1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], ... St., N.Y. City, and the dreams this body had on 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, the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had here before. The dreams, the visions, the impressions, as are gained through dreams, are as those experiences of the various phases of the mentality of the entity in, through or by those means as have been given. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) Sunday Morning, Oct. 24, 1926. "Study to get the settings of your reincarnation periods." (A) In this there is given that injunction from the subconscious to the body conscious mind, that of the warning or the injunction as to how the entity may make those of the truths given in the writing more in keeping with those conditions that will better present to those whom would study same conditions as may be studied - for, as is seen, in gaining truth man must consider those of these conditions, as how the man may gather the import: To whom the word is spoken, from whom the word comes, how, when, where, and under what circumstance. As is seen in these, as the reference given, in that of the Grecian may be found in the description of Trojan Wars by Iliad, and of the Israelite or the Jewish in that of Hezekiah, Nehemiah, Ezekiel, from the Biblical writings, or from the return of Israel from Assyria, or that portion as has been described by the various writers of ancient Persia, ancient Palestine, see? Josephus - picking portions. These give descriptions of the period, the labors, the mode of warfare, of communication, and much of the trend of thought.
In the Egyptian, most will be gained through those sources as supply the first information, for only the exact records

have not yet been made public, or in such manner as will give the correct condition or position of the peoples during that period - for this period we find following the conquering of the Egyptian country by the peoples of the north or hill country, and the entity then among those who were the learned of the conquered people. The people coming in, or the hills people, using the ways of warfare in that of the sling, and of those projections as were fastened to beasts and turning beasts loose on the people, who were TRAINED ANIMALS to destroy the foes or enemies of the invaders - and, as is later seen, there becomes much of this same training in the Egyptian hill country, in which animals - bulls, bear, and the leopard, and the hawk, are trained to give the warfare against peoples that would give war to these groups.
The modes of transportation were the end of the lighter-than-air crafts, the floating of wood or timbers in rafts and forms of boats, and of beasts of burden, and of afoot - being the war channels, see? and modes of transportation. Little of carriages, or wagons, or slides, had then been introduced by the invaders. The Egyptian presenting a different standard. These were then, when conquered, not a warlike people - one not prepared for defense or of a way of defending self. Weapons only used in agriculture and in building, and these presenting the only modes of defense by the peoples during that period. Those of transportation being by that of the wheel and of the ox, and the beasts that were trained as domestic for the service of agriculture and of building, see? Hence we see from this condition the OUTGROWTH of the conditions presenting themselves in this land when the hill or SOUTH country of Egyptian peoples again came to power. This rather as proofs or conditions to be drawn upon, than of conditions as presented at the period the entity sojourned there.
4. (Q) What were their amusements, chief occupation, and national, family and individual interests? (A) As has been given. This as has been given outlines those conditions of the now Egyptian country - agriculture and the buildings. That, as is seen, represented the whole of conditions to the people at the period when they were conquered, see? AFTERWARDS these show, as has been presented, this great change as comes, as the conqueror dies and the younger ruler comes to the position as sovereign. Then the change comes in presenting the various forms of conditions as brought in from the foreign - or the conquerors bring - and a combination of conditions of the

peoples of the period. The unearthing of the various tablets, various conditions, or as would be termed archeology, was to the people of that period as much of a science as it is to-day - 1926, see? and the buildings and the various conditions represented more of the national life than these conditions represent to-day.
In the Israel, or the return, this is laid out very emphatically, very distinctly, in references as are seen in that of the Nehemiah, Ezra, Hezekiah, and the various writers of that period, see? Just as those are seen in the Grecian when the various developments of the athletic conditions enter in, see?
These only as are seen in the references in the book may be given as references, but not too much dwelling upon the periods of the day, also the lesson or truth as would be given would be lost sight of. Just sufficient references made that one may know the entity speaks in the manner of one knowing the conditions, see?
5. We are through for the present.
