About Yada Di Shi’ite

This personality was born in the city of Kaoti (City of Temples) in a civilization called Yuga (Vast Body), or Yu. This civilization consisted of 180 million people and existed a half million years ago. It was located in the Himalayan Mountains. He was taken from his mother as a baby and raised in the temples, to become a Kata (Priest) and later High Priest or Yada. The word really means “Spirit Life”: He was therefore one of the heads of a mystical order called “Shi’ite.”

The “Yu” civilization had been founded by a man named Na Sep Ni Ha, meaning the seventh son of a family named “Ha.” E Yada was killed in a violent quake that completely destroyed the civilization along with eighty million of its inhabitants. E Yada was about thirty-four when he died and the “Yu” civilization one thousand and twenty-four when it died.

FROM ARCHETYPE TO PLURALITY

Yada di Shi’ite:

When Man first reached the final state of his physical growth, he was a beautiful and perfect being of high intelligence. Far greater was his state of wisdom and intellect than it is today, and exceedingly more perfect his body; he built for himself great and wonderful civilizations that were patterned after the mighty civilization from which he came – the Etheric.

Take note of the massiveness of almost all ancient civilizations – the endless and intricate carvings, the paintings and general designs on almost all things they possessed. You call these carvings, paintings, and designs “religious” and feel that most of them are designs or the manifestations of a superstitious trend of mind, but this is far from the truth. Most of these carvings and paintings and designs are symbolic talk and are therefore remembrances of the human race when the original language was entirely symbolic. No words were uttered – all conversations were carried on by mental communication, where a mental picture of a thing or things was projected. The symbol language is the ultimate in perfection, for there is no misunderstanding in what is being said, and therefore there is no necessity to make explanations about things.

Many of these earliest of civilizations understood and used electricity, had full knowledge of atomic power and the use of high-frequency sound waves, and knew the art of levitation as well as the law of mutation in matter. The hardening of copper, for instance, was first brought about by the knowledge of this lost art of mutation. Certain kinds of corrosive acids and shocks of high-powered electricity brought about almost instant changes in metals. In fact, they knew of all your modern scientific approaches to life and many that you do not know of as yet.

Drugs as you know them in your present era were known, but not applied to the physical body as curative agents, for they were considered a deadly poison that would eventually bring on a worse condition than the ailment suffered. If the ailment was considered a serious one, the patient was placed under a somnolistic hypnotic state and there told to adjust the condition of his body to its normal state. Sometimes this hypnotic treatment went on for days but most often a few hours of it was all that was necessary. The greater the malignancy of the disease, the deeper the trance, until the Self was reached and made to tell the why of it. When the Self explained the cause of its irritation, it was then assured that the “outer” misunderstanding would be corrected and it might go about repairing the rupture between itself and its physical machine.

The desire body works automatically and without reason or logic. It thinks only in yes or no terms, with no intermediate considerations, either being highly pleased by a stimulation or greatly depressed by it. In a well-controlled person, the desire body refers all “outer” stimulation to the E-Ka-Ya, the High Spirit or Self, and if the E-Ka-Ya, or Self reasons it to be in keeping with the environment it finds Itself in, and in harmony with nature, it becomes more aware of its physical self and thereby keeps better care of it. But if the desire body sends back a stimulation not “natural” to the Self, it rejects it; and if the desire body continues to send back a stimulation once rejected by the Self, in order to escape what it knows is not good, the Self will start withdrawing from its physical machine by closing off its sense of awareness of it. This slowly, or rapidly – as the case may be – leaves the body open for E-Na-Da, the force of death, to take over more and more, until it breaks down the physical body to such a degree that the Self can no longer operate through it, even in what you call the “subconscious” way, and so departs, and the body soon starts to decay.

Now, some schools of the “inner teachings” neglected to tell the people that death of the body does not mean that the Self escapes, leaving the desire body to die with the physical. The Self can never rid Itself of the desire body, but It must train it to react only to the kind of stimulation that will be good for the upward growth of Itself. And the best place for that training is while still in the physical body, for the physical body acts as an insulator against the shocks of stimulation that contact the Self. When this insulation is taken away before the person has learned to govern his desires, it will find Itself automatically acting out all that was impressed on the desire body upon reaching the astral plane. This is one of the very good reasons why the really honest teachers of the “Ancient Wisdom” warned their followers to live in a state of detachment in all their acts, so that the desire body would not become too impressed.

