GD's note: Mrs. [
1523] later told us that she saw her first
husband, [
2508], off and on all through that summer. There
was a strong emotional pull toward him and away from [
1650].
The rift between her and [
1650] seemed to widen. She
indicated that without the guidance of the readings she
probably would have terminated her marriage with [
1650]
at that time; she was sure this was the period of disturbance
referred to in
1523-4 which was to occur in '41. [Her
dreams which follow seem to indicate her state of turmoil
in re her marriage, etc.]
DREAMS of Mrs. [
1523] as recorded by her:
August 7, 1941. I saw [
1650] in an embrace with a girl
that looked like [
2175]. There was complete adoration in
her eyes - and [
1650] said "For the first time I know what
real love means." I was very disturbed in the dream because
I seemed to realize that he would have responded in the same
manner no matter who the girl might have been.
August 10, 1941. There was a couple and an extra girl
waiting for [
1650]. They were very anxious for him to hurry.
He stopped to open the sandwiches I had made for him and
threw them on the ground. I picked them up and they were
alright but when [
1650] took hold of them to show me, they
were full of ants, - suddenly teeming with ants. I explained
that I had put them in the frigidaire - and he reluctantly
admitted that he was responsible but went off in a rage with
the girl and couple waiting for him. (I felt very upset and
disturbed when I awoke - just as I did when I had the dream
about the child - see reading
1523-12, Par. 17-A.)
October 3, 1941. A bull was chasing me and I ran around
on a porch very much like that of the front porch of the
Breakers Cottage on 27th St., Va. Beach. - I hoped to
escape thru one of the three doors at the end of the
porch. The doors were closed and there was no time for
opening them so I could escape from the bull. I called
and no one heard me. When I realized there was no escape,
I gave up and very fearfully awaited my death. When the
bull attacked me - much to my surprise - it didn't hurt
at all. The bull dissolved like an air bubble.
October 9, 1941. [
1650] and I were having a very heated
disagreement at a new home which my family had built. They
were there at the time. I left the room before a decision
was reached and went out the back way. As I went thru the
boiler room someone of the family put their hand on the
pipe to the oil burner and it broke and caught on fire.
I was frantic and called for someone - either [
4930] or
[
1650] - to get a hose. They weren't in the least alarmed
and I was unable to find anything to put the fire out. (When
I awoke, I felt very depressed & fearful - the dream awakened
me.)
October 18, 1941. [
1650] and I were at a dance. He was
completely indifferent - So I decided to go home. He stayed
and it was about three o'clock when I heard him come in. I
got up, being upset that he was so late. He was drunk and
had been in a fight - his clothes were nearly torn off and
he had a black eye. Later [
4930] told me he had been
fighting with [
2508] and had nearly killed him. I told
[
1650] I would hate him the rest of my life for what he
had done. Later I caught up with him and told him I didn't
mean it but I didn't understand why he would do such a thing
when he was so much larger than [
2508].
1/31/42 Mrs. [
1523]'s ltr. to EC:
My dearest friend and loved one:-
Each day I have tried to write you in answer - not only
to the beautiful letter giving me the opportunity to join
you and many others in a period of daily prayer [See under
2678-1 Background] - but there are so many things I would
like you to know that I don't seem to be able to put into
verbal or written words.
Maybe if I tell you that it began with my knowing you and
I hope that it will never end - that just being near YOU
and your family has come to mean more to me than anything
that has ever come into my existence it will in a very small
degree give you an idea of the gratitude I am trying to
express for having received such a blessing.
I hope that someday I will be worthy of the love and
patience you have shown me - and that I may in some
measure, not only pass this on to others, but return
it to you in full measure and more. My daily prayer
is that I will not falter in measuring up to all that
you have so willingly and unselfishly brought to me
and those close to me.
Of all the people I know, I don't know anyone who has been so
privileged as I - nor given such an opportunity as I - for
having been taken into the family and as I look back to
1938 - I've often wondered why. I only hope and pray that
I can prove myself worthy.
Sincerely, and with my deepest love, [
1523]

3/21/42 DREAMS submitted by Mrs. [
1523]:
March 21, 1942. While I was taking an Oil (Castor) Pack.
