GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring
mind of EC, and the dream this body had on the date which
I will give you. You will give the interpretation and
lesson to be gained from same, as I read same to you.
[The dream not read, as he interpreted it without waiting for
it to be read.
Tuesday morning,
10/20/25, at home, "[
900] and I met at the
Sinton Hotel in Cincinnati to discuss the reading we had on
L & N. I told him that this seemed to me should be the best
proof that we had ever had, for in the dream I had seen him
saying it was all wrong about L & N going to 109, for in
fact it was going up instead of down and [
900] said to me,
"my Gosh, Man, why didn't you tell me that at first?" I told
him there was nothing said of this, in the interpretation of
dream. He said, "Well, its done that anyhow. The thing is
now, what are we going to do?" I said, "Well, let's forget
it for a little bit, for there's a studio down here I want to
go and see. I think I'm going to make pictures again, or at
least I want some place where I can piddle around with them."
"Who's going to run the Institute?" he asked. "Well, you
and Gertrude and Miss Gladys can do that. Of course when you
want any readings I'll give them, but you're not going to
do anything except diagnosis, understand that!" Well, the
diagnosis of a man's mind is often times more important than
the diagnosis of a man's physical ills," [
900] replied, "for
when his mind is set at ease, if he is in the correct path,
and that means the correct thing, putting him in the correct
path, the physical naturally responds.
Of course L & N is only going to 25 and then we will see the
reaction but a gradual falling off all the way down, with
the up and down, up and down, up and down, all the way along.
Then you will see there will be plenty of money to do
whatever you want to do, and if you want the studio in the
Institute, why we'll just put in a chair of photography, or
what do you call it? Who do you suppose is the best teacher
for that?" I don't know," I answered, "but I think Johnson
Bransford or Whiteford R. Cole are the best ones I know."
"Who are they?" [
900] asked. "Well, Cole is president of
the N. C. & St. L. R. R., a subsidiary of the L & N., and of
course that would make him more interested, and Bransford is
almost an authority on psychic research, so psychic research
and the railroad running together, I'm sure he'd love to
study the photography of psychic research."
Then [
900] said, "Why Cayce, you're crazy! Nobody wants to
mix up that sort of thing with it! But where do these people
live?" "Both of them live in Nashville, Tenn.," I replied.
Then [
900] said, "Why that's on the L & N, isn't it?" I told
him "Yes," and then we were in Nashville, Tenn., [
900] and I.
Went down to Bransford's office and found Cole sitting there
talking to him. With the introduction, Bransford said to
[
900], "You're the fellow that's been working with Cayce for
a while, aren't you? What do you think of it?" [
900]'s
reply was evasive, by asking Bransford, "Well, I understand
that you and Cole have seen something of the work. What do
you think of it?" Cole's reply was, "I'd like to get mixed
up with this bunch, and as soon as I can get through selling
this L & N at 137, why I'd be ready." [
900] said, "But L & N
is going down instead of up." Cole's reply: "That's where
you're wrong." and Bransford turned to a ticker and L & N
was selling at 122 1/2, and the next report showed 119, the
next 115. [
900] said, spreading his arms, "There you are!
I told you it was going!" when Bransford remarked, "But
what's that got to do with Cayce and the picture business?"
Then we all left Nashville, going to Atlanta, and from
Atlanta to Roanoke, Va. At Roanoke we met Dr. E. B. Cayce,
who lives in Nashville. He was there with his son, whom
he had at Johns-Hopkins, Bransford having wired him without
our knowing it that we were coming that way.
Dr. Cayce immediately insisted that I give a reading for his
son. [
900] asked him, "Well, who'll write it down?" Cole
said he would write it, at least he could write it in
telegraphic symbols. As he started to writing, his pencil
began to give quotations on L & N., and he remarked to [
900],
"The bottom has certainly fallen out of L & N, and I believe
you're right about it going to 109. If it doesn't go a whole
lot lower, it'll be surprising to me," when Dr. Cayce said,
"Why this is not a Stock Exchange! I want to know about my
boy!" Cole's reply was, "Man you're losing a fortune, for
you know your money is with mine and Bransford's, and we're
long on L & N at 124 7/8, and it's selling now at 114. What
I want is Cayce to give us a reading and tell us what it's
going to do. Can't he do that?" Dr. Cayce replied, "Not
while he's giving one on my boy, for I don't want my son to
be a stockbroker."
So they had to send, then, for GC and GD, whom [
900] went
out and brought in to take the reading. [
900] insisted,
though, on his conducting the reading. I could see the
whole body of the boy but on each bone in the body I could
see different numbers - 119, 116, 120 - 121 - 114 and 111.
