VI, How to Choose a Career

Chapter VI
How to Choose a Career

The Genius in Everyone
I would like to define the genius in the terms of modern mental science, as one who expresses more fully than the rest of us, the quality which belongs to each of us. I would like to express my faith in the inherent greatness of the most commonplace among us, in the face of the chill winds of heredity, “chromosomes,” “sports,” “variations,” “mutations,” or the seekers after miracles. I would still stand with Wordsworth on the principle that “trailing clouds of glory do we come from God who is our home,” conceding only that with the genius the clouds have condensed into a mantle, while with the rest of us they have dissipated into mist. But I insist that with each of us, it is the same kind of “glory” that we trail. The genius is the man who feels within himself the capacity to do or to express along a given line, and who insists with himself and the world that he shall unfold that which he feels himself to be. As Edwin Markham has said,

“To each is given a stone to carve for the wall,
A stone that is needeed to heighten the beauty of all;
And only his soul has the magic to give it a grace.
And only his hand has the cunning to put it in place.”

The genius then is the man who has discovered the stone he is to carve, and who goes on to carve it in spite of all that rises to discourage or oppose.

To so define genius is not to deny biological science. With some, the soul has possessed itself of a better body for its expression; we are not forced to admit that the body has possessed itself of a better soul. In fact, what we have always defined as genius has shown a definite contempt for the physical, frequently housing itself in offensive clay, as though to better reveail its independence of all things material. Anterior to bodies, the soul is not the product of environment, but cleverly adapts the house it occupies to the changing conditions of the objective world and thus survives in the midst of natural forces. Man is like an oak tree growing on the slope of some exposed hill. The fierce winds beat upon it, but it struggles against them, drives its roots into a firmer anchorage, and presents as little foliage as possible to the blast. The wind does not make the oak what it is, the oak makes itself what it is by adapting itself to the situations it meets. So it is with man. He has within himself the power to cope with the conditions of life, heredity, environment, and all the myriad problems of existence.

The genius, then, is the man who, like the rest of us, finds himself equipped with a mind that is equal to the requirement of life; but who, unlike the rest of us, finds out what he can best do and then goes to work to do it.

The mere taking up of a profession or vocation, however, is not enough to constitute the act of genius. Everyone takes up a vocation or profession, but with the vast majority life’s work is accepted rather than chosen; and on other grounds than our inherent individuality of being. We “drift into” teaching school because we “need to make the money”; because others around us have “taken up teaching”; because it “gives us the associations of culture,” and so on: not because we have the “souls of teachers.” One becomes a doctor because father is a physician, or “there is a good income in it after you make good”; not because he has “the heart of a healer.”

Thus men who are natural mechanics enter the professions, women who are natural artists become stenographers, and vice versa ad infinitum. But how can this situation be changed?


Self-Discovery
What is the solution?

Self-discovery.

What could sound more trite! Have we not read from the Delphic shrine “know thyself,” for the last two thousand years and more!

Well, but after all, just what has that meant to us? Do we really know the self? How much has even the most learned among mankind known about his self during these ages? And has not modern Psychology infinitely involved the problem by raising a doubt as to what the self really is? How can you know that which changes so quickly that it is like a swiftly-flowing river, --you touch its surface, and even as you touch it, the point is gone forever! Are you then a succession of selves none of which can ever be discovered?

I introduce this problem merely to eliminate the charge of triteness. It will do us all good to make a scientific study of the self.

For our present purpose however it does not matter whether we consider the self as an entity-drop in the ocean of life, or an entity -”stream-of-consciousness” itself to borrow William James famous phrase. The fact remains that each and every one of us is an individual distinct if not apart from all other individuals.

The question arises however as to the source of this individual drop or stream of consciousness. We admit that individual life is dependent on something, and herein is a problem in comprehension for those who have never considered life and intelligence apart from personality.

Let us think of a universal mind like a vast ocean. It has within itself an infinite variety of ideas and purposes, each distinct, but all harmonious with each other. Let us conceive each one of these ideas or purposes to be an individual current, the Gulf Stream, or Japanese Current, as it were, of the Universal Mind. This Universal Mind expresses in movement, its purposes express in selves. The self, therefore, is life, mind (or spirit) individualizing as a soul. This is graphically represented in the Greek word (psyche?) which we find so often in the New Testament and which means “life,” “spirit,” and which modern science has adopted to designate the self; as in psychology, knowledge of the self; in psycho-analysis, the study and treatment of a “sick self,” etc.

Nothing could be more stimulating to the discovery of genius and its successful expression than the recognition that each self is an individual stream of the Universal Mind or Cosmic Consciousness, separate from all others, unified with all others, different from all others, in harmony with all others, supported by an infinite life, and flowing forth to be and to do a distinct and therefore personal thing.


Your Unique Personality
This then is primary, you are different form every other, you have an individual quality; there is something for you to do which no other can do because you are what no other can be.

Beware again of accepting this merely as a platitude --”there are no two leaves alike,” but what of it? Get behind your platitude. Consider the fact that there is no phenomenon without a noumenon. Take another platitude. “There are no two faces alike.” For this we thank a merciful heaven, we say. But we must esxplain the phenomenon, the face, by the noumenon, the self. It is this self that working in the embryo takes the materials of nature and heredity and constructs a human form; that later adapts that form to changing conditions of environment; and moulds the face to sublime or vicious expression according to the types of thought and desire of the individual.

But dissect your platitude a little further. The reason two faces are not alike is because the mental content is different; but in the case of some husbands and wives who have loved and lived in mutual likes and dislikes for fifty years, have you noted the similarity of expression?

Thus we dissolve not the platitude but the prejudice. We look different because we are different. There is something gloriously individual about us. There is an inherent quality of genius. “Man,” said Emerson, “is the inlet and the outlet of all there is in God.” Even if we modify this we may say that whatever I am is derived from an Infinite Source, shares in the quality of the Parent Mind, and therefore my uniqueness as a self is as genuine as any genius that has ever come into expression.

Does this automatically constitute me a great artist, author, musician, statesman, leader of mankind? Let us leave the question of “greatness” to society and history. That cannot be the moving impulse of genius. My geniums must consist in expressing that which I fundamentally am. There is something in me that can be satisfied only by my living my life along a certain line, in following which I find joy and satisfaction.


The Psychology of Interest Applied to Choice of a Career
How shall this secret of the self be revealed? How can one know when he is following the right course? Fortunately the self knows what it wants and has moments of revelation. It is the psychology of “interest” which is the big word in modern pedagogy. The attention must be engaged. At first an appeal is made through the play instinct as in the Montessori system or the Stoner system. Follows pictorial presentation for geography; field excursions and laboratory for science; dramatization for literature, etc. All these are an appeal to that magician of learning, interest. We develop only as we are interested. We remember best that which intrigues us. And on the other hand deterioration is the history of lost interest as psycho-physicians of every school will testify.

Our fundamental interest is always associated with that which is most closely concerned with the primary quality and purpose of self.

It follows from this that the method of vocational selection is psychological. It is not my purpose here to outline a full technique but rather to point out a way by which we can discover our real “bent” and either choose a vocation with some scientific accuracy or procure some sort of realignment in case we are already off the path of true self-expression.

I suggest that those interested secure a small note book and begin collection of “chief interests.” When you read, what interests you at the most? At the theater? On the screen? At school? On the street? What objects attract attention?

What are your thoughts about what you see? Do you find yourself reverting to these things? Pleasantly or unpleasantly? Why are you pleased or displeased? Do your thoughts about things or happenings please you more than the things do themselves? Do you “day dream” in connection with them? Do you imagine yourself in situations connected with your observations? Do you select certain aspects and ruminate on those? Do you improve mentally upon situations, mechanics, or conversations, that is, have you a better way for anything? In other words, what is your creative impulse?

Write out these things carefully and then underscore with a red pencil what interests you the most.

Keep this up until you have a definite idea as to what your fundamental interests are.


How to Use the Subconscious in the Choice of a Career
Second, engage the services of the subconscious. Your subconscious intelligence is acquainted with a vast variety of facts of which you are not objectively aware.

Here, in the subconscious, is a vast store of material which must be looked over and taken into consideration. Here are desires long since repressed, instincts long denied, passionate preferences shut out of consciousness to fit the apparent requirements of yesterday. For example, you had artistic inclinations but submerged them because father wanted you to go into business. Or perhaps you would like to have entered law but your family traditions headed you into the ministry. Or the spoken drama lured you across the footlights but mother closed the door to the stage. So it came about that your instinctive inclinations, your native purpose, baffled by the practical problem of pleasing the family, making a living or what not, never really had an opportunity to express itself to you. Your dominant interest has never been clear to you, your parent purpose is as vague as the face of your mother who died in your childhood. Only the feeling remains of something beautiful that is gone.

But is has not gone from the subconscious! There your fundamental interest lives beneath the level of objective consciousness, occasionally heaving the surface. Even more, it may, like a fallen angle gather about it a host of hidden forces and attack the very integrity of the organism. For strange as it may seem, the psycho-analyst is daily tracing the cause of phobias, hysteria, neurasthenia, all sorts of neuroses, varieties of liver complaints, goiter, stomach disorders, etc., etc., to its lair in buried memories, repressed emotions, unsolved problems, and unsatisfied interests.


Use of Intuition in Choice of a Career
Indeed, I shall here suggest to the psychoanalyst that the real cause of the diseases which he studies is not the obscure sex conflicts of Freud nor the “inferiority complex” of Adler, although they may play a secondary part. The real cause of all these troubles is the unsatisfied purpose of each human soul. The self, the psyche, has come into the world to fulfill a divine and definite destiny. “For this cause came I into the world that I might bear witness to the truth,” can be said of every man. “Some are prophets, some apostles, some teachers, some have the gift of tongues,” “each according to his gift.”

When the self is not called to the stand, when it cannot bear witness to its purpose, it gets “sick.” Then as there is no phenomenon without a noumenon, or in the language of Professor James, “all mental states are followed by bodily activity of some sort,” the body gets sick.

But how can that which is spiritual get “sick.” Certainly it is incorruptible. We have a slang phrase which covers it. “You make me sick.” “I am mentally distressed because you act the way you do. I am unhappy about it. I shall get no comfort until you correct your conduct and I shall give you none.” Thus the self seeks to arouse the individual and force him back to the original purpose. He must “get right with himself.” He must begin creating along the line of his original purpose. And the self knows.

The self knows! How shall it tell? The voice of intuition speaking through the subconscious.

But what is the technique? We have already learned the method of probing the subconscious. But there is a further method which we can follow.

Let us first review the law of the subconscious, since we are to make our appeal through it.

Briefly stated our law is this:

1. The subconscious is our mental storehouse, it is the builder of the body, it is the epitome of intelligence, its reasoning is deductive, and, given any premise, its logic is conclusive.

2. It accepts any idea impressed upon it.

3. It seeks to give form or expression to every idea.

Let us take, for example, the case of hypnotic suggestion. In hypnotism the conscious mind is, as it were, asleep. The subconscious mind is awake. We suggest to it that flesh is burning. We touch the spot indicated and with some sensitives the response is so strong that an actual blister appears on the skin. In other words, the subconscious works out the idea to a complete conclusion.

In recollecting we say, “I know that, I know that, but I have momentarily forgotten it.” Then we proceed to recall ideas, mental pictures,
associations that surround it, and presently memory disgorges her treasures.

Or we have a mathematical problem and wrestle with it throughout the evening. Unlike Jacob’s angel there is nothing heavenly about it but it gets us on the thigh just the same. We retire with our mind still filled with the “principle of the problem,” that is we “know the rule” and we go to sleep. This is all the subconscious mind requires, that it be given the premises and a free field without interference from the objective mind. We wake later and the problem is solved and we put it on paper.

We all know that this occurs sometimes, why does it not always occur? The answer is that perhaps the subconscious always does solve the problem under these circumstances but so thick is the partition between subjectivity and objectivity that it rarely rises to consciousness. The phrase “thick-headed” was doubtless an intuitive coinage!

To return to our technique.

Go to bed tonight with this thought definitely in your mind. “There is an intelligence in me that knows just exactly what I ought to be doing and it will tell me.” Give yourself this suggestion just as you are falling asleep. In sleep, the objective mind is quiescent, objectivity is stilled, but the subconscious activity of mind is wide awake, “the night is the day of the soul.” It will work out your problem, it will make its connections! The moment you awake ask it the question and it will make its divine revelation!

At first you may experience some vagueness of mental impression, but this is due to inexperience in the practice. After receiving a psychological impulse of this kind, you are free to turn your rationalizing powers upon it. In so doing, you will be assured of its genuineness by the fact that it will work out a line of action or at least a trend in the direction in which you are seeking guidance. As you pursue the path indicated, you will find yourself moving more and more difintely and with greater assurance.

One of my friends, a New York business man, in making decision of importance, mentally maps out the two or three directions it is possible to take; then turns it over to his deeper and better informed intelligence, saying “Tomorrow at eleven (or any other hour selected) I shall know just what to do.” At the appointed time, no matter what else may be occupying his attention at the moment, the subject in question rises spontaneously to his mind. He finds himself able to think clearly only along one line. His mind refuses to go in any other direction. Thus he is drawn into the right current and is swept forward without encountering unnecessary difficulties.

Learn to depend upon this power of intuition, the voice of the indwelling spirit which will bring you into harmony with the Cosmic Spirit and “teach you all things and guide you in the way of truth.”

These answers to our problem do not always come at once, or rather they may come but we do not hear the voice, it is so still and so small. But this is due to lack of practice and we must persist until it speaks to us with some of the certainty of the voices of Joan of Arc, or Socrates, or Jesus.

There is one final word I would like to say for those who are the wrong track already and know it. “Is it ever too late? What shall I do now?”

I do not believe it is too late if you still have any years of active life before you. If you cannot make a complete transition, then make a partial one. If you can no longer choose motherhood, you can still be a “mother to the race.” The sick, the needy, and the orphan can be your foster family.

But aside from pointing out so obvious a “sublimation” as the psychologist loves to call it, I wish to affirm my own faith that the vast majority of men and women can still get on the right track. I have known many men and women who have completely changed their profession or vocation and “made good,” and it should always be borne in mind that the task is easier because you are now working in harmony with the real law of your being, the divine purpose for which you came into the world.

V, Concentration

Chapter V
Concentration

The object of a mental treatment is to implant a suggestion or affirmation in the subconscious mind. We may call it a treatment, “going into the silence,” “realization,” meditation, or concentration. The word concentration means moving toward a center, or bringing the mind to one point. In the case of mysticism, which is a deeper form of concentration or abstraction, it may be called mono-ideism, meaning the holding of one idea to the exclusion of all else. The object is not the tenacious “holding of a thought” as a mental “stunt.” The object is to get an idea firmly implanted in the subconscious so that it will be acted upon to produce the desired result. Concentration is holding the mind to a point to the exclusion of anything that is contrary to the desired purpose.