The room was banked with snow. The ceiling was weighted
down with snow and snow was sticking to the top of the
ceiling and banked in the corners. I did not feel cold
- but felt very drowsy - as if I could not awaken but with
the knowledge that I must - the snow seemed very white.
March 22, 1942. I was driving a huge truck which was very
high off the ground. I could not control it. - and seemed
to be driving it all over the place trying to avoid hurting
anyone. Before I could stop the truck (by removing the key
or choking the motor) I met two or three large road building
machines that did not give me room to pass - as a result
the truck was side swiped - when I was asked about it - I
pretended I didn't know it had happened. [GD's note: This
dream is especially interesting in view of the fact that a
few years later Mrs. [
1523] divorced Mr. [
1650] and married
a man who was a road builder, with just such road building
machines that she dreamed of, but whom she did not know at
the time of the dream.

Hello Beautiful,-
Your note received, contents duly noted, your instructions
will be carried out to the letter. In fact I destroy all
written matter upon receipt after reading of course.
During one of your sessions can you tell me how I am making
out in the army. On the surface I seem to be doing pretty
good, but I would still like your opinion.
By the way my title is now Sgt. and I expect to to go O.C.S.
in the very near future. This Army sure offers one a host
of opportunities. You can almost choose any thing you want.
So naturally I am taking all the tough ones. HA - All
kidding aside it is getting a little rugged now. The farther
up the ladder the harder it is.
[
1523], I have been thinking a lot about you lately. I wish
we could have gone out together while I was on furlough but
guess it is just as well so if you feel safe about it. Let
me hear from you with all the news.
I want to go over seas but I have to make 1st Lt. before I
can go. But if I get through O.C.S. I will make 1st Lt. in
30 days because of my age.
Best of Luck and the same old love, [

I am the N.C.O. in charge.

Hello [

Guess you think I have been travelling around quite a bit.
Well I have but it seems that I am just beginning. I expect
to ship over seas at any time now. I have been trying for
a long time. They have started calling all of the N.C.O.'s.
We had about 6 men get their orders today from my squadron,
we will all go pretty soon. They may send me to O.C.S.
instead. If they do I will go as an officer later on because
I still want over sea service. So if you are going to send
me a picture, you better hurry -
[
1523], I have been thinking about you a lot lately. Don't
know exactly why. But every once in a while, I will hear or
see some thing that reminds me of you. Funny isn't it?
Tell every one that you can hello for me and write real
soon.
Sincerely, [

P.S. I had a swell time on my trip to Los Angeles. I was

Received the picture today sure is nice. Kind of revealing
don't you think? Just the same I will keep it always.
[
1523], I am back in Fla. in a new camp. We are getting
extensive training, we live in tents, no lights, water or
any thing. Sure is tough, we are about 10 miles out of
town, right in the woods, snakes galore, and plenty of sand
and sand spurs. I am in charge of, Arctic, Desert, and
Jungle warfare. Due for a promotion soon. I can't tell
you the address, because they won't give us any. We have
to come to town and get our mail. And any thing else that
we have to have. So just keep on writing to me at the old
address.
I don't think it will be long now before we go some where.
Sure hope my O.C.S. orders come through soon. I may hear
some thing on them between now and the 15th.
Write real soon and thanks for the picture,

Dear [
1523]:
Well here I am way down here in the deep south and I am
stationed in an outpost 16 miles from the nearest town.
There isn't a house in sight for miles around but I rather
like it. And yesterday one of the boys came back from
furlough with a coronet and lo and behold there was a nice
long article about our friend Mr. Cayce in it but of course
I suppose you have seen it. If not it is entitled, The
Miracle Man of Va. Beach, really a very nice story, which
started me thinking about my eyes again [See
2508-1 in re
his glaucoma] and wondering if Mr. Cayce would give me
another reading and under the circumstances prescribe a
treatment that would be possible in this location. I can
get into town every other day. How about a little advice
from you KID. There was also some thing else very funny
that happened last night about 475 recruits came out and
made camp just a short distance from where we are located
and in this group was a boy who claimed to be adept at
"Auto-Hypnosis," (Is the spelling correct?). So he put on a
demonstration and it was startling some of the things he
did. He would just talk to a boy or some times more and put
them to sleep and tell them what he wanted them to do when
they woke up and be damned if they didn't do every thing he
said, and even today two of the boys made the exact score he
said they would on the rifle range. Can you explain that.
