Alright, my dear. The lady went to bed with happy thoughts. She had happy thoughts only as she fell into the deep and was awakened about three in the morning with a horrible dream. It seemed something that happened a long time ago or something that she might have been afraid of a long time ago. Well, I would not be disturbed over a thing of that nature. It shows you that he who is always watching, the Father within you which is your redeemer, the core of your being, is presenting in dramatic form, in the form of a [...] and now is brought to the surface of your mind for solution. And the solution you heard tonight. He’s not scaring you just to scare you, but he has to teach you that you have not overcome it. The fear is still there. Face it. And it’s brought to the surface in the most dramatic way and then you simply face it. As you face something, it dissolves. You don’t suppress it, don’t bury it, just face it and resolve it in your mind’s eye. Take the whole thing and resolve it. Suppose now this were true and not that; and then believe in the reality of the substituted state and resolve it, rather than not resolve it and it’s buried, for it will come up for recognition. A friend who is here tonight, in her dream someone wanted food and so she intended feeding him even though there was apprehension on her part because it was late in the evening and her husband was just about to return from work and what would he think of finding her entertaining a strange man in her apartment, her home? And so at that moment when she still had resolved to give him something, regardless of the husband’s reaction to feeding him, then the baby called for her attention. She has a little boy. So in responding to that she woke to discover that she had not, in her dream, fed the man. So what did she do? Right in her Imagination she gave him something. She fed him in her Imagination and resolved it. He came to her door seeking help and she did not turn her back upon him. So even in her Imagination after she was fully awake, she gives him something, and so she did not turn him away. As you are told in scripture, “I was hungry and you gave me nothing.” When?—“When you did not do it to the least of one of these.” Well, that was a moment and she did it. She so believed in the reality that Imagination creates reality that she did it and she fed him.415 ¶35
