(Q) A lady, her mother and husband, came to see my mother
and myself. The lady was very charming and very beautiful.
The husband wanted to cash a check or get some money. "I
can get it for you," I said, "But today is Sunday and it
is difficult. Wait until tomorrow, Monday." He wanted the
money right away, so I took him into a bank where I knew the
cashier - but no one was in the bank. We started to search
for a checkbook and money. "I know the cashier here," I
said, "And can get you the money - but he is not here just
now. Wait until tomorrow." But he continued to search - he
wanted it now. I returned to the room where the lady, her
mother and my mother were. The lady talked of her work, her
writing and her doings. She seemed so affectionate and kind
and I wondered how her husband let her out alone so much.
He was out money grubbing and she was here. I took her hand
and was half surprised at no objection from her. I felt her
engagement and wedding rings on her finger. Then she stood
up and instead of the conventionally dressed woman, I beheld
a beautiful face and figure draped in white robes. "Do you
work every day?" I asked her. "That depends," she replied.
"In vaudeville, I work every day but Sundays in the
summertime. When I am in the movies I work every day. In
the winter time I work everyday including Sundays." I
didn't seem to need to tell her of my work - she seemed to
know of my writing already. "I should like to go into the
magazines," I said to her. "Would you like to go into the
magazines?" I nodded, I most certainly would. "Then, I will
bring you to them," she said. I knew she could and rejoiced.
(A) This, as we see, the emblematical conditions presented
to the body, [
900], for the lessons as may be gained from
same. The lady representing the work as it is being
attemped by self. The husband representing the physical
side, or that which prevents the body from accomplishing
that being attempted in the manner as is being done. The
attempt to gain the money from check, still that of self's
desire to have certain or sufficient numbers in dollars
before attempting to carry out wholly the work being done.
The return to the lady representing again the hold same
holds on the body-mind and the mental and the inner forces
of the body, [
900]. The approach to writing and magazine
representing the manner, the way, in which the approach can
and could be made with that already begun. The seeing and
understanding that the unconventional dress to the body
representing the unconventional manner in which the body may
approach such magazines and periodicals that would carry the
message as begun. The difference in the approach to the
labors of same in winter, in Sunday, in the various phases,
representing the different manners in which same may be
approached. Some in Sunday supplement manner in a way that
bring both the jest and jester. Again in the more stable
manner, the magazine and periodical that are in the way of
presenting truths to peoples. The happiness as is seen in
the manner of the work gives the success as shall be seen
through carrying out such work, for with same would come
much of the world's goods, with that of a power before men
in manner beyond that of dollars and cents. Study then all
these and approach same through such channels as carry such
articles. In the Sunday papers or supplements, in such as
is seen in Life Reading. In theosophy, theology, approach
through such periodicals as carry such. Many would be
accepted, many would be rejected and accepted in a different
manner. The correct ones would be through such as are
published by The Theosophical Society, through Century,
through World's Work, through the Atlantic Monthly. Through
these we will find this approach as is seen would come.
Winter, or reading seasons, as seen, being the one in which
all days are included.
