(Q) Are the Van Sweringen interests going to take over the
Norfolk Southern and will it be accomplished this year?
(A) As we find indicated, this will eventually come to
pass. Is it perfected in the present adjustments for these
interests, will happen this year - in the middle or latter
portion of same.
As we find, there have been considerable discussions as to
just which lines would be indicated in the outlet to this
particular region. There have been negotiations for this
to be included, and there have also been negotiations that
this should furnish rather a trunk or an outlet eventually
to another system, to which it is the greater indebted in
the present. As to whether this will outweight that as will
offer the system another outlet to the greater commercial
center - of Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, Akron, and the like
- to the sea in this direction - for eventually this port,
[Norfolk, Va.] which is supplied by this special line, must
become not only one to be reckoned with but one that is to
surpass most of the others, on account of its adjustments
for the various outlets to the centers of an ever growing
country. When we take many of conditions that are to come
about, that are of entirely different nature, this becomes
a different story. This is, as given, as set in the MINDS
of individuals who control the interest of Norfolk Southern.
(Q) Have negotiations been started yet for absorption of
the Norfolk Southern by the Chesapeake & Ohio, and are
Norfolk Southern officials aware of same?
(A) This has been indicated, that there has been the
approach. There are two reasons why, as given, that it
should not be absorbed in this direction, to the one where
it should. One, of course, being the difference between
those of the Virginian and the ... [R.R.] in the supplying
of the various sections, and while there may be the
possibility that it will - rather, as we find, would it be
the other than this; for to that trunk line giving an outlet
and supplying for many directions, as we find, would be
better. Negotiations, or indications, that it has been
suggested - yes; we find it rather that it would weather
through and be retained possibly by the other interests;
though, as given, this may CHANGE!
(Q) How much longer will this general depression last and
when will we begin to see a definite improvement?
(A) In the Spring of '33 will be the real definite
improvements. There will be periods, to be sure, of much
better - and periods of 'all gone to pot!' - but the definite
periods, as we find in the present, would be in the Spring
of '33.
(Q) What parts of the country will first show signs of a
revival in business?
(A) The southern and southwestern will be the better for
some commercial interests. Those of other interests, as
the Railroads, must be considered as adjustments are made
in not only the relative valuations in stocks and bonds,
and the like, these must come from the motive and steel
interests. Hence will be spotted in eastern and western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the MIDDLE West, with a considerable
change in the far western portion of the country. This in
the immediate vicinity, as indicated from the port as
supplied by those that come to this particular port, will
gradually be on the advance; for the safety, with the surety
of not only shipping, but of the interests as will be
represented in the foreign lands.
(Q) From answer given me in my reading of Feb. 27th [
311-7]
I judge I will definitely make some business change in 1932.
Is this correct?
(A) As has been indicated, we find will be correct - and,
as was given, as to just the manner of making the change,
whether as the same lines with promotions or demotions, or
whether into entirely different fields - yet with a touch,
or the use of the present knowledge, depends a great deal
upon that chosen by the body in those periods when there
comes those opportunities for these changes.
(Q) What are the two lines of association with [
943] that
are of interest to me? [See
311-7, Par. 9-A on
2/27/32.]
(A) These have been, as we find, more or less of a spasmodic
interest. At times reaching that where there might be an
entire change in the associations that would pertain to those
things that were MADE, or were contacted for. Then there
are those interests as require more in the MENTAL world
of associations. These have been rather of the spasmodic
interest. They had both better be more of the concrete
nature before definite changes were made, for there are
offered in mental change through those associations of
fields that have long been of greater interest, that which
- if chosen - would be much the improvement. While those
in the commercial nature, or more of that direction, do not
offer - in the immediate years - a great development, under
the existent conditions.
(Q) Please explain further answer to question eleven in
reading given me Feb. 27th. [See
311-7, Par. 11-A.]
(A) Well this, as has just been given, opens the way for
the understanding or elucidation to own self on these
questions - see?
(Q) What are the necessary developments and when will they
come about to make the changes mentioned?
(A) When conditions are more stabilized, or the interest
of self has been changed sufficient to warrant that there
be the exploration of self into these other fields - see?
(Q) Would it be incorrect for me to request information
regarding buying or selling stocks listed on the N.Y. Stock
Exchange?
(A) Not incorrect; but the information - unless there is
an understanding first gained - may bring rather that of
disastrous conditions to the body. Once understood - their
relative relations understood - the body would be a very good
one to deal in such, and keep the head - but understand the
law, or do not attempt same!
(Q) Please explain this more fully.
(A) The abilities of the body in the direction of being
one that would deal in such commodities and keep his head,
without becoming panicky, is evident - but to use such
information through psychic sources as to deal in same,
unless the LAW of same - see - both that as pertains to
numbers, names, and those of stocks and the like - is
understood, be very inadvisable!
(Q) How soon will the changes in the earth's activity begin
to be apparent?
(A) When there is the first breaking up of some conditions
in the South Sea (that's South Pacific, to be sure), and
those as apparent in the sinking or rising of that that's
almost opposite same, or in the Mediterranean, and the Aetna
area, then we may know it has begun. [See
5752-3 in re
creation, etc.]
(Q) How long before this will begin?
(A) The indications are that some of these have already
begun, yet others would say these are only temporary. We
would say they have begun. '36 will see the greater changes
apparent, to be sure.
(Q) Will there be any physical changes in the earth's
surface in North America? If so, what sections will be
affected, and how?
(A) All over the country we will find many physical changes
of a minor or greater degree. The greater change, as we will
find, in America, will be the North Atlantic Seaboard. Watch
New York! Connecticut, and the like.
(Q) When will this be?
(A) In this period. As to just when -
(Q) What, if any, changes will take place around Norfolk
area, Va?
(A) No MATERIAL, that would be effective to the area, other
than would eventually become more beneficial - in a port, and
the like.
(Q) Is the Rosicrucian Order, Amorc, fully aware of the
impending changes in the earth's activities, and is it taking
proper steps to meet these conditions?
(A) This, to be sure, would involve many of those that are
secrets, or for many of only initiates for this particular
order. There is being a concerted effort to warn those of
that particular trend of thought in the direction, though
the period as is mostly given, as we find, BEGINS then and
goes on - rather than being the period of the greater change,
as is being taught by these - see? Some of these, it's best
not to give, for we would involve others; for some here are
not initiates!
(Q) Give the names of the Railroads, besides C & O and
Virginia, that are interested in acquiring the ... [R.R.].
(A) Southern, Pennsylvania - as already owns or controls,
and those that would be included in the New York Central
combine. This is all jumbled together, as has been indicated
- or as is known by the body - and those that have been
interested in same - but the general is that it must either
be through the control of those of the Van Sweringen lines,
or the C & O and its subsidiaries, or remain in control - and
which would let an outlet for the Pennsylvania.
We are through for the present.
