1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [137], of ... St., N.Y. City, and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you.

2. (Q) March 6, 1926. Hudson Motors seemed to go way up - began to rise. (A) This, as we see, through that way and manner as has been presented for this entity, is as of the correlation of the subconscious forces with the mental studies of the entity, the information as has been obtained mentally and otherwise, and the entity sees or visions that at or near the 12th to 14th there begins the greater rise in this particular stock. Take advantage, then, of same.
3. (Q) Thursday night, March 4, or Friday morning, March 5, 1926. My mother came home from a party crying and feeling very sad. (A) Reverse these, and we will have those conditions which are being presented in the life of the individual entity. As these come in from these conditions; that is, from the party, the mother, there will come into the life of the entity, [137], that which will bring a sadness, in a manner, to the entity; yet, in the after times, better.
4. (Q) The lily at which I was looking, while I was looking at it, it burst open and something seemed to grow out of the flower. (A) In this there is again being presented to this entity that development, or that study, which is presented in no uncertain way and manner, will the entity but, mentally, take this as presented, in the way and manner as life and life's development spiritually are being presented through that of the lily. As is seen, in the seemingly uncouth and uncomely herb in the muck, the root puts forth itself to obtain from this muck that which the entity sees burst forth in its beauty and fragrance. From whence cometh this? From that spirit force as has made the lily for the pleasure of

the man sense, when used and applied in the manner to better understand and comprehend the Giver's PLEASURE in man, WHEN man does coincide with His laws; showing at the same time how man may abuse same to his own detriment. Good lesson. Take it. Learn it.
5. (Q) I was out to an affair and when I left I could not find my silver topped cane. I looked everywhere and then I finally remembered I had not brought it with me. (A) This is presenting, in this emblematical way and manner, to the entity, those same lessons as have been given concerning this cane, that in the entity's action; that is, by the way and manner THROUGH which the entity OBTAINS aid, help or assistance, as cane presents to the physical forces of entity - as a show, or as an assistant, see? and as these lessons are gained; that is, that are helps, as show assistance to the entity, in the way and manner same are applied to the entity's life do these BRING the help or aid, either in show only, or in assistance, and as entity sees in the search for same, then remembers that he has not brought same with the body at the time, then KNOW, in mind, in act, how the entity receives that help, that aid, that gives the better understanding to the conditions and elements as pertaining to life, physically, mentally, morally and spiritually.
6. (Q) I walked into somewhere, where they were blowing a police signal. They seemed to be blowing for a taxi cab. I was afraid of the place and of the police. [GD's note: (the following not read) While walking, some woman, out of a window, talked about some religious theory.] (A) In this there is presented again, emblematically, to the entity, that dread, that in which the entity finds self, in dread of certain conditions as present to the entity from time to time, through relations with certain conditions as pertaining to the business of the entity. Rather as the warning - clear SELF through self's own consciousness, see? As again is presented in that as is following this, in which there is seen the call from someone whom the entity feels there is much question as concerning the reputation of the individual, just same as is presented (this emblematically) to some conditions wherein the entity may find self intrenched, though NOT ill meaning, but not understood, see? Then "Let the words of thy mouth and the meditation of thine heart be acceptable in Thy sight, my Lord, my Strength, my Redeemer."
