TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900] of ... Road, Deal, N.J., and the dreams this body has had on the dates that I will give you. You will give the interpretations and the lessons that are to be gained from each of these, as I read them to you and will answer such questions regarding any or all of these that I may ask you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, the mind of same, with dreams and visions as have come to this body from time to time. These, as we find, are the manifestations of those lessons as are being gained by the body-mind, of the study that the body is making at the present time, and their various interpretations and the visions, with the emblematical manner, that are being presented to the body, we find are the manifestations in a way that the entity may gain the emblematical manner of presenting same and of viewing same from the various aspects of life as are experienced from time to time in these various dreams.
3. (Q) July 8, 1925. "Saw my father packing his grip. He said, 'I'm going home to Ma...' Forgot the rest of this vision. Recall it to me and give interpretation and lesson."
   (A) With the dissatisfaction as was shown in the actions of the entity, himself, toward that advice being given by the father, causes, as the body will remember, the expression as is brought to the conciousness, "I am going home to Ma." This, as we see, again the spirit forces of the entity warning the body of the advice and counsel of the mother and same shall be acceptable unto the higher forces that guide the entity in the physical effects and affairs of the daily life. Heed them more, be guided by them, in sincerity and in truth, following and keeping in the way that will draw the forces nearer and nearer to this body, [900].
4. (Q) Does this in any way indicate my loss of spiritual guide of my father? (If yes, then why?)
   (A) Does not indicate any loss of the spiritual forces being made manifest in the life of [900]. Rather the warning to heed them more.
5. (Q) "Saw [137] and said, 'I told [137] to take a vacation.'"
   (A) Again we return to those elements of the force in conciousness applying same toward self in subconscious reaction. The effect, as it were, of conscious thought made plain in dream or vision force, for we find the conversation leading to same and the inner thought being in the direction of whether at present or future this should be taken, and the net results from same both physical and mental. The lesson, rather than of seeing an application of physical thought taking effect upon the subconscious force of the body when consciousness has been laid aside, showing how the inner forces, soul or spirit (soul being of physical, or the self, the individual, the I AM of the individual) feeds upon that which it receives from conscious thought or body, mind. Hence we see how mind becomes the builder.
6. (Q) July 9, 1925. "It seemed I received a reading from Cayce, and my Aunt [144], widow of my dead uncle (father's brother) came in and heard of it. She laughed at me, making fun of me, mocking me and ridiculing me. My brother [137] then entered with my cousin Joseph, the latter my Aunt [144]'s and Uncle Sol's son, and they were friends and went off to-gether. (In reality these two are not and have not been friends.) My mother stayed in the background. Finally, my Uncle Sol (now dead) entered and sat down just as he used to when in the physical, his stick between his legs, and with a tactful manner and magnetic look or personality, but with a peculiar squint of the eye that seemed to impress me of insincerity, envy, and none to kindly thoughts - yet who am I to judge?"
   (A) This again a co-relation [corelation] of conditions as pass through the mind of the individual in the study of the phenomena as are being presented from time to time to the individual, [900], and as lessons and the truths are gathered, as is seen from time to time from those expressions as are given to the body, the effects upon those who have not made a study of same are made apparent in the emblematical form of those whom were close, or should be near and dear to the individual, in manner of life, in manner of thought, in manner of action. They presenting ridicule, they presenting fault finding, they presenting conditions that bring a manner of distress or of doubt to the mind, the action of same showing the good as is brought to others in an unknown, as it were, manner, making closer unions with those that have not shown same, keeping the one nearest and dearest, as it were, in the background of same, yet we find, as the answer comes in the individual, "Who am I to judge?" Hence we find the study of the phenomena brings the broader vision, the better understanding of things secular, of things physical, of things mental, of things spiritual. Hence the broadening of the individual, for the real self is the spiritual, plus the soul of the individual, plus the environments about and through and from which the soul feeds upon, as it makes of itself that channel of the manifestation of the spiritual forces that may be made known through same. As to how the abilities as to what the entity may be able to manifest, being then the abilities of that inner self, that individuality, that soul, that environment of same is able to make sound forth, shine from, respond to, the spiritual God force manifest in each individual.
7. (Q) "I was going to school to Townsend Harris High School. Why was I going there? Well, I couldn't go to private school. All my present acquaintances of wealth were there and they would know I had been to college and was going back to High School, so in order to do this I had to hide myself, so to speak, in the unknown crowd that goes to Townsend Harris Hall, where it costs nothing."
   (A) Again these same elements and conditions as are presented in the first, being made manifest through the various manifestations in dream that come to the consciousness of the individual. As is seen in the attempt to hide self, the awakening of that element in self making self different, separating self from others. Ashamed, as it were, or being made ashamed by the comments of others, or afraid of comments of same. These show how that the developing comes, yet that as is felt in the entity itself, the necessity of gaining that knowledge necessary that may give to self the better understanding, the better ability to manifest the best that is within self.
8. (Q) Friday Morning, July 10, 1925. "Saw a cake, like a birthday cake, with lighted candles."
   (A) This, we see, is an omen of distressing forces that is to present to the body through that of aggrandizement of appetite within self. Beware of trouble from stomach from same, for as the enlightening forces come from these, these as the conditions that may be met and prepared against within the appetite of the individuals itself. Beware of too much sweets. Beware of too much aggrandizement of the appetite in self.
9. (Q) Monday Morning, July 13. "I dreamed of the spirit force or psychic force, then awakened. Went back to sleep and dreamed, or had a vision of an example of, or demonstration of that force. Can't remember the first part exactly. You will recall it to me. Second part, saw [137], my brother, crying, and I put my arm over his shoulder. 'That is the operation of the force,' I said, and [137] reiterated, 'That operation of the force - North American Stock' and as he mentioned the name of the stock, he cried more bitterly."
   (A) The forces as are made manifest, we see, in these are again the reiteration of those elements as are given, that are entering in the conscious and subconscious mental forces of the entity, [900]. As is seen in this, the thought, the study of the psychic or superconscious or subconscious forces are brought in the subconscious attempts to co-relate [correlate] same, and through same brings these manifestations of same to the entity. As is seen in the first portion, and as has escaped, is as this: The phenomena in action is the real psychic force. That is, as is brought then to the mind in action a physical condition showing condolence offered to those whom weep, and then the force as is an injunction given, "Weep with those who weep, rejoice with those that do rejoice." The action of the forces necessary to be able to weep with those who weep and rejoice with those that rejoice, that force in operation. As is shown by the mention of particular stock, this showing rather how forces may be applicable either to material or spiritual forces, rather than having any particular thing to do with individuals' stock and their prices. For, as is shown in this, with the mention of particular stock, more weeping; yet in same is made manifest the operation of that force, that the entity desires to see, to know, the operation of. It is, we see, of elemental conditions. Conditions exist. We see their operation but not that itself. As "The wind bloweth where it listeth. Thou heareth the sound thereof, but no man knoweth from whence it cometh nor whither it goeth." Now, those elemental conditions producing same may be made manifest. Those conditions that operate same only see the effects of same. Same as may be seen in these, and in the vision as is seen here, that the elemental forces of same are in operation. We see their effects in the daily lives of those whom are affected by same, whether of material, of mental, or spiritual.
10. We are through.