Well Darling Hurry and write gotta go now.

My Dear Mrs. [

You can write the most matter of fact, cold, Blunt,
unfriendly letter at times that I have ever had the
privilege to read why don't you let your hair down an
[and] live like an ordinary human being for a change.
I don't mean to be fussy and I'm not mad, but you do
make me use terrible language at times.
Oh Well skip it. Sure I would like to have a copy of the
reading I don't know what I can do about it but maybe some
thing, but don't put yourself to any trouble. I know how
busy you must be.
I would tell you to tell the folks hello but I suppose that
would put you in a very bad position.
Has [
4930] been behaving himself? Why don't you adopt a
baby of your own maybe you could find a more natural outlet
for your excess energy.
Don't take this letter to serious I suppose it comes from
being alone for long periods at a time and thinking too much.
Get it. THINKING.
Stay in there and keep swinging.
Sincerely, [
2508]
P.S. Don't worry about any one seeing our letters. They
don't stay around. I don't save any letters. And lay off

ha.
9/25/43 Mrs. [
1523]'s letter:
Dear [
2508]:-
Both of your letters came Tuesday. Due to shortage of
typewriters and time this is the first opportunity I've had
to write. It all adds up to the fact that my work is the
least urgent at present, so I'm the one without. Of course
we have one at home which [
1548] uses a great deal which
makes it inconvenient to have - at times. I am at home now
and won't have a chance to use this one for a week or two
since we are loaning it to Mr. Cayce until they can get some
repair work done on one of theirs.
I find it very difficult to write to you, [
2508], because
there is a great deal that must go unsaid. If I write in
terms of my purpose in keeping up a correspondence with you
it might prove just as disturbing as - say - my last letter
which seemed so matter-of-fact to you. Let me put it this
way and maybe it will seem less complicated. The last time
I talked with you I asked you one question - the answer is
responsible for the manner in which I express myself to you
by letter as well as in person. The question - I asked you
was whether or not you thought I have changed - that is not
physically - but rather my way of thinking - my attitude in
general - remember? Your answer was "no" - and in part you
were right. I would say basically that would be the correct
answer for anyone. Maybe I've always wanted to know "why."
What with being side-tracked by emotions over which I didn't
seem to be able to control - and took what offered itself
from day to day with no thought of anyone but myself and
getting what I wanted - namely you. For some reason I didn't
understand at the time. I came to realize that what I had
expected our married life to be - could never be. To
continue with our way of life could only end up with me
losing - my self-respect and eventually becoming the
"goodtime Sue." All of this I have said to you before -
eh? Just leaving you was not the answer - however - for a
long time I thought it was - during which period I became
involved in other problems (shall I say) - with the thought,
"now just what has this person to offer me?" or in short
"what can I get out of this." Needless to say that I spent
quite a while trying to find my way through that bright idea
- and was definitely going to give up - this time physically
too. It was then that I became interested in the Association
- first Mr. Cayce - then the Association and what it is
attempting to accomplish. For four years I have not only
made a study of the information that has come thru the
Readings - but have tried to also put into practice the
tenets or theories suggested - some of which are presented
in a more advanced manner. A reflection of these ideals can
be seen in the lives of many great people - many of which
the church is trying to present. Primarily I have gotten
the answers to my "whys." At first it was a very slow
process and at times - now - that feeling of wanting to be
free to "let my hair down" comes back - yet I know "I can't
have everything" and so I usually consider more carefully
the possible results before responding to the impulse of
the moment. Yes, [
2508], I have changed - although I don't
believe anything short of a life time would prove it - to
even some of those in my own family. I have not changed
against my will - rather because of my will to change.
