1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [136], of New Jersey, and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you, and you will give the interpretations and lessons to be gained from each of these, as I read same to you.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, with the dreams this body has had from time to time. This we have had here before.

3. Now, we find the mind developing along the lines of the enquiring into the action of the conscious, subconscious, and the relation of same between the mental forces as applied in physical and those applied in the subconscious, the relation between the spiritual forces as are manifested and those of the physical as are correlated with subconscious forces in physical and spiritual reaction. Ready for questions.

4. (Q) Wednesday morning, July l, l925, at home in Deal. "Saw my mother-in-law in temple." (A) This, as we see, representing the approach to those forces as we have just given in relating the conditions between physical and spiritual, and as is exemplary to the conscious and mental forces; temple representing the spiritual element that enters into the conscious forces in the development of the mental toward any given subject. In this, the lesson as would be gained to this body, this mind: Harken often unto those precepts as would come to the body through these forces, in the same manner and way as if those precepts were given through the temple worship.

5. (Q) Monday night, July 6. "Saw myself going down a large chute into water. It widened as I neared the bottom and branched out in two directions. Someone said, 'It is four- teen feet there where you land. What will you do then?'" (A) This again is a physical presentation to the mental forces, as shown in the study of conditions regarding mind's action and reaction, and is given in a physical manner as to how the mental forces, as pictured descend or ascend to the various forces; entering, as it were, debts are beyond the mental reaction, shown in mental, yet physical, condition.

The lesson, then, as would be gained by the entity from this: study rather those conditions as would be gained step by step, and as the vision broadens, the possibilities of the usage of same comes with that development. Just as is shown in the body development for this individual, in the relations in physical contact and forces, the mind broadens to meet the needs of conditions as they arise, UNLESS WILL overrides, bringing destructive forces, when elemental conditions are just being understood.