Bearing this in mind, it can be seen that it is not the method that matters, so much as the result. Whatever will bring us to the point of the mental realization of an idea is of value no matter by what name it may be called. And there may be those who are never able to place themselves in a subjective state, who, nevertheless, are able to hold tenaciously to one idea without change or wavering until it is objectified or realized. Indeed, many who are of a very positive objective type get their results by the positive ness of their ideas without reference to method. There is a big school of metaphysics which follows the method of argumentation in which the practitioner mentally debates, or “argues out of court” anything that opposes the desired good. They use the syllogistic form, such as, “All reality is good.” “This is not good; therefore it is not real.” The method which we follow does not permit of this particular argument for the simple reason that we affirm that every thought produces fruit of its kind and the thistle is as real as the fig, the thorn as real as the rose. Both are the result of what we have planted in thought. But the argumentative method might still be employed. “Whatever a man thinks, he creates. The created cannot control the creator. It has no power in itself. It is merely the result. Results therefore cannot dictate my fate because I have the power to change the thought that produced them. I am not the sport of fate, I am not suffering form any injustice, because nothing comes to me that I may not control by the change of my mind. The problem I face contains a solution or else it is not a problem. The solution of this problem lies within me for I am one with the Universal Intelligence in which all problems are dissolved. There is no power that can oppose me because I am working with infinite power. Weakness, sickness, inharmony, poverty are the results of wrong thought and misdirected faith. I do not need to think of them as inevitable. I will not think of them as inevitable. They are not inevitable. I know that within me is a tower of strength. “The strength of the hills is His also.” “I go from strength to strength. Everyone (who employs the law) is as Mount Zion which cannot be moved.” I now declare that the desired end is within my reach, that I have the power to attain it, that there is nothing to oppose it, that I am happy in working out my problem, that “all things work together for my good,” that I am surrounded by infinite wisdom which will direct me, infinite power which will work for me, infinite peace which holds me eternally in the everlasting arms.”

However, many desire to enter more deeply than this into mental abstraction and a few words of direction will perhaps be welcome.


Steps in Concentration

1. Choose definitely the idea to be realized. The method for such choice, when in doubt, may be found in Chapter VI.
2. Relax.

a. Physical relaxation.
By physical relaxation we mean the letting down of all physical and nervous tension. Sit down or lie in a comfortable position and mentally go over the body saying “I am relaxed, I am relaxed.” If any part of the body is found to be in tension, then speak to that part of the body saying for example to the arm, “You are relaxed,” and then mentally picturing it as relaxed. Presently the most tense contractions will be released.
The use of the breath is very helpful in relaxation. Inhale deeply saying, “I am,” very slowly, then exhale with the word, “relaxing.” “I--a-m--r-e-l-a-x-i-n-g--”

b. Mental relaxation.
Remove mental tension by such methods as reading the Bible, inspirational books, poems, or the quotation of helpful statements and treatments. Affirm that all worry and concern are now being lifted from your mind and that you are mentally giving yourself over to the attention and care of an intelligence which can and will solve all your problems for you.

c. Moral relaxation.
Many people cannot get into the deeper abstraction because of moral tension or a sense of guilt. It is very essential to establish the sense of unity or harmony with your environment and with the universal life. At all costs see to it that your conscience is clear and if it is not, go to work to right whatever wrong rises to cloud your thought. But one must not be introspective to the point of faulty self-consciousness; nor get the idea that an absolutely flawless character is necessary to demonstration. To do so would be to shut off from demonstration not only the large body of those who have grave faults in character but even more those whose character is beautiful and above reproach, for it is true that the higher a man’s moral and spiritual attainment, the more sensitive he is to his own faults and to the requirements of the law of spirituality. But moral relaxation must be obtained for the simple reason that any sense of wrong divides the personality, introduces duality, leads to a feeling of separation --and therefore it is impossible to be monoideistic, and to enter into a state of abstraction.

3. Fixation of attention
To enter into abstraction or the subconscious by psychological methods it is often helpful to aid the attention by fixing it upon some object. The religious devotee often uses the crucifix or some other sacred symbol. Some occultists employ the crystal. The suggestionists often employ the voice, saying, “I am concentrating,” and repeating it monotonously and slowly. Sometimes we see them rubbing the thumb over the nerves along the line of the eyebrow, rubbing away from the bridge of the nose. Others use music or the monotonous tick of the clock or intonations of religious worship. In the use of an object the point is to hold it in such a way as to weary the eye which suggests sleep or mental drowsiness. Everyone enters the state of subconsciousness when he falls asleep and the eye is the first to yield to the lure of relaxation. Therefore to enter into a subconscious state for psychological demonstration we find that the cutting off or dulling of sense perception is necessary. The object is usually held up before the eye and just above the level of the bridge of the nose. A pencil or any similar article answers as well as the crucifix except that religious consciousness often adds expectancy.


Uncontrolled Mental Pictures

4. In concentrating it will be found that as soon as one begins to lose the consciousness of sense perception such as hearing, and sight, the mind begins to amuse itself with all kinds of reveries, fleeting thoughts, visions, memories, impressions and so on. It is surprising in how trifling a matter we may spend the moments of mental indolence. Who else could be as silly as we are in the hobo thoughts that tramp vagrantly across our empty minds?

This is the realm of subjective states of consciousness; and many persons never plunge beneath this surface. Here is where the seeds of impressions and suggestions from our environment find their shallow soil. Large numbers of people live out their lives guided by the chance thoughts that swarm about them seeking recognition and expression. A vast number of the suggestions upon which we act are neither passed upon by our conscious attention nor become fixed ideas in the subconscious.


Controlled Mental Pictures
It is in this field of subjectivity that the mental picturing which we call visualization takes place. Let this be borne carefully in mind for it is the secret of control of the attention. Instead of allowing vagrant thoughts and mental pictures to run through your mind, practice controlled picturization. In other words, at the threshold of the subconscious you may utilize the instinctive tendency to dramatize by controlling the pictures which are presented to the subconscious for creation, as already noted in the chapter on Visualization.

5. The next step is passivity, the state of mental calm into which it is desired to enter. The mental action is now brought under control through the slowing up of physical forces, the abatement of nervous impulses, the removal of mental and moral tensions, the centering of the thought on one picture. It is easy now to let the mind slip into arrested consciousness. Let the stillness of life be realized. Cultivate the love of stillness so that you do not feel awed or alarmed in its presence.

To this end one should develop a spirit of repose and the pleasure of relaxed attention. Gilder tells us to

“Be still and listen,
Be still and drink the quiet
Of all around.”

And by others we are told,

“He giveth his beloved rest.” “There remained therefore a rest for the people of God.” “In quietness and confidence shall be my strength.” “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth give I unto you.”


Entering the Subconscious in Falling Asleep
The process of entering the subconscious is not far different from that of falling asleep for we enter the subconscious every night. In falling asleep first comes the letting down of muscular tension, then nerve relaxation. Then the circumference of the mind is indrawn until we think of nothing beyond the borders of our couch. A peaceful calm settles upon us, a sense of well-being. We are entering the mystery of the subconscious, a mystery so deep that the materialist knows it only as a problem while the occultist tells us that “the night of the mind is the day of the soul.” On entering sleep we usually go without a definite idea unless it be a “wonder if we are catching cold,” or an assertion that our old lumbago is coming back; or that it’s not going to rain tomorrow, it’s going to pour.

On the other hand it is quite possible to take a well-chosen idea and a fixed purpose into the subconscious as one falls asleep, in which case the mind will work upon it all night as in the solving of problems. Judge Troward tells us that when both healer and patient are asleep is the best time to give a mental treatment for the simple reason that the idea once taken into the subconscious remains fixed there all night: distance is unknown to the mind, therefore, we may reach our patient anywhere: and finally, the idea will have the most direct influence since there is for the time being no contradiction of the impression such as is set up by the conscious mind during waking hours.

The analogy between concentration and falling asleep, however, is not quite complete for there is a state of consciousness in the conscious entrance of the subconscious which is not found in the sleep of the average person although it is enjoyed by some who have mastered certain occult principles.*
*Without alluding to person experiences, the author refers the reader to “The Law and the Word,” by Judge Troward.

The secret of successful demonstration by the method now being outlined lies in the ability to hold in mind the one particular idea which you are seeking to implant there. Instead of rapping out the message on the wall of the subconscious by means of repeated suggestion or argumentation, you are about to make one definite command within the very center itself where all creation takes place. We had a good illustration of this in the experiment previously referred to where Dr. William F. Kelley was impressing his subconscious with the involuntary movement of his thumb.** Remembering that the subconscious has no power of opposing your idea, you will perceive that all that remains is to be definite enough when you have come into this inner realm of mind.
*See “Twenty Secrets of Success,” Vol. I of this series.


The Joy of Contacting Universal Mind
Upon entering the subconscious you are in the power house of the personality and in direct contact with universal force and intelligence. The amazing wonder of this statement must strike upon the most stolid mind. To the uninitiated the foregoing scientific presentation may have convinced without awakening the responsive realization without which the truth cannot be appropriated. The intellect perhaps has accepted but the feelings have not yet been aroused. Or worse still, we may have become so accustomed to hearing the truth that we are unaffected by it. Of all states none could be worse than that of the sermon-saturated pagan, who has heard the Word, but after the first flare of enthusiasm, has settled down into cold ashes from which neither bellows nor a whirlwind can again arouse a flame. Rather the ardent glow of ignorance than the ashen gray of uninspired initiation! Happy is he whose whole soul is glowing with the ardor of realization of the divine unity, his oneness with all life, with universal force and movement. With what ecstasy he approaches the center for here he is to find his true nature, here he is to meet with that larger self of which in his conscious hours he is only dimly aware! Here he is to make his impress upon the plastic substance of creative mind. I venture to express this emotion in some lines of verse which came to me during the past summer.*
*Poems in a similar strain may be found in the “Songs of the Silence,” by the author.

I am drunk with conception,
I am mad with creative ardor;
The passion of God is upon me
And I shall make as He makes;
I shall take the subtle essence of my being
And build worlds and stars and suns--
There is room for more and I must make them.
O ye wise and prudent, I do not ask,
“Can it be done,” or, “May I do it?”
If ye are fearful, stand aside
Lest the explosive ardor of my conception
Shall consume you.
O the beauty that seethes in my soul!
O the unborn worlds that await my wording!
O the stars that seek an orbit
And suns pressing for utt’rance!
Sunrises and sunsets are appealing to me
And the souls of things are urging me on--
Seeds of roses, bulbs of lilies, germs
And spoors and seedlings stir within me
Beseeching me to utter and clothe them.
Unhoused souls, no longer shall ye clamor
About the barren womb
For I am ripe for conception
And I shall embody you!

I do not urge the reader either to burst into verse or give birth to a sun; but I do trust to fire you with creative ardor to join your forces with the universal flow of energy, to line up with cosmic intelligence and realize your unity with it.

The passionate surrender of the self to the wonder of spiritualized consciousness can be felt in such treatments as the following, expressed by Harvey Hardman, the author’s assistant at the Divine Science Church in New York.

“I reach out to the stars and bring the white radiance of Eternal Light to my healing.
“I penetrate to the still center of Infinite Motion for power to make me well.
“I seek in the calm beauty and mystic serenity of Cosmic Motherhood, the blessing of my peace.
“I enter the inner silence of Divine Consciousness and know that I am well.
“I am; and I am Life and Love --perfect, balanced, joyous and radiant Life and Love.”


Planting the Seed Idea or Mental Impression
Returning to the process of concentration we find that we have now entered into the creative medium of mind, that we are about to impress it directly. For this purpose many find it of value to have written on a piece of paper just what it is they are to imprint. The propitious time is found in the complete immersion of consciousness, which is by some called “the psychological moment,” and without rousing from this state, one makes himself aware, either through the assistance of the paper or not, that he is here for a purpose; he then pronounces the desired suggestion.

The strongest impression rules and as this is scientifically established, the only thing that remains is for the subconscious to work it out into expression as it does in physical healing in the body, and in financial healing of business affairs.

The responsiveness of the involuntary nerves and muscles to the “predominant mental impression” is a well-known fact of modern suggestive psychology and psychoanalysis. It should not be difficult to perceive that the control of business affairs is but an extension of the activity of the same mind.

We may, therefore, look with confidence for a result in harmony with the treatment, on the principle that there is no form without a thought back of it, and there cannot be a thought without a corresponding form following upon it. “Thoughts are things,” is no mere poetic statement.


The Mystical Consciousness
It is not our purpose here to teach the development of the mystical consciousness, but it may be remarked that the preceding method leads definitely to the doorway of the ego. It is, as it were, the passage way leading to the king’s chamber in the human pyramid, familiar to all students of occultism. Through it one may be led until he stands face to face with himself, and comes into mystical consciousness of that Wider Self to which he is related and of which he is indeed an undivided part. We refer the reader to our book on “Being and Becoming” for a study of the principles of the development of this wider consciousness, being content here to stop at the point where the demonstration has been made which leads to financial freedom and the sense of mastery which follows upon a self-directed course. “Men are sometimes masters of their fate; the fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our stars but in ourselves, that we are underlings.” Men may be not only sometimes masters of their fate but always, if they will avail themselves of those indwelling powers which are part of man’s heritage as he comes into the material world to work out the development of the individualized self-conscious existence.


Realization
The life in me is God in me and I am, therefore, pure spirit, free from ills of body, mind, and soul. In pure spirit I live, move, and have my being. I am perfect, even as my Father in Heaven is perfect. The breath which I breathe is the breath of the Spirit. The food which I eat is the gift of the Spirit. The consciousness of the Perfect Spirit is mine, and I know it and feel it flowing through my whole being, bringing with it strength, power and perfect peace. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and I feel His presence all around me, in me and through me. I am free from all sickness, worry, and fear. Perfect love casts out all fear from me and I am free. Health, hope, peace, life, love, truth, and plenty are mine. These I claim from God. These in the name of the Indwelling Christ I now receive. I render thanks for the perfect gift. Amen.

IV, Visualization or Dramatization

Chapter IV
Visualization or Dramatization

One may be said to have a concrete idea of a thing if he can make a mental picture of it. A true mental picture has definiteness of detail, outline, and finish. Such a picture cannot be made in ignorance of the subject, and therefore the making of it means study, preparation, fitness. The inventor must understand something of principles in order to create the mechanism. There must be an order and harmony of ideas such as was demonstrated during the war in the creation of the Liberty motor. We have already commended the principle of imagination in the Twenty Secrets of Success.

Imagination is a creative faculty because it enables us to take parts which have hitherto never been arranged in the present order and to assemble them into a form never before assumed. It is thus that angelic forms spring from the broken marble, air-cushioned motors replace the wonderful one-horse shay; and Jules Verne today might ride triumphantly with the United States fleet more than “twenty-thousand leagues under the se” --no doubt as a very welcome guest.

The power of mental dramatization parades mythical figures across the stage, speaking words of romance and despair, of love and death, of comedy and tragedy, and out of it a great play is born. It revels in the splendor of past greatness, clothes its figures in the velvets and laces of royalty, puts ancient kings upon the throne, saves the honor of queens and princesses through the devotion of d’Artagnans, and spreads it all on the silver screen where millions may read the history and romance of antiquity.

One should never be afraid to dramatize his ideals, to make them living things of flesh and blood, of iron and steel, of love and plenty, of honor and attainment.


Rules of Visualization
The rules of visualization are simple. First, decide what you want. You cannot hope to create what is indistinct as a desire. My first question to all who come for help is, “What do you want?” If you do not know, find out. Have a desire, an ambition, a purpose.

