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 same, as I read same 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. The dreams the indications of the various experiences through those channels as have been outlined to and for the body from period to period, and present various conditions from which the body may gain consciousness in its various phases. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Morning of Nov. 9. It seemed my father's body dug up out of grave and I winced at the odor of the decayed skeleton. The head that I looked for was gone, as it lay in its box. My father and I regarded it, and then the condition seemed to apply to my Uncle [90], who seemed with my father. I determined to stand the hideous sight and odor of decaying flesh and turning the box containing my father's body around I started to teach, preach and lecture to beat old Harry. My Uncle [90] seemed listening in spirit, for his body seemed like my father's. (A) In this we find there presented those conditions in which the body consciousness gains that understanding of how the elements are in the various phases of consciousness, for there is viewed by the physical consciousness of the living the cosmic consciousness of the living in another state, and the sensuous conditions of the physical seem to be in the predominant action as regards same. Then the change and the action of the body consciousness to give and apply the lessons as are gained from the various planes or phases to those even that are in BOTH planes. The lesson, or that as presented, is that as has been held respecting conditions regarding the physical condition of the uncle, and that in the short time there will be that changed condition for the

body - the disintegration. As to the time when this will occur, this will be given to the body again before this happens. As is seen by the lack of the head, yet the viewing of the transition and the act of physical forces as regarding same show that inability to reach same save through spiritual application of lessons as may apply to the living portion of the body, physical and spiritual. THESE, then, are the lessons the entity gains from same.
4. (Q) May anything yet be done? (A) Only that as given, see?
5. (Q) Morning of Nov. 12th. Seems there was a failure - two of them - in the Street. One of the main ones I saw was McConnell. The other I wasn't sure of. Give any information possible concerning this. (A) Here we have presented in that manner in which the information has been given wherein the entity might be able through self to find those presentations where conditions that were to happen, or to come about, or premonition, or the ability of the inner consciousness to reason as to that which would come with the conditions existent that seemingly were unknown to the body. Or the ability to prognosticate (correctly) and to find many reasons for conditions that heretofore, or without this knowledge the entity would be unable to reason from or to. The changes as have taken place respecting the change in those conditions in the Street - this has brought much troubles to many, and these, as seen, are on the verge of being swamped or shaken down through the conditions as have come about from same. Beware lest in same many be caught in the changes that will be brought about by these failures, for unless there is the reckoning from other sources these will come about within the next few days. Then watch for the reaction, see?