Some of the ancient Egyptians and Hindus knew well that the desire body was carried right along into the astral, but they also believed that the desire body would last only as long as the physical body did not fall into dust; and as many of the immensely wealthy and powerful heads of those ancient civilizations indulged greatly in satisfactions of the body and believed that they could go on enjoying such satisfactions also on the astral plane under certain conditions, their ingenious minds set about concocting a drug with which they could embalm the physical body and keep it intact for many thousands of years. That is why, also, all the tombs of the great kings and pharaohs were sealed and a curse put upon those who opened them.

While this was the attitude of the Egyptians and many other ancient races of people, the Hindus held the opposite belief. They learned to destroy the physical body as quickly as possible after the Self separated from it, fearing that if they did not, they would become earthbound and have to suffer just as they had in the physical body from the woes of the flesh. So the Hindus cremated their dead believing it would cause the end also of the desire body on the astral. Then they believed that the Monad, or Life-spark, having no attachments left in it, would automatically gravitate speedily to a Nirvanic paradise, or become One with the Absolute.

Fortunately, they taught the art of detachment. I say “fortunately” because neither destroying nor preserving the physical body makes much effect on the desire body. No, the only hope for man is to train the desire body while still in the physical world. If he does not, he will find it extremely more difficult to do so on any of the astral planes. And if you want quick and continued returns to the Earth body, just fail to train the desire body!

The earliest of man’s civilizations on Earth fell into the dust for the same reason as all the others that followed – and the same will happen to yours of the present. That reason is the forgetting of the Great Spirit and the becoming lost in the bewildering jungle of desire, of self-satisfaction. Believe me, friends, the nations of your world are even now tottering on the brink of disaster – the kind which swept Atlantis and Mu under the sea and drove a hundred million people down out of the great Himalayan civilization of Yu, after killing over eighty million in a great earthquake and the most terrifying snowstorm ever to hit that part of the world. Even today, in the section of those mountains where this beautiful civilization once existed, great blizzards almost constantly rage.

Why do both the Indians and the Chinese consider the Himalayan mountains as sacred? Only because they know it to be their home, even though to the majority of the people of both these nations, the real truths concerning Yu have long been lost in myth and antiquity.

Many vast and wonderful civilizations have come and gone since the days of Yu. Many of these met with sudden and extremely violent ends. In fact, the entire globe has been racked and churned from end to end, wiping man off the Earth on five separate occasions, and destroying most of the plant and animal life as well. But, while form may be changed, matter out of which form is made cannot be annihilated as long as there is the life force in existence. I believe, however, that it is an observable fact in your present scientific age that, while an entire species may appear to have been destroyed, it will return again in a new and a more superior body for waging war against whatever it was that caused destruction to its original body. This is what is termed “conforming to environment.”

A STORY OF CREATION [of a dimensional plane]

Yada di Shi’ite:

The space you now see and seem to feel to be outside yourself was once a black void that stretched out into all, an endless eternity. There was neither wind nor elements of any kind whatsoever. All was in utter quiescence, of a kind which no human can even faintly comprehend. And yet, within that incomprehensible void there was a vast world of life and ceaseless activity that far surpassed in beauty and grandeur anything Earth-people have ever known. Let me pause here and now to tell you that you people of Earth will know of this world again in the great distant future of time; you will all come home.

This world I speak of is Man’s True Consciousness. It needed no external light, for it was a light unto itself. The same goes for sound, and for all things you know of now in your physical world. If this were not so, where then do you think all that you now have and love could have come from? We do not ask this question – we state it. All was Consciousness, but naught was suffering with the illusion of an outward consciousness. To give you a comparison: think of your nightly dream world. This was and is the Etheric World; or, if you are of the Christian orthodox belief, you may say it was the God Mind we were existing in. Words, however, are quite useless to describe it.

When we use the term “dream” we do so for the sake of the beginner or neophyte. This gives him a clearer understanding than were we to use “conscious meditation,” which is much nearer the true state, and, while only partly grasped by the Initiate, its true nature is fully known and consciously realized by the Master or Adept. This is the state of consciousness which the other members of the “Inner Circle” have referred to as non-directional motion, or free motion in space; this is the state where mind loses its consciousness of being the observer of a thing and becomes the thing it was observing.

