THOUGHT VIBRATIONS
There are numerous Realms of existence of which our own particular earth plane is but one. Yes, all these Realms are interpenetrating based on vibration. Thus, many Realms can occupy the same time and space, invisible to one another, because they are of different vibrations.
Those who dwell in the Realms of Spirit, live within their own particular thought band and are conscious only of those things that come within it. Or if they lower their vibration, they can reach the Realms below theirs but they cannot rise above their own highest realm without assistance from above. They can only sink down. That is, you have only so much Light and no more; so you can only reduce that Light from its highest vibration.
Yes, a Spirit, by increasing or decreasing its vibration (if it knows how) can move from realm to realm. It may help you to know and understand this Truth if you do not think of the different realms as physical levels, but as simply different states of vibration with each realm capable of occupying the same space at the same time. It is something like alcohol filling the holes in water and then ether filling the holes in the water-alcohol mixture. The volume doesn't change, but all three occupy the same space.
Most Mediumship is simply the transformation of mental vibrations from the sitter to the Medium. The Medium jumps the barrier between herself and the sitter entering the brain and the nervous system of the sitter. Thus the thoughts, feelings, and mental images of the sitter are transferred to the Medium. The stronger your thoughts and feelings have been in the last 24 hours, the more information the Medium pulls from you and then repeats back to you, thus amazing you with the accuracy of how you perceive yourself and your concerns. The information is arrived at through the mind of the sitter by the Medium feeling the sitter's emotional and mental vibrations and noting the personal appearance and body language as the reading moves along.
Mediums can only contact spirits who belong to the same spiritual state of life and who possessed, when upon earth, a similar mental and magnetic temperament as the Medium.
Yes, some Mediums are acted upon through thought diffusion, whereas certain thoughts circulate around various mental chambers of the human mind, and by certain positive or negative ideas, these currents of thought are brought to bear by the magnetic affinity of the spirits acting upon the sensitive (Medium). These spirits gradually impress their force and ultimately (in the majority of cases) subject the Medium to their dominant ideas and teachings.
This diffusion of thought ideas is in active operation upon the mental mind in every realm. Thus on earth we have the "One-Hundredth Monkey Principle" where, after teaching one hundred monkeys to wash their potatoes before eating them, monkeys all over the world began washing their potatoes before eating them (not all monkeys, only those of a similar psyche). It is hereby that ideas become Universal if the projecting minds are potent enough. Most people never dream that instead of having independent, self-conscious thoughts, that they are the Mediumistic sensitives of stronger, more potent, projecting minds.
Mental vibrations emanating from the brain take on the form of "wave-like" movements in the ether, thus the term "thought waves." These thought waves are constantly being sent forth from the brains of all persons and after being sent forth, they spread in space from the immediate neighbourhood of the person originating them to a distance proportional to the strength and power energizing the original mental state. Yes, thought waves have the power of awakening and arousing into activity corresponding mental states in other persons coming within their field of force, according to the Law of Mental Induction. The activity aroused in the mind of the receiving person is accomplished by setting into vibratory motion the mind-substance (brain sand as some call it) of that person.
Most thoughts are sent forth with no focused power or energy of Desire and Feeling and are therefore weak in their effect upon others. However, some thoughts are sent forth vitalized, with strong Desire and Feeling, and focused with a clear ideal and mental picture. Consequently, these thoughts exert a far greater degree of effect upon the minds of others with whom they come in contact.
Remember that the vibratory force of thought waves persist for sometime after their original emanation, perhaps even long after the sender has passed from the earth plane, as in the case of Jesus.
Yes, there are earthly places filled with the strong thought vibrations from minds long since passed out of the body. Every place has a mental atmosphere of its own, the same arising from the thought vibration set in motion by the various persons who have inhabited or occupied them. For example, Every city has its own mental atmosphere which has its effects upon persons moving into it or just visiting. Thus you either sink to the general level of that city or else, if you are strong enough, you help to change the mental tone of the place. Another example, Enter a church and feel its thought vibrations then go to a "Mall" and feel the thought vibrations there, then visit a police station or a jail and feel the thought vibrations there. Think. Think more about what has been said here in this Chapter.