As I begun to call these numbers out, Cole said to Bransford:
"By Gosh! He's certainly mixing a physical diagnosis with a
stock reading, for that's what L & N is doing right now."
Dr. Cayce replied, "Well, I know what's the matter with my
boy, he's got a pin stuck in the hip joint. That's what that
shadow meant in the X-ray. I'll get that out, then we'll all
go down to the studio and make a picture of us all to-gether,
for I certainly want to keep this." And that's where I woke
up!]
EC: Yes, we have the body, the mind, the enquiring mind,
this body here. We have had this before.
The dreams as come to the body, we find, are the correlation
of physical conditions existent in the physical world, with
those views of cosmic forces that are being made in the
physical world and become correlated with time as known from
the physical condition. Also those relations to the cosmic
and Universal Forces as are being studied in the mental
world.
In the dream here, we find the bodies of [
900] with EC in
that mental arrangement of words and places, correlated with
those conditions as relate to the physical conditions now
existent, in which each in the mental and financial manner,
are so interested and upon which rests much of the mental
development (body-mind) to each of the entities.
The place, the conversation then, relates to that condition
in which each are interested. The talk concerning same, the
prices as shown in relation to the stock, shows that
correlating of all conditions that have been given to each of
these bodies, mentally and psychically, and in the mental
manner as pertaining to same, see? and the bringing in of
other individuals who are supposedly in the material way
criterions, or that position to know the conditions existent
in a physical world pertaining to such stocks, bonds, and
their relation to the prices on same, is seen that condition
bringing about that.
At the present, there is being brought, then much to bear in
the heavyweights (as it would be termed from Wall Street
parlance), to bear on that particular stock, see? and this
has brought the price high, yet the conditions as have been
given, as have been seen, will come, for the reaction will
soon set in, though as is seen from information handed out
by the individual who should know the relations of such
conditions, that he, individually, with associates, buying
for the higher price, and as has been given, it will go to
an exceedingly high price; then the breaks will come, see, as
have been given, and as seen in the numbers, and the numbers
showing their correlation with the condition existent, with
the names of each individual.
As is seen in change from one city to another, both as
central points of that commodity as is being (body-mind)
studied thoroughly by the two entities, this shows how the
physical relations bear upon the cosmic forces and bring into
that relation those who should be in the position to give
that information from an outside viewpoint related to same.
Their information as is given, their action regarding same as
given, shows the great variations that are occurring, and as
is seen from the first discussion, this will cause some
worry, some trouble; yet all these conditions, as have been
given, will come to pass.
As is seen again in the trip from the city to others, to meet
a physician, as related to then the physical conditions, see?
these bring about, through emblematical forms, the various
conditions as exist in the mental mind of each individual.
As is seen, the constant referring to photography, pictures,
this rather the picturalization to each individual the
conditions as existent in the minds, mentally, in the inmost
forces, subconscious or cosmic, the conditions being
manifested through each, as is seen and exemplified or
manifested in the material world, see?
The numbers then again, as is seen on the bones in the body,
shows that close relation of each and every force as is given
in the whole Oneness of the Being to those conditions as
pertain one to each other. For, as has been given, through
this source there may be made that which financially would
supply the means for building the Institution, wherein the
greater truths might be given to those who would seek to know
of Him that manifests before men, if they will but put
themselves in that attitude that they become a listener for
that still small voice that speaks from within. For as has
been given by Him of all knowledge, "Even the hairs of your
head are numbered unto Him who caused same to grow," see?
All conditions, then, as pertain to all these relations
between each, and through these forces much may be gained for
the good of all. Well that as soon as is possible through
practical physical conditions, that a coalition be made of
interests between [
900], Whiteford R. Cole and Johnson
Bransford, see? For their interests maybe made much
financially, mentally and spiritually.
As to those relations as come by that being brought from
other's inability to write numbers, and calling on those
through whom such is known to come, this brings that of the
Oneness of purpose, for on him whom there is known to be
truth and reliance placed, hold thereto. Change not to the
new from the old, until tried and true.
Then as the lessons as may be gained by the mind of Edgar
Cayce, as this: Follow in that way in which there is the
more perfect understanding, giving all truth, and withholding
nothing from those who seek to know His Way. For in the
physical relations, whether of stocks, of bonds, of lands,
of silver, of gold, of physical forces, of those conditions
as relate to the mental mind, the bone structure of body,
the mental condition apparent, all are of the ONE PURPOSE OF
GOD to manifest before men, if they will but make their will
One with HIS.
