1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [136] of New York City. You will answer the questions I will ask you regarding the physical condition of this body, after which you will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained by the body from the experiences of dreams had by this body, which I will read to you - answering any questions I may ask you relative to same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [136]. This we have had here before. The physical conditions of the body show that to the greater extent many of the suggestions as have been given for the physical well being, as well as the spiritual and mental side of body, body mind, and mental consciousness - have gained for the body much.
3. In those existent conditions regarding the motherhood, these, as we see, are being kept in the way and manner of the better development in many ways and manners. We would keep closer to those massages and manipulations, that will assist the body physically for that development of body, and the expansion of same toward those conditions which will prove so beneficial through that period - which, as we see, in its normal channel or normal manner, should come between the twenty-eighth (28th) of March and the sixth (6th) of April, see? Ready for questions. [GD's note: Her son [142] was born 4/4/27.]
4. (Q) Dream had afternoon of Friday, January 7, 1927. [900] was talking to a priest about his philosophy, about his viewpoint of life and God. The priest asked [900] how he had so interested himself in all this that he was talking about - how he had first become acquainted with it. [900] continued to talk and explain, as much as telling the priest to keep quiet and let him [900] do the talking. (A) In this there is presented to the entity, [136], in this emblematical manner, those truths as respecting the philosophy of the entity and, as is seen by the entity, in this vision there was felt something of the resentment toward [900], that he insisted on being the speaker rather

than the listener from one who might be considered as more of an authority than the one speaking. In the interpretation and lesson, then, as is seen, the body (body [900]), having gained knowledge from that source from within self, is capable of being the teacher, rather than the listener, and while it behooves everyone to be consistent in speech, the action and the attitude being a portion of that consistency, yet the ABILITIES of the entity surpass many of those that have sought philosophies from other sources than from within. See?
5. (Q) Any indication that [900] should NOT talk so much about his philosophy? Under what conditions? (A) No indications that he should not talk - only use a consistency with speech and action, making them one in accord with the other.
6. (Q) Night of 12th, 13th or 14th of January. Regarding the playing of bridge, I beheld standing in front of me right in the room, as real and living, the "Queen of Clubs." I became frightened and jumped for [900]. (A) In this there becomes the indication, through this emblematical way and manner, of the turn of thought, or the action of the mental mind as respecting those conditions in which the mental forces of the entity become so real as to bring these in an active way and manner, in figures or statues, or beings, with an activity.
So, as is seen in the emblematical way and manner, the entity gains from this that full concept of how that the mentality of the entity builds, little by little, that to which the subconscious mind is as the inner being, and as the experiences of the physical, mental mind are so stored, or so stamped upon the subconscious forces, each and every force taking its own action such as this Queen of Clubs represents in those games or those conditions in which such as the mental mind of the entity has engaged in.
Then the lessons would be rather that, as each and every force represents its own activity, bring each one to bear upon those forces as the entity would guide and make of itself. Or, as is seen, this represents to the mentality of the being - that is, of self - that upon which the mind dwells to the extent that it takes shape and form into beings that would take, as is seen, this that the entity sees. Again, as is seen, as the entity sees, as it sees such elements or forms, it, the entity, springs towards that source of protection in which the entity feels (and innately knows) has an understanding of such force.
