3. (Q) Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, August 3 or 4, 1926. Was on a boat with [136], [137] and others that toured certain points, then returned to a sort of inside landing place. I noticed the ocean rushing at one end. They told me to wait until the boat docked at another part of the pier - her own place. This I did and in meantime saw a "Manilla" boat smaller in size. "She makes regular trips and often," they told me. When we disembarked I noticed that we were walking over what seemed glass enclosed hands of dead people. I didn't like the idea, but proceeded. (A) The last is the portion that is the greater lesson as is seen in this vision. The boat and the individuals are as those conditions as pertain to the action of conditions as related to individuals, see? These, then, are as emblematical conditions, and not as of conditions that would happen, see? for, as is seen in this, there is presented those things that would bring fear, consternation, trouble, worry, of the mental and physical being. These are as that warning as has been given, as in fear there come those conditions that are as hindrances in the physical, mental and spiritual well-being, for, as has been given, "Fear not. I am with thee." Who should, then, be afraid?
4. (Q) My mother and I were over to the [4255]'s home and they were there, as was Henry Son and [137] and [140]. My mother was crying, looked terrible, particularly black about the eyes. She carried on fierce. Referring to me, she said: "He hasn't even given me enough money to pay for food - shouldn't he do that?" "If he owes it to you, he should,"

they replied, looking at me angrily. I felt mortified and asked for a blank check, which was immediately furnished me. I wrote out the amount called for, but wondered how I was going to meet the money at the bank. Terribly humiliated, I left there with [137]. "Don't say anything and try not to think of it." I told [137]. He was blue as could be. Further along I started to talk of it. "Now, [900]," said [137], "you told me not to." I kept quiet and upon reaching home noticed the upset condition of the house and the darkened outlook. Among other sufferings, I knew not where to turn for funds. I was suffering terribly and finally the tears came. (A) Again those conditions as respecting individuals and that as is transpiring, mentally, in the minds of individuals as seen, and as these conditions present those of unseeming conditions, ones that would be in the way and manner of those that would be consternation, those that would be of the unrequiting conditions for the mental of the entity, yet, as is seen in the tranquil change as is presented by the individuals, so is that as is seen in the heart, mind and being of individuals as are acted upon by fear, and those that would treat that same condition as with love. Some people call this condition as one hypnotizing, or mesmerizing other individuals, it being the essence of that force as is manifest in the physical world of that force that is the impelling, and as to how same may be used, may be applied the results and the outgrowths of same, are as those as have been experienced by many, for, as the truth of same is seen: Never may this be used save as in that same law as is seen in the creative energy, of which it is a portion. Never, then, as detrimental, but as that that would be good for all, for without thought of self, self is expended for the good of all, as is seen in all creative energy as is manifested in the material world. Then, as is seen in this - as these relations are presented - as is seen that death itself, even, may enter in and this bring this unrequited condition, yet the same element that produces birth produces death, and they are one, and the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning in same - so in respect of individuals' association one with another. As has been given, "Though He were the Son, and rebuked by His inferiors, yet railed He not them" for the essence of the creative energy necessary for expenditure, that the force as manifested may be One with that creative energy.
5. (Q) July 28, 29 - night or morning. Saw Sidney Wormser and a friend of his and they were about to be engaged in marriage - that is, both Sidney and the man friend. I

congratulated them - but Waxelbaum, the friend, seemed undressed and uncouth. (A) Again we have presented that which, were it understood by the entity (that as has just been given), would be more easily understood in the mental forces of same. There is presented in this, as we see, two individuals, of two different positions, socially and financially, each entering in a position - one in which that is impossible, the other as has already entered - yet both seem to be entering that as is seen to the physical mental-mind as the highest state of association, morally, mentally, socially, in the life of individuals in the earth's plane, see? This condition then representing that element in the development of the entity, [900], see? and, as these enter in, some are seen to appear uncouth, not prepared, as would be viewed from the state of the mind from the individual, see? from the exterior view, or the outside view, see? yet that as is seen taking place represents, then, that as is taking place in the mind of the entity, [900], OR those about him as concerning the development towards that which the entity would give to others, that would and WILL become as tenets to lead others to that position. As has been given, the Son was as the bridegroom, see?
6. (Q) With them we reparied to the bridal feast. There at that table sat the many, all rebellious, feasting, drinking and mocking. One in tuxedo laughed and was sarcastic, and boasted that he was a disowned son. I felt remorse and far removed from these people - very much ill at ease. (A) This rather the continuation of the same condition and that as of the enjoying of same, as may be applied in the life of the individual itself, which is easy to apply here, with those as have been seen and given.
7. (Q) Then my mother sought to join one of them in marriage. Feeling I should not stand in her way, I consented - then later repented. (A) Same condition as is represented in that as given, though presented in a different manner, as would be the relations as in reference to the entity and those whom the entity would serve (the entity, [900]) - the individuals as seen, friends, family, and foes alike.
8. We are through for the present.