We habitually receive, and accept more readily, those thought vibrations which are in harmony with our own average habitual mental states and according to the same general principle, we tend to habitually reject, and/or fail to receive, those thought vibrations which are inharmonious to us for the same reason.
The person who acquaints himself with these Laws of Mental Vibration and Thought Transference, acquires a practical knowledge which enables him to render himself immune to objectionable and undesirable mental currents, or thought waves as we call them.
One such technique, which may not work for every one, is that when an objectionable or undesired thought surfaces in your consciousness, close your eyes gently and picture yourself as standing in a fast flowing river. Between you and the river bank is a small shoreline of mud and on the river bank stands a big old tree, full leafed. Now make that image of yourself step through the mud and up unto the river bank, such that you are standing under the tree. Then you turn, and while standing under the tree, you now watch the river flowing by as you are now separated from that stream. Hold this vision as long as you can. Then open your eyes and continue about your business as you were before receiving that undesirable thought, sending a Loving thought of thanks to your Father or Mother and the other Blessed Ones of Light.
Now we come to the part where we must understand that we are dealing with the Light cell of Divinity contained within the brain. This Light cell can increase or decrease in Illumination, according to the makeup of that mind, but it can never change from being that of Divinity. However, thoughts may change dozens of times a minute because for the most part they are only reflexes from the sub-conscious (Heart).
This sub-conscious is no portion of the brain itself, but is a ganglia of disinterested cells located just below the heart centre, the solar plexus. This is the centre Jesus referred to as the Heart, reading in part Matthew 15:18, "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart. . ." And reading Luke 6:45, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh." For these disinterested cells know neither impurity nor imperfection. They accept and store everything that is thought, spoken, or heard (if perceived as true), and they have no means of discriminating. However, they do repeat that which they have stored and if the man hears these thoughts often enough, the man soon begins to believe what is repeated is Truth. Followed to the extreme, the man is eventually unable to segregate Truth from falsehood.
It is here that man can use his God given Free Will to induce into his Heart (sub-conscious), to believe and store away any thought put forth by himself or another. This group of disinterested cells can be influenced to let go of all false statements or falsehoods and accept and register true and absolute statements simply by talking directly to them.
Treat these cells (which are located in the region of the solar plexus) as the little child you wish to develop along the True Path of Light; even give your lower self a name if you wish to become personally closer. Then continuously suggest that it let go of all false and negative thoughts, ideals, qualities, and statements as you discover those undesirable things which have been stored within. Do this always, and soon you will become aware that only true and constructive statements are being registered in your will which, in turn, reflects to you and through you. From here will follow an awareness of a great serenity of Purpose.
REMEMBER: these disinterested cells have no way of discriminating except as they are taught. You will find that they are very easily led or controlled, manageable, and most willing to be led and influenced by the Truth. Train these hundreds of thousands of cells to do the right thing at the right time and in the right place. Verily we say unto you, impel them to be obedient at all times and be sincere in your commands and the child shall listen.
Knowing and applying this Truth has helped many people to actively bound forth in their Spiritual Development.
"TRY" THE SPIRITS
It has never been denied that sometimes there are genuine communications from departed spirits or that there are cases of benevolent communications from Beings outside our volition. But the dangers of unfriendly or meddlesome or evil spirits is far greater than you can imagine. Jesus says, "Beloved, Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of the Light. For even the devilish spirits of Darkness come claiming to be Angels of Light."
Any spirit can appear to you as beautiful, noble, and serene if this is how your mind wishes to see them. Know this FACT and then look hard at them, and you will really see them as they are, sometimes ferocious, brutally, scary, with darkened countenance, just as in your dreams where you see someone you know one second, and the next second he is someone or something different.