Second, see it as clearly with mental vision as you can. The author knew intimately a man who was at one time living in a small beach home in Southern California. He owned only an equity in the property. Having learned the laws of mental creation, he began to visualize himself as owning a very fine residence in another city. He saw himself going up the steps to the porch of the new home, taking the pass key from his pocket, and letting himself in. His mental picture was of a wide and spacious hall with a fireplace in which a blaze sent out its cheerful light and warmth. A stairway led to the upper rooms and he pictured himself as leisurely descending to greet a guest, himself dressed in white, as the symbol of leisure.

Within a few months he possessed just such a home. Within a year he had changed his mental picture to a still larger home in the city of Los Angeles and came into its possession.


Illustrations
We observe in this the growing capacity of those who practice the creative art of visualization. In the author’s opinion one of the most notable illustrations of the scientific use of these principles is found in the experience of Mrs. Genevieve Behrend, the author of “Your Invisible Power,” and the only living personal pupil of Judge Thomas Troward, the famous Mental Science philosopher. Mrs. Behrend tells of her demonstration of the opportunity to study with Troward. She first visualized twenty-thousand dollars with which she contemplated making her trip abroad. Her constant thought was that the “movement of Divine Mind is toward something that is better than that which has gone before.” She herself was in that Mind. She was in line with its forward movement. It was working with her and therefore could be made to work for her. She daily practiced the realization of this co-operation of the Universal with her purpose and mentally pictured herself as in possession of twenty-thousand dollars. As time went on, she had such a development of consciousness that she was able to perceive the possible beginnings of the demonstration, something that led in the direction desired. She firmly put from her mind all anxiety or undue tension knowing the Divine Mind operates without strain of any kind, and, in the language of Judge Troward, “transferred the burden.” But she watched the first indications and sought to place herself in harmony with the requirements. She knew that “the law will not do for you what it can only do through you.” As the impression developed into a definite leadership, she followed by intelligent action and presently found herself in the possession of the twenty-thousand dollars which she had been scientifically visualizing.

To elaborate on this subject would be to repeat the history of financial achievement in thousands of instances in America. Let us quote from Chauncey Depew, formerly president of the New York Central Lines and United States Senator: “In 1887

I had an option on a sixth of the Bell Telephone for some days for $10,000.00. I consulted the most famous telegraph expert in the country and he advised me to drop it. ‘It is a toy and commercially a fake,’ he said. Had I followed my strong faith in the enterprise, I would today be a hundred millionaire. I have always lost money when following the advice of experts. They are governed by their data and lack imagination, and without imagination all things not demonstrated to them are worthless.”*
*Address on his eighty-first birthday. The italics are mine.

H.L. Barber in his “Law of Financial Success” who quotes this, also quotes “Uncle Joe Cannon who was offered an interest in the telephone line at the same time and replied that he “preferred to go out and invest in ‘bee lines.’” Which, adds Barber, “substantiates the old saying, ‘the bigger they are, the harder they fall.’”


The Seed Idea and the Universal Plus
Continuing our discussion of the points of visualization, we find in the third place that while we are after something definite, and should therefore be definite, still the exact form which ultimately appears as the answer to the demonstration may not be exactly like the one first visualized. An architect or inventor might make a mental picture which is to embody his idea, but as the clearness of his vision develops, he changes the form to suit the better idea. As the building is being erected the architect may find many points to change. At the same time the building he creates is the answer to his seed thought or vision.

In planting a tree the horticulturist is selecting the idea or variety which he wishes to grow. But if he plants a certain kind of acorn he does not prescribe the exact form the oak will take when fully grown. The idea, germ, life principle in the acorn will grow the oak. “It grows ye know not how,” said Jesus.

At one time a woman came to me asking if I would help her demonstrate the opportunity of becoming a lecturer in metaphysics. “There are two things I must do,” she declared. “What are they?” “I must sell my house and get rid of my husband.”

I explained that it was not our plan to work in that way. If she really wished to become a teacher, that was a matter in itself and I would help her to form her picture and make the demonstration. The result was that she returned to me in a few weeks with tears of gratitude saying she had been reconciled to her husband; the house had not been sold and so furnished an asylum for her daughter who had come home for child birth; and that she was teaching the Truth in her own spacious parlors.

The answer to a demonstration is not always as remote as we think as was once indicated by Gipsy Smith when a woman came to him and said, “I am the mother of twelve children but I have been called of the Lord to preach the Gospel.”

“Praise the Lord,” replied the great evangelist, “he has not only called you to preach the Gospel but he has given you an audience.”

Let us bear in mind then that the idea is the thing. The mental form is merely our way of conceiving an idea. The clearer the idea and the more faith we have in it, the more satisfactory and swift will be the result. But visualization is not creation. It is the choice of and dramatization of an idea. The form which that idea will take may be far more beautiful and serviceable than we can picture. “He giveth exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think,” or as Dr. Julia Seton epitomizes it, “the universal plus is added to it.”

In the next chapter we shall show the place of visualization in the order of concentration and demonstration. Meanwhile make up your mind that you will dream great dreams, believe in great things, accomplish the desires of your heart.


Realization
I believe in the power of Divine Mind to do for me all I ask or think. I believe in myself, in my future, in what I have and what I shall have. I believe in creative ideas. I know that the vision of today is the form of tomorrow and thus it has ever been in the progress of science and civilization. I am not afraid to launch my ideas out in the form of mental pictures, to build a world of dreams which are more than dreams. I believe that great good is coming to me because I am now demanding it and I do demand it. (Then form the mental picture you desire so that you may be ready to utilize it in concentration which will be dealt with in the following chapter.)

III, Mental Telepathy

Chapter III
Mental Telepathy

It is a truism of physiology that every cell in the body is in some manner connected with every other cell, and intercourse is established between them. In the same way, each intelligence or ego within the universal intelligence has contact with every other through the medium of mind. It is not my purpose here to dwell upon this at length. It can hardly be denied as an established scientific fact. I refer the reader to “Death and Its Mystery,” Volume I, by Flammarion: in which the author gives examples from many reliable sources including several Americans, among whom the most striking example is Thomas A. Edison. Maeterlinck’s “Unknown Guest” will intrigue the interest. Recently a great deal has appeared in the daily press about the experiments performed by Sir Gilbert Murray, regius professor of Greek, in Oxford University, England, in the presence of Balfour, Lodge, and other notables, in which the learned professor displayed the ability not only the read from the minds of his collaborators directs for finding things, but also was able to give correctly whole lines of plays which they had in mind, but with which he himself was unfamiliar. A Swiss gentleman named Lichtner has of late been touring this country subjecting himself to the examination of scientists in the demonstration of his ability to read the thoughts of others without physical contact of any sort and his literature bears a letter from Professor McDougall of Harvard to the effect that he had succeeded in his experiments. The adepts of India have long possessed the secret of thought-transference as was discovered by the British during the Sepoy rebellion when news of the result of a battle would travel three-hundred miles arriving far in advance of any means of communication of the intelligence department of the English army. It was discovered that the messages were transmitted through the adepts.

One does not need even to allude to the vast store of literature which can be found in the annals of “mental healing at a distance,” or the so-called “absent treatment” in America and England.


Illustrated in Physical Healing
I select one out of innumerable illustrations. This is the case of a gentleman who came to Ernest S. Holmes, a noted teacher and healer, complaining of a severe pain in the neck. Treatment was given after the metaphysical method employed by Mr. Holmes in which the healer uses the form of mental argument previously alluded to, followed by a state of mental abstraction in which direct contact is made with the mind of the patient. In this state it is possible to know whether the idea has been registered. In spite of all effort to establish the change of consciousness, Mr. Holmes says that he was unable to do so. Treatments were given several days without results. Then for a short period the man did not come to the office. One night Mr. Holmes woke about twelve o’clock, and as often happens, lay thinking of his work and patients and occasionally giving them a treatment. He thought of the man who was suffering from the pain in his neck and gave him a treatment. Having carried out his mental argument and declared that perfect health was established, he entered into the state of abstraction and was instantly aware that the treatment was registered and the man healed. He fell asleep and it was some days later before he saw the patient. When they did meet the first thing the latter said was, “I had the funniest experience the other night. At midnight on such-and-such a date, (mentioning the night on which he had received the treatment), I was awakened by the most terrific snap in my neck. The pain left me at once and I have been free from it ever since.”

Thousands of authenticated cases are on record, and the time is past when these can be swept aside by the airy wave of a supercilious hand. They are as scientifically established as the facts of wireless. Indeed they have a curious analogy to wireless, and, in general, we may say that as the wireless passes through the continuous medium which we call ether, so thought flies from point to point in the medium of Universal Mind. As the wireless knows no barrier and a six-foot wall has for it no existence, so too are walls unknown to the swift passage of thought. There are laws in the mental world corresponding to those in the material and a study of these analogies will be vastly instructive to the student of mental phenomena.

Our purpose here, however, is to establish the confidence of the student in the principles which he is called upon to employ. But knowledge of the law is not enough. He must use it.


Illustrated in Financial Treatment
Some years ago the author was devoting much of his time to private practice in Long Beach, California, and a woman came to him stating that she and her son were in the automobile business, but that they were not making money and were behind in their rent. Legal proceedings were inevitable unless the rent was paid. If a sale of what they possessed were forced they would lose practically all, including some cars, a cash register, and other equipment. Their only hope lay in voluntary sale of the business. We began the treatment by entering the subjective state of mind and contacting the Universal Intelligence. We then stated that there were those who would be able to handle the business successfully, that they would come to buy it and that the business was sold. Within twenty-four hours the woman began to receive enquiries and among those who came were two gentlemen from Pasadena. One of the partners was much pleased with the location, the other not. The woman came back to me and said, “Now we have those whom we can get to buy the business, let us concentrate on them.”

I explained that while we might reach the mind of anyone through the universal medium, still it was not morally allowable to attempt to exert any influence of a compulsory character.


Avoidance of Hypnosis
This is a principle which should be carefully borne in mind as it will save from much failure and disappointment. Many become very much enthused with the law of suggestion and metaphysical principles when they learn the wonderful power that can be exerted. They seize upon it as a method of compulsion by which a mind with superior knowledge can dominate a mind unaware of these laws. There was a time when some of the early sales psychologists trained the student in the development of will-power by teaching him to fix his eyes on the face of the prospective buyer and mentally affirm, “You will buy this, you will buy this.” Or to walk down the street and fix the eyes on the back of the neck of a pedestrian and affirm, “You will turn ‘round, you will turn ‘round.” If he bought or if he turned, it was supposed to be a result of the exercise of superior will force.

Christian Science has remarked upon this as malicious animal magnetism, especially when the object is to harm the recipient. There is no doubt that suggestions can be given which, if accepted, can do much harm to those who receive them. But aside from this, there remains the danger, to which everyone is more or less subject, of attempting to influence the decisions and conduct of another without consulting the latter’s will. It is a very subtle temptation for we flatter ourselves that we know better than they do what is good for them --and us. If we cannot enter into their minds by the straight and narrow gate of the conscious, we wish to climb up some other way. But a thief is a thief whether he steals sheep or robs a man of his independence. This is a thing to be remembered even when dealing with others for their supposed good; as when one gives another a mental treatment against his will or without his knowledge.

And failure naturally lies along this line for the simple reason that in attempting to influence another by suggestion whether oral or silent or in absentia you are seeking to impress his subconscious mind with an idea. But at the same time, the man in question may be impressing his own mind with an idea and one which is contrary to yours. As he is rather more “on the inside” than you, his suggestion prevails, yours fails, and disappointment is the result. Many such failures could be reported in cases where the operator has picked out some man whom he has felt necessary to his success, concentrated on him, declared he was necessary, and that he would do as desired.

No one person is necessary or should be thought necessary to success in life. Principle alone is necessary. The necessary is the absolute; all other is relative, and you are dealing with principle.

I explained this to the woman and declared that what we were after was a buyer, not any particular buyer. We continued therefore to maintain that there was a buyer. It shortly developed that the two Pasadena men went to another garage in Long Beach with the intent to buy that establishment. The Long Beach people were willing to sell if they could move into a down-town garage. The Pasadena men referred them to the woman I was assisting, and they bought her place and saved her from loss and bankruptcy. In this case three distinct parties were served without coercion or sacrifice.


Realization
I am in the midst of the one and only mind whose presence is everywhere as the order and harmony of the universe. In this mind everything takes place in perfect harmony. There is no friction of any kind. There is enough for all without robbery of any. Whatever I desire may be achieved in full accord with the desires of others. Space is unknown, distance is only relative, mind is continuous, and my thought can go wherever I send it. I am now about to set my thought into activity to the solution of my problem; and all things, people, and events, necessary to its accomplishment will fall into harmonious order and activity without compulsion of any kind. I realize that my problem is being worked upon by a greater intelligence, a more thorough-going wisdom, a stronger power, and that “no good thing will He without from them that walk uprightly.”

II, Metaphyshics and Psychology

Chapter II
Metaphysics and Psychology

The metaphysical movements which practice healing by mental and spiritual means are based on the principles of monistic idealistic philosophy, --the almost universally accepted philosophy of modern thinkers. It is monistic because it claims there is but one natural order and principle, one system and One God. It is idealistic because it explains the ultimate reality as spirit, and the world of things to be really a world of ideas. Every phenomenon has its noumenon, every form has its soul.*
*The reader may have noted frequent articles in recent news telling of the discoveries of Sir Jargadis Chandra Bose, corroborating this philosophy scientifically.

During the middle of the past century, at the time of the rise of modern metaphysical movements and applied psychology, the position of the religious leaders was that of dualism rather than monism. They taught, as many still do that there is both spirit and matter, but that the spirit incarnates in matter, uses and controls it for physical purposes, and discards it at death. The position of science was opposite to this. It taught that the origin of life is in matter and that there is no intelligence apart from matter. When the body dissolves, the spirit dies. This is materialistic monism because it believes both life and matter to be one, but life to be only a passing phase of the movement of matter.

An inevitable conflict arose between these two concepts and the battle between religion and science has been waged hotly from that day to this.* But the originators of the new movement which we call mental or spiritual science, came in with a new answer. They declared that the materialists were right in the statement that there is only one substance: but they affirmed the primacy of spirit as this one and only substance. They brought about an adjustment between science and religion by accepting the principle of unity advanced by science; and spiritual causation advanced by religion. This position is held today not only by the met physicists but by a large part of the liberal religious leaders of all denominations.
*The Scopes trial in 1925 over the teachings of evolution in the schools, which brought in William Jennings Bryan and other notables, is illustrative of this.

Briefly summarizing the principles of practical metaphysics we find

1. The primary nature of the universe is spirit. Jesus said, “God is spirit.” Moses said, “Beside Him there is none other.” St. John said, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God. All things were made by him.”
2. There is only one way spirit can work and that is by thought. Spirit is creative and creates by thought. “By the word of the Lord were the heavens made.”
3. Man is the child of God, sharing his nature and being, at one with him; and therefore he creates as God creates, by the word. The actual creation is the movement of mind upon the thought or word spoken by God’s child. It is the demand of the ego upon Principle, which creates accordingly. To speak the word is enough. Nothing else is needed.*
*This refers to the casual treatment. Much else is needed in the training of the mind and consciousness, as this book has sought to show.


