TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [903], of ..., New York City, and the dream this body had on the date which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained from this, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, [903].
3. Dreams as come to a body are of different nature and character, dependent upon through what channel these are brought to the physical consciousness of the body. All are not brought entirely to the sensuous consciousness; yet often - even though of experience of subconscious mind - may influence an individual as to the trend or bend of the mental action of the mind for quite a period, or until something else may fill the consciousness. Consciousness, in this sense, not wholly that known in the physical as sensuous consciousness; rather an innate consciousness than a sensuous consciousness. Rather an attribute, then, under such conditions, of the subconscious than of the conscious mind.
4. In the dream - some may be as dreams of a conscious or the subconscious mind, or a correlation of each - or these may be visions of projection of subconsciousness of other minds acting with the subconscious forces of an individual. These - or this character - are always visions. Well that one differentiate between a vision and a dream, or a purely physical reaction. Ready for dream.
5. (Q) Of recent date. I heard a tapping noise in the corner of the room, and I asked about the noise. [257] said to me: "That is [900]." "No," I replied to [257]. "That is Buddy, my brother [deceased], who desires to talk to me." "No," insisted [257], "that is [900]." I asked who it was and a voice clearly and distinctly replied: "This is [900] speaking." I recognized [900]'s voice and the dream concluded with my telling [900] of my dream.
   (A) Here we find the actions of subconscious forces taking on in vision that of the effect seen in vision, or of the telepathic forces in action when two minds are in the state of being under control of subconscious forces, and being directed then through conversation as concerning those elements as pertain to that of a cosmic or an ethereal consciousness, these bring the force into action in a way and manner that brings that known as telepathic communication, or the action of subconscious forces in individuals brought again by suggestion - conversational suggestion - and when the minds of each are in accord, the demonstration through the action of the subconscious force, or the cosmic entity of the third bringing the two together in a manner as to make that called phenomena of the subconscious forces of entities acted upon by that force of the cosmic entity acting as the in-between. For all cosmic force must use some means of transmission through that force already in the sensuous world, for man's sensuousness to be acquainted with same. Hence the tapping brought about by the entity of the third, while that of the communication of subconscious forces, see?
   Then the lesson, the application, the meaning of same in the mind of this entity to apply same to that force in which this may be used in the material sense:
   Through the lack of the attunement in self the entity has been drawn away from self, and through that attunement in conversation this has been awakened to the point where there is seen that the reference to another given that the two may again bring much to each other, were that attunement be brought about, see? Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Just what caused that tapping sound?
   (A) Just as given. That action of the cosmic entity of the body bringing attention through that of a telepathic force brought in action, or the subconscious force of the entity [903] awakened by conversation from that of [900], brought to the subconscious forces of the entity [903] that of the entity of the brother, Buddy, and through the force as manifested in the draft as appeared through that corner of the room, there the tapping is heard, or the consciousness of the entity's action within the room. The spoken word as felt then within self - without being said, there appeared that of the recognition of the force in action. That awakening the action recognized by the entity. Hence the application as given, see?
7. (Q) Then what caused me to hear a tapping sound?
   (A) That as given. These are answered here, you see. Study these that we have given. Apply those applications as have been seen. More of these may come to thee, would thou apply same. If thou desirest thou may HAVE more of these direct. If thou fearest, do not call.
8. We are through for the present.
