TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], of Apt. ..., ... St., New York City, and the experiences and dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained from each of these, as I read same to you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, of [900]. Ready for experiences and dreams.
3. (Q) Friday Night, Jan. 15, 1926, while reading James' Religious Experiences. I submit this, as I can't tell whether it is a religious experience of my own, or whether it was purely a case of nerves - i.e. physical or pathological.
   (A) (Interrupting) An EXPERIENCE - not nerves.
4. (Q) While reading, a sudden quivering came over me. I felt every pulsation of my heart, of the nerves, of the blood - I became conscious of a vibratory force moving everything within my body - even the chair upon which I was sitting seemed to be in motion. I was not asleep -
   (A) (Again interrupting) This, as we see, is as to the entity that manifestation of the action of the Spirit Forces giving that vibration to the physical from within, and is as of the result of consecration of self, self's impulses, self's inner self, to that of the manifestation of force, as applies to this entity, and is the spiritual reaction, and the PHYSICAL EFFECT of same. An experience as some have been endowed with through the various ages of man's development, as may be seen in these illustrations:
   Swedenborg, as he studied.
   Socrates, as he meditated.
   Paul, the Apostle, as he meditated upon the happenings of the hour, with the purpose meeting that spiritual force in man that brought this self-conviction; the entity, then, being over-shadowed by the force as seen, see? And as was by Buddha, in that position when meditation in the forest brought to the consciousness of the entity the At-Oneness of ALL FORCE manifested through physical aspects, or physical, in a material world.
   Then, this entity, [900], SEES, EXPERIENCES, through this, as a personal baptism of that "My spirit beareth witness with Thy Spirit, whether ye be the Sons of God or not," and as this consecration of self, in every way and manner, brings to the entity that ability of, when applied aright, to gain an insight into higher, nobler, more glorious conditions; and from this day, the entity will experience as these:
   More will seek the counsel of entity regarding the interpretation of self's (individuals, you see, approaching) condition, as relating to forces manifested in the earth's plane. The next -
5. (Q) Voice: "Come Monday."
   (A) This the call to the entity of that experience as is manifested in the life through the happenings of Monday, see?
6. (Q) Saturday Morning, Jan. 16. I was in bed with my father and in this manner he appeared to me. I cannot recall the reference except that it pertained to [136]. Recall this all important vision and explain.
   (A) The importance of this vision, this experience, must be realized by the entity, rather than recalled from the Within through other forces, for this relates to that of those conditions, as have been given, as to HOW the forces may bring those spiritual entities into the earth's plane. Then, when this is presented again, the entity will gain that knowledge, that necessary, for entity to experience, for the development of this entity, in this phase of its study.
7. (Q) A man by the name of Neilson came into our office, Saturday Morning, Jan. 16, 1926, and said to me: "I had a dream last night, Jan. 15, or morning of 16, as follows: Mr. Half (member of Block, Maloney & Co.) said to me (Neilson doing talking to me), "Do you want to make a fortune, young man?" "Yes," I replied. "Then buy Universal Pipe Stock." "You insult my intelligence to recommend such a poor stock to me," I replied. When Neilson completed telling me the above, both of us went to Mr. Meyer Half and asked him what he knew of Universal Pipe Stock. He told us he was intimate with the president of the company and knew all about it, and that we should by no means buy it now, as it had all assets and no earnings. He said there might be a fortune in it later on, and that he would tell us when to buy it. Mr. Neilson had never met Mr. Meyer Half and never gave Universal Pipe Stock a thought. Now I ask you - what is this? Here a man, Neilson, dreams Meyer Half, a man he doesn't know - has seen but never met, tells him to buy Universal Pipe Stock, and it turns out Half is on the inside of this stock and intimate with the president. Should we wait for Half? Should we buy when Half tells us to?
   (A) This experience is as to the entity that which may be used as an illustration of that relativity of vibratory forces are set in motion that relate to physical and spiritual conditions in the earth plane, as relating to the manifestations through phenomenized forces in material world. Here we find an entity (Neilson) that is susceptible, even in physical, to the suggestions of those whom entity (Neilson) feels KNOW the Truth, or one of a worshipful intent toward Truth, rather than fame or position; yet cognizant of the condition of each. In the subconscious the entity gains, then, the vision of that presented to same, through that spiritual telepathic force, of presenting conditions to the mind that is turned to that point of finding the way and means of gaining monies, at once, or in a certain manner. Same, then, presented to the entity in a positive, definite manner. Taking in, then, all those elements of purpose, in the inner self of the real man, as is seen (Neilson, see?), presenting, then, an individual; knowledge physically known, yet not intimate; a stock that's known by individual, though not conscious of same, see? telepathically; yet the knowledge is found.
   Then, as to apply this in the life of [900]: Study WELL before ANY action taken in same, see? Give the lessons to the entity presenting this, for in this one may be found many responding vibrations to the studies being made by [900].
   In the physical, WHEN this is given to purchase, PURCHASE, for with the orders that are in the way of being presented to Universal Pipe Stock will advance, for they will make money.
8. We are through with this.
