Time of Reading 11:50 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 I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had here before. The dreams, the vision, the impressions, as we see, come through those channels as have been outlined to the entity, and the various phases of the consciousness as is attained by the entity in such vision, or dream, are those experiences that give the entity that mental balance for the full development of same. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) July 29th or 30th, 1926. A large room with lace covered table and sideboard. Telephones a plenty were located on both the table and sideboard. I answered one and the voice on the other end seemed Etta Redell's, inquiring about V. stock. I asked if she wanted to buy or sell and she, after consulting some big man, said "SELL." I asked how many hundred and she, after again consulting, replied that she or her principal desired to sell 26 thousand some hundred shares. I was startled at the big amount and called [137] to go over to the floor and get the market at once. Realizing the size of the order he started at once for the floor, but instead of going as usual went over the roof of a house top. While there he phoned to sell 100 shares of V. for ourselves and as I told him or called to him to hurry up, he motioned back at me irritably: "Keep quiet - I know what I'm doing." Etta Redell grew impatient and I called for a market on the stock over the floor wire. "How's that market down there?" I cried, and then all the phones started to ring and I grew very busy and was doing a very large volume of business. The quote in V. finally came 21 1/8 - 22. (A) In this there is that combination of circumstances or

experiences in the entity's vision as are being experienced in the physical forces of the body, and as these are seen, gives the entity that insight, as it were, of the experiences of the physical to come in this emblematical way. As is seen, the vision of room, cloth, finery, phones, represent that of the character, or, to be specific, as is seen, an individual represents the character of customers to whom the entity is to appeal, through those of the visits, as it were, for the entity to make, as has been given as concerning the business. The increase, the volume, the amounts, then, show as to how this increases under such action. The handling of same shows as what will be necessary for the entity to do in the way and manner to handle same when these appear. Then, as is seen, the lesson in same is as that as the entity has taken for self. Not representing an individual stock. Not representing an individual action as is to be taken, but that as the general, or the whole condition, as is seen, and as has been given to the entity, this as an experience as to what to expect to happen when such conditions are carried out. Then do it.
4. (Q) "[4255] came in, seemingly with her baby granddaughter, [143]. [4255] said to me: '[900], I want to apologize for all I've done to you. I'm sorry. Will you forgive me?' 'Of course,' I said, 'That is all past now. Let bygones be by-gones.' Then she gave me two bread rolls wrapped in oil tissue paper. I thanked her and then I started to love [143] and call her sweetheart. 'O, [900],' said [4255], irritably, 'That is enough.' I felt chagrined and stopped, but [143] seemed to manifest a love for me and desire of the bread to eat that [4255] had given me. The latter consented that [143] might have some, so I unwrapped the rolls, broke off a little end piece and fed the baby. (A) In this there is seen again an emblematical condition as regarding that of casting the bread upon the waters, "and in many days it shall be returned to thee," and, as this is as of that same experience, then take the lesson - heed, then, that as has been given as concerning the individual, and the relations and associations with same, for through this manner, through this means of the casting of the bread, as it were, will come that which will make the better conditions for all, individually and collectively, concerned in same.
5. (Q) Then it seemed my mother died and I was heartbroken and weeping. Fritz B. was trying to console me, telling me those things had to happen. Because of complicated conditions in her affairs, the legal end of her estate to

[137] and I worried me and I said we'd better call in a good lawyer. Instead of the latter, my mother came in and then it seemed someone else had died - not my mother - yet she was to die later. (A) In these conditions there are presented those phases of those conditions in which the entity has recently been studying - those as relating to death and its relation to the body physical, for, as is seen in these emblematical ways and forms, there is seen as this as the study of those conditions: In LIFE - physical living - prepare for those conditions through which the ENTITY, as the whole, enters in its consciousness of the spirit. See? for, as is seen in the physical, in THAT plane, the physical must prepare for those conditions that may, might, could, or do arise when the physical has passed into the death plane. Also in the physical prepare for those conditions wherein the consciousnesses of the entity is to act in that capacity, see?
6. (Q) [136]: "Someone will die in 1926," she said - "not necessarily your mother yet. She will die, though, in 1928." (A) This again that same condition as has been given - that of the study of that as the entity is carrying within the mental forces of same, as concerning consciousness, or consciousness from one plane, or from one dimension to another dimension, see? Not an indication of the death of any individual. Rather that as of a condition of a consciousness, for, as is seen, the vision as is seen, one consciousness in one dimension viewing a condition of a consciousness in another dimension, while all are of one and the same.
7. We are through for the present.
