3. (Q) Wednesday Night, April 28, or Thursday Morning, April 29, 1926. "I was in what seemed to be a R.R. station and purchased a lot of candy. I paid $1 for each box and anticipated selling them for $2 a piece. While carrying them out to the automobile I saw a woman with children, also laden down with bundles. I felt I should like to help her with hers. 'If I just could finish this work - get these out to the car, I'd help you,' I said. 'O, that is alright,' she replied. 'We have a car outside and it isn't so hard or far.' I noticed that she was well dressed, had an automobile and was burdened with what seemed radio batteries - particularly the child was carrying such. I returned to my work - it seemed menial - not pleasant. It was necessary to work and altho I seemed reduced in position and the kind of work, I remembered 'The Promise' - 'That I should be Risen unto Him,' and found happiness in that promise. I started to sing as I worked - carrying the boxes out." (A) In this there is presented to the entity, in this emblematical manner, those conditions as regarding the work as is contemplated and as is being carried out in part by the entity, and on account of the entity feeling at times (within self) that there is not sufficient time given to self to do that portion of the work in the manner and way, on account of the necessity of doing other work, for the position, for the outcome, for the daily needs; yet, as is seen, the necessity of each is necessary in the life of this entity, that the experiences of each, in their way, in their
900-230 Page 2
manner, may give the better understanding to the entity for those conditions that are necessary in the lives of each individual to whom the message is to become as a manner of finding the best in themselves. These, as we see, represent then as this, in their various manners:
The carrying out of candy that is hoped to be gained in the sale thereof - that is, the necessities in a manner, though taken as luxuries to the individual mind, which is to bring gain in expansion to the mind.
The seeing of woman laden with those of heavy bundles, and apparently especial of radio appliances, is again as the entity will find in the study of conditions: Many lessons, many messages, will be brought to the entity, self, in a way and manner that expansion on same, the assistance to expand on same, be given through the relations of the entity with the Promise, as is seen.
Then, the lessons as a whole: Entity should not, in any manner, feel that there are hindrances to the entity in any way, on account of position as is held, place or time, in the present plane; only giving self in a way and manner to carry out that as is seen as the duty and that necessary for the entity to do for the development of self, the duty to others and the message that is to mean so much to so many, for the Promise is as the promise of the Truth, see?
4. (Q) "I was seated in a room upstairs with Wm. Lauer. He seemed to be playing a musical instrument. Then he asked me if I bought any Hupmobile stock. 'No,' I replied. 'I don't want any of that.' 'Then you won't be in on the move we are in.' I saw loads of Hupmobile stock sell, reams of it coming out on the tape, thousands of shares at the time. Hup is selling at around 21 - 22. I rushed to buy 100 shares of stock, but couldn't get the order in. I reached for the stock exchange phone to put the order in myself to buy 100 shares of Hupmobile stock at market, when Lauer's order clerk took the phone from my hands, as though to say 'This isn't your affair.' He said to me, 'I'll put the order in for you,' and he did so. Then, I went back and sat down with Lauer and noticed he started to play the guitar, or banjo." (A) This is as the presentation to the entity of conditions as are to arise as regarding this specific stock, but, as is seen in the manner of presentation to the conscious mind from subconscious forces, that there is the indication of the entity meeting, knowing, gaining an understanding from and about or concerning same from an
900-230 Page 3
individual to whom such relations or connections, as the musical instrument and playing same at the time of business, would seem obnoxious, out of place, and as to the price as to the conditions regarding same seems and appears as uncomely, or as unlikely to appear, as is seen in conditions as seen again in conditions when the entity attempts to gain and use the knowledge as has been attained by the conversation, he is prevented from use of same by a subordinate.
Then, as the lesson would be to gain from this - that while there is to be some action as respecting this particular stock, there must be the time arrive when same may be used and when more thorough knowledge has been attained by the entity as concerning the action of this particular stock; for, as is seen in the various changes and turns as to come near the middle of the month regarding industrials and their change, as is to appear in same - the various conditions, this will be among the very active stocks.
Then, when this information is attained, through the relation of the conscious mind as regarding same, and when these have been correlated with the subconscious forces of the entity, that as is necessary for the use as regarding same will be presented at that time. Do not act on same at present, then.
5. (Q) "Then I was at home - our old living room it seemed in our 101 Street home. The radio was going and Ma, [137] and I were enjoying it, the first two dancing to its tunes - I seated listening. Then it seemed we could not get any distance. I tried to tune in and could not. I wrapped some wires around a spool and attached this instrument to the machine, seeking thus to perfect and tune in, but it didn't work. Yet it should have, could have, might have. I gave it up and we resumed listening to local station." (A) This is as the presentation from the conscious mind reasoning with the subconscious as regarding conditions, and is as of a portion of telepathic conditions, as has been presented to the entity from time to time; for, as there is seen, there here comes some reference to the old home and those surrounding influences with and about the entity, and there is seen that there is presented that through which these conditions, were they perfected, would bring much in returns in many ways to the entity; yet, as is seen, that attempted by the entity is not attained in the way and manner as is desired. There is felt, however, from within, that this might, this should, this could, were it more perfectly understood.
900-230 Page 4
Then, there comes that same lesson as has been given regarding such conditions. When such conditions are perfectly understood, as regarding the improvement of any condition of which a portion of the law as pertains to such has been gained, the greater attunement of the individual to those truths as may be gained through such knowledge, this will be more applicable to the conditions as exist. That is, such arrangements may be made when the entity has attuned self to that condition wherein the gained knowledge may be in a consistent manner applied to physical conditions already attained; then the effectiveness of same may be conscious to the entity itself, see? That is, that necessary for the assistance to the receiving of the greater volume in distance, and in amplification from radio, may be attuned by the entity, when attuned to the conditions necessary for the better understanding of same. More of this will be presented, then, later to the entity, from time to time. Understand same, that there may not be that same confusion in self from the attempt and the inability to find same operating.
6. We are through for the present.
