(Q) Sunday night, June 13, or Monday morning, June 14, 1926.
I seemed to be in a hotel or some building and left my mother
to go downstairs to call up Cayce regarding a stock dream
and interpretation by reading. I took the elevator down,
and noticed that it was a local elevator, stopping at each
floor to see if anyone wanted to board. Not any did and
the elevator finally reached the main floor. I went to the
switchboard operator and put in my call for Virginia Beach
220 and then while waiting decided to go into the basement,
where a pool was located, and take a swim. It seemed early
morning and I had descended in my bathrobe. I jumped in the
pool and swam around, noticing a policeman also in with me
and others. Turning to the officer, I said, "It's fine -
this water and this exercise." He assented that it was.
Then I thought of my call to Virginia Beach and jumped out,
for it was time, and in getting out squeezed my way through
a narrow place. I barely got through and the policeman
watched me. On my way to the switchboard someone passed
me and told me long distance was waiting for me. I started
to run for the phone and ran peculiarly and with a great
burst of speed. When I reached the phone I found it was
not my call at all but one for someone else. The telephone
operator told me that the call probably came in and I was
away but to ask "Special Operator" about it. I put the
switchboard plug in the hole marked "Special Operator" and
she answered, but knew little of my call to Virginia Beach.
It was probably lost. Discouraged, I decided to be on my way
- or put the call in again from some other place.
(A) In this there is presented through this many changes
in the spiritual aspects, and the body conscious and the
material mind, or the subconscious, the material conscious,
and the physical consciousness of the individual, is shown,
as it were, back and forth, back and forth, reasoning with
self, as it were, through the vision of conditions as exist,
or as apparent in the entity's inner or whole consciousness,
as respecting the intent and purpose of the entity in the
call, as respecting conditions at present relative to the
stock market, for, as is seen in the call, the attempt of
the entity to call, is that as there has already been given
information as respecting the rise, the fall, the changes
as were in a perspective manner given for the entity's
edification through study - that is, there was given the
changes that would come through the month of May, through
the changes as would appear through the month of June, with
the various rises and falls as would be seen, and the
inability of the entity to get the call in quick, as it
were, slowness of descent, the turning away to do something
else, the remembering again of the call, the seeing of the
officer (as is of necessity the condition as is presented
within the mind itself) and of the squeezing through, all
represents conditions through which the mind has passed,
as respecting these various things, see? Or, as is seen
then in the continuation of this same dream, [See Par. 4-A
& 5-A below] in going into such place where the entity is to
see some individual, and hindered from calling the one, as
is apparent by the conditions and circumstances, by the not
understanding of why the entity had not been called when
such conditions had arisen, through some social function,
social position, all show this same operation, WHEREIN,
were the entity to apply the body consciousness, the mental
consciousness, already gained, WITH the information already
obtained, there would be seen that these would apply in the
present circumstances and conditions, and give the entity,
as it were, that foreknowledge of conditions as were to
exist. That is, as is seen, there has been given Steel to
be the criterion as regarding industrial stocks, Oils as
regarding that lowness of industrial stocks. As is seen,
at the present time Steel on the descent, while Oils on the
advance. Hence there may be expected very soon a
considerable change in the market both ways - the sudden
rise, the sudden fall, see?
These, then, are as presenting to the entity that necessity
of the mental consciousness gaining a greater perceptive
of information already attained to apply under present
circumstances and conditions.
(Q) I was hurrying back to the switchboard, or to some
other place, to telephone Cayce - I just had to get that
stock dream interpretation,
(A) (Interrupting) This already in hand, as is seen, and
that as is necessary for the entity to gain the full concept
of the information already in hand, that it may be applied
under this crisis, or this condition as is arising now in
the physical affairs and mental conditions of the entity.
(Q) (Continuing) and on my way passed Louis Schoolhouse.
We were on a golf course and I noticed the barriers, bunkers
and sand pits. "This is the chance to get out," said Louis,
meaning out of stocks. "Are you getting out? It is the
chance." I noticed a tall building with many windows and
wondered if the market would not go higher on this move.
Louis looked at me in disgust and said: "Those that have
not GOT should not take on or PUT ON." (I suppose take on
means buy stock and put on means "airs".) I felt abashed
and rebuked, and went uncertainly on my way.
(A) Still this same presentation of these conditions as
have been shown here, of how the entity should study that
already in hand as regarding these conditions that are
arising at the present time.
That is all.
We are through for the present.
