5. (Q) Monday Morning, 12/14/25. "We took a reading on one of [900]'s dreams, the one we had already given the interpretation of regarding [900], [137] and their mother coming down to see about some mix-up in reading, and in this one I told him that it meant just the circumstances as were happening, that while I appreciated what he had done, still he was too selfish about it and he had not left the work so it would expand, except expand [900], and he had forced me in a manner to become a beggar to him. "But now that we had an oil well we were not beggars to him any more and that this well had proven the work just as much as we would ever prove it on him, in fact more, because we had more than a year of data that had been kept in a systematic manner, and was being published. "I told [900] I wasn't falling out with him, because I now had money, as I would be willing to do anything for him whenever I had time, but from now on would have to wait on me instead of me waiting on him, and [900] threw a fit and cried and called [137] and his mother [106] and they pled with Gertrude. "And Miss [288] got mad and took sides with [137] and [900], and I told Miss [288] if that was exactly the way she felt about it, and toward the work, she'd better take her hat and go home.

"And while we were talking about it, Mr. [953] came in and told us the well had gone dry. Everybody began to give me the horse laugh, but [953] then laughed at them and said it broke out in another place, and that it was twice as big as the other one. Besides, [1180] and [4906] both had a well now and they just sent him to see what I wanted them to do. There I woke up." (A) In this we see there are many conditions presented to the mind of the entity, in a way and manner that is an emblematical condition of that, that is to happen in fact. [See 144-1.] And in the ways then as presented is seen that, no matter how the conditions are to be turned, that so long as [900] has the message to give, and is willing to give it, the entity should lend that aid to assist in same. Not as the beggar, rather as the channel through which the message may come. The conditions presented, as [to there] being the great amount of monies: Will be one in which there will come the question as to what is to be done with same. Then, as is seen, use same in the way and manner that same be not evil-spoken of. As seen in the flying off the handle, as it were, by the various ones: representing again a condition that is to become existent in the life of each. Then be forewarned by same and act in the way and manner that will be in keeping, as to how it has been given the entity should act in regards to same. For it has well been said, "Him whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mad." [Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, p. 175-a 11th edition: Whom the Gods would destroy they first make mad. - Longfellow: The Masque of Pandora, VI.]
6. (Q) What is the significance of Mr. [953] coming in, saying the well had gone dry, everybody laughing, then saying it had broken out again twice as big as the other? (A) The time, as given, will come when, seemingly, there is no use to wait; or feel that any good will come of the operations; yet, as is seen, all will produce, and there will come aid from all seen, directly and indirectly, from the operations of each, as given, see?
7. (Q) What conditions should each be warned of in reference to flying off the handle and getting mad?
294-53 Page 3
(A) Each as to losing temper, see?
8. (Q) What is meant by Miss [288] taking sides with [137] and [900]? (A) That just as given, see? she losing her temper too, see?
9. (Q) Monday Night, 12/14th, or Tuesday Morning, 12/15th. "Dream regarding King George and Prince of Wales." (A) This is the dream, see? There are many peoples who have become interested in the phenomena exercised through these channels in EC. And in the various places visited (as the exponent of the ways to assist in spreading the results of same), through the channel of friends this is sought, even the audience with the King and Prince: The acceptance in the way and manner as seen is the way it would be from the well thinking people. The seeing of one in a drunken state, and same being kicked, as it were, into oblivion, and becoming a spider as is kicked, see? Then the lesson, then the interpretation, as this: In the seeing of nobility, and of the acceptance in same, is to that fact and place in which the rise is to come toward the expounding of the work itself. This way that is accepted by same is seen as the way in which same will be jeered at by some. The putting away of these by the King himself, showing how that by right (not by might) will the good come from same, see?
10. (Q) Tuesday night, 12/15th, or Wednesday morning, 12/16th. "Dreamed of talking with King Solomon." (A) In this we find the entity in that manner and way in which the inmost forces of self seek the wisdom that is given to him of whom it has been said, "None shall rise that in physical will be mightier in wisdom than he." In this seeking, then, we find that attunement that should be used by entity in seeking out those ways to carry on the work as has been set before same; being wise in every way, without the weaknesses of the flesh as were in that entity, see?
11. We are through for the present.
