34. (Q) Would you advise any particular books or line of study at this time?
(A) When a soul, a mind, sets out to seek, that which is necessary is put in the way. (264-44)
02/14/1935
5. (Q) To what extent are the Masters of the Great White Brotherhood directing the activities of Edgar Cayce? Who are the Masters directly in charge?
(A) MESSENGERS from the higher forces that may manifest from the Throne of grace itself.
6. (Q) Who are the Masters directly in charge? Is Saint Germain - [Comte de (c. 1710 c. 1780)?] -
(A) (Interrupting) Those that are directed by the Lord of lords, the King of kings, Him that came that ye might be one with the Father.
7. (Q) Is Saint Germain among them? Who is Halaliel?
(A) These are all but messengers of the Most High. Halaliel is the one who from the beginning has been a leader of the heavenly host, who has defied Ariel, who has made the ways that have been heavy - but as the means for the UNDERSTANDING. [Isaiah 29th chapter?]
8. (Q) Is Saint-Germain among them? [GD's note: I understand the Ballard I AM movement was based on Saint-Germain.]
(A) When needed. (254-83)
08/13/1941
45. (Q) Is Virginia Beach to be safe?
(A) It is the center - and the only seaport and center - of the White Brotherhood. (1152-11)
04/02/1929
12. (Q) In occult chemistry [see: Annie Besant/C.W. Leadbeater] it is given that force was begun in the interstices or bubbles in space and therefore space is the negation of force or matter. This being so -
(A) [Interrupting] This is just what has been explained here, in how these negations are formed in that as is called a bubble or becomes a sphere, in its attractibility to the forces as are in constant formation within our own sphere, see? That's the creation of worlds that's the creation as is kept in force, see?
13. (Q) [Continuing] This being so, gravity drawing everything to the center according to density, there comes a position from without a planet where space and lightest etheric matter meet - and the planet together with its atmosphere revolve through space. The planet, consisting of all degrees of vibrations - even to lightest etheric matter - have no relationship to space. An example somewhat similar on objective plane can be given as to the passage of etheric matter through what we term as solid substance. Is this theory correct? Gravity acting through space on everything has no action on space itself?
(A) That's the atomic theory! That is the theory as is seen - not theory, but the actual conditions as exist, as has been given and shown here in the activity of how forces build in their radiation without the application of space (as physically known), and how that there is the radiation through the forces as they move about one another. (195-57)
05/11/1933
9. (Q) While reading the "Ancient History of Philosophy" by Manly P. Hall, I gained the impression that this author must have been associated in this work. Is this conclusion right?
(A) We haven't Manly P. Hall, nor his desire to know, nor his contact with the individual questioning, in this particular application of experiences. He may have been, in what is termed the past - we haven't it here. (270-31)
03/07/1931
18. (Q) Are the principles of life and living by the Rosicrucian order in general true and correct?
(A) In general correct, very good. There are variations as to the development OF the individual, for ALL become sons of the first creative energy or force, and are individual in their aspects and capable of BEING the whole, yet not the whole - see? (311-3)
03/02/1933
5. (Q) Is the book "A Dweller on Two Planets" by Phylos the Tibetan based on truth, especially in its forecast for the United States of pages 418 to 422? [GD's note: Pages different in later editions.]
(A) As viewed by an entity separated from the whole, yes. As TRUTH, that may be implied by one that looks only to the Lamb, to the Son as a leader, no. Choose thou. (282-5)
09/19/1931
13. (Q) Is Rudolf Steiner's "Atlantis & Lemuris," and his "Theosophy" true and correct in general?
(A) In a TREND; not as in toto - but a VISION OF an entity as reading record OF that as happened in space and time,
311-6 Page 4
and GIVEN IN response TO those seeking for their OWN understanding of inclinations with THEIR own experience. (311-6)

2. Atlantis as a continent is a legendary tale. Whether or not that which has been received through psychic sources has for its basis those few lines given by Plato, or the references made in Holy writ that the earth was divided, depends upon the trend of individual minds. Recently, however, the subject has taken on greater import, since some scientists have declared that such a continent was not only a reasonable and plausible matter, but from evidences being gradually gathered was a very probable condition.
3. As we recognize, there has been considerable given respecting such a lost continent by those channels such as the writer of Two Planets, or Atlantis - or Poseida and Lemuria - that has been published through some of the Theosophical literature. As to whether this information is true or not, depends upon the credence individuals give to this class of information. (364-1)

But, ere entering into the realm of vibration, whose doorkeeper is sound, we find that the One Substance vibrates in variant, but definite, dynamic degree, and that thence arise each and all of the diverse forms of matter; in short, the difference between any given substances, as gold and silver, iron and lead, sugar and sand, is not one of matter, but of dynamic degree solely.
05/09/1930
6. (Q) Page 4 - lines 6 to 13 - ["The one substance vibrates in different dynamic degrees, and sound, heat, light, electricity, are the effections of the one substance by specific degrees of the One Energy, and there is no difference between anything such as electricity and, say iron, save in rate of effection."] Is this correctly stated?
(A) Correctly stated. (195-70)

"'Astika, I am sorrowful! But be it as thou wilt. Thou hast been warned to leave. Thou hast heard of the power of the Suern, and believed not. But now, feel it!'
"With these words the Rai swept his outpointing index-finger over the place where stood our pride--the splendid two thousand. His lips moved and I barely heard the low-spoken words:
"'Yeovah, strengthen my weakness. So dieth stubborn guilt.'
"What then befell so filled all spectators with horror, so wrought upon their superstition, that for full five minutes after, scarce a sound was heard. Of all those veteran warriors not one was left alive. At the gesture of the Suernis their heads fell forward, their grasp was loosed on their spears, and they fell as drunken men to the earth. Not a sound, save that of their precipitation; not a struggle; death had come to them as it comes to those whose hearts stop pulsing. Ah! what frightful power hast thou, Suernis!"
"For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed."
Sennacherib was unknown then; the Salda princess knew not of the poem; but we do, my reader, thou and I; that is enough.
While describing the action of the Rai of Suern, the princess had risen to her feet from her place by the side of Menax, simulating at the same time the fatal gesture of Ernon of Suern. So apt had been this mimicry that the group of listeners on our left had involuntarily cowered as her arm swept over their heads. The Saldu noticed them shrink, and her lip curled with scorn.
"Cowards!" she muttered. A Poseida overheard the words, and his cheek flushed, as he said:
"Nay, Astiku, not cowards! Consider our involuntary shrinking as a compliment to thy descriptive powers."
She smiled, and said: "Perhaps so." Then, overcome by her apostrophe to the dread strength of Yeovah as invoked
by Ernon, a strength which even proud Atla feared, she sank back in her seat weeping.
A little wine revived her, and the narration was resumed.
"After the horrible silence that fell on all who had witnessed the awful sight, the women, wives and daughters of the higher officers, began shrieking in affright. Many of our men, as soon as they could realize that the stories they had heard and discredited were no idle tales, fell to the earth in an agony of pulling terror. Ah! then, then could ye have heard supplications to all the gods, great and small, in whom our people place trust. Ha! ha!" laughed the princess, bitterly, contemptuously, "appealing to gods of wood and metal for protection against such awful power! Faugh! Since I may not live in Suern, being banished, I would not live again in the land of my nativity! I want no more of people who idolize insentient objects and defy them. No, Astika," she said in answer to a question from Menax, "I never worshipped idols; most of our people do, but not all. I have not proved an apostate. But I do worship power. I ought to hate Ernon of Suern; but I do not. Indeed, I would, if permitted, live in his presence and idolize his wondrous strength, which works death to his enemies. Not so permitted, I would rather remain with thy people, who are a goodly race, and, if not equal to the Suerni, are yet better and more powerful than mine own, ah! far more so.
"My father knew better than to imagine this some trick of a wily people, knew now, after this bitter lesson, that the reputation accorded them by travelers was no idle fabrication of wonder-mongers. But he did not cringe before the Rai, he was too proud-spirited for that. While we gazed, stupefied, on the awful scene of death, another and not less frightful, but more ghastly thing happened. We that were alive, all our host except the two thousand stood between our dead and the river west of the city. Rai Ernon bowed his bead and prayed--what dire alarm that action caused our people!--and I heard him say:
'Lord, do this thing for thy servant, I beseech thee!'
"Then, as I gazed on the victims, I saw them arise one by one, and gather up each his spear and shield and helmet. Thereafter, in little irregular squads they marched towards us, towards me, O! My God! and passed on to the river! As they passed I saw that their eyes were half-closed and glazed in death; the movement of their limbs was mechanical; they walked as if hung on wires, and their armor clanked and clanged in a horrid, mocking ring. As, one by one, the squads came to the river, they walked in, deeper and deeper, till the waters closed over their heads, and they were gone forever, gone to feed the crocodiles which already roared and snarled over their prey adown the stream of Gunja. No one to lead, none to carry; each going as if alive, and yet somehow dead, this ghastly procession to the river, a thousand paces distant, so completed the horrible sense of fear that desperate terror possessed the great army, and they fled, leaving behind all things, and soon only a few faithful soldiers were left in sight; these remained with their commander and his officers of staff, ready to share with him the death which they expected would be meted out to all who remained. The women also did not all flee.

7. (Q) What was meant by "As in the first Adam sin entered, so in the last Adam all shall be made alive?"
(A) Adam's entry into the world in the beginning, then, must become the savior OF the world, as it was committed to his care, "Be thou fruitful, multiply, and SUBDUE the earth!" Hence Amilius, Adam, the first Adam, the last Adam, becomes - then - that that is GIVEN the POWER OVER the earth, and - as in each soul the first to be conquered is self - then ALL THINGS, conditions and elements, are subject unto that self! That a universal law, as may be seen in that as may be demonstrated either in gases that destroy one another by becoming elements of the same, or that in the mineral or the animal kingdom as may be found that destroy, or BECOME one WITH the other. Hence, as Adam given - the SON of God - so he MUST become that that would be able to take the world, the earth, back to that source from which it came, and ALL POWER is given in his keeping in the earth, that he has overcome; self, death, hell and the grave even, become subservient unto Him THROUGH the conquering of self in that made flesh; for, as in the beginning was the word, the Word WAS with God, the Word WAS God, the same was IN the beginning. The Word came and dwelt among men, the offspring of self in a material world, and the Word OVERCAME the world - and hence the world BECOMES, then, as the servant of that that overcame the world! (364-7)
A Dweller On Two Planets [1920] | pp.156-157
The Suerni never lift their hands in manual labor, they sit at the breakfast or the supper table without having previously put upon it anything to eat, or elsewhere prepared a repast; they bow their heads in apparent prayer, and then, lifting up their eyes, begin to eat of what has mysteriously come before them--of wholesome viands, of nuts, of all manner of fruits, and of tender, succulent vegetables! But meat they eat not, nor much that is not the finished product of its source, containing in itself the germ for future life. Hath Incal exempted them from His fiat as Creator of the world, which all men suffer, "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread?" It is less onerous, certainly, on those who walk His paths, or even those who partly do so, and whose rule of life is continence. Such are more powerful, have occult powers that no eater of meats can ever hope to attain, but surely they are not wholly exempt; it must be somewhat toilsome to perform such magic feats as these.
01/10/1930
10. (Q) What is meant by "their ability to aid in given direction"?
(A) All force and power as is applied through psychic forces comes from a universal energy, that is directed by individual application. As the entity studies, develops, and seeks, such application may be gained or attained by those forces through which attunement is gained. As is seen in all of the forms of vibration, whether in the mineral, in the vegetable, in the animal, in music, in those of chemics or chemicals, or those of spiritual vibrations. These are of attunement, or are in various FORMS in attunement. As the entity attunes self to the various forms through which the application of the mental abilities of the entity attain or gain access, they pass through these various forces, and may be individual, may be group, may be of higher vibration, or they may be of a lower - if the body is made animal by the excess of the gratification of animal desires, they become of the lower vibration. If that is made of an attunement with the bodies celestial, bodies terrestrial, or of whatever form - these develop through that same vibration; for that as is meted is measured again. To that vibration one attunes self, that response is back. See? (256-2)
04/28/1932
8. The mental vision by its action upon what body is being builded? On the mental body of the individual in a material world, out of Spirit, out of the ability to have all the attributes of the spiritual or unseen forces - but MATERIALIZED forces, as is necessary from the mental body in a material world MENTALLY trained to, or in, certain directions, or given directions, or following the natural bent of its threefold or threeply body, as is seen in every individual or every entity. As these projected themselves, then we find these DEVELOPMENTS were in this portion of the development in the Atlantean period. How were these used? In much as were from the beginning. Remember there was ever the instruction to those peoples that were to hold to that that would bring for the spiritual forces, rather than the abuses of the abilities - as those with familiar spirits, as those that spoke to or partook of the divinations of those that had passed from the earth's plane, or those that partook of the animal magnetism - that came from the universal consciousness of animal matter as passed into its experience, in its interchange through those periods of integration and disintegration - and the spirit forces possessing those that would lay themselves open to such conditions, for these are
364-10 Page 4
as real as physical bodies if the attunements of the entity are such that it may vision them! and they are about you always, sure! These, then, are entities - sure; whether animal or those endowed with the soul - until they pass through those changes - as there ever has been, see? Also there are those that ever make for those channels in the psychic and occult (we are speaking of, through which man - as it reached that stage, or that position that it became farther and farther from its natural sources, through the same CHARACTER of channel may it communicate with that from which it is a portion of, or the Creative Forces), and hence the terminology arose as 'Good Spirits' and 'Bad Spirits'; for there are those that partake of the earth, or of the carnal forces, rather than of those forces that are of the spiritual or CREATIVE. Those that are destruction are of the Earth. Those that are constructive, then, are the good - or the divine and the devilish, bringing for those developments in their various phases. Hence the greater development of that called occult, or psychic forces, during the Atlantean period - and the use of same, and the abuse of same - was during its first thousand years, as we would call light years; not the light of the star, but the sun goes down and the sun goes down - years. That brought about those cycles, or those changes. Hence we have that which has been given through many of the sources of information, or the channels for individuals - and in those, these, the entity - as a voice upon waters, or as the wind that moved among the reeds and harkened, or again as when the morning stars sang together and the sons of God beheld the coming of man into his own, through the various realms as were brought by the magnifying of, or the deteriorating of, the use of those forces and powers as manifested themselves in a MATERIAL area, or those that partook of carnal to the gratification of that that brought about its continual HARDENING and less ability to harken back through that from WHICH it came, and partaking more and more OF that upon which it became an eater of; or, as is seen even in the material forces in the present: We find those that partake of certain elements, unless these become very well balanced WITH all SOURCES - Of what? That of which there were the first causes, or nature, or natural, or God's sources or forces are. Hence ELEMENTS - not rudiments; elements - as are termed in the terminology of the student of the anatomical, physiological, psychological forces within a body - GERMS! Sure they are germs! for each are as atoms of power - From what? That source from which it has drawn its essence upon what it feeds. Is one feeding, then, its soul? or is one feeding its body? or is one feeding that interbetween (its mental body) to its own undoing, or to those foolishnesses of the simple things of life? Being able, then, to partake OF the physical but not a part of same - but more and more feeding upon those sources from which it emanates itself, or of the SPIRITUAL life, so that the physical body, the mental body, are attuned TO its
364-10 Page 5
soul forces, or its soul source, its Creator, its Maker, in such a way and manner, as it develops. (364-10)

5. Then, in entering, each soul comes to manifest that it has NOT so well learned in the lessons of hope, patience, tolerance, brotherly love, kindness, gentleness, meekness, and such. These are the fruits of the spirit. And the
505-4 Page 2
manifestation of these attributes in the experience of each soul brings, as the Master of Masters has given, that awareness of self of the soul that is the gift of the Creator, that is the birthright of every individual that may be wasted in attempting to gratify those things that are of the earth, or of the carnal forces, and thus become weakened and less aware of its experience or existence in the affairs of man. Yet the soul finds its experience, no matter in what environ; and the ENVIRON is that created by what the soul - the inner self - has done, does do, about the manifestations of Creative Influences in the relationships to its fellow man.

