1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], of 74 Broadway, office of Block, Maloney & Co., New York City, and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lessons of each of these, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding any of these.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind of [900], with dreams that have come to this body from time to time. These, with their interpretation and lessons, are that the entity, through same, may gain those experiences necessary for the development of the entity, would these be used aright. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Saturday Morning, September 12, 1925, at home in Deal. "I was lifting myself up on a horizontal bar to peer over a wall at the foot of which [140] and others were lounging about. I pulled myself well up and said: 'I am going into this and using this borrowed money but it will soon happen. I'll soon pay it back.'" (A) This, as we see, is that lesson for the entity in that of using the forces as are being exemplified to the entity, and as is seen in the pulling of self up, this may be used to raise self to that position that gives the entity the advantage, would same be used aright; yet as is seen in using borrowed money for such conditions, unless used aright, carries its obligations and disadvantages, see? Hence the lesson as would be gained in such an manner as is held by the entity: Know, fully realize and understand, the power, the force as is being used by entity is the lending of that oneness as is necessary for such forces to be manifest to the entity. Then use aright.
4. (Q) Voice clearly and distinctly: "So you may SEE GOD ACTING in the PHENOMENIZED PLANE." (A) As an answer to that as given, see? Let the entity know each tie one into the other and must be considered in that way and manner, remembering, as it were, the first lesson: All force, all power, all manifestations as come to
900-134 Page 2
the entity, is of that oneness, the first cause - GOD.
5. (Q) "A fourth dream that seemed to bear on the same subject, but which I have forgotten. Recall and interpret." (A) In this we find the cylinder given. As the fulcrum is used to raise self, the cylinder used as the brace to bolster up or protect same, coming in that same understanding, same lessons as are seen. Let the advancement with the entity be, then, in that manner in keeping with that obtained, see?
6. (Q) Monday Morning, September 14, at home in Deal. "I was trying to identify some stock that was to sell at $180 a share. Now I knew that the stock would sell at the price because of information to that effect received by my mind from cosmic consciousness, but what stock? Then it seemed it ought be some stock selling within a reasonable radius of $180, say $140 a share. That might well be International Business Machine Corporation Stock. Why - I reasoned. I held that stock - it was selling at $140 a share and could well go to $180 a share. Therefore, the price $180 might well apply to International Business Machine Stock which I held at $140." (A) This, as we see, has been answered in that recently given as to what entity should do regarding Machine Stock. The dream or the vision as seen was not clear, in that both the spiritual forces (as has been seen, see, from others) was projecting that condition and same was being measured by the cosmic forces. Hence the inability of the entity to gain just what stock was measured, or meant, see? for as is seen, spiritual forces that [are] living element of ANY condition, whether physical, material or what not, see? Cosmic forces, [are] that combination of all experiences of as entity in the earth's plane, with its spiritual exemplifications weighed with same. Gain the difference between the two, see? Do not confound these conditions with spiritual forces and physical forces made spiritually in their change, or in their action, for these are the phenomenization of conditions in the material or physical world.
7. (Q) Does this mean that International Business Machine Stock will sell at $180 per share? (A) This, through physical forces, has already been seen by entity, that this stock has not reached that point. While there has been advances and falling offs, the spiritual element read $180. The physical forces as seen by cosmic forces as seen by cosmic forces, see, gave that as somewhere between these two. This has come, see?
8. (Q) "Now I saw Sidney Wormser. I was still seeking the
900-134 Page 3
solution of my given price of $180 per share for some stock - but what stock? 'Havana Electric Stock and Southern Railroad Stock.' I told Sidney Wormser. He then wrote on a piece of paper as follows: Havana Electric - Southern R.R. "This is the way Sidney Wormser would arrange stocks when one stock was to be merged or exchanged for another stock, thus this indicated an exchange of Havana Electric and Southern R.R. Stock. 'In that case,' I said to Sidney, 'It will be an exchange of 5 for 1 and you would buy the Southern R.R. stock and sell the Havana Electric Stock.' This in Wall St. termed an arbitrage and the firm of Lauer & Co. did much of this kind of thing. After what I said to Sidney, he rewrote what he had on the paper as follows: Southern R.R. $180 - Havana Electric $140. "Then I said to Sidney Wormser: 'There probably will not be an exchange of one stock for another, but they will give new securities on each at the rate of 5 for 1. Many companies have been doing that lately.' When I first mentioned the arbitrage to Wormser, he looked very dubious, as though an exchange of Havana Electric Stock for Southern R.R. stock was ridiculous, but now that I changed to a split up of each of the stocks independently into 5 new shares for 1 old share, he seemed to give approval and look at me as though he respected me more." (A) This, as we see, again carrying with that as has been given the action of the physical as is manifest in a material world through cosmic forces, weighed again with the individual which to the entity represents the criterion on such matters, see? The condition, then, as is represented, we would find the exchange, the arbitration, would come under the head and the manner as is seen. Hence the entity in acting upon each of these should gain rather the lessons as is pointed out, and then using same in physical manner to bring about just that change as is seen in this, with the Southern, with Havana Electric, see, for the changes in these, as has been given, will come, for Havana Electric going up. Southern going up, with their falling off, with their changing, with this turning about, changing of points one for another, see?
9. (Q) Does this indicate that Southern R.R. Stock now selling at about $104 a share will sell at $180 a share and then be split up into the ratio of 5 new shares for 1 of those selling at $180 a share? (A) This is the indication rather of the change coming with, and as we see, recently there has been declared those
900-134 Page 4
dividends with the Southern R.R. Stock that prevents this from coming at the present time; with the changes as will come we will find the greater advancement of this, to $104, the advance again when the split to $180, see? then changed again, see? splitting up, going down then to the nominal price - 99 5/8.
10. (Q) Does this indicate that Havana Electric Stock now selling at $235 a share will be split up 5 new shares for 1 old share of Havana E? (A) This will be split up, see? selling off, then $180.
11. (Q) What does the price 140 on Havana Electric mean? (A) The culmination of the split-up with these stocks, and the ratio as is seen between Southern and Havana Electric, see?
12. (Q) Will Havana Electric Stock sell at $140 before the split up of shares or afterwards? (A) Afterwards.
13. (Q) What relation has International Business Machine Stock to Havana Electric and Southern R.R. Stock, all 3 of which stocks were shown in this series of dreams in reference to $140 and $180? (A) These bear no relation, save as that is seen, to show the lesson of the difference between the physical forces as may be viewed from the cosmic with the spiritual understanding as is made in a manner that the force may gain control of same.
14. (Q) Tuesday Morning, Sept. 15, 1925, at Apt. 103, Cambridge Hotel, 60 West 68th St., New York City. Voice: "At 92 let the ladies come in." (This may not be entire dream. If not, recall to sense mind and interpret meaning.) (A) This, as we see, is NOT the entire forces as presented to the entity, for we find the rest goes as this: When the changes on the stocks, as has been considered for the investments for certain securities, bonds and stocks, see? when these (these bonds, these stocks) see, reach that, buy in for the ladies. Ladies meaning ones whom have come to [900] for these investments.
15. We are through for the present.