Metaphysical Treatment
A metaphysical treatment, therefore, consists of several parts: (1) Statement of Being --the All-ness of God, Mind, or Principle. (2) Recognition of the divine unity by which man is realized as one with God or Principle, His child, sharing His resources, endowed with His power. (3) The elimination of all mental negative states, either by declaring that they do not exist in reality or that they have no power. (4) The utilization of the divine power by speaking the word of authority, “the creative word.” (5) The mental perception of the fulfillment of the desire --”belief that one has received it,” that is recognition by some inner psychic process that the idea is planted in mind, and that it is now the matrix of a new creation. (6) Gratitude.


Psychological Suggestion
A good deal of antagonism has been shown between the method employed by psychologists and that employed by metaphysicians, due to a misunderstandig of definition. The psychologist uses “suggestion.” The metaphysician uses “realization.” Or course with one type of metaphysician no reconciliation is possible, for he declares that the opposite of the desired good never was, never has been, and never can be, and that the desired good, --and only the desired good-- is, was, and is to be. His treatment therefore is merely a process of regaining his mental and spiritual eyesight. This position, nevertheless, is incompatible both with science, sanity, and sense. Creations are taking place, these creations have a beginning. The nature of the creation must depend upon the nature of the “word” that brings it into being. If this word is “destructive” is will get a result in kind: if it is constructive, it will get a similar answer.

Accordingly, a metaphysical treatment means the planting of a thought in the One and Only Mind and realizing that it is planted there. But if we turn back to Volume One,* we shall find that our definition of suggestion is the fixation of ideas in the subconscious mind until they are realized; or, in the language of Baudoin, the interpreter of Coue, “suggestion is the subconscious realization of an idea.”
*”The Twenty Secrets of Success.”

Metaphysical treatment may differ from psychological treatment only in the fact that it recognizes that the creative medium is not merely the individual subconscious but rather is the universal subconscious. In general, Psychology may be considered as the science of the individual mind, while Metaphysics as here used is the science of the Universal Mind. The individual mind may be likened to a plot of ground belonging to one owner. In this he plants his own seed and it grows what he plants. But the surrounding soil, the moisture and sun, the air and the conditions of growth are shared by all plots, that is, they are at-one with his.

Metaphysical treatment however engenders a stronger faith because results one seeks are in no way measured by his own “frail” ability, but rather a universal power is working on his suggestion or affirmation, with infinite wisdom backed by infinite strength. The power he uses is not that of an electrical battery but rather it is drawn direct from the universal dynamo.

The following statement embodies the principles we have just considered and is the form used by the author in his weekly lecture-sermon at the services of the Divine Science Church in the Waldorf-Astoria, New York. It is followed by a healing treatment which will be found in the last paragraph of Chapter V.


Our Principles
My faith is based on the Science of the Soul; there is One Cause, Spirit or Universal Intelligence; one method, Mind or Universal Law; one manifestation, body or matter, with an infinite variety of forms. Man is the expression of God, in spirit of His substance, in mind of His likeness, capable of understanding His nature and laws; and, by conforming to them, can subject them to his use, to the end of health, happiness, supply, and service to mankind. I deal, therefore only with Primary Causation and seek conscious union with Spirit that I may become identified with and directed by Divine Wisdom alone. The life of God is my life, without birth, without death, eternal and joyful. The love of God abides with me and blesses me and all mankind now and forever. Amen.

I, Power of Mind

Chapter I
Power of Mind

The Unity of Nature
While we live in a world of infinite variety of forms, still there is a fundamental unity which the more careful observer can find. In fact, the whole movement of modern science is in the direction of simplification and unification. In the world of so-called matter we find that in place of eighty-eight or more indissoluble and primary substances there is only energy and that each of these “primaries” is composed of a varying number of corpuscles of negative electricity held together by an equal positive charge. The difference between the primaries is merely the difference in the number and placement of these corpuscles or electrons. It is possible to change one primary into another as was recently done by subjecting tungsten to terrific heat, thereby freeing some of the electrons and producing helium. On the plane of matter, therefore, we find that the substance of which the universe is composed is one stuff --energy.

Turning to the question of simplification of “life” we find that the science of biology has demonstrated that all forms, however complex, are built up of myriad smaller forms each of which may be called a cell and has an intelligence of its own. As we study cell-life we are led back into ever-simpler forms until we come to what may be considered the “primary cell.” The evolution of life, therefore, no matter how far it has proceeded, has been development from primitive similar or identical cells. A cell is a combination of life and energy, or, putting it in a different form, a cell is a group of primary energies held in place by primary intelligence which we call life.

The thing to note about the foregoing facts is the principle of unity. Identity of nature indicates identity of origin. It is to be supposed that the origin of the primitive intelligence of the cell is identical for all cells, no matter how far they may have evolved. This is a very important principle as it denotes a widely diffused and presumably Universal Intelligence from which the primitive intelligence of the cell is derived.

The massive problem of modern science is the question as to whether the intelligence of the cell is the product of the energy, or the energy is the product of the intelligence. Here is the breeding-ground of all the disputes between science and religion, science usually giving the first for an answer, and religion giving the second. John Burroughs says that “life is a mode of motion in matter”* but he could not explain what that “mode of motion” is. He says that it is something that lifts up otherwise inert matter into organized form; but the very fact that it does it in one place and not another demonstrates that the original impulse is not to be found in matter itself, or else it would do it in all places, since the nature of matter supposedly is the opposite of intelligence which has the power of choice as to where it will “lift up” matter into form. The conclusion that life rather than matter is the originating impulse is rationally scientific because life is intelligence and intelligence may mean selection. In other words we cannot suppose that matter, from its very nature, has the power of selection as to where it will manifest a varied form; but on the other hand, we can imagine that intelligence can and does possess that power. Therefore the variety of form is the product of an ever acting and infinitely varied intelligence.
*”Breath of Life.”

It is necessary to take only one further step and that is to investigate the probable ultimate nature and origin of matter itself. We have found that the basis of matter is energy, but the source of this energy is to be sought. Analyzing the electron we find that it is itself not a “thing,” not a “particle of matter,” but merely a vortex created by the crossing of lines of force. There is “nothing to it,” in other words. It is not primary but a product, a state, resulting from the action of “higher forces.” What these higher forces may be has no answer from the standpoint of material science. It is and must ever remain a mystery to the materialist, and therefore the “science” of the materialist is based on a mysticism or an abysmal ignorance to which the science of the mystic is as a bright and shining light.

The Universal Subconscious
We are not taking up the defense of mysticism but we wish scientifically to establish that more of “the facts” are with the idealist than are to be found with the materialist, because the former is consistent throughout and his system is complete. For he declares that “lines of force” are the result of the play of intelligence; in other words, there is a universal intelligence in which all life and movement take place; this intelligence “thinks”; thinking produces a state from which the lines of force are derived; the crossing of the lines of force produce the electron, and so forth. The electron is the effect of consciousness rather than the cause. The effect cannot produce the cause, therefore the “material energies” of the cell cannot produce the intelligence that governs it. They can only obey it.

In the foregoing, lies the rationale of healing by metaphysical means whether it be by the method of Christian or Divine Science, Unity or any other movement. It also explains the method of the control of one’s destiny through the use of mental law in business and profession. There is a universal medium of mind. This mind is the source of all, the support of all. It is homogeneous, non-dissociable; everywhere present, as the life and energy of the universe. In it “we live, and move, and have our being.” As it is one it necessarily follows that all within it is of a similar nature. The intelligence of the individual mind must therefore be of the same kind. Or reversing the statement we may say that the intelligence of the Universal must, in its impersonal aspect, be of a kind with the individual.

We have already found what the impersonal aspect of the individual intelligence is like and we have called it “subconscious.” Without further discussion, therefore, we shall speak of the Universal Intelligence, from the standpoint of its impersonal activity, as the Universal Subconscious. We are not here concerned with its personal nature. I have discussed that at length in “The Law of Mind in Action,” and the larger part of my volume “Being and Becoming” is devoted to the subject. Our immediate concern is to note that there is a Universal Subconscious in which all mental action takes place even though that action has its inception in the individual. The word “individual” is itself only the designation of a center of consciousness within the Universal. When you or I think therefore, we are thinking within the circle of the Universal. “The center is everywhere, the circumference nowhere.” Whatever we think must spread like a ripple contacting other centers, other points in mind.

We have in the radio a picture of this. To the radio the ether is impersonal. Any message may be set afloat in it. You choose what you wish to broadcast, and the message spreads everywhere. In effect, the receiving apparatus may be anywhere. But messages of danger or of uplift, of warning or encouragement may be all around us, and unless we tune in on them we are as though they did not exist.


The Impersonal Nature of Universal Mind
Let us bear in mind the impersonal nature of the Universal Intelligence or Subconscious. To do so is to save ourselves from splitting on the rocks of religious controversy, and creating the false assumption that only those who have a peculiar religious bias can avail themselves of these principles in the cure of disease and the demonstration of plenty. In fact, we may think, if we wish, of the Universal Subconscious as intelligent force, able to accept, understand, and operate upon any idea given it; working it out to a definite and complete conclusion, but with no choices of its own as opposed to ours. So far as the individual is concerned the ancient adage holds good, “The Whole does not will, it is only the part that wills.” Or, as we find it elsewhere represented by the sages, “Law is no respecter of persons,” and “whatsoever a man soweth that (and no other) shall he also reap.” The just and the unjust alike receive sunshine, and the rain wets them both.

We thus see the Universal Subconscious or as the Middle Age writers termed it, “Anima Mundi,” may be looked upon as the refinement of force. Thus its employment is not different from the employment of other forces, such as attraction of gravity in running a water wheel, steam, electricity. It is merely the super force from which these are derived. Electricity is impersonal for it presents no objections to those who would use its power. It will light your house if you screw in a bulb, or it will knock you over if you stick in a finger.

The universal force will give its answer in the terms of the request. It is neither good nor bad; it is neutral and impersonal. IT IS. To attribute personality to it would be as false as to attribute personality to the individual subconscious. The individual subconscious is neither good nor bad and accepts without protest whatever impression is made upon it.

Is it true then that there is no Universal Goodness, no Universal Love betraying its presence throughout the universe and answering the cry of the hungry heart? To ask such a question is to show a misunderstanding of the principles here elucidated. Does the neutral and non-moral aspect of electricity prove or disprove the love or presence of God? It has nothing directly to do with it.

The forces of the individual subconscious are played upon by thoughts, ideals, and suggestions, and the responsiveness of these forces neither proves nor disproves the goodness or badness of the incarnating ego. The self is personal. The subconscious is impersonal. Conceiving of the ego as being able to be “good” or “bad,” we may say that a “good” ego will impress only “good” ideas upon its impersonal and creative mind; and because the ego is “good,” his choices will be always those that will produce a state of goodness in the subconscious. Therefore, the reactions or results will be “good” but the subconscious is only good by courtesy. Water is said to be “good” when flavored with fruit juices, and “bad” when flavored with bitters. But water is neither good nor bad.

In the same way we may be sure that the Universal Subconscious is good or bad only by courtesy. When moved upon by “good” ideas it is flavored with “goodness” and when moved upon by “badness,” it contains bitter waters. We may feel sure that all the ideas of the Dominating Intelligence to which the lower intelligence is “sub” --are good. In the larger aspects, the Universal Self is working out His great purposes and these are kindly and well-meant for the race as a whole. He is therefore the All-Good, the All-Loving, the All-Wise, and our hearts may and should be turned to him in adoration and delight. “Thou hast made us for Thyself and our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.” *
*St. Augustine.

But no amount of adoration and delight can cause the turning of a hair in the balance of the scales of justice which mete out to each the fruit of his own sowing. At the same time, to “practice the Presence of God is the best rule for a holy life,” just as the practice of love in the family circle is the best rule for domestic felicity. The atmosphere of a home is “good” when the thoughts, ideals, and acts of its members are good. So we, if we would express or demonstrate the best that life can give, must place our minds on the highest ideals which can inspire to thoughts and suggestions whose harvest is kindness, goodwill, peace among men, health, happiness, and success. And there is nothing which can so inspire those ideals as faith in and love for God.

This faith in and love for God, however, can be absolutely divorced from the idea of creeds and established religions. It is not Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Buddhist, nor Mohammedan faith. It may be any one of these or entirely apart from fixed dogma. It belongs to all. You do not need to change the “faith of your fathers” to get results. It is possible to get them without having faith in a personal God. “Whatsoever things ye have need of, when ye pray, believe ye have received them, and ye shall receive them.” To pray, then, in regard to things is not to wheedle them out of a reluctant God, please a sentimental God, arouse a slothful God, nor placate an angry God. It is to sow the seeds of faith or expectancy of the thing which you desire to demonstrate or bring forth into expression.

The New Thought movement is helping people.

Since I recommended New Thought proponents to help people, I thought I'd give an example of what the New Thought philosophy is like and how it's practitioners help people. Chapter One covers the theory. Chapter Two covers the method. Chapter Three gives two examples of New Thought philosophy and practice helping a physical ailment and a financial need.

Visualization and Concentration, and How to Choose a Career.

Fenwicke L. Holmes
Copyright, 1927 by Fenwicke L. Holmes


Foreword
The first volume of this series showed the nature and laws of the subconscious mind and how they may be used to bring success and financial freedom. The object of this volume is to show how the individual subconscious mind is related to the universal and how we may get Universal Force to work for us. We can never reach a goal unless we have a goal to reach. This book shows that the ego or self always has a goal, that it has come into this world for a purpose and how we may find out what that purpose is. Then if we go to work scientifically we can carry out that purpose; for all the forces of law, and our own nature will be with us instead of against us. Many of us are working against our own nature, and the biggest enemy we have is ourselves for we are standing in our own way. We are here for self-expression, and if that self-expression is denied, we are likely to be the victims of neuroses, complexes, mental wretchedness and consequent failure. The answer is therefore found in discovering our own particular genius and making the choice of a profession along that line. There is a way in which this can be done. It is the object of this book to show that way. Having discovered it, we find ourselves in harmony with the forward movement of Universal Life, Love, and Wisdom. Working with it we CANNOT fail.

Introduction to Volume Two of the Financial Freedom Series

Just as every cell in the body is related to every other cell, so every truth is in harmony with every other truth, every fact with every other fact in the universe. At the same time the world is in constant quarrel over what is fact and what is not fact, and especially at variance over the interpretation of facts. The advancement of science and the progress of civilization largely depend upon the simplification and unification of ideas and conduct, and the consequent removal of friction in the intercourse of man with man. The kingdom of heaven on earth may be conceived as the ideal state to which mankind may aspire in the words of Jesus when “they may all be one even as Thou Father art in me and I in Thee.” Science, philosophy, and liberal theology are definitely lined up to the advancement of this ideal, and their interrelationship is undeniable. In fact, we are coming to perceive that all phases of human activity must be of one fabric -business and religion, science and society, health and happiness: a man is one self engaged in manifold forms of self-expression.

Bearing this in mind I have for some years desired to write a new volume embodying some of the oral teaching I have been giving throughout America along the line of harmonizing some principles hitherto supposed to be at variance, having been encouraged to do it by unnumbered requests. Believing with Jesus that “where a man’s treasure is, there will his heart be also,” I have selected the field of Financial Freedom and shown how it may be secured through the employment of a law which obtains not merely in business but in religion, ethics, sociology, psychology, and in fact every form of human knowledge and action. It is a law which the devotee of any religion and the student of any business alike may use; indeed must use, and is using whether aware of it or not.

