1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [538], present in this room, and the dreams this body had on the dates 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, [538]. This we have had here before. The dreams, as we see, come through those channels as have been outlined for the entity, and may be used for by same in the way and manner as has been given. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) January 11, 1927. Dream regarding [900]'s book being read and discussed, Mama's and [341]'s severe criticism, [294]'s silence, and [288] waiting to side with [294]. I wanted to read the copy to the book, and [288] said she had put it way. Then offered to get it for me, and I offered to go out with here, and upon opening the case a terrible feeling came to us both. We closed the case without getting the copy, and came back around the house instead of going back through it. [900], [136], Mamie [...], and others were in grounds, and Mamie was doing the handspring, dressed in white. Later I saw myself in knickers. Other dream regarding [195] and others. (A) In this there is seen the interpretation, through the subconscious forces of the body, of conditions that carry through the mental force of the body conditions as are set from physical force.
The book and the subsequent conditions surrounding same is as the attitude felt by the entity or body respecting action of individuals, and when the actual seeing, viewing of same begins, there is seen that there are terrible forebodings as regarding conditions as are produced or brought about by the unseen forces, see?
These, then, are as emblematical conditions, using those forces as are seen and known of the body respecting as the

various conditions as may be wrought in the mind of individual through the study of the various phases of phenomena, producing a change or a variation of actions in the mind of individuals, see? Hence, as is seen in following same, that un-action of individuals may be wrought by the action of mental forces as respecting individuals, and as seen, some apparently become unbecoming to others, and others as appearing freakish, or in an abnormal way and manner, see? or not normal.
Then, as the lesson as is seen: let the words of thy mouth, the meditation of thine heart, be in keeping with that as is consistent within thine own thought, action, and deed. See?
In the other we find the same elements of conditions, presented from the different angle - for, as we find, the combination of individuals - each as aiding or abetting - and seemingly the uncomely conditions appear as but the NORMAL condition, and as that that would be considered right and nothing unbecoming. Now, correlating these two conditions, we find the entity finds itself viewing, then, that wherein when one would condemn they find condemnation arising from within, and one that condemns, then, is as one condemned, see? Ready for questions.
4. (Q) In what specific way does this conditions apply to me individually? (A) In that the entity sees own thoughts and expressions as respecting individual action given before the mind's activity in this manner, that which may bring to itself condemnation - even when not condemning or being condemned.
5. We are through for the present.
