There i s a scientif ic bas i s fo r the or ien ta l t heo ry of re incarnat ion but not

for the occidental idea .

Imaginative cul t is t th inker s have c rea t ed many s t range and fantast ic f o r m s

which s t i l l live high up above the e a r t h in ghostly bodies which some ca l l

"as t ra l l ' , o r sp i r i tua l1 ' , o r "protoplasmic" bodies .

Fami l i a r i t y with bodies demands that t hese imagined f o r m s r e semble

human bodies except f o r t he i r lack of solidity. Hence these a s t r a l bodies have

a r m s , l egs , head and f ea tu re s like humans, only m o r e e ther ia l .

There a r e many who believe that the sp i r i tua l bodies can be summoned to

e a r t h by a "medium" to ta lk t o loved ones. Such bodies a r e said to appear

fully clothed, with ha i r nicely combed a s l a s t s een fo r ty y e a r s ago, who then

engage in conversation regard ing t r i f les of no impor t . It i s s t r ange that such

be l ievers do not think through to the root of things, -

Of what u se i s a body, which i s designed f o r a n environment of ear th , in

a n environment where i t s body has no possibi l i ty of u s e ? God's c rea t ions a r e - purposeful , and God f i t s H i s c rea t ions to envi ronments where they can mani-

fe s t purposefulness.

How ludicrous and i l logical i t i s to think of 'hair , f ingernai ls , teeth , bones

and flesh of even e ther ia l bodies growing for cen tu r i e s in an environment

where they would be of no purpose whatsoever , No bodies of any na ture could

be static. They would e i ther have to grow o r decay, fo r a l l bodies a r e m a t e r -

i a l , whether I1etherial" or otherwise .

How ludicrous a l so i t i s to think of clothing remaining unchanged for indef -

inite per iods , which m u s t be that way when people c l a im that the i r mother

In t he i r e a g e r n e s s to c r e a t e man- l ike a s t r a l bodies they do not think

things through. If they did they would r ea l i ze the absurdi t ies of such unna tu ra l

c onjuring s .

T h e r e a r e m a n y o thers who think of g r e a t humans a s "ascended m a s t e r s " .

T h e s e sp i r i t beings supposedly dwell above the e a r t h and a r e p resumed t o guide

the people of e a r t h .

You should d i s m i s s a l l such thought f r o m your thinking, fo r they a r e but

conjur ings of the s e n s e s - - n o t even of the Mind of man . They a r e not ba sed

upon knowledge. The s enses a lone have conjured them.

It would be a t r ag i c and c r u e l thing if such things were t rue . How m u c h

m o r e beautiful to KNOW that your loved ones m a y be back on ea r th , ins tead of

floating around indefinitely in the sub -ze ro of space , I s i t not m o r e beaut i ful

t o think of your m o t h e r a s being r ebo rn into your own family , which i s quite

pos s ib l e .

So many people think of re joining the i r loved ones a f te r they p a s s on. How

imposs ib l e th i s would be. Suppose your mo the r died when you were a ch i ld ,

and you died a t eighty. How would she know you? Also i f that idea were p o s s i -

ble she would seek h e r own p a r e n t s . who a l s o would have sought t h e i r s f o r

thousands of genera t ions back . You see , t h e r e f o r e , that th i s i s not only i m p o s - -

s ible but i s a m o s t i l logical t heo ry .

real ly go when we d i e ? What real ly happens af ter death of the body? What i s

that interval like between death and r e b i r t h ? I s t he re a heaven? Do we have

some other. kind of body?

The whole idea i s quite s imple when we understand the mechanism of the

making of bodies--and of taking them apar t to remake .

Perhaps a ve ry s imple analogy would help to c lar i fy this idea. We show

you a photograph of your se l f , and ask: "What would you do if we t o r e up this

photograph of you?If

You would answer: "I have the negative and can make another posit ive,

so i t would not m a t t e r .

"How could the negative give you another positive ?I1 we ask.

"1 would project the sunlight through the pat terned negative and the r e v e r s e

of i t would give m e the posit ive pat tern", you would reply.

In principle re incarna t ion i s a s simple a s that, and al l of the above ques-

tions regarding what happens a f te r death can be answered by the s a m e s imple

analogy,

Let u s compare the f ami l i a r principle of photography with the unfamil iar

principle of reincarnation and s e e if one will not help explain the o ther .

Everyone knows that e v e r y posit ive photograph has a negative counter -

par t , Everyone knows, a l so , that the negative i s the r eve r se of the pbsit ive.

Also everyone knows that the pa t te rn of the negative i s reproduced (might we

say l1reincarnated'l) exact ly the same in pa t te rn in the positive a s in the nega-

t ive, except that each i s the r e v e r s e of the other .

EVERY CREATING BODY IS DIVIDED INTO REVERSED OPPOSITES

Do you not s e e polar i ty in t h i s effect? And do you not a l so know that

po la r i ty i s the division of ONE into a seeming TWO r e v e r s e d opposites of

each o ther which s imula te the ONE ? And do you not now thoroughly under s tand

that e v e r y body e v e r c r ea t ed i s polar ized into i t s posi t ive and negative counter -

p a r t s , e a c h being the r e v e r s e d opposite of the o the r ,

Now subst i tu te the human body in place of the photograph of a human body.

