Time of Reading 3:30 P. M. Dayton Savings Time. Deal, N.J.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900] of ... Road, Deal, N.J., and the dreams this body had on the date which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and the lessons to be gained from each of these, as I read them to you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the mind, the body here, [900]. We have had this before, you see. With the developments as we see are going on in the mind of this individual, there comes from time to time the various lessons that may be gathered and made applicable in the life of this body, for through the visions, dreams, as are had, with correlation of conditions that are thought of, studied, weighed, in the mental forces, the subconscious in its development takes hold, as it were, on such subject matter, such data, as is presented in the sleeping state, and through Urim presents same to the mind for the study of conditions, as the body, mind, of the body develops, for as has been given, this entity may give to the world those principles upon which the union and fusion of the great truths that would draw many, many men unto a better knowledge and understanding of those divine truths as are set in Him, for He is the Truth, the Light, and the Way, and all men may draw nigh unto Him and learn of Him (of God) through the understanding of the forces as are manifest in a physical world through the understanding that may be acquired in the mind of this body, [900].
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Thursday morning, July 2, 1925. "I saw three elephants, one small, one larger and the third the largest of all. Cannon balls were coming out of their mouths from under their tusks. They seemed to aim the missile at a target. One elephant, the smallest, seemed to be in distress, owing to a burnt mouth, which he rubbed in agony on his ivory tusk." (A) This in an emblematical way, as is seen oft to man, the elephant representing knowledge, power, incarnate in the animal kingdom. The seeing of the three, the different

phases of development, or three studies as are being made by the individual, the entity, [900], along a given line toward a given mark, or that of an understanding of elemental forces as manifest through these. The smaller representing the individual mind of the entity and the burn the attempt to aid self through the rubbing on knowledge as from ivory, representing the lack of understanding or the taking of individual thoughts as an excess in self causing the interruption in the gaining of the point, see? Then the lesson as would be given, as given in others: UNDERSTAND THAT the co-relation [correlation] of viewpoints as gained by the individual entity must be co-related [correlated] in self and given, expressed, manifest, for the highest vibrations are those that are individually felt, known, experienced, in self; a consciousness from within, or an inner consciousness of truth made manifest in self. Such may be illustrated in this: When an individual knows within their selves they (the individual) have done that which is right towards fellowman, in any undertaking, there is the inner self-satisfaction of the condition. As would be illustrated or made applicable in this: The three elephants representing three viewpoints of knowledge, the smaller attempting to gain the same perspective as other individuals who give information concerning same might bring injury to self, unless self's own application can be made to such conditions.
5. (Q) "We moved to Newark, N.J., to another residence further down town. I was at a meeting with others. It seemed to be at a railroad station. A man got up, put on a hood, like the Ku Klux Klan. He picked out certain ones, made them perform certain services. As he came to me, he said, 'The Ku Klux Klan.' I resented his ordering me, but did as I was told. Then many Kluxes came in army formation, marching us with them as prisoners. I rebelled and decided to run away, which I did. They chased me and I dashed just between two bayonets. Many chased me, and I thought to myself, that I thought moving down town would be nearer to New York City, if only I could reach New York City. Yet now that I was fleeing, a menace, it seemed very far away, as did my new place of residence, my refuge. One Kluxer in particular seemed to chase me with eager lust and hatred. He tried to corner me by going around the block, but I seemed to dodge him." (A) In this we find again the illustration of the mind giving to the subconscious forces that which builds the lesson for the conscious mind, or for the development of the individual. The persecution as apparent to the individual,
900-90 Page 3
for the lack of obedience to the mandates of those who are distasteful, distrustful, to the entity, shows how the entity attempts to co-relate [correlate] certain or particular physical conditions for self and to so turn mind into that channel of justification of self. The partial obedience and the rounding up giving then the show of again study along certain or given lines, and the entity gaining other knowledge escapes from such by the way of egress to the individual, or as would be gained by the lesson from this: Study well all phases of human development, and give each and every entity, where truth is found or shown, credit for their attempt to follow in the right channels, whether coinciding with self's convictions or not, following self in the way and manner as is adaptable to self, not adapting the condition to self but self to the condition, that is way and right.
6. We are through.
