Time of Reading 4:15 P. M. Dayton Savings Time. Deal, N.J.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [900], of ... Road, Deal, N.J., and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you, and you will give the interpretation and lessons to be gained from each of these, as I read same to you, and you will answer any questions which I might ask you relative to any of these.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body and the enquiring mind of [900]. This we have had here before. Now, with the dreams as are coming to the body, these we find are partaking again of co-relation of the mental with the subconscious forces, and are being presented in a physical tangible manner in the way of those of emblematical forms for the body's, mind's, own interpretation of same. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) Wednesday morning, July 15, 1925, at home. "Words: Do not buy this, do purchase this." (Second dream not read. "I can't remember. Recall it please.") (A) That co-relation of conditions that have been in the mental forces of the individual for days regarding the condition of stocks on the exchange, and the words as given only gives the entity that relation with same, and that, with calling, as it were, upon those super forces, these individual ones that are meant to purchase and not to purchase may be given the individual, through his own application, and when same is applied in the manner as has been given to the individual for usage of same, same may come to the individual in a more perfect, a more understandable, manner. This should be gained from the interrogation "Do not buy this, do purchase this." Not giving any definite, only showing same as being acted upon in the mental and subconscious forces of the individual, not allowing self to go fully to that extent wherein the individual may obtain the information necessary. Just as is seen in the next, on same day. As the certain ones are seen, and their various quotations, their various offers, and these are shown on the exchange or tape, and the individual not able to bring same to self in any manner. Only cognizant of having passed, as it were, through the
900-96 Page 2
experience or condition of having seen something, yet not able to comprehend or hold all.
4. (Q) Thursday morning, July 16. Mr. Wollman, broker and my old employer, called me to his desk. He put his arm over my shoulders and whispered confidentially in my ear. I noticed that his nose was flat, and that he talked in a nasal fashion. He said, talking of stocks, "Sell them now. Give them their goods." "Is that so?" I queried in answer. I turned to [137] and said, "We'll sell our stock right at the morning opening. Wollman had something else to say. He drew me closer to himself and I noticed he talked more normal. "I'll tell you," he confided, "there has been a quarrel - yes, there has been a quarrel." I recalled the type man Wollman was and wondered little at a quarrel with him. I guessed it was with his partner and nephew, whom he had in business with him, and wondered if he was thinking of taking [137] and I instead, or what. Wollman talked again, "There may be a chance for you and [137] here. There was a quarrel in this firm, even as close as I am to him," referring to his nephew. I thought of the firm of Block, Maloney & Co., with whom we are at present identified, although not a part of. What a different relation existed between Mr. Ben Block and his partner, namely, his son-in-law, than between this man, Wollman, and his nephew. It was nice for that son-in-law, I thought, and it would be nice to be connected with such a firm, rather than with a mean man such as Wollman, with all the latter's money. I looked up, saw a man on the other side of Wollman. It seemed to be Walter Hess, the nephew. I said to Wollman, "So you think we should get right out of stocks." Again he replied, "Yes, right away. Let them have their goods." I returned to my little office and decided to get out at the morning opening, and called Mr. Goldstein, a customer, to tell him to do the same thing. I saw our clerk, Arthur, working at the desk. (A) In this we find again that of the body-mind co-relating with the subconscious contacts as have been made, both physical and mental received, and the conditions as are being given in the emblematical way through individuals to whom the body had gone is received, yet there comes with this the warning of troubles being between the individuals so related, and the subconscious weighing with the consciousness of the individual conditions existing in others, with whom the body has been and is associated, and a comparison is drawn from within. This, then, gives the indication of how that the various conditions are and will exist on the Exchange. There will be the up, the down.
900-96 Page 3
Some causing trouble, some bringing closer relations, some making good, others falling off, with the general trend of the descent, as has been given, though, which, has been passed in part. As is seen in the calling of the individual, the recognition within self, that inherent force necessary for the entity to obtain, hold and continue within that position wherein he may claim, own, any access to the conditions of giving the same information to others as is felt within self. All of these are pictured to the individual in this condition. As to lesson as is to be gained, just as that as has been preceding before this. Gain from within self that of the individual stocks or bonds that the individual is to rid self of, or through self (dreams, see?) obtain that information that will give an understanding, co-relating same with the conditions past and present, as related to how the individual in subconscious forces recognizes the abilities, the goodness, the badness, the pleasantness, the undue relation existing between the various individuals as may be produced by such conditions becoming existent, on account of a disposition, as it were, of the individual himself. Now, for the relations as may become, whether those of personal or those of a distant relation; yet KNOW existent personalities are that which tells, as it were, in the end of that making the life worth while. Then, in using this, gauge the different stocks as to how the entity itself gives and sees the reasoning along same lines with, for we will have this change, as has been given.
5. (Q) What do the words, "Get out of stocks. Let them have their goods" mean? (A) Means there are individual stocks that will be greatly depreciated in valuation, as has been given. As to which ones, must be judged by individual self and according to the conditions as weighed by [900].
6. (Q) Should I take their advice literally and sell my stocks? (A) There are some, yes. As to which ones, this must be weighed, as given.
7. (Q) What is meant by "There has been a quarrel, there may be a chance for you and [137] here." (A) The very condition as has been pictured. Some will bring much money, some would lose much money. There is the opportunity, in seeing these conditions as presented, for the body to gain each way, both in the rise and both in the descent.
8. (Q) What was the significance of calling up Mr. Goldstein?
900-96 Page 4
(A) As given, that necessary in self to gain such information, the greater prerequisite as to use of same.
9. (Q) How should [900] act with Mr. Goldstein in regard to stock in order to act in the right way? (A) Give him that information or decision the individual makes for self. Then let him act his own way.
10. (Q) Wollman's flat nose - is that merely the two dimension vision of the subconscious in dream? (A) The recognition rather, as it were, of the kind of individuals the entity pictures to self in that form of individual. Rather the condition taking that which would to the mentality of the individual represent that not wholly good.
11. (Q) July 16, 1925. I saw a beautiful mountainside, through which a river flowed. There were cattle, trees and flowers and all. I gazed at the mountainside and reflected to myself as follows: Yes, I said to myself, the silver and the gold are the Lord, just as that river, the trees and the cattle are His. They are His as I am. Then the sunshine burst on the water and the landscape lighted up in beauty, and I felt a trace, a sense of the ecstasy of the approaching a little nearer to the glory of the Father. Then I saw people riding on horseback. That was nice. Suddenly race horses came dashing out and a man in red riding habit dismounted and stood beside me. "Hang it" he said. "I lost twenty dollars on that horse, a lot for me, all I had." "That's tough" I sympathized, but my mind was not on him or his loss. It was far away and enraptured by the mountain beauty, the countryside, which even in the physical I loved so well. I loved beauty in nature, in music, in ideals, and this man's gamble on a horse seemed such a contrast to the beauty of the beast he rode, to the countryside. He seemed coarse, boring and wearisome. Not for me. (A) This, as we see, a vision of the Borderland forces, as it were, or an interpretation in the visualized form of the mind gaining the beauty of the knowledge of the spiritual forces as are manifest in the physical world, and these are answerable, as it were, in their own visions, that the denseness of money, of position, of the conditions, do but harbor little, for the man, for the individual, for the mind, who would gain the greater views of the inner life that makes the I AM His, as the silver and gold, the mountains and the river, the beast and the flowers, for all must come from within and not outward appearances for the sake of ceremony, but rather that as is felt in the brightening of the whole scene as the Glory of the Sun, the
900-96 Page 5
emblem of the Father's love, shown on all.
12. We are through for the present.
