(Q) Morning of August 6, 1927. My father, my interviewer,
reminding me of his ability to understand human nature while
in the flesh and now helping me from his present viewpoint
in this. Then in relation to my mother. I asked her for a
donation to the work. She replied that she thought she would
be just as happy seeing me in the work, and watching the
pictures. That she would watch me in relation to the work
and get her pleasure that way, rather than from intimate
relationship with the work. I was disappointed but suggested
that she resign and that I would try and have [
136] replace
her on the board. Trouble with [
257]'s wife [
903] suggested
itself. "But," I replied, "[
136]'s fitted and should be on
the board for the following four definite reasons:
1. By development of mind (Life Reading), intellectual
ability and sincerity of purpose she is fitted for same.
2. She has friends who are becoming members, altho they have
not had much if any experience in the work, [
136] would have
much to do among these and would represent them on board and
lend it prestige in their eyes.
3. [
136] will donate financially, as well as render personal
service.
4. [
139], her spirit mother and guide has told me that it
would please her to have it so."
"Do not forget the ladies in the wonderful work," she told
me. Here again I got the impression that [
136] would render
much to the research work thru the mother.
(A) In this interview as is seen and experienced by the
entity, we find there enters first many various phases of
phenomena that may be termed as psychic forces, manifesting
through the entity both as to spiritual presentation and
as to self's inner consciousness or subconscious reasoning
with conditions as existed from within toward the outer
appearance, or outer field - and in this manner these
conditions should be studied by the entity.
As for the lesson as may be gained; the interview - from that
given - of the father shows how the lessons are being gained
by the entity from one hand. The reasoning as respecting
position and conditions of mother and wife, and relations
with the phenomena as is being studied, shows the development
in this field both for self, wife, and for those that would
aid in the development of the information given to others.
This, then, offers in the manner given the correct solution
for the conditions, see?
As for that as presented in the condition where trouble would
arise, here we have another condition wherein that the same
forces as apply may be applied HERE - and THIS entity as seen
would fill a place that could not be filled by OTHERS; for,
as is seen and as has been given, each that were associated
in one condition, position, in the development of man's
relation to the spiritual forces and spiritual developments
in the earth's plane, should be those associated in the
present undertaking. This one - these two - these THREE -
we find - the entity [
900], the wife [
136], [
903] - ALL were
in various positions in this period, and should be banded -
BANDED - in one purpose to give understanding to the peoples
at the present time.
(Q) Then advise us. Should [
136] be voted on to the board?
(A) Should be voted on to the board, as given - as should
[
903], should she desire to be a member of same.
(Q) How best meet any objection from [
257] if she should?
(A) Be no objection!
(Q) Next came a study of [
136]'s sister [
3816] and her old
intimate friend Louise [...], now Louise [...]. We wrote
both a letter telling them of our hospital work and of its
educational as well as medical phase. We pointed out that,
altho our house and the hospital were connected, each had its
own separate entrance. Then I saw a mirror at such an angle
that only by getting into a certain position could I see
myself reflected. This seemed more to do with the next dream
than with the first part of this dream.
(A) In this we have only the portion as is given, so we may
see the two together here in the one. We find there is given
(this as the lesson the entity should gain from same) the
understanding to the entity in the illustrated manner of how
that the entity - and those associated with same in the study
of self and others - finds the mental abilities spreading,
reaching for those to whom there are the physical attractions
concerning any phase of such phenomena. The letters, the
understanding, the relations, then, should be GIVEN, and let
them be considered, acted upon, by the entities themselves.
The mirror presenting that phase to the entity, that as this
reflection comes to self, so does self reflect what is
attempted or is being attempted in the eyes of others, and as
the reflection from same is seen - or as same responds to the
various developments of another entity - so MUCH of the good
is seen, or so little is exhibited - see?
(Q) I took my pad and pencil to write a daily column for the
newspapers and I started by using man's flying thru air in a
machine as an exemplification of Man in potentiality being
able to transcend and encompass the potential quality of
space - that while flesh needs the machine, the spirit entity
or soul is the machine and the mind the controller. As the
aeroplane is the machine, and man's mind the controller, so
man's inner potential body or energy becomes the machine and
his subconscious mind, that encompasses space in viewpoint,
its controller. Then enlarging upon this I wrote my daily
articles. I was admonished to take my pad and pencil and DO
THIS NOW.
(A) Again and again is there given to the entity the
incentive, and command, for the giving to others of the
thoughts, of the lessons as have been gained by the entity
- for, as has oft been given, in expression, in manifesting
these lessons to others, in the way and manner that others
may be the gainer thereby, the greater becomes the ability of
the entity - for, as is seen in the vision, that is as of the
subconscious reasoning or giving the illustration, that the
entity may use in those communications to those who seek to
gain knowledge through the sources of the study of forces as
are being made manifest, and as are being studied by the
entity.
