Time of Reading 8:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.
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 them 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 before. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) Thursday morning, January 20, 1927. Voice: "Emulsified Cod-Liver Oil." This repeated. (A) This, as is seen - through correlation of the body-mental mind, through contact, conversation with others - brings to the body, through this of the correlating of conditions bodily, and of the experience in the cosmic consciousness of the entity, as to something, or a property, good for physical conditions of body. Would apply it, then! See?
4. (Q) Mean I should take this as a tonic? (A) Take this as a tonic.
5. (Q) Same seeming to have reference to stock market or at same time as following dreams regarding market. (A) We see no reference with the market.
6. (Q) On a R.R. train and looking out the window found ourselves pulling into a suburb of a big city. "If we were going in the opposite direction we would just be starting on our journey," I reasoned. That is, what is near the end of the journey to us pulling in would be but the start for those in the opposite direction. An awful big lot of people got on board the train at this stop for local stops along the line. This surprised me as I thought this wasn't a local but an express and thus not scheduled to make these stops. Well after these, the train would resume its normal speed, I reassured - that is, after leaving all these people out at local stops. (A) In this we find again the body-conscious mind reasoning, as it were, through the various mazes of
900-296 Page 2
conditions as have been studied in the mental body conscious mind as regarding conditions as relating to life, as well as of secular conditions relating to stocks and rails. In the first there is seen, that as the reasoning, the entity finds that life and life's preparation is as but the continual circle, as everything is seen in this relation, regarding the beginning being the end, the end only the beginning, and in this relation there is seen, too, those conditions regarding stocks - that while there are those stocks in the general trend of conditions as respecting rails, these are those that may be led off, or out, as it were - for, as is seen, the general speculator is not in these conditions, and the entity then should remain free of same, until the general trend, or until the way is set for the regular pull, or regular route, either going in or coming out, see? That is, while there is so much, with even the day's operations showing both an up and down movement of considerable scope, best that these be let alone; for the speculative, and not the regular traders, see?
7. (Q) I seemed holding some stock that was acting in a satisfactory manner. I saw the stock ticker and Arthur Reynolds said to me: "Now let us see how the rest of the market acts." (A) In this there is seen the continuation of those conditions, as are again seen through this emblematical way and manner of being presented, that, when these have resumed - which, as we see, the up trend will come after the fourth to the fifth - this will be more satisfactory in its activity, than being in that position where there is the constant worry as to which would be in control.
8. (Q) If this actually does refer to a stock I am holding, it must be the one given me by my innermost self - i.e. "U.S. Steel," for that is the only one I am holding long. What does this indicate regarding this stock? (A) Indicates rather that condition as of the general, than as of the specific stock - for, as of a specific one being held, and as of the conversation as is seen, this is rather of a specific action, rather than of a specific stock. See?
9. (Q) Stock ticker. A stock I thought was "B.M.T." opened at 54, then went up to 54 1/4, then broke down to 53 3/4 - 53, and possibly even to 51. When I awakened I couldn't be sure that this meant B.M.T. now selling at about 69. Later I thought this might be H.M.T. (Hudson Motors), now selling around 51. (A) This, as we see, shows to the entity, in this direct way and manner, as to how the confusion comes to the
900-296 Page 3
body-mental mind, in and through the various conditions as are being presented to the entity, and the inability to gather just what is given is, as it were, bona fide evidence to the entity that he should let same alone - for, as has been given, the way is so plain that even he who runs may read.
10. (Q) [136] said to me: "Don't Buddie, for then I won't have anything!" (A) Don't find anything.
11. (Q) A few nights ago. Saw my father, and it seemed he was operated on for appendicitis. I wanted to see the healed up wound, but he was taking a bath. "Always take a warm bath after an operation," he told me. When he got out of the tub I was able to see and examine the scar left from the operation. (A) In this there is presented to the entity, through these same emblematical forces as come to the entity from time to time, through those sources of the presentation of forces that represent ones that direct or carry the forces of the entity inward. These conditions represent, then, that in the emblematical way and manner of how the entity, in the study of the various conditions and phases of the phenomena of life, should act toward each and every precept as is set down by the entity as regarding a given law or fact. That is, as it becomes necessary from time to time, in the physical make-up of the body, that portions that are not understood, and the activity of same not understood, be removed - and following such, such conditions are as necessary; it is the same in the activity of the mental body as is being builded regarding the various conditions and relations of man in life, and of the various phases of same - it becomes necessary at times to remove certain conditions, or certain ideas, or certain builded forces in the mind. Then it behooves the entity, as it were through the mental body - to act in the same way and manner. That is, see that these are purged, in the way and manner that they are holy and acceptable, and in their correct way and place, and force.
12. We are through for the present.
