(Q) Then my father and I came to a place for lunch. We were
out on business. I seemed to talk much to some in the hotel
and felt my father's disapproval at my not tending to
business - that is, I feared he would not approve. I
finally went out and looked for him in auto, but saw no one.
Finally I saw [
137] in car and I got in beside him. "Where
is Dad?" I asked. [
137] did not answer. "Tending to
business, I suppose," I answered myself. [
137] drove on to
meet him, going over perilously to edge of road. [
137]
said: "You are not at all like other men. You are
different entirely. I don't like your way - I want to be
like other men." I felt what he meant. I didn't swear or
carry other men's swagger like air. "That is up to you,
[
137]," I replied, hurt. As I spoke I made a mark on the
earth with my cane. We spoke little to each other. Finally
[
137] broke and leaned on my arm. We both cried with our
arms about each other. I said: "Why [
137], next to Ma and
[
136], I love you best of all. I always have."
(A) In this there is seen much for the body's study and
understanding, and this is given that the body may study
same for its own conception and application as regarding the
various conditions, for there are seen the elements of the
material mindedness, even in self, or the variation of same
in the mind of another, even though near and dear to the
body. These may, however, cause that banishment from self
of that guard concerning thy faltering ways, as may appear
from time to time.
The motor and the going representing again material
conditions, regarding motors, and the entity having seen
this takes advantage of same. Then the entity, and the
body, may expect that of the perilous conditions, yet there
will be - with the application of self - that of the manner
given through these sources for the correct handling of
same.
Again there is seen that there should not be allowed any
element to enter in that would deter the body from making
those applications that the body may concerning the work in
hand and to be accomplished through the application of self
in all thy steps, see?
Study, then, these, as the outline, and apply same in thine
DAILY life, even regarding friend and foe, and even those of
thine own house. See?
(Q) What is here indicated regarding our present and future
relations?
(A) As given - study, study, thine own self, and through
same the greater conditions are gained; for when faults of
any nature arise, set the greater store on thine own
application, rather than on the faults, or the
mis-application of others. See?
(Q) My dear mother[-in-law], [
139], appeared, but how she
appeared! There was nothing indefinite about it. She came
in and swept all before her as tho she wanted to get to me
sure and true. Her features were very pronounced and I saw
her in greater detail than I can even now imagine her. Her
usual twinkle that she has for me was not there. Her
expression was serious. She wore glasses. She said to me
sternly, just two words, or I can only remember two. They
were: "Such company!"
(A) In this there is seen the warning to the body as
regarding those relations as would bring the mis-application
of the lessons gained, and the warning is given that the body
may be on guard, and applying as the body should those truths
gained. Not as an individual, or as specific ones; yet as a
general whole of the body's surroundings in various spheres,
and the entity gains that of the concept that there are then
specific individuals with whom the body should associate to
gain the better knowledge. THIS ALSO, as seen, has been
given, and the body finds that with these surroundings as
the portion of the mental consciousness, these have been felt
also. See?
(Q) Meaning my companionship to [
136] - or what?
(A) To others, and that as of which the entity or body
should seek, see?
(Q) U.S. Steel (when issued stock) 144.
(A) This we don't get as applying to any of the conditions
eminent in the body's association at present. These may be
presented again.
(Q) Something regarding Chrysler Motors that I can't
recall. This has been one of the most peculiar actors
on the list in this strong market.
(A) Now, until the general break that has been pushed aside,
a strong stock, a stock wherein much more activity may be
seen in the near future.
We are through with this reading.
