Time of Reading 11:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.
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 same to you, and you will answer the questions I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had here before.
3. The dreams, the visions, in their various phases represent and present to the body mind for the full, or a study of the greater conceptions by the body consciousness of the various phases of phenomena of life as are presented in those conditions that are as pointers, lessons, or parables for the consideration of the entity, that in the actions these truths may become applicable in the life's action of the entity. Ready for dream.
4. (Q) On the train homeward bound from Virginia Beach. I was told: "On the 20th or 21st an immoral or unmoral vision." (A) In the vision as has been see by the body in relation to this there is presented various phases of the response from the body consciousness in its creative activity through the mind of aspects as pertain to the actions of individuals in that called immoral, unmoral actions in life. On the 20th, 21st, there again will be presented those truths in this same emblematical way and manner that will give a further understanding by the entity of why individuals respond to such conditions in their life action when their lives in the outward appearance are so diagonal or opposed to such conditions, or why man as man is often guilty of immoral action in the mind - for, as was given by the Master that it has been written that man shall not commit adultery, "Yet I say unto thee that he that looketh on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery already." Here we see the change in the application of the lesson as respecting those of morality as was governed under the law, taking the actual
900-347 Page 2
fact in action to produce that man called guilty of, while in the law of love we find that the greater sin may be in the desire of flesh towards the gratification of fleshly lusts, and in that manner the moralist may be the greater immoral person, and that in such action the results are the fruit of that as is gained through that activity of the body mind, the body consciousness, the INNER consciousness of an individual. Keep thine HEART pure, that the issues therefrom may be in keeping wholly to that of the body mind and body activity.
5. (Q) What is its cause? Astrological? Mental? Physical? (A) Partaking as is seen by the variation in the illustration given, the individual affected more by application of will toward the experience of the soul body.
6. (Q) Such a vision I beheld morning of Oct. 14th. Is - (A) Just as given, this as the preamble or prelude to that as will be seen by the entity; for, as has been given, the entity finds more and more that occurring that brings to mind consciousness those conditions as has been given as a form or criterion of the entity's own development, the abilities to see into that called future through the percepts of the intuitive forces being manifest through the individual activity of the consciousnesses of this body, and as these are given, and the body consciousness studies the various phases of that presented, the better understanding is gained through such actions of the mental consciousness of the body - for, as has been given, all is attained in the material world through the application of comparative conditions, whether applying to the mental, physical, spiritual, or whatever pose, class, condition in which one finds study. Through comparison man gains a knowledge of any condition, as one condition, element or substance harder than another by comparing with the density of another - one moral MORAL as compared to a certain given or assumed standard by which such comparison is made. Again in these various experiences these are as comparisons to the mental consciousness of the entity, that the greater scope, field, lesson, understanding is gained by THIS body through such experiences.
As is seen in these lessons in moral and unmoral attitudes that are visioned, and to be visioned by the entity, in comparison of how the individual arrives at that action we find not only the understanding of how one develops towards the given moral attribute of the future, but how that the individual responds to that of the experience through the fleshly lusts or desire with or with not comparing same with that moral lesson in self's own experience. Then, as these
900-347 Page 3
are gained, the entity, the consciousness of this body, may understand the better how that in this phase of man's development the application of that being studied as related to man's development through the earth's sphere, in the various phases of his existence, brings the various phases of development in a greater or lesser degree through that experienced and application of same, with that of the will's force the balancing between the gift and the Giver, and as this phase is studied there is seen how that again that as applied by the Master in that, "He that is guilty of the least of these precepts, commands or lessons, becomes guilty, subject, to all," for in holiness and in ONENESS does the application of all phases of human, fleshly, earthly desire radiate as the entity applies same in the knowledge attained through that experienced. Experience, then, that as gives the greater understanding toward the lessons of this vision. These will then appear. Apply same in that as is being given to thy brother, that the moral aptitude of the individual's life may be understood the better, so that the revolt - as has been termed - in youth of the day is seen to be that of the moralist idea in action being presented in the light, and as was given, "That done in secret shall be shouted from the housetop."
7. We are through for the present.
