(Q) Mildred [Davis] came to breakfast, fussing because
everyone was bothering her, and said she was going to fight
them. I reached over to fight with her. As I touched her I
realized she had on a new coat suit, reddish brown checked,
and real shiny. I wondered if the place where I touched her
would make a spot, or show.
(A) This, again, a dream of that which brings for the entity
those emblematical conditions as respecting the lives, or the
activities, of individuals associated in the activities of
the material, or the mental, or the spiritual forces in the
lives of each. As indicated, there were those entanglements
of the mental nature as respecting the attitude of
individuals, and the attempt of self to quiet same by the
touch must bring the understanding, that the very nature - or
the thoughts and the activities of the one, must be altered
or changed, as indicated in the character, color, type,
shade, of that which clothes the body. In the indications,
then, as seen, that there REMAINED WITH the body in its
activity as to whether this affected directly, or would make
indications to the minds or the visions of others as to the
change as would become apparent by the meeting, or
contacting, of the ideas of individuals as respecting the
condition or association. Then, as the lesson that may be
gained: That in the activities of each, let these be in
order with that as is seen, understood, gained, that there
may be the more of peace, harmony, understanding, and the
relationships of all in that conformity to the interests of
each, as indicated by the variations as were indicated by
that expressed by those seen - See?
(Q) Sun. morning, Feb. 14, 1932 - I was being initiated into
something. There was a crowd of people around me, and they
were GREEN - like frogs standing up.
(A) This rather that of the vision, or the initiation of the
body into those relationships of the spiritual, or the forces
as innate in the activities of the sources of information; so
that, as the lesson as is seen: That there be that care,
that injunction, ever, that that as may be obtained may be of
that nature as is conformative to the use of individuals in
their respective spheres, rather than that as given to those
of the lacking of understanding that would make dross, as
seen by that visioned in the experience.
(Q) Thurs. morning, Feb. 18, 1932 - I visioned God, and He
promised that He wouldn't turn His face away.
(A) A vision, not a dream - and the promise is, as of old -
while the body itself going through that period of
transition, in the material sense - this, as was given, "If
ye will be my people, I will be your God."
(Q) Sun. afternoon
2/21/32, while giving group reading
262-12 - I saw Jesus giving the message, and His face changed
in appearance as He gave it to each one.
(A) A vision of the source from which the information as
received came to each individual, even as that sought was of
- or conforming with - or of self's interest, rather than of
universal use - acted upon the countenances of the Messenger,
so does that as received act upon the individuals as received
same. If there is the comparison of that received by each at
that period, with the life and the inner activities of each,
these will be found to be conforming or non-conformative to
those tenets, those lessons, as given by Him.
(Q) Feb. 22, 1932. About blowing away Pelley and his
machinery, when he accused me of practicing black magic.
[William Dudley Pelley]
(A) This, as seen, is only a portion of that visioned.
While there are those activities in a material world of those
forces as emanate from spiritual sources, there may oft be
seen contentions as to who occupies the greater place in the
scheme of the developing of such forces in a material world.
As visioned in this, these - then - are as of that one that
would adhere the nearer to those promises as made by Him that
gave, "I am with you always, even unto the END of the world!
IF ye love me, KEEP my commandments, and I will abide WITH
thee! Be not afraid, for I will not LEAVE thee comfortless,"
and this - though it may pass through all forms of contention
and distress from the physical or material view - remains in
the hearts and minds, and LIVES of individuals, and must make
those alterations, even as seen. Be SURE that thou followest
is of HIS understanding, HIS direction. DEPEND upon HIS
presence, HIS activities; remembering, when asked to rebuke
those who gathered not with Him, He railed not, but "He that
gatherest not with us may still be OF us, yet not of this
present fold. Not that which goeth in defileth; rather that
which cometh out!"
(Q) Morning of March 8, 1932, while giving reading [2095-1]:
Saw this house all fixed up, and our home on the corner next
to it. Hugh Lynn and Mildred had a printing press back in
their office, and the whole building was enlarged and
everything running like clockwork.
(A) The breaking up!
(Q) Please explain, as we do not understand, what is meant
by breaking up.
(A) As is visioned, there were those enlargements upon the
surroundings, which indicates that the breaking up must come
that enlargements must ensue, even as that He passed through
DEATH that He might BE the Savior and Lord of all!
