TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [341] of ..., Virginia, 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 each of these, as I read same to you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body-mind and the enquiring mind of the body, [341]. This we have had here before. The dreams, as we see, are the attempts of the cosmic forces of entity to correlate with the mental conditions, and the conditions are presented then in emblematical forms, or in visions of that being studied, contemplated, meted out, through mental forces of entity. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) Night of 25, or morning of 26 of October, 1925. "Dreamed of riding with someone to the top of a high mountain. Then they showed me a beautiful view spread out below. They said something - Recall - "
   (A) This as seen indicates the emblematical conditions being carried in the mental forces of entity and correlated through cosmic conditions that as is the interpretation of the vision or dream seen and experienced. As is seen, to the high mountain is that as the life in its development to those conditions that give the more perfect understanding of the physical world. The view as obtained, being, then, as entity in possession of knowledge to acquire possessions, or to gain those of the proclivities of the physical world in that way and manner in which the world becomes, as it were, the dross to the mental forces of the entity, for as is seen in that as said, "Though beautiful - and one gain the whole world and lose his own soul, what is the gain therein?"
4. (Q) "Dreamed of driving a car down a nice smooth (seemingly oiled) paved road. Saw something in way - don't remember all."
   (A) Correlation of mental forces with desires of a mental mind, see? and as is seen in that of the desires of the mind and body physical, yet with those obstructions as are seen in the obtaining of same, without the full correlation of that necessary to acquire the desired. For as is seen in a correlation of the two dreams as given, one acquiring worldly knowledge, the other acquiring worldly desire. Study well together.
5. (Q) Night of 26, or morning of 27, October, 1925. "Dreamed of being picked up by an elephant. May have been more - Recall - "
   (A) As this is seen, the elephant as represents power, might, cunning, with all the mental proclivities of that gained through knowledge. Then let the entity be picked up by same, studying to show the abilities to use and apply same in the manner as acceptable unto Him, as is seen in the rescue from the elephant by the keeper, see?
6. (Q) Night of 30, or morning of 31 of October. "Seemed to have taken, or perhaps was taking a boat trip with [900]. We stayed at a hotel together. Seemed that later I was telling a group of people about the trip, one of whom was Uncle Tom."
   (A) This, as we see, again correlation of conditions in mental forces and that of the cosmic consciousness, presenting to the entity in that emblematical form those conditions as are being exercised through the body-mind as concerning ways, means, and manner which will carry that necessary for the entity to accede to the desires, the wishes, of the mental forces of entity, as is seen in body of water and in ways to be carried over same, and in the ability to give to others the understanding of the conditions as acquired by this passage over, and this then giving to the entity the understanding, that first gaining that necessary knowledge and association with the oneness of purpose of the magnifying of the name of the giver, the rest in worldly desire, when in accord with His laws, will be added to the entity. "Seek and ye shall find. Knock and it shall be opened unto you," and "If ye love me ye will keep my commandments," and "Whatsoever thou asketh in my name, believing, thou shalt have."
7. (Q) Monday morning, November 2. "Dreamed of being at church in ..., Alabama. An offering was taken and I put a bill in the collection plate. When they counted it, they found that there was a five dollar bill that I thought was mine. I wanted it back. Later I realized that it wasn't mine. In giving the money I was trying to keep up with David P. Seemed that I was helping to get up a large collection. Everyone was giving liberally. During the discussion, the church members began to discuss a young lady I knew. I took up for her and went over to talk to the lady who seemed against her and argued with her."
   (A) This, as we see, is presenting in an emblematical way and manner the conditions as the entity sees in self, and should be studied to that interpretation and example of same to self in the daily life, in the spiritual life, in the physical associations with each and everyone. Not attaining through desire to be equal to any, but obtaining that position by that as is seen in self championing the cause of one whom the entity feels is being abused unjustly. Then, in lowness and in humbleness, and in that fullness of heart, soul, mind and body, approach the various phases of life's avenues of development in the physical plane - see?
