Time of Reading 12:00 Noon - Eastern Standard Time. New York City, N.Y.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], of ... St., N.Y. 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, of [900]. This we have had here before.
3. The dreams, as we see, come through those channels in the manner as has been outlined for the entity, and are to be applied in the way and manner as has been given for the entity to use same. More and more does the entity find that closer draws those forces about the body conscious or the mental mind of the entity, and easier - as it is seen by the consciousness - do those forces as are given in the manifestation of spiritual forces come, and are coming, to the entity. More and more should the entity heed the call of same, and for self gain the knowledge, the understanding, that the ways of the affairs of the entity - and the phases of life through which the entity passes - may be better understood.
4. Ready for dream.
5. (Q) Saturday morning, Aug. 13, 1927. Saw Adolph Gunzendorfer. He was searching for a stock to buy. He seemed to find one - it seemed like American Radiator, altho I'm not now sure I remember. The Voice indicated that stock as o.k. and going up, but it said: "Not Manhattan Electrical Supply." (A) In this there is seen the entity gains the insight into those conditions as respecting certain individual industrials and the general trend.
The seeing of the individual, Gunzendorfer, representing a specific character to the entity - that of one that acts in the deliberate way and manner, yet is always most certain
900-333 Page 2
that the correct attitude and position is taken as respecting purchasing of stocks. That as seen in the name representing, then, the character of stock - and that as seen, that "not certain stock" being that, while the general trend is to be bettered; yet with this shadow hanging over all, as it were - that the progress in advance will be slow and halting from time to time. Falling away in quantities, yet in quality of advance secure.
6. (Q) Of recent date. Now about moving objects. First I reasoned that the source through Cayce was opposed to going into this phase of the phenomena. The Voice answered that no opposition to my getting this interpreted, but it was for me and my understanding, not yet for others. It was for the individual, and I woke up with the distinct impression that I should take the reading or have it taken (felt I should take it) when so called outsiders were not listening to that being given. Then the whole thing would be shown me. The impression was very pronounced that it was for me and my understanding alone and not for example to be made part of our general work. In the dream I beheld silver spoons, also spirits in the borderland. "Now then, I asked them, "Can you move these inanimate objects or can you not?" Of course they had known of that question existing in my consciousness, or the dream or borderland experience would never have occurred. The answer came from my own memory when I recalled the shaking of the bed by [139] spirit. Then the spirits showed me how they could operate with the subsisting force in materialized form to influence the activity or condition as result in movement of inanimate objects. Finally the Voice spoke and told me that if I chose, I could demonstrate this to myself, for myself, using spoons or silverware upon the table to do so. That a spoon or fork, etc., would be moved without any external impetus, if I knew how to myself perform this experiment for myself. That I should ask the readings just how to go about this. Since the opportunity has been offered me, and the honor conferred upon me by my spirit father, and I do choose, then I ask to be instructed in this matter and told how I may be the connecting channel between the cosmic or spirit, and materialized spirit plane and so literally manifest such a linking channel and myself to be that or both. (A) In this there are seen the many varying conditions as present themselves to the body conscious mind of the entity as regarding some specific phase of spirit communication, and there is seen the various phases of mental or body conscious reasoning as respecting the condition. There is seen the body goes after and is given that the body
900-333 Page 3
consciousness should obtain such information as to how these may be accomplished as a demonstration to the body consciousness of the material activity of such spirit force in material plane. The body consciousness again reasons with the subconscious forces of the entity, having had the full demonstration of such an experiment, and the body consciousness again reasons that this came without the desire or intent of the consciousness of such to occur. Again the body consciousness reasons with the subconscious forces of self and seeks to make same a matter of intent and purport to call such forces into activity, seeking the manner in which same may be attained.
Now we find there are many different sources and many different channels through which the entity itself may obtain such information, and may obtain such LITERAL demonstration. First there is seen the entity should ask for such information that may be seen in a different way and manner by asking through those sources as has been given that it should seek for the physical manifestation of those spirit forces acting with the intent of the entity. When the entity sees, obtain such, then through these channels for self there will be given, then, that force, that supply, through these same channels of how the various phases of silver and its adherent force - and its vibratory action with the various forces as are manifested in spirit communication - may exhibit to the entity those various phases of this same condition. Yet the body will find that such partakes of self's strength and vitality. Step lightly, then, to those border edges, and in seeking information from the borderland in the activities of such forces, be first well grounded in self's own stability, that there may be the correct dissemination, and secondly, be of the very negative mindedness towards desirelessness to use this information as will be then furnished. Prepare thyself then for such.
7. We are through for the present.