All over this hideous work of destruction, when the sea Miti had fled away into Ixla (Gulf of California) the rains and torrents of eleven thousand winter seasons, and the desiccating, powdering influences of as, many torrid summers have smoothed and chiseled and wrought the ruptured, ragged surfaces into yet more fantastic shapes, and claimed the whole work as its own, denying the hand of Pluto as the major worker. And the geologist seems to have admitted the claim, and placed the lake time far back, in order to allow a sufficient term for the execution of the gigantic work. And it is not so, for I saw that lake, only twelve thousand years ago.

28. (Q) What is the primary cause of earthquakes? Will San Francisco suffer from such a catastrophe this year? If so, give date, time and information for the guidance of this body, who has personal property, records and a wife, all of which it wishes safety.
(A) We do not find that this particular district (San Francisco) in the present year will suffer the great MATERIAL damages that HAVE been experienced heretofore. While portions of the country will be affected, we find these will be farther EAST than San Francisco - or those SOUTH, where there has NOT been heretofore the greater activity.
The causes of these, of course, are the movements about the earth; that is, internally - and the cosmic activity or influence of other planetary forces and stars and their relationships produce or bring about the activities of the elementals of the earth; that is, the Earth, the Air, the Fire, the Water - and those combinations make for the replacements in the various activities.
If there are the greater activities in the Vesuvius, or Pelee, then the southern coast of California - and the areas between Salt Lake and the southern portions of Nevada - may expect, within the three months following same, an inundation by the earthquakes.
But these, as we find, are to be more in the southern than in the northern hemisphere. (270-35)
A Dweller On Two Planets [1920] | p.230
Let none suppose that the devachan of one that hath committed earth-binding errors, and must by these bonds again reincarnate, is anything like the great Life wherewith are crowned those who are faithful unto the death of that serpent in the heart, animal lusts. The words can well portray mere devachan, they are powerless to depict that Life.

7. As love is the expression for experiences in life manifested in the earth, so is the experience of the soul in the earth dependent upon that plane, that experience, as to its race or color or sex. For if there has been the error in that phase, in that expression, the error must be met. For indeed as has been given, whatsoever ye sow, so shall ye reap. And these are gathered only in the phases of experience in which the associations, the activities, the relations have been. Thus as there is continuity of life expression, so must it continue.
8. They who have done error suddenly, they who are advanced, they who have not met a whole expression may suddenly [reincarnate?] - as you count time. (294-189)
A Dweller On Two Planets [1920] | pp.259-260
But all through the Orient, here and there, the magicians were to be found; the reasons for such secrecy, as they maintained, arose from the fact that ere such knowledge as they were custodians of could be gained, the soul must be calm with that calmness which comes best from life amidst the wilds of nature. Now this may seem strange, but it is a calm which can hardly be maintained in the habitats of those addicted to meat eating, or of persons engrossed in the selfishness of common life. You may imagine that these students could seclude themselves from disturbance; men who wish to study do so seclude themselves, even in cities. Not so the occultist. For, from the social order and communal life of the world emanates an aura, or atmosphere of its own disturbed muddiness, an aura fatal to the absolute peace required by the theosopher. I am impelled to remark at this point that what goes under the name of "theosophy" in the world to-day is an article so far removed from the genuine that the name has even thus early been laid aside by the silent nature student, who, now as ever, is a Son of the Solitude.
01/01/1939
14. (Q) Why don't I have the same degree of spiritual exaltation in my new apartment that I had while living at the Hotel ...? How can I recapture that inner radiance?
(A) Variations in the vibratory influences about the body. Let there be held by those with whom and in whom the body feels those associations that make for the awareness of the high vibratory influences, and we may dispel those that have existed here. (1472-9)
05/13/1944
9. (Q) Are the noises and vibrations from electric power plant in my neighborhood harmful?
(A) Unless the body can attune itself to the noises until it is not aware of their presence, better move from that environ. (5113-1)

"Truth! In me is the magnet you do not see. Did it ever occur to you that the processes of all life are carried on by what for our present purpose may be called magnetism? Assimilation of food and drink, waste, excretion, all vital processes whatever? The magnet is in the cerebellum or back brain, and in the medullary substance of the corporae striatum, a veritable wound magnet.
12/14/1932
10. (Q) [341]: Please explain the sensations during meditation of vibration running up through the body and ending in a sort of fullness in the head.
(A) The various portions, as given, represent the activities that are being set, either when considered from the purely scientific or from the metaphysical standpoint, as an active force emanating from the Life itself within. Then, these become all-embracing; hence the better understanding should be gained, whether used to disseminate and bring healing or for the raising of the forces in self. When one is able to so raise within themselves such vibrations, as to pass through the whole course of the attributes of physical attunements, to the disseminating force or center, or the Eye, then the body of that individual becomes a magnet that may (if properly used) bring healing to others with the laying on of hands. This is the manner in which such a healing becomes effective BY the laying on of hands. (281-14)
A Dweller On Two Planets [1920] | p.65
Their philosophy asserted that force moved, not in straight fines but in circles, that is, so as always to return into itself. If the dynamism operating the universe acts in circular progression, it follows that an infinity of increase in vibration possible to One Substance would be an untenable concept. There must be a point in the circle where extremes meet and run the round again, and this we find between cathodicity and magnetism. As vibration brought substance into the realm of light, it must carry it out. It does so. It conveys it into what the Poseidi termed "Navaz, the Night-Side of Nature," where duality becomes manifest, cold opposing heat, darkness light, and where positive polarity opposes negative, all things antipodal. Cold is as much a substantial entity as heat, and darkness as light. There is a prism of seven colors in each white ray of light; there is also a septuple prism of black entities in the blackest gloom--the night is as pregnant as the day.
A Dweller On Two Planets [1920] | p.271
He that knows occult law can make nature parallel this magnet, for the universe itself moves only because of the current, which flows from positive to negative, from one-half of matter into the other half, continuously.

18. (Q) Thymus - Pale Horse?
(A) Yes.
For a reference to these, let each in your study of these, as in relation to the centers themselves, consider the effect of the color itself upon thine own body as ye attempt to apply same by either concentration, dedication or meditating upon these. For as has been given, color is but vibration. Vibration is movement. Movement is activity of a positive and negative force. Is the activity of self as in relationship to these then positive? Proceed. (281-29)
A Dweller On Two Planets [1920] | p.365
In other words, out of the cold, dark, negative side, or 'night side,' force emerges, drawn to the positive polarity which constitutes in its outgoing flow that termed Nature, and develops in its fall, magnetism, electricity, light, color, heat and sound, in order of descent, and lastly solid matter, for this latter is a child of energy, not its parent.

7. (Q) Page 5 - lines 5 to 20 - ["The heart in the human body may be compared to the sun of a solar system. Then by analogy the sun is the center of forces of the solar system. Similarly to the blood flowing from the heart through the arterial system, Force emerges from the sun drawn to the opposite polarity of the planets and in this outgoing flow it would be possible to develop magnetism, electricity, light, color, heat, sound, and lastly matter, in the order of lessening dynamic degrees of vibration. Matter then would be the offspring of energy and not the parent, as is often thought."] Is this correctly stated?
(A) Correctly stated, and just what happens in the human organism. (195-70)

16. Before this the entity was in the Scotch land. The entity began its activity as a prodigy, as one already versed in its associations with the unseen - or the elemental forces; the fairies and those of every form that do not give expression in a material way and are only seen by those who are attuned to the infinite.

Thus the wilds came to bloom as the rose; and to-day the world is heritor of that sowing of seed; the indigenous cereals, the wheat, for the origin of which many ingenious but insufficient theories have been put forth, and the varieties of palms that make the tropics famed for the grace of their cocoas and dates, and every genera of the Chamaerops. And these things are because man, woman and child found pleasure in that olden time in "planting seed by the wayside."
The Secret Doctrine [1977] | v.2 pp.373-374
This will be doubted and denied in our proud generation. But if it is asserted that there are no grains and fruits unknown to earth, then we may remind the reader that wheat has never been found in the wild state: it is not a product of the earth. All the other cereals have been traced to their primogenital forms in various species of wild grasses, but wheat has hitherto defied the efforts of botanists to trace it to its origin. And let us bear in mind, in this connection, how sacred was that cereal with the Egyptian priests; wheat being placed even with their mummies, and found thousands of years later in their coffins. Remember: -- "The servants of Horus glean the wheat in the field of Aanroo. . . . wheat seven cubits high." ("Book of the Dead," chap. xcix., 33; and clvi., 4.)* The reader is referred to Stanza VII., Verse 3, Book I., wherein this verse is explained in another of its meanings, and also to the "Book of the Dead," chap. cix., v. 4 and 5.

13. (Q) Give a list of scientific books for me to study during the coming year, especially within the next three months, relating to this subject?
(A) First WE would suggest "This Mysterious World of Ours." [THE MYSTERIOUS UNIVERSE by Sir James Jeans?] Next we would take the electrical transmissions that have been prepared by those that are rather in manuscript form (which may be obtained through the associates of the body), connected with the Edison laboratory. Next we would take some GENERAL information of one or two different authors or writers on research in the field of radio, its causes of static and the means of transmission. Any one, or any author of repute. There are several in those that have been prepared by some of the associates of Steinmetz [Charles Proteus Steinmetz - 1865-1923]; some of those as of Steuer [GD's note: Pronounced STOR, like the famous lawyer in '20's, Max Steuer] some of the same nature, see?
14. (Q) Who is the author of the first book mentioned? [See 440-11, Par. 26-A saying S. L. Steuer.]
(A) "This Mysterious World," or "This Mysterious Universe."
15. (Q) Or both?
(A) "This Mysterious Universe." We don't find the name here.
16. (Q) How about the other book mentioned?
(A) We have given two or three writers here in other forms, and some manuscripts that may be had, and "This Mysterious World," or "Mysterious Universe." We would also include among those one that would appear to have little or no bearing on the subject, but rather as a love story - read in these connections "The Romance of Two Worlds" by Corelli.
440-7 Page 4
[Marie Corelli - 1855-1924] It wouldn't be bad to include among these "She", [SHE by H. Rider Haggard] a weird thing - but we are dealing with the principles that you are studying; for all of these were also Atlanteans, and are anxious to express themselves, even as they did in their natural or earth life, again. Corelli is just becoming active. Wallace [Wallis] is just active also, and has had few connections - or very bad connections - as yet. [Lew Wallace - 1827-1905, author of BEN HUR, etc.?] (440-7)
12/15/1933
8. (Q) Would a study of any particular part of "The Secret Doctrine" [H. P. Blavatsky] be of benefit?
(A) The study of any portion of same is of benefit, but only in so far as it will enable the self to open for that which may be given in its meditation.
Commence, and then we may aid! (470-10)

"The true esoteric view about "Satan," the opinion held on this subject by the whole philosophic antiquity, is admirably brought out in an appendix, entitled "The Secret of Satan," to the second edition of Dr. A. Kingsford's "Perfect Way." No better and clearer indication of the truth could be offered to the intelligent reader, and it is therefore quoted here at some length:"
"33 ". . . . the angel of the manifest Worlds." It is "Satan who is the god of our planet and the only god," and this without any allusive metaphor to its wickedness and depravity. For he is one with the Logos, "the first son, eldest of the gods," in the order of microcosmic (divine) evolution; Saturn (Satan), astronomically, "is the seventh and last in the order of macrocosmic emanation, being the circumference of the kingdom of which Phoebus (the light of wisdom, also the Sun) is the centre." The Gnostics were right, then, in calling the Jewish god "an angel of matter," or he who breathed (conscious) life into Adam, and he whose planet was Saturn."
"34. "And God hath put a girdle about his loins (the rings of Saturn), and the name of the girdle is Death.""
07/24/1925
6. Then, to overcome this, rather place those forces as are manifest through will forces, knowing that these do appear. That, "Get thee behind me Saturn (Satan), that I WILL serve the living God, with MY body, MY mind, MY money, MY spirit, MY soul, for I and HIS, and through ME, my body, my mind, do I manifest MY impression, MY interpretation of MY God." (137-18)

"we find that during that transitional period -- namely, in the second half of the First Spiritual ethero-astral race -- nascent mankind was devoid of the intellectual brain element"

5. In the period, then - some hundred, some ninety-eight thousand years before the entry of Ram into India [See 364-3, Par. R2] - there lived in this land of Atlantis one Amilius [?], who had first NOTED that of the separations of the beings as inhabited that portion of the earth's sphere or plane of those peoples into male and female as separate entities, or individuals. As to their forms in the physical sense, these were much RATHER of the nature of THOUGHT FORMS, or able to push out OF THEMSELVES in that direction in which its development took shape in thought - much in the way and manner as the amoeba would in the waters of a stagnant bay, or lake, in the present. As these took form, by the gratifying of their own desire for that as builded or added to the material conditions, they became hardened or set - much in the form of the existent human body of the day, with that of color as partook of its surroundings much in the manner as the chameleon in the present. Hence coming into that form as the red, or the mixture peoples - or colors; known then later by the associations as the RED race. These, then, able to use IN their gradual development all the forces as were manifest in their individual surroundings, passing through those periods of developments as has been followed more closely in that of the yellow, the black, or the white races, in other portions of the world; yet with their immediate surroundings, with the facilities for the developments, these became much speedier in this particular portion of the globe than in others - and while the destruction of this continent and the peoples are far beyond any of that as has been kept as an absolute record, that record in the rocks still remains - as has that influence OF those peoples in that life of those peoples to whom those that did escape during the periods of destruction make or influence the lives of those peoples TO whom they came. As they MAY in the present, either through the direct influence of being regenerated, or re-incarnated into the earth, or through that of the MENTAL application on through the influences as may be had upon thought OF individuals or groups by speaking from that environ. (364-3)

"But the five statues [see: Buddhas of Bamiyan/Bamyan] belong to the handiwork of the Initiates of the Fourth Race, who sought refuge, after the submersion of their continent, in the fastnesses and on the summits of the Central Asian mountain chains. Moreover, the five statues are an imperishable record of the esoteric teaching about the gradual evolution of the races.
The largest [see: Vairocana] is made to represent the First Race of mankind, its ethereal body being commemorated in hard, everlasting stone, for the instruction of future generations, as its remembrance would otherwise never have survived the Atlantean Deluge. The second [see: Sakyamuni] -- 120 feet high -- represents the sweat-born; and the third [see: BBC | Buddha statue find at Afghan site] -- measuring 60 feet -- immortalizes the race that fell, and thereby inaugurated the first physical race, born of father and mother, the last descendants of which are represented in the Statues found on Easter Isle; but they were only from 20 to 25 feet in stature at the epoch when Lemuria was submerged, after it had been nearly destroyed by volcanic fires. The Fourth Race was still smaller, though gigantic in comparison with our present Fifth Race, and the series culminated finally in the latter."

