GC: You will have before you the dream had by [
900],
... Street, New York City, N.Y., in the early morning hours
of Sunday, March 22, 1925, expressed by himself as follows:
"First, my Father seemed to be in the background and all of
us were down South in winter time. There was [
137], [
140],
myself and [
4167] in our party and we were in one room of a
house, and the ocean seemed to be outside. In another room,
very large, from which we were separated by heavy closed
curtains, two of my old girl friends were giving a big dance.
I wondered at not being invited and thought about their
party. Then the hotel manager came thru and I said to him,
'It's pretty hot here in the summer time, isn't it?' He
answered, 'Yes.' Then I thought of my Father and wrote him
a letter, telling him of our good times and hoped he would
approve, yet I was afraid he would not. Then it seemed we
returned home to my father and secured his permission to
return to the resort. This time it seemed the seashore,
and we had two houses, one down South, the original, and one
it seemed in New Jersey, where we plan to take a house.
Again I wasn't sure of my Father's approval, and he always
seemed in the background trying to show me things not to do.
We had a big party and invited [
137] and [
140] and [
4167]
and others, but at another table next to us was another big
party similar to those who had given the dance. We heard
them singing in unison. Somehow, I was not happy. The
relations between my brother and myself didn't seem the
best. My Father seemed in background of my mind again, and
I left the party to go down the beach to gaze at the sea.
It fascinated me, attracted me, seemed majestic in its power
and magnitude, and beautiful in the evening light. Yet even
here with Father's help, I seemed to have some power,
something I was struggling for, yet just missed achieving.
I returned to party and a waiter came and paged [
4167]; when
he returned he told us he was wanted home, but he stayed
with us anyway. Then I saw [
137] sitting at the opposite
side of the table and he was perspiring. I went over and
sat next to him and he leaned against me and told me he was
'tight'. 'I might just as well get happy', he said, and I
replied that we had better write Dad to see if he approved
our staying any more. One of the party at the next table
came up half tight and shook hands with [
137] and said he
knew him from University of Penn. [
137] seemed to recognize
him but not be overjoyed. We were then home again in N.Y.
and planning to go to seashore again. My Uncle Saul, who
was my father's brother, and is now also dead, called up and
asked how we were going down, by car or by train, and when
and what time. We all went down, my Dad in the background
and I not sure of his approval. This time I seemed to go to
the other house a lot, sometimes I would go right along the
beach via a short cut, and other times would go back thru
the house and go a long ways thru the country. That is,
there might have been three houses, two near to each other
at the seashore, one belonging to [
137] and [
140], and one
to me, and the third house down South. To [
137]'s house I'd
go right along the beach, but it was a long trip thru
country to third house. It was evening again, by the
glorious sea I loved so much. I wanted to go down the beach
to the neighboring house, but someone told me I couldn't, as
a man (it may have been my Father's life enemy, my Uncle
Saul) was driving a line in the sand with a stick and it
seemed I could wander anywheres on the beach in my own
province, but dare not step over that line. I wandered,
enjoyed myself, yet was angry with [
137] and [
140], or the
person who made that line. Next morning I took the long
trip back thru the country and came to the house, passed
thru the kitchen, where there were some people. Here my
Father again was in background. In the evening they, [
137]
and [
140], were giving a party - it seemed a farewell party,
for we were to return home and I was sort of happy, as I
felt my Dad wanted (my Dad seemed to be living home in New
York at work), us home again. We had the party right near
the ocean and it was wonderful. Yet that line of separation
rankled in me. Then we heard and saw some fireworks. It
seemed we had brought them, or that I had been the means of
getting them to the place but Herbert Son has gotten
possession of them and was firing them off. At first I
wondered why he got such credit, then the thought of my
Father came to me and I seemed to come very close the
fireworks and the sea. There were sky rockets and Roman
candles and I could just see the sparks in the sky close at
hand. The sky was blue, the sparks high and brilliant, and
Dad was there in the background as in the beginning. Please
explain what each of the emblematical expressions represent,
and what they should mean to me. Also what it is I am
doing, have done, or may do that my Father and Guide was
trying to warn me or guard me against. What is it, in
relation to events that have happened in my life, are
happening and may or will happen, that he is urging me to
do? Has it to do with his enmity to my Uncle in his life
time as exemplified in that I should not let same occur to
[
137] and I, and that recent thoughts of mine and events
might lead that way? Has the house [
137] and [
140], and
the house Mother, I, and [
136] plan to take at the
seashore this summer, and our relation to each other, those
in [
137]'s house and those in ours, anything to do with this?
