1. GC: You will have before you the body of [106] of ..., and a dream this body had Friday night, May 15th, or early Saturday morning, May 16, 1925, as follows: "Ma [106] and I [900] were in our cousin's home in Cleveland, Ohio. They were dancing and skipping around. Ma and I started to do the same thing, getting more and more active. Finally, to avoid collisions with my cousin, I swung Ma around and threw her face forward against the wall, hurting her face severely. Her face actually hurt or seemed to when she awakened." You will please give the interpretation of this and the lesson that may be gained from same, describing it in such a manner as will be understandable to her.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here and the dream as given. In this we see an allegorical condition, as is shown of conditions that have recently had to do with the relations of these families seen in the vision or dream. And the dancing and skipping we find representing changes or bickering of conventional opinions as have been passed to and fro concerning these conditions. The avoiding is the attempting, even at the expense of the mother, for the conditions to be arbitrated, or for conditions to be brought to the betterment.
3. The lesson is as this: Best that the conditions be considered from other standpoints, rather than bring hurt to the mind, face, or physical forces of the body itself. Rather let, as it were, the responsibilities bear upon the individual who did the hurt, than to place self in a position as the shield for those words, conditions or circumstances that would shield someone else. For the right is right, and not right to do wrong that right might appear to succeed.
4. As in all conditions of vision or dream, we find that the body, when attuned to physical conditions, the circumstance, the surroundings being such as to enter into those vital conditions that make and mar lives, that the subconscious forces, the mind of the soul, if you please, attempts to, through these means, clarify conditions for each and every entity. Then it remains as has been given:

5. Well that each individual attempt to correlate those conditions as do appear in vision, or through Urim, and bring same to consciousness, that the physical conditions may be developed and strength may be gained individually, that will assist in giving much to self's satisfaction (never to self-gratification), to self's development, to self's abilities to be of service to many. And rather than, as given here, allowing self to be abused that others may gain the lighter way, better that the understanding come that the hurt that would be brought to self would bring more condemnation to others than were the conditions guided aright and in the manner that the truth and the responsibility of the conditions fall where they should.
6. We are through for the present.