4. (Q) What should be the basis and fundamental thoughts to be presented in the lesson on THE OPEN DOOR?
(A) The Christ Spirit is the door, the truth, the way; not the man for, as the Father knoweth thee, so may ye know the Father through the exemplifying of His attributes in the earth. Little by little, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little, for the glory of the Father - not the exaltation of thine own self; for with the exaltation of self - or the gratifying of the desires of flesh - the door closes. [See also 262-28, 16-A.] (262-27)
05/28/1941
14. (Q) Medical Science calls the glands at the base of the brain Pituitary and 3rd eye Pineal. Why have these names been reversed? Please explain.
(A) Their activity indicates that, from the angles of this study, these should be reversed.
15. (Q) Meaning we should reverse ours, or that Medical Science should?
(A) To understand what is being given, reverse them! We are not telling Medical Science what to do! We are telling YOU what to do! (281-54)
04/23/1932
6. (Q) Please discuss in detail the functions of the pineal gland.
(A) If this is discussed from the anatomical viewpoint, in the fetus as is begun in first of gestation, we find this may be termed as the Builder. As is seen, the location of same is in the beginning in that of the center or the nucleus about which all of the matter takes its first form, and becomes the brain as is guiding or directing the building of the body as its development in the womb takes place. As it then reaches from the umbilical cord to the brain, there is builded that as is centered about same by the physical attributes of that progenerated from those bringing such an action into being. When there has reached that stage when there is the separation of same, the cord then being broken, this forms then its own basis in the lower portion of the brain, or cerebellum, and through the medulla oblongata to the central portion of the cerebro-spinal cord itself is held intact, and with the removal of same, or pressure on same, the various forms of hallucinations are evident, whether in the developing stage or when it has reached the elderly or older years in an experience. Its functioning, then, is as that, of that, which makes for - or known as - the impulse or imaginative body. Hence one that may be called demented by others, who has hallucinations from a pressure in some portions, may be visioning that which to him is as real (though others may call him crazy) as to those who are supposed to have an even balance of their senses; which [such visioning?] has been formed by the circulation, or the activity of the gland - as it is called - in its incipiency, until it becomes - or is - as a mass without apparent functioning. If the imaginative body, or the trained body (as is called in a material world) is, trained constantly away FROM the activities of same, it - in natural consequence of things in physical being - draws, as it were, within self. Hence senility sets in. Keep the pineal gland operating and you won't grow old - you will always be young!
In this activity, then, as is seen, there is within the genital organs the activity through that as may be called the lyden gland, [Leydig] which has within itself that closed door, or open door, as makes for activity through that to the base of the brain, or the PINEAL gland - as is at the base of the brain itself - which opens up for its activities and associations to those other portions of the brain; that sends out its sensations either through the sensory organism or the sympathetic organism, or the purely physical organism. For they may all act upon, or BE acted upon, for they are a portion of, and kindred of - (now remember, we are speaking from the physical standpoint, or pathological standpoint!) - and are the active forces and active principles in the activities and repulsions, or the actions, of individuals! As these are the activities that come directly from the organs of reproduction, hence, we find many instances where psychic forces or developments of the individuals, or of an entity, these become abused - or are used in a way and manner as to bring about abuses that make for degenerate reactions, as is considered by individuals, in their various forms or activities to the moral forces as may be set by individuals; but are to the individual the activities of a nature that is an action of, or an impulse of, the organs or functionings that are active through the functioning of the gland itself! Hence we have the variations in functionings of same. Now, as these are turned - or there is the seed, or that within same that may be awakened that makes for those impulses known as attributes that may be added to, that makes for the spiritual life first in that of faith as an opening, that of hope, then to virtue, then to knowledge, then to brotherly love, then to understanding, then to the Christ Consciousness, then to LOVE itself - which was manifest in the body of the Virgin that brought into being that through the concept of, or the conception through the Holy Spirit, by raising that consciousness within same as to PRODUCE that within the organs of the body itself that BECAME, as it were, the begotten of the Father! (294-141)

9. (Q) What should be his proper height at this time? [GD's note: He was of rather small stature and not as tall as his mother thought he should be for one his age.]
(A) The height of an individual or an entity depends, to be sure, upon the activity of the pineal AND its correlation
759-13 Page 2
with the adrenals of the body; this using or maintaining its activity from the first impulse even in the ratio of activity at conception.
Though this may be aided and stimulated by the addition or injection or applications in such a manner of mechanical natures to INCREASE the flow of activity of this glandular system, in this body - as we find in the present, according to these ratios as has been indicated - it is almost normal in its height.
But if there are the pressures removed along the cerebro-spinal system, this would then make for such changes as to make the growth in height NORMAL. This is much preferable for normalcy in a physical developing body. (759-13) [see: Acromegaly]

"There were four-armed human creatures in those early days of the male-females (hermaphrodites); with one head, yet three eyes."
04/29/1932
8. (Q) Please give a few details regarding the physiognomy, habits, customs and costumes of the people of Atlantis during the period just before this first destruction.
(A) These, as we find, will require their being separated in the gradual development of the body and its physiognomy as it came into being in the various portions of that land, as well as to those that would separate themselves from those peoples where there were the indwelling of peoples, or man - as man, in the various areas of the land, or what we call world.
In the matter of form, as we find, first there were those as projections from that about the animal kingdom; for the THOUGHT bodies gradually took form, and the various COMBINATIONS (as may be called) of the various forces that called or classified themselves as gods, or rulers over - whether herds, or fowls, or fishes, etc. - in PART that kingdom and part of that as gradually evolved into a physiognomy much in the form of the present day may (were one chosen of those that were, or are, the nearest representative of the race of peoples that existed in this first period as the first destructions came about). These took on MANY sizes as to stature, from that as may be called the midget to the giants - for there were giants in the earth in those days, men as tall as (what would be termed today) ten to twelve feet in stature, and in proportion - well proportioned throughout. The ones that became the most USEFUL were those as would be classified (or called in the present) as the IDEAL stature, that was of both male and female (as those separations had been begun); and the most ideal (as would be called) was Adam, who was in that period when he (Adam) appeared as five in one - See?
In this the physiognomy was that of a full head, with an extra EYE - as it were - in those portions that became what is known as the EYE. In the beginning these appeared in WHATEVER portion was desired by the body for its use!
As for the dress, those in the beginning were (and the Lord made for them coats) of the skins of the animals. These covered the parts of their person that had become, then, as those portions of their physiognomy that had brought much of the desires that made for destructive forces in their own experience; and these then were of those ABOUT them that were given as meat, or used as same - that partook of the herbs. These were those same herbs that the seed were to have been for food for the man in self, and only those that partook of same may be called even CLEAN - in the present day. Those that supply those same materials that are the proper building for the forces within the anatomical forces, or physiological forces, of a developing body; for these carry all the elements in their natural state. Little of minerals should ever be the properties within the system, save as may be taken through the vegetable forces, save where individuals have so laxed themselves as to require or need that which will make for an even balance of same. (364-11)

59. Before that the entity was in the Atlantean land, when there were those periods of activity in which there was the changing of individuals from the double sex, or the ability of the progeneration of activities from self. (2390-1)
The Secret Doctrine [1977] | v.2 p.329
It is to this period that we have to look for the first appearance of the Ancestors of those, who are termed by us the most ancient peoples of the world -- now called respectively the Aryan Hindus, the Egyptians, and the oldest Persians, on the one hand, and the Chaldees and Phoenicians on the other. These were governed by the DIVINE DYNASTIES, i.e., kings and rulers who had of mortal man only his physical appearance as it was then, but who were Beings from spheres higher and more celestial than our own sphere will be, long Manvantaras hence. It is useless of course to attempt to force their existence on sceptics. Their greatest pride consists in proving their patronymic denomination as catarrhinides; which fact they try to demonstrate on the alleged authority of the Coccyx appended to their os sacrum, that rudimentary tail [see: kundabuffer organ?] which, if they only had it long enough, they would wag in joy and for ever, in honour of its eminent discoverer. These will remain as faithful to their ape-ancestors as Christians will to tailless Adam. The Secret Doctrine, however, sets right on this point theosophists and students of Occult Sciences.
07/01/1932
17. (Q) What is the significance of the character of the figure of the Sphinx, mentioned above?
(A) In this particular period of Araaraart and of the priest (that began those understandings - and passed through those of the hell in the misinterpretation of same), there was even then the seeking through those channels that are today called archaeological research.
In those periods when the first change had come in the position of the land, there had been an egress of peoples - or THINGS, as would be called today - from the Atlantean land, when the Nile (of Nole, then) emptied into what is now the Atlantic Ocean, on the Congo end of the country. What is now as the Sahara was a fertile land, a city that was builded in the edge of the land, a city of those that worshipped the sun - for the use of its rays were used for supplying from the elements that which is required in the present to be grown through a season; or the abilities to use both those of introgression and retrogression - and mostly retrograded, as we are in the present. The beginnings of these mounds were as an interpretation of that which was crustating in the land. (See, most of the people had tails then!) In those beginnings these were left.
When there was the entrance of Arart and Araaraart, they begin to build upon those mounds which were discovered through research. With the storehouse, or record house (where the records are still to be uncovered), there is a chamber or passage from the right forepaw to this entrance of the record chamber, or record tomb. This may not be entered without an understanding, for those that were left as guards may NOT be passed until after a period of their regeneration in the Mount, or the fifth root race begins.
In the building of the pyramid, and that which is now called the Mystery of Mysteries, this was intended to be a MEMORIAL - as would be termed today - to that counsellor who ruled or governed, or who acted in the capacity of the director in the MATERIAL things in the land. With the return of the priest (as it had been stopped), this was later - by Isis, the queen, or the daughter of Ra - turned so as to present to those peoples in that land the relationships of man and the animal or carnal world with those changes that fade or fall away in their various effect. These may be seen in a different manner presented in many of the various sphinxes, as called, in other portions of the land - as the lion with the man, the various forms of wing, or characterizations in their various developments. These were as presentations of those projections that had been handed down in their various developments of that which becomes man - as in the present. (5748-6)
The Secret Doctrine [1977] | v.3 p.562
The influences of the moon are wholly psycho physiological. It is dead, sending out injurious emanations like a corpse. It vampirizes the earth and its inhabitants, so that anyone sleeping in its rays suffers, losing some of his life-force. A white cloth is a protection, the rays not passing through it, and the head especially should be thus guarded. It has most power when it is full. It throws off particles which we absorb, and is gradually disintegrating. Where there is snow the moon looks like a corpse, being unable, through the white snow, to vampirize effectually. Hence snow-covered mountains are free from its bad influences. The moon is phosphorescent.
07/06/1937
22. From the astrological aspects we find there was a sojourn upon the moon.
23. Hence the moon is an active influence of the entity, and DO NOT ever sleep with the moon shining upon the face.
24. In the sunshine, much; for the moon and the sun are the ruling of the emotions, and these are - as from the sojourns of the entity in Venus - a greater portion of the experiences as will be had. (1401-1)
CHASTE
[see: CHASTE/VIBRATION]
[see: 364-6]
"the ability of retaining those of the essence of creation in every virile body - can be made to become the fires that light truth, love, hope, patience, peace, harmony; for they are EVER the key to those influences that fire the imaginations of those that are gifted in ANY form of depicting the high emotions of human experience"
[see: 364-10]
"those that partook of carnal to the gratification of that that brought about its continual HARDENING and less ability to harken back through that from WHICH it came"
[see: 505-4]
"each soul comes to manifest that it has NOT so well learned in the lessons of hope, patience, tolerance, brotherly love, kindness, gentleness, meekness, and such. These are the fruits of the spirit. And the manifestation of these attributes in the experience of each soul brings, as the Master of Masters has given, that awareness of self of the soul that is the gift of the Creator, that is the birthright of every individual that may be wasted in attempting to gratify those things that are of the earth, or of the carnal forces, and thus become weakened and less aware of its experience or existence"
Secret Doctrine | Occult Physiology [II 295] [H. P. Blavatsky]
"The undefiled Lanoo (disciple, chela) need fear no danger; he who keeps himself not in purity (who is not chaste) will receive no help from the 'deva eye.' ""
"Unfortunately not. The "deva-eye" exists no more for the majority of mankind. The third eye is dead, and acts no longer; but it has left behind a witness to its existence. This witness is now the PINEAL GLAND."
"When we learn that the "third eye" was once a physiological organ, and that later on, owing to the gradual disappearance of spirituality and increase of materiality (Spiritual nature being extinguished by the physical), it became an atrophied organ, as little understood now by physiologists as the spleen is -- when we learn this, the connection will become clear. During human life the greatest impediment in the way of spiritual development, and especially to the acquirement of Yoga powers, is the activity of our physiological senses. Sexual action being closely connected, by interaction, with the spinal cord and the grey matter of the brain, it is useless to give any longer explanation."
04/26/1933
42. (Q) Will the study of the occult sciences help, and could the name of any particular BOOK be given?
(A) The study of those things pertaining to the early Egyptian activities, or - preferably for the entity, than much of such - study the Book of the DEAD (though this is given as being prepared at a much later date than in reality). (322-2)
10/22/1934
18. The entity was among those that aided in establishing what became the monumental influences in the experience of others; or aided in planning for those various things that were of moment to the representative influences and activities, or what are known as the OMENS or the figures of such activities. And when these are interpreted in the activities or experiences of the day, we find these mean for the entity the impelling influences from the mental and spiritual; and the entity would do well to study even the Book of the Dead, as it was called in the present - yet in that experience it was rather the Book of Life; or it represents that which is the experience of a soul in its sojourn not only in the land of Nirvana (?), the land of Nod, or the land of night, but rather those things that make for the cleansing of a physical body for the aptitudes of expression through the senses or the emotions in the physical forces to the spiritual truths. (706-1)
03/07/1929
8. (Q) Up to about what page of this letter that I have in my hand (if this is the letter referred to) should I consider?
(A) To the seventy-fifth page of spiritual law of psychic phenomena, to the fourth page of this letter.
9. (Q) Seventy-fifth page being in Hudson's book?
(A) Spiritual Law of Psychic Phenomena. (254-48)
10/19/1932
5. (Q) Please outline the course of study and reading that I should have, that will enable me to do well the work among study groups.
(A) There has been a very thorough outline given for those that would be leaders, in those various approaches to kindred thought; as in Hudson's Law - Spiritual Law of Psychic Phenomena, Ouspensky's Tertium Organum, James' Varieties of Religious Experience, and the like. THESE approach the basis of thought of man in his varied environs, but THIS weighed with that which is the personal experience of those as they LIVED in preparing the lessons will make for the right kind of development. (307-4)
07/02/1925
6. (Q) Is there any other book written after the matter of Ouspensky's "Tertium Organum" that will further help the body, [900], to gain knowledge along similar lines?
(A) Any of those that are quoted or had reference to in this book will be of assistance to the body of gaining an equilibrium of understanding of the various phases of the subject, for as is treated by Ouspensky, who, as we see, was the sage of the mountain in the third generation of the peoples of the Mahabha's [?] [Mahabharata?] in Tibet - 1777 - 7th month - 7th day - 7th hour - Mahabha Tarhl [?] [GD's note: The spelling of the words here are mine, not EC's.], and the keeper of the records in the mount - [See 6/20/75 reference to Tertium Organum in 900-88 Reports]. (900-88)
07/07/1925
15. (Q) We humans are then one with all, one with the mineral, vegetable, animal, human and spirit kingdom. We are the spirit of God, that elemental portion, the same as the whole, not yet made equal to it. Thus the hand and foot illustration in Corinthians of the New Testament. We are one with the flowers of the field, the waves of the sea, the breath of the forest, with all mankind, yet different only in the absorption or method of acquisition of the power of the whole spirit. We are that spirit not yet become equal to that spirit. The physical is real to the senses but the physical, all of it, is but the phenomena of the spirit, as are we ourselves in the flesh. Then the only real is the spirit. To see the real we must give up the conceived idea of life, of the conscious mind, and know ourselves as a portion of the Great Spirit, whose only happy peaceful end is to find power, control and knowledge in this spirit, in God. We are God, not yet come into our heritage. Is this all true? Explain further to the mind of [900].
(A) This all true, yet the mental forces of few are able to comprehend same in its entirely, without taking some small portion or phase of same and running same to excess, for the manifestations in the consciousness of the individual are the phenomenas of life. All is Life. God is God of the Living. God is God of Force, which is of God. Now the variations as may be seen in a physical world: We have the electronic forces in the Universe (physical now we are speaking of), with the higher voltage of electricity against a lower voltage, both may become short circuited. Now all are of a one force, one working in opposition to another, each moving at a higher or lesser vibration (physical we are speaking of). The same applies in the spiritual forces. All are of one, as all are in the Mind of the Creator, all made through the Mind of the Creator, to serve in their various capacities of executing the homage, service, to the Creator. Each filling their own place. Man made to be equal to the Creator, when entering into his full heritage. Each
900-89 Page 5
lower kingdom made as the service for man. Man made for the service of the Creator, becoming equal to Him, or as has been presented by Liedbeter [Leadbeater, Charles Webster] in this: "Man is but a corpuscle in the Great Body of the Creator." (900-89)
12/29/1938
79. (Q) Should I continue the study of numerology?
(A) Be well to lecture on same.
80. (Q) Is Ariel Taylor the best teacher for me?
(A) Very good. MOST all of these may be gained from the ONE BOOK - the Bible. (1770-2)
03/26/1935
25. (Q) Are there books from which one may study numerology?
(A) NUMBERS of same! But best study as you would your own A.B.C's. One - the all power. Two - divided. Three - the strength of One and the weakness of Two. Four - the greater weakness in all its associations and powers. Five - a change imminent, ever, in the activities of whatever influence with which it may be associated. Six - the strength of a Three, with a helpful influence. Seven - the spiritual forces that are activative or will be the activative influences in the associations of such an influence. Eight - a money number. Nine - the change. Ten - back to One again. These in their correlated influences as you will find in your own experience, and we will see these are but signs. Study in some of these, but turn most to the influence of the force of the One within self. (261-14)
03/03/1937
3. A guiding influence may ever be that Pope Leo XIII, as this entity's birth date [see: 03/02/1937] is a corroboration of that entity's birth [see: 03/02/1810] who rose to the place as the pontiff.
4. Hence we will find an influence in the experience that will ever be as a light to many; an influence towards that which is good. (1346-1)
09/03/1940
47. (Q) Is the revelation Oahspe, the Kosmon Bible, true in most particulars?
(A) Individuals and individual instances, yes; and some very far apart. (2067-2)
10/01/1940
29. (Q) Much about the Gobi Desert is written by Baird Spaulding in his Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East. Is that reliable description and should I refer to it in my book, if I write some day on this Gobi incarnation, which I understand to be a different one from the Indo-China experience - am I right?
(A) Different from the Indo-China; but not authentic. (2067-4)
04/07/1941
24. (Q) For my book to be written on Egyptian incarnation [See 294-147 thru 294-152] when people were losing animal appendages through the Temple Beautiful, I have found Thompson's Mysteries and Lore of Monsters which gives historical cases of mermaids, cyclops, centaurs. Did these man-animal combinations exist in large numbers 12,500 B.C.?
(A) There is some confusion as to the conditions. Many existed in the period. But the loss of the animal appendages was through operative forces in the Temple of Sacrifice, not in the Temple Beautiful. There was also the preparation of individuals through reading and through the application of the laws of diet, as to make such appendages be gradually released entirely from certain types of individuals. Only those who had mixed with the thought forms had same, you see. (2067-6)

