Another question may arise in the mind of the individual: If the atomic structures in the body are supported by higher dimensions, why then is it necessary to eat? My dear friends, it is not necessary to eat. Here again is a great deal of preconditioning in the body. Man has accepted the fact and so constituted his body with the alimentary canal and various other organic methods of assimilation simply by preconditioning. The body, in its entirety, is in a sense directly the result of such preconditioning and such ideas.
I would point out to you that there are actual, authenticated case histories of many people on the earth who have lived for many years without food passing their lips. In the act of eating, you are merely taking into your body another dimension of atomic energy, since all food dissolves into atomic structures similar to the structures in your body. Thus you are merely combining in your body another element or dimension of atomic energy. Sooner or later, in your evolution, you will completely dissociate yourself from the idea that eating is necessary. And in doing so, your body will begin to function in another dimension, whereby the energies of its nature come in a much greater abundance and through the more natural channels of emergence in the various psychic centers of your body. You will, just as was demonstrated in the Bible, literally be fed by the ravens; the ravens of course were not actual or real. The men who wrote the Bible simply had to understand these things in their own way; so they said the ravens fed the man, but as in the case of many Avatars, or men of a more highly developed nature, they have found ways and means of infusing into their bodies, the elements which are necessary for the maintenance of these atomic structures.
If we think for a moment, is it not logical that since the atoms themselves are merely products of a higher dimension and are supported by such energies, if we have the wisdom and the intelligence to further propagate this understanding, then food will become entirely unnecessary? This is all in itself a part of your own spiritual progression and growth, principles which you will gradually infuse into the construction of your psychic body, gradually displacing the older vibrations which are merely preconditioned concepts of materialism and material values, as they exist about you in your earth life. This is the primary purpose of reincarnation, inasmuch as a house cannot be built without a foundation. So if man is to be a man, he must understand who he is, and how he comes into existence, and this naturally must follow from the very lowest order of conception into the very highest.
Man cannot visualize himself or his fellow men in any portion or in his entirety until he himself has walked through the same pathway of experience and so has taken unto himself the knowledge and wisdom of the occurrence of the emotional experience. As has been told to you, the experience itself is of no consequence. Experience is Infinite in nature, and it is merely the way in which you relate yourself to the experience. In the direct proportion as you relate yourself to experience, so is the need of the Superconsciousness projected into your consciousness; thus you automatically select according to the proportion in which you are able to achieve the elements of these emotional experiences.
Some people say that God will never give man a problem larger than he is able to solve. It would be more correct to say that a man would never give unto himself, anything which he is unable to solve. It is NOT the Immutable Ever-present and Omnipotent God Force which selects or determines any one particular quotient of experience or emotionalism in our lives. We Ourselves are acting as an agent and select in proportion to that which we have either preconditioned for ourselves, or into which we can evolve in the natural sequence and order of logic and reason, as we have so propounded and impounded these virtues in our psychic experiences.
Now you have formed somewhat of an idea of the watch, the balance wheel, and the numerous gears; and that you are somehow linked in this manner with the vibratory mechanisms of these higher dimensions to God Himself. So, we shall begin to understand how it is that hypnotism can exist. Hypnotism merely means that another individual’s mind (the hypnotist’s) slips in somewhere between these gears or the Life Cycle of the individual’s conscious mind, because the conscious mind is the balance wheel. It was also similarized as the experiences of the subconscious, as they are contained in the psychic vortexes and wave lengths of the individual; and each act and each consequence merely flashes in the mind, just as on the television screen, the various relative factors which involve these emotional experiences. Every individual immediately tunes himself in, as it were, or there flashes in his conscious mind, the result, or the psychic impact, of any one or a dozen, or perhaps a hundred such emotional experiences. He thus compounds his immediate actions as a direct result of such reactionary values of the impounding and the derivatives of such emotionalism.
The subconscious mind can therefore be said to not always be productive of the most reasonable and logical equations in man’s lifetime. As a consequence, the individual can likewise be said to be unable to think constructively, or we say that he is not a clear thinker. This statement is quite true. The average individual, unless he is clairvoyant or well trained, cannot link himself up – as you are doing – to become the subject of some higher and more intelligent forces, with which the Celestial Universes of God abound so abundantly.
The mere fact that man, at numerous times, brings expressions into his world which are indicative of realistic and creative genius far in advance of his time, proves conclusively the principles of clairvoyance, which are an invaluable adjunct to the process of constructive thinking. It becomes quite clearly apparent that in this process he has linked himself in a clairvoyant fashion to the higher dimensions of his consciousness.