In my opinion, however, such a condition is an illusion. Nevertheless, it is the Divine illusion suffered only by the Gods. Mind cannot lose its own identity completely; otherwise it would fall into complete and absolute oblivion. It loses, in this case, its sense awareness of its position as observer only; otherwise it would not be able to bring back any conscious recollection of the experienced sensation of having become that which it had observed and merged with.

Speaking thus, for one to assume that the mind is not always actively conscious of being itself is, in my opinion, pure folly. Man on earth has come to that erroneous conclusion simply because of being locked up in the chemical world. He had, for the larger part, lost his ability to see and comprehend beyond his three dimensional state of awareness.

This is man’s paramount illusion. He has entered the physical body; he has taken unto himself form, and hence has fallen into the hypnotic belief that the form or body is he. The sin, or evil, of life on any plane is not in the act of the spirit in making form and substance and entering therein, but in the spirit’s willing desire to sink itself so deep into the form that it loses all consciousness of Itself.

Now, this was what the Over-Lords discovered the High Archangels of the Low Etheric were secretly working to do, and thereupon sent a messenger to the Low Etheric, forbidding the High Archangels to go further with their experiment in lowering the vibratory rate of their world, warning them that such an act would automatically throw everyone who entered into the Low Etheric into an entirely new dimension of thought which would eventually cause him untold misery. It would blind him for eons of time to his true nature. It would blot out all knowledge of his true identity. In other words, it would drive him out of what your Bible calls his “Garden of Eden,” and he would become completely lost in the jungles of a furious world of desire over which he would have no control.

“Eat not of this Tree of Knowledge,” warned the Over-Lords of the High Etheric World, “for on the day that you do, you shall die.”

The High Archangels argued that they knew well the chances they were taking but that they had agreed upon certain methods and devised ways of returning to their world if things did not go well. “Besides all that, we are Creators in our own right, and our right is to create things after our own way and fashion. . . .”

“But this thing you do will bring misery to the endless millions who not only now enter into your plane, but all those who have yet to come into the Lower Etheric. And that is not all, for though you may think you can discover or make a path back, we solemnly warn you that those who get back shall stay but a very short time, and even of that time they shall have no memory or knowledge, but will have to go on elsewhere – some for countless centuries – and when they return again to the Low Etheric, it will mean their almost immediate return to the new low vibration you are planning to create.”

As kindly as this warning was given, the Over-Lords of the High Etheric knew that it would fall on deaf ears and that the High Archangels would rebel against all power and authority, and that there was nothing to do but to give in to them. The Over-Lords knew also that the High Archangels had not yet discovered the method of changing inner motion to outer motion, but that they eventually would. There was no doubt in the minds of the Over-Lords – so, after considerable thought on the matter, they decided not only to offer no further resistance to the plans of the High Archangels, but to take on the task of creating the new vibratory world for them.

This decision on the part of the Over-Lords may seem to some to be both inconsistent and wantonly cruel in the light of their warning against such an act. The logic of their decision will be seen, however, when it is learned that they reasoned thusly: the greatest impulse of mind, whether Lord, angel or man, is the creative one. And for a block to be put before this impulse is not either to kill it or deter it in any manner. In fact, all blocks to this force only strengthen it. And, too, had the High Archangels not felt something lacking in themselves, they would never have been able to even think of such a thing as a lower vibration than the one they were in.

All desire must, sooner or later, be met with; once created in thought it must be projected and clothed with sensory material, so that the creator of the object may make use of that which he has created. The greater the desire, the more substantial the projection. Too, the lower the plane the creator abides in, the more difficult it becomes to project and clothe the thought desire in sensory substance, but when accomplished it becomes far more concrete not only to him, but to all others who come under the influence of his thought waves, until after a time it is set aside or what you call forgotten by its creator, and seems to take on characteristics of its own, lending the impression that it is something in and of itself.

There is a generally upheld law that one plane of consciousness shall not actively interfere into the desired doings of another plane of consciousness, whether it be higher or lower. Teaching and advice on any and all matters can be given; and here, too, enters in another law: that once a true creative desire is set into motion by one on a lower plane, someone on the plane above his must aid and abet him to the best of his ability to bring that which is desired into manifestation. This must be done, even though the one in the higher state of consciousness knows (through past experiences of his own) that the thing desired may cause its originator a great deal of suffering. Man can learn only by experience. He must have it to grow.

So it was that the Over-Lords were only abiding by a law they themselves had originated when they decided to aid the High Archangels in creating the new world they so desired.