16. (Q) What present printed version of the Bible gives the nearest to the true meaning of both the new and old Testaments?
(A) The nearest true version for the entity is that ye apply of whatever version ye read, in your life. It isn't that ye learn from anyone. Ye only may have the direction. The learning, the teaching is within self. For where hath He promised to meet thee? Within the temple! Where is that temple? Within! Where is heaven or earth? Within! Meet thy Savior there. For He hath promised, "I stand at the door - open. If ye open, I will enter and sup with thee." Again, "If ye will open I will come in - and I and the Father will abide with thee."
There have been many versions of that which was purposed to have been written, and has been changed from all of those versions - but remember that the whole gospel of Jesus Christ is: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, thy heart and thy body; and thy neighbor as thyself." Do this and thou shalt have eternal life. The rest of the book is trying to describe that. It is the same in any language, in any version. (2072-14)
09/03/1940
46. (Q) We are told that the Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ is taken directly from the akashic records. Is it historically true, and should I use the facts in my book?
(A) It is the experience of an individual, or of Levi, who was in that experience and wrote from his own experience. To him it was an actual fact. (2067-2)
06/25/1941
12. (Q) Please describe Jesus' education in India, schools attended - did He attend the Essene school in Jagannath taught by Lamaas, and did He study in Benares also under the Hindu teacher Udraka?
(A) He was there at least three years. Arcahia was the teacher.
13. (Q) Did He attend the schools in Jagannath - [see: AGJC:VI.22]
(A) ALL were a portion of the teachings as combined from the Essene schools, but these were not the true Essene doctrine as practiced by the Jewish and semi-Jewish associations in Carmel.
14. (Q) Did He study in Benares also under the Hindu teacher Udraka? [see: AGJC:VI.23]
(A) Rather that as indicated, - Arcahia. (2067-7)
05/03/1944
8. (Q) Give meaning and pronunciation of the word J-A-H-H-E-V-A-H-E. [see: AGJC:XVII.138]
(A) Java; meaning the ability within itself to know itself to be itself and yet one with, or one apart from, the infinite; to be a part of that realm of helpers; to know self as a part of and in that realm where the angels are, or in
2533-8 Page 4
that realm of the individuals who have been, who are, with the Announcer, the Lord of the Way, and who have attained the consciousness of the Christ-within. (2533-8)
CHRIST
10/02/1932
9. (Q) Please explain clearly the difference between the Christ Consciousness, the Christ Spirit.
(A) As the difference might be given in that which makes for the birth in the flower, and the flower. The consciousness of the Spirit and the abilities to apply same are the differences in the Christ Consciousness, the Christ Spirit.
As has been given, the devils believe, the devils know, individuals that may be conscious of an activity. Those with the abilities to call upon, to be so unselfish as to allow the Spirit to operate in self's stead, are aware of the Spirit's activity, while those that may be conscious or aware of a truth may not wholly make it their own without that which has been given, "He that would have life must give life;" for HE thought it not robbery to be equal with the Father, yet of Himself did nothing, "but the Father that worketh in me, through me."
Do thou likewise, that thou may know the consciousness of the Christ Spirit, and experience the operation of that witness, that "My Spirit beareth witness with thy spirit, that the Father may be glorified in you, even as I am glorified in the Father through you. If ye love me keep my
262-29 Page 3
commandments, and I will abide with you. I will NOT leave thee comfortless; I will make thee aware of that glory I possessed with the Father before the world was."
In such a manner may individuals become aware of the Christ Consciousness and become one with the operative forces of the Christ Spirit abroad in the earth; for He shall come again, even as ye have seen Him go. THEN shall the Christ Spirit be manifest in the world, even as the Christ Consciousness may make thee aware of that promised as the Comforter in this material world.
Then, the Christ Consciousness is the Holy Spirit, or that as the promise of His presence made aware of His activity in the earth. The Spirit is as the Christ in action with the Spirit of the Father. (262-29)
05/14/1941
20. (Q) Should the Christ-Consciousness be described as the awareness within each soul, imprinted in pattern on the mind and waiting to be awakened by the will, of the soul's oneness with God?
(A) Correct. That's the idea exactly! (5749-14)
11/29/1941
45. (Q) Since I am definitely drawn to occult things, how can I free myself from the fear instilled by an early horoscope which stated that in turning to anything psychic I might open myself to the influences of black magic?
(A) No better formula may be given than this: Read Deuteronomy 30th, as being directed to thee BY those influences ye helped establish among a great peoples.
Then study and analyze John 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th. Not as rote, again, but as a PRACTICAL experience, as may be the experience of any soul that seeks to make that creative force, God, as manifested there, the rule of the life.
No greater psychic lived than Jesus of Nazareth. No greater activity was manifested than by the entity itself in that directing of the household of its own sons; two of which practised black magic and were destroyed. These build that fear. In Him it is eradicated. (2630-1)
NO GREATER PSYCHIC
01/13/1940
26. (Q) Is there any method whereby I might develop such faculties as a perfect memory; intuition, telepathy, astral projection, and healing of others, as well as myself?
(A) All healing of every nature comes from the DIVINE within that body, or the body applied to such methods or manners of healing.
The attuning of self, - not as to that this or that may be accomplished. But remember, as has ever been given of old, ALL manner of expression, all life, emanates from one source - God! God in thyself; not as "I will, but as Thou wilt."
Let that be the purpose, the import, the intent, the DESIRE; and that which is needed for the bringing of its abilities and faculties of every nature in attunement will be done.
And thus give off, in harmonious accent, that as will be pleasing in His sight, - the purpose for which each soul enters a material experience.

38. (Q) Have been for 18 years a student of Rosicrucian Order, (A.M.O.R.C.) of San Jose, Calif. Shall I continue to study with them, or is there any other group that is better?
(A) Self is quite different and quite better! For, when ye know self ye know the rest of the universe.
This may be well to use as a judgment. There is no better book than the 30th Deuteronomy! (3042-1)
BIBLE
[see: Deuteronomy 30 | And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. And the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the Lord, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. And the Lord thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the Lord will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.]

4. (Q) Please interpret the 2nd Chapter, 17th verse of Revelation. "To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."
(A) In giving the interpretation of this particular portion of the Revelation, it must all be kept in mind that, as has been indicated, while many of the references - or all - refer to the physical body as the pattern, there is that as may be said to be the literal and the spiritual and the metaphysical interpretation of almost all portions of the Scripture, and especially of the Revelation as given by John.
Yet all of these to be true, to be practical, to be applicable in the experiences of individuals, MUST coordinate: or be as one, even as the Father, the Son and the the Holy Spirit.
In the interpretation of the Name, then: Each entity, each soul, is known - in all the experiences through its activities - as a name to designate it from another. It is not only then a material convenience, but it implies - as has been given, unless it is for material gain - a definite period in the evolution of the experience of the entity in the material plane.
Then as each entity under a given name makes its correlating of that it does about the Creative Forces in its experience, it is coming under those influences that are being fed by the manna - which is a representation of the universality as well as the stability of purposes in the Creative Forces as manifested to a group or a nation of peoples.
So it becomes that as the Master gave, "Ye shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of the Father."
That indeed is the holy manna which each entity, each soul in each experience must make a part of its mental and spiritual self. Thus it becomes as is indicated, in that the name - as in each experience - bears a relative relationship to the development of the individual entity in each experience.
Then in the end, or in those periods as indicated, it is when each entity, each soul has so manifested, so acted in its relationships as to become then as the new name; white, clear, known only to him that hath overcome. Overcome what? The world, even as He.
For what meaneth a name? John, Jane, Peter, Andrew, Bartholomew, Thaddeus, Rhoda, Hannah? All of these have not only the attunement of vibration but of color, harmony; and all those relative relationships as one to another.
Then as has been asked, and has been indicated in another portion of Revelation, all those that bear the mark, those that have the name, those that have the stone - these are representatives then of the same experience in the various phases of an individual experience for its activity.
Then the interpretation is that they HAVE overcome, they HAVE the new name, they HAVE the manna, they HAVE the understanding, they HAVE their relationships as secure in the blood of the Lamb! (281-31)

18. (Q) What passages especially should he read in the Bible?
(A) The admonition of Moses, the creation of man in the first three chapters, the admonition of Joshua, the 1st Psalm, the 2nd and 4th Psalm, the 22nd, 23rd and 24th Psalm, the 91st Psalm, the 12th of Romans, the 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th of John, 13th of 2nd Corinthians [1 Cor. 13?], and the Book of Revelation.
And in the Revelation study as this: Know, as there is given
1173-8 Page 7
each emblem, each condition, it is representing or presenting to self a study of thine own body, with ALL of its emotions, all of its faculties. All of its physical centers represent experiences through which thine own mental and spiritual and physical being pass. For it is indeed the revelation of self. (1173-8)

1. GC: You will have before you the inquiring mind of [1602], present in this room, who seeks guidance - impersonal guidance and light regarding the teachings of Jacob Boehme, the German philosopher and mystic of the 17th century who used the corresponding Principles of Nature - of the entire Astral, with man, as the true Spiritual approach to the Primal Light beyond the Circuit of Reincarnation. Will you clarify the answers to the following and help me to understand them in relation to Spiritual Evolution - as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the enquiring mind, and those tenets and teachings and illustrations as presented by Jacob Boehme; as respecting the relationships of man in his search for the Creative Forces or God.
3. In giving first those approaches as we find of same, much of that presented by Boehme, in illustrating the activities, the various phases of consciousness or awareness, the effect of the astral, the cosmic consciousness of same in its relationships to the emotions and activities of which the body is conscious in its various stages of development, - we find these are identical with those presented by John in Patmos. (1602-3)

9. For if you will read the Book of Revelation with the idea of the body as the interpretation, you will understand yourself and learn to really analyze, psychoanalyze, mentally analyze others. But you will have to learn to apply it in self first. For the motivating force in each one of those patterns represented, is that which the individual entity entertains as the ideal. This is the motivating spirit, the motivating purpose. When it is out of attune, or not coordinating with the First Cause, there may not be the greater unfoldment. For, it is in self that it becomes out of attune. It loses its power or ability. It loses creative energy or its hold upon the First Cause that is the Creator or God. (4083-1)

4. (Q) What should be the basis and fundamental thoughts to be presented in the lesson on THE OPEN DOOR? [see: Revelation 3:20-21 | Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.]
(A) The Christ Spirit is the door, the truth, the way; not the man for, as the Father knoweth thee, so may ye know the Father through the exemplifying of His attributes in the earth. Little by little, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little, for the glory of the Father - not the exaltation of thine own self; for with the exaltation of self - or the gratifying of the desires of flesh - the door closes. [See also 262-28, 16-A.] (262-27)
09/18/1932
16. (Q) Please enlarge on the statement: "Through gratifying of the desires of flesh the door closes." [262-27, Par. 4-A]
(A) As self is a free-willed agent in a material world, with the birthright of the attributes of the sons of God, then gratifying of the earthly desires through the gratifying of the flesh DOES close the door to the spiritual life; for the closing is in self. He is ever ready. The spirit is ever willing; and one needs then to rely upon those promises, not in the passive, but the positive, active manner, that there be kept the door open that He may enter in. (262-28)
03/21/1931
5. As to how each individual is to reach such conclusions, then - as has been outlined - there is seen that first there must be within the information that may be obtained that which corresponds, or which awakens a chord WITHIN each individual, and that rings true to the individual's own plan, own spiritual desire; for the SPIRIT is alive, the FLESH is weak. The carnal desire must sooner or later, as in nature, BURN itself out; so, as has been given, "all things are tried so as by fire". THIS, to SOME, will give a new meaning to MANY of the words of old. (254-55)