(Q) Does that refer to the present necessity of moving
again?
(A) Refers to present conditions.
(Q) Please advise us regarding this.
(A) As given, step by step, make the moves that are
necessary, and in faith believing that "All things work
together for good to those that LOVE His coming." More too
often is it interpreted "love the Lord". But His COMING, for
His promise was that "I will NOT leave thee comfortless, but
will COME to thee." [See
294-137.
5/30/32 EC & family moved
into the Arctic Crescent home at 14th St.]
(Q) Last part of March, 1932 - Saw a little mound of dead
leaves. As I looked it began to move off. I thought there
must be a snake under it. I picked up a stick and went
towards it. By that time the mound was on the side of an
embankment, almost on the edge, and the snake poked his head
out and said, "Don't hit me - and I won't bother you any
more."
(A) As is visioned in the dream, the position of the body
and the acts at the time indicated the clearing of the system
of those things that are vile, or as ejections of drosses
from body, so that as visioned at or through those periods,
that seemed to indicate through the activities of others -
that are indicated by the mound, or prominence as in front of
body - WITH this arising will come OUT of same that as
indicated by the serpent, which indicates the wisdom of ALL
things being known to others as pertain to their proper
relationships and understandings, and while temptations arise
- as through the serpent - with the use of the rod, or staff,
as is of life, as is represented by those that are, or were,
the leaders in each dispensation, of activity, may be used in
love and truth, budding to like itself, as in the hands of
many. So may it make for the overcoming of that which would
hinder, or injure in any way, and bring about that peace as
sought by the tempter in the vision.
(Q) Thurs. morning, March 10, 1932 - We were wading in
water, Miss Gladys, Mildred and I. I stepped in a place over
my head, and I yelled for Miss Gladys and Mildred. Miss
Gladys ran for help and Mildred came after me. I got hold of
her feet but couldn't get up to save my life. Mildred said,
"Can't you climb up?" I said, "No!" She said, "Well, pull
me down." I woke up.
(A) This as the vision of those forces as may manifest in
individuals. As indicated, water - as that which is as a
source of life and understanding. In the activities in same,
let each action be in the way and the manner as brings for
the proper understanding without wading into depths that may
bring those things that would be hard to overcome, without
calling for aid; yet, as visioned in this, that with the
proper understanding of same, each as visioned may aid the
other in the proper understanding of the experiences of life
AND light, that they BRING the better understanding to all.
This as is seen is only a portion, for with the climbing up,
through the source of aid brought to all as they came to that
of seeming rescue, the better understanding and knowledge of
the truth, of the light as obtained through the activities of
all, as visioned. Hence, as seen, in the action of these
together, in their concerted efforts of meditation and prayer
for others, there may come much that will be of aid to many
in THEIR respective positions or spheres. Good dream - see?
(Q) Saw Dr. & Mrs. Brown [William Moseley Brown of defunct
Atlantic University] camping. They seemed to be enjoying
themselves. Dr. Brown was playing with the children.
Mrs. Brown told Miss Gladys and Mildred that it was the first
time he had had time to really make pals of his boys, and
that they were very happy on this camping trip.
(A) That as of a warning of their ejection from their
present surroundings, yet as visioned - in the joy that came
to each, through the change necessitated by the activities of
others - will bring better understanding to those interested
in same.
(Q) While meditating in afternoon, the same exuberant
feeling came over me that used to years ago, but which had
been lost to me for twenty-five years.
(A) An experience of the inner self awakening to those
potential forces as may be the more active in the body as
developments come, in those of the meditations, with those
active forces around or about same. As has been given, there
shall be in the latter days, "Your young men shall dream
dreams, your old men shall see visions, your maidens shall
prophesy." These are coming to pass, with the upheavals as
are just before the world in MANY a quarter!
(Q) While in church, the words in the song book spoke to me
and danced right before my eyes. The words "My grace is
sufficient for thee" seemed to be impressed upon me.
(A) An EXPERIENCE of that, "MY words shall GO before you, if
ye will seek me while I may be found!"
(Q) Any message or counsel for the body at this time?
(A) Be ye faithful; even as ye would have mercy show mercy;
as ye would have peace give peace; as ye would have patience
shown be patient with others; for only in the attributes OF
the living forces of God may ye FIND God; NOT in the MATERIAL
things that make of earth-earthy gratifications!
We are through.
