Time of Reading 12:00 Noon - 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 lesson to be gained from same, as I read same to you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body and the enquiring mind of same. The dreams as we see that come to the body from time to time, are the forces of subconsciousness being in that position of the active mind of the physical forces, and bringing manifestations to the body from subconscious interpretation of the thought, intent, purpose, desire of the body-mind, with the co-relating [correlating] of the spiritual forces as are manifest through such desires. Also we see those purely physical forces with their spiritual elements gaining in such a way as to be interpreted through the inductive forces of subconscious or soul forces of the body. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) Friday Morning, August 7th, 1925, at home in Deal. "Saw [136] swimming in a big body of water, toward the opposite shore. I noticed someone standing on a high cliff on that shore. 'If she swims to there, she'll have to make the highest cliff,' I remarked. [136] swam through the water, working hard, and I was afraid for her many times, when she seemed in danger. Finally, she arrived at the goal and reaching out of the water, handed a silver cup to the man standing there. The man was me and I was very happy." (A) In this we see how the subconscious forces have taken those conditions in the physical life and presented them to the body-mind in an emblematical way, these representing the intent, the thought, the purpose, of body-mind of the individual. That is, the entity, [900], recognizing the trouble, worry, the seeking of the body to go through that necessary (water the first element of life) to gain the knowledge, the place, with that one represented as being on high cliff. The recognition of the work, the hardships, encountered to attain same is felt in the inner self of the
900-109 Page 2
entity, yet, as is seen through the reaching of the goal, the entity, as has been given, is able to assist and to crown the efforts with success, and of that position wherein there will be brought the greater beneficence of the cup, as represents the bringing of the unison of knowledge to an understanding that brings happiness, joy and peace to the entity, [900], for as is seen in cup, in cup representing, as it were, that of a nature as a trophy, as something won, as something carrying a message, something with a spirit, of a force, as is represented from physical. These, as we see, show to the conscious forces how such attainment brings joy, happiness, in physical; in the spiritual these will be much more sought and bring much more happiness to each. Be thou faithful, then, unto the trust as has been put in thy hands.
4. (Q) [See 8/8/25 Ltr. under 126-1, Par. R1.] Saturday Morning, August 8, 1925, at home in Deal. "Was at [4167]'s home and his Aunt [126] was sick. I seemed to want to warn [4167]. Then [4167], [137] and I were coming home from a week end at my home in Deal and I said, 'Fear, what is fear in the human mind? It is a man's attitude toward an unknown in life, to the Spiritual.' I recalled the ghastly white face of a previous dream, which face indicated to me fear of the Spiritual that was so unknowable to me. 'Now,' I continued, 'what is Spiritual? It is that which man cannot know. Man afraid of unknowable, man therefore afraid of spiritual.' [4167] retorted, 'Now, isn't that ridiculous?' 'Don't argue, [4167],' I contended, 'I took those definitions out of psychology.' He was quiet. Then we came again into [4167]'s home, and my mother's. Many people were there and in answer to my inquiry they told me [4167]'s Aunt [126] was dying. I felt terrible, as did many others. She was seated in another room, a voice told me she was seated in another room, a voice told me she was bleeding to death from rectum, and one of her kidneys was not functioning. I took the only place vacant for me, a seat on the couch, where they finally brought [126] in a chair. I sat on the couch where she was to lie. Once there she would die. I wanted to help, stayed on the couch, but my mother motioned me out of the way. I got up, saw [126], weak, pale, dying, helpless, and sadly I looked upon her, as they prepared the death couch for her, and she said, looking at me, 'I'll be alright I guess. I have my pills and newspaper.'" (A) In this, we find there are many different phases of the study of the issues of life, as have been studied by the mind of [900]. These also, as we see, in their different phases of presentations to mind, represents, illustrates, emblematically, the conditions as the body passes through in
900-109 Page 3
its mental development.
As is seen in the recognition of the spirit force unattainable in a material world; that is, the inability of the three dimensional life understanding the fourth dimensional condition, see? The representing again of the individual who would jeer at the expression as is shown by the entity in giving out such information, shows that element again, as has been given, as regarding the individual. There will be brought into the life of the individual, [4167], those conditions in both mental, moral and in spiritual elements, that will only be able to receive any succor or aid save through that which will be able of being brought to the body through the efforts of [900]. These, as we see, are illustrated in the relation as is known by [900] that lies between [4167] and [126]. The conditions as are seen, the fear as is seen in the whiteness of the face, the recognition of the dying of the body as is seen by the element, representing the gaining of the know- ledge by [900] of those understandings of spiritual forces manifesting themselves in a material world, that even the mother would in part deter the entity from gaining that full intent and purpose of the phenomena as is presented to the body, yet the body recognizing the condition that is bringing about the dissolution of the physical and spiritual forces of the body, shows how the analytical forces, as are being manifested in the body of [900], through the mind's co-relation [correlation] of the elements of body-mind, soul, sub-conscious, spiritual elements, will gain, DOES gain, that element necessary of the understanding that brings the peace, the joy, the full knowledge of the understanding of the oneness of that saving force that lies within each human breast, will they but co-relate [correlate] those conditions, that representation of the divine within, and make the will one with that Spirit Force.
Then, the lesson as is to be gained, again we would give that as has been given from the spiritual guide, the Father, "Wait on the Lord. Watch as well as pray." Keep in that way that gives peace and understanding, for the voice is of that still small voice that gives the quiet, of the inner knowledge of "My spirit beareth witness with Thy Spirit that we are the Sons of God." Then harken unto those voices and keep in that way, though they may bring those elements into the physical forces of the body that would deter the mind from giving its full expressions of self. Know that no harbored vice, no harbored force held against one is a
900-109 Page 4
profit, but be ready, be willing, to give of that life giving spirit force that may manifest itself through this body, [900], will the body, physically, mentally, morally, financially, same to be manifested. We are our own builders, then, and the knowledge as is attained through the manifestation of forces as are given in the flesh are but the reflections of our conception of OUR God.
5. (Q) Sunday Morning, August 9, 1925, in Deal. "I was giving out dollar bills to people, one at a time. One person would come up to me and say, 'Give me one.' I would hand that person a dollar, then another would come up, and another and another." (A) Again we find that manifested condition, emblematically, of the great truths that the entity, [900], is to hand out to those who seek a more perfect understanding of their relations with their Creator, for as the representation of dollars to the material mind is of that success in a material world, these are the emblematical forces and are but as the grains of truth as are to be handed out. Again and again do we have the forces show to this entity that truth, that lesson, of the purpose for which the understanding of life, with its co-relation [correlation] of the various forms of worship of physical human beings and their interpretation of their God.
6. (Q) Monday Morning, August 10, 1925. "I was gaining something out and it seemed to be about gaining some part of space. Recall and interpret." (A) This, as we see, not quite attainable unto the body for the entering of carnal forces into the interpretation as is attempted by the soul forces of the entity. This, as we see, was as that attainment of the entity of space in which to manifest that attained knowledge, belief, with the manifestations of same that are applicable to the life of other human beings who are seeking the knowledge, the understanding, of the issues of life as are being propounded to the body, [900], through the co-relations [correlations] of the spirit elements that are being projected into the physical world, which partake of those elements that give not only those issues of life spiritually but those necessities in material forces. The gaining then of the space, the recognition, co-relate [correlate] same being the work, the attainment, to which the entity must so place itself. Do that.
