TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], of ..., Deal, N.J., 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 same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body and the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had here before. The dreams, as we see, come to the entity through one or the other of the channels as have been outlined for the entity. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Night of June 26, or Sunday morning, June 27, 1926. Trouble with [136]. I knocked her or she became beaten into unconsciousness, at which I became distracted. My mother also seemed to play a part. I picked [136] up and as I did so she called for her mother. "See," I pointed out to my mother, "The poor child while unconscious calls for her mother - there while in that condition she gains aid, strength and guidance from her mother, as I do from my father." (Does this mean [136]'s guide is now her mother and is congizant of conditions of [136]'s life?)
   (A) (Interrupting) If she chooses so, it is.
4. (Q) (Continuing) My subconscious gave me the impression not symbolized in words but that might be termed as follows: "Of course you understand the condition and these things thoroughly. Then why not act it?" Following this impression I became remorseful and taking [136] in my arms called to her to come to, but the knocks had been too much for her and she remained unconscious possibly dying. The life had been knocked out of her. "But we are only beginning, [136]," I called. "Please come back to life." It was too late - [136] sunk deeper into her state of coma. "Why these little quarrels," I continued, "don't amount to a bag of needles and pins. I wish I hadn't made them so serious." Remorseful and experiencing a terrible feeling of regret, I awakened.
   (A) In this there are presented, as is given in that as has been experienced, the condition as is represented in the life of the individual as seen in same; also there is seen in that of the study of the entity's reasoning with self, as it were, through the subconscious force, for the experience as is being gained of that same lesson wherein that the entity may become so severe with those whom the entity should and would guide in their way of thinking as to bring remorse to self, for the action committed in the physical sense to the mental proclivities of an entity, and as is seen in that as is reasoned by the entity - that is, the lessons and the truths as pertaining to the issues of life - the why or the wherefore, the emblematical and the enigmatical, all are known to the entity. Then why not put them into practice? for in the action of many of the laws, as the knowledge of same is gained, is the lesson learned of how these may become effective in the life of each individual. See?
   Then the lesson as is gained for the entity in this is that more care, more attention, more sympathy, more of the easy lessons as the entity learns, impart same to others, beginning first, as has been given, at home; or, beginning as was first called to those who would give His word, beginning at Jerusalem - that represents home.
5. (Q) The market in one particular stock, either Reading or Lehigh Valley, seemed to be in a constant and continuous upward movement. Everybody was enquiring as to the reason of its high prices and continuous upward climb. I saw a crowd in gaudy colors seemingly watching this stock go up and buying it. In spite of the upward move in price of this rail stock, the market seemed to be receding in price. I seemed to be getting in too late of a morning to do business, and it seems I didn't sell my stock in time such that I rushed to sell all the stock I had at the market, not even waiting to write out the orders (that took too long), but gave them in right from my margin book. I wanted out, for the market seemed declining very fast. Arthur Reynolds said to me: "Allied Chemical came out with a poor report this week." "At what price is the stock selling?" I asked him. "At 105," he answered, and looking at the stock ticker, saw that it was.
   (A) In this there is seen by the individual, through those experiences as gained in the consciousness of the entity, those conditions as have been seen, and as will be seen, until after the holidays, see? after the 4th, 5th, 6th, see? that the rails as seen - Lehigh Valley - Reading - all rails - these as a representative class, for we find that each of these represent a different class of rail - are on the advance, though there are some of the leading stocks that show the decline, and, as is seen by the inability of the entity to attend to same, or to get in in time, or to sell same out, and as seen in the prices, then the decline may be expected any time suddenly after the gaudy apparel, or after the opening after holidays, see? May be the sudden decline in all stocks. Then this depending entirely upon the steel reports and the money market.
6. (Q) Does this indicate a smash downward in stock prices?
   (A) After the 5th, see?
7. (Q) In Allied Chemical stock to 105?
   (A) 5 - 6 - 3 - this, as we see, indicates the downward trend of Allied Chemical to near that point as seen. Not of a sudden, but near that as seen, even from the 125 and 145 as seen now.
