1. MHB: You will have before you the body of Edgar Cayce, present in this room, and the vision this body had, in the psychic condition, on Sunday afternoon, December 19, 1919. [See details in 294-15, Par. B3.]
2. You will also have before you the dream recently had by this body regarding Mr. Linden Shroyer, the water running over the rocks, and separating the people in groups, and seemingly illustrating the character of the peoples by that surrounding the individual group, trying to catch the fish, which broke, and the effort to put same together again.
3. You will also have before you the dream had by this body, Edgar Cayce, Monday, Jan. 5, 1925, regarding the association of the body, Edgar Cayce, in work of the Institute, with the body, Morton Blumenthal, and the body Madison Byron Wyrick. You will interpret each one of these three dreams, and tell us what lessons we may gain from them.
4. EC: Yes, we have the body here, and the vision and dream as was had by this body at the times given.
5. As we see, all visions and dreams are given for the benefit of the individual, [if they would] would they but interpret them correctly, for we find that visions, or dreams, in whatever character they may come, are the reflection, either of the physical condition, with apparitions with same, or of the subconscious, with the conditions relating to the physical body and its action, either through mental or through the elements of the spiritual entity, or a projection from the spiritual forces to the subconscious of the individual, and happy may he be that is able to say they have been spoken to through the dream or vision.
6. In these as given, we find in the first [12/19/19 - See 294-15, Par. B3.] the vision of the existent condition in the physical plane, and this given in the emblematical way that should remove all doubt of any character regarding the
294-15 Page 2
material, the elemental of the mental and the spiritual plane.
7. In the first [Dream 1, Scene 1], we find the representation of a waiting world; all still, all dead, and as has been given, the day will come when those in the grave will have the gospel preached unto them. [John 5:25 - See Par. 17-A below.]
8. In the separation of the dead [Scene 2], and the showing of the religions of the world represented in one place, [India] we find exemplifying the need of awakening.
9. In the graves of France [Scene 3], that of the work [of Edgar Cayce?] begun, for we find those relations that existed in a material world projected from the spiritual world.
10. In that of the body finding the vision of the offspring of the material body [Scene 4], in the realm of the spiritual plane, this again showing that recognition from the spiritual plane of condition existent in a material world, or plane.
11. In that just passed into the realm of the spiritual plane [Scene 5], and represented by the fruits of the manifestation of love, thought, these show how the correlation of thought and deed in the material world may act upon those just entered in the spiritual plane, and not receded from the earth's plane.
12. In the last [Scene 6], the thought of the ability of those that are in the mental forces held close, which lend of their spiritual force in an earth plane, though receded from the earthbound conditions. [See Par. 18-A, below.]
13. This for the [12/19/19] vision. [See details, 294-15, Par. B3.]
14. In the dream of the water [Dream 2, Par. 2 above.], with the separating of the acquaintance [Linden Shroyer, etc.] of the body, we find the manifestation again in the subconscious forces of the water, representing the life, the living way, that separates those of every walk of life and about each entity, or group, there is builded that which radiates in an earth's sphere, or in a spiritual sphere that of the deeds done in the body.
15. In the representing of the fish, which is the representation of Him, who became the Living Way, the Water of Life, given for the healing of all nations, and in the breaking, and in the separation, yet will there be brought the force that will again make this the Living Way, the perfect representation of the force necessary to give the life to all.
16. In this of the condition [Dream 3, Par. 3 above.]
294-15 Page 3
regarding the material forces, necessary for the material manifestation of work on the earth plane given as a way, which many groups, through two individuals [Morton H. Blumenthal and Madison Byron Wyrick], may work out that necessary for the performance of much given in the vision and dream.
17. (Q) What is meant [Par. 7, above.] by those in the grave shall have the gospel preached to them? (A) That same condition as we see manifest through the spiritual entity again having that work presented in the earth plane, that they, the entity, may accept, or reject, that gospel.
18. (Q) Where do entities recede to [Par. 12, above.] after leaving earth's plane? (A) As was given, in that "Touch not, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father." [John 20:17] In the separation of the soul and spirit from an earthly abode, each enter the spirit realm. When the entity has fully completed its separation, it goes to that force through which the entity merits in the action upon the earth's plane, and in the various spheres, or in the various elements, as has been prepared for its (the spiritual entity) development, so the sojourn is taken, until the entity is ready for again manifesting through the flesh that development attained in the spiritual entity, for the will MUST be made one with the Father, that we may enter into that realm of the blessed, for, as has been given [Matthew 5:8], only the true, the perfect, may see God [Hebrews 12:14], and we MUST be one with Him.
19. We are through for the present.
