Time of Reading ... Broadway, 11:25 A. M. Dayton Time. New York, N.Y.
1. GC: You will have before you the body of [900], ... Broadway, Room ..., New York City, N.Y. 11:00 A. M. New York Time. Also the dreams this body, [900], has had on dates that I will give you. You will give the interpretation of the dreams and the lesson [900] is to derive from these, and answer any questions that I may ask you relative to any of these dreams. First, the two dreams he had a few hours apart during the early morning hours of Wednesday, Nov. 19, 1924. [Re. filing papers, my integrity questioned]
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here and those dreams, as are called, that have come to the consciousness of this body.
3. First, in giving an understandable interpretation of dreams, or visions, or projections of a conscious mind and of the superconsciousness, from which dreams, or visions, may be obtained, we will give that producing same, that these conditions as have arisen may be understandable to this body, [900], as we are speaking of here.
4. First, there are dreams that are produced by conditions of the digestive system of a physical body. None enter in this at this time.
5. Then, there are those manifestations that come as the correlation of mental forces in a physical body to the mental forces of other bodies and conditions. These enter here.
6. Then, there are the relations of the mental with those of the spiritual conditions of an entity, from which the mental of a living physical entity may gain impressions. These also enter.
7. From the first condition as given, little credence may be given, save as to the physical condition of the entity gaining such impressions, for these are in reality dreams.
8. The second are such as those who receive such impressions would do well to study. As has been given, many receive such impressions, and might be benefited physically, mentally and spiritually by following or adhering to many lessons as are given through such impressions.
9. In the third we find many conditions wherein moral, physical, mental and spiritual aid is obtained for self and
900-13 Page 2
for others.
10. Now in the light of this, we find these impressions as obtained by this body, [900], on the morning of Nov. 19, 1924, are such as these:
11. This impression that come in this time was that of the emblematical condition existing between the mental capacity of the individual and individuals who were manifested in the vision or manifestation, and the interpretation and lessons to be gained are that, "Thoughts are Deeds" and often meet one when in the subconscious condition, where the real self is loosened to give manifestations of thoughts that have been harbored in the mind of each entity, and in this we will find the reference as given to conditions that partake of past experiences in the mind of each individual, and may be projected into conditions yet to arise.
12. In the next, as we find on the 28th of November [Re gay Catholic funeral, me crossing myself as though I were a Catholic* and not a Jew, dancing, etc., around coffin.]; still the emblematical condition and the projection of the same mental forces, yet partaking of conditions that exist only in mind, and can only become an imaginary reality. This we find partaking of material, mental and spiritual conditions that might affect the lives as lived by each entity, and is emblematical of the life of each individual as seen here, and not related, only as will come in thought of conditions that are to arise, which are creations of a mental condition, created by thought in the body, [900]. * [GD's note: Mr. [900] eventually became a Catholic.]
13. In the second, on this same day [Re black-robed figure facing [4313], who fell dead on sidewalk as I tried to get to her and help.]; we find still the emblematical conditions regarding the relations that might exist between individuals as seen in this vision, and the assistance that might be rendered physically, as given, in the emblematical way to the body, and as is shown throughout in each of these, a physical condition representing a mental condition in the body of each entity, representing the black emblematical of good that may come, or ever representing the lethargy of an entity when the will is not exercised in physical conditions that come to pass in the waking, or in the material sphere. This we find, the body, has had conditions to come to pass in the nominal, in the normal, in the material, in the physical, in the earthly sphere regarding the body to whom assistance was lent, that is emblematical of conditions that have come to pass.
14. In this next, as we find on the 10th of December [Re my
900-13 Page 3
father as I always see him in my dreams, paralyzed and sick in bed.]; the change in the emblematical, and becomes the lesson of the guide, as is and as has been shown and given, from which the entity, [900], may gain the better knowledge of the manner and way in which he may exercise his physical actions towards others in the material world, and lend assistance and gain strength from the guide's influence in the daily walks of life.
15. This lesson, we find, has to do with physical actions of the body, [900], that were in opposition to the lessons taught by the entity, projecting their influence, and the lesson is relating to those thoughts, those mental attributes for the spiritual, soul, development of [900], as received through those lessons. Hence the entanglement, the inability of the body to clearly gain the access to this lesson as was being given at this time; for the lesson comes then, the body, the entity, must keep mind, soul and body, pure, clean, unspotted from the world, presenting the temple, the body of the entity, holy and acceptable unto Him, WHICH IS BUT A REASONABLE service. Not in the body becoming a recluse, but giving of self, of body, of mind, to the developing of self and of others.
16. This, we see, the lesson gained here; just as we find the lesson in the one gained on the 12th [Re tall figure draped in white, around which were a vast sea of souls; his rebuke when I asked questions about God.]; the strong imperative that the seeking of the knowledge of the Father, of God, is correct, when used in the proper channel, yet may become destructive to self when gained as one who would become bigoted, or self-endowed with a superconsciousness of lording over others. Knowing then, in the humbleness of soul, of mind, of body, do we gain the manifold knowledge and glories of the divine reasons in the knowledge of the spiritual world, for God is spirit, and we must worship in spirit and in truth.
17. Then, the lessons we gain from this:
18. Let this entity know that AGAIN there is found in Israel him whom the gods have given the approach to the throne, even of the knowledge of The Holy One, and in all those relations let the will become subjugated to the will of the Father, that such knowledge as gained through dream, manifestation, vision, may be given to a dying world, and give that people who would approach the Living Way the Living Water, and may they be again established in the Holy Way that leads to everlasting; giving the inmost feelings, the inmost life, a feeling such as makes the countenance, the physical exhibition of body, of mind, such as all who
900-13 Page 4
behold may know THIS ONE has approached the throne and brought away the shining light, ever the light by night and the cloud by day; presenting self in that manner that all manifestations will become in the way that will lend strength, shrouding doubt, fear, disappointments, distrust, in the depth [in] such a way that only the true, the holy light, will shine unto the end, guiding many to the way that leads to life everlasting.
19. We are through for the present.
