Time of Reading 11:40 A. 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 dates which I will give you, and you will give the interpretation and lessons to be gained from each of these, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding these.
2. EC: Yes, we have this here. These we have had before, the various dreams as we see as come to the body, in the different phases and stages of the development, and as the desires of the entity seek the understanding of the various principles and tenets as are entertained, held, thought, studied, brought in contact with, used, applied, in the life, in the mind, in the mental forces of the body-mind, the co-relating [correlating] of same in the subconscious forces giving an interpretation and understanding to the various truths as are so meted out to the entity, in its studies and seeking after knowledge of the various conditions and phases of life, as pertaining to material, mental, moral, philosophical, theosophical, metaphysical, and as each pertain to the various spheres of same, the visions as are presented to the entity bear upon one or more, or in some instances (as we see in that as has been presented, as was given [in 900-102, Par. 3-A on 7/31/25] would become a portion of the vision on the 3rd) [See 900-103, Par. 8-A, 9-A] include all of the various spheres of the entity's thought and study, and become then as manifestations, as to spiritual forces of the body, and as of old, become as the words of truth from LIVING TRUTH, of which the entity may make such lessons part and parcel of self and so magnify, illustrate, give out, to others such obtained knowledge in a way that will become beneficial to others who would study of such phenomena of life. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) Sunday Morning, August 2, 1925, in Deal. "I was going over margin accounts of stocks with Sydney Wormser, my former partner. Something seemed wrong and I was reasoning with him. Then I saw our present margin book and one of my
900-103 Page 2
customers, Mr. Jessie Baer." (A) In this we find there presented physical conditions, and associations with same, of the individual in physical forces, which represents to the mind of [900] that, as it were, the last word or authority pertaining to such physical conditions and the preservation or keeping or presenting of same. That is, as Wormser (an associate of the entity in physical life) represents that individual who keeps track of a physical action (the book) and the accounts of same, this presented then to the entity and in with same we find that of the own present one presented, with a specific individual pointed out as his or their relation with same. Then, the lesson: In that the entity has, through physical contact with Wormser, gained knowledge as pertaining to how, physically, to act under such relations, apply that knowledge in relation to the condition now in hand, regarding this individual, Baer, using own act of usage of that knowledge gained, see? for in this we find the physical interpretation of lessons as have been given from time to time, that the entity, [900], may gain, through experience, that which will be presented to him through that of co-related [correlated] forces as are manifested in subconscious forces, and the mental application to same then becomes knowledge as to how is to act on certain physical conditions. Do that.
4. (Q) To what definite present condition does this refer? (A) To the condition of the Baer account on margin book, that is, or has been, or is to occur. This, as we see, is seen through how Wormser would use such conditions. As [900] has gained tutelage under the supervision of Wormser, now apply it in self's life, using self for the interpretation of same, self's abilities, plus knowledge acquired from Wormser, to deal with any specific condition regarding or relating to Baer.
5. (Q) What should I now do with regards to our margin account with Jessie Baer? (A) Just been given. This must be acted through self, through experience as obtained and manifested to the body from association of Wormser, with existing conditions as would be. Sit down. Take account of self. Take the knowledge as acquired, taking the conditions as existing, making personal application of same in the present existing circumstances.
6. (Q) "Saw a pair of high black shoes." (A) This, as we see, represents some condition not made clear, as yet, to the individual, over which some untoward or ungentlemanly action would be attempted. As to what this
900-103 Page 3
will be - developed later for the body.
7. (Q) "Had a very definite dream regarding another condition. Recall it to me and give interpretation and lesson." (A) That it has passed from the recollection of the entity should be under the truth as has been set forth in the first, in this, of how same is to apply in the life of this entity. This, however, as we see, related to conditions that might be, or might not be. They would become definite were such and such conditions to happen. They would be very different were such other conditions to happen. The mental ability and development of the body itself will, as we see, control much of this condition, for, as has been given, were bodies to hold in their inmost beings a condition desired, and act like they expect to receive it, it would come. This is what is meant, "What is asked in my name that will the Father give unto thee."
8. (Q) August 3, 1925, at home in Deal. (A) (Interrupting) This, as we see, in part, in relation to those conditions as given would be presented to the body. Now - [See 900-103, Par. 2.]
