(Q) During October. Was making a trip in car to some place
unknown. Stopped by home in city where on leaving helped a
man in a fight. Later I stopped in a little store and bought
a large amount of fireworks for [
487]. Had seen the same
store before kept by a little old lady - in a dream. Still
later I met David who asked me about school and told me about
himself. Seemed the family were making above trip.
(A) Here we find the mental body, as it were, giving -
through these various experiences - that of a lesson to the
mental consciousness of the entity, and they each come as the
warnings of the changes in the conditions of the life, or in
the various elements that enter to bring about changes. All
as warnings. Keep then in that way that these, coming in the
various conditions, may bring the better understanding to the
body of these forces.
In the first seen trip and home changed. Next seen as
assisting in fight. These signifying in themselves the
changes in the attitude of the mental consciousness towards
these variations in the life, as the mental change.
In the fire and the store, and the body seen, these giving
that change in attitude towards the various elements in the
mental way and manner. In all this as the lesson:
Keep self rather in that oneness of purpose as the various
changing elements present themselves in the mental forces of
the body, that the whole may be the well rounded foursquare
man, in that one portion of the life is tied with the other,
and that none may be made as an exception without detriment
to the other.
(Q) Night of November 1 or October 31. Family aiding
someone to escape in a car from prison. Left car and walked
for miles and miles through prison camp. Many men and women
working the roads along which we passed. Dad, Muddie,
someone else and myself. I was helping Mama over rough
places. Finally came to summer camp where roads crossed -
stayed here for a time.
(A) Again the same elements being presented in the various
form, or a varied form, from that same condition as has been
viewed, signifying the change, or the escape, as it were,
from those various conditions that have brought such
impelling forces in the life, through the laxness of self's
centered in one direction, and in the change find, as is
given, that these varied conditions, these conditions
bringing doubt, lack of understanding, miscomprehension,
inability to be perfectly compatible with elements,
conditions, are the fruits or the children of indecision.
Make then the ideal and hold self towards that one.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS
11/10/27 "My dreams fitted very well, too well in fact.
Sure, I understood them. I am running loose in a sea of
thought, not forgetting the foundation on which I am standing
but neglecting it. Nothing serious, just a relaxing of the
wrong kind. I have somewhat neglected my work, as my grades
will show soon. Again nothing serious, I hope. I have
neglected to continue to think in a straight line, as the
dreams indicated, since out from under the thoughts and ideas
that held me so close, so straight, I have found it easy to
give way to the physical. The trouble was that I knew and
did not care to think about it - a sad state, very...a mental
state from which I needed arousing."