15. As to the abilities of the entity and how these may be used in the present earth plane:
16. The abilities lie in that of both lecturer or writer, as pertaining to the mysteries of life, and the mysteries of the relations of the sex with sex and the relation of same to the Divine laws as have been set in motion throughout by the Universal Forces as are manifest in the earth plane, and as the study of same advances, the entity will be able to give much through its own experience and knowledge to the waiting world that so badly needs this understanding of the Universal Forces, as are manifest through the peoples who will acknowledge the inner forces, the inner actions, the inner Divine force as ever gives urges to the individuals in the earth plane. (1100-1)
10/02/1932
8. (Q) What is meant by the throne of the Father?
(A) The approach to being wholly in the at-oneness with the Father, reached only through the abilities to leave the carnal forces and be one in spirit with the Father. (262-29)
03/30/1930
9. (Q) Is it John's will to reincarnate in this environment?
(A) Dependent upon those who may be physically responsible for the entering of John into the mundane sphere, for with the desire this becomes as a law. (137-129)
02/11/1933
28. (Q) (left out of [original rdg.] reading, by request). Is masturbation or self-abuse injurious? [Copies for her on a separate piece of paper.]
(A) Ever injurious, unless it is the activity that comes with the natural raising of the vibrations in system to meet the needs or the excess of those impulses in a body [see: nocturnal emissions?]. (268-2)
VIBRATION
05/09/1930
6. (Q) Page 4 - lines 6 to 13 - ["The one substance vibrates in different dynamic degrees, and sound, heat, light, electricity, are the effections of the one substance by specific degrees of the One Energy, and there is no difference between anything such as electricity and, say iron, save in rate of effection."] Is this correctly stated?
(A) Correctly stated.
7. (Q) Page 5 - lines 5 to 20 - ["The heart in the human body may be compared to the sun of a solar system. Then by analogy the sun is the center of forces of the solar system. Similarly to the blood flowing from the heart through the arterial system, Force emerges from the sun drawn to the opposite polarity of the planets and in this outgoing flow it would be possible to develop magnetism, electricity, light, color, heat, sound, and lastly matter, in the order of lessening dynamic degrees of vibration. Matter then would be the offspring of energy and not the parent, as is often thought."] Is this correctly stated?
(A) Correctly stated, and just what happens in the human organism. (195-70)
01/10/1930
10. (Q) What is meant by "their ability to aid in given direction"?
(A) All force and power as is applied through psychic forces comes from a universal energy, that is directed by individual application. As the entity studies, develops, and seeks, such application may be gained or attained by those forces through which attunement is gained. As is seen in all of the forms of vibration, whether in the mineral, in the vegetable, in the animal, in music, in those of chemics or chemicals, or those of spiritual vibrations. These are of attunement, or are in various FORMS in attunement. As the entity attunes self to the various forms through which the application of the mental abilities of the entity attain or gain access, they pass through these various forces, and may be individual, may be group, may be of higher vibration, or they may be of a lower - if the body is made animal by the excess of the gratification of animal desires, they become of the lower vibration. If that is made of an attunement with the bodies celestial, bodies terrestrial, or of whatever form - these develop through that same vibration; for that as is meted is measured again. To that vibration one attunes self, that response is back. See? (256-2)
08/25/1935
10. (Q) Why did Jesus say, "Touch me not," when He first appeared to Mary after the resurrection?
(A) For the vibrations to which the glorified body was raised would have been the same as a physical body touching a high power current. Why do you say not touch the wire? If ye are in accord, or not in touch with the earth, it doesn't harm; otherwise, it's too bad! (262-87)

5. In the period, then - some hundred, some ninety-eight thousand years before the entry of Ram into India [See 364-3, Par. R2] - there lived in this land of Atlantis one Amilius [?], who had first NOTED that of the separations of the beings as inhabited that portion of the earth's sphere or plane of those peoples into male and female as separate entities, or individuals. As to their forms in the physical sense, these were much RATHER of the nature of THOUGHT FORMS, or able to push out OF THEMSELVES in that direction in which its development took shape in thought - much in the way and manner as the amoeba would in the waters of a stagnant bay, or lake, in the present. As these took form, by the gratifying of their own desire for that as builded or added to the material conditions, they became hardened or set - much in the form of the existent human body of the day, with that of color as partook of its surroundings much in the manner as the chameleon in the present. Hence coming into that form as the red, or the mixture peoples - or colors; known then later by the associations as the RED race. These, then, able to use IN their gradual development all the forces as were manifest in their individual surroundings, passing through those periods of developments as has been followed more closely in that of the yellow, the black, or the white races, in other portions of the world; yet with their immediate surroundings, with the facilities for the developments, these became much speedier in this particular portion of the globe than in others - and while the destruction of this continent and the peoples are far beyond any of that as has been kept as an absolute record, that record in the rocks still remains - as has that influence OF those peoples in that life of those peoples to whom those that did escape during the periods of destruction make or influence the lives of those peoples TO whom they came. As they MAY in the present, either through the direct influence of being regenerated, or re-incarnated into the earth, or through that of the MENTAL application on through the influences as may be had upon thought OF individuals or groups by speaking from that environ. (364-3)
04/28/1932
8. The mental vision by its action upon what body is being builded? On the mental body of the individual in a material world, out of Spirit, out of the ability to have all the attributes of the spiritual or unseen forces - but MATERIALIZED forces, as is necessary from the mental body in a material world MENTALLY trained to, or in, certain directions, or given directions, or following the natural bent of its threefold or threeply body, as is seen in every individual or every entity. As these projected themselves, then we find these DEVELOPMENTS were in this portion of the development in the Atlantean period. How were these used? In much as were from the beginning. Remember there was ever the instruction to those peoples that were to hold to that that would bring for the spiritual forces, rather than the abuses of the abilities - as those with familiar spirits, as those that spoke to or partook of the divinations of those that had passed from the earth's plane, or those that partook of the animal magnetism - that came from the universal consciousness of animal matter as passed into its experience, in its interchange through those periods of integration and disintegration - and the spirit forces possessing those that would lay themselves open to such conditions, for these are
364-10 Page 4
as real as physical bodies if the attunements of the entity are such that it may vision them! and they are about you always, sure! These, then, are entities - sure; whether animal or those endowed with the soul - until they pass through those changes - as there ever has been, see? Also there are those that ever make for those channels in the psychic and occult (we are speaking of, through which man - as it reached that stage, or that position that it became farther and farther from its natural sources, through the same CHARACTER of channel may it communicate with that from which it is a portion of, or the Creative Forces), and hence the terminology arose as 'Good Spirits' and 'Bad Spirits'; for there are those that partake of the earth, or of the carnal forces, rather than of those forces that are of the spiritual or CREATIVE. Those that are destruction are of the Earth. Those that are constructive, then, are the good - or the divine and the devilish, bringing for those developments in their various phases. Hence the greater development of that called occult, or psychic forces, during the Atlantean period - and the use of same, and the abuse of same - was during its first thousand years, as we would call light years; not the light of the star, but the sun goes down and the sun goes down - years. That brought about those cycles, or those changes. Hence we have that which has been given through many of the sources of information, or the channels for individuals - and in those, these, the entity - as a voice upon waters, or as the wind that moved among the reeds and harkened, or again as when the morning stars sang together and the sons of God beheld the coming of man into his own, through the various realms as were brought by the magnifying of, or the deteriorating of, the use of those forces and powers as manifested themselves in a MATERIAL area, or those that partook of carnal to the gratification of that that brought about its continual HARDENING and less ability to harken back through that from WHICH it came, and partaking more and more OF that upon which it became an eater of; or, as is seen even in the material forces in the present: We find those that partake of certain elements, unless these become very well balanced WITH all SOURCES - Of what? That of which there were the first causes, or nature, or natural, or God's sources or forces are. Hence ELEMENTS - not rudiments; elements - as are termed in the terminology of the student of the anatomical, physiological, psychological forces within a body - GERMS! Sure they are germs! for each are as atoms of power - From what? That source from which it has drawn its essence upon what it feeds. Is one feeding, then, its soul? or is one feeding its body? or is one feeding that interbetween (its mental body) to its own undoing, or to those foolishnesses of the simple things of life? Being able, then, to partake OF the physical but not a part of same - but more and more feeding upon those sources from which it emanates itself, or of the SPIRITUAL life, so that the physical body, the mental body, are attuned TO its
364-10 Page 5
soul forces, or its soul source, its Creator, its Maker, in such a way and manner, as it develops. (364-10)

14. (Q) Why don't I have the same degree of spiritual exaltation in my new apartment that I had while living at the Hotel ...? How can I recapture that inner radiance?
(A) Variations in the vibratory influences about the body. Let there be held by those with whom and in whom the body feels those associations that make for the awareness of the high vibratory influences, and we may dispel those that have existed here. (1472-9) [see: Exodus 19:10-15]
08/06/1933
16. (Q) [379]: How may I raise my vibrations so as to contact the Christ?
(A) Making the will, the desire of the heart, one with His, believing in faith, in patience, all becomes possible in Him, through Him to the Father; for He gave it as it is.
Believest thou?
Then, "according to thy faith be it done in thee". (5749-4)

