floor of the stock exchange, was not running his specialist book as usual, but was giving out orders to others on the exchange. (He was actually admitted to the firm of De Coppet - Doremus, as of December 1st) I saw this man doing as above."
   (A) Again, in the same manner, emblematically, as of the physical conditions of entity, the same lessons, the same laws, as applying to those spiritual laws, are being depicted and shown to the entity in such an emblematical manner as entity may be able to grasp the different and various phases of the conditions as are being presented, and may wholly grasp that lesson as is being given, which is as but this: In self, [137], there is that portion of the whole, that in spiritual manner, made one with the spiritual forces as are manifest in the physical world, and when these are taken in that manner and classified and used aright, same may become the stable forces of self in this material world, for material gain and for a greater understanding in this material world.
8. (Q) Night of November 29, or morning of November 30. "Saw our bank balance, that is, the balance of [137] Brothers at $2000."
   (A) This, as we see, showing again to the entity in physical, in numerical understanding of numbers, those conditions in which, as two representing to the whole that of the forces which, if applied aright, may make the grand whole of the double oneness in purpose, or of the loss in simpleness by not complying with those truths as are being set before the entity. Then study all of these together as are given, applying self in that way and manner that keeps the understanding in a way that would grasp the greater truths as are being presented to the entity, and make of self that as is set before, for in this way there is a joy, a peace, an understanding beyond the concept of him who knows not of that divine indwelling force in man.
9. We are through for the present.
