Time of Reading 3:10 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City, N.Y.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [136] of New York City, and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained from each of these, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [136]. We have had this here before. These, as we see, are those condition which have come to the mental development of the entity from time to time. They may be applied, may be made applicable in the daily life of the entity. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) Wednesday morning, November 25, 1925, at home. "I was sitting at a table eating but more than eating - I was packing it in. There was chocolate cake and cocoanut cake and all kinds of sweets and goodies - I just had a great time eating it all up." (A) In this there is presented to the entity, in this emblematical manner and way, the forces that are at work, as it were, in the physical being of the entity. That to the physical is as this: to hinder the desires, to hinder those natural inclinations and those better developments, for the physical to manifest in the physical world those normal conditions of same, is to bring on self those condemning forces of the physical being in the physical health in the material manner, see? for as is seen, the entity recognizes in this the opposite from that being enacted in the daily life, see? yet the entity sees that in this constraining of self these detrimental conditions in a fashion, physically, mentally, truly, are being brought to the body those condition that bring detrimental effects. Then eat more sweets, see? Not in excess, in moderation, for with all things let them be done in moderation, in decency and in order, and in a way keeping to these truths as set in the way as has been set for the law as is known to the entity concerning that necessary in self to bring the best normal

gift to the world of the position occupied by entity. Then do it.
4. (Q) Yet I have eaten very little of late. (A) (Interrupting) As given, these as have been followed, see? Comply with this as given.
5. (Q) "Back in our old house in New Orleans, I saw my old beau, J. S. I cannot recall the exact details of this, but I remember it referred to some trouble in which J. went into a room and took off his coat. Recall and interpret." (A) In this we find the mental forces of entity attempting to weigh in self's own forces those conditions as are apparent in the physical conditions of entity, as in relation to individuals, see, and is of a mental condition rather than that of an interpreting of forces as are manifest in the present life, for this should be acted upon through own mental forces and not from here.
6. (Q) "Was back in Deal as this summer with Ma and her cousin F. B. I had on a gingham dress and Ma said to Mrs. B.: 'Doesn't she look much better in that dress?' 'No, I don't think she looks well anyway,' replied Mrs. B.!" (A) In this again we find the entity attempting to find in self, in self's action, justification of conditions, of self's actions in the eyes of others, and in this way and manner the entity builds then into self those conditions that make for a barrier between individuals, through the small things or little things as regard action, as regard dress, as regard desire, as regard to the various conditions. Then, as has been given aforetime to this entity: Watch the tongue.
7. (Q) Friday morning, November 27, 1925 at home. "I was in an automobile accident and suffered an injury that seemed to affect my brain. It seemed to be a concussion. [900] was phoning Cayce for a quick reading." (A) In this we find this correlation of those conditions as have been presented regarding automobile accident - 42 - see, and as is seen, this is a warning to the entity of that force as may be applied in self, in that when, in the way as goeth about street, as goeth about auto, as goes about the modes, the manners, the ways of traffic, to guard by mental forces the action of same. As a warning of a general nature rather than of a specific accident, see? yet we will find, soon there will be seen by the entity an accident; not of self, someone else, see? Then care should be taken as regarding the actions of self, especially regarding cars, regarding traffic, regarding all those relations as being separated; that is, when alone, see? Then don't go alone so often.

8. (Q) "Went into store and asked for 10 cents worth of jelly beans and they handed me just 4 beans. 'Is that all I get for 10 cents?' I asked. They told me just 4. 'Well, then, how much are chocolates?' I asked, thinking to buy them instead of the beans. 'Three for $1.00,' came the reply. 'Just 3?' I asked. 'Three,' came the reply. 'Then you can keep your chocolates too,' I flatly stated an walked out." (A) This shows to the entity the inconsistency at times in self, as regards the various conditions that arise in the daily life, if the entity would but take the time to consider same from every viewpoint. For, as inconsistent as the prices are asked of entity, as inconsistent do many actions of self appear to others.
9. We are through for the present.
