1. Night or morning of May 17, 1929. [4666] Motor Company had a large plant some place, and also had an organization to help the poor and needy. There were two negroes - one a man and the other a woman - working for us in the service station. We caught them stealing things and money that didn't belong to them. We fired them. They got angry at [195] and myself. We then went about one block away, and the negro man was there trying to start trouble. He wanted to fight [195], who was down below me on the level with the negro. About fifteen feet away there was another big white man who was supposed to be [195]'s bodyguard. [195] was back under this tressel, as was also this big white man - who was between [195] and the negro. The negro man got up and started to cause trouble. I told him to stop or I would kill him. He grabbed a two inch black pipe about six feet long, drew it back and wanted to hit the white man and [195]. The bodyguard was afraid of the negro and tried to run away, crawling through some place and leaving [195] hemmed in where he could not get out. The negro hit the white man across the head and tried, as he started to crawl through this place, to hit [195]. I hit the negro in the head and killed him with a pipe or something in my hand. [195] was worried for me. I told him I killed the negro to save his life. Everything was alright, and I awoke and recalled the vision, went back to sleep and there followed the second vision.
1. MHB: Now you will have before you [4666] of ..., Ohio. You will interpret and explain the three dreams had by him that I have written on the yellow paper before me. You will answer questions regarding same. [See record of dreams following rdg.]
2. EC: We have the body, [4666]. This we have had before. Also the dream or vision, or experience of the body, as indicated here on the yellow sheet. In this there is seen the fear or dread as experienced by the body through the
4666-5 Page 2
factors as enter in to make the body afraid. And in the dream being presented three times, with just that change necessary as to make, as it were, more of the warning as concerning how that others, all unaware of those as are endeavoring to develop something, or in an unguarded moment those so working with same might, or would, give the opportunity for others to gain some knowledge concerning same. Yet the continued reaction by the body of the ability to extricate self and others from the dilemma, as seen by destroying the body or bodies of those that interfered, shows to the body rather that of the overtaxing of self as regarding fear that would prevent the body's giving its best in every sense for the development of that as is under the direction of [4666] and associates. Then the lesson, rather that not so much care be given as to undo self or self's ability of self or associates, for what profiteth it one to gain ALL and not be able to physically OR mentally enjoy same, in seeing the fruits of the labors of the hand? for oft, as has been given, one may plant but another eateth of the fruit thereof. This as one that would burn the candle, as it were, at both ends. Being, then, not unmindful of care, but let the greater care rest in and with those who also assist in the building. See?
2. I returned to the upper level, where the office of the corporation was. There was a beautiful marble stone outside, about ten feet wide and very long. I knew the gangsters were trying to get rid of me, so I shielded my body from my ankles to my chin with a bullet proof shield. Then I put a bottle of red ink in my shirt in front, so that when the gangsters shot at me they would break the red fluid and think it was blood. I was there only a short time when seven gangsters came by with two machine guns, turned them on me as they went by in a big car. They saw the red fluid spilling all over my clothes, and thinking they had shot me, said "We got him". It seemed that they were glad they had killed me. Then I pulled out a pistol and killed all seven of the gangsters. The big car went into the rock and was torn to pieces. Again [195], [900], [137], and some more of my friends came out and saw what had happened, and I told them that it was in self defense that I killed these men. I showed them my clothes, all shot up, and I assured them all was well with me. I awoke again and recalled the dream as I had dreamed it and there followed the third dream.
3. This time we, the [4666] Motor Corporation, had a large ranch in Arizona, with many cattle. We had our cattle marked with our mark, or brand. There was a large number of Mexican rustlers who came to our ranch and brought a big
4666-5 Page 3
bunch of stolen cattle with them and left them on our ranch, and started driving our cattle away. Again I came out with a repeating rifle and killed the Mexicans. I told [195], [900], and [137] and the others that were there what had happened. I told them that these bandits tried to make it appear as if we the [4666] Motor Co. were crooked, doing crooked work, and were a bunch of thieves. It seemed that in the end all turned out good. Then I woke and recalled the whole dream and it was all very much impressed on my mind.
Q. Is there any particular reference to any special condition or connection that we should beware of? Any advice as to how we may avoid such a condition? or prevent it from arising? Any particular reference to [195], [900], [137], or as to how any or all of these should be warned as respecting such conditions?]
3. (Q) That is, it is up to us, who are connected with this work in one capacity or another, to help guard the work from intrusion? (A) Correct. As it would be for any work that would be contemplated through any sources, as related either directly or indirectly, that there needs not be the fear of there being an undoing, will ALL but do their portion as respecting precautions of EVERY nature, see?
4. (Q) Is the work in relation to the motor being properly guarded? (A) Being properly guarded by those in and out. Then don't worry himself over it, see?
5. (Q) Is the motor as now being builded by [195] and [4666] one that will function within the coming weeks? (A) Will function.
6. (Q) Well, then, that we be ready to get in touch with Ball? (A) Get in touch with those that are to assist in all of the details necessary for the full protection from outside influences, when it becomes the MATERIAL condition, see? that is, the patents.
7. (Q) This ought to materialize - that is, the machine ought to run - [137] feels - sometime the first two weeks in June? (A) By the 13th or 17th.
8. (Q) Is there any more advice that, either as regarding the machine and its construction or other relationships, you would give the four bodies connected with [4666] and the motor? (A) Follow in those lines and those channels as has been given as respecting the usage, the application of the forces that are becoming as knowledge to a world through the efforts of ALL concerned. In the giving, then, let understanding be given with the application of that obtained or received from same in its EVERY phase, else destructive forces may be created in the same way and manner as those
4666-5 Page 4
that are turned into channels for the good of man. We are through.