Ins tead of dest roying the posi t ive photograph of the human body, leaving only

the negat ive counte rpar t , the human body itself i s "dest royed", I t "d ies" , we

say. At any r a t e i t h a s d i s appea red a s a v i s ib l e , posi t ive body

When we say tha t the negative counte rpar t still. LIVES a s the posi t ive half

wave sense range jus t a s the posi t ive pulsed within i t s shor t wave sense r a n g e .

Moreover i t pu l se s under the conscious cont ro l of i t s conscious cen te r of

Nothing can e v e r happen to tha t - -even though many y e a r s p a s s before i t s

You m u s t l e a r n to think of the negative body a s the thought-body--or - I

thought-body in space a s the r e v e r s e d opposite of yourse l f .

Nowhere in this universe can you get away f r o m that. Mind KNOWS, and

Mind -knowing i s undivided. And Mind THINKS - -and Mind thinking IS divided

into concentration-decentration sequences.

You decentrate to conceive thought-bodies, o r add to them. You then con-

centrate to MULTIPLY thought-bodies into positive, mater ia l body f o r m s .

If the above paragraph s e e m s strange to you i t i s because i t has not yet

been realized that positive m a t e r i a l bodies of white light a r e but MULTIPLIED

thought -bodie s - -and that negative thought-bodie s of black light a r e but divided

material bodies.

TWO -WAY THINKING

Learn to adjust your thinking to the way a pendulum swings--or a s the

piston of an engine a l te rna tes between compression and expansion. When you

concentrate t r y to rea l ize that you a r e but compressing your thoughts, and when

you decentrate t r y to r ea l i ze that you a r e expanding them for the purpose of

adding to your conception.

Famil iar ize your thinking with the law of Nature that everything which

unfolds f rom the seed in the womb of ea r th refolds back into i t s seed fo r reborn-

ing . This fact you MUST rea l i ze , for that is Natureq s bookkeeping sys tem.

That i s the way Nature r e c o r d s every thought and action of all Creat ion.

As the wood, and ba rk , and leaves of a t r e e unfold outwardly f r o m the

sti l lness of i t s seed toward the heavens, it simultaneously refolds inwardly

towards i t s c-entral seed. In the SEED i s the eternally living SOUL of the

IDEA which the body but manifes ts . The seed i s an u l t ra microscopic focal

mi l l ions of m i l e s f o r a planet o r sun,

The seed i s the SOUL, It i s des i r e in the Soul for c rea t ive express ion .

It i s the fu l c rum f r o m which the FATHER and MOTHER pr inc ip les of thought -

extend to c r e a t e decent ra ted and concentrated thought bod ie s , which grav i ta te

t o c o m p r e s s thought -bodie s into center ing s p h e r e s of white light, and rad ia te

to expand them in to surrounding cubes of black l ight, It i s through the con-

s tant and EQUAL interchange between gravi ta t ion and radiation that th i s two-

way un ive r se of m a t t e r and motion continues i t s e t e rna l interchange f o r e v e r ,

Grav i ty , in sp i r i tua l language, means the FATHER principle of d e s i r e

in Nature f o r manifesta t ion of idea in mater ' ial f o r m , through concentration of

motion.

Converse ly , radiat ion, in spir i tual language, m e a n s the MOTHER p r i n -

ciple of d e s i r e in Nature to r e c o r d idea in expanded thought -bodies through

decent ra t ion of motion.

B e a r in Mind, however, , that a l l bodies a r e thought-bodie s exp res sed in

r e v e r s e d p a i r s ? one half being concentrated, ( o r compres sed ) into visible

f o r m s , the other half being decentrated, o r expanded, into invisible f o r m s ,

B e a r in Mind a l so that thought -bodies interchange with each other, , each

becoming the o ther a l ternately , a s the pendulum swings to interchange i t s

v i s ib le and invis ible counterpar t s a l ternately .


Also b e a r i n Mind that both halves of thought-bodies a r e moving extensions

of the s t i l l Light of Mind a s both swings of the pendulum a r e moving extensions

of the s t i l l f u l c rum which c e n t e r s them,

The momen t that any foca l point of d e s i r e to c r e a t e a posi t ive body f r o m a

negative pa t t e rn in space "germinates" i n the womb of e a r t h something takes

place which we ca l l "growthw. The m i c r o s c o p i c invis ible point of gravi ty

begins to mult iply i t s body. It "grows11 b igger and bigger .

THE MIRACLE O F GROWTH

Instead of thinking of i t a s something which i s GROWING t r y to imagine

i t a s a posit ive image which i s being photographed into i t s posi t ive f o r m f r o m

the negative f o r m which sur rounds i t ,

Now t r y to think of it. a s a " t ime exposure" . J u s t a s i t t akes t ime to p r o -

ject light through a two dimensiorial negative t o p r in t a posit ive so , l ikewise,

i t takes t ime for light -waves i n space to "grav i ta te" toward the cen t e r of

de s i r e which the seed is.

Consider your own body, for example. It took mil l ions of y e a r s of de s i r e

of your Soul t o build your body, one l i t t le thought a t a t i m e , --one l i t t le de s i r e

a t a t ime. You cannot reproduce it ins tantaneously , i t t akes t i m e .

It takes about f o r t y y e a r s fo r your negat ive body to "printI1a posit ive one,

and another fo r ty y e a r s f o r the positive t o "fade out" into i t s negative.

