1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], of 60 West 68th Street, New York City, and the dream this body had on the night of May 21, or early Friday morning of May 22, 1925, which was as follows: "I was in our customers' room, or the office of Block, Maloney & Co., which was very crowded with men and the market was strong. It was in the morning and stocks were going up. Then afternoon came and stocks grew dull - then started to go down. I saw all the men leave the office. Then evening came and the office was empty and I found I had 500 shares of Reading R.R. stock in my pocket and to my surprise a bond which belonged to Block, Maloney & Company - not to me. I felt again and assured myself that the 500 shares of Reading was there. Then regarding the bond I recalled that I should have deposited this in the safe deposit box for Block, Maloney & Company. On starting out I noticed that the office doors were closed and that it was dark and the office barren - empty. Went back after my coat, which was of fur. Then unlocked the door and went out." You will answer the questions as I ask them concerning same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body and the enquiring mind, as we have had here before, and the dream as had on the evening of May 21, 1925, regarding the market, groups of men, office, stocks and coat. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Was the vision of Reading stock in my pocket any indication of the advisability of my buying and keeping the stock - (i.e. putting it in my safe deposit box indicating profit in long pull, that is I should buy what I can pay for - for myself or Mother, not buy on margin and that in this manner Reading will prove profitable?) (A) In the long run, yes. Not at the present figure so profitable as it will at other occasions.
4. (Q) Was this vision again telling me of slump to come, as previous vision (i.e. "Even with change in rates slump can come")? (A) Slump will come.
5. (Q) What did fur overcoat indicate? Did it indicate
900-74 Page 2
time of year slump was to come (i.e. next winter)? (A) This indication rather the advance in next winter, for we will have various changes in the market, especially in Reading, with the changes that are coming to this particular stock, for there are changes in combinations, in rates, and in alliances that will make rise and fall by many who are now obtaining the control of this particular stock. As to when these changes in such marked degree are to come, these are to be watched by the individual. Well to obtain these and hold, but at the lower figure rather than on the advance. The larger or higher figure will be when the coat is to be taken out again.
6. (Q) Morning strong stocks, afternoon weak or slowing up and men or customers leave. Evening empty and I with stock. Is this the way the market is to act Spring, Fall and Winter? (A) Spring, Fall and Winter. Up and down, up and down. Rather the advance in winter. The leaving with the stock in hand indicating it must be held (not at present) to make the increase.
7. (Q) Co-relate [correlate] this vision with previous vision of Reading. (A) This is as has been seen, must be co-related [correlated] by the individual mind of [900].
8. (Q) Make clear to the understanding of [900] his visions in relation to reading and Certainteed products, so that he may use the information as it was meant he should and not through mis-understanding operate in a wrong manner. (A) As has been given and outlined for this body and mind, [900], the various visions, the various indications of the receiving of information regarding stocks as a whole are as an individual condition, are of those conditions as have been given this body. There are times, such as we will illustrate here, when the information is rather the action of physical than of the subconscious forces. Such as was seen when the discussion between [900] and Herbert Son. There has been and are times when information is of the subconscious forces, as when the vision of the action in steel. There are and is conditions such as is co-relation [correlation] of each. Such as is seen in Reading and Certainteed products. Then the entity is to use own discretion as regarding the usage of this information, and act upon same in the manner and way as has been outlined for the entity, would the entity use same in the correct manner and not bring condemnation to self. This he should gain from this.
9. We are through with these at present.
