3. (Q) Week of March 1 to March 7, 1926, at home. As a child I used to love to roam in reverie through Central Park, particularly in Spring, Summer and Fall. I found much peace in these quiet periods of reflection and dreams of the imagination. I saw myself doing that again, with a lovely house or home in some country as my goal. Suddenly a change from warmth and sunshine to cold, snow and ice. I found myself on a thawing lake - the ice mighty thin and dangerous. I became frightened, turned back and had a narrow escape from sinking thru the thin ice. As I reached safety, that lovely house and its peaceful surroundings entered my mind and the voice of a girl said: "I'll go on painting and preparing the house just the same." (A) In this there is seen both the action of the subconscious and subliminal mind and the physical mind, reasoning together, as it were, of the past, present and future conditions as relating to the mental attitude of the entity; for, as is seen in the final analysis of the real Mind, the Builder, and as this is presented in the view of the dreams, the meditations of the entity in those days when the inner consciousness of the entity builded in the mental forces those conditions as would bring the great joy, peace and happiness to the entity, these, as we see, took on physical forms in the mental aspirations of entity.
Now, as these are seen coming into existence through the

BUILDING now in the mental mind of self and others, those same structures of the mental making; and, as is seen, there suddenly comes the chilling blast, and the turn is as the beautiful turned into dread and danger, through that fear as would present to self, through the strength of the physical body-mind to HOLD TO THOSE CONDITIONS UPON WHICH THE MENTAL FORCES WERE BUILDED, and as the entity flees in dread and fear, the escape is as those conditions as have presented to the entity from time to time through that of not wholly or perfectly understanding those dreams, those visions; yet, as is seen, there comes the voice of the messenger, the truth: "I will go on building, preparing, painting - giving expression to the mental abilities, that the preparations may be made for the lessons as are to be given and BUILDED INTO THE "MENTAL FORCES OF OTHERS." See?
4. (Q) What is this house? (A) Message.
5. (Q) In what reference is this - and how should I continue? (A) Building - building - in the mental forces; MENTALLY, see? for the occupancy of others - in mental manners.
6. (Q) I was entering a harbor on a boat, with [137] - seemed to be Norfolk Harbor. I noted a big wave that struck another ship and tried to call others' attention to it. Then another huge wave struck the boat and knocked it off keel to such an extent that sailors were washed overboard. The boat righted itself, however, the waters grew calmer again, and the sailors climbed back on board. I noted the peculiar expression on the sailors' faces as though to say, "What struck us and where'd it come from?" The sailors started shoveling snow from off the decks of the boat. (A) This, as we see, a physical condition as is presented in the body at the time this comes to the entity. The slow action of the physical conditions in the body gives the expression - cold, congestion, and everything wavered by this physical mental presentation to the entity of conditions as have passed through the mind. Purely, then, a physical expression of those conditions attempting to be weighed in the body-mind, correlated with the subconscious. Leave it. Forget it.
7. (Q) I told several people my history and shook hands in emphasized manner with each of them. I saw Mark Eisner and same thing with him. I noted piano records and many other objects in a pile and wondered at them. Voice: "All premeditated." (A) The building, the lessons, the truths as are expended by self in the history of the soul in the earth's plane and its development, as of the roll of music that gives its various impressions by fulfilling the place or niche

intended for same; and as the entity views this, there should come that more determined expression of self, in the giving of the message to others, to UNDERSTAND the affairs or the ways of life. Then do that.
8. That is all the dreams and questions.
9. We have many more of them here. We are through, then, for the present.