Let us now name the forces or ingredients that were used to shape the mold or pattern in the black void of the Outer World by the Over-Lords of the High Etheric. First and foremost – need. Need for what? For more knowledge for man, a further awakening of consciousness. This cannot be brought about except by excitation of the Life Impulse.

Second, desire – desire of the most furious, intense nature. The things desired – heat, cold, sound, light.

The great secret the Over-Lords held – and knew the High Archangels had as yet no inkling of it – was the Great Void. The Over-Lords had known of the existence of this vast field of black nothingness for what you would term as endless eons of time. What its true nature was, or what it could be used for, they did not know. It had been discovered by the same method that advanced students of metaphysics and yoga philosophy use to discover the Inner World of man – meditation.

The High Archangels used a form of meditation, but it was more a deep-seated concentration than true meditation, and was used principally to carry them from one plane to another. They also knew of the forces called heat and cold, and how to use them on all the many inner planes, but they knew nothing of the type of meditation known to the Over-Lords, nor of how to project and direct these forces outside of the inner planes.

The making of the new plane of thought was of a grave and serious nature. How grave and serious only the Over-Lords knew. For one thing, they were not at all sure of the outcome, or whether or not they could hold under full control the substance and forces that would be used to construct the new world of Thought once they were unleashed.

So, a great band of Over-Lords, numbering in the tens of thousands, descended into the Low Etheric and held counsel with a vast throng of High Archangels, also numbering in the tens of thousands. The Over-Lords explained the situation in full to the High Archangels, and disclosed their secret knowledge of the Black Void. At the same time they refrained from telling them how, through the true art of meditation, they had discovered such a state or condition as the Black Void. Of course, the Archangels, like physical man today, wanted to know how something existed outside of themselves. Today the question is similar; you ask, “If there is an end to what I call space, what is outside of the space?”

Pause here for a moment and reflect on these two questions – those of the Angels, asked endless millions of years ago, and your own of the present – and then recall all that has been said in these pages up to this point. Is it not now quite clear to you that neither space, nor time, nor anything else, has any true existence in or of itself, but all are merely productions and constructions of mind stuff? The Black Void was no more a condition or thing in itself than was any other state of consciousness and the Over-Lords were well aware of this. They knew, too, that as black and empty as the Void was, it was not a useless condition or a mistake or “sport” of Life. Their great knowledge told them that a condition may remain without seeming worth for billions of years and then suddenly come into its own; and its own may transcend in beauty and value all else that seemed so brilliant before.

The condition called the Black Void was not to be explained, the Over-Lords said – it was to be experienced. “But the time is not yet for you; and if you insist on this new creation, as we know you do, the time shall come, and soon, when you shall enter into it and experience it. But when that time comes, it shall not be as it is now; for in your present state you would not comprehend it and it would therefore bring chaos and madness to your world. Have faith in us and we shall build your desired creation.”

With that, the meeting was ended, and the Over-Lords withdrew again to their high mental state to begin the creation of what you now know as the physical-chemical world.

After spending much time (not as you know time) in deep meditation, they then prepared themselves for a great event, half of which they held in secret, and the last half they called upon the whole vast population to lend their strength and energy to. Mantrams were said in perfect harmony and unison, uttered by millions upon millions of voices, starting in a low whisper and working up to a devastating crescendo, and fading back to a whisper. The great divine words to these mantrams we cannot give you, for the simple reason that we do not know them, but we have been told that a few of your greatest secret Orders are and have been in possession of them for thousands of years.

We may tell you also that certain of these mantrams are the “Golden Keys” that man finally acquires after he has completed his rounds of physical experiences both in the chemical world and on the many planes of the astral. These Keys alone will once more open the door to the High Etheric. It is also taught that certain individuals can, if they so wish, attain such a state of truth-awareness that it will negate much of their karma, thereby reducing the need the Ego may find in itself for returning to the chemical world. This knowledge must be gained while still in the physical world.

When the great Event had been brought to a close the vast angelic host of the High Etheric, who had not yet attained the Over-Lord state of consciousness, were dismissed and asked to go about their living in constant meditation for the success of the efforts of the coming project of the Over-Lords. Then the Over-Lords formed a giant circle, tens of thousands taking a seated posture, shoulder to shoulder. In the center of that vast wheel, one of the most advanced among them was chosen to sit. His position was the representation of the Eternal All.

