TEXT

1. GC: You will have before You the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you, and 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, the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had here before. The dreams, the visions, are as those conditions as have been outlined in the various experiences of the consciousnesses of the individual, and may be applied in the way and manner as has been outlined for this entity. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Tuesday morning, August 10, 1926. Regarding the crosstown bus that was to take us to Cayce's Institute, but which never came. We all changed to the streetcar and that took the crowd.
   (A) We have more.
4. (Q) (Continuing) A man said to me, regarding my book: "You are quite literary, aren't you?"
   (A) In this there is seen that many various conditions as respecting that held in the mind of the entity is being considered, yet without full concentration on either. Too much of the drift, as it were, with the entity as respecting either condition for the subconscious forces to give the full experience to the entity of that as is visioned. Hence another phase of consciousness may be seen here by the entity in the study of this phase of the phenomena of life, that as is meant by the elemental psychologist, in concentration - that the whole being works together, or that that may be mastered, or become a part of the entity. Then, as we see, that the lesson - not an individual instance or condition as is explained or viewed or experienced by the entity. In that as is said by the body to the entity concerning the literary abilities of the entity, this shows that concentration in one direction is, as given, the full experience of ALL of the consciousnesses of the entity, see?
5. (Q) A frosted window on which 3 sayings were written. One: "In 3 days Cayce Hospital will be established." Forgot other two.
   (A) In this there is presented, through the body-conscious forces of the entity, those conditions as surrounding the establishment of that in which the entity, through the mental forces of same, is so interested, and, as was given in "Nine days and Ninevah shall be destroyed," in three days and the foundations of that as might become the Cayce Institute, or hospital, was and might be established - that is; the CONSCIOUSNESS of the condition be known to the entity, [900]. Those others as are visioned refer to those conditions as the knowledge of the entity respecting social relations with individuals. The other as respecting those conditions with the business, in which the entity is associated with others, see?
6. (Q) Morning of Wednesday, August 11. Our own brokerage business in our own office - yet as partners of another firm called "Starr Brothers." This was better than our arrangement at Block Maloney's. I noticed the bookcases around. Nice office. I didn't know what percentage of the profits [137] and I were to get - didn't care, as the opportunity was too great. I wanted to bring in Arthur Reynolds, but the senior partners refused and said: "Only [137] and you." Then a tall man who seemed the head of the firm suddenly turned out to be Mark Eisner, and he said: "You are taking my place - you boys - that is what I like." I started to get my accounts transferred to the new firm.
   (A) In this there is seen in the entity's inmost forces through the subconscious that of the same condition as a continuation of that as viewed on the board, or frosted window, as it were, looking through the glass dimly into those relations that have been visioned in the physical consciousness as the possibility in the change of the conditions and associations surrounding the individual, see? This may or may not, just as the will of the INDIVIDUAL is given and acts on same, and, as is seen, these may be made beneficial, or they may be turned into that channel, through concentration, that would bring greater possibilities, better surroundings, more in keeping with the social, and in the financial relations of the entities that are interested in same.
7. (Q) Any relation to [2886]'s offer that we are now considering?
   (A) In direct relation to that as is being considered. Just as given.
8. (Q) Should we enter into partnership with him - i.e. will it be to our advantage and his?
   (A) Very good. Many conditions may be made more satisfactory, more beneficial, to all concerned.
9. (Q) Advise on this matter.
   (A) Just as given.
10. (Q) What does Reynold's rejection mean?
    (A) Rather that the due consideration to the various positions as held by present association, and that in which THIS environ would place all, see? Rather than of the INDIVIDUAL, though this is visualized or given in this manner, as is seen in the personality of the individual representing same, representing that which may be used in man various ways and channels. Hence the financial, the social, the business relations, all must be considered.
11. (Q) Afternoon of Tuesday, August 17, 1926. Voice: "Be careful what man you choose."
    (A) In this as is seen there is in the entity's inner forces that consideration concerning certain trips, voyages, channels, etc., and there is seen that more than one has been considered in the officers of the undertaking. Choose those that were presented in the first place, see? the first two. Choose those - Bragg (?) and Gettering [Kettering (?)]. Keep inside the channel, as is seen, for this would prove the better voyage, and there will be seen the cause of same in the outside conditions as will happen during that period.
12. (Q) Tuesday night, August 17, or Wednesday morning, August 18, 1926. "Why plan a trip outside when Long Island Sound is safe?"
    (A) Just that as given. Keep in the Sound, rather than the outside. The conditions as to WHY this would be the better will be seen from that as will happen on the outside during that period, as given.
13. (Q) I saw a dummy on the stage of the theatre. A man behind the curtain told me to pull the string. Then he came out - the original - "You want to see some real acting?" and the curtain went up and the stage was full of acrobats, high up on rings - thousands and thousands of them all jumping in.
    (A) This, as is seen, is the representation, in this emblematical way, of the conditions as will be seen as respecting the sudden changes as will come from behind the scenes of the present conditions as are existing in the Exchange, for there will be many up, many down, many changes in the industrials, in rail, in all of the conditions as are surrounding those of the activities of the board, and, as will be seen, these will be pulled, as it were, first being as that of the up, again - we will see the general action from the real seat, or purpose, or cause, from the sources and the conditions, and there will be for many days, during this period, much of this real activity. Up - down, up and down. See?
14. We are through for the present.
