3. (Q) Wednesday Night, June 16, or Thursday Morning, June 17, 1926. "A postman entered our office with a special delivery letter and I asked him for it, thinking it a reading from Cayce. It was a letter addressed to someone else and I was disappointed." (A) In this there is presented that to the consciousness of the entity through this condition, as is as an emblematical force of that as is being pictured within the mind of the entity, of that wherein the entity lacks in some of the application of the information as is given to the entity, and in this comes the disappointment to the entity, as is felt by the letter not being for the entity, as is desired, see? In this there is then seen the application of the subconscious forces of entity checking, as it were, with the process of the body conscious and mental consciousness of the entity. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Reasoning or Voice: "Something regarding the stock market, an announcement of something, or some good news, or a big stock dividend is coming out," I reasoned, (A) (Interrupting) Which did, in the reports as were seen following this.
5. (Q) "But is the market going up now?" "How should I know?" I replied to my own question. (A) Reasoning of the consciousnesses of the entity.
6. (Q) What does this uncertainty mean - merely the uncertain character of my present state of mind with respect to securities I hold - giving no solution, merely the subconscious condition manifesting that absorbed from the physical experience? (A) Portion correct. Rather as is given - the subconscious

checking with the entity's mental conscious and body conscious of the existent conditions, and the questioning of the mental is as that the subconscious answers not. Not that the desire isn't there, but of the mental attitude towards same.
7. (Q) Had the search carried further into the total subconscious experience, then an answer might have been obtained from the cosmic sources? Correct? (A) Correct.
8. (Q) Changing stock market prices but symbolize concepts or ideas of continuous experience. The changing experiences are definite, and orderly, and may be foreseen, yet the ideas imposed on these eternal activities of the One process may not always be so definitely foretold. Man is free to impose ideas (form concepts and live accordingly) but God, the power of creation, is that by which and upon which Man imposes concepts. Stock prices, then, are a measure of the ideas Man is forming regarding a certain phase of life's continuous experiences and the exact accuracy of the measure of human economic experience may not be predetermined because it is but a symbol of a real, altho ever changing, state of consciousness. Conditions are made better or worse in our minds first, (A) (Interrupting) Correct.
9. (Q) then follows personal discomfort or greater personal gain. The power of mind never changes its nature, altho it varies in manifestation, (in time) and these changes in time (not in elemental character) are called by man by different symbols of higher prices, lower prices, up, down, sideways, 3 dimensions, etc. Man changes his mind, the Lord never changes His - only manifests changes according to the system of creation. The latter are the cause, the former the effect. Correct? (A) Correct.
10. That is all the questions.
11. (After pause) Now, a great deal may be builded about this correct concept of the various portions of man, called in the material plane the various concepts of the mental forces in man. The subconscious being a portion of the infinite force, and a partaker of all of man's experiences in the spiritual and physical plane. The body conscious and the mental conscious - the body conscious purely of the earthly sojourn - the mental conscious the plus, if you please, of the physical and the association of the subconscious or superconscious forces of the entity, and with this correct conception of the body building, the old building of the material and the mental structure, we have

the basis of man's relation with the Creator, for nothing BUILDS without that perfect conception of this connection between man and God, and how various conditions, whether of a spiritual nature or of an earthly nature is builded, are founded on man's concept of this condition.
12. We are through for the present.
