TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [137] of ... St., N.Y. 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 same, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions I ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [137]. How often this entity changes in its mental, or in its physical aspect toward mental conditions as take place in the entity! Ready for the dreams.
3. (Q) Thursday night, Jan. 14, or Friday morning, Jan. 15, 1926. Dreamed something about [143] (daughter).
   (A) In this we find, as has been presented to the entity, that when the mental forces of the body-mind are held in that position wherein the inmost self gives intent and purpose, or gives strain and seeks knowledge, the inmost self presents same in the submerged condition of the physical. This, then, presents as the body-mind seeks to satisfy that desire, or that love intent toward the body, [l43], for its physical condition, see? Not that this is that the entity to be exceedingly or very sick. Entity should rather USE same as a lesson to same, that those truths as have been presented are as die-set. That is, they occur according to the law regarding same. The next?
4. (Q) Saturday night, Jan. 16, or Sunday morning, Jan. 17. Man who either resembled or was Jesus Christ, was walking on air, or in space. He was carrying a canoe on his back. He was stooped under the weight of the canoe. I saw him walking on the sky - in the air - in space. I tried but could not be sure as to whether he was making progress or not.
   (A) This again, we find, presents that as a lesson to be gained by the entity. This: As has been given, with that closer application of self to the truths that are being gained, there will be presented to the entity those visions, those understandings, that the entity may go far beyond that position as is occupied by many in the present earth plane towards phenomenized force, for, as is seen in this, there is presented to the entity those conditions as have been visioned by the entity in an earth's plane existence, and these are as that the entity may gain the consciousness of the force as is exercising that which will produce those lessons, as have been outlined should be gained by the entity.
   As is seen in the figure bowing under the weight, yet in space, in the cloud, in the sky, the PLACE occupied by THAT FORCE which to the entity is UPWARD. That is, this force manifested in earth plane LIFTS UP, for as we see, "And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me," for "Even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up."
5. We are through for the present.