4. (Q) Are the following statements true or false? Comment on each as I read it: The life force rises directly from the Leydig gland through the Gonads, thence to Pineal, and then to the other centers.
(A) This is correct; though, to be sure, as it rises and is distributed through the other centers it returns to the solar plexus area for its impulse through the system.
For the moment, let's consider the variation here in this life force - or as respecting this life force. The question is asked not in relation to the life alone as manifested in the human body, but as to the process through which coordination is attained or gained in and through meditation, see?
Hence physically, as we have indicated, there is first the nucleus - or the union of the first activities; and then the pineal as the long thread activity to the center of the brain, see? Then from there, as development progresses, there are those activities through reflexes to the growth or the developing of the body.
Interpret that variation, then, as being indicated here. One life force is the body-growth, as just described. The other
281-53 Page 2
is the impulse that arises, from the life center, in meditation.
5. (Q) As the life force passes through the glands it illuminates them.
(A) In meditation, yes. In the life growth, yes and no; it illuminates them in their own activity in life growth.
6. (Q) The leydig gland is the same as that we have called the lyden, and is located in the gonads.
(A) It is in and above, or the activity passes through the gonads. Lyden [See 281-53, R2] is the meaning - or the seal, see? while Leydig is the name of the individual who indicated this was the activity. You can call it either of these that you want to.
7. (Q) The life force crosses the solar plexus each time it passes to another center.
(A) In growth, yes. In meditation, yes and no; if there remains the balance as of the attunement, yes.
When we are considering these various phases, the questions should be prepared so that they would not crisscross, or so that there would not be a confusion or a misinterpretation as to what is meant.
You see, what takes place in the developing body, or in life growth (which we have used as a demonstration, or have illustrated), may be different from that which takes place as one attempts to meditate and to distribute the life force in order to aid another - or to control the influence as in healing, or to attain to an attunement in self for a deeper or better understanding. These questions or statements are such that they will be confusing to some; but if they are asked properly there will not be confusion.
8. (Q) The solar plexus is the aerial gland.
(A) No. By the term aerial we mean that impulse or activity that flows in an upward, lifting, raising or rising movement. It is an activity in itself, you see; not as a gland but as an activity UPON glands as it flows in, through, from or to the various centers of activity in the system itself. It is a function. Let's illustrate - possibly this will give an interpretation such that you may understand:
In your radio you have what you call an aerial for communications that are without any visible connection. This is not a part of that making up the framework, yet it is necessary for certain characters of reception or for the better distribution of that which takes place in the instrument as related to communication itself.
So in the physical body the aerial activity is the flow
281-53 Page 3
through the pineal, to and through all the centers. It aids the individual, or is an effective activity for the individual who may consciously attempt to attune, coordinate, or to bring about perfect accord, or to keep a balance in that attempting to be reached or attained through the process.
As the process begins in the physical body, it is along the pineal; or it is the same movement that is the controlling or attuning influence from the mother with the developing forces of the body through the period of gestation.
That is the manner, or the process, or the way in which the impressions are made. So, if there is beauty about the body of the mother through such periods, there are those influences to bring about accord. It may be indicated in contour of face. It may be indicated in the process of change in the activity of the thyroid as related to all the forces, - even to the color of hair or eyes, or the skin's activity; the nails, or more toes than should be - or less, or such activities. Or, the influences existent through such processes might make for a lacking of something in the body itself, pathologically; by the attempt to create a normal balance without the necessary influences being available.
All of this is what we have referred to as the aerial activity, see?
HLC: I see.
EC: Don't say you see if you don't see! You only had a portion of it! Let's illustrate it in this way, so you will comprehend:
Understand the processes of activity through which there are the needs of the aerial in reception. For, of course, it is a matter of vibration in the body, as well as that illustrated in the physical condition. Thus there are activities about a body that is supplying the needs physically and mentally for a developing body, that become a part of the process, see? (281-53)
ATTUNEMENT
01/10/1930
10. (Q) What is meant by "their ability to aid in given direction"?
(A) All force and power as is applied through psychic forces comes from a universal energy, that is directed by individual application. As the entity studies, develops, and seeks, such application may be gained or attained by those forces through which attunement is gained. As is seen in all of the forms of vibration, whether in the mineral, in the vegetable, in the animal, in music, in those of chemics or chemicals, or those of spiritual vibrations. These are of attunement, or are in various FORMS in attunement. As the entity attunes self to the various forms through which the application of the mental abilities of the entity attain or gain access, they pass through these various forces, and may be individual, may be group, may be of higher vibration, or they may be of a lower - if the body is made animal by the excess of the gratification of animal desires, they become of the lower vibration. If that is made of an attunement with the bodies celestial, bodies terrestrial, or of whatever form - these develop through that same vibration; for that as is meted is measured again. To that vibration one attunes self, that response is back. See? (256-2) [see: Matthew 6:19-21 | Matthew 19:16-26 | 1 Thessalonians 5:17]
06/29/1935
19. (Q) In certain types of insanity, is there an etheric body involved? If so, how?
(A) Possession.
Let's for a moment use examples that may show what has oft been expressed from here:
There is the physical body, there is the mental body, there is the soul body. They are One, as the Trinity; yet these may find a manner of expression that is individual unto themselves. The body itself finds its own level in its OWN development. The mind, through anger, may make the body do that which is contrary to the better influences of same; it may make for a change in its environ, its surrounding, contrary to the laws of environment or hereditary forces that are a portion of the 'elan vitale' of each manifested body, with the spirit or the soul of the individual.
Then, through pressure upon some portion of the anatomical structure that would make for the disengaging of the natural flow of the mental body through the physical in its relationships to the soul influence, one may be dispossessed of the mind; thus ye say rightly he is "out of his mind."
Or, where there are certain types or characters of disease found in various portions of the body, there is the lack of the necessary 'vitale' for the resuscitating of the energies that carry on through brain structural forces of a given body. Thus disintegration is produced, and ye call it dementia praecox - by the very smoothing of the indentations necessary for the rotary influence or vital force of the
281-24 Page 4
spirit within same to find expression. Thus derangements come.
Such, then, become possessed as of hearing voices, because of their closeness to the Borderland. Many of these are termed deranged when they may have more of a closeness to the universal than one who may be standing nearby and commenting; yet they are awry when it comes to being normally balanced or healthy for their activity in a material world.
20. (Q) Is it possible to give any advice as to how an individual may raise his own vibrations, or whatever may be necessary, to effect a self-cure?
(A) By raising that attunement of self to the spirit within, that is of the soul - body - about which we have been speaking.
Oft in those conditions where necessary ye have seen produced within a body unusual or abnormal strength, either for physical or mental activity. From whence arose such? WHO hath given thee power? Within what live ye? WHAT is Life?
Is it the ATTUNING of self, then, to same. HOW?
As the body-physical is purified, as the mental body is made wholly at-one with purification or purity, with the life and light within itself, healing comes, strength comes, power comes.
So may an individual effect a healing, through meditation, through attuning not just a side of the mind nor a portion of the body but the whole, to that at-oneness with the spiritual forces within, the gift of the life-force within each body.
For (aside, please), when matter comes into being, what has taken place? The Spirit ye worship as God has MOVED in space and in time to make for that which gives its expression; perhaps as wheat, as corn, as flesh, as whatever may be the movement in that ye call time and space.
Then MAKING self in an at-onement with that Creative Force brings what? That necessary for the activity which has been set in motion and has become manifested to be in accord WITH that First Cause.
Hence do we find it becomes necessary that ye speak, ye act, that way. For whosoever cometh to offer to self, or to make an offering to the throne of mercy or grace, and speaketh unkind of his brother, is only partially awake or aware.
For that which has brought distraughtness, distress, disease in the earth, or in manifestation, is transgression of the law. (281-24)
05/17/1938
38. How, you ask then, may the entity so attune self?
39. By looking on the beauty of a sunset, of a rose, of a lily, or any of those things in nature, and - by the very nature of the mood that these create in self - arouse or bring forth those melodies upon the instruments of the day; the piano, the organ, the reed or even the stringed instruments; to express the nature of these as they express themselves in their unfoldment. (949-12)
03/17/1938
14. For as ye measure to thy fellow man it is measured to thee again. This is an UNCHANGEABLE law! For as ye ask for forgiveness, only in those measures in which ye forgive may
1348-1 Page 3
ye be forgiven. For are ye not seeking to be one with Him? Then only AS ye forgive may ye BE forgiven! Only AS ye show forth love may love be shown forth to thee! Ye cannot rise above that as ye measure, that as ye live. For as the expression of life IS the manifestation of that love, then in the measure as it metes so is it measured to thee. (1348-1)
05/30/1938
13. Then, if you would have love - know that you must show yourself lovely; to hold, to keep, to have, to BE that you desire from others. (1602-1)
06/01/1940
20. But learn that lesson, - if ye would be loved, show thyself lovely; if ye would have friends, show thyself friendly; if ye would not be persecuted or talked about, then do not talk about others; if ye would have forgiveness, then forgive - even as ye would be forgiven. (2271-1)
12/11/1943
10. Urges arise through Mercury, Venus, Saturn, that are even adverse to Jupiter. Thus the urge latent within thee, "Well, let the other fellow do all the work - if I can just rest and have a good time." Just the urge, "Well, if it doesn't cost anything, then it will be very well." All of these indifferences are latent. But these are to test thy strength in good. For Jupiter is the ennobling influence, the impelling force, and this once begun there will be no stopping thee. Then, not only be good, be good for something! If ye would have friends, be friendly. If ye would have love, love others. If ye would have beauty, make everything about thee more beautiful. If ye would learn His ways, talk with Him often; repeating His words often - not merely becoming as rote or habit, but make them practical in thy life and in thy dealings with others. Thus ye will
2780-3 Page 3
find that Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn, all will be expressed in the joy you will find in being that which has brought peace within self. (2780-3)
11/26/1943
33. The acts of those are such that they are ever desirous of the good for their brother, they are ever desirous of the fact that their Lord wait with them, that He walk and talk with them in their meditations, that He be with them in their pleasures. Yea, ye seek oft to call on Him in sorrow. How oft do you ask Him to dine with thee - how oft in thy pleasures? These activities ye may enjoy more when ye do learn these truths so as to make them a part of thy consciousness. Not merely when things go wrong or when you stump your toe should ye ask, but ask ever - and it will be the better. (3376-2)
04/12/1944
9. For if you will read the Book of Revelation with the idea of the body as the interpretation, you will understand yourself and learn to really analyze, psychoanalyze, mentally analyze others. But you will have to learn to apply it in self first. For the motivating force in each one of those patterns represented, is that which the individual entity entertains as the ideal. This is the motivating spirit, the motivating purpose. When it is out of attune, or not coordinating with the First Cause, there may not be the greater unfoldment. For, it is in self that it becomes out of attune. It loses its power or ability. It loses creative energy or its hold upon the First Cause that is the Creator or God. (4083-1)
06/09/1932
6. How develop the psychic forces? So live in body, in mind, that self may be a channel through which the Creative Forces MAY run. How is the current of life or of modern science used in the commercial world? By preparing a channel through which same may run into, or through, that necessary for the use in the material things. So with the body mentally, physically, spiritually, so make the body, the mind, the spiritual influences, a channel - and the NATURAL consequence will be the manifestations.
7. How best, then, to develop those latent forces in one NOW, those who have reached the years of maturity or responsibility in self? Let that mind be in you as was in Him who thought it not robbery to make Himself equal with God, yet took on Himself the burden of all that through His physical suffering, His privation in body, in mind, there might come the blessings to others. Not self, but others. He, or she, that may lose self, then, for others, may DEVELOP those faculties that will give the greater expression of psychic forces in their experience.
8. What shall I read? Wherewithal shall I be clothed? Where shall I dwell? What shall I eat? and the like, become the questions of many. He that taketh thought of such has ALREADY limited the powers that influence through those forces in life. The NATURAL things, as known and given, are the things that make for the better physical body in normal activity. NORMALCY, not extreme in any manner! and there will be shown thee day by day that which will be the necessary for thine OWN development. To some certain amount of exercise, certain amounts of rest, certain amounts of various characters of breathing, of purification, of prayer, of reading - as is found necessary; but of ALL be true to that thou promiseth that source from which all health, all aid, must come! Don't fool yourself; for you CANNOT fool your Maker, and if there is fooling it is yourself - for your brother will soon find you out! (5752-2)
08/06/1933
16. (Q) [379]: How may I raise my vibrations so as to contact the Christ?
(A) Making the will, the desire of the heart, one with His, believing in faith, in patience, all becomes possible in Him, through Him to the Father; for He gave it as it is.
Believest thou?
Then, "according to thy faith be it done in thee". (5749-4)
07/01/1934
11. What are the sources of psychic information? What seekest thou? What art THOU willing to give for thine own soul? Pleasure in the earth for the moment? The satisfying of thine position, that ye may be well-spoken of? As ye seek, as ye sow, as thou hast purposed and desired in thine heart, so shall ye reap, so shall ye receive. (5752-6)
CHASTE (cont.)
04/22/1932
9. The lyden, [leydig] or 'closed gland', is the keeper - as it were - of the door, that would loose and let either passion or the miracle be loosed to enable those seeking to find the Open Door, or the Way to find expression in the attributes of the imaginative forces in their manifestation in the sensory forces of a body; whether to fingertips that would write, to eyes that would see, to voice that would speak, to the whole of the system as would feel those impressions that are attuned with those the infinite by their development and association or with those inter-between, or those just passed over, or as to the unseen forces; for the world of unconsciousness is not in a material change from the physical world save as to its attributes or of its relationships with. Whether the vision has been raised or lowered depends upon that height, depth, breadth or length, it has gone for its source of supply. (294-140)
04/23/1932
6. (Q) Please discuss in detail the functions of the pineal gland.
(A) If this is discussed from the anatomical viewpoint, in the fetus as is begun in first of gestation, we find this may be termed as the Builder. As is seen, the location of same is in the beginning in that of the center or the nucleus about which all of the matter takes its first form, and becomes the brain as is guiding or directing the building of the body as its development in the womb takes place. As it then reaches from the umbilical cord to the brain, there is builded that as is centered about same by the physical attributes of that progenerated from those bringing such an action into being. When there has reached that stage when there is the separation of same, the cord then being broken, this forms then its own basis in the lower portion of the brain, or cerebellum, and through the medulla oblongata to the central portion of the cerebro-spinal cord itself is held intact, and with the removal of same, or pressure on same, the various forms of hallucinations are evident, whether in the developing stage or when it has reached the elderly or older years in an experience. Its functioning, then, is as that, of that, which makes for - or known as - the impulse or imaginative body. Hence one that may be called demented by others, who has hallucinations from a pressure in some portions, may be visioning that which to him is as real (though others may call him crazy) as to those who are supposed to have an even balance of their senses; which [such visioning?] has been formed by the circulation, or the activity of the gland - as it is called - in its incipiency, until it becomes - or is - as a mass without apparent functioning. If the imaginative body, or the trained body (as is called in a material world) is, trained constantly away FROM the activities of same, it - in natural consequence of things in physical being - draws, as it were, within self. Hence senility sets in. Keep the pineal gland operating and you won't grow old - you will always be young!
In this activity, then, as is seen, there is within the genital organs the activity through that as may be called the lyden gland, [Leydig] which has within itself that closed door, or open door, as makes for activity through that to the base of the brain, or the PINEAL gland - as is at the base of the brain itself - which opens up for its activities and associations to those other portions of the brain; that sends out its sensations either through the sensory organism or the sympathetic organism, or the purely physical organism. For they may all act upon, or BE acted upon, for they are a portion of, and kindred of - (now remember, we are speaking from the physical standpoint, or pathological standpoint!) - and are the active forces and active principles in the activities and repulsions, or the actions, of individuals! As these are the activities that come directly from the organs of reproduction, hence, we find many instances where
294-141 Page 3
psychic forces or developments of the individuals, or of an entity, these become abused - or are used in a way and manner as to bring about abuses that make for degenerate reactions, as is considered by individuals, in their various forms or activities to the moral forces as may be set by individuals; but are to the individual the activities of a nature that is an action of, or an impulse of, the organs or functionings that are active through the functioning of the gland itself! Hence we have the variations in functionings of same. Now, as these are turned - or there is the seed, or that within same that may be awakened that makes for those impulses known as attributes that may be added to, that makes for the spiritual life first in that of faith as an opening, that of hope, then to virtue, then to knowledge, then to brotherly love, then to understanding, then to the Christ Consciousness, then to LOVE itself - which was manifest in the body of the Virgin that brought into being that through the concept of, or the conception through the Holy Spirit, by raising that consciousness within same as to PRODUCE that within the organs of the body itself that BECAME, as it were, the begotten of the Father! (294-141)
04/23/1932
3. (Q) What other glands in the body, if any, besides the Leydigian, pineal, and glands of reproduction, are directly connected with psychic development?
(A) These three are the ducts, or glands. In some developments these have reached a stage where they do not function as ducts or glands, but are rather dormant; yet much passes through same, especially for the various stages of a psychical sojourn or development. These, as we find - the genitive organism is as the motor, and the Leydig as a sealed or open door, dependent upon the development or the use same has been put to by the entity in its mental, its spiritual, activity. The mental may have been misused, or used aright. The spiritual activity goes on just the same. It is as the electron that is Life itself; but raised in power and then misdirected may bring death itself, or - as in the activities of the glands as seen, or ducts - that used aright may bring serenity, hope, peace, faith, understanding, and the attributes of its source, as the experience of the entity; or, misdirected, may bring those doubts, fears, apprehensions, contentions, disorders, disruptions, in every portion of the body. Hence these may literally be termed, that the pineal and the Leydig are the SEAT of the soul of an entity.
As to the abilities of physical reproduction, much of the activity of the Leydig makes for that as of embryonic in its activity, or of sterility in its activity. So we have those channels. These are not the psychic forces, please
294-142 Page 2
understand! They are the CHANNELS through which the activities have their impulse! though the manifestations may be in sight, in sound, in speech, in vision, in writing, in dreams, in Urim or Thummim, or in any. For these represent Urim and Thummim in their essence, or in ANY of the RESPONDING forces in a body; but their impulse arises from or through these sources in much the same manner as the heart and the liver are of the physical body the motivating forces, or impulses, that carry the stream of life itself; or as the brain is that motivating center of impulse or mind. These are merely as illustrations that the student may better understand the activity of that being presented. [See subsequent [281] series on glands.] (294-142)
02/17/1932
4. (Q) Explain the information given regarding Amilius [?], who first noted the separation of the peoples into male and female, as it relates to the story in the Bible of Adam and Eve, in the Garden of Eden giving the name of the symbols Adam, Eve, the apple, and the serpent.
(A) This would require a whole period of a lecture period for this alone; for, as is seen, that as is given is the presentation of a teacher of a peoples that separated for that definite purpose of keeping alive in the minds, the hearts, the SOUL minds of entities, that there may be seen their closer relationship to the divine influences of Creative Forces, that brought into being all that appertains
364-5 Page 2
to man's indwelling as man in the form of flesh in this material world. These are presented in symbols of that thought as held by those peoples from whom the physical recorder took those records as compiled, with that gained by himself in and through the entering into that state where the entity's soul mind drew upon the records that are made by the passing of time itself in a material world. As given, these are records not only of the nature as has been termed or called akashic records (that is, of a mental or soul record), but that in a more material nature as set down in stone, that was attempted to be done - HAS been attempted to be done throughout ALL time! WHY does man NOW set in stone those that are representatives of that desired to be kept in mind by those making records for future generations? There are many more materials more lasting, as is known to many.
In the records, then, as this: There are, as seen, the records made by the man in the mount, that this Amilius [?] - Adam, as given - first discerned that from himself, not of the beasts about him, could be drawn - WAS drawn - that which made for the propagation OF beings IN the flesh, that made for that companionship as seen by creation in the material worlds about same. The story, the tale (if chosen to be called such), is one and the same. The apple, as 'the apple of the eye', the desire of that companionship innate in that created, as innate in the Creator, that brought companionship into the creation itself. Get that one!
In this there comes, then, that which is set before that created - or having TAKEN ON that form, able of projecting itself in WHATEVER direction it chose to take, as given; able to make itself OF that environ, in color, in harmony, in WHATEVER source that makes for the spirit of that man would attempt to project in music, in art, in ANY form that may even be conceivable to the mind itself in what may be termed its most lucid moments, in its most esoteric moments, in its highest animation moments; for were He not the SON of the living God made manifest, that He might be the companion in a made world, in material manifested things, with the injunction to subdue all, BRING all in the material things under subjection - all UNDER subjection - by that ability to project itself IN its way? KNOWING itself, as given, to be a portion OF the whole, in, through, of, by the whole? In this desire, then, keep - as the injunction was - thine self separate: OF that seen, but NOT that seen. The apple, then, that desire for that which made for the associations that bring carnal-minded influences of that brought as sex influence, known in a material world, and the partaking of same is that which brought the influence in the lives of that in the symbol of the serpent, that made for that which creates the desire that may be only satisfied in gratification of carnal forces, as partake of the world and its influences about same - rather than of the spiritual
364-5 Page 3
emanations from which it has its source. Will control - inability of will control, if we may put it in common parlance. (364-5)
02/17/1932
2. EC: Yes, we have the information as written here, as given. In following out that as just given, with these changes coming in the experience of Amilius [?] and I [Ai? Ay?], Adam and Eve, the knowledge of their position, or that as is known in the material world today as desires and physical bodily charms, the understanding of sex, sex relationships, came into the experience. With these came the natural fear of that as had been forbidden, that they know themselves to be a part of but not OF that as partook of EARTHLY, or the desires in the manner as were ABOUT them, in that as had been their heritage.
3. Were this turned to that period when this desire, then, becomes consecrated in that accomplished again in the virgin body of the mother of the SON of man, we see this is then crystallized into that, that even that of the flesh may be - with the proper concept, proper desire in all its purity - consecrated to the LIVING forces as manifest by the ability in that body so brought into being, as to make a way of escape for the ERRING man. Hence we have found throughout the ages, so oft the times when conception of truth became rampant with free-love, with the desecration of those things that brought to these in the beginning that of the KNOWLEDGE of their existence, as to that that may be termed - and betimes became - the MORAL, or morality OF a people. Yet this same feeling, this same exaltation that comes from association of kindred bodies - that have their lives consecrated in a purposefulness, that makes for the ability of retaining those of the essence of creation in every virile body - can be made to become the fires that light truth, love, hope, patience, peace, harmony; for they are EVER the key to those influences that fire the imaginations of those that are gifted in ANY form of depicting the high emotions of human experience, whether it be in the one or the other
364-6 Page 2
fields, and hence is judged by those that may not be able, or through desire submit themselves - as did Amilius [?] and I [?] to those ELEMENTS, through the forces in the life as about them. (364-6)
KUNDALINI FIRE/PURIFICATION/REGENERATION
02/16/1935
10. (Q) What were the thoughts and tenets which were studied at the time of my incarnation when in the Temple Beautiful, wherein I was enabled through the activities to become more in accord with developing the body beautiful? [See Life reading, 264-31.]
(A) That the motivative forces that cleanse matter are of the spiritual fires that have removed and do remove the dross of carnal forces. For when the body, when the soul (as the entity did then), makes for no thought of self or of body but that the glory and the fires of love that are of the Creative Forces burn within the mind, the body, the soul, so do they purify the FLESH, the MATTER, the INFLUENCES of being IN a DIMENSIONAL plane. (264-45)
06/21/1936
12. Hence the entity also from those periods of its activity rose to that position in the Temple Beautiful service, which was that organ or that body or that place of service and activity in which there were the trainings as it were of the individuals, from the desires of the natures of flesh itself, purified by the service and activity, through rote - yet the very influences that raised within the bodies that had been brought for purifying the regeneration by the fires of these, by the fires of purification. (264-50)
02/01/1934
9. (Q) Should this body continue giving psychic readings in trance state, or should the body seek to develop to do this consciously; and if so, how should the body go about it?
(A) This, as we find, as has been given, would entail a great deal of an explanation as to what has been the development of the body, as to why or how the body is able in the present to subjugate the consciousness that the soul forces - that have been developed through those experiences where the mental and physical body were used for the beneficent effects for individuals, for groups - may be used for helping others, but now - as has been found through the activities without - these must be subjugated. Until there is regeneration within the activities of the body, or until there has been the purification through the coming into the influences in the activities of the earth those forces that may bring to the body and those associated or surrounded, or to the earth, those that may purify much - won't get much unless he is subjugated! (294-171)
04/12/1934
16. (Q) What should be my soul development in relationship to the work that comes thru me as a channel in this life?
(A) That there is the necessity for the subjugation of the conscious mind of this entity, this body, that the soul in its development may give that which has been experienced by same - or that may be used by the spirit of truth and light for enlightenment in the various phases and spheres of experiences that may make other souls aware of the promises of the Father to the sons of men in the earth - is for the sincere desire of the soul to FIND expression. Yet in a weak, in an uncomely surrounding of a physical body, that in its last [American] experience and sojourn sought rather the aggrandizement of the desires of the body in its relationships with individuals in their activity. Hence the soul development in the present, through the aid of those that have the desire in body, in mind, in heart, in soul, that they may be a channel of blessing, a prop, an aid for this body in its sojourn in its activity in the earth, that it may succor and aid, that it may give of itself to make for the purifying that soul, that the development may come for those with whom, to whom, those things were in error; for they must be met in every experience. And as the fires of flesh are burned, there may come the regeneration - even in the flesh - even in the bodies, that that fire from the very Throne may be made a light to the world through those things, those aids, those counsels that may be as a prop one for the other, and thus fulfil the law of God in their lives, their associations.
Thus may the soul develop, thus may it be called blessed, thus may there come to ALL those things that satisfy, that bring contentment in the inner self, making the abilities to smile through tears, to be joyous even in persecution, to be happy in service to their fellow man. (294-174)
08/23/1940
49. (Q) Through my meditation, has the kundalini fire risen to the head or top of spine at base of skull? If so, was it because of sex abstinence and discipline that this happened?
(A) It has risen at TIMES, but has not remained; else there would NOT be those periods of confusion. For, when this has arisen - and is disseminated properly through the seven centers of the body, it has purified the body from all desire of sex relationships. For, THIS IS an outlet through which one may attain to celibacy - through this activity. That it has NOT REMAINED indicates changes. (2329-1)
17. (Q) What is the significance of the character of the figure of the Sphinx, mentioned above?
(A) In this particular period of Araaraart and of the priest (that began those understandings - and passed through those of the hell in the misinterpretation of same), there was even then the seeking through those channels that are today called archaeological research.
In those periods when the first change had come in the position of the land, there had been an egress of peoples - or THINGS, as would be called today - from the Atlantean land, when the Nile (of Nole, then) emptied into what is now the Atlantic Ocean, on the Congo end of the country. What is now as the Sahara was a fertile land, a city that was builded in the edge of the land, a city of those that worshipped the sun - for the use of its rays were used for supplying from the elements that which is required in the present to be grown through a season; or the abilities to use both those of introgression and retrogression - and mostly retrograded, as we are in the present. The beginnings of these mounds were as an interpretation of that which was crustating in the land. (See, most of the people had tails then!) In those beginnings these were left.
When there was the entrance of Arart and Araaraart, they begin to build upon those mounds which were discovered through research. With the storehouse, or record house (where the records are still to be uncovered), there is a chamber or passage from the right forepaw to this entrance of the record chamber, or record tomb. This may not be entered without an understanding, for those that were left as guards may NOT be passed until after a period of their regeneration in the Mount, or the fifth root race begins.
In the building of the pyramid, and that which is now called the Mystery of Mysteries, this was intended to be a MEMORIAL - as would be termed today - to that counsellor who ruled or governed, or who acted in the capacity of the director in the MATERIAL things in the land. With the return of the priest (as it had been stopped), this was later - by Isis, the queen, or the daughter of Ra - turned so as to present to those peoples in that land the relationships of man and the animal or carnal world with those changes that fade or fall away in their various effect. These may be seen in a different manner presented in many of the various sphinxes, as called, in other portions of the land - as the lion with the man, the various forms of wing, or characterizations in their various developments. These were as presentations of those projections that had been handed down in their various developments of that which becomes man - as in the present. (5748-6)