In this matter I have particularly sought to show the meeting point between two systems of thought which have considered themselves at variance with each other. I refer to the schools of applied psychology and practical metaphysics. The former has felt that the latter was too vague and mystical; the latter has held that the former is too materialistic, and hypnotic in method. But disaster has frequently befallen each through disregard of the other. Vast numbers of sincere men and women have lost faith and courage through attempts to win financial freedom or health by the employment of pure thought without the acquisition of technical and psychological knowledge. They have sought to win it by spiritual principle without mental practice or development. The promises made to them have often been too glowing; speeches have inspired them “with zeal but not according to knowledge.” They have been urged beyond the field of the present development of consciousness or understanding and, blinded by the sun, have fallen into a pit. The consequent despair of metaphysical principles and the abandonment of them altogether is one of the saddest chapters of the great new movement which should mean so much to the mind and heart of humanity.

On the other hand, there have been unnumbered others who have been “psychologies” with high expectancy and lofty promises whose fulfillment has been equally disappointing. Some, because the promised method was never adequately taught; others, because their first zeal was not backed with the faith inspired by the realization that no man ever works alone, but that back of him is the unlimited resource of a universal mind which understands his problem and bears within itself the solution of all problems, and to which he may transfer his burden. He has started out faithfully to daily affirm that he is “getting better and better,” richer and richer, happier and happier, but the “spell” did not last because he knew naught of the law by which he was to get better and better and he was uninspired by the joyous contact which with fuller knowledge might be made with the Heart and Mind of the Universe.

There is an essential harmony between these two great bodies of mental workers, and their cooperation and coordination will mean much to advancement of the truth they seek to utter. It is only through this unification that scientific fact can be allied with scientific faith, and the world, as a body, brought safely along the pathway which leads to spiritual vision and wisdom. And it is to this spiritual vision and wisdom that we must look for the emancipation of the race from sin, sickness, and poverty.

Fanaticism is unnecessary to the attainment of results. Zeal may be rational while fanaticism is irrational. Whole-hearted commitment to a principle is the very essence of success, but we may have whole-heartedness without intellectual stultification or the abandonment of sense.

Let those who have failed, therefore, to attain all that they had hoped for not lose courage or faith in the law but rather let them go back a bit, tracing again the path they have traveled to see whether or not they have followed the rules; whether their zeal has been according to knowledge. And when they find that the law is true but their use of it was wrong, again let them not despair. For it is possible to train the consciousness until we can rationally use the law; to train the mind to make better choices and to act more intelligently because we are better equipped with mental and technical skill. It is better to move slowly than not at all, and the acquirement of technical and mental skill is in itself a demonstration of the power of mind to open up the way to success.

My thanks are due to the thinkers of the past from the antiquity of the Bhagavad Gita to the latest writers on economics and sales psychology to whom I have assigned the appropriate recognition on the pages wherein I have quoted them as authority.

This book goes forth blessed by my desire to help all those who seek its counsel. The realization of your emanicipation is the treatment with which I endow this book. Let the “truth that shall make your free make you free indeed.”

PLEIADIAN TEACHINGS

These teachings, which proceed from very advanced Intelligences Who exist in the distant future of our Universe, derive from the early years of The Pleiadians communicating through Barbara Marciniak. They consider the frequency of Light to be the frequency of information, and herein is poured forth a great deal of Light which is intended to illuminate the all-pervasive darkness present on the planet and to awaken the star-seeded members of The Family of Light from their sound sleep in the collective illusion of this 3rd Density Reality. The information They provide and the perspective from which it comes is unique to all of the presently available channeled works today. It is laced with humor, startling revelations, sound advice, and instructions for rapid evolutionary progress for those who are able to recognize The Light that comes in this form.

Philosophical Advice:

"You are in the great debt of disempowerment or impotence when you use the word, should, because should implies that you are operating under someone else's sovereignty. We would like to remind you that you are sovereign unto yourself. If you do not prepare your molecular vehicle to be sovereign and to own yourself and to say 'no' to people that you mean 'no' to and to own yourself, then you will get lost in The Fracas that is coming."

"Trying is not doing. Whenever you use the word, trying, you will not accomplish. It is an excuse. 'Well, I tried to do it. I tried. I tried.' Use the words, intention or doing. 'I am doing; I am creating; I am manifesting; I am intending; I am bringing about'. Not, 'I am trying'. When all else fails, intend. Intention is probably one of your most powerful tools. No one wants to accept that your thoughts create your reality, and it is that simple. You need to intend, intend, intend, and then intend more, and let it go."

"Money seems to be an issue with everyone; is it not? You all have very definitive beliefs as to how money can come to you. The more you believe that you must work hard for money, the harder you are going to have to work. When you are allowing, Spirit will compensate you in a variety of unexpected ways. It is just that you don't believe it is possible."

"You are only responsible for your children when they are within your body (during pregnancy), because then you have the divine communication inside. After that you are simply a steward, guardian, companion, friends along the way. You are not ever to maintain ownership over another human being. You have made your children your slaves. That is maintaining ownership over another. Your children are not owned by you. You are to teach, from the moment that the cord is cut, that that being is sovereign unto themselves."

"When you were a child, you did not overly deliberate about too many things. You knew what you wanted, and you went for it. Become more like your children. They are wonderful teachers."

"We have given you (humans) a name. You are Masters of Denial. If there is one thing that you are famous for throughout the Universe, it is that you are The Masters of Denial. You teach many to deny what is going on around you. You know it is true. You all think you are human beings; do you not? Guess what, you are more. You are much more. You are so much more than you believe that you are. It is absolutely incredible."

"You are a result of your thoughts, and if there is nothing else that you are going to learn upon your planet, you are going to learn that that is the rule in this reality and the rule in many other realities. Thought creates the experience. So, begin to think of yourself in a capacity that is exceptional, that is magnificent, that is uplifting and that the rest of society is not going to agree with."

"Structure reality in a way that you are comfortable with it. It is not meant to be trouble. It is meant to be lived with excitement, with the joy of life, with adventure, having a wonderful time expressing yourself in every capacity that the body is capable of by bringing upliftment and joy. Go for it! Be outrageous! Do what excites you! Do the impossible! Climb those sheer cliffs and use simply your fingernails to pull yourself up. You can do whatever you want, and you will transform your world no matter what state the world is in."

"Give yourself permission to create your reality as you want it to be created without looking for approval from someone else, particularly parents, particularly a partner. Do what feels right to you, and if you find that you are going to drift out of relationships, so be it."

"It is imperative that you remember to say, 'In joy, in safety, and in harmony, I step into the unknown'. That right away gives the parameters of what your experience will be. You must begin to design what you want your experience to be."

"It is not your job to save the world. It is your job to evolve yourself based upon what you create within your world. As you are evolving, it does not mean that you are responsible to fix and save everyone else."

"There comes the finer aspect within manifestation of when your will is appropriate and where Divine Will is appropriate. You first create your will to use it and then learn when to bow down and let your will be released and let The Will of Spirit be merged with your will. That can be very difficult." (Not my will but Thine be done, oh Lord.)

"We caution all of you on bringing too much of the past into the present and making the present full of the past and doing this over and over and over again, because after a while it feels very good. It is an addictive type of behavior. When you cycle back through your old patterns, you are kidding yourself that you are making changes. You have to be able to drop behavior that is not moving you forward. Stop creating your future based upon what you have experienced in the past. Your future, for every one of you, is very, very different than anything you have ever experienced before."

"We like to remind everyone, don't give your power away to anyone. Love freely. Love yourself first. Love others, and use the world and everything as a mirror. Never are you to worship anyone."

"Say to yourself, 'I wish to be in impeccable knowing at all times. I trust that every decision that I make is the correct one and that I do not waste any time wondering or worrying about what I will do. I will simply do it when I feel like it, and that is it, in the moment'. As you start to say this and define yourself in this way, you automatically become this way."

"Live a quiet, peaceful life with conscious intent, knowing that just because all of your neighbors experience something else, you won't because you don't believe it. You can, literally, turn your land into a Findhorn, a place that can sustain you, by using the energy to grow things, by using the energy and pulling it into your body and intending its direction, directing energy, not following anyone's dictates to go here and do this or do that, realizing that there is a great gift coming your way. Direct it; use it. Make yourself an empty vessel to be available for this opportunity."

"The frequency of information, We say, is Light. The frequency of creation is Love."

The Prime Creator:

"We have said often enough that consciousness is within all things and that First Cause, The Prime Creator, God in Its own personal implosion through love endowed all things with consciousness and love. All things are First Cause on First Cause's Journey attempting to realize that."

"The evolution of consciousness and the ability to house information is what allows one to come into the proximity of The Prime Creator. Many people upon your planet have felt that they have merged with God. They have merged with a portion of God that best suits their vibration at the time. The Vibration of God would destroy all of you in an instant because you cannot house that much information."

"We respect Who you call God, and We refer to This One as The Prime Creator, First Cause. We would also like to add that there is more than one Prime Creator if you can conceive of that kind of vastness."

"The Prime Creator is always discovering that It is The Child of another Creation. It is a process of self-discovery of awareness. Remember, consciousness is within all things, and consciousness was never invented. It was. Even for Us, We are having our own cosmic awareness as to Who is Who in the ballgame of The Cosmos. Who God is is constantly being redefined and removed beyond what We thought it was."

The Tribulation:

"Time is beginning to squeeze itself up upon you, and if you do not act things can become moving into discomfort. You have a few more years before things are going to be so topsy-turvy and so hectic that at that point, if you do not live your life in the true eminence of light as you have volunteered to be, it could be too late. In other words, if you are going to procrastinate, then you will be washed into the undertow of the tidal wave as it comes, perhaps literally."

"All the stability and all the security that you have been trained to hope for in your life is going to be completely and totally unavailable. The whole pie-in-the-sky American dream is going to go down the drain, and it's a darn good thing because the whole pie-in-the-sky American dream is based on the solid 3-D material world."

"We will say to you that there will be a great exodus of the light workers from your cities. Properties that are high (in elevation), that are having the southern exposures, that are having their own source of water are going to be very, very much in demand but not so much for one person to live upon, because no one is going to be able to be sovereign completely unto themselves as far as being self-sufficient."

"It can be one of the most rewarding experiences of this lifetime for you to live in cooperation with a group of people who love the land and who get the land, The Earth, to respond. In loving the land and in letting The Earth know what you are after, The Earth will nurture you and take care of you. By having a communion of love and energy with the land, you can begin to create large blossomings and fruit yields on plants like The Project Findhorn (Scotland)."

"You are going to want to live surrounded by those who have a like mind. You are not going to want to be hours away from those who think like you. It is important to build a community of Light. When each of you pulls Light into the body and you come together, it magnifies and everything becomes much more effortless when you pool the source of intent together."

"You are going to need to work in cooperation to provide services and to share in the changing, the shift of consciousness. Many of those people, who are stuck in the cities when The Changes come, are going to be in great discomfort. As We see it, these communities that will be set up and which will dot the surface of your particular country everywhere will be a cooperation. They will be a test in living together. Many people will be challenged. There will be some difficulties that will come out because it will not be all flowers and roses."

"The technology that will be used in these communities will be technologies based upon love. There is nothing wrong with technology. The major stumbling block of technology on your planet is that it is used to separate and to manipulate and control Man rather than to uplift Man. Technology with love is the key. Many people will be given a great amount of inventions and information that will seemingly come out of nowhere."

"As We see it, there will be a tremendous underground market of inventions that will never be patented, that will never be shown upon the marketplace because you would be wiped out, snuffed out if it was known that you had this ability. There will be great trading from one community to another of these underground technologies that will do all kinds of things for you."

"As We see it, the most probable structures that are going to be the most influential in the coming times will be communities that will form on tracts of land that will be anywhere from 50 to 100 acres, perhaps as small as 25 acres. These groups may house anywhere between 30 and 100 people, and they will come together because they will respond to an inner knowing."

"The Earth speaks to those who occupy It. Whenever an area can no longer sustain you, it is nature's way of saying, 'Move before We really cannot sustain you any longer'. Pay attention to these kinds of things. In The Western Coastal Areas, many will be moved to move, to relocate, because of the pressure on the basic day-to-day existence in life. You will find that water will become a very severe problem on your planet. You will find that there will come a time where some people will be in line to apply for fresh water. There will be a fight eventually over fresh water all over your world."

"Believe it or not, people, there will come a time when you will shut the door on life as you now know it. Literally, you may give up the house that you have and walk out of it with perhaps a few possessions. You would be following Spirit. Spirit will come in and guide you to tell you what is the most important thing for your survival. Some of you, literally, in this life will stand on the threshold of your houses and look within, and it will all be meaningless because the most important thing will be your spiritual values and your life. And all of those material possessions and all of those collections of things and all of the bills and all of the life will mean nothing in light of what will be coming."

"Can you imagine the events that will be needed to move you to that action? These events are not going to be simply small events. They will be perhaps earth-shattering events, literally. What about when some major cities in The United States begin to collapse? How do you think that you would feel if you awake someday and you find that there has been a tear in The Earth from New York City down to Washington, DC? Enough to shake you up a little bit? Enough to restructure your life perhaps, to revalue? It will one day be nothing for 20 million to disappear in one fell swoop!"

"If you are going to hold onto your televisions and all of your possessions, your furniture, your paintings, your artwork, your trust funds, and all of these things, well you will struggle in 3rd dimensional reality (3rd Density)."
"Begin to realize that opportunity will be disguised as loss, and that will be a trial, an initiation that each of you must pass so that you can connect into a higher form of purpose with others that will add to your pieces of the puzzle so that you can create something grander. You are all going to be tested on what you are willing to give up in order to gain. You can count on that one as being a part of your spiritual initiation. Trust that something that you have clutched and clung to, that has held you back from growing because you did not want to release it will literally be ripped from you if you do not let it go."

"Trust that in some way you will be provided for, and follow your impulses. There is very little that you can do now to create financial security because the whole system is coming down, because the whole system is basically locked into the physical world, and it pretends that there is no other world except 3-D. Money says that there is only 3-D and that there is no other way of being provided for."

"In the years that are coming, putting your money into land would be very valuable. To put your money into tradable commodities would be advisable. If you are heavily invested or lightly invested in insurance policies, IRA's, CD's, the stock market, We would advise that you liquidate because that is not the place for your money to be. There is going to be a devaluation of your dollar. There is going to be eventually a heavy taxation of your dollar. There is eventually going to be an instigation of a new currency within your country, and eventually there is going to be a tremendous crunch, or so it is planned, that will come down upon the people."

"It is important to have as your primary belief that you will be in the right place at the right time doing the right thing. And it is important for you to liquidate some of the assets that you have. In other words, if you are heavily tied up in the different money schemes, if you wait too long, it is going to be shot. We have recommended that you invest your money in gold or silver, small bits of gold and silver, coins, etc. because these will grow in value as they become more and more scarce upon your planet. They are still the basic form of barter."

"The economic collapse will last for a long time. It is not going to be 1 or 2 years. It is going to be, historically speaking, a world-wide depression like nothing that this planet has ever seen. Through that depression will come self-awareness, self-empowerment, and eventually through that will come the inventions, will come the 'Divine Visitations'. The World Order that will come will be a New Cosmic Order upon your planet after much skirmishing that will occur within your skies. Your skies are going to be full."

