TEXT

1. [900]: You will have before you [2886], ..., N.Y. City. You will have his associations and conditions of his life at present. You will have before you, in addition to [2886], [137], of ..., N.Y. City, and [900] present in this room. You will interpret the dream and experience [900] had last night in relation to [2886] and that that [137] sought as in protection to [2886], and the interpretation [137] sought to gain for [2886], instructing us how to proceed and how we should proceed in this matter. You will answer questions.
2. EC: Yes, we have the bodies, the enquiring minds, [2886], [137], & [900], and those conditions as surround the body and the bodies, and as regarding the vision, conditions, as are seen. These conditions, as we find, are not wholly compatible one with another, even as was visioned by the body as respecting the actions that should and should not be taken as regarding same. In that seen, there may be again much given in this: Let not thine good be evil spoken of.
3. Now, as respecting these conditions from the different angle, or standpoint of an individual action and activity, there is that in the action of the individual that is justifiable in self; yet not in keeping with those tenets and laws under which the body seeks to endeavor the gains in material life, and again may it be given the body, keep thine skirts clean, and there is a way that seemeth right to a man, but the end thereof is destruction. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Our Association, then, being for the purpose of enlightening and aiding, has no place in interfering with the operation of the physical or civil law?
   (A) Has no place in defeating or interfering with that.
5. (Q) Is there any further advice to [2886]?
   (A) There are those conditions in the life that seemeth dark, and despair overshadows the body; yet will the mind but reflect upon those things that has been given the body, that in life one is in the midst of death, and death to those elements that would bring to self those very conditions as are visioned in the mind as respecting social ostracism, stigma, to the individuals and upon whom the entity and body feels that dependency has been placed. Think, then, not that life has waxed hard. Rather that he that suffereth for a cause is justified in that cause. Is the cause that the body suffers in justifiable in the development of self's own interest and those of others? Then let the words of thy mouth, and the meditation of thine heart be kept in the way that light, life, and understanding may come to self as for the purposes of the bigger, better, broader understanding of what the EXPERIENCE means. We are through with this reading.
