Time of Reading 11:15 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 ... 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 each of these, as I read same to you, and you will answer the questions I ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had before. Now, the dreams, as we see, come to the body in the way and manner as have been given and, as we see, the developments of the entity, as to the consciousness of that transmission or transition of body conscious mind to the subconscious forces of the body, and the correlation of same, become more and more cognizant to the entity, bringing more and more that which, if studied the more thoroughly, will bring the better understanding to the entity; as the development progresses, the increased consciousness of the transition becomes apparent. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) Wednesday Night, March 10, or Thursday Morning, March 11, 1926. "Saw our margin book and our own stock account that I - or that [137] and I are now both watching closely and following in detail. Now again my physical and subconscious reasoned - the physical presenting, so to speak, the problem in the form of the book and account and the subconscious seemed to approve or O.K. the reasoning as follows: 'Why not sell some of the stocks and be safer?' 'Because the account still owes us money, in spite of the rally - we are as yet not even having our original $20,000 capital, plus that put in during recent break - but of course this is no assurance that the upward move will continue and gain it back for us. Probably we are fortunate in having gotten back as big a part as we have and the subconscious reasoning seemed to O.K. the idea of not taking too big a risk in losing again this principal - to minimize the chance of losing by reducing the line of stocks. The subconscious reasoning the experience understood in one
900-207 Page 2
grasp thoroughly the suffering it in physical form would have to endure if physical things (stock market) went wrong and that subconscious didn't relish the prospect and there is another lesson I learned - i.e. that God or the Creative Power desires in its creative process of phenomenized form no greater suffering than necessary to accomplish its creative purpose or to put it in words of the gospel - Our Father is full of tenderness, sympathy, kindness and love - will we but rely upon our own subconscious self that is the power expressing itself in the physical form of these characteristics. Thus my subconscious mind - sell and reduce the chance of ultimate crash and physical failure and necessary suffering.'" (A) This, as we see, is the presentation to the entity of that as has been given, as regarding the changes as were to come, and of the condition as to how the usage of the margin book is used, in the way and manner and form as has been presented, and is well reasoned, as we see, in the entity's subconscious, and the correlation of the physical aspects of the conditions as presented are seen to be in keeping with the lessons as are being gained by the entity. This, as we see, is that as has been given of how the entity, [900], more and more gains the full body mind impressions of the transition of the mental forces of the entity to that of the subconscious, and seeing the awakening or the reasoning as is given through such forces. These, then, as has been given, should be followed more and more, in the way and manner as is here presented to the entity, see? Then the lesson as is gained: Comply, then. Not over-ride the conditions presented by the subconscious and that are reasoned for the entity by the axioms of the day through physical conditions.
4. (Q) This proposition relies upon three conditions: First the condition of the general market. As given, it would be unstabilized for many weeks. This has come to pass as given. Is it now stabilized and WILL IT TURN ITS TREND DEFINITELY UPWARDS TO HIGHER STOCK PRICE LEVELS FOR SOME TIME TO COME FROM PRESENT PRICE LEVELS? (A) This variation, as we see, is to be kept up in many various stocks; yet there are individual stocks that are to be now on the general upward trend for several weeks, see - until May.
5. (Q) Second: Our account is long 1300 shares of Hudson Motors about $150,000 worth of stock in cash. The plain fact is, a big and sudden drop on this quantity could break us completely, or, if as given it is going to $200 a share
900-207 Page 3
it can MAKE us. Are conditions in the pool now such that this as given will come to pass, for as also given we should be prepared to jump either way. Which way at present? (A) As has been given. This has been outlined for the entity, that were the entity in that position to know the action of the inside forces, or a member of the pool, then act in that way and manner as has been given. WITHOUT this knowledge from within, then in the rise, as is seen Tuesday - Wednesday, well to be out of same, that the chance may be minimized, as has been seen and given by the entity's own subconscious.
6. (Q) Third: As given, traction stocks are going way up and should have been bought around Feb. 9 or 10. We bought Third Ave. 600 shares at 35 1/8 and 38 3/8. Is this stock going further up, as given? (A) Going further up, as given.
7. (Q) Friday Morning, March 12. "Seemed to be a conference between my mother, father and grandmother. My mother seemed to be objecting to some extravagance, when my father interrupted and took complete charge. He said to me: '[900], you pay about $5000 in insurance premiums a year, don't you?' 'Not quite - almost,' I replied. 'What is done with that money?' 'When I am about 50 years old I will have saved up in insurance about $100,000, giving me an income of about $5000 a year.' My father nodded and I noticed a scar or wound upon his head near the temple, but towards the forehead." (A) This, as we see, that same condition as is being presented to the entity in this way and manner, as have been outlined; that more and more there is seen those various conditions of the mental forces of the entity, that are reasoned in the mental force, weighed now in subconscious forces, and gaining the approval of those conditions that present as the spirit forces of entities in the physical and spiritual plane. Seeing then the dissention, seeing then the gain as is questioned, as is given as co-inciding with the innate understanding of the entity itself regarding such conditions. The scar as is seen or presented toward the forehead of the entity, as is seen from the spirit forces or plane, presenting that of the condition of entity itself toward that knowledge of the entity's UNDERSTANDING of the conditions being presented. That is, as this scar represents to the entity a physical condition having taken place in the spiritual plane, so as to be discernable to the entity, and one not known concerning in physical sense,* this then presents to the entity that in the physical mind there is held those conditions that to the spiritual or subconscious self renders the entity, [900], incapable of acquiring the
900-207 Page 4
full knowledge. What presents same? * [GD's note: In Mr. [900]'s late fifties, possibly a yr. or two before his death at 59 yrs. of age, I saw him in the grocery one day and noticed that he had a small, horn-like growth on his temple, near his forehead. It was prominent enough to be seen several feet away.] Self - in the manner of PRESENTING conditions as are seen. Do not project self too far in same, see?
8. (Q) "I was in a food store (delicatessen) receiving food and paying for it. Again my mother objected and my father interfered. 'I was like that once,' he said and again I noticed his damaged head." (A) Again we see this presented to the entity in that same way and manner, and is as of a physical condition relating to self TOWARD FOOD, see?
9. (Q) "Then my grandmother came to the front and I was back in her Indiana home. It seemed I was dubious about sleeping in her bed - the one she had slept in while alive. Then my Uncle Leo and I were talking about some stocks, or stock. 'And do you know,' I was saying to him, seeming to refer to Ben Block, his business associate, 'All the time he knew it was you buying the stock at 124.' 'That certainly was not right,' replied my Uncle Leo." (A) This, we see, a presentation, in an unclarified manner to the entity, of both physical conditions, of the relations to self, to the spiritual forces, to the home, and to stocks. This, as we see, again is presented to the entity in the physical manner, and will be seen again, as relating to Ben Block and propositions that have been made and will be made, concerning the relation between [900] and [137] and Block. These will be seen again, and WHEN seen again - these clarified. Yes, this has been seen again - here we have other dreams - has been written here. There is seen the book, the change, and Ben Block - HORACE Block going over book, and the checking up on same, or the presenting of same. This, then, refers to a condition that has been presented, in the way and manner of a coalition of efforts, as respecting the turn in some stock, and had this been carried out, in the way and manner as first presented, would have been better; yet IN the way, in the change that has been made, this does not appear (as is seen by the Uncle) to have been correct; yet we find these conditions, in the change as will occur about the 18th, to clarify the conditions. This, as we see, refers to - 128 - Hudson Motors again.