Light-waves built your body. Long l ight-waves c a m e out f r o m the dark of

your wave-field in space and shortened into s m a l l e r waves a s they built up -

the ma te r i a l s cal led f o r by the negative p a t t e r n of your body which ent i re ly

As you l e a r n to thus expand your thinking include i n your thinking your

knowledge of the mechan ic s of that fo rming body--whether of an apple , violet ,

animal or man . As you S E E things growing bigger and'bigger KNOW that the

AND THE RELATION O F MAN AND WOMAN TO NATURE AND TC EACHOTHER

We have ta lked of many th ings- -many fundamental e lements which cons t i -

tute God ' s c rea t ing un ive r se . The only purpose for writing even one l lne of

these lessons i s t o give m e n and women a g r e a t e r knowledge of:

1, Their own individual Source of power .

2 . Their mutua l Source of power , through men ta l and physical in te rchange ,

o r through the unity of balanced mat ing ,

3 . The way they can individually o r mutual ly multiply the i r power t o

become the Supreme Being whom we a l l man i f e s t on ea r th .

4, The manne r i n which they c a n intensify de s t r e i n themse lves i n o rde r

to multiply the f r u i t s of d e s i r e ,

5 . A workable unders tanding a s to how they can apply th i s knowledge to

build m o r e healthful s t rong bodies under mind control , ins tead of s e n s e control ,

and thus build the human r a c e into m o r e pe r f ec t ins t ruments fo r manifes t ing i t s

C r e a t o r .

We have too long lived i n the da rk of guessing about the fundamentals of

existence, Our l ives have been too experimental because they lacked exact

knowledge upon which to b a s e the decis ions which constitute l ife.

We have lived in an abs t r ac t world of exper imental guessing too long. Our

human rela t ions have been abs t r ac t and experimental , and because of ignorance

of the law which governs t hem we have made a very bad m e s s of our c ivi l iza-

tion.

But HUMAN RELATIONS a r e not the only consideration of l ife, We a r e

not here on e a r t h to just t r a d e with each o ther , o r have p leasan t soc ia l and

cultural re la t ions with each other .

It i s not enough that we have peace and good will on e a r t h with each other ,

THE ULTIMATE O F MAN

We have a f a r g r e a t e r purpose than that our sensed e l ec t r i c bodies should

sense each o ther , even if we sensed each other in such harmony and unity that

war would be unthinkable and impossible ,

We a r e nc t just humans--human m e n and women who dea l with each other

a s humans - -human m e n and wornen who reproduce ma le and female children

to grow up and be the s a m e kind of humans,

We a r e m o r e than just human beings, placed on ea r th to mani fes t our

humanity, we a r e sp i r i tua l beings placed on e a r t h to mani fes t The One Supreme

Being- -and to know our se lves a s THAT ONE

Our SPIRITUAL RELATIONS should, therefore , t r anscend our HUMAN

RELATIONS.

THE ILLUSION O F THE SENSES

In our a w a r e n e s s we a r e f i r s t humans , because we can see our bodies and

s e n s e t he i r ex i s t ence i n t he i r e l ec t r i c env i ronment . In other words our e l ec -

t r i c s e n s e s t e l l u s of our physical ex i s tence , Tha t i s a l l we a r e a w a r e of fo r

m a n y aeons , and the evidence of our s e n s e s i s a l l we have to t e l l u s of i t

Such evidence is unre l iab le , f o r the s e n s e s a r e l imi ted to sensing. They have

n o knowledge i n t h e m , and, t he r e fo re , a l l conc lus ions which a r e based upon

t he s e n s e s a r e of no value except f o r expe r imen t by the s e n s e s , Th i s l e ads to

a reason ing p r o c e s s which i s not menta l , f o r i t h a s no insp i ra t ion in i t . I4 e -

have built our e n t i r e civil ization through t h i s reason ing p r o c e s s with the

except ion of the l i t t l e cu l tu re which our few c o s m i c b e i n i s have given to i t .

Th i s impor t an t f ac t we want you to know f o r too many of the c r ea t i ons of

m e n a r e syn thes ized f r o m the s e n s e s by t he expe r imen ta l p r o c e s s of r ea son -

ing . They have no genius i n them. They have not even mental i ty i n them, fo r -

menta l i ty i s s p i r i t u a l and our s e n s e s a r e a s to ta l ly unaware of the i r sp i r i tua l

c o n t r o l a s a n e l e c t r i c machine made by m a n i s a w a r e 05 i t s con t ro l by the

in te l l igence of m a n ,

Our s e n s e s , t h e r e f o r e , cannot s ense the s p i r i t of m a n because the s p i r -

i t u a l Source of m a n i s invis ible , I t cannot be SEEN, It c an only be KNOWN

You cannot a c q u i r e knowledge through the s e n s e s , Knowledge can be

a c q u i r e d only th rough d e s i r e of the Soul., T h e r e i s no other way, To acqui re

knowledge you m u s t a s k God fo r i t , You m u s t t r a n s c e n d hl-lmanity to a sk God

f o r i t . You m u s t f o rge t your body- and t r a n s c e n d your s e n s e s to a s k God f o r

knowledge, You m u s t be wholly Mind to commune with Mind,

Knowledge i s CAUSE. Cause l i e s a t the Source of a l l E F F E C T , The

senses sense only E F F E C T . Knowledge can only be KNOWN, fo r the Source

can be only KNOWN. It cannot be seen. E F F E C T cannot be KNOWN.