5. Then, in entering, each soul comes to manifest that it has NOT so well learned in the lessons of hope, patience, tolerance, brotherly love, kindness, gentleness, meekness, and such. These are the fruits of the spirit. And the
505-4 Page 2
manifestation of these attributes in the experience of each soul brings, as the Master of Masters has given, that awareness of self of the soul that is the gift of the Creator, that is the birthright of every individual that may be wasted in attempting to gratify those things that are of the earth, or of the carnal forces, and thus become weakened and less aware of its experience or existence in the affairs of man. Yet the soul finds its experience, no matter in what environ; and the ENVIRON is that created by what the soul - the inner self - has done, does do, about the manifestations of Creative Influences in the relationships to its fellow man. (505-4)
02/11/1934
8. (Q) Please discuss, "How and What are the manifestations of the Father?"
(A) The fruits of the spirit. Gentleness, kindness, the loving word, patience, hope, persistence, and - above all - consistency in thy acts and in thy speech. Be ye glorious in thine activity. Be ye joyous in thy words. For, HAPPY is the man that knoweth that his life bespeaks that the Son and the Spirit of Truth directs the words and the activities of his body! (262-58)

26. (Q) Is continence in marriage advisable except when mating to produce offspring?
(A) This should be, and is, as we have indicated in the matter of education, the OUTCOME of the UNIVERSAL sources of supply of the individuals. For some, yes; in other cases it would be VERY bad on the part of each, while in others it would be bad on one or the other, see?
826-6 Page 6
There should be, then, rather the educating as to the PURPOSES, and HOW - HOW that the force, the vitality, that goes for the gratifying of emotions may be centralized in creating - in the lives of others about the body in all its various phases - spiritual blessings. (826-6)
12/31/1924
6. (Q) As given, this entity may, if will's forces are correctly used, have no need of further development on earth's plane. Does this mean that the entity may, if it
900-15 Page 3
chooses to so live, enter God's Holy of Holies when it leaves earth's plane, or does this mean that the spiritual entity of [900] is merely preparing for another higher plane of eternity, from which development towards God is to continue?
(A) When the conditions as have been outlined and given are considered, this body, this entity, [900], will see, understand, how the present earth's plane so manifests in his self those conditions that would make it possible for him to develop in earth's plane, and so develop in the spiritual plane that the entity would prepare itself, its soul development, of such as would bring it into the realms of the righteous; will's manifestation in the earthly plane being that barrier, for, as has been given, "The spirit is willing, the flesh is weak."
As has been given, God has not willed that ANY should be lost. Man's undoing, then, [is] within himself, by gratifying the desires, the weaknesses of the flesh.
Then, as the development of the spiritual entity brings those environments, through which the soul and the earthly entity must pass, or may pass by the relative law of attraction, the will manifests in the earthly sphere, the soul reaching its development by and between the earthly sojourn and its spiritual entity's conditions. (900-15)

