Time of Reading 4:20 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], of Apt. ..., ... St., New York City, and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained from each of these, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions which I shall ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind. These we have had here before. The dreams as come to this body are as of the correlation between the conscious forces and those cosmic forces being built in the entity, with the action of subconscious in giving the relations, as it were, of each in an emblematical manner, when such are presented.
3. (Q) Oct. 14, 1925, at home, ... St., Apt. ..., New York City. Now the proposition was to raise money to market some medical preparation given through psychic forces of Edgar Cayce (Ipsab). We had a reading and it gave that we should buy corn and sell it to stores right in and around N.Y. City, as well as elsewhere. We made up a package of corn and [4167], my Uncle [90] and myself, went into a bird and animal store and sold it for 13 cents, which was so much cheaper than the store man could buy the same article elsewhere, that he gave us a big order. This surprised me and I estimated we could make a lot of money selling this commodity, but there were 3 kinds of this commodity and all had to be sold. But we could undersell and thereby meet all competition. So [4167] and [90] started out to sell the grain. But corn, etc., would gap in price or the commodity price might. Well then, I figured we could raise the price of our package and still undersell and do business on a volume basis. But yes we mustn't forget our object - to market the medical property - just because selling the grain made money for us we must remember to also, with the grain package, sell the medical preparation. Certainly I intended this as soon as the grain selling brought in enough money - that is as soon as psychic forces showed us how to raise the capital we would so use it.

(A) In this we find the correlation of the mental forces of entity with those of the forces as pertain to the cosmic forces, reasoning then, as it were, pertaining to those conditions in which the mental mind has been and is delving, as it were, to seek a means, a manner, a way, to carry out certain conditions. These then, as we see, are presented to the body in an emblematical form. As is seen, there has been presented, then, to the entity other commodities to market, through which the promise of sale of that as given in psychic forces might also be sold, see? Then as the changes are seen with individuals as enter into the developing, meaning, then, other individuals than as has been given to market, to sell, to distribute, such, shows how the conditions present themselves as regarding such manner or way of selling same. For the troubles immediately, as it were, arise, according to price; yet, as is seen, were the conditions carried out in a manner as given, there would come that surprise to the entity, for the call, for the use of the commodity as is attempting to be sold. And we find that, as this is presented, there come then many questions as pertaining to same. For there has been given [See [1800] series] the manner and way in which the Ipsab, as given in the psychic forces, may be marketed, see? Under the direction, by manufacture and sale, of someone directly interested in the phenomena and its success in its action for individuals to whom any phase of the phenomena might be given or presented, whether of that as pertains to remedies for specific conditions or for those of mental and physical forces wherein the necessity of mechanical and medicinal properties are used in bringing to the consciousness of the entity that necessary condition to bring about healing forces for body, see?
4. (Q) Has this any reference to E. Cayce "I" account, which is the account out of which money is to be taken to market Ipsab? Not much there yet. What is intended in relation to this? (A) That as given. When entity, [900], or anyone interested in same to the extent of providing means for preparation to be distributed, sold, marketed, to individuals needing same, do so in the manner as has been given. In that fact has reference to that. Not necessarily only as the individual views same, see? [900].
5. (Q) Has this anything to do with Icthyolate as presented by Dayton Chemical Co? What would be best for [900] to do regarding this? How? (A) As has been given, in relation to that property of the medicinal properties necessary to give healing forces to
900-147 Page 3
specific conditions. Then market put on in the manner given. Not conducted with another property, save as those that come through the same source, see?
6. (Q) Would it be best to bring my Uncle [90] and his family from Kansas City to reside permanently in N.Y. City to take charge or help in the conduct of Ipsab Business? (A) Unless the uncle be in that position of that as given, NO.
7. (Q) Oct. 15, Thursday, at home. It seemed my mother and I were in a hotel where many people were passing. Then there was the typewriter with a sheet of blank paper in it, waiting to be used by one of the many applicants for position of stenographer and also for my more perfect understanding of just something else - some final thing - the first 3 principles of which I had. In the midst of all of this, the voice: "ALL of these are GOD!" (A) This, then, presenting to the entity that still oneness of purpose, of intent, of the WHOLE BEING AS ONE. For ALL is of God, see? and as the entity gains the knowledge as pertaining to the application of the various phases, gain that first principle of which the other two he has. That first principle this: God in the individual manifesting to other individuals through every phenomenized manner that is presented in a physical world. For, every force which may not be separated, produced, given, shown growth of, by man, that force is of God and of the Universal Forces, which when speaking of man's relation to same meaning, coming in contact with those three forces in man: Spiritual - of God. Cosmic - the made forces of the man. The Subconscious - that which connects each and becomes the condition of mental-mind in a spiritual, see?
8. (Q) Now it seems to me this again and again tries to drive home to my dense physical mind that God is One - (A) (Interrupting) Correct.
9. (Q) He is all of these applicants, all of these people passing in the hotel - (A) (Interrupting) Correct.
10. (Q) they are phenomenized forms of Him. Also He is all of these consciousnesses, (A) (Interrupting) Save that as is of the cosmic force, not related to spiritual forces, for that may be earth made, see?
11. (Q) all of these faculties of mind - He is even the
900-147 Page 4
physical mind (A) (Interrupting) In action.
12. (Q) (The phenomenized mind) (A) (Interrupting) In action.
