IN THIS Department will be given interpretations of dreams and visions of those needing to know their inner meaning. We reserve for it only those of special interest and helpfulness.

I KNOW several people who should be very interested in your Lessons, but they are going through a phase of being disgusted with teachers and are not prepared to take anything labeled Lessons at the moment. I am sure that the grasping the fact that the Loving One they seek is within, which your lessons go to such pains to explain and clearly show, would make such a marvelous difference in their lives.

I often think of a dream that came to me more than twenty years ago and wonder what it meant. Perhaps you can interpret it for me? I went to a small cottage on the slopes of a very high mountain and knocked. The hall door was opened by a very sweet girl of about 17 or 19 years of age, with two long plaits of hair, and she said, without waiting for me to speak, “My brother will be very pleased to see you,” and left me for a moment to call her brother.

A few moments later he came through the door of a room opening on the veranda on the right, and he came straight up to me, placing his hands on my shoulders said, “I am so very glad to see you—I have waited for you for a long time.” The joyful accent on the words and the marvelous feeling of love coming from him I have never forgotten; in fact that love stayed with me for many days.

I remember my surprise at seeing him come towards me in evening clothes (European), and can always remember the tender expression in his eyes. There was not a house in sight for miles around, and yet he was wearing European evening dress. I have never seen either of these people in the physical world, and yet they are just as real to me, especially the gentleman, as if they were old acquaintances. When he placed his hands on my shoulders I felt such at-one-ment with him that I wanted nothing else.

The Lesson Papers are available to anyone who is willing to apply for and study them carefully. We have found that if requirement is only way to learn who are and hold the really earnest ones. There are so many that would like to read the Lessons and think they could get the benefit from their truths by merely reading them, who are not willing to study and apply them. These Lessons are not for such, but only for the earnest ones who are willing to earn their way to the Kingdom by faithfully practicing and proving their truths.

Your dream of going to the small cottage on the slopes of a high mountain and being welcomed there by a loving young man in evening clothes, especially illustrates what we have just said. In other words there your Higher Self (the young man) has been waiting all these years to give you these high truths, dressed in modern language in the best European taste, but it has taken you twenty years of wandering in the wilderness of foreign teachings to find and climb this mountain of consciousness to where He is and there receive them. This applies to every other searcher for Truth, which can be gained only by earning it as you have earned it.

Your not seeing a house anywhere for miles and your being so high up the mountain shows their high spiritual quality. This dream being so strongly impressed on your consciousness, and your being now led to relate it to us, was to have proved to you the truth of its prophecy—that you have now found the high truths you have so long been seeking.

DURING a silence and meditation period there came to my heart a thrill of great joy, thanksgiving and Love to God and humanity. After being in this consciousness for possibly an hour or so with eyes closed, a beautiful light appeared to my inner vision, and also beside the light a clear, steady eye; then, as these vanished a wonderfully hand-carved oak door appeared with roses growing around it.

As I was meditating on the meaning of these symbols, I heard a very loving, gentle voice say, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon thee, for He has appointed thee to speak glad tidings, to bind up the brokenhearted, and to raise them that fall.”

As my mind responded to and accepted these words, a little dove flew upwards and saw the light glinting on its shimmering wings as it passed from my sight.

Then followed some words and instructions which were not clear to me, and which seemingly I have temporarily forgotten.

We rejoice to learn of the vision that came to you of the eye in the beautiful light and of the door with the roses around it. This was to assure you of the presence of your Loving Father, and that the way is now prepared for you that He wants you to go, and all you have to do is to open the door and go through it. The roses surrounding the door was a proof that it is the way of Love, and the little dove you saw was the Holy Spirit that will go before you and light the way for you.

This was a very beautiful promise to you, dear friend, and we know that you are worthy from the words you heard, and will do your part in the making these truths a part of your consciousness and life.
