(Q) Tuesday Morning, Nov. 10. It seemed we were all at
Edgar Cayce's at Virginia Beach. As I walked in I was much
surprised to find [
140] and Constance Coleman walking arm
in arm in the room. I was particularly surprised to find
Constance Coleman there. I said to her: "Well, what are
you doing here?" "Aha!" [
140] and she answered, as though
to say, "Now aren't you surprised? We are interested too."
Then I noticed many poorer people seated around - some from
Bronx, N.Y., others from other places, and some with babies
and children. I saw [
137] and talked with him about our rail
experience. I asked Cayce what reading he was taking and he
indicated a physical. I was disappointed - wanted a reading
on Southern R.R. - however, my attention turned to the poor
woman with a child - for whom the reading was to be taken,
and felt it would be selfish to object. So I retired to the
background. Edgar Cayce lay upon the couch preparatory to
going to sleep. They called me to take the reading. "Oh,"
I said, "I thought maybe the party herself wanted to take
self's own physical - or maybe you didn't want me to take
this one." "No, no," they all cried - [
140], Constance,
Mrs. Cayce and all the rest called, "We don't want you out
of it - we want you to manage it - you take the reading, but
help us" - a poor lady showed me her baby. So I walked up
to the couch upon which Edgar was lying, preparatory to
taking the reading. In the background of my head I hoped
some voluntary reading on Southern R.R. might be given, it
worried me so. While all this was going on, Edgar Cayce
had been going to sleep, and as I turned to Mrs. Cayce and
and mentioned my fear, Edgar spoke saying: "I don't know
if I'm asleep or not!" I noticed his glazed eyes and decided
he was asleep. Then his arm swung out and I just missed a
good wallop. He rose from the couch and performed very
peculiarly. He talked jerkily about Southern R.R. saying:
"We don't need to make all the money in one turn on
Southern." "Will it go up so that we will make any?"
I asked. Another swing of the arm, which I just managed
to dodge. "We will do our clearing" said Cayce. I thought
of this and wondered what it meant. Cayce changed his place
and I moved discretely back, fearing more trouble. "We can
buy in odd lots," said Cayce. I thought of how little we can
make that way. Cayce moved back to his reclining position
on the couch. I wanted to wake him up but could not do so,
because I had lost the paper on which the words were written
to wake him up. I turned to Mrs. Cayce and she didn't seem
to know and then I looked from one to the other, searching
for that paper. "How can I wake him up?" I asked. Sitting
in circular fashion, they all gazed at me as though to say:
"The whole business is up to you!"
(A) In this we find there presented in a very certain and
definite manner the attitudes as are seen and felt by the
entity as regarding the conditions as existent in regards
the work being attempted to be done through the phenomenized
conditions as are presented from time to time, and the lesson
as should be gained from same should be, that the needs of
the children, and of others who are in need of the service
of such phenomena, should be given more opportunity for such,
and that the findings of the work as was set forth in the
beginning should be given to the peoples, in a manner that
they may have part in same, and in that way there will be
found that those who are unsuspecting of now having an
interest in same would be in the of way being the very ones
to assist more. Also that the way of obtaining information
necessary for such as is needed by the entity in the handling
of stocks, or of special conditions, would be more easily
to be obtained in a way and manner that would give more in
return, then in the way of keeping a directness in a one
channel manner that prevents the forces giving their service
in the correct way to so many others, see? for as the way
is shown in the call to the entity to give self in the way of
conducting the work for the child in the presence of entity
in vision, with the desire in self that self's operations be
attended first, shows the position of the inmost forces in
entity, and much of the condition that hinders in many ways,
see? for we have as in this, as is presented, many various
phases of the propagation of the work being attempted, and of
ways, manners and means that same should be conducted, and in
all of same the good, the bad, as may be seen in self and in
the service of work and the hindrances and the betterments,
for many phases and much study should be given this vision
as is presented to the entity here, see?
(Q) Voice: "Yes, the St. Paul was meant for you - you can
buy it. Why not? What price? - 16 3/4."
(A) This, as we see, the call of the inmost self to those
thought forces as manifested in the physical plane, answering
same in the subconscious, yet, as has been seen by the actual
experience in physical plane, these same securities have not
proven to be one of monetary gain to the entity; yet were the
various phases of same studied in the manner in keeping with
many of the lessons as have been gained by the entity, the
call and the response by same in taking hold of this will be
seen, in the future, the results coming in a way that is in
keeping with the lessons and truths as are being gained by
[
900], in the study of phenomenized conditions in relation to
physical conditions in relation to physical conditions that
have their spiritual aspect from the spirit of man's
connection and association with same, which in a final
analysis is a one concept of the whole spiritual force, of
which only a portion in man being manifested, and that often
diverted to channels that are in keeping with man's EARTHLY
desires, see?
(Q) Does this mean that I should buy St. Paul Preferred
Stock at 16 3/4? When?
