Time of Reading 11:40 A. M. Dayton Savings Time. Deal, N.J.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [900], of ... Road, Deal, N.J., and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lessons to be gained from each of these, as I read same to you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body-mind and the dreams as come to this body from time to time. These, as we see, are are the various presentations of the mental forces of body being co-related [correlated] through action of subconscious forces with that element to which the suggestive forces of consciousness in dream or subconscious state direct such co-relating of conditions presented to the consciousness through the manner of dream in emblematical and in picturalization of conditions that are and do appear, giving then the inductive reasoning to the points to which the deduction has brought the mental forces and capacities of the individual mind. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Tuesday Morning, July 28, 1925. "I was in some discussion about the market with [137] and he became angry. Then I was playing roulette and bet some money on a color. In disgust, [137] said: 'Oh, [900]!'" (A) This, as we see, relates to mental conditions that have been expectant in the mind of each individual as the conditions that might arise. These conditions, we see, will present themselves in relation to the different attitude each takes regarding some stocks in which both are interested, each having a different opinion. Being forewarned, be forearmed, and do not allow the variations in the mental conditions, or the physical condition created at the time, make a change that would become detrimental to either. Doing, as has been given, all things with that brotherly love necessary to make the perfect union, as has been presented to the entity through the giving of the help and aid from spiritual guide, for this will occur again on the third, from this spiritual guide. [See dream on 8/3/25 interpreted in 900-103, Par. 8-A, 9-A, on 8/5/25.]
4. (Q) Wednesday Morning, July 29, 1925, at home in Deal. Was seated in a sort of grandstand seat on the beach and
900-102 Page 2
another man sat next to me. We looked out to sea and there close to the beach was what seemed the hulk of a wrecked boat, rising and lowering in the sea. "It is now coming mighty close to land and to us," I said to my companion. "Yes," he nodded, "They can't pump the water out of that!" Up and down, up and down, rising and lowering with the waves, rose and fell this monster and nearer and nearer it came to us, until it was almost on top of us and I could see the water filling up and rushing out of the holes in the side. Then the monster hulk, that appeared as a drifted wreck ship, seemed up on the beach, still rising and falling, the water filling it up and rushing out of it again. I wondered why they didn't pump all the water out and again the other man said, "THEY CAN'T DO IT - THEY CAN'T PUMP THE WATER OUT OF THAT!" Then I ran up this monster, still rising and falling, filling and emptying with water, and I noticed the old wooden step affair of the body and thought how the water would act to deteriorate and disintegrate those wooden steps and how they would return to another form of matter and then in last analysis were the atom, which is but the phenomenon of a spiritual force. Then I entered the stage part of a theatre and looked back to find [137], [140] and my usual companions. I looked at the audience. I went back and joined my crowd. "What will we do to-night?" they asked. "Play 21 or gamble," they said. I looked back at the theatre. Something felt wrong. (A) In this representation of the action of subconscious force on mental proclivities of body-mind, with the spiritual elements and truths as are being studied by the individual, are brought through the vision, the lessons, as has been given, of the oneness of all force, and the recognition of same by the individual mind, yet the inability of some others, with whom the entity contacts, to at first gain such conception of truths as are presented from time to time. In the boat, as a wreck, we find there presented the truth in religious thought as is adrift, and bearing down upon others in no uncertain manner, recognized by others as might be made whole by action from within, yet this seems inaccessible to many. The resting on shore representing the position to which same has come. The going on same, with the taking of cognizance of conditions as were apparent on same, the entity's entering into that ability to be of assistance and aid to such conditions at the present time, with the knowledge of the necessity of the stepping stones to the new thought must be made safe and secure for all. The seeing in the theatre representing the manner in which some would view such conditions, by the action of the
900-102 Page 3
individual, yet the knowledge of each, or of some of group, that something must be attempted and done, the recognition of conditions unsettled in the minds of many, and the ability of the one to settle same. More of these will be seen again. Follow then in that channel and way in which has been shown that these are presentations of thought and lesson from which the body must gain that knowledge to which it will gradually build to that position in which he must present the lessons and the truths that are to be given to the peoples.
5. We are through for the present.