If you would permit me to say these things to you in person
(that is - without interruption) you would probably ask
me - "so what has all this gotten you?" "How can you find
enjoyment in these ideas that seem to restrain you so?" and
I would answer you very much in this manner. I have first
come to better understand myself. Secondly, I have come to
understand you - probably better than you understand
yourself - and eventually this understanding released me
from mental and emotional torment. If I had gained nothing
else - it would have been well worth this life time - but in
gaining this understanding, many other things have become
evident to me. The knowledge that I can only help myself
through helping others. Patience - because it takes patience
to help others effectively. Tolerance - for there is
something about everyone that requires tolerance from
others. Most important of all - an attitude of "loving
indifference" in exchange for a rather intense and
possessive feeling in connection with those close in
association (to me). Because of these things in my life has
taken on purpose and direction and with each passing month
there is an added feeling of confidence because of something
accomplished. Nothing I can show the world - nothing that
even those close to me are aware of - but something about
the way I feel inside gives me the assurance that I have
made a choice that is right - at least it is right for me.
To say that this process has eliminated any feeling that I
have for you would be to deny everything that I have just
expressed. Rather - it has made me more aware of the many
things that I came to know about through you - many things
that were and are beautiful in thought and will remain so -
many things that were wise - many things that prove you big
in comparison - for in many ways you are a much bigger person
that you will permit others to know about. This in part
is due to some of the choices you have made in your daily
activities. There has been a change in my feelings where
you are concerned and in time I hope you may come to
recognize this change to be not only for the best - but of
more value and of a more lasting quality where both of us is
concerned - because of that change.
Why don't you keep this letter, [
2508], and when you are in
doubt about the way I feel - or about the purpose for which
our paths cross from time to time whether it be in person -
or through correspondence - or in thought - maybe you will
come to KNOW - that there is something in what I have said
- something that will assure you that knowing me has been
more purposeful than just a "chance" or "passing fancy."
I will copy your check-physical reading the first opportunity
I have to use a typewriter.
As always - I wish you good-luck and God Speed! [

1/05/45 Mr. [
1650]'s ltr. to Mrs. [
1523], after they had been
separated two months: "After talking with GD earlier this
week, I expected the end would be soon, but it's suddenness
was a shock. I learned of it in Washington, Thursday but
did not and could not get to Norfolk before this afternoon.
I was sorry I did not get to the services. I know you had
a feeling for Mr. Cayce and his work that I could not quite
understand - except that it was sincere, honest and
purposeful. I was very fond of him in my own way and I
think he liked me.
"I recognize your loss and I am profoundly sorry. I realize
that your association with him has given you an understanding
that will enable you to overcome almost anything and I
believe the same spiritual fortitude will guide and protect
you in whatever venture you undertake, whether or no [not]
it has to do with the Association. Perhaps, [
1523], a letter
from me is pointless, but it is written because I think I
know, now, more than anyone else except GD, just how deeply
you felt toward him and his work. I know his death grieves
you, and I sympathize with you."
11/28/45 GD's letter to Mrs. [
1523]:
Hugh Lynn left yesterday for New York, going by Washington
- he was to see Austin Rice this morning - he thinks Austin
is apt to come here and work with us Thank You, paying his
own way, etc. I hope so. He could take over all the detail
work that Harmon has been doing for the publishing company
and relieve me (I've recently taken it over so that Harmon
and June could give their full time to getting out the Nov.
and Dec. Bulletins). I've also stencilled the last WRE, etc.
I'm not going to continue doing all the bookwork on the
TECPC, though, as the Ass'n needs my special "gifts" and
TECPC can get by with any good clerical person.
After having H. L. go over their readings with them, Harmon
is about decided to try again for Harvard. H. L. thinks he
can get in, in January, if he makes the proper approach and
doesn't scare them to death by saying he wants to specialize
in psychic phenomena, etc. Anyway, we'll see. If he gets
in, I'll put it in my DL and ask the help of all the Boston
members in "seeing him through" etc. They have an ad. in
for the sale of the trailer but haven't succeeded yet in
selling it - he will probably have to take a loss - he's
considering it.