You can see , therefore , that cosmic beings t ranscend human beings in the

measure that their SPIRITUAL RELATIONS t ranscend their HUMAN

RELATIONS. THE GENIUS IS COSMIC. He l ives i n another world. He can

transcend his humanity at will.

Meditation is the bridge which the human m u s t c r o s s to t r ans fo rm the

information which h is s enses have r eco rded upon h is brain into knowledge

which centers h im in the Light of h i s un ive r sa l Self.

These ve ry words which we a r e writ ing have a meaning behind them which

your senses cannot see . You can r ead them with your senses and gain no knowl-

edge whatsoever f rom ' them. They m a y be even acceptable to your logic and

reasoning, but s t i l l have no knowledge in them

When you a r e simultaneously INFORMED by your senses , and INSPIRED

by your Soul by reading them, you a r e then MANIFESTING GOD IN YOU

THROUGH YCUR SENSES because your sp i r i tua l re la t ions a r e a s strong, or

s t ronger than your objective ma te r i a l s ense s ,

Pe rhaps i t might be c l e a r e r to you to exemplify this idea to one who l i s -

tens to a mus ica l mas te rp i ece , The pure ly physical ma te r i a l i s t will hear

nothing but sounds, Thei r rhythms m a y enter ta in h i s s enses but that which i s

spiri tual i n mus ic does not touch h im.

One whose Soul responds a l i t t le to that which i s spir i tual i n music i s

re inspired in the m e a s u r e that h i s Soul i s touched by the Soul of the composer .

If such a one c a r r i e s the m e m o r y of that m u s i c into his medi ta t ion he awakens

h i s own genius m o r e and m o r e deeply by such meditat ion.

That i s what we mean by cult ivating your spir i tual re la t ions to such a high

potential that you can l ive m o r e and m o r e i n that other cosmic wor ld of e c s t a s y

MISCONCEPTION O F INTELLIGENCE

Unless we m a k e th i s i dea a s c l e a r a s c r y s t a l to you we a r e not accompl i sh-

ing the purpose of giving you knowledge by awakening your.Mind. F o r th i s

r ea son we mus t dwel l on th i s idea until i t i s m o r e fuliy understood.

The re a r e a l a r g e number of people whom we fami l ia r ly ca l l THE

INTELLIGENTSIA. The dic t ionary defines these a s "the educated c l a s se s " .

These include the t eache r of h i s to ry in the univers i ty who can t e l l you

eve ry important even t i n world h i s to ry , even t o the dates of t h e i r happenings.

It includes the a s t r o n o m e r mathemat ic ian who can calculate a n ee l ipse to the

spli t second--the inventor who c a n make a machine for doing marve l lous

things -- -the phys ic i s t , chemis t , o r metallc.rgf s t who can combine count less

your voice to be r epea t ed thousands of m i l e s away o r to te l l - a ship i n the d a r k

that another i s ahead i n i t s path .

It i s commonly a s s u m e d tha.t these people have g rea t knowledge, That

does not n e c e s s a r i l y follow. As a m a t t e r of fact t he re i s ve ry l i t t le knowl-

i s gained by exper ience .

If conclusions a r r i v e d a t by the evidence of one ' s s e n s e s can g?ve knowledge

to such an obse rve r sc ience would have knowledge of the C a u s e and Source of

i t s ' : . : observed effects . Science h a s g r e a t ski l ls , g r ea t reasoning and g r e a t

intelligence i n combining e f fec t s . I t knows HOW to do m a n y things but i t

admittedly does not know the WHY of anything.

Ask one of the g r e a t e s t sc ien t i s t s i n the world what e l ec t r i c i t y i s - -o r l ight-

gravi ta t ion-energy- - rad ia t ion- -heat- - f r ic t ion- -magnet i sm - -oxygen o r polar i ty .

He will t e l l you that he does not know. Ask h im why a fal l ing stone a c c e l e r a t e s

or why orb i t s of p lane ts a r e e l l ip t ical , He will a l so t e l l you that he does not

know, Ask h i m why you can insulate e lec t r ic i ty but cannot insu la te magnet i sm.

Again he will t e l l you that he does not know.

He h a s s ensed a l l of these effects but comprehension of t hem h a s not gone

He h a s m a n y theo r i e s and many laws which a r e a l s o conclusions a r r i v e d

TO BECOME A TRANSCENDENT BEING

We explain th i s idea in such de ta i l because i t i s genera l ly assumed that

sensing, and reasoning f r o m sensed observat ion, i s thinking f r o m the Mind.

Sense-thinking i s m e r e l y making u s e of the count less m e m o r y records which

have been s tored upon the b ra in and assembl ing them into var ied fo rms .

The b ra in i s not the Mind. It i s but a s torehouse for. m e m o r i e s of exper -

iences of the s e n s e s , The bra in does not KNOW. It but r epea t s recordings -

of the senses .

The b r a i n r e m e m b e r s , repea ts , a s s e m b l e s and r e a r r a n g e s memor ie s ,

compares them, adds one to another, and r easons new combinations of things

remembered by the senses which will do th i s o r that . By an analytical com -

parative, synthesizing p r o c e s s the s e n s e s will put things together which the

senses have observed and r e m e m b e r .