13. (Q) trying to understand the elemental. This seems to indicate the first 3 dimensions of God I comprehend - the 4th dimension, the Oneness - I do not yet perfectly enough, (A) (Interrupting) Comprehend!
14. (Q) as illustrated by my hazy idea of the super-conscious mind in relation to subconscious - [cosmic conscious and sensuous mind. Will you try to explain this so as to make it clearer?] [GD: Last part not read by GC.] (A) (Interrupting) Then as this: Super-conscious - that which takes that position in the physical plane, see, and in the spiritual plane assuming that position of subconscious, see? Cosmic being the physical condition of body, for that which the individual has MADE is its cosmic force, or cosmic body, with subconscious as the conscious mind, superconscious as the subconscious mind - viewed from the physical plane - he has this now, see?
15. (Q) COSMIC FACULTY of MIND - the faculty of Spirit Energy manifesting in phenomenized form - (A) (Interrupting) Gain this point here, concerning cosmic forces. COSMIC FORCES [are] THAT BUILDED BY THE ENTITY IN ITS PASSAGE THROUGH [the] PHYSICAL PLANES. Hence the urges come to individuals from whence they know not, the abhorrence individuals have for conditions and they know not, though others coming from the same parent stock in physical forces desire just the opposite, see? For we may find from same parent stock, same social relations, same conditions existent in each life in its development to the stage where the consciousness is awakened of cosmic forces (puberty), then we find one with the desire for alcoholic stimulants, the other with the desire of spiritual stimulants, see?
16. (Q) The Spirit Action to form, create physical mind or consciousness. SENSUOUS MIND the manifestation of this physical action in the individual phenomenized Being. SUBCONSCIOUS MIND - the mind of the Soul - the consciousness not only of all spirit action in physical plane or to form physical conditions, but also consciousness of spirit action of all the planes through which this faculty has developed. Subconscious 4th dimension consciousness then self consciousness - consciousness of the REAL spiritual self as viewed not only in relation to physical experiences but ALL EXPERIENCES. The Storehouse of all physical action in relation to spirit action in phenomenized plane is the
900-147 Page 5
subconscious in relation to mind of the world of the cosmos, while the Storehouse in relation to Spirit Action throughout all the planes of development through which the Entity has passed is subconscious in relation to superconscious mind. This latter is consciousness after death. This is a vital factor for all will ask "What of Immortality - what consciousness will I have then?" - See? Then is this correct? This is an explanation of 4th dimension of Psychology - of mind - the first 3 of which I seem to have. Now this 4th dimension explanation, is it correct? (A) When modified, or when brought to that condition as has been given, in the changes in the various manners, see? In a manner, yes, correct. In a manner un-correct, see? for Immortality is of the Soul, that Body of the Cosmic Forces taking the form to which it has builded in its various experiences through the physical world, or degraded, according to the lives, the Will Force, the manner as exercised in the physical plane.
17. (Q) The applicants for position of stenographer to write this work for magazine publication or to help [900] get it into shape for publication, considering the nature of the work and trustworthiness necessary to fill such a position - which of those who have written applying for the position had [900] best take? (A) The third.
18. (Q) Saw Rabbi Wise* in pulpit and recalled his lectures on Christ - particularly those admitting Christ to be a perfect man - but not a God. I seemed to want to get up on that platform. Awakening then I found myself reasoning as though continuing right on from dream: Christ represents the Evolution of this Spirit Energy into Flesh Man - the Perfect Flesh Man, Wise concedes. Then (again that last phase as indicated in first dream) Christ's evolution to His present Spiritual Omnipotence - Spiritual Oneness with the Whole Spirit Force (not an all powerful individual man floating around spirit like in the atmosphere or somewheres in the heavens) but an energy capable of acting here - there - everywhere throughout the realm (all power over Heaven and Earth) but a SELF CONSCIOUS INTELLIGENT RATIONAL ENERGY - a 4th dimension Energy fully evolved - such is God. (A) Correct. * [GD's note: Rabbi Stephen Samuel Wise, founder of Zionist Organization of America, etc., etc., etc., whose monthly sermons in various synagogues were available in published volumes. See WHO'S WHO in 1924-1925.]
19. (Q) Is this a revelation - a revelation of that I was
900-147 Page 6
pondering - what is meant by Life Eternal? (A) Life Eternal - One with that Oneness, as is seen by the Soul becoming One with the Will, the spirit, of the Father, even as is shown in the ensample of the Man called Jesus - the Christ, the Savior of the World, through compliance to those same laws, as He complied with, see? for with that Force, that Spirit, brought in the World, then becomes the truth, "What thou asketh in My name, believing in thine heart, same shall be unto thee." BEAUTIFUL is the life and the feet of those who walk in the paths of the righteous One. Lo! The Heavens open and I see Him stand at that Way which leads unto Life Everlasting; THAT then the Way, the Truth, the Light, the Water of Life, the Man made Perfect in that Spirit of Him who gave Himself as the ransom for many. In this is the ransom then: Making self of low estate, as is called in man's realm. All powerful - yet never using that power, save to help, to assist, to give aid, to give succor to someone who is not in that position to help or aid self, see?
20. (Q) Again and again and again trying to make me see the scope, the wide meaning of "All of These are God." (A) All of these are God, manifesting in the Spirit to those who would seek His face, see?
21. (Q) Voice: "That is all Talk about the $700." (A) This as received refers to something else entirely, and refers to the seven hundred whom someone else has promised to pay back to the entity. He will gain this. It will be paid.
22. That is all for the present.
23. We are through.
