1. GC: You will have before you the bodies and the enquiring minds of [900] and [136], and the experience they had on the 4th day of April, 1927, in Women's Hospital, 110th St. & Amsterdam Ave., on the 2nd floor, room 3, New York City, with [136] and [900] alone in the room and the spirit mother [139]. You will give the interpretation and the lesson to be gained by these individuals from this wonderful experience. [GD's note: This was the birth date of their son, [142].]
2. EC: Yes, we have the experience here, and this as viewed from this plane is but another experience in the lives of these individuals, who are gaining a more vivid and a broader understanding of the oneness of the universal forces, and of how that the body consciousness of the individual becomes aware of the manifestations of the force as is seen through such experiences.
3. Much may be said regarding this experience, and many desire to give their interpretation of how this is accomplished, and many may give that information from their own consciousness. There are, as is seen in this experience, more than one consciousness that is aware of conditions that are manifested in such an experience - for, as is seen, the body consciousness of [900] is aware both of the consciousness in self that is of the material body and aware of the consciousness as experienced by that same sensuous consciousness being subjugated, and the cosmic consciousness making itself felt by the presence of the consciousness of the mother, and there is the awareness of the thought in the material manner of HOW such is being made manifest.
4. Now, from the viewpoint as is seen in and through the consciousness of [136], this becomes more of the personal nature, for the physical attributes are aware that the manifestation is not of the material production, yet same is made aware by the use of the sensuous faculties. Hence the divisions as are made through such information as being given regarding sensuous consciousness, and mental

consciousness, and of cosmic or universal consciousness - while, as is seen by the body conscious mind of [900], all consciousness is one consciousness.
5. Now, as to the information as given the consciousness of [136], this is rather that as experienced, than the sensuousness being able to tell how same IS experienced, and is felt rather than seen or heard, see? Leigh giving this.
6. (Q) How is it spelled? L-e-i-g-h? (A) L-e-i-g-h. Adolph Leigh.
7. Now the experience of the two is that as has been given by many in the interpretation of the cause, manner, and mode of spirit communication. And TO the subjugated the spirit assumes form, and has the faculties of the body that is known in the mental consciousness, yet to the other consciousness it presents only the manifestations known, and no form or voice, or any of the bodily conditions appear, save that INNER consciousness of the PRESENCE of another being, and that BEING that as is seen, felt, heard, known, by the subjugated consciousness. Ouspensky giving this.
8. Now, this experience is to the consciousness of [136] the rendering to the mental that as attained by the indwelling of the concentrated forces of the inner self, or the soul taking hold on the self in that manner as to make the one feel, and the other experiencing the trials of the hour, and the efforts of the other to obtain relief in the endeavors, and, as is seen, those conditions portray such a consciousness as makes to the body-mind the untenable idea of this not being real - yet is the most real of life - for in life in the midst of death - in death in the midst of life, see? Berger [Bergsen?].
9. In the experiences as are seen by these entities there is gained that knowledge of the fullness of life, as is found in ME, for, as has been given, "Lo, I am with you, even unto the end of the world." This, then, is that fullness of life as is found in Him who gave Himself as the ransom of many. For the way that leads to the more perfect understanding of life is that which leads into the valley of the shadow of the borderland - for, as is seen, the borderland is crossed by both that submerged and that absent from the body, taking on all of the attributes of the life in each, see? Jamieson.
10. "To [136] I have come, in that certain way that makes known the life after death." And the willingness of the mother is to ever be present in the mental attitude of the entity, to shield every though, every care. "Be thou faithful, then, in those lessons I have given to you, to [900], and to the baby [See 142-1 Life Rdg., Par. 22-A,
136-59 Page 3
23-A, 24-A, 5/15/27] - who comes from among us, and whom I have known before." [GD's note: Apparently this last message was from [136]'s mother, [139].]
11. We are through.
