[... 5 paragraphs ...]

Now. Let us wait a moment until I get our friend here somewhat settled down. (Meaning Jane.)

[... 1 paragraph ...]

Now I give you my greetings, Philip, and I have been here and given them to you mentally. Give us a moment. (Pause.)

[... 1 paragraph ...]

The third man will fall off the triangle. He will lose his position as far as bargaining power is concerned, or he will let it go. But for some reason he will lose within the organization what strength he now has.

[... 1 paragraph ...]

This is the man who is now in the weaker position. He will lose even that strength that he now has. He will seem to dangle for a while, but his hold will lessen.

[... 1 paragraph ...]

Now I have seen, and see, the image of the triangle, and have presumed Philip that you were one of the men involved. These three men however may instead be closely connected with your own prospects, but if so the position of the third man, given up to now as you, is as I have given it; and if he is not you then his position parallels your own strongly.

The two stronger men now at two points of the triangle will overpower the strength of the man who has been at the main position. I have been seeing the triangle with the man with the strongest position at the top or apex. Now the triangle turns and the man at the apex is brought lower.

[... 2 paragraphs ...]

One is a Presbyterian or an Episcopalian, and the weak man either has no particular religion or no strong questions or doubts regarding existence. He swings as the wind blows. Beneath this imaginary triangle however there are other movements. Now I have the letters R and J. Whether these are initials of one man, or the first letters of two men’s names, I do not know.

There is a change of territory involved here, but more than this a change of method. The change of method involves argument over basic philosophies. These men now below the main structure, attempt to influence those of whom I have spoken, but here we have a wheel rather than a pyramid or triangle, for there is little agreement even among those directly involved.

All probabilities taken into consideration, it seems now that the man at the apex of the triangle will topple, but if so he will not understand why. There is a man in your own acquaintance who will be somewhat instrumental, and yet you do not regard him as a close friend, and to some extent you distrust him. Again, do not jump the gun, you are not sure whose hand may be on the trigger.

Your own advantage will come when the weak man falls off, for another will match you in strength, and together you will change the balance. The man you have been thinking of this evening will not betray you. He may forget you. Your position within the company will be assured, and has been, as long as you continue your bulldog tactics. You aggravate them, and yet you make them think. They dislike you for the aggravation, but they admire you because you make them think, and they now are beginning to believe that your thoughts can save them money and time.

[... 1 paragraph ...]

This is Ruburt’s interpretation of a crook. But the point is that you are not paying enough attention to this type of man. He is physically short, and I believe either dark-haired now, or he was dark-haired. He is separated from you by two positions, and he knows your messenger.

[... 2 paragraphs ...]

Now you may take your break and we shall continue.

[... 2 paragraphs ...]

(John said he couldn’t give comments on tonight’s data, that it depended upon whether he was in the triangle. At first he saw no connections. I am not trying to give an account of the long and complicated discussion that now took place between the three of us, as John discussed his company, Searle, and its internal politics.

[... 5 paragraphs ...]

Now. You will end up if you persist, and I imagine you will persist, first in either a position as fourth man down from the top, or in four positions up from where you are.

[... 1 paragraph ...]

Now, give us good time here. There are two triangles which have merged into one, for one is involved with the present, and one with the future. The present triangle concerns the interpretation which you have made, and your immediate superior is the man who falls.

But there is also another triangle, and this is the meaning of the symbol. I am seeing movement and shifts of power. In your present there is the immediate triangle of which I have spoken. In your present there is also a triangle symbolizing those now at the top of the structure, and there is movement there also, and a man will fall. But both of these triangles lead to a future triangle in which you will be intimately involved if you continue your bulldog tactics.

Now this is sometime in the future and you will jockey from fourth to third position in the higher echelons of the company. I see you again at the right leg of the triangle, and again the man at the left leg will fall.

[... 15 paragraphs ...]

Now I suggest your break and we shall continue. You should have joined a monastery. You have a need for fiery commitment—

[... 8 paragraphs ...]

Now. Now is the time to learn what your strength is. It is not the time to move.

When the triangle is changed, when the weak man falls and the stronger man comes, then is the time to move. (Jane pointed to John for emphasis.) Now this is your game. You will be changing the rules, but you had better be sure that you play the game for all that it is worth, and use your best abilities, for it is your vehicle for self-expression and creativity.

[... 1 paragraph ...]

Now. Directed correctly, this company can become far more than it has been. It can highly benefit mankind through new developments, if these developments in the future are not quenched, and if the administration is forward looking, if it looks for new products and new services that it can fill. Drugs will play no small role within the next fifty years, but those who will progress will be daring. Daring both in the choice of men, those who will represent the company to the public, and in the choice of men who will develop products, and this is an area with which you should become more familiar, for it is this upon which the company depends.

[... 4 paragraphs ...]

There are three discoveries that should take place now, within a three-year period, and if your company does not latch ahold of them, others will.

[... 3 paragraphs ...]

You should be close to this sort of thing. You should pay more attention to the basis on which the company ultimately rests, or the company will be outstripped. Your judgment of people will stand you in good stead here, but you must join all your forces and tell yourself that you have made up your mind, for this is your one chance now, as you have lived your life, to shape a strong area of reality.

[... 2 paragraphs ...]

Now you may take a break as you prefer, and let our good King Philip rest. Your energies as a man are poured into this company however, and even as ahuman being, alone, you seek to form it. Then do so in your own way. In the overall your wife will be of more benefit to you than you suppose.

[... 1 paragraph ...]

Now my friend Ruburt will not like this, and will object on general principles, but I am speaking on personalities and not necessarily on sexes. Your wife will feel insecure only when she feels that your own confidence is threatened. When you cease giving orders she will feel insecure. For entirely different purposes, you see, you will be both committed to the same projects.

[... 10 paragraphs ...]

Now you must be on your toes then, and you will be if you do not move ahead of time. For to do so would put you in an unfortunate line of competition for the vacant spot (on the triangle). It will be yours by right when you take it, while others are bickering, and you will be beyond it before they have ceased bickering.

Now there is a man in his 50’s now, above you in position, whom you must watch. Nondescript hair, not slim nor overly porky, with fat fingers, fat wrists with perhaps hair there—a whitish hand, or rather whitish hands. Smooth hands.

[... 3 paragraphs ...]

Now, I am prepared to go on, Joseph, but suggest that if necessary you help Ruburt out of the trance state. My heartiest wishes to you all, and best good luck to our friend Philip in his most earnest endeavors.

[... 4 paragraphs ...]
