Time of Reading 12:10 P. 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 see, come for the entity's use, in the way and manner as has been given. Ready for dream.
3. (Q) Morning of September 1, 1926. A radio set. [137] handed me some electrical appliance connected with same. I wondered at it. (A) In this there is presented, in part, those of the mental forces as are presented to the sub-conscious forces through the mental mind, and only a portion of that is explained, or it becomes as a wonderment. Not an indication, then, of any particular lesson, save that in, as may be seen, that the subconscious forces of an entity will, under the stress of the mental mind, interpret or direct actions that may be taken by the entity in a material way.
4. (Q) Any indication of radio stock? (A) We do not find it so.
5. (Q) Afternoon of September 1, while reading on train. Voice: "Some more financing to be done." (A) This the indication that the present prices in stocks are through the banks or financial institutions refinancing various propositions. Hence the high prices as have been seen, and as will continue for the time, until the greater portion of these are accomplished, especially in rails.
6. (Q) Is this an explanation of the cause of the present market's strength - i.e. the bankers need a strong market to sell the new issues and securities they are and plan to bring out? (A) Just as given.
7. (Q) Morning of September 2. A room with Herbert Herff
900-266 Page 2
and it seemed a Saturday morning on which [137] did not go to the floor, but stayed in the office and supervised things. [137] protested my constant trading, and I showed Herbert Herff my stock market trades. "That is the trouble," he said. "Always have to be in the market one way or another." [137] said he didn't like my Foundation Company stock. (A) In this the warning to the entity as regarding the indiscriminate way and manner of first one stock, then another. Rather should the entity follow that as is outlined by the one seen REMAINING in the office, for through the cooperation of each, as has often been given, will the greater strength for both persist and exist.
8. (Q) Then I went out and into Herzog & Glazer's office. I noticed it was raining. The market seemed to be going down, or about to go down. I met an old friend of mine, now a writer - Menken by name. He greeted me. The market seemed mixed - up and down, and I pointed out to Menken that money was to be made on the long side before the market sold down. But there seemed a hurry. (A) This that same indication as is given to the entity in this direct way and manner. Be well, then, with care and with discretion, that this be followed in the way and manner, for, as is seen and indicated by the two portions of the vision here indicated, the raining, the pouring, the settling will begin. The writing that of the friendship, and the writer of the mode, manner, in which the settling begins - that is, when the full force of re-finance of the conditions come about, and those conditions as are to be seen in many ways and manners that are to exist in the world's affairs, or through the action of planetary conditions in the earth's forces, these will bring those changes about, which will cause many unsettled conditions in the earth's forces - businesses - relations - conditions. Be out before then, see?
9. (Q) Hurry to get out of long stocks before a downward move of stock prices uses up this profit? (A) Just as has been given, see? Not such the hurry, for much will be made yet, see? Rather that of the MANNER in which this is to be handled, see? That is, with the attention, with the conditions in the way and manner as has been outlined.
10. (Q) Does this indicate profit should be taken on all class of securities - i.e. rails? (A) On all classes, though yet much may be expected in profit in rails, see?
11. (Q) Then the return to the room. [137] said, "If you'd only get out of that rotten Foundation stock. I don't like
900-266 Page 3
holding that class of security." "It is making a profit for us," I replied. "You haven't done so well in trading lately yourself." [137] continued to make deprecating remarks to Alfred Haft that angered me and caused a quarrel. (A) This rather the same indication of those conditions as have been given, as respecting the action and the way in which the trading should be done, and the warning to the entity to clear out of some of those, especially that as is seen, and as is felt by one seen, that will not prove satisfactory, see?
12. (Q) Does this indicate that Foundation Co. stock should not be held? (A) Should be sold, see? Be out of same.
13. (Q) That the industrial stocks should be sold for a downward break? (A) As given, there are MANY variations, and these shall be taken, each and everyone, in that way and manner as is presented to the entity from time to time. Many shall be in direct opposition of what others would counsel the entity to do, yet, as has been given, each and every one would be pointed out to the entity, and the way and manner to handle, would the entity direct self in that way and manner.
14. (Q) Then I walked up to the window to put in some orders and met young Harold Rhodes. I was glad to see him and put my arm about him. [137] seemed pleased with him too. (A) Through these forces and channels are seen there will be presented those conditions through which much good may be gained - of entity as seen, and the good intent and good feeling as is felt between the two, see? Another association that would bring much to the entity, in financial, social, and in business relation.
15. (Q) Any reference to Weber and Heilbroner or this class of chain store stock? (A) Rather of the individual, and of conditions associated with same, than of individual stocks.
16. (Q) [137] and I returned to our seats and he began to dog me again - particularly about Foundation stock. "Well, I'll sell it," I said. "But I can keep the Union Pacific Stock, can't I?" Here the Voice answered as much as [137]. "Yes, keep the Union Pacific Stock." (A) This still that indication to the entity of the ways and manners as have been directed and followed out, and, as are seen, these are only the verifications of those same conditions as have been exploited or visioned to the entity as the manner and way in which these conditions are to be handled at this time.
17. (Q) Does this indicate this stock is going higher or that
900-266 Page 4
(A) (Interrupting) All rails are going higher, see?
18. (Q) Saw N.Y. Central stock at 141 3/4 and myself selling my 200 shares. "I was going to take a smaller profit - why shouldn't I take this one," I reasoned. (A) This the same indication as has been given of ALL rails, as the advance - this as the criterion, as it were, for rail stocks, see?
19. (Q) Yet if the rails are going much higher in price, why sell N.Y. Central unless it will react downward, sufficiently to let me buy it under 141 3/4? Will it? (A) In that same way and action as has been given and outlined for the entity to take and handle these conditions. At the present situations, these should be handled in THAT way and manner, for, as has been given, in each and every one, the entity may depend upon that inner voice as gives to the entity that of the action at that time on THAT particular condition, and, as is seen in the verification of same, is in the answer as comes from both the individual as has been given as assistant in the guide and as from the Voice itself.
20. We are through for the present.