Oh, I must tell you that the other day while fixing lunch,
who should walk in but [
2508], asking for "Miss [
1523]."
I invited him in and he spent about thirty minutes in the
kitchen with me while I was mixing up salad (and he making
fun of it). He said he'd been drinking and had the courage
to appear - had just come from ..., by the way. I told him
you'd probably be here at Xmas and for him to come by then
and celebrate with us. June and Harmon came in and met him,
and also Gina. They were all very glad for the opportunity
to see and talk with him. He was flabbergasted to find out
Harmon was a minister and that Gina was a Ph.D. He insisted
that Harmon go have a beer with him - Harmon would have done
it, I think, if he hadn't been so rushed working on the
Bulletin. I had on my green wool jersey which fits me skin
tight, and he remarked on the fact that I had developed some
curves since he saw me last - that I looked much better than
when I was just a bean pole. I told him he never had really
looked at me before, because you were present. He said, "Aw,
don't give me that! You know better - that's why [
1523]
divorced me, because I couldn't keep my eyes off other gals!"
They all thought he was completely charming and could see how
you were in love with him.
12/07/45 Mrs. [
1523]'s letter to GD:
I was quite amused with the story of [
2508]'s visit to the
office. It certainly sounded just like him. How did he
look? I don't suppose he said anything about his eyes.
I read your letter to "[...]" and he got quite a laugh
out of the part about [
2508]. He says he's really looking
forward to meeting him some day. I suppose [
2508] was up
here for the game that being the occasion for his passing
through...
I think that [
2803] and [
1710] will go to her home for Xmas,
though it is not definite as yet, consequently I don't know
just what I will do - I may go with them. In any case I
don't plan to come home Xmas. [...] and I are beginning to
shape up our plans for the future and we will spend as much
time together from now on as is possible - or in order.
Gladys I have picked up some weight since I'VE been here.
My face has rounded out so that I can notice it also my neck
and arms. Roses have come back to my checks [cheeks] too,
and it has been a long long time since I can remember having
very much color in my face. I don't plan on continuing to
gain weight, however. [...] has also gained weight - to be
exact five pounds in one month. It is very becoming to him.
I think within another year he will have gained another ten
pounds. With extra weight he looks more handsome than ever.
We have been going to the different churches trying to find
one in which we really feel at home. So far the Presbyterian
church is in the lead. They have some very lovely churches
up here - you would love them Gladys. Most of the choirs
have at least 25 people in them - and some of them more. We
haven't been to the Catholic church as yet but plan to go
soon. In all probability we will go there for high mass -
Xmas - that is if we're here. Gladys, it snowed here Tuesday
and Wednesday and since [...] and [
1710] [GD's note:
Mr. "[...]" had taken [
1523]'s brother, [
1710], into business
with him. Mrs. [
1523] thought perhaps Mr. "[...]" had been
one of her 17 husbands in the Atlantean period and the father
of [
1710] who had then been one of her 17 sons.] couldn't
work we tramped around in the snow - bought pop corn and
nuts - went through all the ten cent stores right along with
the bobby-socks crowd. It was such fun...
O, yes, I must tell you the dream I had about Mr. Cayce.
It seemed that he appeared to me - though I was very
conscious of his being on another plane - that is, there
seemed to be a gulf between us and he seemed to be standing
on a cloud so that I had to look up to him when talking
with him (I imagine it was like the parable of Lazarus
and Dives). He just looked grand. I asked him how he
was feeling and he said fine. I asked him if I would ever
see him again and he said yes, he would visit me again. I
had the feeling that it wouldn't be anytime soon, but that
when he did come back again, that I would ask him to get
[...]'s life reading for me. He seemed to know what I had
in mind. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could get his reading
that way?
1/11/46 "Confidentially, I'm getting a little tired of this
three-dimensional set-up. Except for [...] I probably would
feel like changing environment."
4/01/46 "[...] is still his very sweet self... We're so
anxious to get things straightened out so that we can really
begin our lives together... It's so wonderful to have
someone with whom you can plan and talk even if there is a
difference of opinion. Imagine what an experience that is
for me, Gladys - after eight years with [
1650] during which
time I could hardly express an everyday thought."
