Time of Reading 10:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Deal, N.J.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], of ..., Deal, N.J., 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 here. This we have had before. The dreams as come to the entity are of those experiences through those channels as have been outlined, and are for the edification of the entity through one of the ways or manners as have been outlined. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Saturday Night, July 3, or Sunday Morning, July 4, 1926. Breeding is a matter that takes place in the realm of Man. (A) This as a statement. Not a dream, not a vision.
4. (Q) In other words, it is my choice to have or not to have a child, yet despite that freedom of will to use the forces of the Creator stored within myself as I see fit, either yea or nay, I have nothing to do with the actual work done by that force that causes creation. I set the force in motion, just as I do when I set it in motion along other lines (formation of habit, memory, consciousness). (A) (Interrupting) Correct.
5. (Q) (Continuing) Then the power that acts to create follows the line of impulse given, (in its physical) and creates of an energy stored in a physical body another physical body, projecting therein an individual portion of itself, that the One embraces. How does this individual consciousness - this spiritually stored subconscious energy become part of that division of a physical body that when under proper conditions transforms itself into another body and phenomenized form, inheriting its qualities of the channel used (in parents), and also the entity of awareness awaiting to become part of this 3 dimensional phenomenized activity. How does this latter become apart of the newly born baby? (A) That the spiritual force and its propagation. Its becoming a part is as may be described in two ways. Just as

a drop of water from the ocean is of all the component part of the ocean, yet is not the ocean when separated, see? Just as this stored energy used or manifested by man, or by the propagation of species, becomes a part by its atomic force separating, giving then a channel through which the spirit force is manifested, or as is seen, all force in the physical world is a channel through which the divine forces manifest to man who has reached that stage of consciousness of such manifested force in a material world, or each and every consciousness becoming to that consciousness of a higher force manifesting, sees, knows, through such channels the force of the created energy, or of God, is manifested, and this action, as has been given. Often there are those conditions which to the finite mind [it] is incapable of grasping, yet we see those manifestations in actions, and such is that as is taking place when stored energy of one creative force gives to another energy that ability to create, propagate, within itself that which is called the preservation of the species throughout the material plane.
6. (Q) Explain in the light of inheritance and evolution, in line with that I am now writing on that subject. (A) That's just given. Follow that line - for there may be much said as respecting this condition, for in this force and in this manifestation of the material world, and of the creative energy as is manifested, is the stumbling block to many peoples, for evolution is as of a fact in the mind of the creative energy, and the will of the energy creating is of the higher forces, same as the will of the individual in the higher species, or as in man in propagating species, yet there may be those physical conditions as existing which prevent such propagation, see? with the will manifested correctly, yet there may exist that physical condition within the body which prevents such conditions taking place, yet the species may be propagated through that variation, and the variation or the acceptance of the condition is the proof of the heredity, of the environmental conditions, and not a disproval of the spirit forces as manifesting in the material world, for the same germinate (?) [germinative] condition exists in the species of the higher creation as of the lower creation, for the motive energy is from the divine, and is to that consciousness as has attained to that consciousness of the higher dimension, or of the higher evolution of mind within species as to see that this condition existing is the manifestation, literal, spiritual, physical being of the manifestation of the divine forces in the material world.
7. We are through with this reading.