6. (Q) Is it desirable for this body to have sex relationships other than that obtainable through a marriage, if it has its inception in the spiritual mind?
(A) The relationships that come from that [see: sex] which is of the highest vibrations that are experienced in the material world are those that may be found in such relations, and are the basis of that which is termed the original sin; and hence may be easily misunderstood, misconstrued, mis-interpreted in the experience of EVERY individual; but these should be known - that the control of such, rather than being controlled BY such, gives that which makes for the awareness of SPIRITUAL intent and purpose. To overstep those conditions created by those environs in social relations and atmospheres that are brought about by such, however, is to take those leaves with self that may not be EASILY retained. Take not, give not, that that cannot be taken and given in the spirit of "HIS will, not mine, be done!" Each must judge such for themselves, in the light of THEIR understanding. Each has the right to say I will, I will not. (911-5)
11/01/1938
17. Let thy prayer, thy meditation then be - as ye choose this day whom ye will serve, whether the fleshpots of thine own carnal self or the duties, the joys, the harmonies of Him who has given, "Come unto me, ye that are disturbed or heavy laden - take my purpose, my yoke, - learn of me, and ye shall find rest unto thy mental, thy material, thy spiritual self." (1722-1)
12/27/1943
4. We find that there has been the opening of the Lyden (Leydig?) gland, so that the kundaline forces move along the spine to the various centers that open with this attitude, or with these activities of the mental and spiritual forces of the body - much in the same manner as might be illustrated in the foetus that forms from conception. These naturally take form. Here these take form, for they have not in their inception been put to a definite use. (3421-1)
04/15/1944
4. For as we find this entity has more than once been among those who were gifted with what is sometimes called second sight, or the super-activity of the third eye. Whenever there is the opening, then, of the lyden (Leydig) center and the kundaline forces from along the pineal, we find that there are visions of things to come, of things that are happening. (4087-1)
05/06/1944
5. Music should be the career, should be the purpose of the entity in its activity but should be accomplished by its own efforts within itself for the very love of music itself and should be only of the classic and operatic nature.
6. For the entity was a student under Saint Cecilia [see: 2156-1], who attained to the realms close to infinity, or able to interpret the music of the spheres and yet failing in some respects, for the entity became enamored of the Saint and you can guess what happened. (5056-1)
05/14/1941
7. (Q) The fifth problem concerns an explanation of the Life Readings. From a study of these it seems that there is a trend downward, from early incarnations, toward greater earthliness and less mentality. Then there is a swing upward, accompanied by suffering, patience, and understanding. Is this the normal pattern, which results in virtue and oneness with God obtained by free will and mind?
(A) This is correct. It is the pattern as it is set in Him. (5749-14)
(CRUCIFIXION/SACRIFICE) OF SELF/THY WILL BE DONE
10/03/1942
15. (Q) Please give advice that would help in those times when there is the beginning of Kundalini to rise or there is the circulation of Kundalini through the body. What should be the next step?
(A) Surround self with that consciousness of the Christ-Spirit; this by the affirmation of "Let self be surrounded with the Christ-Consciousness, and the DIRECTIONS be through those activities in the body-force itself."
Do not seek the lower influences, but the Christ-Consciousness. (2072-11)
03/27/1941
18. As this life-force is expanded, it moves first from the Leydig center through the adrenals, in what may be termed an upward trend, to the pineal and to the centers in control of
2475-1 Page 3
the emotions - or reflexes through the nerve forces of the body.
19. Thus an entity puts itself, through such an activity, into association or in conjunction with all it has EVER been or may be. For, it loosens the physical consciousness to the universal consciousness.
20. To allow self in a universal state to be controlled, or to be dominated, may become harmful.
21. But to know, to feel, to comprehend as to WHO or as to WHAT is the directing influence when the self-consciousness has been released and the real ego allowed to rise to expression, is to be in that state of the universal consciousness, - which is indicated in this body here, Edgar Cayce, through which there is given this interpretation for [2475].
22. So, in analyzing all this, - first study the variations of what has been the body-temperament, in thought, in food. For, the body-physical becomes that which it assimilates from material nature. The body-mental becomes that it assimilates from both the physical-mental and the spiritual-mental. The soul is ALL of that the entity is, has been or may be.
23. Then, WHO and WHAT would the entity have to direct self in such experiences?
24. To be loosed without a governor, or a director, may easily become harmful.
25. But as we would give, from here, let not such a director be that of an entity. Rather so surround self with the universal consciousness of the CHRIST, as to be directed by that influence as may be committed to thee.
26. Thus the entity may use constructively that which has been attained.
27. But to prevent physical harm, mental harm, - attune self in body and in mind with that influence by which the entity seeks to be directed; not haphazardly, not by chance, but - as of old - choose thou this day WHOM ye will serve: the living God within thee, by thee, through thee? or those influences of knowledge without wisdom, that would enslave or empower thee with the material things which only gratify for the moment?
28. Rather choose thou as he of old, - let others do as they may, but as for thee, serve thou the living God.
29. Thus ye may constructively use that ability of spiritual attunement, which is the birthright of each soul; ye may use it as a helpful influence in thy experiences in the earth.
2475-1 Page 4
30. But make haste SLOWLY! Prepare the body. Prepare the mind, before ye attempt to loosen it in such measures or manners that it may be taken hold upon by those influences which constantly seek expressions of self rather than of a living, constructive influence of a CRUCIFIED Savior.
31. Then, crucify desire in self; that ye may be awakened to the real abilities of helpfulness that lie within thy grasp. (2475-1)
04/16/1944
5. If this entity, in this particular sojourn, would make advancements materially, mentally, spiritually, it must first apply in self that which will wholly cast out fear; fear of others, fear of influences, fear of what may come to pass. For if the entity comes to that consciousness which is a part of the universal consciousness, that ye abide - in body, mind and purpose - as one with the Creative Forces, ye are at peace with the world and have nothing to fear. For God will not allow any soul to be tempted beyond that it is able to bear - if the soul puts its whole trust in the Creative Forces manifested in the Christ-Consciousness. (5030-1)
I AM/KNOW THYSELF
07/19/1935
7. (Q) If my ultimate purpose is to prove the reality or non-reality of life after death to mankind, am I right in continuing my studies of electricity for several more years?
(A) As we have indicated again and again, the study of electrical energies is the basis for finding in the scientific manner the motivative force of animation in matter.
But in the study of this activity of electronic energy in man, LOOK for same in the lower scale and NOT in the ultra frequent.
And this BEING the case, if the purpose is to be sure in self and to give the proper background for that as may be experienced, if the body and the mind are sincere in the desire for HELPFULNESS in this direction and not for the GRATIFYING of self's OWN ego, then the study of ELECTRICAL energies, of electricity, is desirable. But upon this basis should the approach be.
He that believes that God is may approach Him within his OWN self.
As has been given from time immemorial, seek to know thyself. Not as an egotist but the ego within self, the I AM consciousness; but not for the gratifying of self's OWN ego. And he that would find the God in self must believe that He is, and proceed from that premise.
He that would find life, other than in its expressions in materiality or matter, then must believe that it exists. Then it may be with impunity sought; for the aid, for the comfort, for the hope, for the faith that it may build in those experiences of those who have lost their way or who grope in doubt or in fear, those who approach old age - as man counts same. For Life is, and its manifestations in matter ARE of an ELECTRONIC energy.
8. (Q) What course do you believe best to follow to achieve this goal?
(A) It's just been given. Seeking for the LOWER forms of electric forces and their activities in the human body. As to revivify disordered members, as of an electrifying or
440-20 Page 3
revivifying energy to disturbed members, as to the effect of this in its supplying and destroying both; for the revivifying of an individual entity's experience in the sphere of materiality or of matter is, or should be, a proof. And in this phase may greater accomplishments be made.
As we have given for this body, nothing save self stands in the way of the entity MAKING or becoming a channel of blessings to many; BUT SELF! For the entity may be assured, for the entity will find, nothing in heaven or hell or earth may separate thee from the knowledge and the use of the I AM PRESENCE within save selfishness - or self! [Rom. 8:35--39] (440-20)
(CRUCIFIXION/SACRIFICE) OF SELF/THY WILL BE DONE (cont.)
04/14/1943
19. (Q) Do I have the capacity for developing clairvoyance; if so, through what suggested method?
(A) By the closing of self to the physical consciousness, and letting the universal consciousness flow through thy mind, thy body, thy soul; surrounding self with the awareness of His abiding presence with thee, ever. (967-3)
12/03/1931
7. (Q) Will I ever be able to diagnose ailments, and what spirit will give this to me?
(A) Will the body-consciousness intend or desire, that may BE a portion of the entity's work. This will be accomplished by a unison of cosmic or universal forces, as here. This may be raised in ANYONE that so CLEANSES their OWN physical consciousness, or raises the vibrations of their own physical bodies, TO that attunement that brings HEALINGS to others; for, as has been given, "Who healeth all thine infirmities? Who bringeth the hope, the abounding forces of love, in thine life?" As has been given, "Though I give my body to be burned and have not love, it profiteth me nothing. Though I may be able to interpret, though I may prophesy, though I may BRING that faith so as to remove MOUNTAINS, and have not LOVE, it is NOTHING!" Then, first know what love meaneth, "for God so LOVED the world that He gave His Son, that we THROUGH Him might have life, and have it more abundantly. From the abundance of the heart the MOUTH speaketh." Thoughts ARE deeds, and as their currents run bring either those of MIRACLES or crimes. As He purged His own life, so may WE purge OUR lives that they may be one IN Him, and as He laid His hands on many, so may the healing FROM self be to many, wilt thou BELIEVE and ask in HIS name. BE thou, then, the sturdy, staunch guide TO many, as thou wert in days that were counted as but naught! (281-3)
04/23/1932
3. (Q) What other glands in the body, if any, besides the Leydigian, pineal, and glands of reproduction, are directly connected with psychic development?
(A) These three are the ducts, or glands. In some developments these have reached a stage where they do not function as ducts or glands, but are rather dormant; yet much passes through same, especially for the various stages of a psychical sojourn or development. These, as we find - the genitive organism is as the motor, and the Leydig as a sealed or open door, dependent upon the development or the use same has been put to by the entity in its mental, its spiritual, activity. The mental may have been misused, or used aright. The spiritual activity goes on just the same. It is as the electron that is Life itself; but raised in power and then misdirected may bring death itself, or - as in the activities of the glands as seen, or ducts - that used aright may bring serenity, hope, peace, faith, understanding, and the attributes of its source, as the experience of the entity; or, misdirected, may bring those doubts, fears, apprehensions, contentions, disorders, disruptions, in every portion of the body. Hence these may literally be termed, that the pineal and the Leydig are the SEAT of the soul of an entity.
As to the abilities of physical reproduction, much of the activity of the Leydig makes for that as of embryonic in its activity, or of sterility in its activity. So we have those channels. These are not the psychic forces, please
294-142 Page 2
understand! They are the CHANNELS through which the activities have their impulse! though the manifestations may be in sight, in sound, in speech, in vision, in writing, in dreams, in Urim or Thummim, or in any. For these represent Urim and Thummim in their essence, or in ANY of the RESPONDING forces in a body; but their impulse arises from or through these sources in much the same manner as the heart and the liver are of the physical body the motivating forces, or impulses, that carry the stream of life itself; or as the brain is that motivating center of impulse or mind. These are merely as illustrations that the student may better understand the activity of that being presented. [See subsequent [281] series on glands.] (294-142)
[WHAT EXACTLY IS/HOW DOES ONE EXECUTE] GOD'S WILL?

29. The abilities to which, then, the entity may attain in the present sphere lie in the following out of those conditions as have been given, as have been outlined for the entity, in the manner, the nature, the character of earthly labors, ever remembering first: Service to others is the highest service to God. Ever keep self in that way and manner as to be able to answer for the faith that lies within. Ever be in that way of using all force as is manifest before the entity to the glorification of God rather than of self, for the application of self is self's reflection of the God worshiped. Ready for questions. (257-10)
12/14/1932
12. (Q) How can one direct the vibration culminating in the head to the one they would aid?
(A) By THOUGHT. (Now we are speaking of a purely mechanical, metaphysical-spiritual activity that would take place.) One has directed their thought to an individual who is to RECEIVE the blessing of that power or force raised. They raise within themselves that which may be sent out as a power, and it passes to those that would be in attune or accord. Were they present a much greater force may be felt, to be sure; less is the strain upon the physical body. (281-14)
01/27/1935
18. (Q) [683]: To bring a desired THING or CONDITION into manifestation, is it advisable to visualize it by making a PICTURE or just to hold the idea in prayer and let God produce it in His own way without our making a pattern?
(A) The pattern is given thee in the mount. The MOUNT is within thine inner self. To visualize by picturizing is to BECOME idol worshipers. Is this pleasing, with thy conception of thy God that has given, "Have no other gods before me"? The God in self, the God of the universe, then, meets thee in thine inner self. Be patient, and leave it with Him. He knoweth that thou has need of before ye ask. Visualizing is telling Him how it must look when you have received it. Is that thy conception of an All-Wise, All-Merciful Creator? Then, let rather thy service ever be, "Not my will, O God, but Thine be done in me, through me." For all is His. Then, think like it - and, most of all, act like it is. (705-2)
04/27/1937
35. KNOW, self is the only excuse. Self is the only sin; that is, selfishness - and all the others are just a modification of that expression of the ego. But so close is the ego, the I Am, to the GREAT I AM, THAT I AM, that the confusions of duty and privilege and opportunity become so enmeshed in the experience of the entity. (1362-1)
10/14/1936
5. (Q) Page 2, Answer 2 [1265-2, Par. 4-A] of Ck. Life Rdg. Will you give the entity [1265], some manner of surely knowing how to differentiate between God's will and his own?
(A) As has been given, the heart of man as man is to do evil. The heart of God is to do good. This then is the dividing way or influence.
Know within self that what is constructive is of God, whether it is in self, through self, by self that it may be manifested. It is of God; not of self but of God - self becoming in accord with the Creative Forces.
And then in the light of those forces as has been indicated that are the TRUE laws, ye may know, ye may judge. But to every man it has been set as given of old, "There is today before thee good, evil; life, death - CHOOSE thou.
Again, as has been given, man as man CANNOT serve God but man as he gives himself in all of his purposes, all of his desires, may be USED by the Father, God, to manifest HIS force, His influence in the earth. Not of self, for it is the gift of God. It is the birthright then of every soul, of every man, that he may make himself one with the Creative Forces. How do we know these? "My spirit beareth witness with thy spirit, whether ye be sons of God or not."
Hence the injunction that has been given again and again and to all:
Listen to the STILL SMALL VOICE FROM WITHIN! Study to show thyself approved unto God, rightly dividing the words of truth, and let not thy good be evilspoken of by thine inconsistency with what ye live and what ye preach! (1265-3)
04/17/1944
15. (Q) How can one be sure that a decision is in accordance with God's will?
(A) As indicated here before. Ask self in the own conscious self, "Shall I do this or not?" The voice will answer within. Then meditate, ask the same, Yes or No. You may be very sure if thine own conscious self and the divine self
2072-14 Page 3
is in accord, you are truly in that activity indicated, "My spirit beareth witness with thy spirit." You can't get far wrong in following the word, as ye call the word of God. (2072-14)
06/16/1944
21. (Q) What should I do about it?
(A) That's up to the entity. To know what to do and not to do it, it becomes a sin, and to know to do good in certain given directions, these may become as semi-good. Just keep trying in the attitude of asking daily that the entity be guided in doing and choosing that which is the greater benefit, not for the entity alone, but the contribution to making the world a better place for others to live in. (5248-1)
07/17/1939
53. (Q) Have I met the right man?
(A) This is pre-supposing that the entity IS to marry! and this must be determined first by self and not by these sources. Such a condition is not predestined, nor a predisposition save as to whether ye would use the law of grace and mercy, or become amenable to the law and follow same as an animal. (1957-1)
01/07/1934
10. (Q) Does the truth, "By becoming aware in a material world was the only manner through which spiritual forces might become aware of their separation from spiritual surroundings" show that the reincarnation of those who die in childhood is necessary?
(A) As the awareness comes by separation (which is being manifested in materiality as we know it in the present), there is the necessity of the sojourning in EACH experience for the developments of the influences necessary in each soul's environ, each soul's attributes, to become again aware of being in the PRESENCE of the Father. Hence the reincarnation into this or that influence, and those that are only aware of material or carnal influences for a moment may be as GREATLY impressed as were a finite mind for a moment in the presence of Infinity. How long was the experience of Saul in the way to Damascus? How long was the experience of Stephen as he saw the Master standing - not sitting, STANDING? How long was the experience of those that saw the vision that beckoned to them, or any such experience?
When one considers the birth of a soul into the earth, the more often is the body and the body-mind considered than the soul - that is full-grown in a breath. For, did the Father (or Infinity) bring the earth, the worlds into existence, how much greater is a day in the house of the Lord - or a moment in His presence - than a thousand years in carnal forces?
Hence a soul even for a flash, or for a breath, has perhaps experienced even as much as Saul in the way. (262-57)
03/25/1944
9. The spirit is willing. Will ye strengthen thy soul purpose? Will ye attune thy mind? Will ye act in thy body in such measures and manners that ye may know? For He hath promised, "If ye open the door, I will enter and abide with thee - I will walk with thee." It is up to thee. (3902-2)
BIBLE
[see: Exodus 19:10-15 |
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount. And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.] [see: 1472-9]
[see: Jeremiah 1:17-19 | Thou therefore gird [see: to encircle or bind with a flexible band (as a belt) and/or to make fast (as a sword by a belt or clothing with a cord) and/or surround] up thy loins [see: the upper and lower abdominal regions and the region about the hips and/or the pubic region and/or the reproductive organs], and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them. For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land. And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee.]
[see: Matthew 6:19-21 | Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.] [see: 256-2]
[see: Matthew 10:34-39 | Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man�s foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.]
[see: Matthew 16:24-26 | Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?]
[see: Matthew 19:3-12 | The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother�s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven�s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.]
[see: Matthew 19:16-26 | And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.] [see: 256-2]
[see: 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 | Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch [see: sexual relations] a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence [see: conjugal rights]: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud [see: deprive (of sex)] ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.]
[see: 1 Thessalonians 5:17 | Pray without ceasing.] [see: 256-2]

7. (Q) Are the deductions and conclusions arrived at by D. Davidson and H. Aldersmith in their book on The Great Pyramid correct?
(A) Many of these that have been taken as deductions are correct. Many are far overdrawn. Only an initiate may understand. (5748-5)

23. (Q) The eleventh problem concerns a parallel with Christianity. Is Gnosticism the closest type of Christianity to that which is given through this source?
(A) This is a parallel, and was the commonly accepted one until there began to be set rules in which there were the attempts to take short cuts. And there are none in Christianity! (5749-14)

6. As may be surmised from the fact that the ancients in all lands have and did place the interest in numbers, these indicate that individuals under different circumstances gave to numbers certain valuations, principally according to the INFLUENCES same were SUPPOSED to have upon the ritual or the form of individual worship in some manner or another. Hence we see that under varying circumstances there were attributed certain powers to certain numbers, according to the form or ritual of that individual group. As to whether these actually exist or not depended much upon the confidence or faith of the subjects in that ritual, that rite, that belief; yet when one looks about them they may see that in a scientific manner there are numbers that break or form combinations in nature itself, or that in man's response to
5751-1 Page 2
the conditions IN nature there are the recurrent conditions or circumstances in certain numbers. As we find in music, that the scale itself is composed of so many tones, tone values, and that those numbers that are half pitch or half tones are those that in most of the formulas given are the breaking points or divisions in numbers. The same may be seen in color combination, that when certain tones or the valuation of tone in color, that in the combination of certain numbers these begin to alter or change much in the same manner or way as they do in tones in music. The same may also be illustrated in the elements themselves, when there is the division of those elements these same numbers, same conditions, are seen in the elements in their variations themselves. Then, is it any WONDER that the ancients - or even the students of the mystic, or the mental or occult forces of today give credence or valuation to numerology, or numbers?
7. Then, what form, what force, has given the most perfect illustration of HOW numbers - either in individual life or individuals' experiences in life - affect individuals; or the numbers themselves, and as individuals, or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, OR what not - how do the NUMBERS THEMSELVES value? Possibly the best authority on such is that of the Talismanic, or that obtained from the Talmud - which is a combination of the ancient Persian or Chaldean, Egyptian, Indian, Indo-China, and such.
