3. (Q) Saturday Morning, Feb. 26, 1927. I was in my GRANDMOTHER'S home. There I felt the presence of the mystic and understood it as the existence of other awarenesses in consciousness all about me, altho I could not see sensuously those about me. (Time and time again I see those flashes, especially when I teach [136] and hit upon some truth that I drive home, the mist or flash or light or shadows appear instantaneously, and I know for that moment that I and the Universal Forces are one - i.e. that for that second I have experienced the fundamental center of my moral, or eternal being in conjunction with its intellectual manifestation as one.) Feeling the presence of many who are about me, including my grandmother, I heard the voice say: "Mercury." (A) (After a pause) These impressions, these flashes, as are gained by the entity are as that experience of that oneness as is felt by the entity, and to gain the better understanding of same we give this as the condition, which is as parallel to the experience from one in the spirit land, from the cosmic forces from the universal position, condition, of an individual entity. When the body physical lays aside the material body, that in the physical called soul becomes the body of the entity, and that called the superconscious the consciousness of the entity, as the subconscious is to the physical body. The subconscious the mind or intellect of the body. The flashes then seen, is: As this entity, for the second, or for that space, was emptied, the consciousness of the entity, or SOUL, conscious of conditions. Hence, as the voice responds to the working

of this subconscious experience, the entity gains that dwelling place, sphere, plane, of the individual presence felt - for each sphere is as of the abode in that experience and place chosen as place of residence - one - by the consciousness of the material or physical body. Sun - Dr. Sun.
4. (Q) I was in my grandmother's home and they were painting it, and I still felt the presence. I saw my grandmother's outline more definitely. I heard mention made of a branch of my study of anatomy - i.e. the word "Polispermy". [Polyspermy] (A) The elements again are seen of the closeness of the entity's appearance to the conditions as given entering the astral body, or soul body - for the consciousness as felt of presence is as of those conditions that are brought about by the body conscious mind being centered in one direction, or concentration of the mental forces, and in this manner - when the sensuous consciousness is laid aside - the real meaning of the various conditions in the anatomical forces is as one, and the seeing and hearing of these various conditions is as presenting to that consciousness the law of appliance of such elements in the physical action of the material body. As is seen in this: Many of these will be presented whenever the entity enters this plane, see?
5. (Q) I returned to a hotel room, I showed many the room and thought it was good. "Why do you go around without a bathrobe on in your underwear?" a lady asked. "O, what difference," I replied. My mind was on other things. I wanted to show them my room. "You haven't even a bath," a lady said. "O yes he has," [137] spoke up and showed it to them. "But look at all this," they said, pointing to glasses and cups for liquor on the dresser and also to flags and banners on the wall and to a general disorderly condition of the room. They were all very well dressed, but I seemed something apart from them. They drank, made merry and did things I would not join them in, altho I didn't reprove them. They seemed to not like me and my environment. Yet they did beg me to stay longer, but I said I had to get the train back to N.Y. It took two nights and a day, it seemed (as from New Orleans), to get home, and I wanted to be in the office for Monday morning's opening of Exchange. "What if you do get there Tuesday instead of Monday?" they said. I debated, but thought it best to return. (A) In this again we find that correlation from the material or mental, or conscious mind, the various aspects of sensuous consciousness viewing those conditions of the subconscious soul body of the entity in its appearance, and

in its showing or giving or measuring out to those who seek the inner dwelling, or the inner consciousness, as the entity would show to others, and the dress then representing that manner in which the entity attempts to bring others to the understanding, as does the place of abode and the various conditions as respecting same, and those that would come, as it were, to the aid of the entity in bringing the more perfect understanding. Then, as we see, it turns again to the more sensuous-minded conditions of travel, and of business, and - as is seen - thought of the fuller conception is also in the sensuous-minded conditions. Not as that of bringing condemnation to the entity, but rather the vision of the entity's manner of presenting or of manifesting self's understanding to others, in such a manner as to give the more perfect understanding to those who seek. Much more of this will be seen by the entity from time to time. Dr. Sun.
6. (Q) What is meant by Dr. Sun? (A) Dr. Sun speaking.
7. (Q) [136] in dream also saw that I was tired of fighting and desired to return to N.Y. and my baby. Any connection? (A) No connection - only that of that as has been given, that in the two there is strength, in the union of purpose and intent - for of the purpose and intent is the mind builded, and the mind is the builder.
8. We are through for the present.
