TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the Body and Mind of [900], Room ... of the ... Hotel, New Orleans, La. You will interpret the following dreams, as I ask them, which this body had while in bed at his home, ... Street, Apt. ..., so as to be comprehensible to this mind and give the lesson to be learned from each. The first had during early morning hours of Saturday, February 7th, in which he left his companions to climb a mountain, and after finding two houses, one with wrong people and other closed up, returned to a new road under construction, and there proceeded under hardships, particularly in fear of pursuing robbers.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, and the enquiring mind of this body, with the dream as had on February 7th, that regarding the leaving of the crowd and climbing the mountain. In this we again see the action of the subconscious forces predominating when the consciousness is at obeisance to subconscious forces, and the projection of mental conditions weighed, measured, by those accumulations of subconscious with existent conditions, and this relates to the conditions existent in the normal mind with other normal minds and is that exemplification of those conditions in a manner of an emblematical condition, representing the hardships, the wrong individual, the wrong manner of approach, the fears of the mental nature in the work as is being attempted by the body at the present time, in relating and relation to reaching those planes of attained, and attainment of, knowledge.
3. The lesson as would be gathered from this, rather that of the nature that the body, physically, mentally, should realize that such conditions will arise, mentally; yet to succeed the body must press ever onward, upward, and the new construction may be met with fears, yet gives the open way and a clear understanding of those truths as are gained by the ascending of the mountain.
4. (Q) The second dream during the early morning hours of Wednesday, February 11th, in which his friend, Elliot Sanger, told to body [900] that he ([900]) was supersensitive, particularly in his business relations. In answer to the body's inquiry regarding future business Sanger answered: "Of course, I'll give you business, whether you are with Lauer or independent," and Sanger proved he meant it by giving him a stock order. Explain how the body, [900], is supersensitive. Illustrate in business relations.
   (A) This again we see rather that building of the mental with the subconscious forces, and again a manifestation becoming emblematical in the relation as is given to the body in this dream. This relates, then, to a condition the body, [900], feels that is existent in the inner being, yet with this manifestation shows how the entity, through its own self, will, may, overcome such feelings, as is manifested in the order as given. This in itself then [is] an illustration, in itself, of the body [900] in its relation to those business principles, business conditions, existing in the life.
   The lesson, then, should be again [to] take these manifestations and so use them as to overcome those conditions that are disagreeable to the mind of the associates of the body, [900], and build a better relation to and with those who would associate in business relations with the body. The illustration lies in that presented.
5. (Q) The third dream during early morning hours of Thursday, February 12th, in which body, after numerous dreams which he cannot recall, had following words spoken to him: "Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin." How does this Biblical reference apply to the body [900], in thought, or action? What in this body's life does this warning bear reference to?
   (A) In this, we find again an emblematical condition, relating rather to those other projections that were given the body before this and related to those individuals whom the body in part would have associated with self in work considered. This, as we see, will be given again to this body in a more understandable manner. The words, Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin, becoming dormant in the subconscious forces and awakened when the subconscious would weigh the life, character, intent and purpose of other individuals, becomes predominant in that viewed by the entity, and that also coming to the conscious mind, for this had been in conscious mind, though not conscious of it when the body laid aside consciousness. In this we find again the great truth as was exemplified in this as was given to those when this was first written. Everyone must be measured by that standard, and the body [900] must use that as the measurer of those who would associate self with [900] in the development of forces pertaining to those as through which this was projected to the body, [900]. That is, as this: In the near future, we find (21 or 21st day) there will come those whom the body would in first thought associate with self in more than one class of business relation. Weigh that association by that standard, "Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin."
6. (Q) What is the meaning of these words?
   (A) Thou art weighed in the balance and found wanting. That is, without Mene Mene, meaning God, without God.
7. (Q) Are there any other lessons or instructions for the body [900].
   (A) There are many of the things being soon presented to the body in which the relations as has been given in projections are coming to pass. Watch well and follow close in those in an understanding manner, weighing all well together with what has been given and what has proceeded before.
8. We are through for the present.
