TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], of Apt. ..., ... St., New York City, and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained from each of these, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions which I shall ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had here before. The dreams, as we see, are the conditions in subconscious, mental, superconscious and cosmic forces, weighed to-gether in such a manner as to give to the body-mind consciousness those of lessons or of visions of conditions, whether in the mental, the superficial, the subconscious or from the cosmic forces, and often are a combination of all, for as has been given, there may be much given as relating to dreams, and especially when one has reached that development such as this entity, and when there is such a message to be given to the peoples, that the living forces as manifest in the physical world may be known of men, through the study of that phenomena as is experienced and known by this entity. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) Wednesday morning, Oct. 28, at home ... Wednesday night while reading Bible: "Saw an old man - or one with iron gray hair walk by me."
   (A) This, as the subconscious and mental, gives to the consciousness that understanding as is seen by the entity, for as to the physical mind, one of ripe years in earth plane, one with mental and physical experiences that have given the physical mind that understanding, that concept, of the physical existences in the plane of those conditions necessary to make knowledge. Such is being acquired by this entity, and in the emblematical form is shown the lesson. Seek then the knowledge of the seer and the sages, that through this entity much may be given to a waiting world.
4. (Q) Thursday Morning, Oct. 29. "Numbers 119."
   (A) This, as we see, the physical mind attempting to gain from the subconscious forces that knowledge of conditions pertaining to that that is paramount in the physical mind. Relating, then, to that condition which will arise, as has been given, regarding prices of stocks - L & N, see? This, as we have seen, will occur when other changes have set in and the combinations begin to break up.
5. (Q) Does this 119 refer to L & N or Southern?
   (A) As given, this will occur as a price of L & N, but as given in those concerning the combinations and changes that will come in the future.
6. (Q) The whole of this dream not remembered by [900]. Recall and interpret. That recalled as follows: "I was married to Miriam Miller and things seemed miserable or wrong. Some certain things seemed unsatisfactory, but it was within myself as well as circumstances."
   (A) The portion not recalled is as this: There was the meeting of a certain board and the entity, with others, especially with one, Wormser, was present. The question as to the relations with an individual was brought up in a manner that entity felt that the reference was to self. Then that remembered brought that to the remembrance, or to the body consciousness, in the form as given, for this then represents in the physical mind a condition not wholly acceptable or pleasing to the entity, as to duty to self and to others. Then the lesson should be, as the warnings have been given to entity that there is the duty to self, to home ties, to that of the social ties, to that of business relations and business social connections, these all must be made into that oneness of purpose; that is, to give best in self to service to each and all of these conditions as they arise, see?
7. (Q) What reference has this in my present life?
   (A) That as given.
8. (Q) Does this indicate just a condition I have overcome - indicating in emblematical form the overcoming in the flesh and the blessings therefrom - or the submission to the flesh test and the dissatisfaction therefrom?
   (A) Rather the combination of each as is given, see? bringing in the mental forces of entity, then, the not entire satisfactory condition, see? yet each duty must be weighed, considered and kept in that ONE PURPOSE manner, service to self, to man, to social ties, to all those conditions as given.
9. (Q) Does it also show me that reason of the phenomenized condition - to strengthen and test the individual portion, that under every condition the Spiritual Power in the portion is used in the manner the Power of the Whole is used? In this do I see my own development?
   (A) In this entity sees own development, with the weaknesses, with the strengths as gained for self and conditions as existent, as given, see?
10. (Q) "I was back in a department store, a clerk behind the counter, even as I was in past days. I waited on people - serving them, but it seemed I was in love with some girl. Some dissatisfaction resulted and I was miserable. Then the Voice: 'Here are you tested as much as anywheres.' Then I felt terrible, as though I had failed in something, in living up to that which was expected of me - that I had retarded - returned to old conditions, instead of living the ideals I had set for myself."
    (A) Rather that in this as the interpretation and lesson: That often the self, mentally, spiritually, physically, should take stock of self, as is seen in department stores run on the correct basis, and that the loves for certain or for particular conditions that exist in the life, whether the mental or the desire of flesh, or of the spiritual forces, all must be weighed well, and as the Voice is given, the test is that entity keeps the standard in that manner that gives the progressive forces to self and abilities to give out in service, as is necessary for advancement in every phase of the phenomenized life, see?
11. (Q) Does this refer to [136] in any way, in my failure to live up to the test in relation to her - that is the test of being in the flesh what God is in the Spiritual, that I may attain that Spiritual condition - and being this in the flesh in every condition of life - every phase?
    (A) This rather that of self than of relations with others, save that as is given, see?
