Time of Reading 11:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.
1. By development of mind (Life Reading), intellectual ability and sincerity of purpose she is fitted for same.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], of ... St., New York City, 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 them to you, and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had here before.
2. She has friends who are becoming members, altho they have not had much if any experience in the work, [136] would have much to do among these and would represent them on board and lend it prestige in their eyes.
3. [136] will donate financially, as well as render personal service.
3. The dreams come through those channels as have been given for the entity, and are to be used and applied in the way - and ways - as has been given. Ready for dream.
4. [139], her spirit mother and guide has told me that it would please her to have it so."
"Do not forget the ladies in the wonderful work," she told me. Here again I got the impression that [136] would render much to the research work thru the mother. (A) In this interview as is seen and experienced by the entity, we find there enters first many various phases of phenomena that may be termed as psychic forces, manifesting through the entity both as to spiritual presentation and as to self's inner consciousness or subconscious reasoning with conditions as existed from within toward the outer appearance, or outer field - and in this manner these conditions should be studied by the entity.
As for the lesson as may be gained; the interview - from that given - of the father shows how the lessons are being

gained by the entity from one hand. The reasoning as respecting position and conditions of mother and wife, and relations with the phenomena as is being studied, shows the development in this field both for self, wife, and for those that would aid in the development of the information given to others. This, then, offers in the manner given the correct solution for the conditions, see?
As for that as presented in the condition where trouble would arise, here we have another condition wherein that the same forces as apply may be applied HERE - and THIS entity as seen would fill a place that could not be filled by OTHERS; for, as is seen and as has been given, each that were associated in one condition, position, in the development of man's relation to the spiritual forces and spiritual developments in the earth's plane, should be those associated in the present undertaking. This one - these two - these THREE - we find - the entity [900], the wife [136], [903] - ALL were in various positions in this period, and should be banded - BANDED - in one purpose to give understanding to the peoples at the present time.
4. (Q) Morning of August 6, 1927. My father, my interviewer, reminding me of his ability to understand human nature while in the flesh and now helping me from his present viewpoint in this. Then in relation to my mother. I asked her for a donation to the work. She replied that she thought she would be just as happy seeing me in the work, and watching the pictures. That she would watch me in relation to the work and get her pleasure that way, rather than from intimate relationship with the work. I was disappointed but suggested that she resign and that I would try and have [136] replace her on the board. Trouble with [257]'s wife [903] suggested itself. "But," I replied, "[136]'s fitted and should be on the board for the following four definite reasons:
5. (Q) Then advise us. Should [136] be voted on to the board? (A) Should be voted on to the board, as given - as should [903], should she desire to be a member of same.
6. (Q) How best meet any objection from [257] if she should? (A) Be no objection!
7. (Q) Next came a study of [136]'s sister [3816] and her old intimate friend Louise [...], now Louise [...]. We wrote both a letter telling them of our hospital work and of its educational as well as medical phase. We pointed out that, altho our house and the hospital were connected, each had its own separate entrance. Then I saw a mirror at such an angle that only by getting into a certain position could

I see myself reflected. This seemed more to do with the next dream than with the first part of this dream. (A) In this we have only the portion as is given, so we may see the two together here in the one. We find there is given (this as the lesson the entity should gain from same) the understanding to the entity in the illustrated manner of how that the entity - and those associated with same in the study of self and others - finds the mental abilities spreading, reaching for those to whom there are the physical attractions concerning any phase of such phenomena. The letters, the understanding, the relations, then, should be GIVEN, and let them be considered, acted upon, by the entities themselves.
The mirror presenting that phase to the entity, that as this reflection comes to self, so does self reflect what is attempted or is being attempted in the eyes of others, and as the reflection from same is seen - or as same responds to the various developments of another entity - so MUCH of the good is seen, or so little is exhibited - see?
8. (Q) I took my pad and pencil to write a daily column for the newspapers and I started by using man's flying thru air in a machine as an exemplification of Man in potentiality being able to transcend and encompass the potential quality of space - that while flesh needs the machine, the spirit entity or soul is the machine and the mind the controller. As the aeroplane is the machine, and man's mind the controller, so man's inner potential body or energy becomes the machine and his subconscious mind, that encompasses space in viewpoint, its controller. Then enlarging upon this I wrote my daily articles. I was admonished to take my pad and pencil and DO THIS NOW. (A) Again and again is there given to the entity the incentive, and command, for the giving to others of the thoughts, of the lessons as have been gained by the entity - for, as has oft been given, in expression, in manifesting these lessons to others, in the way and manner that others may be the gainer thereby, the greater becomes the ability of the entity - for, as is seen in the vision, that is as of the subconscious reasoning or giving the illustration, that the entity may use in those communications to those who seek to gain knowledge through the sources of the study of forces as are being made manifest, and as are being studied by the entity.
9. We are through for the present.