"Intending that you will be in the right place at the right time, more than intending it, knowing it, will open you up to divine guidance. In the times that are coming, if you are going to depend upon the logical mind to analyze and hack to death decisions that need to be made in a split second, guess what. Your life may depend upon it, and you may find yourself instantly translated if you do not trust what you know (intuitively). Trusting what you know is imperative."

"You are in for your own personal evolution, and how that evolution is going to come about worldwide is going to be rather interesting. We are talking about the evolution of the species (Humanity). There will need to be some events to bring people to awakening, and that is why We have said that it is going to be your challenge to live your life with courage, the courage to live your light. Consciousness is building and building and building, and this is the time that was designed for it to implode upon the species."

"Always does the outside world represent to you what is going on internally. So, if the world is going to fall apart, what does that represent? It represents the falling apart or the collapsing of what is inside in order to create the arriving of a new system, a new energy."

"You are responsible for yourself. It is none of your business to 'save' anyone else, especially members of your family. Each person has their own free will. If you wish to assist others, family members in particular because this is going to be an issue with all of you, use intention. Have conversations with The Higher Self of the person involved.

"You are going to find a great outbreak of new diseases and discomforts on the planet. Many people will move into disease of the nervous system because the nervous system cannot vibrate with the higher frequency if the body is not prepared, if the light is not allowed to come in."

"You will experience a number of years that will seemingly be steeped in fear, in doubt, and all kinds of confusion and great discomfort, and illness will pass over a number of species upon your planet, meaning that many people will move into translation (death) of the human body or many people will move into sickness. The sickness of the nervous system will be the most prevalent disease of the times."

"The people of this planet were programmed for this time, and there is no one here, who is incarnated upon the planet, who can say that they made a mistake and that they came here not knowing what was going to occur."

"Part of what these times are involving and evolving into is that many of you will leave relationships, and many of you will come apart from friends and from families, from lovers and husbands and boyfriends and girlfriends because they are not going to live their light at the same vibrational rate that you are."

"Many power sites, many areas that are coded to evolve human consciousness are not upon the land masses at this time as you know it. They are beneath the surface. As a result of the evolving consciousness, there will be changes upon the surface of The Earth where things that have been in preservation will now be unveiled and uncovered, and the present antiquities so valued by your archeologists will be destroyed so that other things of greater value may come."

"We have said that holographic inserts, holographic realities are formulated, designed, and inserted into other realities on The Earth. It is as if your Earth is on a dimensional collision course, and a whole bunch of dimensions or probabilities are going to intersect one another soon. Some of these realities are going to be shocking, and some may involve encountering beings that you never even realized existed before. Shock simply alters the way you view reality. Whenever you are shocked by something, you can no longer grip reality the way you gripped it the moment before. Global realities will seem to come tumbling down only for those whose reality needs to crumble."

"The Earth knows what It is doing. When the earth's surface is polluted enough, The Earth will clean Itself. You are not going to destroy Earth. The Earth can clean Itself up by moving and shaking and twisting and covering up what is here and, in its own right, allowing this all to take place. The Earth takes care of Itself. It is going through its own Initiation."

Extra-terrestrials:

"There have been implantations within the human species that have been involved in the abduction scenario where certain human beings have been implanted in various places within the physical body, where a device has been put within them. In this capacity, these people are monitored. Not only are they monitored, but they are communicated with. It is the most effective methodology of communicating with the human species as it is at this time, and there are multitudes of types of implantations."

"Energy is being beamed to your planet by a sequence of Mother Ships that are making an arc or a large circle, an intersecting circle, around your planet. These Ships are beaming to you constantly energy that is coming from the deepest portions of space. These Ships are inter-dimensional Mother Ships. Many of them are in excess of 500 to 1,000 miles in diameter. They are likened unto small asteroids."

"There has been this tremendous influx of Mother Ships surrounding your planet. They are now acting as intermediaries or, perhaps let Us say, as literally transducers of energy. The beams of light that come to your planet come from old and ancient star systems, star systems that have been working with your planet for eons and eons."

"These beams are now being caught by quite a number of Mother Ships surrounding your planet. As they are caught by The Mother Ships, they are able to be filtered through an entirely different system and then to be blasted onto the planet. These are communication devices, and each and every humanity ideally is set up to receive this communication. As We said, many of the humans have an implant inside of them to respond to the communication and to bypass the psychotronic warfare and interference that would keep your frequencies jammed and keep you from being able to receive this information."

"Many of you will find that it will be like turning on your own radio. You will have a direct telepathic link with The Mother Ships that will be broadcasting to you. The wealth of information that will come will be of great reassurance. It will be a broadcast to fill you in on what is happening upon the planet when you are out of touch with what is happening upon the planet."

"Those beings that are surrounding your planet at this time, that represent The Higher Councils of Light, are all going to communicate with you through a capacity that you will interpret as knowings. Sometimes some of them will appear upon your television sets. Sometimes these communications will come over your radio frequencies. But most of all it will come through an inner knowing. It is that inner knowing that you are going to need to trust beyond all shadow of a doubt to be able to communicate with these entities."

"You will also find that the more trusting that you become with this linkup, this cosmic radio contact, you will be able through your own volition to manifest before you a Light Entity that will come physically and begin to teach you in the presence of yourself. Eventually, channeling will be a type of teaching that will be no longer, because each of you will be able to manifest your own Being who will teach you and any others that you wish to gather to yourself. This is the evolution into super-consciousness, the evolution into the highest aspect of your being, the portion of your being that you are attempting to remember at this time."

"Many of you will take trips upon ships. Many of you will be taken to various portions of your solar system. This is true."

"There are some space ships that will come into areas that will be of potential devastation and take off some (humans) and remove some from the planetary scene."

"There have been nuclear detonations stopped (by the galactic observers). You would have blown your planet up over and over again if there was not interceding. It has been going on for many, many years. Many times you have been interceded with because, first of all, you have been in the practice of exploding these weapons into space, and that was put a halt to rather quickly. It cannot be allowed. You have been exploding them underneath the earth's surface. You have been exploding them within the oceans. You have found extra-terrestrial bases decades ago and have exploded nuclear weapons on these beautiful places of being that were built underneath the ocean."

"In your Western Mystery Schools, much is based upon the secrets of what The Atlanteans remembered. In The Eastern Mystery Schools the secrets and information are based upon a manuscript passed down through families from priest to priest based upon a direct experience with extra-terrestrials. Every mystery that you study, every magic, every phenomenon or abnormality, will all lead you to an extra-terrestrial source, because you are their project. We call them 'creator gods'."

The Bird Gods:

"How many cultures honor a 'god' that is a bird figure? The Mayans, The Egyptians, everywhere you look you will find the wings of birds. Very often, these wings will be around a sphere that is represented as the sun or a planet. It is the old symbolism that says these winged beings came from another system. These winged beings are some of your 'creator gods'. They can take the form of man and bird combined. They are master geneticists. They play with genetics. They are one of the groups that helped formulate you."

"They have an incredible history. They operate with Light. They are one version of The Kingdom of Consciousness of Light. They have influenced many, many cultures in many ways. They have cross-bred themselves with other cultures. They have sub-split inside of themselves. They have worked with, around, and against The Lizards. If you look on the glyph walls in Egypt, in particular, you will see that many times the birds are faced in combat or faced in readiness against the serpents. Many times you will find the serpents as guardians twined around."

"Unfortunately upon your planet you have so convinced yourselves that Man is the highest form of consciousness that you have created a supreme delusion. Part of the shock that is going to come to this planetary system is that intelligence takes other forms."

"These 'Birds' play behind the scenes, and they take many, many different opportunities to teach you. They simply have not come into the picture yet. They provided part of the DNA for humans. They were master geneticists, master. They were able to use the DNA of many different creations to bring about a finer tuning, a finer instrument."

"Their representatives, the birds on this planet, are everywhere, in every land. The birds are the last ones to set the sun down and the first ones to bring it rising. And the sun, of course, is what? Light. And Light is what? Information. And We have said to you that these 'Bird Gods' come from the sun. They are really masters at creating themselves. Think about the birds on your planet. What species carries more color than the birds? What species is able to utilize the harmonics of sound? What species totally evolves itself either in the light cycle or the dark cycle?"

Food Awareness:

"There is going to be a great shift in food awareness. What is happening now is that the food supply is extremely toxic. That is why many of you are going to move back to your land and at least be growing what you need to grow in conjunction with your Earth. You will move away from fungicides and pesticides and fertilizer and all of these things because you will realize that these events have been simply a scam."

"You were told that this was the best way to farm. You don't need these things. You speak to The Earth, and you tell The Earth what you want. You speak to the bugs and the creatures, and you plant a little bit for the animals so that they have their own garden and let The Earth provide for you. When you are in tune with The Earth, The Earth will give you exactly what you need."

"You, as a species, have removed yourselves from eating food that nourishes you. You are eating dead food. Not only are you eating dead food, you are eating food that, as We said, is filled with toxins. You can transmute with your thought anything within your body. Your body is quite capable of transmuting even the harshest of poisons, however it takes a great amount of difficult swimming upstream to do it, and if you are going to expend all of your energy into transmuting a sloppy diet you will miss out on using your energy in many other ways."

"There will be new foods that will come upon your planet. There will also be substances that are going to come out of The Himalayas and out of The Ukrainian Area that have been used by people to maintain longevity and health for thousands and thousands of years."

"You believe that you must ingest a certain amount of food to feel nourished and full, when in actuality you will find that your eating habits will drastically change. The 'high spectrum' diet is what you will be eating in order to lift yourself up to a higher light spectrum. Many of you cannot ingest the meat products much longer. Also, there is more poison in the fish than perhaps there is in the chickens that are in the warehouses. It has been a big cover-up from you."

"So, if you are going to eat these things, eat them in small amounts, bless the food, bless the journey that the creature has been on to bring itself to your palate, and intend with clarity that your body is able to assimilate. There may come a time, and it may hit each of you at a different time, when with certain foods you will get very sick. You may feel as if you have received poison. If and when this occurs, bless it and look to it as a sign that you are ready at that moment to change your dietary practices."

"It is too bad but your entire food chain is rather polluted. Even the products of the garden are all irradiated and filled with all kinds of things, so it is difficult to find something that is nourishing. So, part of the diet that many of you are going to be led to will be back to the land where you will grow your own food, and you will eat very simply."

"You will find that when you begin to prepare your own foods and when you prepare them with love and share them with love, the food which you have grown, you will find that there will be a whole different vibration that fills your being. You will not have to starve because you won't need that much food. The closer you go to light, the less food you will need to eat. Not that you will stop eating, although that could come eventually, but you will not starve. You will find that a little bit will sustain you, because The Light Body, given the proper kind of food, can sustain Itself for long periods of time. There will come a time when food will not be required."

The Dark Forces:

"There are a few individuals who determine the course of history in this country (U.S.A.) and the countries of the world. Your Mr. Bush (H. W.) is a prime player and orchestrator of the game. He has been schooled from the time when his cord was cut as to who he would be. This is one of the grandest triumphs that these world movers have had to get someone the likes of him to be the president of this country. They have moved him from one position to another to get him to this place, and you would be best not to believe a thing that he says."

"Take it from Us, your government is up to all kinds of shenanigans. You can rest assured that your financial crisis is on course and that the institutions are crumbling as predicted and that there will be more and more without jobs, and more and more will be scapping and starving."

"The AIDS virus is a culling of the species. The awareness was first discovered in the late '50's, and between the late '60's and the early '70's within the scientific community in The United States it became quite clear that the population trends, as they were moving, could decimate the planet. So, what they did was create the psychotronic warfare and the biological warfare."

"The psychotronic warfare has to do with the various frequencies that are beamed to your planet, not only from satellites, but from different devices that are on your planet that control and can control your moods, your sexual appetites, your depressed or anti-depressed state, etc. AIDS was an example in mind control as well as germ warfare. Believe it or not, the big boys play hard ball. And when you get close to exposing it to the people you are eliminated."

"AIDS is a form of diseasement that has been put upon your planet as a plague. It is part of an extra-terrestrial manipulation to control the population in actuality. Those extra-terrestrials who control the planet are looking to depopulate the planet not to populate it."

"Many of you have no idea of the extent of developement that technology has taken on your Earth. It is, of course, hidden away from you under the title of national security. You have not been kept current as to what it is possible to manufacture and make."

"Anger is going to become a very prevalent reaction on this planet. Why do you think certain members of The World Management Team have foreseen this kind of anger among the populations, and why do you think there are certain legislations that are being passed to attempt to control people who get into this vibratory rate of anger? Much of this control is being practiced and utilized by forces that are on a psychotronic level. They will beam things on television to calm people down or change them."

"The television frequency is like a lock. The frequency is hypnotizing. It encaptures your consciousness, your intelligence, and then your intelligence cannot focus any other place. It is almost like being in prison. It imprisons your awareness so that your awareness becomes addicted to or locked into a vibratory rate, and it does not seek anything else. It becomes subdued, hypnotized."

"It will be discovered one day that all of those who have debilitating diseases in their body are chronic television watchers. Habitual television equates with discomfort and disease in the body. Additionally, what more than likely will occur is that broadcasts coming from off-planet will take over the air waves, and these televisions will be broadcasting whatever others want them to broadcast whether they are on or not. Those who want to utilize these devices can simply activate them."

"Those who are members of The World Management Team pride themselves on the job that they are doing running the globe at this time. They own and operate the media, and they decide quite selectively. You can be certain that they are very selective about the news and about what you are told. For example, the moon landing was an orchestrated event, and you have been on your moon much longer than your scientists and your television have acknowledged. When one owns the mind control machines, one can put any story on that one wants."

"Beings, when they wish to move your consciousness very quickly, they construct realities and insert them like holograms into your reality and create huge diversions, distractions, movement of consciousness instantaneously. That is what the holographic insert can be used for. They are done by extra-terrestrials. They are done in the cloak and guise of what is called religion. They are usually done to create a boundary under which you can be controlled, under which you can be operated."

"Gold will go up once the dollar is devaluated and once the new money is put on your market. There are plans to call some of the bills out of circulation. The larger bills are going to be called in. Once you see this coming, this is the beginning. We are seeing that once your larger bills are called in, first they will be given an even exchange, and then there will be some orchestrated catastrophe to exchange things further. Once the full thing is in orchestration and the new money is in hand, the gold will be very valuable. It will only go up and up and up. It will be very valuable because no one will have it."

"The plan is for a world economy. Yet that plan, as We see it, will never completely come about. However, all the events that are being orchestrated in that name are going to make life very interesting, and they are going to bring you to a place of awareness and self-empowerment."

"There is going to be a locking upon all funds within the banks. Those people who are looking to own you don't operate to any God. They operate through control and power, and they have so much money that it does not matter. They are simply wanting to keep people from awareness. You forget that these people who are in charge, who have been in charge for so long, are very aware. They have studied in the mystical circles. They have incarnated as their own children and their own grandchildren over and over and over again. They are some of the darkest people that have ever walked the surface of a planet, and they are going to be your liberators to light. They don't care. They are simply looking for control over the world."

"There are documents 12,000 to 13,000 years old that point to this time as the time of the battle between Light and Dark. And these beings will do everything in their power to act with impeccability their part."

