3. (Q) Sunday Night, May 9, 1926. Back again to scene before [136] and I were married, to her home just before the wedding. Our guests and many were there, and these were days of hope and happy anticipation. Coming in from a day's activity, I decided to go upstairs and dress for dinner and the evening activities. I desired also to rest. [136] called to others that I so intended, telling them of my plans and also of her decision to follow me, accompanying me up stairs. We passed a basket or baskets full of dirty wash - soiled linen. "Look at all the dirty wash this week," I pointed out to [136]. Then we entered a room and saw Mrs. [139] lying on a couch. She seemed sick, as she was here in N.Y. [136] entered first and called out that her mother looked sick, very sick, and as I entered I saw her face ashen pale as I saw it in death a short while ago. "She is dead now," I answered [136]. Then she opened her eyes - weak blood shot eyes they were, with a far away look. Even so I saw them just before they closed forever. I took her in my arms. "I am not going to be with you, now, much longer," she said weakly. "Yes you will," I said encouragingly. "My limbs are stiff," she said. So they were - paralyzed before death. "You have been sleeping without a cover," called [136]. "Yes," I joined in, glad to make some excuse that would have encouraging effect, "You have been sleeping with no cover on." She lifted her limbs up into the air, striving for flexibility. "I am not going to be with you much longer," she repeated, looking up at me,

as I held her in my arms. (A) There's more of this.
4. (Q) (Continuing) Then I told [137] of my vision and we decided he would interpret it for me through his psychic powers. He lay down as Cayce does and went to sleep and I presented the above vision. [137] began to talk as does Cayce, saying: "Yes, we have the body and vision here. These experiences will come and happen to the entity in the afternoon to come." (I wondered what the afternoon had to do with it, when the vision took place during the night.) Here I left [137] asleep to tend to other matters. The next thing we knew [137] awakened but was paralyzed in one eye, and my mother blamed me for leaving him asleep in the psychic work. My mother blamed the whole psychic work and condemned me terribly. I felt badly, chiefly because I knew it was not the psychic work that had hurt [137], but rather my neglecting to properly awaken him after he had become asleep. Started in the psychic condition I had not properly brought him out of it - thus his paralysis. I was sorry, but helpless. (A) In this vision we find there is reviewed by the entity, through the subconscious forces, those conditions that have been in the times just preceding this, or portions of the conversation in the day before this happened. As entity will see, this, in the emblematical manner, presents to the entity a portion of that as has been given to the entity - to take stock of the conditions in the mental development of the entity, in much the same manner as the balance would be drawn on books. In this we first have the vision of that preceding the study of the phenomena in the serious manner, and as is seen represented by the days preceding the marriage, as has often been expressed through that of the religious forces as the bride, or the church, or the taking on of new vows. In the passing there is seen the dirty wash, or that representing that a change is taking place, and then the portions, or visions, concerning the phenomena as may be taken as aid for physical suffering, and the good or bad that may be acquired through same. Then the expression of the attempt to gain through psychic forces the interpretation of a, or THE, vision as seen, and the experience as is found in same.
Then, in the lesson as the whole - is rather that the entity, through self, may gain the way or manner in which the balance, as given, may be drawn by same, as concerning the study undertaken, and that which has been accomplished more easily seen or ascertained, and the various phases show

how that either condemnation or that of good may come through the action of individuals, in their way and manner of meeting, or of handling, or of USING, that as is seen, found, or gained, in experience, in association and connection with each phase of the phenomena as is being studied by the entity. Not as individual circumstances. Not as individual lessons. Rather as a perspective of the conditions as, and through which, the entity, [900] has passed, does view now, as from a higher ground that through which the entity passed, and reaches then to that vision, or that promise as has been made, or given - in that being faithful, and through service learning the great lessons; applying same then in the way and manner that will not bring condemnation to self, either from individuals' comment, action or manner; applying then this, in this manner, entity gains visions of how, why, and to what purpose, these may be applied in the life of self, and in the applying them to the life of self, the application of same, as every condition as pertains to truths, is the action in same concerning others.