If such a b ra in "composes" m u s i c the r e s u l t will be a synthesis- -or

complex p l ag i a r i sm of many things h e a r d and repeated. Such mus ic can n o t

A SUGGESTION TO THE AWAKENING GENIUS

One whose thinking s t e m s f r o m h i s s e n s e s alone might be l ikened to the

pendulum which swings both ways a s an extension f r o m the s t i l l f u l c r u m f r o m

which i t Swings without having a n a w a r e n e s s of that s t i l l power of i t s s o u r c e .

Those t r anscenden t beings who give the world i t s enduring t r u t h s think

f r o m the Light of Mind which c e n t e r s t hem and THEY ARE FULLY AWARE

O F THAT SOURCE,

Our f i r s t f o u r l e s s o n s told you how to r e a c h tha t stage of Soul -awareness

through med i t a t i on , which m e a n s to decen t r a t e ins tead of concen t ra te . Such


a transition consumes much t i m e , but a s you become m o r e and m o r e accus-

tomed to making that t rans i t ion you will find that you can r e m a i n in that exalted

and ecstatic condition while you work at your creat ions of any na ture .

You will find that your Soul-awareness will make vou forge t the senses of

your body a s you think with ful l awareness of the Source of your thinking.

That i s what we mean by "working knowingly with God", That i s the t rend

of the unfolding r a c e of man. That i s what we mean by your sp i r i tua l re la t ions

with the spir i tual Mind of the universe .

We shall continue this thought into the next lesson to explain in g rea t e r

detail, by word and d i ag ram, how each individual multiplies h i s Self a s e i ther

man or woman, and how m a n and woman multiply the i r power a s a unified p a i r .

Few people r ea l i ze the multiplied power of a completely unified and ba l -

anted man and woman, nor i s the scientific aspect of such a union even faintly

understood, I t i s vitally impor tan t that i t should be understood, fo r balanced

mating i s the m o s t impor tan t e lement in everyone ' s l ife.

Also we will scientifically explain the principle of thought communication

with those who have "passed on",

REINCARNATION CONTINUED

THROUGH COSMIC KNOWING WE MULTIPLY OURSELVES INTO TRAN-

SCENDENT BEINGS.

The human r a c e i s slowlv unfolding f r o m a pr imi t ive , phvsical existence

t o a divine spir i t i la l one, The s tages of our unfolding begin with a l imited

r a n g e of body sens ing , and end with an unl imited range of Mind-knowing.

Thousands of y e a r s a r e consumed in the p r o c e s s of making even a l i t t le

p r o g r e s s f r o m phys ica l sensing to Mind-knowing, The p r o c e s s is one or slow

mult ipl icat ion f o r the sensed individual who h a s not yet hea rd the Inner Voice

of Universa l Mind urging h im to communion with the Light of knowing Mind- -

but i t mul t ipl ies v e r y quickly for one whose Soul i s awakened to a real izat ion

of the omnipotence and omniscience of a l l mankind ,

If you have h e a r d your awakened Soul whisper ing insp i red knowledge intui-

t ive ly t o you i t hut m a r k s a point in your unfolding which has taken you mil l fons

of y e a r s t o r e a c h , You cancont inue to unfold slowly fo r another thousand y e a r s

wi th but l i t t le p r o g r e s s o r you can gain a thousand y e a r s of p r o g r e s s in a few


months- - o r weeks- -o r even in a t i m e l e s s f l a s h - -if you will s o live your life

that you do not your self smother that Voice of Inner Awakening a s the g rea t

m a s s of humans a r e perpetual ly doing who p r e f e r to l i s ten to the no ises which

vibrate the i r s enses r a t h e r than to the s i l ence of t he i r all-knowing Souls--

which a r e STILL--and without vibration,

These lessons a r e f o r the purpose of giving you the knowledge of how to

t ranscend your Self by multiplying your Self .

1. By gaining the comprehension which will enable you to i n c r e a s e the

range of your now v e r y l imi ted sense percep t ion to a v e r y g r e a t range.

2. By a g rea t i n c r e a s e in what i s known a s e x t r a - s e n s o r y perception.

The grea t m a s s of the human r a c e has , a s ye t , but l e a rned to think i n the pos-

itive direct ion of concentra t ion. Only a f ew can balance t he i r concentrative

thinking with decentra t ive thinking, - -and a m o r e r a r e few c a n control their

thinking f r o m the s t i l l c en t e r f r o m which the pendulum of t he i r thinking swings

two ways between the posit ive and negative ha lves of t he i r bodies . E v e r y gain

in knowledge in th is d i rec t ion i n c r e a s e s the range of s ense percept ion.

3 . By the multiplying power of ba lanced mat ing, which m e a n s the unify-

ing pr inciple that voids the unbalance of divided s e x condition, Knowledge of

the e lec t r ic na ture of the two opposites which ma le and f ema le a r e , will avoid

the grea t i l l s which a r i s e f r o m pure ignorance of th i s re la t ion ,

4, By gaining the power to acqui re knowledge f r o m the invisible CAUSE

of a l l things without needing to be in formed by the s e n s e s , To at ta in this end

i s to at tain a l l t he re i s to a t ta in . He who d e s i r e s to a t ta in i t m a y do so by fu l -

ALL KNOWLEDGE EXISTS. KNOWLEDGE BELONGS TO THE MIND

UNIVERSE. HE WHO DESIRES ALL-KNOWLEDGE MAY ATTAIN IT ONLY

BY TRANSCENDING THE SENSED MATERIAL UNIVERSE.

