Time of Reading 11:30 A. 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., 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 will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had here before, you see. The dreams as come to the body from time to time are in that relation to the entity, its development, its mental forces, its subconscious reasoning, as it were, through the subliminal, to the entity, and are as lessons, or as experiences for the mental force to use, as has been given. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Tuesday Night, Feb. 9, or Wednesday Morning, Feb. 10, 1926. I received a reading from Cayce telling me to go to a certain part of our old home block - (i.e. where we used to live) and there could I secure a beautiful cottage. I can't recall as to whether it referred to a home for our psychic work, or to certain conditions in my life - in my mental at present, or both. The latter (both indicated) it seems to me as the most likely, first referring to [136] and my relations to my mother, possibly this summer in particular. My mother, the reading seemed to instruct, should not take the same cottage, but should take a small one next to us and also that she should marry. It seemed that would make all things much happier for us - my mother married living next door to us. (A) In this there are presented many various conditions that are to arise, and, as we see, the subconscious is as but reasoning with physical conditions as are to arise at some future time, apparently soon, in the life of the entity - a reading or information as regarding certain properties for the psychic work and that connected with same. Again the same is as referring to those mental conditions which, as we see, will be the manner in which many conditions would be made in a way that would bring more satisfaction in the
900-202 Page 2
many physical ways to the entity, especially relating to the mental condition of those who are seen or visioned mentally in dream. As seen, then, the wedding or marriage of the mother, and that condition as brings about certain relations as would be more to the MENTAL SATISFACTION of the entity than as conditions have existed. Then, as is seen, the entity must act in that way and manner to bring much good to self, to others; to the mother; for we see the horn of plenty.
4. (Q) What is here indicated that I may do or aid or influence in accomplishing? (A) The conditions as given. Home or places for psychic work. A home, a place, for the closer relations as are to exist with mother and the conditions about same. She will marry, you see.
5. (Q) Then I went to the house indicated and a beautiful view presented itself. Flowers, gardens, beautifully colored birds and a lovely view presented itself. I spoke to the keeper of this place. "How do you get money enough to keep a place like this up?" I asked. "Wealthy people - numbers of the synagogue and of the congregation send it in," he replied. "Don't they ask questions and put on certain restrictions?" I queried. "No, they just send it in - we don't even known who they are in every case," he answered. "I certainly haven't money enough to buy such a place," I remarked and walked away. The man or keeper tilted back in this chair. (A) In this we see there is presented the manner in which the home, the place for the work is to be kept up, see? by those contributions from those who are of that faith in the work attempting to be done, and is as the subconscious forces presenting these visions to the entity for the action as should be taken as regarding same, for these, as we see, present those conditions as will occur when this is begun; for, as has been given, BEGIN, for success begets success, and in the manner that these conditions are presented to others, there will be seen that these will be given, even from those whom are not suspected of being interested in such work. Do that.
6. (Q) Then I was in temple listening to a sermon. I started to change my clothes as I sat in my pew. Taking off my pants and sitting in my B V D's I attracted the attention of some people in a back pew to my left who were laughing at me and making fun of me. They grew so loud and boisterous in their abuse that the usher came up to them to make them keep quiet. They pointed me out to the one in authority and he looked at me in disgusted fashion, but held his peace and

told the mockers to keep quiet. Meanwhile I was struggling to get my new or other pants on, feeling embarrassed. At last I succeeded, but felt foolish and most looked at me with either aversion or scorn or sarcasm. (A) This is as the presenting to the entity of the position as will be seen by others in the position as is occupied by the entity, in the change of thought and of action as relating to theology, theosophy, and of those questions as are to be, and are being, presented to the many by the entity, and as is seen, in the change, in a manner brings embarrassment to the body, and there may be that expected of many, to scoff, to jeer; much attention will be attracted to the entity, but, as is seen, the place, the time, the change being made, there comes the better satisfaction, the better understanding, the better associations from many standpoints. Then, as has been given, follow that way in which the entity may understand and give to the peoples THAT MESSAGE.
7. (Q) Then I returned to the lovely house, but this time I was wealthy - had one million dollars and bought the house to use for our psychic work, for Cayce was there and my mother was married living next door. Then more money came in and I had several millions of dollars to use in the exploitation of our work, and peace seemed to prevail where trouble and worry had formerly dwelt. (A) This again, as seen, that presenting to the entity of the peace, the quiet, the money, the much monies, as will come to the work from time to time, through those various ways, sources and manners as have been presented from time to time, and as is seen in the satisfaction - NOT as of gain, NOT as of glory, but as of the accomplishing of a work that gives much to those who would seek His face; to those who would come in unto that throne, that understanding, of the at-oneness with that Universal Creative Force, known in the world as the Giver of all good and perfect gifts.
8. We are through for the present.