12. (Q) Explain this particular reference of failure to so exemplify the perfection of the Whole in the individual phenomenized form - that is the secret of the whole message - "That The Individual Phenomenized Being, possessing all the Elements of the Whole, shall in phenomenized form manifest the Perfection of the Elemental Whole - thus proving Christ - proving Itself ready for the Work, Power, Action, Peace and Eternal Life One with the Whole - ready for the Kingdom of God." This is the kernel of the whole message of [900] is it not? Where or in what phenomenized relation of life is [900] not measuring up to this test?
    (A) In only that manner as is given, see? All of these, when measured by that as given in the mind of [900] as necessary for the readiness to present that force as draws men closer to the Kingdom, see? Then measure the standard - not measure self by self, but as to the standard set in the ONE as EXEMPLIFIES GOD in the FLESH.
13. (Q) The subconscious - cosmic consciousness - superconsciousness - spiritual forces, which reflect in symbolic form in our physical life. Correct?
    (A) Correct.
14. (Q) Let the light represent the Spiritual, the film the physical faculties of senses (mind), and the moving picture on the screen this physical life - talking, feeling, tasting, thinking, emotion, etc., and one has a good comparison. Changing pictures, but One Fixed Light.
    (A) Correct.
15. (Q) Explain this phenomena shown to [900] objectively and co-relate with Edgar Cayce in psychic state and with dreams and voice heard when asleep by [900].
    (A) As is seen, and as may be given in the physical, as has been explained before. One, Edgar Cayce, working from within, see? [900] working from the objective forces, yet gaining from within the resounding, or the re-projection through voice, through dream, through the co-relation of all of these faculties that are guided by spiritual forces from within, while that as is obtained through Edgar Cayce guided by that from without, through another force than self, see?
16. (Q) "Saw numbers 127 and others higher but can't remember. Recall, interpret, co-relate and explain how they should be used."
    (A) This as already given, relating to the L & N in its advance, and is given that the entity, [900], may begin to understand numbers in their co-relation one with another, see?
17. (Q) Sunday Night, Nov. 1, 1925, at home, while reading Isis Unveiled by H. P. Blavatsky. "Dozing over that part of the book regarding Reincarnation, the following: Saw a book case with a glass door of which the glass was cracked. The Voice: 'We have drapes to cover that here.'"
    (A) This, as we find, the mind of the individual, [900], co-relating with subconscious and with cosmic forces those portions of truths gathered in that just read. This, then, presented as bookcase, as knowledge - covered, see? As conditions show break, the film over same, the presentation of the various conditions, shows how these must be studied by the entity and gained in a way that the entity will bring the perfect understanding to self concerning, relating to, that phase of the conditions not yet understood by many, for this, as we see, turns to the phenomenized conditions as are existent in the earth's plane, and through the study of same will the entity gain the knowledge pertaining to reincarnation and its effect on the lives, on the conditions existent in the earth's plane.
18. (Q) Does this indicate I am to get for myself, from my own experience the knowledge of reincarnation?
    (A) This, as given, the entity will gain this conception for self of the phenomenized forces of reincarnation in the earth's plane.
19. (Q) Is indicated that I should give my version - my own understanding in my own simple way - for altho I understand what is meant, I don't understand the theosophical terminology. Give then simply, in my simple way (use phenomena of gas for example) for all minds to grasp, rather than just student's of theosophy or any one branch of study. Is that what is meant?
    (A) That is what is meant, for as we see, we may use that terminology from gas; from the whole there arises that power, that force, in another form to work wonders in the various mechanical devices made by man, see? Power of an individual object (if choose to be termed so) giving of self in another form, yet that same form. Same may be applicable from the terminology of the electrical unit. As the force and power of the turbine is manifested in its rotation, the same is given off in many channels, for the electrical units, which may be added to or taken from, to give service to man. Or as may be termed in the vegetable kingdom, a grain of wheat is sown. It dies, that the fruit of same may germinate into other fruit, see? The same Spirit - not the same Body, yet with all the potential faculties of reproduction within itself and of the ability to supply food in the same proportion, dependent upon its environment throughout its frutition, same as man, as man passes through one environment gaining that knowledge, that force necessary for the body-mind, the spiritual forces, pertaining to the physical conditions as manifest in same, see? Then the spiritual elements of same gaining in the phenomenized form in a world those things necessary to make the entity One with the Whole, see? All of these, then, may be co-related, may be brought under one head, one phraseology, one terminology, by the mental forces and abilities of [900], and given in the simple form and manner to the public, the world, that they may understand that these forces ever manifest their God's spiritual forces in the world, manifesting through the same entity - spiritually.
20. We are through for the present.
