(Q) Two moving picture theatres appeared - one a large
theatre on one side of the street, another a smaller house
on the other side of the street. Right next to the latter
theatre a new and still smaller theatre had recently been
constructed and in the entrance to this latter house I stood,
uncertain and debating. Either I had put money into this
venture or was about to do so, and was worried over the
outcome of the investment. I reasoned that as the theatre
was planned and in process of construction we wondered if it
would ever be completed, and it was fine now that the
beautiful structure was finished. Yet there was the big
house on the other side of the street getting all the
business, the smaller one getting some, our's, although good
enough, not getting its share. Then the proprietor came out
and made and effort to attract people. I wondered if it
would prove profitable, and said I would invest in it and it
ought be fine. Then [
257] spoke to a business man in
Chicago that seemed or might have been Mr. [
2667] and they
seemed to be laughing at me, or behind my back, or in
anticipation of getting money from me. My conception here
may be in error - I put it as best I may recall the
impression experienced. Words, concepts, are tricks that do
not always exactly reproduce the experience, but this is as
near as I can hit it. Then the Chicago man turned to [
257]
and said: "It WILL be fine when I have my own office in
Chicago!"
(A) In this there is seen that presented to the entity of
which there has been some conversation concerning a condition
that might arise, and, as is seen and as is experienced or
conceived by this entity, is in relation to that association
as has been, and as will be, sought by [
2667] of Chicago,
for, as is seen, there is presented in this picturalization
of picture houses practically that position as is, or would
be, occupied by this corporation concern as is proposed by
[
2667], and in the completion, as is wondered whether it will
be complete or not, for, as is seen, the condition is as an
idea as yet, working gradually toward the consummation of the
condition, and the condition is seen by this entity, [
900],
for, as has been given, here we see again the correlation
of the body mind (mental), of the physical mind (taking only
material conditions and reasoning one with the other), and
of the subconscious, presenting this condition, as it were,
for the study. There has also, as is seen, been given that
information necessary to [
2667] for the correct setting of
the proposition to MAKE it a success. As to whether this
shall be or not depends upon much of the efforts of
individuals along the line as has been outlined. As that
as is seen by someone laughing, as it were, behind the back
of [
900] for considering the condition, is as this: Some
- SOME have wondered whether the entity, [
900], capable of
handling the condition as will be presented for same through
his resources - that is, whether he would consider, or
whether he would attempt to create that position necessary
for the handling of the conditions. Were these made correct,
as has been outlined for [
2667], these would prove successful
in the end, for, as is seen, it will be necessary, as is seen
across the street - one good - one bad - or one sufficient,
yet not obtaining the trade, to BRING machinery, and the
superintendency of such for the operations of such concerns
as are proposed. Then, all of these should be considered
before there should be considered any coalition between any
of these individuals seen, for this will be presented soon.
(Q) The idea exemplified in experience of two
consciousnesses in one experience - i.e. two units of
consciousness embracing a greater or smaller awareness of
what James [William James] calls the "More" - i.e. of the
process.
(A) That is, or as is given here for the explanation
of this as is seen, as how the mind has been bringing the
correlation of the divisions in consciousness, as how they
may come into one. Study of that as is given gives to the
entity that perfect understanding of why they may be more,
or the process of what consciousnesses is.
(Q) Monday Night, June 7, or Tuesday Morning, June 8, 1926.
[
137] and I were in a dark room. Three coffins lay on props
next to each other. The bodies of the dead had been removed
from the coffins and burnt or otherwise disposed of. They
were the coffins in which the bodies were buried, but the
latter had been removed and the boxes left in this dark
tomb. Now the personalities who died and were buried in
these coffins were - in the first my father, on whose coffin
I put flowers. Second my grandmother, and third my Uncle
[
90], (who to my present knowledge is still alive and living
in ..., Mo.). I wondered how it was my Uncle [
90] was there,
since he was still alive, and the answer came that he would
soon be there - would die soon.
(A) (Interrupting) He WILL soon be there, see?
(Q) I felt inside of my father's coffin, but withdrew my
hand at the thought of the decay that had taken place
therein. Yet the outside of the coffin remained smooth,
shiny and pleasant to look at. The environment seemed right
and the stage all set, so I mentioned to [
137] that we ought
now be able to see some of the spirits of the bodies that
had disappeared. We remained in one corner and [
137] said:
"Certainly we can see over there - there is one!" I looked
and beheld a dark form on the lower part of the wall. "Yes,"
I replied, "I see - I wonder if it is Dad's." But it seemed
it wasn't - it was a newer spirit - possibly my Uncle [
90].
It was a shadow much like I saw in Cayce's room - a form of
darkness. Then I lost sight of it, although [
137] continued
to see it, but I saw occasional flashes, such as I have
experienced now and then, even while conscious.
(A) Again we see that correlation of the various
consciousnesses of the individual as are manifested into
one condition, and, as is seen by the various forms, or by
the presentation, as it were, of three conditions - one
living, one recently, as it were (that is, more recent
than the other), passed, the other still more recent, each
occupying a different position, as it were, of the various
forms of consciousness to the entity, or a different
relationship to the entity in their various forms - the
consciousnesses, as has been given, represent to an entity
the same relation as these individuals as are seen. Hence
become as an experience, see? are set in this way and order
as they may be classified to the entity, and, as is seen in
the change of these from one to the other, see? that is,
that the bodies are minus the coffins which remain, that THEN
presents to the entity how that the full one consciousness
into the spirit plane acts or becomes as a ONE consciousness,
as is NECESSARY for the full completion of the consciousness
of the individual, or for the individual, as individual,
to exist through the material plane, see? for, as is seen,
necessary for the grandmother, the father, the uncle, to
have been in existence for the entity to exist (viewing
from a physical condition), as is necessary for the
consciousnesses of the individual to exist, such as is
necessary for the consciousness in the spirit plane to exist.
We are through.