In the spirit world our thoughts provide the substance of creation. Seek to see beauty in ugliness and you truly can deceive yourself, just as you do on earth when you trust a thief to give you the proper change when you purchase something. He looked so nice that you didn't look for the signs he was giving you that he was a thief. Evil always has "tell-tale" signs . . . and so does good.
Hereby know the spirits that are not of the Light (God). Unless the spirits are the Blessed Ones of Great Brilliance and you see Them in that Blinding Light which is beyond description of mere earthly words, they can be the false prophets. Therefore, do not place 100% trust in anything they tell you (no matter what their "track record" shows). And Remember this always, a confident man on earth doesn't deceive you right away; first he builds on your greed and selfishness, then he "takes you"!
The spirits of this world speak of this world and its earth earthly things. The Blessed Ones of Light are almost never concerned with the earth earthly affairs of men and women (as are the familiar spirits of Darkness). And with the Blessed Ones of Light, their intentions are most praiseworthy. The Blessed Ones seek nothing for themselves or for any earthly individual, only for humanity as a whole.
If you don't know of or believe in the spirit world of Light, the Blessed Ones see you as not yet ready to partake in the Great Work. Then all that is left to you are the spirits from those Darkened Realms of the Psychic and Lower levels, the spirits of Spiritism. Also the Blessed Ones of Light will not prostitute their Divine Powers so that you can have material gain just for the sake of having material gain. For whosoever is faithless in the little things, how can they ever be trusted with the Greater Works and the POWER of the Light?
The time has come to open your "eye single" and become aware of a new and lovely universe of Light; a universe which is here and now, peopled with Angelic Beings known as the Blessed Ones of Light. Yes, from the beginning of time the Great Work has been going on all around the world, with History repeating itself from time to time as the devilish spirits of Darkness cause humanity to fall asleep as to their identity and spiritual progression, and the Blessed Ones of Light must re-awaken us.
THIS LITTLE BOOK HAS BEEN DIRECTED TO THOSE SELFLESS MEDIUMS WHOSE PRIME OBJECTIVE IS SERVICE TO ALL HUMANITY!
Desire and Effort is the only way of reaching the ultimate goal of communication with the Blessed Ones of Light and then Union with your Father or Mother, the Spirit-part of yourself still in the Light.
The spirits of Spiritism cannot convince people of the existence of the Light or of a place superior to theirs, because they know not the place, nor the means of how to get there otherwise they would be there and Mediums would not be contacting them through Spiritism.
Spiritism Cannot Contact The Blessed Ones of Light . . . Only by Spiritualizing your Physical Consciousness (Spiritualism) can Those Blessed Ones Be Reached!
Yes, as you ascend higher on the scale of spiritual development you become the recipient of the greater knowledge from the higher Blessed Ones of Light; and the spirits of Darkness leave to find less perfect organisms to work their dirty deeds through. Remember, there are bad spirits as well as good spirits. If you suspect a bad spirit, then live a good spiritual life and the evil one will tire and leave you for better haunting grounds. Of course it will return now and then, just to see if you are up to your old "tricks," or to see if it can influence you to be up to your old tricks; tricks that fed this evil spirit's thirst and hunger.
YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT!
Man is constantly surrounded by spirits who try every moment they can to produce disturbances. If he could constantly see them, he would be in trouble and they would hamper his development. Thus, man, believing himself alone, acts more freely to develop himself. But spirits of a like nature, flock to those who can be disturbed more often than they do to those who are less susceptible to disturbance. The stronger spirit, or spirits, become the Guide(s) or, as the Bible refers to them, the Familiar Spirits of the Medium. The remaining weaker spirits take a "back seat" until such an opportunity presents the right condition for their thought interference.
Yes, minds in the body are partial to spirits. Therefore, it is essential that incarnates who make contact with spirits should make sure that their own vessels are purified. Why? Because "like-attracts-like" and the communicants will make contact with exactly what they, themselves, are.
