(Q) Wednesday Night, March 10, or Thursday Morning, March
11, 1926. "Saw our margin book and our own stock account
that I - or that [
137] and I are now both watching closely
and following in detail. Now again my physical and
subconscious reasoned - the physical presenting, so to
speak, the problem in the form of the book and account and
the subconscious seemed to approve or O.K. the reasoning as
follows: 'Why not sell some of the stocks and be safer?'
'Because the account still owes us money, in spite of the
rally - we are as yet not even having our original $20,000
capital, plus that put in during recent break - but of course
this is no assurance that the upward move will continue and
gain it back for us. Probably we are fortunate in having
gotten back as big a part as we have and the subconscious
reasoning seemed to O.K. the idea of not taking too big a
risk in losing again this principal - to minimize the chance
of losing by reducing the line of stocks. The subconscious
reasoning the experience understood in one grasp thoroughly
the suffering it in physical form would have to endure if
physical things (stock market) went wrong and that
subconscious didn't relish the prospect and there is
another lesson I learned - i.e. that God or the Creative
Power desires in its creative process of phenomenized form
no greater suffering than necessary to accomplish its
creative purpose or to put it in words of the gospel - Our
Father is full of tenderness, sympathy, kindness and love -
will we but rely upon our own subconscious self that is the
power expressing itself in the physical form of these
characteristics. Thus my subconscious mind - sell and
reduce the chance of ultimate crash and physical failure and
necessary suffering.'"
(A) This, as we see, is the presentation to the entity of
that as has been given, as regarding the changes as were to
come, and of the condition as to how the usage of the margin
book is used, in the way and manner and form as has been
presented, and is well reasoned, as we see, in the entity's
subconscious, and the correlation of the physical aspects
of the conditions as presented are seen to be in keeping with
the lessons as are being gained by the entity. This, as we
see, is that as has been given of how the entity, [
900], more
and more gains the full body mind impressions of the
transition of the mental forces of the entity to that of
the subconscious, and seeing the awakening or the reasoning
as is given through such forces.
These, then, as has been given, should be followed more and
more, in the way and manner as is here presented to the
entity, see? Then the lesson as is gained: Comply, then.
Not over-ride the conditions presented by the subconscious
and that are reasoned for the entity by the axioms of the
day through physical conditions.
(Q) This proposition relies upon three conditions: First
the condition of the general market. As given, it would be
unstabilized for many weeks. This has come to pass as given.
Is it now stabilized and WILL IT TURN ITS TREND DEFINITELY
UPWARDS TO HIGHER STOCK PRICE LEVELS FOR SOME TIME TO COME
FROM PRESENT PRICE LEVELS?
(A) This variation, as we see, is to be kept up in many
various stocks; yet there are individual stocks that are to
be now on the general upward trend for several weeks, see -
until May.
(Q) Second: Our account is long 1300 shares of Hudson
Motors about $150,000 worth of stock in cash. The plain
fact is, a big and sudden drop on this quantity could break
us completely, or, if as given it is going to $200 a share
it can MAKE us. Are conditions in the pool now such that
this as given will come to pass, for as also given we should
be prepared to jump either way. Which way at present?
(A) As has been given. This has been outlined for the
entity, that were the entity in that position to know the
action of the inside forces, or a member of the pool, then
act in that way and manner as has been given. WITHOUT this
knowledge from within, then in the rise, as is seen Tuesday
- Wednesday, well to be out of same, that the chance may be
minimized, as has been seen and given by the entity's own
subconscious.
(Q) Third: As given, traction stocks are going way up and
should have been bought around Feb. 9 or 10. We bought
Third Ave. 600 shares at 35 1/8 and 38 3/8. Is this stock
going further up, as given?
(A) Going further up, as given.
(Q) Friday Morning, March 12. "Seemed to be a conference
between my mother, father and grandmother. My mother seemed
to be objecting to some extravagance, when my father
interrupted and took complete charge. He said to me:
'[
900], you pay about $5000 in insurance premiums a year,
don't you?' 'Not quite - almost,' I replied. 'What is done
with that money?' 'When I am about 50 years old I will have
saved up in insurance about $100,000, giving me an income of
about $5000 a year.' My father nodded and I noticed a scar
or wound upon his head near the temple, but towards the
forehead."
(A) This, as we see, that same condition as is being
presented to the entity in this way and manner, as have
been outlined; that more and more there is seen those
various conditions of the mental forces of the entity,
that are reasoned in the mental force, weighed now in
subconscious forces, and gaining the approval of those
conditions that present as the spirit forces of entities
in the physical and spiritual plane. Seeing then the
dissention, seeing then the gain as is questioned, as is
given as co-inciding with the innate understanding of the
entity itself regarding such conditions. The scar as is
seen or presented toward the forehead of the entity, as is
seen from the spirit forces or plane, presenting that of
the condition of entity itself toward that knowledge of the
entity's UNDERSTANDING of the conditions being presented.
That is, as this scar represents to the entity a physical
condition having taken place in the spiritual plane, so as
to be discernable to the entity, and one not known concerning
in physical sense,
1 this then presents to the entity that in
the physical mind there is held those conditions that to the
spiritual or subconscious self renders the entity, [
900],
incapable of acquiring the full knowledge. What presents
same?
Self - in the manner of PRESENTING conditions as are seen.
Do not project self too far in same, see?
(Q) "I was in a food store (delicatessen) receiving food
and paying for it. Again my mother objected and my father
interfered. 'I was like that once,' he said and again I
noticed his damaged head."
(A) Again we see this presented to the entity in that same
way and manner, and is as of a physical condition relating
to self TOWARD FOOD, see?
(Q) "Then my grandmother came to the front and I was back
in her Indiana home. It seemed I was dubious about sleeping
in her bed - the one she had slept in while alive. Then my
Uncle Leo and I were talking about some stocks, or stock.
'And do you know,' I was saying to him, seeming to refer to
Ben Block, his business associate, 'All the time he knew it
was you buying the stock at 124.' 'That certainly was not
right,' replied my Uncle Leo."
(A) This, we see, a presentation, in an unclarified manner
to the entity, of both physical conditions, of the relations
to self, to the spiritual forces, to the home, and to stocks.
This, as we see, again is presented to the entity in the
physical manner, and will be seen again, as relating to Ben
Block and propositions that have been made and will be made,
concerning the relation between [
900] and [
137] and Block.
These will be seen again, and WHEN seen again - these
clarified. Yes, this has been seen again - here we have
other dreams - has been written here. There is seen the
book, the change, and Ben Block - HORACE Block going over
book, and the checking up on same, or the presenting of same.
This, then, refers to a condition that has been presented, in
the way and manner of a coalition of efforts, as respecting
the turn in some stock, and had this been carried out, in
the way and manner as first presented, would have been
better; yet IN the way, in the change that has been made,
this does not appear (as is seen by the Uncle) to have been
correct; yet we find these conditions, in the change as will
occur about the 18th, to clarify the conditions. This, as
we see, refers to - 128 - Hudson Motors again.
We are through.
1 [GD's note: In Mr. [
900]'s late fifties, possibly a yr. or
two before his death at 59 yrs. of age, I saw him in the
grocery one day and noticed that he had a small, horn-like
growth on his temple, near his forehead. It was prominent
enough to be seen several feet away.]