8. (Q) Then I saw a hospital. It was a good one and seemed the result of Henry S's donation. He made or gave the donation for a hospital to someone and I was disappointed that I wasn't put in charge. "If only he had given me that hospital, what good work I could have done with it," I said. "I wish I could have such a place."
   (A) (Interrupting) and he may.
9. (Q) (Continuing) "or the money for such a place," I continued.
   (A) (Interrupting) and he may.
10. (Q) (Continuing) Again I saw the stock market, the ticker and the telephone. Reasoning or Voice: "To get money you must have the confidence of those who have money, that you can make money."
    (A) This, as we see, is as the indication to the entity of that as has been first foremost in the mental consciousness of the entity. That is - that to have that which the entity desires for any investigations of psychic or of the forces as may be manifested through this entity, [900], or the consciousness as is attained by same - that is, the entity has given self the job to make the money. When, as is seen, gaining the confidence of individuals that have money, that there is a work to be accomplished, this money would be forthcoming, for the consciousness must be created in the mind of the entity to create same in the others, and in the correct way and manner, see? For that added to what the entity accomplishes in self, and in the consciousness of others, would bring about that necessary for that the entity desires for that condition as is seen that others give for such things, see?
11. (Q) I am often racked between what may seem to be the devil and the deep blue sea.
    (A) (Interrupting) For this, as is seen, is as a consciousness of the entity's condition when considering the abilities of others who would, through the entity's business, or through the entity's efforts, risk that to gain, which to the entity becoming a loss, the entity feels it isn't just right. This fear, this dread, is lack of confidence in entity's self, see? and the fear - fear of - being considered not straight, not honest, not in the way as He would have the entity do; for as is seen in this, as has been given, this is as a reasoning to the entity of that consciousness as must be obtained IN self, that OTHERS may have that consciousness to APPLY that in hand for the benefit of others, see? for, as is seen, more and more there is growing in the world of affairs that consciousness that the one who would live in the hearts of others must give that which would lighten the burden of the heart of others.
12. (Q) Sunday night, June 27, 1926. In school and the teacher pointed to a great many symbols that stand for chemical combinations and formulas or equations. They seemed arranged on a hillside and were much as follows:
    H4 06 P3 + PH305 = 2 R, etc. "I don't understand all those symbols," I said. Then a dog seemed to be slowly climbing up the hill and the teacher said: "Climb up slowly - not jump up."
    (A) There is more of this.
13. (Q) I saw a varied colored stadium, each tier in the stadium presenting a different color. Reason or voice or subconscious experience: "This is a vari-colored world, and also a world of specialty."
    (A) In this we find the two represent that of the experience of the consciousnesses of the individual, into how the entity presents, or should present, that lesson to self, and to others, in the various phases, and, as has been said: "I would be all things unto all men that I might thereby save the more." And as is seen in the lesson on the hillside, of the various formulas, of the various conditions, and their equations, equaling to that same condition as the entity is presenting, and as is seen in the tier of the various colors, and of the reasoning within self of the various conditions and phases as are presented in the world, this then is as the lesson to the entity, that step by step, little by little, first one, then two, then as each of these give their various phases of the lessons as are being given to the world, the entity enters his own - the guide, the director, the teacher, the blessed one as will be called in ages to come, of Him who would draw all men under the banner of Him who said: "I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me." Then in that purpose, in that intent, that the truth may shine through the dark places, drawing from the various phases of the experienced forces in the world, may the entity gain those lessons, as are seen experienced in this self, that even, as is seen, some would climb higher, that the vision might be greater; some would need that coaching, as the dog, to gain the lower level, that the truth might be made the better manifest; yet all are of the One, and in that Oneness is the strength, for "The Father and I are one," as has been set, in purpose, in intent, and the Will of the Father must be the rule, for in intent, in purpose, as is seen - often in experience of this character and kind, there is often wondered, as it were, why an individual apparently without thought, without purpose, without intent, except or save to accumulate that which is of the worldly forces, and he who strives to do the right is pushed aside, pulled from pillar to post, without even the show of gaining, it seems, the favor of Him whom outwardly he serves. Looking in the heart we find often as this: Him who is from without has in heart said: Were I in THIS place, I would do thus and so. It has been given as a trust. The Father is seen in him who in the next forces is in rack and in pain.
14. We are through for this time.
