(Q) Saturday, August 22, on train N.Y. to Deal. Was in a
hurry to get some place, so speeded in automobile and noticed
my car license number being taken. When I arrived at
destination, policeman stopped me as they had taken my
number. I thought: "What is the use of hurrying if you are
held up on the road this way?"
(A) This, as we see, the lesson to be gained: A
picturalization of the conditions that might or could come
to the body physically, financially or mentally, from
physical viewpoint, by the hurry, as it were, to gain the
workable end of the lessons as are seen from time to time.
That is, the successes of the individual are noted, as well
as every other condition regarding body, and there will be
ever those who would seek to gain undue advantage through
the entity, and such would bring the destructive forces to
the entity. Again, as has been given, do not force the
issue. Rather wait on the Lord, gathering those inner
feelings that give the more perfect understanding of the
fullness of His grace and power, when we are in obeisance to
His laws, His will, see?
(Q) Sunday morning, August 23, at home in Deal. "Saw the
stock of some chain store corporations. It seemed to be
drugstores.
(A) (Interrupting) "United Drug Stores."
(Q) (Continuing) I sold the stock and repurchased at a
profit, then bought the stock and sold out at a profit. Then
I again sold the stock short and covered it at $1 per share.
Then I saw the abbreviation for United Cast Iron Pipe Stock;
namely C.J."
(A) These, as we see, again those manifestations to the
entity through those forces that are, as it were, fully
understandable to the individual, and are shown rather as
lessons of the entity's understanding, and that the entity
may correlate these conditions, as succeeding conditions will
come as regarding specific stock, see? Then, these are
given, not so much as for usage in dollars and cents; making
as in the spiritual sense, see? for as the entity studies
these various conditions, with the desires to be in the
position to understand and gain full knowledge and be able
to give "I have proven it!" then these are as ensamples, as
experiences, as conditions that have and do become a portion
of the purely MENTAL experience of SPIRITUAL laws manifesting
through material things, see?
(Q) To what stock does the chain store stock refer to?
(A) Given.
(Q) What does this dream indicate I should now do with that
stock?
(A) Rather to watch than delve or deal in same, see?
(Q) What does this dream indicate I should do at the present
time with United Cast Iron Pipe Stock? Buy it or sell it
short at present levels?
(A) This, as given, the entity may use as has been outlined.
He, himself, individually, shall determine as to whether he
shall make a physical, material, demonstration of lessons as
gained. Rather those as given, see? for as has been given,
the Forces present those in a specific, direct manner when
same shall be used for his convenience, as it were, and then
in a given specified manner.
