The essential ingredients which are so necessary for the attainment of these different dimensional factors of personal concept, do not at the present time reside in your own third dimensional world. You cannot study them at any of your universities or academies, nor can you learn them in any of the buildings which are dedicated to arts and sciences, as they are now expressed in the world. They are, however, contained in your Superconsciousness; as Jesus said, “The Kingdom of Heaven is within.” The principles necessary for your evolvement into these conscious concepts of the higher dimensions, are the precepts which involve absolute faith. You must grasp the concept that you are absolutely unlimited; that God too is also absolutely unlimited in his expression; and that to be thus progressive you must be God-like in your movements and in your progression through the different dimensions.

Although God has conceived and contrived the world about you as a place which might be called one of sin and error, yet it is through these various processes that you begin to evolve a natural conclusion or a sequence in your own philosophical progression. As Kung Fu says, “Evil is conceived only in the eyes of him who beholds evil”; consequently you have contrived about you tremendous pressures of guilt complexes which reside purely in the realm of the fanciful imagination of the individual. I need not tell you that if you become critical of another person’s sinful or erroneous ways, you will conceive his ways in your own mind; you too become an active participant; and you are motivating and becoming an unwitting victim of the same sins and error, in your own life. The very object of your life experience and the most reasonable thing to do in your own life is to eliminate the word sin from your mind, as well as the ability to conceive sin in your own mind. As you go about your daily life, you must see that each individual about you is manifesting some of the God-like qualities of his nature. Look first for the virtues which link him to the more constructive and logical processes of life. Do not look for his faults and shortcomings, for if you conceive the faults and shortcomings of another, you are automatically tuning yourself into the faults and shortcomings of your own nature and the most dominant traits of your own personality.

Another concept to remember is the fact that the wisdom and logic and power of God’s Infinite Mind is always progressive and constructive in nature. It is never at any time selfish or personalized within the individual concept. In other words, we must go about us using the wisdom or knowledge which we have imbued into our own consciousness for the constructive and the beneficial welfare of our fellow beings. We must know that if at any time we begin to use the God-like virtues of our own nature for our own selfish benefit, we shall immediately cease to realize the value of these benefits. For the value of these benefits is not contained in any personal expression, but only in the universal perception that man is individually and collectively a universal brotherhood and is functioning as a part of the Divine expression of God.

I might add at this moment that these universal precepts of consciousness were contained in the doctrines of expression of the Avatars who have existed on the earth at different times. Jesus, Zoroaster, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammad, and many others wrote and expressed in their various philosophies these same concepts of the Divine origin and functioning of man in his different dimensions; and so, my beloved brothers and sisters, be not confused in the innumerable and sometimes difficult conclusions in the vastness of the philosophies of the many ages which have transpired in the histories of the earth. Although your libraries in the universities and in the cities about you contain many thousands of books on philosophy, as has been explained to you in these different transmissions, yet it is very obvious that an individual could reincarnate to the earth many lifetimes, reading in each lifetime many of these books and still not arrive at any conclusion within his own nature. Instead, each incarnation might find him only more confused with all this knowledge for which he was not properly oriented.

We must always conclude that the assimilation of knowledge and wisdom must take place and transpire within its proper dimension and with the proper placement of the individual; for one cannot acquire knowledge or wisdom of a concept in a dimension in which he is not functioning at that particular time. It would be against the principle of the creation of man’s nature to attempt to learn concepts of wisdom which did not pertain to the God-self in their own proper evolution and in their own proper order. That is why so many people are completely confounded by trying to assimilate the more abstract concepts of frequency relationship and vibration. For example, to conceive that there are no solid structures about man on the earth plane, one may think by butting his head against a wall, that the wall is solid, but it is only solid by comparison with his head. Actually there are many atomic structures in other worlds and in other dimensions which are tremendously more solid than a wall or a man’s head; and yet that head could very easily pass through these structures without being momentarily obstructed in any way. The difference is that these other structures would be in a dimension which would not be at all compatible to any direct reversions of atomic structures, as they are contrived and conceived in the elements which constructed man’s physical body. In other words, I am saying that man’s physical body, and the world about him, is only comparatively solid. Mass is seen merely as the conglomerate form of energy held in some temporary state or form or substance in the element of time. In other dimensions where time assumes a different relationship with such energy or mass, substance will express itself in a different way and thus mass does not assume the characteristics of mass, as man has associated it on the earth plane. Instead, it assumes some other form which cannot be limited to man’s present concepts or assumptions that it will be mass or that it will be energy in any other particular dimension.

As I have said, and shall repeat, the concepts of truth as they are expressed and contained in the higher dimensions would so go beyond the limits of the threshold of earth man’s finite consciousness, that these would completely confound him and mean absolutely nothing to him. We could not, in our own understanding and in our own concepts, express what we see in the world about us and in the world above us. This we could not do, because man simply would not understand these philosophies or these ideas and forms of life as we see them. We can only interpret them to him in the language and in the concepts with which he is familiar.

We have continually stressed and emphasized the crystalline structures of these dimensions. This is as close as we can come to describing to man the pulsating radiant beauty of the masses of energy which have been accumulated or formed into the functional orders of buildings and in the relation of dimensions, conceived and contrived in higher minds even than ours, for our use and for our purpose. It is in just such various steps or plateaus of consciousness, which stem from the different evolutions or reincarnations in man’s personal progress, in which he finds himself in planes wherein reside atomic structures, if we can call them such, which will be compatible to his own concept or to his own position in his individual reincarnation. He will never at any time find himself in a dimension in which he will be unable to function or in a dimension which is entirely foreign to him. He will always at all times relate himself immediately, either within his own mind or in a factional and realistic way, with such orders of relationship as he has previously conceived in his mind in the last preceding evolution of his consciousness. His more futuristic aspects of life will be contained in the knowledge and wisdom contained in his Superconscious Mind and being. These in turn give him the incentive, somewhat of the intuitive or the constructive spiritual knowledge, which will make him long for the higher expressions, to return to the more pure and the more spiritual concepts of his own nature.

It is this same longing and stressing for this spiritual consciousness which gives man on the earth plane his most heroic and his most spiritual expressions in life. It makes him indifferent, to a large extent and in many ways, to the many laws and orders of life about him. These in turn express their own unity, and in their own way, their own creative fellowship with the Immortal and the All Conceiving Mind of God.

So do not attempt to confuse yourself by looking upward, may I say, into the high dimensions which are beyond your present reactionary plane of consciousness. The elements of understanding in these dimensions will have to come through the more intuitive and more highly developed centers of your own personality and from the Superconscious Mind, and concerned more in an intuitive form or fashion. They will have to be visualized as something in the ultimate of your own personal destiny, something which will have to be arrived at and more satisfactorily concluded in your own relationship and thus you will begin to understand them more thoroughly.