Is the Guide my Father warning me against that house or
against something that might arise by my own actions in
relation to our residences this summer?"
You will give the interpretation and lessons to be gained
from this in a detailed, clear and explicit manner,
understandable to the mind of [
900].
EC: Yes, we have the dream here, as has had by [
900], and
in same we see the exemplification in the conditions as are
presented as passing through the mental forces of the body,
[
900], with the Guide, the Father, constantly in the
background and guiding, guarding, directing in so far as
the mental forces of [
900] permits to guide and direct such
urges, inclinations and conditions as are shown.
In this, we find the houses, homes, places, representing the
abode, the indwelling of the individuals as are seen in the
dream. The actions representing those mental conditions as
come to each of the individuals seen in dream.
As in the dance, the girls, the room, the close connection,
that portion of mentality, not as a condition to be wary
against, yet as one that may not be understood by others,
as is seen by the manager passing through to reprimand in
a manner the conditions being carried on.
In the various positions of the dwellings, or homes, we find
the various conditions as are represented in the dwelling of
the mental forces of each entity considered in the dream.
The relations toward each, that condition that may become a
separation of the line were those elements of the mental
carried in the attitude of the Uncle, yet with the Father's
ever watchful care, in the mental forces ever seeking that
care, we find each and every condition becomes simplified,
and the conditions and relations as regarding the life of
each entity becomes simplified, understood, capable of
bringing the better elements to each and everyone.
The separate house or abode in the South representing that
work that would in the summer represent the interests as are
to be manifested in the mind of the mental forces of those
connected with same in Institute Work. The line,
demarcation, that element of injustice as would be set by
following the mind of the Uncle. The Father we find in that
manner presenting and showing the good that comes to the
entity through following out such work; while the way as is
through country and rough, representing the line of the
trials through which the mental forces of body would pass in
attempting to follow out such suggestion, yet we find all
bringing the better care, attention, the better
satisfaction, in the mind of each and everyone concerned.
Hence the entity should carry out those lessons as would be
gained from this condition. This representing also the care
that should be kept in how that each, [
137], [
900], [
140],
[
106], [
4167] (the father shows who are about the
individuals), depend one upon the other.
As is seen in the recall of [
4167], this representing some
condition that has been placed into the hands of the entity
which will find a recall through same that will bring better
understanding of some other conditions to the body, [
900].
Then, in the lesson that is to be gained from this, the
better is shown in the beauty, the quiet, the magnanimous
mind acting in the words of the sea, the future, as it
represents, taking hold of all the great conditions that
enter in, whether of mental, spiritual, physical or moral
welfare. Following, then, close in that manner in which
the Guide, the Father, will bring to the body, [
900], the
greater understanding of each and every condition as will be
placed in the life, whether of self, of others, of pertaining
to the own moral life, of the own financial life, of the own
home life, of the own social life, or the own exemplification
of the higher ideals as are obtained in the study of the
Universal Forces, as represented by the sea, the sun, the
twilight, the moon's forces, and all of the beauty in
nature.
Then keep in that way and manner, presenting self in all ways
the correct channel, wherein there may be the closer
communion between the good as is presented in the one-ness
of Universal Forces manifested in a physical world.
As is shown in that manner in which Son took possession of
that prepared for the hurrah as might be made in the place,
this representing how that others may gain, others may have
the glory in a physical manner, yet the ever present
preparation as is prepared in self, in the secret, quiet
moments represents that necessary for the waiting world.
We are through.
