1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [538], of ..., Va., and the dream this body had on the date which I will give you. You will give the lesson and interpretation of same, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body and the enquiring mind, with the dreams as come to the body from time to time. The body and the mind we have had here before. The dreams as we see come to the body, to the mind, and are the presentation to the mental abilities of that to which the entity, the mind, the body-physical, may attain through the adherence to those laws, those principles, those conditions as govern the entity pertaining to spiritual, physical, mental, development. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Tuesday morning, October 13, 1925, at home. "Dreamed [288] and I were shopping in a large department store in a large city. Bought many small articles. Saw in back of store large ocean pool water, very clear, full of beautiful shells. Did not gather any shells, as a railing was around the pool. Then dream changed. Was with my husband on street, passed a large store, seemed to be a radio store. As passed by store, several gentlemen were singing - the music was beautiful to listen to. Seemed their faces were familiar but don't remember who they were. Then as was walking down street felt I must walk, look and act a certain way, to attract attention, or be noticed, for something I felt I had (don't just remember). Then passed another music store, not quite as large as the radio store, in which a quartette of gentlemen were singing a beautiful song. Recognized one as [195] of ..., Ohio." (A) In this we find there are many emblematical conditions as are presented in the life of the entity at the present time. These, then, relate to mental attitudes and physical conditions that bring or cause those mental conditions, and as each is pictured to the subconscious forces of the

entity, by the correlation of cosmic forces as are experienced by the entity, bringing them the lessons as may be used and applied in the development of the entity, now, today, physically, see?
In the two together there is seen that in that many peoples will come under the influence, or be met, by these individuals, whom they (the two individuals) may guide and influence, see? especially when it comes to those that are about or near the sea.
As is seen in the view that is pictured in store, with the shells, as again those of the character of individuals, or the lives of individuals whom the entity may guard, may assist, may help, or pass unnoticed.
The seeing again on street, the radio store, and with one through whom the contact with such peoples are brought, gives then the feeling of the action, of the necessity of the individual, by thought, by speech, by work, by deed, must act in that manner in keeping, in at least that of the near to that necessary to show that being experienced.
As is seen in attempting to gather the attention of those who would bring beauty, joy, love, in the life of many, as is sent out over the waves, over the earth, see? for through same may much influence be yielded over many paces, many peoples, by that as is now attained, lived, acted, in the life of the entity, in the lives of those whom it contacts. And as is seen in the smaller group, that though the group is small in the beginning, and only one recognizable to the entity, this group, through nourishment, through self giving, will grow and spread and bring much joy to many, and to self, satisfaction in knowing there has been lived, there has been given, the life worth while.
