1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of Mrs. [2218] present in this room, and her home, mental and business associations and relations. You will answer the questions which we will ask you regarding these, including the administration of the ... estates, also regarding the dreams this body has had in which her son was trying to tell her something. You will answer questions regarding all of these, giving in detail such advice that will be helpful and beneficial to the body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body and the enquiring mind, Mrs. [2218], also those conditions as have surrounded, and do surround the body, the home, the dreams, and the relationships and those conditions, MUCH of which has caused a great deal of mental worry to the body. Much of this produced by the activity of individual, and individuals, who have not so much premeditatedly, but unwisely, acted in a manner betraying much of the trust as had, and has, been given in their keeping. Often has the body been warned as respecting these conditions, from time to time, and how often has the body been warned by the son, who, in that broader sphere of understanding, has, in that way in which the mental forces of the body Mrs. [2218], been able to attune self to the conditions wherein there was attempted an understanding to be made. Had, or would the body NOW need [heed?], study, apply that little as may be felt is known in self, TO those conditions as are given from time to time, a much BETTER understanding and a much better way may be had in these relations as have been so much of worry, when apparently conditions were in the proper shape, again something comes up that worries, or seeming misunderstandings.
3. But to return to those questions as come in the mind, these relations are many, and much may be given the body; for the body in its own self may gain a great insight into conditions in material life, that, will the body but gain the concept of the relationships of life, how all life is one, and all of its relationships are but relative to
2218-1 Page 2
conditions in the spiritual and material plane, and will the body but apply in the ways that the body may itself so do, much may be given. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Were estates administered wisely, to best interest? (A) The way in which the INTENTIONS were given, wisely. The HANDLING, unwisely - as for the interests of those to whom these were INTENDED. We have here - Not well that evil be spoken of any man, but a very wise attorney, and a very easy administrator, may unbalance MANY conditions for the best interest of those WHOM interests are intended, and while not intentional in the beginning, yet to cover and to protect selves may make conditions very bad. These we find here. WE would change attorneys, especially. We would go to one whom the body knows well, whom the body has advised with. This would be the better way, and leave then it - the conditions - in the hands of such an one, and be guided by those conditions as may be presented to the body, even as this: When the body is warned not to allow any individual, giving the who, the what interest presented, then DO NOT allow such an one to know what the actions of self are respecting that special condition. When the body has been so warned, that "WON'T you see - WON'T you believe? WON'T you understand? WON'T you know that it all IS one, and IS well?" Will the body not heed to such admonitions? Then WHO CAN stand in the way of such UNDERSTANDING?
5. (Q) Have no lawyer at present, and never had - but want one. Whom I can trust. Who would be that one? (A) One whom the body knows well, and whom the body can trust. The friend - the friend will be the one.
6. (Q) Have any moneys been withheld from children and myself, which were rightfully mine? (A) In the investigation of the expenditures from the various interests by the attorney, this would show in itself!
7. (Q) Did I receive all that was due me from my son [...]'s estate? (A) No. These need be - hasn't the body been told, been warned as respecting this?
8. (Q) Was his death natural? (A) Natural.
9. (Q) Just what was the cause of his death? (A) This from the conditions in the system that brought the inactivity of the action between the cerebrospinal nerve system and brain.
10. (Q) Is it best for me to leave my investments as they now stand? (A) Very good, in the present position.

11. (Q) Will bonds due December 15th be taken care of at maturity? (A) The intentions are to be at present. They should be. They will be, as seen at present.
12. (Q) Who is it that is trying to get building where business is located? (A) We don't find it!
13. (Q) Regarding the dream - [...], my son, kept telling me something - impressing upon me most forcibly not to forget it, but upon awakening I had. Another time, [...] was telling me something, and was also saying, whatever I did to not let Mr. [...] hear what he had said. (A) In this respect, as has been intimated and given the body may gain much of an understanding as respecting mental, material, and spiritual conditions, Dreams are of three characters, or natures: Those that are of the purely physical, wherein conditions are magnified through the action of the digestive system, and are often called nightmares. In that of the purely mental aberration, or imagination, these have often been designated as suppressed desires, or of those natures innate wherein the self, or the ENTITY - the soul of self - attempts to reason with the purely mental mind. Then there is that condition as has been presented to this body, in that the cosmic forces of the universal force, in which those who have passed from the material or physical plane may attune their selves, their souls, to the MIND of the soul of an individual who has that force in self where in the material is laid aside. Then we find these as here given, that the physical or material is only able to bring that portion to self's consciousness where the individual impressed self upon the activity of the mental force of self. These may be applied in the material sense, either as warnings or as knowledge, or as understanding, and in each may gain that of the assistance of the broader vision of the individual who thus effects the communicating force, or element between same. In these - that as is given in the body was NOT to forget referring to those promises the body often made, that the self would ever remain with the body - absent from BODY, yet in soul and spirit ever present. In that WARNING as GIVEN, THAT AS a warning to protect the body. Cultivate an understanding - apply that known - and more may be given.
14. (Q) What is the significance of my continual dreaming of my husband? (A) Just as has been outlined. Will the body - NOT unbalancing self in mind or way, but heed those conditions that are presented, they STILL may assist, guide, help and COMFORT the body, in the material, the physical, and the
2218-1 Page 4
spiritual plane, and they seek to do such.
15. (Q) Would you recommend a local lawyer, or one from another city? (A) The friend!
16. (Q) Would [...] be advisable? (A) The friend!
17. (Q) The body does not understand who is referred to. Please explain in a way that the body WILL understand who to employ as a lawyer. (A) The friend - that one who has the more often been courteous, kind, and friendly to the body. Seek and ye shall find - Seek and ye shall receive, was not spoken merely of those in any sense.
18. (Q) Is the friend the lawyer, or the one who should be asked regarding who to employ? (A) The friend - this one may counsel and assist the body. Not necessarily the lawyer, but who to employ as attorney in same - an attorney in themselves, as far as that's concerned, but not a LAWYER practising -
19. (Q) Is the friend the one who has been associated with the business - the automobile business? (A) One who has been associated, and knows much of the inside conditions. We are through for the present.