This was the principle used by Sir Isaac Newton who in sitting in meditation, linked himself with the higher dimensions and impounded these various constructive ideas in his mind, which he later wrote down. By reading his biography you will know that his concepts were far in advance of his time. The same principles and processes of development can be applied to every person who may become what is called a constructive thinker, and thus may add something to the posterity of mankind. In a sense, the objective or conscious mind of the individual is not a thinking mechanism. It is a correlative mechanism which merely relates and re-relates man to the emotional experiences of his past lives. The pure tenet of constructive thinking lies within the domain of the superconsciousness and relates the mind to the Infinite Wisdom of God’s Nature.
Let us return for a moment to that great center in which we were previously examining the various spiritual malefactors of those individuals who have perverted their domain of progression to the point where they became atrophied or obsessed with certain conditions.
In this section is a woman who was quite recently brought here with a rather compounded condition of both thought and entity obsessions. Her history began on the earth many years ago. When she had arrived somewhere past the middle age of her life, the passing of her husband left her feeling very keenly the loss of his love and companionship; and knowing nothing of the spiritual worlds and dimensions, for several years she grieved insufferably for him. She thus constructed in her mind a thought-form body, which became very adhesively related to her own psychic structures. Now, such unbalanced conditions in the psychic natures of people have somewhat of a way of leveling off, or of finding a point of balance, or as we call it, a valence. So it was that to divert her from a sure course of insanity, the forces which were directly linked to her nature and which were helping her, created the condition within her mind that made her somewhat of a hypochondriac.
In other words, she began developing numerous physical symptoms of pain, or the consciousness that she was disturbed by the fact that she was ill. This did indeed take her mind off the influence of the thought-form of her husband; and she began making many trips back and forth to numerous doctors who did, or did not satisfy her own immediate needs of diagnosis.
There was one particular practitioner who went so far as to anesthetize her and make an initial incision in her abdomen, even though there was nothing wrong with her. Immediately following the operation she recovered from an imaginary illness which cost her a great sum of money. But, as it so developed, these obsessive processes became more and more developed so that she began to attract unto herself, other similar entities who were vibrating in such harmonious conjunction with her own state of consciousness, and that when she was brought here, she had a dozen or so of these retarded and malformed entities hovering about her, who had torn shreds from her psychic body and had entwined themselves into these shreds.
We had to very carefully remove these obsessive entities and return them to their respective positions. We had also to remove the psychic obsessions of the thought-form body, which was supposedly her husband. He, himself, was instrumental in bringing about this whole treatment as he was somewhat of an advanced soul who had lived many years in a spiritual dimension before his passing. He was able to be very constructively useful in bringing about a more happy and satisfactory conclusion to this case. Now her psychic body will be returned to an astral world with him, into such a dimension where he will be able gradually to infiltrate into her consciousness the necessary ingredients of thought and consciousness which will enable her to function properly in that dimension. Later on, she may wish to reincarnate into the world thereby enabling her more strongly to reinforce the psychic structures of her body and to reinstate herself into the natural sequence of her evolution.
Let us go a little further into the concepts of hypnotism. It can be, and is something quite useful as an adjunct to the position or doctrine of your earth at this time; for anesthesia in the form of hypnotism is gradually being used in dentistry and in numerous other types of corrective therapies which involve certain dissections of the body which induce a great deal of pain into the consciousness of the individual.
Many persons are highly susceptible to the effects of anesthesia, for as every doctor knows, different types of anesthesia must be used in individual cases. The effect of anesthesia in itself is something on the order of hypnosis, inasmuch as a drug, or a violently agitated atomic structure, is interjected into the normal process of, shall I say, the little wheels in the watch or the cycle of the conscious expression of the individual. The highly agitated atomic structure, known as ether, is similar to the propane solvents contained in other types of anesthetics.
The nitrous oxide, which is used by the dentist, has some such similar effect; its whole effect, however, lies strictly in the domain of disrupting the natural continuity of cycles, which permits the conscious correlation of existence into the objective mind of the individual. The impact of these drugs and the natural disruption, or the continuity of psychic disruption, often brings about rather drastic results. These results may or may not be immediately felt by the person who was subjected to the effects of these anesthetic agents.
If you will think for a moment, you will see that it is a case of psychical transference into the objective consciousness of the individual and that it must resolve itself into dimensional factors, or frequency vibrations. But there must also be an element of synchronization, otherwise the individual could not properly integrate the faculty of memory or conscious experience into the emotional impact as he has so lived in his various experiences.
This lack of synchronization happens many times in the cases of individuals who have been anesthetized. In some future day some such synchronization and counter-synchronization may be set up in these vibratory structures of his nature so that he may become out of tune or alignment with himself. A more advanced and more easily understood case of lack of synchronization is sometimes called senility, or the disease of the mentally aged people, who sometimes lack a great deal of the co-ordinative relationships in their daily lives. Some of the wheels in their vibratory structures are spinning madly; others are at a standstill for lack of proper cohesive vibratory relationship. Consequently, they are unable to factually relate experience with experience in a proportionate or a balanced form, as it might be expressed in the balance wheel of the watch.
