(Q) The one this morning in which I seemed distressed. My
father had died, my mother was irreconcilable, and my brother
and I were crying in each other's arms. I said "I do not
want to go away at this time." Then my father entered, just
in normal physical body. My mother grew frightened, and I
said "Be not afraid for this is perfectly normal. Did not
the Master reappear in flesh after what we call death?" I
reached up to take my father's face in my hands, but he
stepped back and struck me, and was seen to be very angry
with me. I said "Yes, the Master likewise said to Mary,
'Touch me not for I am not yet risen to my father in
heaven.'" He then continued striking me and I pulled off
the arm, that is the ulnar and radial section, from the elbow
joint, and a wire seemed to extend down with a shoe tree at
the end. And I pointed out "Now you see how a cosmic entity
may use the ectoplastic substance of this section to build
about themselves a physical body they are conscious of having
been in form while on the earth plane.
(A) In this there is presented in this emblematic form and
manner those conditions as existent in the mental and
physical body of the entity at the present time; that is,
while there are seemingly undue activities in and about the
business relations and associations of the body that requires
the presence of the body, and these seem to reach such
proportions as to cause the body, [
900], to consider that
possibly would be better to defer the trip. Yet as is seen
by that shown by the father, and as reasoned in the mind of
the body, [
900], as to how the body must be builded, that the
life force may be manifested in and through the physical
forces of the body.
Hence there was given by the father "Do not touch me",
fighting me off, and preventing even the close touch, that
those understandings of the cosmic forces as were viewed
with the weakened body, mental and physical, the lack of
proportionate understanding may be manifested either for the
physical conditions for the works of the body or of the
mental understanding of those things necessary for the
proper conception of the truths as taught by the Master, and
as has been exemplified here in the mind and in the
consciousness of the entity, then lay these thoughts and
worries aside for even as the father entered, to comfort,
brought fear to others, even so would the father enter
should fear come to those who are handling the conditions
while the body physical and mental recuperates or gains
proper resuscitation from the association of the air, light,
sea, and the universal consciousness.
(Q) Again telling me that those things I worry about are
being well taken care of by those cosmic consciousnesses I
understand so well to be working, or rather that I am working
in cooperation with, in harmony to accomplish one purpose.
(A) Correct.
(Q) The rest of the dream then regarding my father and my
pre-vision of his death and my plans intuitively made,
though not even definitely expressed in my own thoughts.
Has this the same meaning?
(A) Still carrying as was seen by that presented are the
full accord, that is attained by the at-oneness of the body
conscious with the forces as are manifested through the
various cosmic forces in attunement with the entity's desires
and purposes, and that the body physical, taken as a unit and
as a portion of the great whole, must be kept in that
condition wherein physically there may be manifested, for in
the physical plane or in the earth plane, there comes
material manifestations in the various forms, as are patterns
in the great oneness or the universal consciousness of which
all are a part. Hence while each division of the Godhead or
of the purpose may be taken apart as it were to study the
various portions, yet when considered the body physical, the
body mental, the body spiritual must be considered as a
whole, so that with every other manifestation as comes to an
individual in the proper understanding of that presented,
that while each portion may be a separate individual
manifestation, it is of the whole a part, and must be so
considered.
We are through.
REPORTS
2/17/28 While Mr. [
900] and wife were on trip to California,
his brother obtained dream rdg.
137-102.
2/21/28 EC's letter to Mr. [
900] to Calif. where Mr. [
900]
and wife were vacationing:
Dear [
900]:-
I can't begin to tell you everything about the trip.
Gertrude was almost to Birmingham before the difference came
up. Had it been a personal thing, I would have gone ahead
and tried it out - for we had the city judge, the city
attorney, chief of police, all on our side. The city is
ruled by a commission, and one of the commissioners has an
affidavit in our booklet - but because they took exceptions
at the institution I thought it best not to attempt to make
an issue at this time. We stayed until Saturday, and
Saturday evening we had a meeting in one of the halls at
the library and got the Club started. There were possibly
forty or fifty present at the meeting. We have already
received three or four applications and they will start into
regular work as soon as we get these readings back and the
others in shape. One man in Selma offers to pay the bill
for one room - or, in other words, it will mean a
contribution by he and his wife of $2500 a year, the
institution once going. Bransford [Johnson Bransford] wants
us to come to Nashville. He thinks we can get things in
shape by being there a few days. We'll do that as soon as
you can go. All in all we had a very good trip. Not as
much money as we'd like to have, but some preliminary work
that is necessary if our institution is to be a success, and
I'm sure it will be from the minute we are able to get
started. I saw and talked to Dr. House. He is ready to
come whenever we say the word. Come any time in two weeks
notice. I told him I was sure we would be wanting him by or
before the 15th. I haven't heard from Miss [
302]. Don't
know how she is progressing - haven't known just whether I
should write her or not, as I wired you I had request from
[
137] and I wired you just about the information that was
given. I think the most peculiar thing that has come up
recently is the life reading on Miss [
97] that [
195] wired
for. We found - after the reading was sent - there had been
a physical given for her about five years ago in Atlanta,
Ga. Once they contact it they never get away, even though
they may have forgotten it - as apparently we have the
original in the files, she possibly never saw her reading.
I'm glad to know you are enjoying your trip. I'm sure it
will do you worlds of good. I haven't had time to read the
information gotten to-day [900-370], as we're trying to rush
it off as the Post Office will not be open to-morrow, and it
might delay it so that you wouldn't get it. Will write you
again to-morrow and try to get it away - I must hurry with
this. All pretty well except Miss Gladys. She has been
feeling so bad that we haven't got up with our
correspondence, though she has insisted on taking care of
the readings each day. She'll be alright in a day or two -
it's only a bad cold or the flu. The weather is fine here -
cool but fine. Let us hear from you. All send kindest
personal regards.