3/01/47 Mr. [
1650] wrote [
1523] describing the beauties of
Hawaii. His letter began: "I am sure you will agree that
the period where, or during which, correspondence between
us would be looked upon with a jaundiced eye has passed and,
further, the physical separation by about six thousand miles
of land and water would temper any implication that might be
assumed. Intuitively, and woman-like, you know that I have
thought about you and I hope you have felt that they were
thoughts of increasing respect and admiration and concern
only with your well-being."
3/20/47 Mrs. [
1523], sending above letter from [
1650], wrote
also: "By the bye - [
2508]'s wife is pregnant again. Maybe
they will have better luck this time...
"Things between [
2803] [brother [
1710]'s wife] and myself
aren't at their best just now. Isn't it strange, Gladys,
(or is it?) that everyone I've taken special pains to help
has turned around and thrown it back into my face - with
the exception of [
3479] [another sister-in-law, [
4930]'s
wife]. Thank goodness I learned (through the Ass'n) not to
hold malice, resentments, etc., or I would be in a fix, eh?
Karma can present itself at the most unexpected times - and
usually when one thinks that everything has been figured
out."
11/24/47 "Everything is going very nicely with both [...] and
me - as a matter of fact he surprised me with bringing me a
car - which is to be my very own. 1946 Dodge club coupe -
just the style I would have chosen above any other. That
will be my birthday, Xmas and wedding present - for it won't
be long now before the latter will take place."
1/15/48 How about the enclosure for the [
2508] file! Did
I tell you that last year when I was in the mountains, I
dreamed that [
2508] came to me and said that he didn't want
to have a child unless I would be the mother of it. I talked
with him and explained that he should fulfill his life in
every way with someone else, that our lives could not again
be shared in this incarnation. I told him that he would have
a child - or I should say - I told him that he would become
a father - he turned and went away - apparently not wanting
to go.
The enclosure - announcing the birth [
9/19/47] of their son,
[...] - was sent to me by [
3479]. The night before it
arrived, I dreamed that I talked with him again, and told
him that his child would be born in the month of November,
but that I didn't know whether it would be a boy or girl.
The dream was very vivid, so you can imagine how I felt when
I opened [
3479]'s letter, to find the enclosure - the very
next day - morning to be exact - before nine. It is so
seldom that he ever crosses my mind, it struck me as being
very strange that I should dream about him at all. The last
time I dreamed about [
1650] - it was a night mare - I dreamed
that he was trying to - to put it delicately - "take
advantage of me" - and I was begging him please not to put
his hands on me. Ain't that something. Gosh, this sounds
as though I dream about [
1650] frequently. When in fact I
don't. About twice in the last year, I guess - I can't
remember.
5/26/48 GD's memo to [
1523]:
Extract from Encyclopedia Britannica 11th edition under the
title CONTI, Princes of:
"Louis Armand de Bourbon, prince de Conti (1661-1685), eldest
son of the preceding [Armand de Bourbon, 2nd son of Henry II
of Bourbon, prince of Conde, and brother of Louis, the great
Conde], succeeded his father in 1666, and in 1680 married
MARIE ANNE, A DAUGHTER OF LOUIS XIV, AND LOUISE DE LA
VALLIERE."
5/26/48 Note to Mrs. [
1523] by GD: [
1523], finding that
Joseph le Conde was born May 13th, being listed as the
famous man born on that day, we looked him up in order
to see what type of person had the same birthday as little
Gregory Cayce (Hugh Lynn's new son). In tracing down the
information I came across the above information. I thought
it was especially interesting since, in
340-15,
10/17/31,
her life reading, the indication was given that her name
was Conde back in France a long time ago and that it was
the origin of the CAYCE family.
9/14/48 She wrote of her pledge to the E.C.F. campaign for
funds, then her mental turmoil: "Numbers of things have
been literally forced to my attention - the change
is inevitable - of that I feel certain now [break with
Mr. "[...]"?]. The time is fairly short, I believe -
and of course everything points to my returning home,
though my heart is heavy, and my body oh so tired from
the continuous conflict of mind and spirit - for the past
days, and days and days... I am sick with disappointment...