The CONSCIOUSNESS of m a n m u s t t ranscend the sensed e l e c t r i c body of

man . When CONSCIOUSNESS awakens i n m a n i t controls the body in the m e a -

s u r e of i t s awakening. Until that t ime m a n thinks of h i s body as h i s se l f .

When man s i t s wi thin h i s body and knowingly cont ro l s i t , a s he s i t s within h i s

This drawing rep resen t s two suns in space , We have made them similar

in m a s s so their wave-fields will be equal.

These suns have been compressed into their abundance by the multiplica-

tion of light given to them. They MUST radiate a p a r t of that abundance.

They cannot help i t . They cannot withhold the i r abundance a s humans do, If -

they could withhold i t they would wither a s humans do who withhold of their

giving s .

Each of these two suns give to each other by radiating the i r gift outward

into space. Between each unit of Creat ion and eve ry other unit there i s a plane

of equal p r e s s u r e s where whatever i s RADIATED by each r e v e r s e s i t s

direction a t that equator and then GRAVITATES toward eve ry other unit in-

Creation.

and Fig. 77, which i l lus t ra tes balanced interchange between the opposite poles

RADIATES i t s light OUTWARDLY into space . Each regive s that which space

gave to i t in abundance.

Each sun i s presumablyi giving to the other , each human i s , presumably,

giving to another and one pole of a magnet i s likewise presumed to be giving

to the other. That i s a fact--but beyond that interchange between just TWO

units i s the g rea te r f a c t that each i s giving to eve ry other unit in space.

fact needs the g r e a t e r attention of mankind because our peace and happiness

to anyone individually without giving to the whole human race , nor , conversely,

can we hurt one human without hurting the whole human race .

The sun cannot r e s t r i c t i t s radiation to one sun--nor can m a n res t r i c t h is

radiation to one m a n . All units of Creat ion radiate out into all space. All -

units a r e extensions of each other. Each unit of Creation interchanges i t s

v e r y breathing with every other unit.

Each unit i n c r e a s e s the abundance of every other unit by reversing the

expansion of i t s radiation to the contraction of gravitation. Carefully study

the ar rows in F i g u r e s 75, 76 and 77. Note that radiation r e v e r s e s i t s d i r e c -

Note carefully that every radiating line i s reversed to a gravitating one a t

One of these i s the assumption that the ear th i s a huge magnet. This

theory i s commonly taught a s a f ac t of mat ter and motion. It mus t be c o r -

rec ted because it i s so fundamentally untrue that i t would obstruct fur ther

knowledge of the s t ruc ture of ma t t e r just a s a huge boulder would obstruct

the passage of a ra i l road t ra in .

This theory was ar r ived a t because the ea r th has north and south m a g -

netic poles, and s o has a magnet, Look a t Fig. 77 and you will s ee a po la r -

ized bar of s tee l which we cal l a b a r magnet. If you t r y to pick up a nail with

the magnet you wil l find that you can do so a t the two poles which a r e gravi ta -

You will find that the equator of the magnet i s absolutely "dead',., so f a r

a s any indication of a gravitative inward pull, o r a radiative outward th rus t

a r e concerned.

On the con t ra ry everything which i s affected by the ea r th ' s gravity i s

pulled inward toward the center of the ea r th ' s equator --not toward i t s poles- -

and everything a l s o which i s th rus t away f rom the ea r th i s thrus t radially

The ea r th i s not, therefore, a huge magnet. I t i s a body being fo rmed

of one e lec t r ic wave (which a magnet i s ) and the south pole of another e lec t r ic

ALL MATTER IS LIGHT AND IS MANIFESTED B Y SPIRAL LIGHT-WAVES

There has been much cont ro :~ersy in science a s to the nature of light

F o r a long t ime light has been p resumed to be corpuscular , which means that

it i s composed of pa r t i c l e s of m a t t e r . In recent yea r s light has been said to


be made up of waves. Both a r e right. All motion in the universe i s wave

motion, Mat t e r i s a corpuscular r eco rd of the electr ic potential a t any one

point in any wave, P a r t i c l e s of ma t t e r f o r m wherever des i r e of Mind to

express f o r m takes place--and that i s everywhere.

There i s no point in the universe which i s not continually extending and

retracting in inward-outward explosions to multiply the black light of space

into the white light of inc.andescent ma t t e r and to divide the white light to

re turn it t o the z e r o f r o m which i t came. Every part ic le of m a t t e r i s a wave -.

and every wave i s completely fi l led with par t ic les of m a t t e r which measure

the electr ic p o t e n t i d a t e v e r y point in every wave-field.

Figure 82 i l lus t ra tes how the e lec t r ic cu r ren t multiplies the z e r o of the

universal equi l ibr ium by winding low e lec t r ic potential sp i ra l ly into high poten

t ial , and then unwinding i t to z e r o for repetit ion in the next wave cycle.

The c e n t r a l sun in this e l ec t r i c cycle occupies a position in the e lec t r ic

cur rent which i s known to e lec t r ic ians a s a loop of fo rce . Wherever an e l ec -

t r i c cur rent p a s s e s through a wire these whirling loops of force occur to f o r m

microscopic atomic sys t ems which a r e identical with a so lar sys tem, a neb-

ula or a galaxy like the Milky Way. This l i t t le sun in F ig . 82 i s a t rue sphere

and the o rb i t s of a l l of i t s microscopic a toms revolve upon the plane of i t s

equator.