9. (Q) (Continuing) First saw my mother, and she was giving me advice about marriage and physical development of certain years of age. Some confused reference to an operation or more necessary in this case. Then saw Dr. Beck who said to me, "If you rub the flesh this way," demonstrating on me, "it brings the circulation to that spot, doesn't it?" "Yes," I replied. "That is it," he finished. Then he turned to someone else and advised "Don't you get up so early in the morning," at which I remarked to him, "Maybe I shouldn't either. That may be my trouble." He laughed and said, "No, you just go right ahead - get up early." Then I turned from the doctor and saw a wide expanse of railroad tracks, all running parallel to each other. "Look at all the railroads to Chicago," I said. I saw engines steaming ahead on the track, their wheels turning at a great rate. [See rest of [900]'s letter, 900-103, Par. B2.] (A) In this we find many various conditions of the mental forces of body of the truths as have been gained in part and in whole by the entity, presented in emblematical forms of conditions that have and are being presented, studied, by the body and become, as it were, a conglomerated mass in effect to the mental forces, or in the presentation of same to the entity. The reason of the lack of clarification, the lack of centralization, of the individual mind pertaining to the various studies as has and are being presented to the body from time to time. In the first we find, as the conversation with the mother, representing loving force and
900-103 Page 4
care, and training and environment, and conditions as go to make up that builded in the individual, as becomes a portion of the personality of every living being, the will being the dominant force as would direct same, see? In the presentation of the operation as is seen, or the necessity of an operation under the existent conditions, this presenting a condition as of a great truth, which has been discussed in, by, between, with, these individuals, regarding certain elements necessary for the truth to be gained in the acceptable manner in which it may be used for the edification of many. The reference to the physician and an individual, one showing how that truth as is gained is propounded by one who is considered authority on such subjects, by the amount of physical application of life to given subject, through a direct channel. This opens, as we see, the channel of thought and study as has been and is being presented to the entity. The turning from this, and the vision of railroads, representing, then, that of material conditions as related to truth as is acquired by such study, and as we see, then, becomes enmeshed, as it were, in the duties, reckoning, realities, of the day's labors and represents that to Chicago, toward Chicago, there are railroad stocks, from Chicago and to Chicago, that the individual has, is interested in. The wide expansion of same representing the wide change in the stock quotations, the stock prices on such stocks as the individual has been interested in. Hence, we find neither of these being presented to the individual as a clear, definite, decisive, manner in which to act upon either, see? The lesson then: Rather centralize conditions in dream, in life, that each may serve its greater purpose, see?
10. (Q) What did "to Chicago" specify? (A) As given. Regarding stocks in which the body, [900], is interested.
11. (Q) It was either Fannie Whitgenstein, or Mrs. F. Lustig, I visited. Both were friends of my father's. The former now passed from earth's plane, the latter still here. I brought her a book, or something, and talked to her. I visited her a second time and she seemed to wonder how I had time for this outside of my business. The latter seemed to be selling cigars, which my father did in his lifetime. I told her I had a business appointment at eleven-thirty, although I didn't, but wanted to meet her - seeming criticism. This second time, I again brought her a book. She smiled, seemed half way grateful. I climbed upon a chair to look on a dresser, on into a dresser mirror. "It's nice to bring back those memories," I said. She gave little
900-103 Page 5
response. "You don't have to look very far into the past," I continued, "you once had Chikey." (Latter was our dog a year or two ago.) Then I left her to keep my appointment. (A) In this we find there presented the conditions as are presenting themselves to the mentality of the body-mind of [900] in the consideration of subject matter, thought, study and expression of same, as the entity would attempt to present same to others. That is, here is pictured to the mind of [900] those conditions that are present with self in attempting to take from own labors of the material nature to present truths of a hypothetical nature of the mystic force to people and their acceptation of same, as shown in how the entity attempts to present same. The bodies as seen, and their relations with both living and dead, with the truths as presented through the knowing of the truth, presentation through the Guide's forces, as is illustrated in same relations of business conditions, as is seen in the thought as is taken of how, the wonder is, that such could come from one dividing, as it were, time. The thoughts of the engagement, of the necessity of presenting the conditions as felt in the entity, were those as should be presented from a material standpoint, and all are presented in that manner. Then, the lesson, the truth, as is to be gained, let the entity gain in those lessons as have set forth in the first, of how the various phases are presented to the entity in its development, and feel and know the full necessity of the well filled, rounded, life of every phase of its nature, that the issues of life, in their various spheres of human endeavor, may be presented to the various minds as view same. Hence the necessity of the individual to gain the many aspects of human experience of physical development, of mental development, of spiritual manifestation of same on truth in the various spheres of human existence, that same may be made the more perfect to that way in which all may come to the more perfect understanding and knowledge of the truths as may be presented by the entity, for truth is TRUTH, and the environment of the individuals viewing same give it various shades of meaning to the individual.
12. We are through for the present.
