TEXT

1. Night of March 3rd, 1929. Got the impression regarding the market that we ought to sell everything, including the box stock. Dream concerning [140], Block Maloney, and special reference to Rosner. A bull seemed to follow [140]'s red dress. I tried to catch the bull. Some special reference to Westinghouse and Wright Airplane. My impression was down, but I'm not sure. Something in reference to the account of Righold.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [137] - this we have had before. Also those visions or dreams, as has been experienced by this body. Here we have first the impressions of conditions as would come about, and the activity the body should assume under those conditions in the activity of the exchange prices. Then we see, in this manner as presented, the picture - as it were - of the conditions presented, in the manner as may be termed a key to the situation. First there is seen the association of the body and others, including those loved ones of the family, and then those of the business associations and those business associations' activity as respecting the market, or acting in the manner of the animal - as would, or does, signify a significant position of individuals as respecting same. Again there is given in this exemplar manner, or this parable manner, that of another activity of an individual also closely associated, as well as a group, and AGAIN there is seen the special activity in two particular stocks in which this individual (Rosner) is interested - Airplane and Westinghouse. This AGAIN is shown in that of warning as respecting the conditions of an individual's account.
3. Now, viewed from THIS perspective - that first there is given a condition, then there is given in this manner the activities of OTHER individuals as respecting same - (self, associates in a business manner, individuals in a more personal manner as business associations, and activities of various individual commodities) - the interpretation then, as has been given - soon after, following the 4th, there would come the reactory conditions as respecting prices on stocks - and this will be attempted to be bolstered by various individuals, as is seen in this manner as has been presented, even of own associates and of own BUSINESS associates (as of Block Maloney), as of individuals (Rosner), and also of a warning as respecting an individual account - which would mean not only this special individual but many others - and that their accounts during this turmoil as will come by these many changes, as will be seen in a downward movement of a long duration, gradually sliding off, with fitful conditions of sudden rises and drops - that the body must be mindful of how individuals' accounts are taken care of from day to day. Not allowing, then, those that apparently even are VERY safe, too much latitude. As to the activities of self, as is indicated in the impression that the body should dispose of all those held - even those in box - would signify the great amount of change as would come. [See wife's ltr. 11/18/24 under 140-3 in re [137]'s investing her money and losing it.]
4. Now, as this has been presented as a direct condition, and then given to the body again in a manner showing how the activity would affect other individuals, associates as well as personal friends - there needs be that the self concentrate on, and obtain, direct direction of those that may assist the body in knowing what is the course to pursue, and this will be given from day to day. Intuitive activity will be necessary, but DO NOT LET such activity overact upon the physical and mental body - knowing that in the changes the body will gain an understanding in the mental, and MUCH in the material.
5. We are through for the present.