The s a m e li t t le sun i s shown in F i g , 83 at the amplitude of a wave, By

studying th is d iagram, in connection with F i g u r e s 84, 85 and 86 , you may see

the whole p r o c e s s of winding light gyroscopically, and sp i ra l ly into spheres

IN FOUR EFFORTS- -then unwinding these spheres by four opposite efforts.


Spheres occur only a t wave amplitudes and the fact of i t s four positive

and four negative efforts i s the bas i s of the octave wave f rom which our spec -

t r u m , our octaves of the elements and our octaves of musical tones a r e

derived,

This 0, 1, 2, 3 , 4, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 octave sequence constitutes the h e a r t -

beat of the universe . It i s the b a s i s of our musica l rhythms, our chemis t ry ,

our mathematics , our symmetry of design of a l l animal, mineral and vege-

table f o r m s and of our color spec t rum of light.

Within the octave light-waves of mat ter in motion lie all the sec re t s of

Creat ion, To know the wave i s to know Cod 's sec re t s and His processes .

The next lesson will expand this idea more fully, but we can go no further now

until we clarify the wave-field pr inciple i tself . To do this we must make c lea r

to you the principle of the cube wave -fields of space a s we have made c lear

the centering physical bodies which have emerged f rom those wave -fields of

ANSWER, God does not grow in potential. The potential of power which

God has i n His Being i s the measu re of DESIRE in Him to c r e a t e His uni-

God's power i s manifested in His thinking. Thinking i s e lec t r ic . His

and the c r e a t o r of imagined bodies f o r imagined IDEA,

Th i s i s a br ief answer to your question. T o g r a s p i t m o r e fully you m u s t

f i l l i n the gaps of your lack of understanding by studying a l l of the l e s s o n s

f r o m the beginning and medi ta t ing milch upon t h e m ,

I t i s not e a s y f o r the s ensed human to even begin to unders tand i t but a s

you become m o r e and m o r e c o s m i c , because of your increas ing God a w a r e -

ne s c , you will not hat-e to study i t so care fu l ly , and think i t s o concent ra ted ly ,

f o r y o u w i l l just KNOW it,


QUESTION. "The God Mind, being omnipresen t and omnipotent, would - not the thinking that spr ings f r o m that Mind be of the s ame quali ty--hence

not illusion ? "

ANSWER. No, i t would not be the s a m e qual i ty- -and i t IS i l lusion. Mind

i s undivided, unchanging and mot ion less , The thinking of Mind is divided,

changing and in continuous motion. Motion cannot be s t i l lness--sound cannot

be si lence - -changing cannot be unchanging - -but sound can manifest that which

l i e s within s i lence--change can manifest the unchanging and the divided can

manifest the undivided.

If you would but look a t the s t i l l point f r o m which the pendulum of your

clock swings you would be t te r unders tand how the changing can manifest the

unchanging - -a l so you will under stand that i t s motion cannot become i t s s t i l l -

n e s s .

Likewise i f you will look a t the s i lent h a r p s t r ing f r o m which i t s sound

extends you will s ee that the sounds a r e not in the si lence but a r e in the

motion of the vibrat ions which extend f r o m the motionless s t r ing .

Again, i f you would look at the fu l c rum f r o m which a lever extends to

lift heavy objects you will s ee that the power which l if ts them i s not in the

moving l e v e r , but i n the s t i l l fulcrum, f o r the l eve r cannot move to lift any-

thing without the s t i l l fu lc rum

QUESTION. "1 cannot see how TIME could be- con.i idered to be an i l lu-

sion. To m e it i s the m o s t r e a l thing I know of--even a s r e a l a s m a t t e r . W i l l

you tell m e where I a m wrong?"

ANSWER. Your s enses te l l you that t h e r e i s such an effect a s TIME.


Your senses see day following night- -event following event- -one exper ience

following another - -your body growing old- - f lowers and f o r e s t s r i s ing f r o m the

e a r t h and disappear ing--but your s enses deceive you mightily because they a r e

l imi ted to seeing just a pinhole view of Nature ,

If your s enses could extend the i r range all around the cycle of any effect

of motion a l l things would s e e m to stand s t i l l - -and t ime would not be , because

motion in one direct ion would be voided by the other direct ion,

Your s enses s e e a pendulum swinging f r o m i t s fixed fu lc rum, but your

s e n s e s do not see an invis ible f o r c e which i s EQUAL to that of the pendulum

which i s swinging the o ther way. If your s e n s e s could see the whole of the

effect a t once -:instead of a l i t t le of i t at a t i m e , you would never s e e sequences ,

hence youcould not exper ience the sensat ion of t ime , More than that you could

not even count beyond z e r o ,

T h e r e i s a backward flow t o t i m e which voids i t s forward flow. To e x e m - - - - --

plify our meaning cons ider 'the flight of a plane. Your senses s ee i t going i n

one d i rec t ion , but you do not s e e a black vacuous hole behind that plane which

i s a s negatively s t rong a s the posit ive fl ight i s s t rong , That invisible vacu -

ous empty hole in space behind the plane would pull i t backwards t o a z e r o

point between them if the motion of the plane could suddenly cease .

