1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind here, with the dreams that have come to the body. These we have had here before, see. The dreams are that, that the entity may gain the more perfect understanding and knowledge of those forces that go to make up the real existence - what it's all about and what it's good for - if the entity would but comprehend the conditions being manifest before same. For as the visions in dream are presented, the inner forces of the entity, in no uncertain way, are presenting emblematical conditions to the entity for its study and for its good, see? Ready for dream.
2. (Q) Evening of November 5, or morning of the 6th. "We were all sitting around a table, eating chocolate cake. We got up and went into [4313]'s den. [4313] and Helen [...] and Mother [106], my mother and I, were all there. I sat on my mother's lap. Helen [...] put her hands through her hair to push it upward, with pained expression on her face. She felt very sad, as she had no mother's lap to sit on. I then got off my mother's lap." (A) This, as we see, may be to the entity as the correlation of conditions seen and presented to others, that the entity may gain from same that understanding of the feelings, the thoughts, the intents, the purposes, as may be seen, felt and experienced in the inmost being of others; and that, as the entity realizes through this vision, others have their feelings, their expressions, their conditions to meet. As they contact the entity, same should be taken cognizance of and the entity gain that sympathy that may be offered. For service should be the greater blessings, that each may be able to serve the other, see?
3. (Q) "A couple of us were walking out of the Rosewell Hotel in New Orleans. A woman came in, supported by two men, and fainted. She was very old fashioned and when she fainted she looked around and smiled, and then got up from the couch on which she fell." (A) This, as we see, presents

to the entity that condition as seen, again, in the feelings of others, as they attempt to put that forward which is (would be termed from physical forces) inbred in the being. For the entity must gain this knowledge for its betterment: That, that which will make the better forces, the better understandings to the entity is the intent which is seen in the lives of others that the entity contacts from time to time. And as the entity recognizes the old fashioned lady, the ability of entity to smile under the strained conditions, the attempt to arise when possible, the entity gains that which would bring to self through the same conditions those greater services as may be rendered to all, through taking cognizance of position, place, time, and giving self's compassion, as it were, to all. Do that.
4. We are through for the present.
