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, here, [136]. This we have had here before, the dreams which come to the body of the correlations of physical conditions, of mental conditions, as weighed, correlated through subconscious forces to and for the entity. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Wednesday morning, December 2, at home. "Dreamed I had bands on my fingers, which opened up into diamond flexible bracelets and that I had a whole arm loaded with diamond bracelets to my elbow. I was home at the time, going to college, and was so excited I decided to stay home and not go to school. I was dressed in my red sweater and skirt. My mother urged me to remain home and celebrate the good fortune and anyway I lost my schedule of my studies or hours, so could not go to college that day. I stayed home in excitement to enjoy the wonderful jewelry." (A) In this we find that in an emblematical manner presented, conditions physical, mental, that have to do with the body in its present development; also the warning as has been given. And these, when taken aright, show the developments in the physical and mental, and the abilities of entity to prepare self by not being lost in the maze of condition or speculation. For as we see the bands on fingers, and opening into bracelets, represent the conditions becoming existent in the physical forces of the body that have to do with the condition, these all as the knowledge of the forces as being manifest in that union, as is exhibited, shown, felt, known, classified by bands on fingers; opening, then, now, into that wonderful development of that to be occupied by entity in the arm full of jewels, as it were, from that union. And the losing of schedule, or
136-23 Page 2
lessons, as entity trains or prepares self for that condition, the warning to care for those emergencies in manner and way that the best physical, mental, attributes may be given that entity who will now depend upon this entity for its earthly manner of expressing or manifesting itself in the earth's plane. And the earthly contingencies toward the physical manifestation of same are dependent, in the greater part (though not wholly), upon the mental and the physical attitude of self towards same. Knowing that the mentality of self and the acquiescing of the necessary elements in physical development is in the hands of this entity, for its full time will be in the middle days in June, and a boy, see. That is, UNLESS the forces as applied in self are in direct opposition to that until sex formation is given in the embryo. [12/11/25 See 140-9, interpretation of similar dream of [136]'s bracelet by [140].]
4. (Q) Night of Friday, December 4, or Saturday morning, December 5. "I was to go somewhere on the train with Ma, but first was eating chocolates - chocolate malted milks, etc. Then went somewhere on train." (A) This again an attitude of the warnings, as seen in the entity's developing the movements in travel, the actions in eating; having then the physical reaction in that for which entity must prepare self.
5. (Q) "Others can't recall." (A) There are many various portions of ones that are seen in these, and all refer to the conditions about household and relations to individuals. These may be given again. Not sufficient in these to take the concept of that necessary to give as an expression to entity, without attaining same through some mental reaction or impression made by that action seen.
6. (Q) Night of Saturday, December 5, or morning of Sunday, December 6. "I was back at college and had just graduated. One of the girls in our class, who was elected president of the student body, said: 'I don't want to see anybody or say goodbye to them, because if I do I'll cry.' We all agreed upon her gross insincerity and false pose. 'She gives me a good pain in the toe,' I said. 'She puts on such airs. She just got to be president of the class because that has been her one ambition since entering college.'" (A) In this again, the student body, the college, the lessons, the conditions, emblematical forces as are presented and represented in the physical life of the condition at the time, and through which it is passing, and that position as is seen and as is experienced in the attitude of one elected, appointed, to fulfillthat office,
136-23 Page 3
and in this attitude as is seen the entity gives to that one appointed to such a high position. Then fulfill same in self to that office in which this entity has been set. Not in the manner of recluse, not in the manner of weeping, not in the manner of exaltation. Rather that as having found favor in His sight, and the channel through which His mighty forces will be made manifest, and that the entity will fulfillthat trust as has been committed unto it.
7. (Q) Sunday night, December 6. "Saw myself nodding my head in assent or approval to that which [900] was telling me at the time, which in brief was this: 'Man's spiritual capacity for happiness, consciousness, peace and love is infinite and eternal, but man's sensuous capacity for these characteristics is limited - has a beginning and an end, and thus are unreal in comparison to the spiritual and real faculties - i.e., the alpha and omega - the infinite beginning and end.'" (A) These, then, are truths and precepts that the entity should instill, install, within self, in the most inmost recesses of the heart and soul, that the mighty forces in self may give better service to man and to self, see?
8. Night of Sunday, December 6, or Monday morning, December 7. "Some girl was giving a Mah Jong party which I attended. I cannot recall the rest of this dream. Recall and interpret." (A) Immaterial - for only means to the physical forces. Ready for next.
9. (Q) "I had a $5.00 bill in my pocket and a $1.00 bill, making $6.00 in all. I wanted to buy [900] something, so I went in to purchase some ties. The store man told me they were 6 cents a piece. 'Alright, I'll take six,' I said, and then he went back on me. 'Of course, you know I was only fooling,' he said. 'They are $3.50 a piece.' 'Oh well, in that case I don't want them,' I replied. 'I'll buy jelly beans instead.' I went into a candy store and asked for 15 cents worth of jelly beans, but on seeing the bag of candy said: 'No, change that to 25 cents worth of jelly beans - that 15 cent bag is too small.'" (A) This rather indicates emblematical conditions presented through numbers. Also that as presented through the action of physical concept in physical action, and the various conditions existent in physical and mental, and life as at present. The having in the hand one and five, significant in the numbers as are apparent in their reaction, as has been given. And as to the relations then to others, be guided in the significance of the meanings in those as have
136-23 Page 4
been given. In the one going back on same, when ties are being attempted to be purchased, shows the relations as of the number five - six - to the entity in self; that is, to the one these being purchased for, and the turn then to self, and for self's physical satisfaction, and the rise from fifteen (one - five - six again, see? to self) to twenty-five (two - five - seven again), we find this then coming to that force as must be manifest in self for the special relations and conditions as regarding the entity and the entity seen and purchased for, that the better relations throughout these periods may be the more perfectly manifested, see?
10. That is all the dreams.
11. We are through for the present.
