TEXT

1. [900]: Now you will have before you the body of [900], present in this room. You will give this body information and guidance regarding financial and business affairs, in conjunction with dreams or visions - or introspective experiences that this body, I, [900], have had; guidance that has already been given - you will interpret this guidance and make it clear to me - that which was meant - that my intellect may understand the better. You will answer the questions that I may ask.
2. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, [900] - this we have had before.
3. In the various introspective experiences of the body there comes much that has to do with those interests of the body in the financial way and manner. These, as have been given, are given as directing influences in the life, and interpreted - used and guided by same - bring conditions in so far as the experience of the personality, or preferably individuality of the individual so guiding and directing is capable or has attained that understanding of the at-oneness of all those elements going to make up the whole. As has been given, the entity peculiarly adapted, and adapts self as a medium or channel through which the various experiences may come, and in the application of same gains the understanding and the ability to further apply self in development of self in the ways as are pointed out in each experience. These, as seen, come from various spheres of experience, and when the attunement is along certain lines - just as self puts self or guides self - these, those individuals, may attune self to that as is pointed out. Just as may be illustrated in that those of like nature are attracted one to another, or as of a magnetic nature is attracted by the elements as constitute or make those same conditions.
4. In that as has been given respecting rail - these come direct from varied individual experiences, even as has been given by those so interested in these affairs in the material plane. In the astral, cosmic or changed sphere, those same conditions are ever present until an entity or individual finally builds into self's own individuality that of a different or a changed element; for life in its oneness is the continual growth - whether in the material, astral, or spiritual realm. Use, apply same in the various spheres. Ready for experiences. Even as has been seen respecting rails, in lines as were interesting to DePew - these directed same in that connected with the Central, Pennsylvania and Wabash lines. As has been given, and so these will continue to be in the forefront of movement until there is the determined factor of the connections being complete for the combinations as have been set up. The variations being, as given, those varying reports as respecting the change or chances of various ones of commission or other factors preventing or granting such combines.
5. In those as have been seen more recently respecting the meeting of individual in that of Gary [Elbert H. Gary], we find that more direct, more decisive action respecting the various change in being in activity accorded by the change in chairmanship of various boards, whether pertaining to shipping, to banking, to the various classifications of those in the various changes that have and are occurring in these. This has specially had reference to Delaware Hudson, Lackawanna and Erie lines. THESE show that the change in chairmanships have had the greater effect upon those interested in combinations. Combinations will continue, then, to be the main factor in the changes occurring in such elements, save - as has been presented - that changes relative to re-discounts and to be called money has only a temporary change; for moneys - until after the June conventions - will continue to be higher rate; changing in the various Federal conditions or boards.
6. (Q) Well, what does Gary advise regarding purchases of the stocks he has advised - rails and industrials; for he gave me Sears Roebuck, Wright Airplane, Manufacturing Trust, Chatham & Phoenix - any one of which good buying stocks - had I played them right. Now what do you think of it?
   (A) That as directed, [900], was as those given - for in the changes, while these showed some offsets in various tradings; yet these are still to go even higher for the next fifteen days. Use it.
7. (Q) Now, in concentrating upon Wright airplane - would you advise me to concentrate on this stock in the first place?
   (A) Too much change here for too much concentration on the one individual; though we will find a continual broad change, ranging from six to sixteen points.
8. (Q) What would you advise me to stick to for trading purposes, then?
   (A) Rails and those of industrials. Gimbel, Macy, Sears Roebuck, Woolworth. In rails, Delaware Hudson - Pennsylvania - these are all still worth concentrating upon, and I will guide you. I am through for the day. [Elbert H. Gary]
9. (Q) Regarding the internal condition of my business affairs - pretty bad right now, though I have been blessed with guidance that has helped. In the first place this man Schwartz, had I better replace him rather than lay awake nights worrying?
   (A) Better replace than lay awake nights worrying. Better, however, that that as has been GIVEN be minded; that the conscience or self may be at peace with self; for one may stumble without falling; one brother aided has given one a great lead with those who would be guided by correct influence within and without. True has it been said, he that saves a brother from perdition has laid up for self a crown of righteousness. Better that self be at peace with self, than to gain money - crowns in money - that are worthless, with that continual feeling that the opportunity was not given when opportunity presented self to self with the inner knowledge of the workings of a brother's mind. Every man is thy brother.
10. (Q) I understand. Regarding [302] - I visioned her being taking away, or taken with Meyer Half, Jack Moose and another man. She had a black smudge upon her face. I directed them to get out of the office. They went out and came back - back mockingly, and I called Mr. Maloney to help put them out of the office - but he didn't answer.
    (A) There is still here the the indications of those who would undermine the body and mind of [900] as respecting the activities of [302]; yet there is seen there is yet to be a "huer de coup" (?) as respecting the activities of [302]; for there will come a special opportunity - of which she will not lose the chance. With this there comes that condition wherein there will not be the necessity of these continuations of the sneer, jeer, or uncomely attitudes of many.
11. (Q) What does this mean in my relationship to [302] in business?
    (A) Let it remain as at present.
12. (Q) Will she leave, or desire to leave?
    (A) No.
13. (Q) Of late certain complications have arisen, as seen in the Ungerleider affair. How should I handle [302] in the present attitude of mind and under present conditions?
    (A) Just that same reason as has been given respecting each of these conditions that enter; that is, the individual [302] not unreasonable. The elements that have brought about those such as with the Ungerleider affair, is of conversation from others who have brought about the condition of doubting within self the ability to understand the elements that go to make UP such relationships, see?
14. (Q) With respect to Warner, what do you think this will mean to us? He demands much, and as yet has certainly caused me considerable strain and worry, as you see.
    (A) Not so well here. These are not satisfactory conditions at all, and bring to the body much worry. Thy father has given thee directions concerning Warner. Why not heed THOSE?
15. (Q) Will my father remind me of these?
    (A) To-morrow eve.
16. (Q) Now, with respect - while we have not [137] here - he is an integral portion of the business and we are one in same. He visioned Ben Block. Has this anything to do with our business or any correlation with that I saw?
    (A) No correlation with that as "I saw." Only in that sense that there will be more satisfactory conditions brought about by the conditions as seen with Block; better understandings; better relations - though SEEM not so good.
17. (Q) Would you advise our taking over our own customers or opening our own office?
    (A) Not just as yet. Wait until after October.
18. (Q) Now we were given Reading and Central Railroad of N.J.
    (A) As has been given here, these two would fall in either DePew's or Gary's groups. This correct; yet those GUIDING same WILL bring from both of these that directing influence, when concentrated on same.
19. (Q) That is, we had better not buy either of these until instructed to do so?
    (A) Either by DePew or Gary.
20. (Q) Now regarding Canadian Pacific and Missouri Pacific, both of which I have had in vision. What -
    (A) Both going up.
21. (Q) Now Lehigh Valley - that I have been given, however, from another source -
    (A) Watch that. Not so good yet. Time will come when you will be directed to act as respecting this, for the change in this group isn't at its height as yet; for it will be taken in combination with others, and when it acts will act fast - and when it falls will fall faster.
22. (Q) Wabash Railroad is one I have seen several times. Does it mean even now that it should be held at 91 or 92?
    (A) Held.
23. (Q) Regarding the Erie that I saw in a circle?
    (A) Also in that of the advance. We are through for the present.