L a t e r in these l e s sons you will r ead of a new law f rom The Divine Il iad

Message which says: " E v e r y action in Nature i s voided a s i t occu r s , i s

r epea t ed a s i t i s voided, and i s r eco rded a s i t i s repeated. " A full u n d e r -

standing of that law will help you comprehend the i l lusion which th i s un ive r se

QUESTION. "I went to do some work in the shock wards of our s ta te

asylum. Shortly a f t e r re turning home a sudden depress ion overtook m e which

the strongest s t a t emen t s of t ru th would not e rad ica te . I fe l t a hope less fee l -

ing within m e , a s if a l l m y y e a r s of seeking and t rust ing w e r e tu rned to

naught.

"We a r e admonished to v i s i t the s ick, comfor t the seeming hopeless , and

yet if we d a r e t o t u r n a downward glance, we find ourse lves pulled into that

s ame condition. Must we who a r e learn ing t r u t h and ever s t r iving to keep the

eye single upon the Source of our being ignore the ca l l of the l e s s for tuna te?

What i s your advice on th i s ?I1

ANSWER, When you go to ' l comfor t the sick" you go t o GIVE to them

what they lack and you have in abundance --which i s your love, your balance

and your joyousness of God a w a r e n e s s i n you. If you can succeed in giving i t

to them they will then have what you have i n the m e a s u r e of t he i r abil i ty to

reflect YOUR light.

Instead of your doing that you allowed them to extend the i r unbalance to

you. You gave t h e m not,hing of your l ight because of your sympathy and other --

emotions which you thought would comfor t t h e m , In the Book of Healing and

The Healing P r i n c i p l e i n Vol. I1 of The Divine Il iad i t i s ca re fu l ly explained

that sympathy to an ailing pe r son gives a recognition to the a i lment , making of

i t a reali ty.

You l e t t hem ref lec t the i r absence of God awareness into you instead of

the r eve r se , You m u s t l e a r n to insu la te yourself against the ills of o the r s by

your knowing of your divinity instead of being a conductor of t hem by letting


t h e m p a s s through you and touch you i n t he i r pa s s ing ,

One p h r a s e i n your quest ion convinces u s tha t you do not unders tand th i s

p r inc ip le . This p h r a s e is: "a sudden dep re s s ion overtook m e which even the - s t ronges t s ta tements of t r u th would not e r ad i ca t e . " Th i s sounds l ike relying

upon a f f i rmat ions ins tead of knowledge. No m a t t e r what t r u th s one m a y u t t e r

they a r e of no benefit whatsoever un less t h e r e i s ful l knowledge of the i r m e a n -

ing , and comprehension of t he i r p rac t ice behind them. Aff i rmat ions a r e no

g ramophone un l e s s they a r e u t t e r ed with knowledge of the i r re la t ionship to

QUESTION. 1, "What a r e d r e a m s ? 2. What i s hypnos is? 3: Are

t h e s e phenomena of any significance i n unders tanding the na ture of mind or

the i l lus ions of the sense percep t ions ?I'

ANSWER, D r e a m s a r e the r e su l t of not being fully as leep . Sleep m e a n s

m o r e o r l e s s lowering of voltage of e l ec t r i c potent ia l pass ing through your

b ra in - -no t Mind. The purpose or' that lowering of potential i s t o l e t your

s e n s e s - - n o t Mind- - re lax and r e s t f o r an i n t e rva l ,

In u t t e r re laxat ion one cannot d r e a m , fo r a l l of the m e m o r y r e c o r d s which

a r e s t o r e d i n the b ra in have no motivating f o r c e behind them to s e t t hem i n

motion. When you a r e fully awake, and have that fu l l motivating f o r c e flowing

th rough your s e n s e s , you can pick any r e c o r d you choose f r o m those s tored

m e m o r i e s , but when you a r e not quite as leep a l i t t le c u r r e n t flows through

your s to r ed r e c o r d s and awakens p a r t s of m a n y of t hem without your power t o

con t ro l t hem, This s t range mix tu re i s what you ca l l d r e a m s , and the c la r i ty


of them, o r t he i r vagueness , i s dependent upon the power which motivates

them, and the fact that they a r e uncontrol%ed,

Hypnotism i s the power genera ted by one pe r son to compel another to

act in accordance with his own d e s i r e , In an inconspicuous manner you see

hypnosis i n prac t ice everywhere, a m o t h e r who thinks for - -and ru l e s - -her

son, o r any s t rong cha rac t e r in any walk of life who controls weaklings by h i s

g rea t e r knowledge and will,

P rac t i ce in the a r t of multiplying will power will strengthen one i s th is

respec t Qust a s prac t ice in exerc i s ing c e r t a i n musc le s will make them m o r e

powerful than o thers - -or p rac t ice in c e r t a i n a r t s and ski l ls will give one p r o - . ficiency over a l e s s e r pract iced pe r son .

Many doc tors have developed s t rong hypnotic powers without intending to

do so- -in fac t some have deve loped t h e s e with sufficient intensity to operate

upon a patient without giving an anesthet ic .

These phenomena have significance in understanding effects of the s enses

but not of the Mind- -for they a r e not men ta l .

The whole of these teachines explain the difference between sensing and

knowing. By carefully reviewing the l e s s o n s f r o m the beginning you will -see

the golden th read of that thought throughout the en t i re s e r i e s .