It is a bitter experience to take the backwash from three
incarnations - Dearborn, France and Atlantis. Perhaps
[
2803]'s contribution is a blessing in disguise, but it does
not lessen the hurt - just now. May God forgive her that I
too may be forgiven. I have thought of asking to be put on
the prayer list, but so much of the time I find it difficult
to pray for myself, for in my turmoil all that I seem to be
able to do is to repeat over and over, 'God help me.' There
is really no one to blame, except myself - as I so well know.
Now that the full force is upon me, my own weakness is so
appalling as to drain me of physical strength, for I now
weigh only 119 lbs., though I am taking vitamins and forcing
myself to eat." [GD's note: Evidently the situation
cleared, because no further details are revealed in her
subsequent correspondence.] [See Health report under
1523-17.]
6/09/49 She wrote of her marriage to Mr. "[...]" and gave
their new address.
7/26/49 So Tom Sugrue is in D.C. now - be a good time to tap
[
1650] for a donation. I heard when I was home - through
[
4732] that [
1650] called Minnie Doyle to tell her all about
his new wife. Isn't that amazing? All the people he
objected to my seeing - he has made it a point to seek out
since we separated. He probably doesn't understand why he
has the urge to behave thusly himself. I understand that
his new wife is a red-head (as was his first) - and some
older than he, - what ever age that would be. He is still
with the government, making a nice salary, and should be ripe
for a nice touch. Hugh Lynn could handle it very, very
nicely, I'm sure. [
1277] tells me that he is in the Pentagon
building - and no doubt he can be gotten by phone, via
information, if not listed. Speaking of my X's - [
2508]
is living in ... (somewhere - new section - [
3479] tells
me). The son produced of that union is a duplicate of
[
2508] even at this early age, which pleases [
2508] no end,
naturally. Seems as though [
2508] has quieted down
considerably, his wife being quite some younger than he is,
would prefer a bit more activity. Seems as though [
2508] is
on the road for the Ford Company, and made it a point to call
on [
2385] twice while in ... Could be he would consider a
donation if properly approached, and by the right person.
He should, the rascal.
7/27/50 [
2508] had spent the night with [
4930] and [
3479],
and was on his way back to ... where he now has a Ford
dealer-ship - married for the third time, - a son almost
three years old. We must have talked for an hour and a
half. Reviewing his venture in the army of World War Two
- saying he wished he were young enough to get into the
army again, that he just loved it. Had complete freedom
while in the service, getting away with many things, ignoring
restrictions, etc. Was stationed in St. Petersburg, Fla. -
and that was his favorite spot - didn't like Miami Beach,
though thought it very beautiful. Said that he no longer
cared about women - that his wife [...] - though a very
nice girl - well, he just didn't care about her either.
Seemed to be interested in occasional conquests. Commented
- "I'm just common, [
1523], I just can't help it." Invited
me to have a drink with him - he'd buy me a bathing suit -
and we'd go swimming. No interest in present husband, just
wondered if [...] knew him - Spoke of [
1650], and remarked
that he would not trust that so and so - that he was no
friend of mine, and thought he should be investigated for
communism [[
1650] now in D.C., Pentagon Bldg.].
Recently elected president of Lions Club; doing very well
in business - very much elated about his work - completely
wrapped up in his son.
Remarked that "Anything that doesn't come easy to me, I
can't mess with - it brings my head hurt to think - or try
to think." Is going to bring his son by for me to see - says
he is a perfect physical specimen. [See also
2508-1
Reports.]
GD's note: Contrary to the advice of the reading,
Mrs. [
1523] returned to live in close proximity to her
parents. I think she felt a sense of duty and
responsibility. See Reports in parents' files ([
1541]
and [
2051]) on how she nursed them through illness and
subsequent death - 1957-1964 - a seven year period of
servitude. Out of it, she says, has come a better
understanding and a fine relationship between her sister,
[
1548], and herself. In fact, in talking with [
1548] one
day she told me that she considered [
1523] an angel, no
less.
See
11/02/62 and
2/21/64 dreams of [
1523] (below) predicting
her parents' death.
