1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [137] 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, [137], here. The dreams come to the entity as has been given. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) Evening of December 11, 1925. "Emma came to the living room of my apartment and said to me: 'Look at this 7 year old girl.' I looked closely and saw it was [143]. She was dressed in a manner to make her look like a 7 year old girl. Her dress seemed too long for her." (A) This is an emblematical condition of those as presented to the entity in the correlation of conditions as are carried in the physical mind as regarding age, condition, position, and of those necessary conditions for the entrance of others into family, see?
4. (Q) "While asleep in our living room. I saw myself, saw myself asleep, and felt the presence of [140] at the back of the couch looking over me." (A) This, as we see, is an emblematical and an experience manner in which the entity is gaining more thorough understanding of that certain and full division as lies between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind and the visions of same. For in the consciousness entity may gain the vision of another, yet never the consciousness of self in an unconscious condition, yet in the subconscious self the physical may be seen and presence of another entity in conscious state felt by that consciousness of the subconscious, see? and in this emblematical manner is brought to the consciousness of the entity. Just an experience, that the fullness of the lessons as are being gained by the entity may be more fully understood by the consciousness (physical) of the entity, [137].

5. (Q) "I saw my father as he was on his death bed, and saw the following that actually occurred just before his death: The rabbi came in and said to my father, 'You are not afraid to die, are you?' He answered, 'No, I am not afraid, but I want to be with my family always.' It occurred to me that it was his creed to always be good to people while they are alive." (A) In this we find again the conscious mind of the entity, [137] gaining through experience by self of the subconscious and superconscious mind of self and of other entities. As the actual experience of the conscious mind is again viewed by the subconscious of this entity, the full import and the desire of a conscious mind in the physical world is seen and felt, pressed on to that point where time and space are obliterated, and the entity then finds that the consciousness as is felt and experienced by an entity in the superconscious state, when attuned to one desiring to attune with same, may, even in the physical plane, be experienced and aid gained in those things necessary for the fuller, greater, development of that entity, when used in the proper manner, for as in this, we see fully how the consciousness, as is now an experience to the father, may be brought to the consciousness of this entity, when in that condition wherein a physical consciousness is laid aside. See?
6. (Q) Is there indicated here any thought communication between my father and myself? (A) In the manner as given, yes.
7. (Q) Does this in any way enter into any of my life towards guiding me in my daily work? (A) Yes.
8. (Q) Is this rather my physical beholding an experience of those stored in the subconscious? (A) Both.
9. (Q) Night of December 11th, or morning of 12th. "Saw my own face. It seemed to have many more lines in it." (A) This, as we see, again that same presentation of those same conditions as being experienced by the individual entity, and this, as we see, is only a portion of that projection as is experienced. For in seeing self and the lines in face, there was seen also the passing of that termed, in the physical or material, or conscious world, Time, and this then gives as a lesson to the entity, to make use of the lessons being gained, for even as Time, much more is experienced in the planes other than mere flesh, see? Hence, prepare self for earthly, for the every sphere of development, while the entity has that ability to view these various phases from the various viewpoints.
10. (Q) Afternoon of December 12th. "It appeared someone

was away from Post #1 of the New York Stock Exchange and Edward Delafield and I took our specialist book to Post #1 to substitute for the absentee. We left our own Post and I did not want to go. While over there, away from my accustomed place, Woolworth Stock broke down in price to 185 or 195. I rushed over to the specialist and seemed I bid 185 or 195 for 100 shares and the specialist told me that [900] had already bought a hundred shares. I said that was a different order, that I wanted another hundred shares, because a previous reading had told me it was going up. I asked the specialist if I could stop 100 shares at the 185 or 95 mark and he said, yes, because 300 shares at that price were offered, so I told him to buy the stock at that price. The stock was bought but I am not sure at what price." (A) In this there is seen, in the same manifestation of forces as are seen in those as regarding development of self, those conditions as represent the action of conditions on the Floor of that place in which entity labors, physically, see? Then, we have those lessons as in same: First, in seeing the presentation of a post left, and of self with another entity taking charge of same for absentee, there will, within the next few weeks, be offered to the entity a position of trust that exceeds even the fondest dreams of entity at present. Be loath though to accept same. In the price as seen in this commodity, or this store stock, see - 185 - 195, we see again that of numbers, as are given, see - 8 - 1 - 5, 14 - 5 points off, see. 9 - 1, 10 - 5, 15 - 6 - 5 to 6 points off on this particular stock. As the taking of position and of closing stocks, that monies from same may be used in holiday use; then sell that held in this and buy at the new price, when opening again after holidays. See?
11. (Q) Does this mean that Woolworth will break down to 185 or 195? (A) 5 to 6 points, as we have given.
12. (Q) Should we sell the Woolworth shares [900] bought and repurchase at this price? (A) Sell and repurchase after the holidays.
13. (Q) While at Post #1, Mr. Howland asked for the quote on Columbia Carbon and I told him it was 52 bid offered at 52 1/2, with a big market, and that I had an order to buy 3000 shares at 51. Does this mean that Mr. Howland will have 3000 shares to buy at 51? (A) 3000 shares to buy at 51.
14. (Q) Should the stock be bought at this price? (A) Rather that of the entity having lessons given, than of
137-43 Page 4
using same for self's investment at the present time.
15. (Q) "I was comparing my sleep with Pacific Gas & Electric Stock. I noticed that I was sleeping soundly, and called the attention of this fact to myself. I reasoned with myself, that just as I was sleeping soundly, so Pacific Gas could also go up, even if the bulk showed no bid for the stock and appeared on the book like the stock for sale." (A) In this again we find those conditions regarding that stock in which the entity gives much thought and time, see? Then, in those days as have been given, when the advances are at the greatest (Tuesday or Wednesday this week), be out of the market on same.
16. (Q) "Heard some music of a banjo, but it was not being made by a banjo. Seemed to be made by wires similar to croquet wickets." (A) Near to that condition wherein the entity finds self, in this subconscious condition, reasoning with those thoughts that entity has given towards the development of an antenna for the tuning of some conditions regarding the receiving of tune, or banjo, or music, see? This will be followed later. This may be worked out, for the antenna would be set in the way and manner and give a more perfect reception and a better action on the receiving forces of radios. See?
17. We are through for the present.
