(Q) Tuesday Night, June 29, or Wednesday Morning, June 30,
1926. My mother called me up suddenly and surprised me by
telling me that she had gone to Atlantic City and when I
questioned suspiciously she answered evasively. Then I put
the question bluntly. "Are you married?" "Will be
tonight," she replied. "That is when the wedding is to
take place." I felt bad about that and replied to her, "I
hope you are taking the right step." Then something
inspired me to be more generous, kinder, and I wished her
well, hoping for her happiness. Then I awakened and thought
over the dream, and going to sleep again dreamed as follows:
I was away on business for Alexander New somewheres,
seemingly Cleveland, Ohio, or Pittsburgh, Pa. My mother had
just called me up regarding her marriage in Atlantic City.
I stood at what appeared as many railroad tracks and noticed
how little traffic ran by. It was quiet - very still - no
trains. Thus I stood, motionless, contemplating
introspecively and objectively the inactivity. Finally I
decided that I should like to go home this very night. The
train I found (on this R.R.) left at 5:10 P.M. I would have
to hurry and pack, but I wanted to see if a better train on
another R.R. did not run to N.Y. City. I walked quickly up
a cobble stoned street and noticed red colored cars crossing
overhead and Chesapeake & Ohio R.R. written thereon. I
entered a R.R. station and enquired of a lady ticket seller
for the best train. "All the same," she replied. "They all
leave about 5:10 in the evening and get into N.Y. in the
morning." "But some are better than others, aren't they?" I
queried. "You get into a pullman in the evening and in the
morning get out. Nothing to see - all the same," she said.
"Well, there is the New York Central R.R. - its good, but
takes me up town N.Y. - too far away from my business. Is
that Chesapeake and Ohio train good?" "All good - all the
same," she repeated. Yet I felt I enjoyed traveling on some
trains better than others, so I raced back down the cobbled
stone hill to the first station. As I ran I thought of many
things. The New York Central train came from Anderson, Ind.
- i.e. the Big Four R.R. and thence into New York. The
Chesapeake & Ohio had to make other connections, east into
N.Y. and west into other cities. I finally got back to the
original R.R. station and dashing in asked "Is this the N.Y.
Central R.R.?" It seemed a dingy little room. "No," a man
replied. "It is the Pere Marquette R.R." "O," I replied
and asked, "What time does the train leave for N.Y.?"
"5:10" came the answer. Then I noticed trunks being handled
and more preparation being made for the N.Y. evening train.
It then seemed I was living at Jacobs house in Pittsburgh
again and I wondered if I had time to pack and make that
train. It was now late, 4:00 o'clock, leaving me little
over an hour. Also I wasn't sure in my own mind if I wanted
to make this night's train. To take it would bring me home
on a Sunday and as it seemed [
136] was to stay behind, I
would be left lonesome and with nothing to do all day
Sunday. Maybe I could wait until morning - take a day
train, if there was one. Yet I wanted to go this evening,
but didn't know. My mother was now married and thus I
couldn't depend on her, and I thought how many lonesome
Sundays she must have spent and looked forward to, and was
happy I had changed to become more encouraging and kinder,
more generous in my attitude towards her marriage. Then I
awakened and was glad to see [
136].
(A) In this there are presented, as we see, many various
phases of those conditions that have been eminent in the mind
of the entity as regarding changed relations as might take
place, as regarding the mother, the self, and the various
conditions as would enter therein. There is also
intermingled with same, as is seen, those studies, those
conditions as regarding the conditions on stock exchange, or
through the various changes as are to take place as regarding
the rail stocks, for, as is seen, the attempt to return to
the city, all being the same, all leaving the same time, all
the same character of routes, yet, as seen, some special
stocks, or some special names, some high, some low or mean;
this represents the variation as is to take place before the
general decline. As is seen of 5:10 - 5 - 10 - 15 - 6 points
change in the general rails, as are seen. C & O advancing,
then declining, the full 6 points. As is also seen in New
York Central and Pere Marquette - all showing the decline.
This same again changed or intermingled with those conditions
as shown as respecting the relations with another, and the
attitude the entity, personally, should take as regarding ALL
conditions, whether market, whether filial relations, or the
social relations, or the family relations, each showing that
the attitude of self making that position in which the entity
gains the greater consolation, and the greater conditions for
advancement, satisfaction, in self. See? This, then, as the
lesson of the general status of the mental relations of the
self to the various conditions through which the entity is
passing at the present time in the mental consciousness of
the various changing conditions as respecting all relations
in the entity's physical experience at the present time, with
that conditions as to how the entity is to make, as it were,
the best of existent conditions. This then as the experience
for the entity for the study and for the application of same,
through those lessons the entity would give to others, for in
the application of those things as in self is seen how each
may be applied to the other fellow.
(Q) Two distinct phases seem here to be taken up. 1. Rail
investments or speculations. 2. Domestic conditions. As
regarding the first, two centers of R.R. combinations seem
indicated. 1. Chesapeake & Ohio with Pere Marquette and
some other road. 2. N.Y. Central and its subsidiaries with
others. Is anything further indicated in time as to being
too late, etc?
(A) Only that as is given, as is the indication that two
phases, as has been explained - that which represents the
variation in the prices in the stocks of these various
railroads, also those conditions as are seen as toward
domestic relations, and these all are experiences for the
entity for the study of same, and the application in the
life of self, also as to how these may apply in the lives of
others, and, as one may be applied in the life for those of
the advancement of the conditions as respecting financial,
the same may be as seen in the application of same as
regarding the domestic relations and their relation as
regarding a mental condition between self and others.
(Q) Is anything indicated as regards the stocks and stock
prices of these rails?
(A) As given.
(Q) Pere Marquette has been very active, although quiet
lately (at time of this writing). Is it indicated that this
stock and C & O, merging, will become, both of them, very
active and go much higher in price? Any time indicated?
(A) That condition as has been given, with the 6 points
decline, with the C & O as the criterion of the condition,
with its advance and then the decline.
(Q) As regards domestic problem - is it indicated that a
happier condition would exist for all if my mother took her
opportunity and married?
(A) This has been given before, and as is seen here is as an
experience for the entity for the study of those conditions
which may exist.
(Q) That I should foster and encourage this procedure,
rather than be a stumbling block towards its consummation?
(A) Rather that the entity should act in that position as
is seen in this, as indicated, for, as has been given, this
is as the various consciousness of the entity taking into
consideration those conditions as have been studied by the
entity through the mental and through the body conscious and
subconscious forces. These all correlated to-gether and
shown to the entity as that of the best position for the
entity in this relation, as in all others, as respecting
any and every lesson, or any and every condition in life.
Never be the stumbling block in anyone's advancement!
(Q) When will it take place?
(A) This has not been decided as yet.
(Q) How may I better act in this matter, from the standpoint
of generosity, kindness, and for the best interest of all?
(A) This is as has been presented, and as IS presented to
the entity in the position, and, as is seen, that as is felt
in the inmost being of the entity at the stand the entity
takes as regarding same, both in the waking consciousness
and as that as is experienced in the subconscious forces,
at arriving at a certain conclusion in the various studies
of the condition.
That is all the questions.
