You will also have before you the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you, and you will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained from each of these, as I read them to you, and will answer the questions I ask you regarding same. You will correlate all this information in such a way and manner as to help and encourage this entity, [900], to successfully carry on and apply that which has been given him to do.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had before.
3. The information as has been given regarding the associations, the work, and that as may be accomplished by the body, and the mind of [900], is given that the body may know there are those things, conditions, to be met, and those things to be accomplished, as has been outlined for this body. These - as has been given - are to bring much understanding to those who may take that given and, applying same in the life, come to the better understanding of the relation of man to those Creative Forces as are set in the world, and as are being accomplished through and by those who draw nigh unto Him.
4. Ready for dreams.
5. (Q) Sometime ago. I beheld beautiful figures of girls and myself on a staircase. They said to me: "You are fortunate indeed, for you have been Chosen."
   (A) This, as has been understood by this entity, is that of the work that is to be accomplished by this body, in the beauty, in the strength, in those various phases of the endeavor - the entity chosen as the light bearer that may bring much joy, peace and understanding, to many, see?
6. (Q) Voice or Interviewer: "You will be the greatest philossopher that has walked the face of the earth."
   (A) Only again the verifications of that labor that the entity shall put in the mental forces of self in gaining that understanding, and in the manner so give the lessons and the philosophies to the peoples who await this message, see?
7. (Q) Morning of May 17, 1927. Regarding being beaten for selling stock market short and also the boiling pot that settled down to a quiet stage.
   (A) This is as that condition that may arise to the body for the lack of study as concerning stocks; for again there comes the settling, and the entity should not be short at the present time, see? for while the irregularities are in evidence, yet, as given, the entity should study, and only use that as is received through self and, and applying same, gain the better position in this relation.
8. (Q) Does this relate entirely to conditions now past?
   (A) Not wholly. As given. As past, present, and future.
9. (Q) Morning of May 19, 1927. Dreamed that I was awake looking at Norfolk & Western R.R. map. It changed to become Rock Island R.R., with some connection or bearing on San Francisco R.R. I remarked to myself that I had or was getting this while awake, rather than asleep.
   (A) Gain only those conditions in the way as may come to the entity, or body, in the manner in which the entity may apply same concerning any of these stocks, whether by voice, impression, flash, dash, dots, or movements, that may indicate. Gain those for self through those channels that are opened when self is applied in the correct direction; that is, as the entity would use or apply self in that of the channel that would gain access to the Universal know- ledge, or force, the entity may attain to same, and through same, applying self, gain that desired, see?
10. (Q) Indication that our purchase of San Francisco Rail stock was too soon and that we should wait to get it from the source first?
    (A) We do not find it too soon; for we will find these rather as has been indicated to the entity, and as the entity gains in the various ways and manners, apply same AS IT (the information) IS given, see? and when given, apply; and when applying, APPLY, rather than waiting, or as pondering; unless there is the pondering or study period given.
11. (Q) Is it advisable that we sell our present holdings of Frisco?
    (A) We do not find it so.
12. (Q) An interview in which I was told that something was taking place or would take place in Steel, that would lead to a two year bear or liquidating market, in which U.S. Steel would go up only 5 points at the end of or during the course of 2 years.
    (A) In this as is seen, and in the manner in which it is presented, the entity is to gain information, knowledge, and understanding, through these same sources from which the interview here is represented, from time to time, as connecting these conditions, for two (2) years; and unless these are applied by the entity during and through that period, these will not be repeated until the five (5) point; or five (5) year lapse, see?
13. (Q) Does this mean that this 2 year down market is to begin now - or soon, or when, if at all?
    (A) Rather like that as given, that for the two (2) years there shall be given this understanding, and only in applying may the entity retain same; else there will be sought for five (5) without finding, see?
14. (Q) "Baldwin Locomotive Stock 143."
    (A) As is indicated by the figures, one, four, three - eight; or, as is seen in the issues as respecting same, the entity, the body, should study this particular stock as in reference to the general market, as has been given. Be not unmindful of all information as has been given respecting stocks, and that as is to act as the criterion for the periods of the changes as has been seen from time to time; applying that as has been given, and through application gain the better knowledge of conditions.
15. We are through.