November 2, 1962, early Friday morning I had the following
dream:
My dog "Fang" and I were walking across the yard in front
of my home at ... I noticed that where I have a row of
myrtles there was a brick wall, one that I could see over
- about four and one-half feet high. Fang and I walked
on the outside of the wall and turned toward the west. As
we walked parallel with the wall, I noticed at the center
a niche in which there was a rabbit - a mother rabbit. She
was dead and her body was stiff, yet there were three baby
rabbits trying to nurse and I knew that the only reason the
rabbit was staying in place in the niche was the fact that
the baby rabbits were trying to get food. The lower part of
the mother rabbit was exposed and the organs could be seen.
The stomach of the rabbit was hanging from the mouth. Fang
ran toward the rabbit barking and started to attack the
rabbit family, but when I commanded him to do so he stopped
short of disturbing them. I walked over to the niche, picked
up the three baby rabbits and when I took them in my hand
they turned to small white balls of fur and they were as
light as a feather.
When I awakened from this dream my skin was tingling. I
couldn't say I was shocked, but I couldn't get the dream
off my mind. Finally on the third day I figured out what
the dream meant; specifically - that my father would pass
on in either 3 days from the time of the dream, and it
couldn't be that for we were already in the third day -
or 3 weeks or 3 months. I reasoned that he could not stay
3 months, and decided that 3 weeks would be the time the
dream indicated.
1. The myrtle which my father had helped plant - was now a
brick wall. (crystallization & civilization moves westward)
2. The mother rabbit's body pictured the condition of my
father's physical body.
3. The mother rabbits body also indicated to me that the
passing would be quick.
4. The stomach hanging from the mouth of the rabbit indicated
that the physical break-down would come at the esophagus,
cutting of the air, thereby the quick passing. (This
happened) [
11/22/62]
5. The three baby rabbits symbolized the birth into (and
from) the spiritual - (from the earth plane).
6. The three baby rabbits also indicated the time element
of passing and the quick passing.
My father passed on just three weeks from the date of the
dream, Thanksgiving, 22nd of November, 1962. The death
certificate was made to read heart failure. Actually the
doctors had pronounced his condition cancer, three years
previous. [See other Reports on 2051-7.]
On November 12 I told our business mgr. that according to
my dream I would be out of the office for two weeks. That
my father would pass on Thanksgiving Day. I returned to
work November 26 - just two weeks from the day I had taken
leave. I told three other people when to expect my
father's passing: my sister [
1548], my niece [
2695],
and Mrs. Beverly Hall - a friend who lives at Va. Beach.
2/21/64 Dream of [
1523]:
I dreamed that I was out back of my home at ... with a few
members of the family. I saw this man coming around the
corner of the house toward us and as he came in full view
I recognized him to be my father. I said, "Oh, there's Papa"
- the others said, "No it isn't" - they didn't recognize him
at first. I ran to him, threw my arms around him and told
him how much I love him and how much I miss him (my emotion
did not seem to effect him). In a moment, he said, "I'm
going fishing and when I come back I'll take Mama with me"
As he said this, I knew he would be going deep-sea fishing.
The dream awakened me and I was crying and my face was wet
with tears.
Note: Rarely ever was I demonstrative with my mother and
dad, and never to the extent that I was in the dream.
Never in this life time did I know my father to go fishing.
I consider the symbols in the above dream to be significant.
Perhaps this is the first in a series of dreams to prepare
me for the time of my mother's passing.
9/24/64 Her mother died - see details under [
1541] series.
9/16/67 Her beloved brother [
1710] died suddenly of a heart
attack.
9/06/69 Her brother [
4930] died suddenly of a heart attack.
1/22/70 She reported: "My ex-husband [
2508] died at 10:30
this a.m. in a hospital at ..., N.C., where he had been for
two weeks or more. He had given up, and when they tried to
give him intravenous feeding - he would remove the needles,
etc. Even though he was quite broken physically, this
indicated something that was so much a part of his attitude
with regard to many other things in his life. Probably had
an aversion to needles anyhow, from his past incarnation in
France."