"Energy is free. If your scientists could allow the revolution that is needing to take place inside of their ranks, and if so many who know would begin to speak up, there would become an overthrowing of all the industries, particularly oil (petroleum), that are completely unnecessary. Oil is completely barbaric. A monopoly has convinced the world that you need this, and you certainly do not. Lives have been threatened for bringing in alternate substances (for energy)."

"The politics within this particular sector of existence are far more complex than you have ever been led to believe. There is a branch of your World Government that deals exclusively with the politics of an inter-cosmic nature. This is quite real. Those who are presently in charge of your world, The World Management Team, are looking to see how they can further work to introduce these off-planetary consciousnesses into the existence of your Earth by allowing your Earth to meet its owners, allowing your Earth to meet those that have been controlling your planet."

"Your school systems were designed to discount your feelings and to discount your imaginations and to have you trained to perceive according to logic. There was a great plan designing your school systems. Energies 200 years ago were informed how to control the species through the process of education. The World Management Team of 200 years ago began to form your universities."

"The Solar Plexus (The Manipura Chakra) is the area of perception. It is the area that is without the interference of the logical mind, which the brain has been trained to operate in up until now. They didn't train The Solar Plexus area of the body. They trained you to discount anything within the body and not to trust it and to become suspicious of the imagination. We are saying to you that this area of the body is like a gold mine. It is a gift for you."

"The whole society is controlled by fear. There is a whole society that has been moved to keep their jobs based upon the idea of intimidation and that they need their jobs in order to survive. You don't need jobs to keep yourselves going. You can manifest what you want, but it is as if you argue for the limitations that your society has fed you with mind control."

"You can rely upon your ability to commandeer reality to simply bring you what you want, to have money manifest for you, to have prosperity, to have nurturing and security simply be available for you. Completely erase the idea that you need to work hard for it or that someone would tell you that you don't deserve it for free. That is what stops you from getting it. You have been programmed with the idea that you must work in order to be compensated."

The Family of Light:

"As members of The Family of Light you are sent on assignment to go in to alter a system. You have been trained to handle incredible amounts of energy. There are many individuals on the planet at this time who are specialists. The Family of Light is here in the millions. There are other Families of Consciousness. When the time is right, you will find that there will be many, many, many millions who will pool their energies together. Your assignment is to bust the system to make it available to have choice and then let the availability of choice begin to create a New World simply by bringing the potentiality to The Human Race."

"There is a combination, a collective of many energies who are working together now that The Earth has been found again and who are working to bring in the frequency of Light. The frequency of Light is the frequency of information. You came from outside of this system to go into it. You came from the future. There are Those whose job it is to assist an energy (a being) in the intricacies of inserting itself into a reality with all of the necessary built-in programs. As members of The Family of Light, you were inserted with certain plans. You were designed to respond to words, to energies, to faces, to smells, to artifacts, to many things. That is what it means to be encoded. You were programmed from the inside to react or to respond when certain outside stimuli hit you. There will be an ongoing communication to move you as Those Who oversee the planet use the plan of others to bring things about."

"You, as members of The Family of Light, were inserted onto Earth from the future back into time to alter a probability (of tyranny throughout The Universe in the future). You had to forget for a while about knowing that you are on assignment, because then you wouldn't play the part out very well. Perhaps you would be noticed, so you came in disguise, acting normal, passing as normal humans, always wondering why you were so weird and different from everyone else."

"When you begin to recognize yourself as a member of The Family of Light, you realize that there is a Host of Energy that has been quite aware of who you are for a long time. They have just been waiting for you to know it. Once you are certain of it, you can begin to have all of the assistance that you ever dreamed of."

"The Family of Light knows that the way you are going to spread data is by telepathy and energy. You don't need the media. You simply need to be keepers of frequency, to hold what it is that you know and then broadcast it out. There is no stopping it."

"Your job is to have a good time, to be clear about your availability, and to be clear about the assignment that has been given to you -- that you are a keeper of frequency and that you are here to defy the laws as they have presently been stated to Man. In other words, everything that you have been taught about this place, you are to defy. You are to defy everything, to change the paradigm that drastically, and you are to have a good time doing it. You are not to be overly concerned about the plans. Sometimes it is really none of your business."

"Without the insert of The Family of Light, your world is headed for destruction. First of all, it has been under control for all of this time. Without the insert from the future of The Family of Light, without the '60's to activate the codings of many members of The Family of Light, there would be a take over. You change everything by your presence."

"As you make a certain frequency available and as the humans make the choice for change, they begin to insert something into a reality that is needed millions of years into the future. They begin to stand up to a tyranny that has taken over This Universe far into the future where worlds are dying because there is no love. So, what occurs is that from this kernel in time We and many Others are instigating the erasure of a probable Universe where love and freedom are forgotten, where they have no context."

"We have said to you that you are multi-dimensionally seeded into different sentient civilizations and that, as members of The Family of Light, you often take roles where you are the ones who are striving to bring balance back into The Family of the dissenting extra-terrestrials (The Dark Lizards)."

"During these times, many people will learn to merge with their Future Selves. In other words, Beings that are you, that presently live upon other planets, that are in the employ of Galactic Councils, that work with you upon Earth and that communicate with you continuously and act as an intermediary between you and The Galactic Councils to fill The Councils in on the task that you have volunteered to do, are quite commonplace. You will begin, in the times that are coming, to awaken these memories as to the multiplicity of your own consciousness. This is what We call super-consciousness, to realize that you exist in many realities at once and that you can communicate with the other portions of yourself to empower yourself and to bring yourself to greater knowledge."

"Those of you who are tremendously knowledgeable decided to incarnate in the species to empower the species and to be an example for the rest who cannot do it for themselves. You asked for a tremendous amount of reminders, a tremendous amount of encouragement along the way. That is why We are here, basically."

"The Family of Light is supported by the frequency of love, as you are now beginning to realize. As We said way back in the beginning, the love frequency without the light frequency wreaks havoc. So, first came light, which is information. Then came love."

"You represent Light. You, literally, hold information that you are being designed to pull into your body and then disseminate into the world. You are what We call Reality Raiders, Family of Light, Guardians of Earth."

"Your brain has an outrageous capacity. You are operating, most humans, at the 5-6% range. The Family of Light is closer to 10-11% as they awaken. You will move into increased brain capacity by intention, number 1, and by drinking plenty of water, replacing the essence of your being, and by deep-breathing. Oxygen pulled into the system begins to feed the system and begins to awaken tiny fibers of light, light-encoded filaments (DNA). Loving yourself is one of the ways as well."

"As a Family of Consciousness, you have agreed to evolve together. This is your plan. Part of your plan to take over this planet, to raid this reality, is that the large majority of you come into simultaneous awareness. You are keyed for this."

"You are literally set up and guided into events. We don't want to demean your existence, but sometimes as Family of Light you are designed to be puppets, tools through which Higher Consciousness reaches you and works in a field where It needs a representative. In order for Us to be effective on your planet, the human vehicle is our way of anchoring our vibration more deeply onto The Earth."

"For a while you will be very anonymous. You are not meant to be on the front pages of your newspapers. You are meant to be cruising the back streets and alleys of this planet maintaining a completely anonymous identity, being guided and led through avenues of experience that you have no idea of."

"Now is the time to begin to network and to literally share what you have with one another. It is time to join forces and still stay anonymous, to work in a quiet certainty, to bring great conviction of purpose and meaning into your lives so that you can begin to perceive what lies ahead for you and to understand that as you command yourself to be protected, and as you command the safety of your experience, it is done."

"Remember that memory can be inserted. Some of you think that you have lived throughout the whole past up to your present. We would remind you right now that many of you come from the future and that you have memory insert."

"You are in disguise as humans, and each of you has selected a parentage that, through its own genealogy, carried vestiges or codings of ancient recessive knowledge hidden in the DNA. You all picked up recessive genes that made it easier for you to remember who you were. The rest of the population, in general, does not have this."

"When you open your body to Light, you open a flow of intelligence. You agree to perform a certain task, and you are constantly led to that task by other portions of yourself until you either rise or you are destroyed. You have the choice. You had the choice to open to Light or not."

"It is not your job to save the world. The world and The Divine Plans will take care of themselves. The Earth is going through its own Initiation. It knows what It is doing. It is you, yourself, that is to anchor frequency inside of yourself, which then creates a new global consciousness and makes it available."

"You must all learn to become in tune to the silent commands, to the silent teachings that will come to each and every one of you. We are simply here to remind you that We are the outside symbol of what is being directed to you in silence or in symbols, in any way that you receive the data."

The Major Chakras:

"The Chakra System is greatly overwrought within the human species. Most people on this planet are not in vibration past The 2nd Chakra. Most people are in the lower 2 Chakras of the body. They are not even in The Feeling Center (The Manipura Chakra), and if they do move into The Feeling Center, there is so much fear, they are so uncomfortable being there that they go back into the lower Centers which draw them to comfort in the material world."

"You must understand that The 7 Chakras inside of your body each have a certain movement that feeds information electromagnetically into the body. The rate of movement is the rate that energy is assimilated and run through a particular system. When you have Chakra Centers that are shut down, energy does not flow through easily. It gets stuck. It gets blocked, and then sometimes you create difficulty on and around the stopped up, blocked energy by creating dramas and issues, etc."

"Through prana, bringing oxygenation into the system, breath enters the body in a vortex, in a spin, so that when you deep breathe and you oxygenate the system and bring this spinning aspect into the body, you automatically remind The Vortex Centers to spin themselves. Prana activates The Centers."

"Toning automatically increases the spinning of The 7 Chakras in the body and The 5 outside. When you tone, you spin all of The Chakras at once, and you open a funnel so that information can flood into your body. You become, when you tone, incredible broadcasting vortices of energy."

"If you would love and honor The Feeling Center (The Manipura Chakra) and honor the emotions for the richness that they can share with you, then once you open The 3rd Center and you really allow yourself to go into the depth of your emotional expression and your emotional history in this body, then 3 more strands of DNA will come in automatically, because you will have activated a completion of a blueprint."

"Then you work with the next 3 Chakras, The Heart, The Throat, and The Vision. This has to do with tremendous trust, trust that no one is going to break your heart, that no one is going to destroy you, having compassion for what everyone is creating for lessons, trust that you can speak out and that nothing is going to harm you, and then trusting the visions that come to you."

"Then you are ready to connect your physical body with the non-physical Energy Centers (Chakras), and this pattern opens 3 more. You work with an energy that is of a glorious nature, honoring the self, working with the auric field, and moving in and out of the body, then moving off the planet and viewing the planet as a collective, as a whole, as a community, as a body of intelligence, because you now see it as you are on it and off of it. Then you connect with The Solar, The Galactic, and The Universal (The 10th, 11th, and 12th Chakras)."

"Anything that is associated with a Chakra Center that you are afraid to experience or that you have a block on comes up. The Base Chakra is survival. The 2nd One is sexuality and creativity. The 3rd One is perception, power, will, and feeling. You can see that most people are working on The First 3. You can't hide from yourself what these energies are."

"When you pull energy into your body, you literally are asking to be illuminated in your blocked areas. When you pull Light into the body, you are shining The Light on what you are hiding from yourself. So, almost immediately what you are hiding from yourself or what keeps you from growing into greater awareness you outpicture as a drama outside of yourself."

History Lessons:

"We have said that you hold the history of The Universe in one cell (see "The Living Library"). The history of your Universe is within your physical body, and you are all, as a species, being biogenetically altered by beings who created you, by beings who redesign your DNA at periodic junctures within your history. Sometimes it is 5,000 years. Sometimes it is 25,000 years."

"Remember, there have been civilizations that have come onto your planet 900 million years ago for one example. You are Modern Man as We call It, and Modern Man has been fooled with and evolved with for hundreds of thousands of years."

"There are civilizations that are very deep beneath the polar ice caps. There have been a number of digs, and there has been much scurrying of information, and there have been discoveries that have been made, particularly in the southern polar cap, in Antarctica, that no one is going to breathe a word to you about. That is why there is so much international activity around The Antarctic Area. There are many digs that have gone on under the ice because many things have been discovered. Many things were picked up through your technology, through satellites and the reading of infra rays."

"In The North American Continent there have been ancient civilizations. There are many ancient sacred sites in North America. The consciousness of this country is not evolved enough to make sense of the story, so that anything that would be uncovered would be unrecognizable. In order for many of the mysteries in your North American Continent to reveal themselves, consciousness must evolve and demonstrate greater responsibility."

"There are metallic capsules that carry great histories of what has gone on on this planet, and some of The Earth Changes will bring them to the surface, and they will fall into the correct hands. Rest assured. Everything has a plan."

Ascension:

"Many of you will make an extraordinary leap off of this planet, and you will participate, when you leave this planet, in The Ascension Process. We can convince you of many things, yet it is difficult for Us to convince you of the idea that you do not have to physically leave your body behind here upon this planet. Conceive of the idea that you will simply change the vibrational rate of the physical being and take the body with you because you have rearranged the molecular structure."

"Some of you have already Ascended off of this planet, and you have come back to do it again, to show the way. If you consciously knew in this moment what it would be to Ascend, you would get the hell out of here now. That is why you have forgotten. The veil (of forgetfulness) is very important. It was a grand journey to get out of here with The Ascension Process in the first place, and it took lifetimes of training, one upon the other, to bring yourself to dedication, not living in material society, basically living very close to Nature to do it, being very committed."

"It is your goal to Ascend off of this planet and to be taken, literally, up into the higher cosmology of Ships, of Mother Ships, into The Cities of Light and to be able to dwell in the other realities that are all around you that you simply do not permit the 3rd dimensional eyes to see. This is the goal upon this planet. There will come a time when that will be the only way that the people who live upon this land will depart from it."

"Once you make The Ascension, you are not going to want to cruise back here for a vacation more than likely. Once you get off here you are going to go to many other places. The first large grouping of Ascension will come off the planet perhaps in 60 to 70 years, which would put you to about 2040 or something like that. Don't forget, there is going to be major turmoil and confusion up until 25 years from now."

"The Ascended Masters come onto your planet and They defy the existing paradigm. They ascend the laws of Man, and They begin to perform what you call miracles. They are sent by The Family of Light, by a certain Collection of Consciousness, to be a catcher and a keeper of frequency, perhaps where no one else is catching and keeping frequency. They literally transform Themselves, and They create transformation in the worlds that They are sent to."

"In your case, We are talking about Ascended Masters like St. Germaine. This is One that you consider a Master. There are many, many Others. These come in and They create by intention and by communication with the off-planetary Sources. They literally mutate the body by receiving energy, and they transform Themselves. This single-handed transformation of a sole Individual then is able to defy the laws as you know them, and when They leave the planet They are able to create a spin of the molecular structure and move Themselves into another system of reality."

"In ancient times when The Ascended Masters were originally playing the game upon your planet, They needed to be alone. Many of these Higher Energies were alone in caves in Tibet, because that was the only way that They could literally receive, for They did not have the distractions around to keep Them from having the free-flowing knowledge that comes through. The rocks acted as a protector and as an energy transducer to bring the energy into the body. Beings in ancient times had to be alone to create the electro-magnetic pattern and anchor it into the gridwork of your Earth."

Sound:

"What sound does is that sound brings about states of emotional feeling. Sound is going to be a vehicle, a conduit to connect you to The Higher Chakras (8th to 12th) ouside of the body, because you do not have a way of accessing them with the logical mind. You must access these Higher Chakra Centers by feeling, and sound will connect you with this feeling. Certain combinations of sounds played through the human body unlock information, unlock frequencies of intelligence."

