Time of Reading 10:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City, N.Y.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], of Apt. ..., ... St., N.Y. City, and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained from same, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding these.

3. (Q) Monday Night, Jan. 11, 1926, while reading. Saw the number 90 - seemed to refer to running up of some stock or stocks of this. (A) This, as we see, is as of the mental forces of the body again coming in that way and manner of how that that which is first and foremost in the mental forces is weighed in the subconscious for the consideration of the conscious or body-mind. Then the numbers and the action as referring to stocks, shows to the entity as how the mental forces are being turned again, and as 9 - 0 represents to the mind that that as is necessary will be given to the entity for the entity's consideration in regards to stocks, and is not any particular stock at the present time, see?
4. (Q) Reference to [136] in number 42. (A) This, as we see, again the mental mind weighing with the subconscious those forces of information as given regarding number. As 4 - 2 makes that of the 6, 6 then representing that condition as has been given to the body-mind as the individual as seen, see? That is, that 6 represents that position of the entity, [136]. Were the entity to gain that import of numbers or of numerical valuations of numbers, then the change would be to that even as of 7 or to 9, which is the full number of the individual, [136], see? That is, with the more perfect understanding of the laws as relate to self, to the phenomenized forces as are manifest in the physical world as related to self, related to others, related to the indication of conditions
900-184 Page 2
in the life, then the change would be to that as of that in 9. In the position as occupied at present is that of 4 - 2, or 6.
5. (Q) Monday Night, Jan. 11, or Tuesday Morning, Jan. 12. Some stock went up to 37 3/4 - then to 40. Willie Lauer phoned up to me that the stock was 39 3/4 bid offered at 40 and he said it was in our favor. "In our favor?" I repeated. "Then sell 100 shares at 40." He put the order in, stock sold there and we sold our stock at 40 - a nice profit. (A) Again those same elements and conditions as have been given, as to how the mental forces of the entity and individual are turning into those channels in which these presentations of stocks, stocks' action, stocks' quotation, stocks assistance to the individual in the financial way, are being presented to the entity for the entity's consideration, and as is seen in these, these do not represent names of individual stocks but of CONDITIONS that are ready and that will be presented to the individual from time to time, for as is seen, specific names of HOW this action is taking place is seen and recognized, see? Then, specific stocks and their action will be given to the entity, see? Then prepare self for reception of same, using same in the way and manner this is given for entity to use.
6. (Q) Night of Sunday, Jan. 10, while reading Papini's Life of Christ. Now I read in this book Christ's pity for the rich, (as I am not rich this didn't bother me) but his condemnation and hatred for bankers, and men who deal in money or use money as a commodity instead of engaging in a more productive or useful industry. That hit home and I have raised the same question myself when I asked "Suppose Christ had entered a brokerage concern (if one existed), instead of the shoemaking business - would it have made any difference?" The answer in my mind has always been "No" - the temptations of the flesh are the same - only through knowledge and understanding may we gain a consciousness of the Spiritual Purpose and until this consciousness is gained the type of business, etc., is of little consequence. But Papini's radical statements worried me so I turned in prayer to my Father and asked for clarification of his version of the Christ life as it pertains to ours to-day - to mine. The answer came clear and sure in the Voice: "MODIFY IT." (A) In this there is presented to this entity those conditions that must be studied well, and the answer in same must ever come from within. As is seen in that as was read by the entity, THAT MAN'S concept of conditions presented by the Master. In the reason of self concerning same, there is felt self-condemnation on account of the conditions under
900-184 Page 3
which self labors. In the answer as is heard in prayer, the entity finds that answer for self, in that not that conditions are turned in the way to meet and to explain away self's position, but knowing that, as has been given, "All force is of one force." Right is as Right in the broker's office as in the fisher's net, or the reaper or sower, and that as is given, the action of the individual is the application of the truths as are seen and known of that entity, see?
7. (Q) As I understand this modify Papini's version to my own - as above stated - which is correct? (A) Modify Papini's statement to own version, without turning self in the position of simply turning a statement to fit an individual case, see?
8. (Q) As I remember my impression at the time, the following referred to Mrs. [139], my mother-in-law - altho it may have included [136], my wife also. I can't remember, but the words or voice was as follows: "She is getting well as fast as you are -" or it may have been "She is getting well as fast as you will let her." (A) This, as we see, is as this: In this there is seen, for the entity's study and consideration, that as the entity gains the power of applying the truths as have been gained by the entity, then so the assistance may be given to others to GAIN their equilibrium in an understanding and an application of the truths given.
9. We are through for the present.
