1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [341] of ..., Virginia, and the dreams this body had on the date which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained from each of these, as I read same to you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, of [341], with the dreams as we see that come to this body. With the mental expansion of the body-mind, there comes, we find, these correlating of the cosmic forces of entity with the spiritual understanding. And these, through the visions as are brought to the consciousness, may be used for the development of the entity in mind, body, soul - spiritually, mentally, financially. Then learn to use same, for through the correct use of those talents given may glory, peace, understanding and greatness of concept be possible in the physical plane. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Morning of October 23, 1925, at home. "Dreamed of preparing to make a speech before a large audience. It seemed to be a debate, and at first James [...] seemed to be the one who was my colleague. Later it seemed that Josephine [...] (a girl I know in Kentucky) gave me a note to give to [1005], who was in a room back of the platform and who seemed to be the one who was to help me make the address. I felt greatly disturbed about making this address, and on going out before the audience (saw all the audience spread out before me), I met my father and asked me if I didn't want him to hold my speech and prompt me while I made the speech. I replied that I had better keep the speech up there with me where I might read it if I needed it. Saw medals on board on stage. On opening what I thought to be my speech, I found it to be only some sheets of blank paper. I rushed up to the judge and told him that I couldn't make the speech unless I had it all written out. He told me I must make it anyway." (A) In this we find the mental-mind presenting, through this emblematical condition, those forces in the mental-mind

that are attempting the solutions that become necessities to the mental forces of the entity.
In speechmaking the entity sees, realizes, that condition that the body, physically, mentally, morally, is presenting to the world. The seeing of the various ones presents to the mind, the body, that concept, that change, that relation, the various individuals of different characteristics, of different environments, have upon the life in all its phases. The seeking of one to prompt the entity indicates those who would help or assist the entity in gaining that necessary for the success in life's ways. The refusal of same shows the dependence the entity gives in its own abilities. With the seeing of the open sheet presenting not that which the entity expects to do, to give, but blank, presenting that force that entity finds without the aid of those elements necessary to give the ways in life's pathway that confront the entity and from which these forces, these visions, are given for assistance.
The cry of the judge, the seeing of the medals, the awards, shows to the entity that necessity of being prepared. As has been given and as has been instilled into the mind forces the necessity of preparation for any force whatever that may be presented into the life of the individual, that necessity of being prepared to meet the conditions, mentally, morally, and in that oneness of spirit with Him who is the giver of all good and perfect gifts. For when that oneness is made, the entity sees, though same may be a blank in the eyes of others, through His strength, through His assistance, all becomes in that way and manner the success. Then heed it.
4. (Q) "I dreamed of being at a party or dance and of meeting there a girl, whom I've met, a Miss [...], and with her a boy I've heard her speak of as George. Later it seemed that she was crying, saying that George wouldn't dance with her and was acting curiously, and she wanted to go home. It seemed that I assisted her in some way. I don't remember whether I danced with her or took her home, one or the other." (A) Again in this we see presented to the entity that satisfaction as is seen in service to others, for though those whom the entity may contact are of the casual acquaintance, or only known by name, the service, even as the Master gives, brings that understanding, that feeling of satisfaction to the entity, to the Whole, that nothing else gives.