"Breathing, movement, music, releasing sound, harmonics are ways of utilizing energy, of allowing energy to flow through you without stopping you up. When you go play sound (music) it means that you are ready to transmute realities, to bring a higher reality in. It is very good, and sound has been utilized to alter your consciousness, e.g. Gregorian chants and Tibetan monks."

"Believe it or not, there will come a time when groups of humans will come together, perhaps in the thousands, and they will be directed to merge their consciousness together in certain ways to create realities by chanting."

"Many of the understandings of matter upon your planet have been forgotten. In the later mystery schools, the last 2,000 to 5,000 years, there was but a fragmentation of the real understanding and the power of sub-particle (sub-atomic) physics. In more ancient times it was understood that part of the law of manifestation, part of the laws of creation had to do with the sub-particles which were ruled by consciousness, which were ruled by thought."

"There were abilities to create harmonics through motion, and stone could also be moved by a variety of motion that was created between 2 people, almost as if they were dancing with each other. This was also used to move and create structures of form (the pyramids)."

"Toning is a safe place to feel, and feeling evokes emotion, and emotion connects you to your Spiritual Self, your Self that is beyond the physical body. It allows you to access The Spiritual Self which you must do to realize that you are multi-dimensional."

"The set of 3 evolving DNA helixes which is multiplying itself into 12 helixes eventually, once these helixes begin to come into their own blossoming, their own multiplication, mutation inside of the human form, they need the human harmonics of sound in order to translate the information because the information goes far beyond the senses."

"By having these 12 helixes (the 12 strands of DNA) that are coming about, that correspond with the 12 Vortex Centers (Chakras), 7 within your body and 5 outside your body, each helix is a ladder of consciousness or an organization of light-encoded filaments inside each one of these Centers. What Humanity needs to do in order to reach the next level of opening information on the planet is to learn how to harmonize with 12 helixes evolved in the body and to plug into information that comes from outside of the logical mind. At this time, you can utilize harmonics (sound)."

"Sound is one of the purest means to transmit intelligence at this phase of your developement. You must break the boundary that, in order to transmit intelligence, your logical mind must be able to recognize intelligence. That is incorrect. You must recognize that frequency (of sound) carries intelligence. And sound can be utilized in many different ways to create all kinds of alterations of consciousness and healing amongst individuals."

"You can use sound to heal a rift between individuals. You can use it to create a healing between individuals. You can use it to create what would be called a sexual frequency, long distance, between individuals. Eventually, all healing will be done with sound. Healing will be discovered to be a realignment of the codes based on certain master numbers through sound."

"On an atomic level, every atom has primordial sound. Every atom is constantly toning itself into existence, into connection. That is why We encourage you to tone various sounds without judging them to your conscious cells, because after a while you hit on a tonal combination that aligns you with certain frequencies. You can go into great altered states with toning if you let yourself go, if you let yourself do it."

"When you release sound, only to your ears does it have an ending. Only to your ears does it have an ending. Feel that. Whenever you are going to make sound, for whatever reason, put an intention with it. You can do all kinds of incredibly wonderful things with sound. Sound helps build a bridge of intention. Intention, if you notice, weaves itself through everything that We have done and everything that We have guided you through. Intentions narrow possibilities. Your Native American Groups always used sound with intention."

"In the ideal, birth and death are accompanied with sound. With the production of sound, an energy (a being) can move from one system to another. Sound, when the child is coming in (birth), will allow an energy (a being) to ride a frequency into this reality, to follow sound. Death is the exact same thing."

"You will find that this will become accepted after a while, this whole idea. Your whole society does everything possible to prevent you from dying, as if it is bad, so anything done to promote death is associated with killing. Most individuals know when their death is pending. There is inner knowledge about that particular event. A musical accompaniment can assist individuals in finding that time rather than fighting the whole process. It is not morbid to help others die."

The Moon:

"The Moon is a construct. It is put in space as a monitoring device, a device that balances, feeds, and alters your consciousness. It is a device that was orchestrated and put there by some of your 'creator gods'. Throughout time, this has been part of the deep mysteries, that The Moon is utilized as a transmitting device. And when The Moon is in darkness, The New Moon, it is a time of incredible broadcasts, the same as when it is in the fullness. The Moon is capable of sending holographic broadcasts."

"Your Moon is not what would be called a natural heavenly body. It is put there and anchored there, and it is a relay station. It is like a gigantic satellite. It is a base that intelligence can operate from. Moons can be thought of just like the forts were on the edge of the frontier in the days when The West was being developed. Moons are like gateways to the frontier of the planetary area that they protect or that they own."

"The Moon or any Moon around a system is part of the main computer that holds the data base. It broadcasts frequency and establishes certain boundaries within certain planetary realms. If a planet was to have many Moons, then you could figure that there were many realities and many different systems being established on one particular world."

"The Moon is a construct that helps keep the electrical 'frequency fence' around the planet. When someone owns The Moons around a planetary sphere, The Moons are the broadcast units that direct energy (beings) in and out of the portals. In other words, they created something that operates the portals. The Moon can be programmed to operate the portals in different ways."

"The satellites that orbit a particular body set the electro-magnetic frequency range that life exists within, all biological life. Animals know that they are fed data and that there is a life force that moves between them and The Moon. They hear what you do not hear, and they respond back to it." (wolves, etc.)

"Your scientists have made numerous trips to The Moon. It is quite easy to take a shuttle to The Moon and explore it and come back. It is not something that you are waiting to develope. It is something that is already there."

Human DNA:

"The light-encoded filaments (the DNA) that are a source of intelligence inside of your body were disseminated or scattered a long time ago (genetically re-arranged from 12 to 2 strands)."

"The present evolutionary system, as it has been preordained and designed by the 'creator gods' to step you up a number of dimensions and a number of frequencies, is based upon the evolution of 12 helixes corresponding to 12 Chakra Centers. It is simply the way it plugs in."

"Even though some will be functioning with these 12 helixes in a short time, others around the planet will not be receiving it until much later, because they are coded to be given the frequency when they are capable of integrating it. As the helixes come in gently, full force in some and perhaps gently in others, it gently begins to awaken the person to inner knowledge, knowledge that goes beyond what one has been taught, knowledge of Self, knowledge that says there is much more than this physical world."

"As the light-encoded filaments reform themselves and begin to broadcast what they have available, the nervous system must be able to carry it and translate it. Why do you think that the brain has been dormant all of this time? Why do you think you have been using such a small percentile? Because the DNA was unplugged."

"There is an unfolding that will take place so that eventually you will begin to bring about the full use of the human brain. You can extend your life by hundreds of years. You can move the body into complete rejuvenation that is unheard of at this time, and you can come into complete operative ability with the DNA in complete alignment of 12 strands, operating with full brain capacity. Furthermore, the DNA is not simply for your physical vehicle. The DNA gives you the history of The Universe." (see "The Living Library")

"The ability to commandeer a human vehicle (by other sentient beings) is now much easier because of the unplugged DNA, because the brain cells are not in operation. The brain is shut down. You are only using a very small portion of the brain, therefore you are very easily taken over sometimes. When you are in full operative form, when you have your 12 strands of DNA and you are plugged into The Energy Centers (Chakras), it is no easy feat to take over the vehicle of a human."

The Pyramids:

"The Great Pyramid in Giza is utilized for many things. It is definitely an operative in many, many dimensions. It is definitely an operative as far as bringing in intelligence, transmitting communication, and altering and coding the biogenetic structure of Man and Solar Man."

"Your pyramid structures were placed together by sound, by other uses of technology, and by placing these stones together to formulate this receptor or receiver of information. Information was put into all of the blocks, into the ways that the blocks were placed together, information that is on a vibratory level."

"Of course, the technology came from off-planetary beings. Everything on your planet has been given to the planet from off of the planet because the planet is a project. Yes, it is a project. It is an experimentation. You have 'gods' who created you. Those 'gods' are toying with your consciousness big time. They are coming back, many of those 'creator gods', and their stories are written all over these places of power and these temples."

"The Pyramids are far, far, far more ancient than any history book has indicated. There are workings that began over 20,000 years ago in that area (The Giza Plateau). The pyramidal structures that are presently there, some of that was completed 10,000 years ago, and it is above what the real discovery is underneath. No one is even realizing that the pyramid's capstone is well in excess of 20,000 years old. There are Halls of Records. There are ancient, ancient forms of information that are recognized and known by only a few in The Western World."

"Imagine all that has been left in antiquity by the dusts and the sands of time. Imagine if it were to be inundated by water. What would be revealed beneath the sandstone, beneath the granite layers, beneath the washed away mud and dirt and silt would be layers and layers and layers of a project that is called The Nile that for eons has deposited and protected the temple sites, the palaces of the 'gods', the genetic operations centers, and initiation centers."

"Just as you go there and you think you see these incredible sites of temples and glyphs and pyramids, We are saying that these sites were built in the more recent times, 20,000 to 5,000 years ago, over other sites."

"On the walls of the pyramids, all of the balls upon the heads of figures were a statement of the planet that they were from, the portion of the solar system, and each one represented its Collective of Consciousness. Many of them were in the guise of animals. It is only later on that Egyptologists said that they were only symbolic representations. No. They were literal translations." (the animal figures)

The Endocrine System:

"The endocrine system is vastly misunderstood and underestimated inside your human body. If you follow some of the more hair-raising stories of ET participation upon your planet, you will understand that they insert themselves to raid or to borrow portions of endocrine functions. They understand the importance of it."

"Within these endocrine locales (near The Chakras) in the body, there are bundles of energy. When these energies begin to move around systematically, smoothly, at different rates, they begin to create harmonics within each other, just like the harmonics each person creates with sound."

"When you begin to spin these different systems inside of the body, the body creates its own inner harmonics, and it accesses different frequency modulations that vary the degree of the carrier wave which transmits intelligence. So, what you are doing in all of these things (like spinning, deepbreathing, toning) is that you are stepping up your intelligence. It is not so much that you will perform to a greater degree in the logical world. You will perform to a much greater degree in the world of intuition, in the world that is based on knowing, not in the world that is based on outside validation. Speeding up these Vortex Centers (each associated with an endocrine gland) brings this about."

Animals:

"You do not understand that animals were designed and they operate in a capacity that humans have no idea of. The animals are utilized by other forms of consciousness to monitor you, to check you out, to read your energy. They are outreaches of consciousness that function on a frequency that you do not even recognize exists."

"They can be said to be spies upon you sometimes. Some were given here to become companions. Some evolved to become the dumping ground for your emotions, your pets. Some evolved to become what you believed you needed for nourishment. In this day it is sad that those that you believe you need for nourishment are the most ill-treated and mistreated animals on the planet. What does that say about your right to nourishment? We would think that all that you would ingest you would want to treat with the highest regard."

"Even though animals demonstrate an innate ability to take care of themselves far better than Man can on this Earth, that ability is continuously disrupted."

Mars, The Guardian:

"At one time, Mars was The Guardian of The Earth. The Earth is a Library (see "The Living Library"), all right? If you want to take something out of the library or go into the library, you have to go to the front desk. Mars operated as that. It operated as a dimensional opening through which one first passed before coming to Earth."

"Mars, at one time, was The Protector of Earth, because Earth was the jewel, The Library, and everything was stored biologically in The Library, so that if anyone came here and they didn't have the right codes or master numbers, by the time they found The Earth they wouldn't understand what to do with It."

"The cities that are on Mars, the face, the many pyramids, the tunnel systems, the many artifacts discovered are known now by your scientists to have a certain relationship, one to the other. There are constructs that lay out a gridwork, a pattern, and they create geometric shapes. You will find parallel sets of artifacts here upon The Earth. They are in The United States, Mexico, Central America, and The Southern Continent and will be uncovered at the proper time."

"Another place of great, great mystery where you have many parallel artifacts is underneath the polar ice caps. Your scientists have been able to use certain equipment that can scan what lies beneath the ice, so there has been much excavation and much tunneling and many things established that allowed certain energies (humans) to tie in Antarctica to what is going on on Mars. There is great secrecy about what is going on there."

Sacred Geometry:

"Geometric shapes are simply symbols. A Higher Intelligence (Higher Being) is the symbol. The symbol is representative of a Higher Intelligence. When you use the geometric shapes, you symbolically call The Higher Intelligence whose sum total of identity is that sacred geometry."

"For example, each of The Ascended Masters, throughout the course of earth's history, penetrated the frequency control here on Earth and with great diligence and great commitment evolved beyond the system and became a Master of Ascension, moved beyond the lock. Each One created a language form, a sacred geometric shape that was the sum total of their knowledge, their essence. (e.g. The Maltese Cross and St. Germaine) When you use these shapes, you are literally receiving the shapes from other forms of Intelligence, forms of Intelligence that really transform reality."

"The sum total of experience of an Ascended Master is a form, a symbol that We call the language of light. It is made up of a geometric shape. Each One of Them has their own symbol for transforming realities. These geometric shapes literally share their intelligence, the sum total of Who They are as They are anchored onto the planet."

"To encapsulate, geometric shapes are the symbolic representation of a Collective of Intelligence, what could be called The Ascended Masters, Supreme Beings Who transformed Themselves on your planet and created a language of light geometry based on the sum total of what They know about transforming reality."

"Each geometric form represents a specific form of Intelligence. Each geometric shape is the symbol of a certain Collection of Intelligence (Gestalt of Consciousness). Certain shapes have a more gentle energy. Certain shapes are the beginning shapes. The tetrahedron is one of the primary shapes of intelligence, a symbol of a language of light geometry that has its own intelligence."

"Crop circles are another version of this sacred geometry. The crop circles are made by sound as geometric memory teasers. They allow the geometric shapes to come into your system because those crop circles create a frequency all over your globe. They are a language."

"You are coded to look at these crop circles and respond to these things. You will find that there are certain angles that will literally have a master code within the angle based upon the combination of adding certain numbers of the angles together. It is a very complex communication system of intelligence. It was utilized in India eons ago. It was utilized in many of the ancient civilizations. These angles communicate something. When you see one of these forms or you see a photograph of it, it's like firing a code so that your body literally remembers something."

"In your reality, what you consider to be master numbers are 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, etc. They are numbers where the digits are the same. There are combinations of master numbers based on angles of geometry that access codes of intelligence."

"These geometric shapes hold combinations that make codes when they are combined in certain ways. And codes are needed to create certain forms of life and to create openings through doorways. The master numbers are needed to find one's way through a black hole and to enter many different dimensions within this particular Universe or to even go into other Universes."

"What you are going to have in your homes to stimulate you will be geometric shapes. They will be energy balancers and, as evolving light beings, there will come a time when every one of you will have these geometric shapes in different places around your home to teach you to pull in a blueprint so that it affects your body. You are locking into something beyond logic that your body knows, that your conscious human being cannot rationalize."

"The basic geometric shapes are implanted into the body. What they do is that they assist the body to remember its identity, and that creates a healing. When the sacred geometry is used in this way, it is like inviting The Intelligence into your body. The gentle, easier ones are used first to open you up and connect you. Later on, they are more complex, and they create a changing of the endocrine system in the body so that there are new secretions and new chemical substances that are unheard of at this time and that will create a chemical reaction to evolve the humans."
