(Q) Morning of October 23, 1925, at home. "Dreamed of
preparing to make a speech before a large audience. It
seemed to be a debate, and at first James [...] seemed to be
the one who was my colleague. Later it seemed that Josephine
[...] (a girl I know in Kentucky) gave me a note to give to
[
1005], who was in a room back of the platform and who seemed
to be the one who was to help me make the address. I felt
greatly disturbed about making this address, and on going out
before the audience (saw all the audience spread out before
me), I met my father and asked me if I didn't want him to
hold my speech and prompt me while I made the speech. I
replied that I had better keep the speech up there with me
where I might read it if I needed it. Saw medals on board on
stage. On opening what I thought to be my speech, I found it
to be only some sheets of blank paper. I rushed up to the
judge and told him that I couldn't make the speech unless I
had it all written out. He told me I must make it anyway."
(A) In this we find the mental-mind presenting, through this
emblematical condition, those forces in the mental-mind that
are attempting the solutions that become necessities to the
mental forces of the entity.
In speechmaking the entity sees, realizes, that condition
that the body, physically, mentally, morally, is presenting
to the world. The seeing of the various ones presents to the
mind, the body, that concept, that change, that relation, the
various individuals of different characteristics, of
different environments, have upon the life in all its phases.
The seeking of one to prompt the entity indicates those who
would help or assist the entity in gaining that necessary for
the success in life's ways. The refusal of same shows the
dependence the entity gives in its own abilities. With the
seeing of the open sheet presenting not that which the entity
expects to do, to give, but blank, presenting that force
that entity finds without the aid of those elements
necessary to give the ways in life's pathway that confront
the entity and from which these forces, these visions, are
given for assistance.
The cry of the judge, the seeing of the medals, the awards,
shows to the entity that necessity of being prepared. As has
been given and as has been instilled into the mind forces the
necessity of preparation for any force whatever that may be
presented into the life of the individual, that necessity of
being prepared to meet the conditions, mentally, morally, and
in that oneness of spirit with Him who is the giver of all
good and perfect gifts. For when that oneness is made, the
entity sees, though same may be a blank in the eyes of
others, through His strength, through His assistance, all
becomes in that way and manner the success. Then heed it.
(Q) "I dreamed of being at a party or dance and of meeting
there a girl, whom I've met, a Miss [...], and with her a boy
I've heard her speak of as George. Later it seemed that she
was crying, saying that George wouldn't dance with her and
was acting curiously, and she wanted to go home. It seemed
that I assisted her in some way. I don't remember whether I
danced with her or took her home, one or the other."
(A) Again in this we see presented to the entity that
satisfaction as is seen in service to others, for though
those whom the entity may contact are of the casual
acquaintance, or only known by name, the service, even as the
Master gives, brings that understanding, that feeling of
satisfaction to the entity, to the Whole, that nothing else
gives. Service - Service -
We are through with this reading.