Some spirits amuse themselves a little bit and some spirits amuse themselves a lot. They are in spirit just what they were on earth, just as you shall be in spirit what you are here on earth. Spirits can be loving or hateful, helping or hindering, caring or grudging, assisting or tricksters, etc. etc. etc., or like most people, at different times during their earthly lives, a combination.
Yes, spirits differ in their degree of Wisdom just as minds in the body differ. All are not equally advanced in the Wisdom of God. The mind of an unadvanced spirit seeks a Medium who will not be ashamed of the ignorance acknowledged. But when the Medium is advanced to a condition of Wisdom which makes the ignorance unacceptable, the spirit mist also either advance or leave the Medium to other Guardians. An advanced mind in the body will not be controlled by spirits inferior to itself and neither will inferior spirits waste their time attempting it.
Mediums are chosen by spirits favourable to the objectives they wish to attain. If a person can be controlled by a spirit, and if that person would be ignorant of such control, a Higher Circle of spirits would not choose such a person to be a Medium of their Messages. Why? Because it would be unwise for a spirit to employ a Medium who did not understand the subject of which he was the bearer. For when a Medium receives a communication that he does not understand, it does him no good. Likewise when he receives Knowledge and Wisdom above his capacity of comprehension - it does him no good. For in these cases his condition becomes such that he rebels against the Wisdom which was attempted to be unfolded to his mind, and thus he is not instructed by such Wisdom.
The most advanced spirits are drawn by corresponding conditions to Mediums whose minds can appreciate the Wisdom which they possess. It is the Law of Mind that congenial affinities Love each other, are attracted to each other, and will sympathize with each other.
The Medium who DESIRES earthly silver and gold (earthly treasures) will most assuredly be disappointed when the time for the transition comes. Her whole life shall end in confusion and disappointment. Her Desire and Anxiety for those earthly treasures will have become such excitement that her goals will have superseded the Control and Wisdom which could have been exercised by the Blessed Ones to enlighten her mind. She shall see that those Psychic Spirits deceived her through her own earthly conditions. Woe, Woe, Woe, another lesson learned the hard way - hopefully.
THE GREAT WORK
As Jesus says in Matthew 6:33, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God." Yes, the FIRST part of the Great Work is to make contact with the Light of your Father which is found Within. And how do you do this? By Spiritualizing Your Physical Consciousness just as we have been trying to tell you in so many different ways throughout this Little Book. Then by a continuous EFFORT, based on your DESIRE to do so, we are to continue to Spiritualize our physical consciousness for by doing so, Jesus says, " . . . and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Now, because the Great Work is dual just as everything in nature is a neutral binary, the SECOND part of the Great Work is to Teach others about Life Eternal, How To Spiritualize their physical consciousness, and to give them those Truths of the Light which you receive. REMEMBER, This Wisdom of God is for your children, and your children's children, and your children's children's children, and so on and so on. Yes,
(1) First the personal Experience of contact with the Light of your Higher Self and,
(2) Then the Teaching of this Process to others so that they can make contact with their God or Goddess and likewise join in the Great Work.
Yes, FEW there be that find the "Way" to Life Eternal in the Light (Heaven). So, if you are not succeeding in making contact with the Light of your Father, you had better re-evaluate yourself as to whether you truly have a Sincere Desire to help all humanity and how much Effort you are putting forth. What is your real motive? Why do you want these experiences and knowledge? Is it to help yourself only or to help all of humanity even your enemies? Always Remember This, "Motive" produces the Experiences or prevents them! Worry not of the results of your Efforts, but continue always in the Great Work of sowing the seeds of Light and Truth.
Our Purpose, and Work, is the same singleness of Purpose as was, and as is, Jesus', to find the Lost Sheep and the other sheep, and feed them the Truths concerning the Light of Eternal Life, Teaching them HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN through the Spiritualization of Their Physical Consciousness. Sow the Seeds of Kindness to all humanity. Go forth and Teach the people of the earth How To spiritualize their physical consciousness such that they too can enter into the Fold of Light.
