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 will ask you regarding any of these.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind here, [900]. This we have had here before, and we find there is some improvements in the mental attitude of the body at this time. The dreams, as we see, come to the entity, for these are those impressions to the subconscious forces as received by the intent of the body-mind, with the physical attributes of
3. (Q) Wednesday Morning, Nov. 4, 1925, at home. I seemed to have some physical trouble in the store as regarding my constipation. A tall sales girl was regarding me.
   (A) This, we find, is the combination of the physical conditions in the body, and those of the subconscious as have been viewed in the first portion of this dream [See 900-160], and this is the conscious forces giving that suggestion to the subconscious of the needs of the physical forces of body, see? Then the lesson would be to watch that physical condition more closely, that the system may function nearer the normal, for the best must function through the better physical forces. Do not expend one portion of physical, mental, or spiritual, to the detriment of another portion of body.
4. (Q) Store closed and over at the hotel with [137], I seemed to be having some moral trouble with [137], contrary to the things I wanted to do, talk and think, and especially in front of that disparaging tall saleslady's intent regard.
   (A) This, as we see, still the subconscious forces gaining those impressions from the conscious intent, and these being weighed with same, are given back to the entity in the dream or visions here. As is seen, this relates, then, to those moral conditions as in the normal are not in the confines of the entity's normal self, see? yet these give, as is given, that there is the needs that entity keep that full well-rounded physical, mental and spiritual life, if the best would function through the entity, see? and as is seen in the entity attempting to give the advice to one who, nominally, would not need same, and under the eyes of someone dreaded; the more care entity should take in regarding self's actions, speech, and the actions of self are regarded by others and weighed by that which the entity would give others, see?
5. (Q) Back in Newark, N.J., home from my ... work for the planned small purchase of goods, football game and day at home (Sunday) with my mother and father. Lenard Masius asked me for a couple of football tickets to the coming game Saturday. Of late everyone seems to be doing that - I don't mind, but a few may take advantage. Anyway, I felt that and said: "I just have 6, Lenard, that I ordered a long time ago - 4 I am using and 2 go to [137] and [140]. I am sorry, but maybe I can phone or send up for you."
   (A) In this there still comes that condition as is seen from the first, and in the central portion of this dream or vision. The entity still attaining, in this emblematical condition, way or form, that of the development of self and of the requirements of self, and the requirements of others of the entity, see? for as these are studied in their various forms, and using those illustrations, as it were, to the entity, to make the condition plain, then the entity, through the study of same, gains that necessary insight as to conduct of self towards self and towards others, for as is builded and realized in this, the acquired knowledge, the rest, the home, the enjoyment of those labors as given, enter into the "rest from thy labors, for thou has been faithful over a few, I will make thee ruler over many."
6. (Q) I was dumbfounded and surprised as well as sorry to hear Helene Eisner had been indiscreet with Lenard Masius - her old admirer. Lenard laughingly proved it to me. I said: "O well, maybe it was as much Mark's (her husband's) fault as any. He may not have been true - clever fellow you know."
   (A) Still these same conditions in the various forms and manners, presenting each and every phase, as it were, of life, labor, social and of home. Then the entity sees in same the necessity of the work being manifest in every phase of man's existence. It IS then a LIVING condition EXISTENT in the INDIVIDUAL'S ACTIONS rather than dogma, text or rule, see?
7. (Q) Helene Eisner had a portrait made of herself, but it was so big it would not fit in her front room, where she wanted to hang it. She said it was a wonderful picture, well done, and advised us also to have one made. "Who wants such a big thing," I reasoned, "But it had its points."
   (A) This still the same condition showing in the picture the reflections, then, as are seen in the various manners and ways in the lives, in the hearts, the actions of others - see?
8. (Q) I seemed to be drinking a toast - yet it was not me drinking - I or not I lifted a glass of wine and indicating [136] and also myself said: "Now here is a toast to you! May your natural strength overcome all your pains and physical ailments, and may your inner power and MANLINESS overcome all your nervousness and weaknesses." Now, awake, I say, "May God Grant such a Blessing to Both of Us - to All for that matter," Amen.
   (A) The abilities to acquire, through the oneness of the entire vision and dream, that purpose and fullness of honor to self, in the full purport of the entity's labors with self, making the full, well-rounded life in every manner.
9. We are through for the present.
