1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [900], of 44 ... Road, Deal, N.J., his mind, and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give to you. You will give the interpretation and the lessons to be gained from each of these, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions I will ask you regarding each of these, as I ask them. You will also answer questions regarding the mental condition as relating to others associated with this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, mind, here, and the dreams as the body has experienced, and many of this we have had here before. We find the vision or dreams of this body, still more and more, relate to those conditions as the conscious mind of the body studies and watches the development of the consciousness gained by the body-mind of the operations of the superconscious, or cosmic consciousness, gaining the way and manner of expressing self to the consciousness of the individual, [900], and as these gain the manner of expression in, as it were, the seed of the spirit finding the soil of the body-mind, raises same to that element of understanding as is seen in the manifestations of the forces as are presented in emblematical forms to the body for the benefit of same in a physical, mental, moral, spiritual, and a oneness of the good the body may accomplish through same. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) July 17, 1925, at home in Deal. I saw clay-like boxes and figures and examined them closely. Was able to raise them or squeeze them down. I noticed one small figure especially. They seemed to represent the soul within the physical. As I squeezed one clay to small proportion, the voice said, "It is the connecting force, the force between," and I seemed to understand this as that faculty of the spirit force that connected and was above all the elemental forces; e.g, that which formed the connection between the consciousness of the physical plane and other planes of life. Then I squeezed a large clay box and said to a customer named Goldstein, "Yes, I'll give you a proportion of profit by buying and selling for you voluntarily as I do

for myself." Don't remember the other part, except that I saw dark long markers of different sizes. Recall and interpret. (A) In this we find the manifestations of elements as are given, and as are interpreted by the subconscious forces of the individual and brought to a consciousness of body-mind through the vision as seen. As is understood here, the figures representing the body of physical man. The boxes representing the works or physical conditions as relate to man, each having its spiritual atmosphere by its relation to those conditions making or producing same. The IN BETWEEN representing that absolute factor of a spiritual force, which may NOT be seen, known, experienced, save in its action, for each reach that condition of, with, or without, the intervening, or the inter-between being the action or the force as implied from the element as same is radiated from. In the form of the box taking shape, with height, breadth, depth, thickness, in figure, taking only that spiritual element as is manifest to the man as the representation of the highest manifestation in earth of the handiwork of that spiritual force that is the oneness in all, through all, and the greater understanding is the knowledge as is felt, known, experienced, by the manifestation of same, and is felt or known by its passage. The markings, as were not obtainable in consciousness, are now seen in that they, the markings, show the relations as are in a manner seen between the box and figure as represented to the body, and are good or bad, according to the element of the radiation of that force causing same to manifest before the individual entity. As is seen, as carried further, this then, as is this same force, as is seen, in how man then magnifies the elements of the knowledge of the spiritual forces by the reflection of same in the actions that go in between.
4. (Q) Early Saturday morning, July 18, at home. Saw myself objectively. That is, my physical self. Was attempting to measure myself as somebody else, and talking to myself about my physical self, as though I were outside of my physical self, as follows: "He measures very small in stature. Not much there. Wait, I'll measure his pocketbook. He'll be in front there." Measured my pocketbook and continued, "He doesn't measure big there either, he doesn't amount to much." Other dreams that night which I can't recall. Please do so for me and interpret. (A) In this we find still the advance of the consciousness as is awakening in the individual forces of the entity, the ability to visualize in the subconscious forces the various phases of the creation as is manifest in the material world,
900-97 Page 3
is the advancing, or that perfect understanding of All in One, One in All. This being, as we see, the representation of that, as has been given, in the forces as created in the beginning - Matter, Force, Mind; Force being the intervening forces in the manifestation of these conditions in the physical world. The measuring of various forces but the recognition of the conditions as are all existent, all being One in All, All in One, and the recognition of spiritual force, physical force, material forces, still that same tri-relation as exists in the whole Universe throughout, manifested in each and every particle, iota, or individual, in every manner and form. Again, only the arising to the understandings to which the mental forces of the individual is to arise. Study this well, for this is an advance for the individual body-mind, body consciousness, body subconscious, and the cosmic forces gaining a manifestation through the individual body, [900].
5. (Q) You will give how this body, [900], may overcome the aversion felt and expressed by those close to him for his association and belief in psychic phenomena, and of his relation to the psychic work of Edgar Cayce and his studies of a spiritual nature. (A) These, as we see, cover many various phases of both physical life, physical associations, physical relations in the physical sense, mental sense and spiritual sense. This may, however, be summed in three manners, in which the individual may grasp that as has been given in the interpretation of that vision of the strained relations with some such individuals.
First, as this: Be sure of self, and self's relation with the Father, for "Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you."
Second: In the physical conditions, regarding physical self, as shown in taking of advice, again we may come to this: "Be all things unto all men, that they may thereby gain the more for His Kingdom."
In the third we find, with the understanding of self and self's relation with the acknowledged condition as exists in physical, moral and social relations (without giving grounds, as it were), in each being, as it were, mad; yet sinning not; then, when this is prepared in the manner to be presented to others, and the glory as comes from such, in moral, physical, financial and other relations, is shed over self, same will be PROUD of the relations with the

individual.
