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 had on the date which I will give you, and you will give the interpretations and lessons to be gained from each of these, as I read same to you, and will answer any questions which I might ask you relative to any of these.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body-mind here, with the enquiring forces of same, with dreams as come to body from time to time. These, as we see, are again the manifestations of the enquiring forces as are given to the conscious forces from inductive reasoning of subconscious with the body-mind in the sleeping state, and are brought as lessons to the developing forces of the body, that same may act as an experience in the spiritual life of the entity towards the truths and lessons, and are as an illustration from the emblematical forms as presented to the body from time to time, for, as we see in the first presented to the body [see first part of Par. 3-Q below], in the inability to know whether the message was forgotten to be phoned or whether someone that the body should communicate with had not been communicated with, this is only a portion of that presented to the entity, for this portion only represents the physical portion of the inductive reasoning. The intent as is seen in this, the greater lesson being, watch as well as pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The watching, then, being represented rather in that as is not seen in the dream. Watch as well as pray, that the body- mind, the physical forces, do not over-step the mark in a physical action that would bring the disinterested forces into play, as it were, in the life, in the mind development of the entity. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) Friday morning, August 7, 1925, at home in Deal. (This not read: Something about a telephone and someone I should or shouldn't have called up. [See Par. 2 above.]) I sought in dream to get in communication with my father, my spirit guide, so as to gain advice about stocks I had purchased. I saw the ground moving under me, that is the earth, and felt as though I was gaining the communication I was seeking, when something interrupted me, distracted me, and caused the mental connection, so to speak, that I was seeking, to be broken. I became irritated at this interruption and and disappointed at my failure to gain the counsel sought, although so near to gaining it. Words then: "Be quiet. Be patient."
   (A) These, as we see, just the lessons as being pictured to the entity, and the words mean as they are given, in the whole sense. Then the greater lesson from this, when the entity keeps in that way in which the spiritual force and guide of father is necessary, this will be given. Do not force issue, for the assurance has been given the entity that these forces would give that necessary for the entity's understanding as fast as same is made applicable to the usages to which, for which, such information is given, for as has been seen, is being given from time to time, such information as relates to moral, physical, spiritual, inner life's and the usages of same, becomes applicable in market forces, in daily life, in home, with friends, with foe. Then be quiet. Listen, for the voice from within. STAND STILL. SEE THE WORKS OF THE LORD.
4. (Q) "[137], Moe Wallack and myself, drew up before some restaurant. The chauffeur got out and left. I decided my pants had to be changed from my brown sport one to my gray striped knickers. 'You don't need to change,' someone said to me. 'Yes I do to go in there,' I replied. While I was changing, I said, 'Sears Roebuck stock certainly broke down today. Now the rest of the department store and chain store stocks ought to follow. Louis can now sell his Woolworth.' 'I don't agree with you at all,' said Moe Wallack. 'Not at all necessary that they should follow,' [137] said. 'Well,' I continued, 'You fellows can talk but this is no time to buy stocks at the top of the bull market.' [137] seemed irritated, got out of the car and went into what seemed to be the restaurant. Suddenly the car moved slowly forward, as though the brakes were off. I jumped to the front of the car to apply the emergency brake, when I noticed it was not an ordinary machine, but a big square wooden affair and when I looked for the brake I couldn't find it. Moe called for me to put it on and in a panic I searched for it, couldn't find it. The machine hit a wall, started backward. [137] came out of the house and called, 'Put on the brakes.' 'I can't find them,' I replied. Disgusted, he jumped on the board and couldn't find them either, but told me to get out and hold her. I got behind the car and held her but the car started forward, pulling me along. Finally I stopped the car again and it started backward. In the meantime, [137] found a little winding machine. He pulled it out to notch number one, turned the handle. Then he pulled it to notch number two, turned the handle, then to notch number three and turned the handle again. This seemed to regulate the backward and forward movement of the car."
   (A) In this we find many various conditions as regarding the physical conditions the body has sought for the interpretation of in mental, physical and in the subconscious forces. Hence there are seen in the group connection again that relation of the body in relation in physical manner with other individuals whom the entity is in constant trade or action with. These show again in change in physical manner, the represented forces that each hold for the entity under various circumstances and conditions. The seeing in change certain stocks represents certain conditions that have and do exist in these given stocks, as given, with the changes as are seen and viewed by the various numbers present in their various moods, as it were. The seeing of the movement of machine, then, representing the conditions as exist at the present time, being, as it were, something unprecedent in the action of, especially, utility holdings. These, as we see, have been referred to before, especially in connection with the individuals as given. The starting forward representing the condition when this is not in keeping with the ideas of the individual. The finding of the check, as it were, the action of the individual as given towards the condition. The three changes, the three levels to which such stocks will reach forward and backward, before the level or the stocks become at normal figures again. The lesson, rather that of the mental forces to gain the interpretations of conditions as are presented under various planes and various manners, rather than for usage of same in a physical manner.
5. We are through for the present.
