TEXT

1. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, [140]. This we have had here before. Dreams are as those conditions as have been described for this body, and studied and applied in that way and manner may bring to the body consciousness that understanding that gives to the mind peace and quietude that is not experienced by those that do not understand such conditions. Ready for dreams.
2. (Q) Of recent date. A communication with Louis Schoolhouse in which I said: "If you really are Louis Schoolhouse, pull me by the side." I felt myself pulled by the side in no uncertain manner and jumping up screamed in fear.
   (A) Here we have that full demonstration of the action of the subconscious forces when the consciousness is in subjugation or abeyance to the subconscious forces, and the illustration that the subconscious is in such condition - attunement to the cosmic or ethereal plane upon which such a one as Louis Schoolhouse is, and that such communication is of that nature so that, would the body consciousness not so fear - or that condition wherein this condition is out of attunement - the full meaning may be given to the body; that this condition, this communication, this illustration, is NOT to be dreaded, not to be made the whole of the mind's experience; not to be looked upon other than the natural consequences of conditions. For, will this be looked upon in this manner, there may again come to the body such an experience that will satisfy the body of that that the soul of that individual IS as an individual, and conscious of that that is in the material as well as that place, position, condition, occupied by the spirit or soul in the cosmic forces, see? Such an experience may come to the entity, will the entity allow self to be attuned to such conditions. Will fear and the wish NOT to be made aware of such conditions be held in the will of the ENTITY, as the whole, such conditions may not penetrate to the conscious- ness of the body in a way and manner that the physical body may be aware of such conditions. This will occur (should the body so desire) on the evening of 5th or morning of 6th - November.
3. (Q) Night of October 26 or morning of 27. Florence, [137] and I were sleeping in one room - Louis Schoolhouse's body lay dead in his room. His eyes were open and staring at me. [137] rose and went to bathroom. Louis Schoolhouse came over to me beside the bed and hung his head down, his hands and arms limp by his side. Then I tried to talk to Louis, but his only reply was to stare at me in a hopeless manner. I screamed in fright.
   (A) Again we find that same condition in and through the subconscious forces of the body of that position as is occupied by those in the cosmic or etheric or spiritual, or ABSENT from material body (call what one will or may) - that such communications, such desires for the help, assistance or aid, or CALL for help, assistance or aid from that plane is NOT POSSIBLE unless those in the material plane attune themselves to that of the receptive mood. For, as has been given, these are as conditions that may be illustrated by MATERIAL conditions, or of a material nature.
   Material conditions are as patterns of those conditions in the etheric, the cosmic or the spiritual plane. MUSIC, or voice, or speech, may be in the whole of the room - yet, unless such is attuned to the consciousness of individuals present, it may not be heard. That of any condition that prevents the full reception may prevent the consciousness of same, no matter how beautiful the music or the desire of those sending same that it will be heard. Unless one prepares self to receive same and is desirous to receive same, same may not be received. For man was made with that of the power of discrimination, and with the ability to exercise will's forces as to receiving or rejecting all forces as are manifest before men through the spirit of creative forces in the material plane.
   Would the entity, would the body, know whether these be true or not, put self in that ATTUNEMENT on the 5th, with the desire to be made fully aware of the ability of one in the cosmic or etheric plane to make self known, and receive that to self.
4. We are through.
