1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring man.

3. Inquiring man. In this connection, [341], my son, come sit here beside me and I will give you an insight into this experience that, applied in the life, will bring to you and your understanding a fuller, larger, and broader conception of that experience as you are aware of that is often manifest through ...[294]. Now you know, in my own last experience I knew much of your thoughts and determinations in the life, and have often watched with you and over you in the studies as you have contemplated those things as pertain to the psychological studies, or psychology in its making, and in these studies there has often come to you those flashes of the little things we spoke of at times, especially just after arm was in place. Now you have seen with the mind's eye those experiences of both the applied psychology as man determines same, through that of an overtaxed mind mentally coming to a sudden halt, or realization of how little, or how short is the vision of man's experience. In this experience as seen, when there is the halting between the ethereal or cosmic, or unknown energy and that of the reality, there comes the dread of seeing what lies just beyond; yet the realization of the existence of the beyond becomes as real as the last conversation with the body or bodies that were seen in this experience; yet also there is seen the surrounding conditions of which you well know that I held as one of the drawbacks to a young man's development, this of intoxicants in the body, deadening, deranging, or expanding the mental faculties to such an extent as to burn them out; yet in mine own experience these, under other guises, I often indulged to the extent that in the end they took their toll. Then this the greater lesson, my son, to gain from this experience. Use - USE - all the faculties of the mental,

material, the cosmic, the ever ready sensuous forces, but never allow self to abuse that mental body in any respect, would the body gain cognizance or consciousness of the associations that lie between the abilities of the mental being and of the body mental in the cosmic or in that force, that vibration, that is ever ready for expression as those are in the material plane. Then, be not afraid of that that may be seen. Keep self, body, mind, pure and clean, and you will find the greater flow of consciousness for good that may be attained in a material world. Yes, this is Gay [Samuel G. Gay, M.D.], and I will speak with thee again.
4. We are through.