(A) As given, this has been acted upon and found not
beneficial as yet in a financial way and manner, and from
the action and concept of same in the physical sense, this
has proved to be a hindrance in a manner to the entity's full
concept of the Voice as speaks to the entity through the
channels of the entity's making the connection in the manner
as is done with this force that supplies same, for as is
seen in this, we have again an illustration of that concept
of the coffin, or of the box, with its sides and with its
phenomenized projection of the concept of that not seen, see?
(Q) I awakened and thinking over the above (St. Paul
Preferred), felt the low price made it particularly
attractive and planned to purchase a big lot of it.
Then went back to sleep and had following dream:
Voice: "This entity plans to buy much of St. Paul Stock for
Self. Can't starve others out. Such plane will not succeed.
Greed to the greedy, but the 'classic' oh that is different."
And then I beheld a beautiful green parchment, decorated with
silver designs. Words were written thereon - but before I
could read them, or hear further of the Voice the telephone
bell awakened me.
(A) On this we find this inscription: INHOKNOSES - In hok
noses - meaning, then, that same concept and truth which
could and would be gained by entity in its final
understanding and analysis of the relation with self to
that stock as seen, see?
(Q) Wednesday Morning, Nov. 11. Was thinking of Pacific Gas
& Electric. Voice: "What do you think stock price movements
are?" Then was something explained to me that I seem to now
recall as this: The Wills or forms of phenomenized spirit
force operating to change the psychic force of a stock - that
is the value of a stock - value being but a concept of the
spirit force of the stock, which force changes in concept
only - the force itself is one with the force that seems to
cause its change in phenomenized life. Man changes the house
into a church. Same building but different Spirit to the
Church House than to the Apartment House. Also the House is
first dimension of the Spirit Force, the Will that changed
its spirit or atmosphere was part of the third dimension
manifestation of the same force (This Will may, if it
chooses, become the spirit condition in the 4th dimension
that creates - not phenomenized changes, but creates the
conditions of the Spirit Force by which these changes may
be and are made. Now let a number represent one condition
caused by the operation of this Will on the Stock or on the
House, and another number represent another condition caused
by the operation of this will on the Stock Price or House and
you have numerical symbols representing phenomenized changes
of the Phenomenized Spirit Force. Similarly the effect of
these changes on third dimension life, or on that portion of
the Whole known in phenomenized form as man may be
represented by numbers. Thus, for example, Pacific Gas &
Electric - (some numbers given I can't recall which and
their exact sequence) would make Pacific Gas prices 128 -
other prices given as result of first set of numbers. That
is, the coming prices of Pacific Gas were figured out for me
by this numerical method as an example. Please work this
out for me as was worked out for me in dream, showing me HOW
you arrive at your conclusions. How can you say ADD and
make the numerical result a smaller number? Explain this
and give me the above example on Pacific Gas.
(A) In this we have the actual experience of the individual
as regarding the prices as quotations on the Exchange to
yesterday - the 8th of December, those conditions as were
seen in the vision, and the entity should use same to work
out the various changes. The addition to make a smaller
number is as but this: All numbers in the phenomenized form
are but One, with the addition of ones to make any given
number. As in the 1 - 2 - 8 in its addition is 2 - 1 - 8,
making the 1 - 1, and 1 and 1 - 2 - showing, then, as the
action has been in this particular stock, from the numerical
action or spirit in same, though Will's Force as being 2 in
action, as given. That is, with the gradual rise, yet with
that weakness in the decline that makes this an unstable
condition for profit taking in the period as given, see? The
best then, work this out for self, as through the action in
same, the full concept as explained to self in the light of
this as given will be made cognizant then to the entity.
(Q) Some controversy with [
136], ending with [
136] saying
to me: "Don't you dare talk to me that way!" I saw my own
attitude in the matter as might be expressed: "I'll tell you
a few things if you don't change," or "If you don't want me
to talk that way, don't say and do such provoking things."
(A) This a physical presentation of attitudes through mind
as viewed from the subconscious condition, and in the light
of conditions as have been given regarding same, and in the
light of those conditions that have been and come to be
outgrowth of same, explains and gives to the entity the
insight into how, why, this has been presented to entity
here.
(Q) Am I wrong in trying to in any way correct [
136]?
(A) As has been given, in and through these forces as are
manifest in this entity, [
136], there lies those channels
through which entity may gain for self blessings, and give
many more blessings to others. Then the attitude should be
as that in keeping with that which manifests through its own
phenomenized conditions, as directed by those that have
gained knowledge sufficient of self to direct.
(Q) In it my manner of correction, rather than the
correction that is wrong?
(A) Manner.
(Q) How may I act as a better influence to have [
136]
realize my ideals of life and in her own way measure up to
them, that we both, together as One, may find favor in His
Sight? That is my only intent and purpose.
(A) GRANTED - yet, we find through precept rather than
through example has this been presented often. Then more by
example and ensample give those lessons as should be, and
would be, applicable in the life of each to gain that force
as is necessary for that perfect compatibility that must
exist between two that would give the best forces to HIM, and
others.
We are through for the present.
