(Q) It seemed [
136] was with a group and wanted me to join
with Alice Cecil. I didn't seem to want to, so rode off in
the automobile. I came to a brown stone house and stood in
front of it. A man came along with grips - seemingly coming
home from a trip. He turned to me and taking me for some
youngster, handed me his satchels and told me to carry
them in. Feeling it would be fun - or rather feeling what
difference did it make anyway, I took his grips, acting in
the capacity of porter or street urchin, glad to earn a tip.
After bringing his grips up stairs and obeying orders, I
started down stairs, smiling to myself as I thought: "I
really didn't have to do that but what difference? He
doesn't know who I am." Then I noticed [
140] with a group
of friends - some of whom I knew, but with whom, for some
reason, I felt abashed - not wanted. [
140] called me over
and said to me: "[
900], go get Alice Cecil, bring her back
and join us." As much as I wanted to join them, I said:
"Not me - [
136] wanted me to get Alice Cecil too - not me -
I'll just travel along." "Alright," said [
140]. I felt as
though somehow the left overs were good enough for me - I was
wanted only on some condition, whereas the others were wanted
for their own selves. I went out and got into the car, when
one of the boys in the party called to me from the porch.
"You are wanted on the phone," he called gruffly. I got out
of the car, went into the house and up the stairs to the
telephone, feeling that at least maybe a stock business call
might make an impression. They weren't much interested.
(A) In this we find the emblematical conditions of the
entity in its plane of development, and its position of its
body-mind with its own development at the present time. Not
satisfied with its position, either socially, mentally or
financially, and as the call is seen from first from that
close in the home, the inability to satisfy self as to the
position it should occupy, the running away, coming again
then as SERVICE and finding pleasure therein, even when same
comes to be that as of a menial or a servant's position. In
leaving same and again drawing near to groups that represent
other positions in the social life, again being called on to
act in that capacity, finds again dissatisfaction in same.
Then, when called as if to work in that of stocks, wherein
fame or fortune might be made, again found the others not
interested. Then, the lesson as comes to the entity is seen,
then, in the summing of all, that in SERVICE alone may the
entity find that which answers to that spirit from within
that ever gives the answer of "My Spirit beareth witness with
Thy Spirit." In all then, let the service be in that way and
manner that satisfaction of mind, body and spirit may be in
that service to Him, who is as Lord and Master of the Brown
Stone [brown stone house], or of Heaven, as is seen, see?
(Q) The phone call was from Irwin Berliner, who wanted to
know about the Stock Market. He came over and joined another
fellow and myself. It seemed the market was going down.
"Where is the nearest stock broker's office who is a member
N.Y. Stock Exchange?" he asked. "Down that street there,"
pointed my friend, "They are all members." The three of us
rushed out and jumped on a trolley car. I noticed the
trolley went continuously down hill and that seemed an
indication to one of the market's downward trend. The
trolley turned a corner. "That is the trouble with these
trolleys," said my friend, "They take the longest way to get
anywheres." At this Irwin Berliner jumped off and ran down
the street - the more direct way to the broker's office. My
friend and I remained on the trolley car and I wondered
about Pan Pet Stock. I looked out of the car window and saw
the next street or avenue to ours in the same downward
slope, but the side street leading from our street on which
we were traveling, to that next street, was a SHORT and
sharp steep hill UP to that street.
(A) This, as we see, a continuation of that as is seen in
service. This again turns to that of service to others in
the manner in which has been given to the entity that same
may be used with those concerning stock exchange operations.
The interpretation is as seen. The larger buyers on the down
grade. The smaller being ones that make the sharp turn, as
in trolley, and the larger making (larger dealers) short,
quick turns; that is, going the nearer way, see? The hill,
upward, shows the different turns, as that especially to Pan
Pet, as has been given. The general trend of all market
being down, as has been given, see? Follow, the, in that
way.
(Q) Does this mean that although the market is to break
downwards, Pan Pet will have short, snappy and sudden rallies
upward?
(A) As given. Short, sudden, rallying upward, climbing
almost to that as has been seen - 70 - 73, see? 63 - 64 - 65
- breaking 66, see? 64 - 65 - 67, see? breaking again,
finally going up about second to third break, see?
(Q) What does this down grade market indicate for my other
holdings, like Business Machine for example?
(A) Downward grade on all, as given, with some few making
sharp turns, see? such as seen in Pan Pet, in Southern, in
Houston, in Havana. Many of these we will find making sharp,
quick turns.
We are through for the present.
