Time of Reading ..., Street, 4:10 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City, N.Y.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], of Apt. ..., ... St., N.Y. 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 I ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had here before. The dreams and visions, as we see, come to the entity in that way and manner as have been outlined for the entity, and in these various experiences, which partake of subconscious and soul forces, of physical mind, and those conditions as subjugated to same, these lessons, as may be learned from these, may be used by entity to build into the consciousness of the entity those truths and lessons as are experienced through the visions. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Sunday Night, Jan. 31, or Monday Morning, Feb. 1, 1926. A noise in our house as of a chorus of people. I saw Mr. [...] [father-in-law] fall to the floor, shaking with fear. Then I heard the concerted noise of another group of people, and going out to our hall, I beheld many pounding on the floor together, with hatchet sort of affairs. Mr. [...] frightened, lay upon the floor. I ordered the chorus of people to cease their activity and they did. I then commanded that they disappear. They hesitated. Turning, I saw Father [...] quaking and shaking with fear on the floor. I turned back to the noisy intruders and commanded: "When I command you, I want obedience. Disappear and cease your noise!" They disappeared and the noise ceased. Mr. [...]'s normal mind was resumed. [Rest of dream not read - about leaving the earth in a mental state much like that in which he has communicated with his father - couldn't find his room or bed or get back in his body - "I'm lost." The the Voice: "Now you are close - close to God." He finally awoke scared to death.] (A) In this vision there is given the conscious forces that

of a tangible physical condition as exists in the action of the body-mental towards PHYSICAL condition as exists in the physical body, when racked by pain, fear, or disease, by the various conditions of which the flesh is heir, and with this noise, with this pain as produces this, brings the condition as is viewed by the entity, and as self is seen commanding the dispersement of those conditions as produce this condition in body, then the fear that is seen is that as the rending of the body, as the trouble disappears and the command is as seen, in that when commanded, must be obeyed. Same command, then, as comes to the entity, in that as how the laws as pertain to the destruction or dispersement of distress in a physical body must be applied to self in the attainment of same. When God speaks, the command must be obeyed. Keep self, then, in that manner of obedience, would the entity bring the greater conditions to self, for, as is seen in the vision that follows close with this, when the entity loses self, catches a vision of self being separated from home, from room, not knowing self, yet seeing self, and hears the voice speaking to, and the entity gives self as ready to be commanded, as in the inner self, or God, speaking to the entity through self.
Then, as the entity has drawn the various conclusions, as the different phases of life are presented in this vision, then may the entity KNOW the FULL intent and purpose of each, by following out those laws as govern such condition.
First, there is seen, then, in how that fear enters, in making the physical body that of the breaking point between conception of that as is attained by the entity. Then there is seen how that it presents self seeing self. Self again hearing the voice, and the willingness to command; yet, as is seen in that portion of the vision, "WHEN I COMMAND, I EXPECT TO BE OBEYED," and the entity complied, NOT in self, but DEMANDS in others.
Then, make self more rational, in that way and manner that SELF will follow in the way as directed, and as the study of each phase of existence, and of the explanation of those conditions as are projected, the entity will gain the greater conception; for, as is seen, each phase of that the entity attempts to explain to self is presented in the vision of noises, of [father-in-law], and of the command to CEASE, and brings to the entity the clear understanding.
Then, bring to SELF, IN THIS SAME MANNER, that clear

understanding; putting then away the FLESH, and the desires of same, making self amenable only to those tenets of that answering voice that SPEAKS TO the entity, and in the STILL QUIET there will come that ray of light that gives peace, joy, and quietude to the entity.
4. We are through for the present.
