(Q) Last night. I was in conversation, and I was told, "The
business earnings and business in general is good, in spite
of the funny situation. As specific instances, the
developments on Capitol Hill," and then I saw our Capitol
account as figured by the accountant, and I said, "He
figures it that way, but it isn't really there," meaning
that it was more of a bookkeeping entry than an actuality.
Then a conversation with Howard Block regarding buying
bargain in Hardware.
(A) This, as seen, emblematical to the body, and, as is
understood, refers to the general conditions in business,
especially as related to the capital and investments as are
general in price quotations at the present time, showing to
the entity at this present position, as to how many of the
so-called popular stocks are in THIS position, that the
capital invested, and that as is shown by the actual returns
and price of stock, are as entries. While they present
actual conditions, yet the ACTUALITY of conditions are much
different. While this, as seen, may be considered as not
logical, or good business, yet, as is seen by the
conversation, that there are many bargains in the various
commodities that may be had during these changing periods;
for each and every condition is presented in that as seen in
the present situation, and as the body is cognizant of being
in the position of seeing, knowing the actuality and the
relative price, the relative conditions, then will the body
- as is shown in the other dreams and experiences - but
correlate same from time to time, there may come a change
and a great difference in the outcome of conditions. Ready
for questions.
(Q) Another dream, recently, in relationship to
Sears-Roebuck, regarding push ball being shoved diagonally
across the field, yet finally and gradually reaching the
goal.
(A) This that as has been given as respecting the advance of
this particular stock, and these, as we find, will continue
to advance in this irregular fashion until the goal is
reached. In this particular situation, [
900], there is, as
has been presented to the body, a DIFFERENT SITUATION from
that as of a GENERAL condition in the market; for in the
change of the personnel and the handling of this particular
expansion (Sears-Roebuck) there is the evidence of a real
growth, and while other conditions that are adverse to this
particular interest are active, yet these are showing the
real returns, and must show same on paper as well, that the
expansions as are contemplated by the conductors of same may
be accomplished. Then, as there is given the various changes
from period to period, follow them. These will advance
still, yet from the present we would say wait for the next
decline, would the better returns be made; for these will
come as the days advance, until the goal is reached. Yet
they present, even at the 162 & 3/8, as at present, a profit.
(Q) In the light of the experience had last night, what is
indicated regarding my development, as respecting my return?
Is there an indication that it will be necessary for me to
return? or just what is indicated by it?
(A) As given, rather as an illustration of that as has been
given respecting the general conditions and the reaction of
an individual as respecting same. As to how retarded
development for an individual entity is accomplished in the
various forms, even as an individual may - through the
variation of self's own appreciation or understanding of self
- gain or lose, in just the same manner as represented in
figures, or as represented in stock quotations. The self
used as the example of the understanding of that given as
respecting GENERAL conditions.
(Q) You would advise waiting a few days before re-buying
Sears-Roebuck?
(A) Just as given. WE would give, advise waiting for a
lower price, yet this at the PRESENT quotation is a buy. Use
own self's judgement as respecting same, but be prepared - if
this were taken at the present - to have to margin.
(Q) Is Kennecot Copper a good short sale?
(A) We haven't any copper!
(Q) Any further advice for [
900]?
(A) Much may be said as respecting the varied conditions as
are presented to the body in the visions seen, yet, as given,
each must make the application for self, to gain the better
understanding and the real results of same. We are through
for the present.
