  1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [538], of present in this room, 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.

  5. “Dreamed [294] and I took a walk down a dirt road. Seemed to be looking for something. [294] said, ‘There’s no oil here - let’s go back,’ yet kept on looking - took out his knife and began to dig in top of high bank on right side. The dirt came off in large flat pieces. He said nothing, then moved a little down and dug - found a soldier’s entire outfit - first saw a helmet, then other things. It seemed they had been buried years ago in a long trough of a barn where stock are fed, but it had all been covered with earth. He took out a good sized box, tied up. We seemed to know it had money in it. Then a smaller one, opened, so we could see the money. We took the boxes and left the other things, as we couldn’t use them.” (A) In this there are many conditions as are presented to the entity for the study of entity, and these, as we can see, are presented in an emblematical way and manner.

As is seen, wherein there has been the desire to gain worldly possessions from oil, yet in the finding of same we find these are presented in other ways and manners, coming rather from the seeking in the earth of that hidden aforetime by others. Yet there is seen the indication in this that, though unexpected, through oils there will be presented much of the earthly gain; rather that though through that of the soldier’s oils than of others. And as is seen in boxes in the hill, there will come from buried treasures the monies with which will give much satisfaction to the entity. And it will be then necessary that many conditions be placed in order, or houses set aright; that is, individuals life and actions set aright, that all these may come in the way and manner; meaning self, self’s association and attitudes and angles, as it were, as is held towards various conditions.
