Time of Reading 11:15 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Deal, N.J.
1. GC: You will have before you 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 which I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had here before. The dreams, as we have, come to the entity in the way and manner as has been outlined. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Morning of September 1, 1926. I was at the Wabash R.R. station and I watched the pullman cars of an early morning train go by. I got right up close to the train. Then a freight train came along and a coupling between the two cars broke. "Pleasant to see," I said to a friend. "It might happen while we are riding on a train. Makes one comfortable." "It does," he laughed. Thus in fun we said what we didn't mean. I expected this to stop the train but it didn't, as chains connected in some fashion held the cars together and the train kept right on moving. (A) This, as we see, with the rest of that as is visioned with same, is of the body-mind and mental forces, seeking the interpretation through the subconscious forces, thereby presenting same as an experience in the consciousness of the entity as regarding that thought or studied upon as respecting the market, for, as the entity visions the various conditions arising in rails, these, then, show how the entity in the mental forces has reasoned the advances in the various market reports in the various stocks or roads, and as the entity visions self watching the higher priced, or the pullmans pass in the early rise, see? or morning.
4. (Q) Any indication of a stock market reaction that is to come and slow up the rail stocks but not stop their upward climb? (A) This same indication, as is seen, and as has been given, seeing the early rise, yet with the general trend, the general conditions, slowed up, yet many issues - such as Delaware, Lackawanna, Southern, Wabash, Southern Pacific -
900-265 Page 2
all of these will still have their advances as yet, see?
5. (Q) Then I went to the ticket office and asked the best and shortest route to Louisville, Kentucky. "You can either go by this road or the lower road - (Big Four) i.e., N.Y. Central R.R." the ticket man said. "That is, I can change at Toledo, Ohio, or Fort Wayne, Indiana, on this road (showing that altho I said Louisville, Kentucky, I really meant Cleveland, Ohio, for these are the points at which one changes for Cleveland), or go direct to Louisville via Indianapolis on the N.Y. Central (This latter time I did mean Indianapolis and Louisville). "If I go by this road," I continued, "what time do I leave?" "You can take the 8:45 morning train - here it comes now." But I wanted more information before going, which the ticket man didn't seem anxious to give me. I noticed the time tables of different colors in the rack and should like to have had them and planned my trip, but feared to ask for too much. In the meantime the train (the 8:45 on the Wabash R.R.) had come and gone. I thought of taking the interurban trolley but that was too slow and out of the question. My Uncle [...] said to me: "You ought to go to Indianapolis - it really is an obligation." "Why?" I asked. "Well, it's a live city and an increasingly prosperous one. Don't I come to N.Y.?" "That is different," I replied. Meanwhile time was passing. It was now about 10:00 A.M. "How long will it take to go to Indianapolis on this road?" I asked. "Four hours," ticket seller replied. "What time do I leave?" "12:45 P.M. now," he answered. At last he gave me a Wabash R.R. Time Table and on the cover I noticed this ad: "Plenty of Trains Now." Evidently some changes and improvements had been made on this road. "How long will it take on the N.Y. Central?" I asked. "Three hours," he replied. "But the Wabash is the nicer road - the more comfortable way," I reasoned. (A) This again the same indication of conditions as regarding stocks, as has been given, yet representing, as is seen, various other ones, touching points as seen - that is, as touching Louisville, see? C & O, L & N, Southern, Henderson - all of these various ones show the different effects as created in the market as respecting these.
6. (Q) Then I changed my mind, as I thought of my Uncle [90] in Phoenix, Arizona. "There is where I really should go," I said. "Phoenix, Arizona." "We'll take you right there," the ticket man said. He got out a time table and pointed out that there were complaints that the train didn't stop at enough stations, particularly the Alabama and Southern connections didn't. As for Phoenix, it seemed I could go by Wabash & Atchison or other western connections

and get there the third day following. "The third day following," I said, "or about three or four days from N.Y. City." (A) The three or four days before the break - that is, from the first, when this is seen - in the Southern, the Southern Pacific, the Santa Fe, Rock Island, Wabash and Atchison - all of these - the same indications of the time, as it were, of the high valuations, or higher prices, in the various rail stocks, see? each presented from a different angle, or showing the different ways or manners of reaching the destinations of the high points or prices, see?
7. (Q) This indicates the Southern and Western roads with connections east and west, such as: Delaware, Lackawana out of N.Y. City, and the Wabash out of Buffalo. Then the change to the Atchison or other western roads, such as Union Pacific. Will this Western & Southern group go much higher? (A) For the three to four days, see? as is seen, go much higher.
8. (Q) Voice: "Atchison may react two points or so to 158." (A) Showing the reactions, or the changes, as is seen. This a presentation, as it were, of that as has been given, through the experience of the entity seeking from the subconscious forces those interpretations or experiences in vision of that thought, contemplated, studied, or reasoned, through body conscious and mental forces of the body, see?
9. (Q) As small reaction as this after a rise such as this stock has had is very little - just about enough to permit rebuying it. Do these dreams indicate a big upward move in this stock, except for a possible reaction to 158? (A) The same as is seen and as has been given, see?
10. (Q) It may react and may not to 158? (A) It may react and may not to 158, see?
11. (Q) Voice: "The 9th." The number 9 appeared to me. (A) This giving the three, four to five days for the changes, as is seen - nine being the end, as it were, and a peak, or high point, with the breaks as have been given for the numbers or the double action for the higher forces, see? Breaks, as we see it. For there may be expected, see, an awful turmoil and change in markets about the fifteenth of October - extreme high or extreme low.
12. (Q) Afternoon of August 31, 1926, on boat. Saw a trap door and a man who seemed ready to open it. (A) This the indication, from the visions of the subconscious forces, of that there is to be opened to the entity an unseen vision of conditions, in which the entity has and is putting much thought and study - received from one known, then, to entity, yet not in the consciousness thinking or thought of any phase of same being presented
900-265 Page 4
through such sources. Well that the entity for the indication here to vision this, or take as an experience, as that will bring to the entity much for thought and study.
13. (Q) Stock market trap? How and in what? (A) Not stock market - vision of other conditions the entity has been studying, see?
14. (Q) Morning of August 31. A figure leading me by the hand. Voice: "The Lord will lead you - but you must -" I've forgotten the rest. This was also followed by others that have slipped my memory. (A) In this, as is seen, again and again the entity receives that reassurance of the higher forces guiding, guarding, and directing the entity in its actions, as it were, with the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. Then, to gain more and more of this strength as is taken by the entity in such, apply more and more in that way and manner that each and every word as is spoken, or visioned, will be retained by that full consciousness, for, as is seen by the entity, in the study of this condition, is as of any material condition, either mental or in physical, by the constant doing of any act the body becomes unconsciously an adept in such action. By any mental training - reaction - the body becomes mentally an adept in same. By the full reaction, then, to those spiritual positions, in which the entity gains that blessing of the higher forces, the entity would become the adept in same. Apply self, then, that each day, each hour, each moment, the life, mentally, physically, morally, spiritually, may become One with that ruling, guiding, directing force, of which this entity may apply same, would the entity bring self wholly to that position of the worthy receiver, in applying that already in hand. Do that.
15. We are through for the present.
