Time of Reading 3:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Va. (Giving dream suggestion)
1. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, EC, this we have had here before.
2. Dreams come to this body as to other individuals, and - as has been given - more especially to this body as experiences that the entity, the body consciousness - applying same - may GAIN the better understanding of conditions as they arise. And these - applied in the way and manner designated through the various experiences or visions of conditions as presented - will prove beneficial, and should be followed closely.
3. Ready for dream.
4. (Q) Morning of Friday, 1/20/28. I was in Nashville - went down a road and into what looked like a river bed - got lost and couldn't get out - when I climbed to the top where there was a fence I realized that even if I could get over it, it wouldn't put me back in the road. I wondered why I didn't see the fence when I came down this road and walked off into this place.
Finally I went back and found where I should have turned. I went into a sort of mining place - met Johnson Bransford - he said he would be back to see me in a little while - passed thru a room which seemed to be where they were prizing tobacco.
In the next room I laid a five dollar bill on the counter and also a piece of paper. I walked away a little and noticed that crowds of people were around the counter. I went back to see about my five dollars and found it was still there. I walked away again.
Met a man I seemed to know and he knew me - it seemed all knew me - he said I should get in touch with Whiteford Cole, that he needed me. I said I didn't write to people first, but he said I should write to Cole. Went back to the

counter and found my five dollars after searching a little, but there were piles and piles of bills on the counter of large denomination. Each had a paper with it. One man said he left his bill there because he couldn't get it changed - that it was a thousand dollar bill. I picked it up and noticed Johnson Bransford's name on it. The man said Johnson Bransford was now registrar of the U.S. Treasury.
I walked back thru the room I came in thru and met Mr. Tressler. He was in a terrible fix and wanted me to help him out. It seemed it was Montgomery then. Crowds of people were coming to have pictures made. Room was full of smoke and steam and all torn up.
Someone came and told me Johnson Bransford was waiting to see me.
As I went back thru the other room the same man told me not to forget to write Cole.
(A) Here we have presented in this manner, as it were, the emblematical conditions respecting the contemplated trip, and trips, as experienced by the body, and the outcome of same. There is seen that the way was once clear for this understanding with Bransford as to the work being attempted. Yet the changes have come as presented by the body being lost, as it were, in the attempt to gain the road, or way back seemed or appeared to be barred, even though the body were able to get through or around the obstruction.
Then there is seen the reasoning, as it were, with self as to what should - or as to what was the occasion that the body was lost in this manner.
Then, as seen by returning in the same manner as the body was LOST, the body gained the access to the place where the individual was seen - Bransford. And there again the body apparently becomes interested, yet deferring the time when the body would converse or talk with the entity as respecting those things sought. Yet, as seen, many were interested that the body or entity did not know, even knew anything concerning same, and the body seemed to spend or to lose, or risk moneys for the purpose of waiting, delaying, or seeking the interview.
And this as seen represents that the body, then, should wait
294-105 Page 3
- or act very much in the manner as seen in interviewing and gaining the audience again of the individuals who were, are and need to be interested in that being attempted.
And, as seen, once interested, many others would be also, even reaching into the realm where apparently many peoples piled, as it were, moneys of high, intermediate and low denominations, seeking to be associated with this same undertaking.
Again the condition is presented in that association with another individual whom the entity had contacted, and where close relations, where even much depended, much was given, much was expressed by the body. The entity needs again that counsel, that association - and, as seen, large groups would listen and be drawn to the entity for the aid.
Then as seen, here is presented for the entity two contacts or connections and associations that should be considered, and even time, money expended to contact these associates again, that these may be associated even to the extent that peoples in high places - even as of the treasurer of large institutions - even in political and in high places - may have the opportunity of knowing that being attempted. Act, then, on that seen and given.
5. Ready for questions. [After pause]
6. We are through with this reading.