When all was in readiness, the command came from the Center of the Wheel that they should start reciting the Great Holy Mantrams and none were to stop until they felt themselves slipping from their awareness sense of the High Etheric. At the first uttered word of the chant, they were to begin to meditate – not upon the Black Void, but upon the two force energies called heat and cold. They were to picture these two forces running alternately from themselves in tremendous torrents; the Mantrams would of themselves bring in the conscious awareness of the Black Void.

The law of the Great Event was that the Over-Lord representing the Eternal All was to utter no sound but was to go into profound meditation and enter the Black Void ahead of all the others in the Wheel, and on attaining it, he must, while holding on to his awareness of self, send back parts of his consciousness in what you call “the silver cord” form. His consciousness had to fashion tens of thousands of these cords so as to make a complete hook-up or unbroken net with each of the little sparks of consciousness that went to make up the Wheel in the Etheric, so that he would know by the impulse that ran along the cord when each and every one of these little centers of conscious awareness had joined him in the Black Void. When all had made the transition, the Holy Wheel would be formed completely on both planes – the Higher to draw energies from the lower. In this manner they could both project and guide intelligently the energies called heat and cold.

As we said before, this was an entirely new experiment and the Over-Lords watched with what may be termed bated breath while they struggled to keep the forces under strict control. Suddenly the two energies rushed with tremendous speed and force into one another. For the barest tick of time nothing happened. The next lightning, the brilliance being of appalling magnitude and intensity, lighting up the Black Void for billions of miles – the light being a beautiful opalescent green. Then the light streaked back to its center of origin and another tick of time passed in blackness while the Over-Lords watched with growing interest the violent churning of the heat and cold energies. Then the whole Black Void seemed to shudder and rock in convulsive waves of what you call noise as these two elements battled one another for supremacy of the Black Void, only to have the brilliant green light drive them farther and farther apart. At the same time, the terrific vibrating waves of sound created an ever-widening magnetic field that drove the heat and cold waves together at tremendous speeds; and the meeting and resultant exploding of these two energies, oxygen and hydrogen, which acted as a conductor for the flashes of light you call electricity.

By combining their forces they formed a vast cloud of mist. The first form of electricity was of the static or friction kind created by the tremendous vibratory motion of the heat and cold waves when they attempted to combine. The waves of flashes of electricity traveling on the sound waves and being attracted to the oxygen-hydrogen atoms would engulf and absorb them by penetrating their outer electronic shell and exploding the nucleus.

(Actually, one atom of matter never strikes another atom, but on approaching one another, the heavier of the two disrupts violently the magnetic field between the electrons and the nucleus, and the nucleus of the lighter body explodes long before the nucleus of the heavier body can touch it. Too, the new energy-wave formed by the instant regrouping of the exploded atom may fuse with the atom that caused it to explode, or one may attract to itself one or more of the electrons from the orbit of the other; but in either case, a new matter or energy wave is produced.)

Out of the vast field of chaotic energy, sound vibration had reached such a pitch of motion that had the planetary system existed then as they are now, it could have shattered them all back into novas. However, under the then existing conditions, it became an atom-smasher of devastating strength and proportion, releasing many new energies – the most important of which was what you now call radiant energy. With crushing blows of intermittent sound waves, monstrous vacuum tubes, or pockets, formed between the blows, sucking into their black depths vast energy clouds. Then high speed sound-waves rolled in after them crushing the electronic shells and exploding the kernel or nucleus.

(In smashing the atom, the electrons are jarred loose from their orbits, and they go shooting off into space; but their freedom is short-lived – in fact, almost negligible, due to the many attracting forces around them. The stripping of the shell from the atom leaves it open for the force of sound to play against it till it raises the vibratory speed far beyond that natural to it. This abnormal speed creates frictional heat of the most intense kind causing the nucleus to disintegrate in a blaze of its own life forces – radiant energy.)

When the sound waves rolled back out of the mouths of these giant vacuum tubes, radiation particles used the waves of motion as a vehicle, thus escaping the tubes. The tubes being formed in a spiral, or bore shape – or, better yet, like the spiral formation of a cyclone cloud, sound waves rushed out in spiral waves, creating a spiral-like vortex in the chaotic darkness. These wheeling fields of motion created by sound waves, while strong enough to attract to themselves radiant energy particles, could not, in the beginning, attract and hold other particles. Instead, these passed through the spiral lines as if they did not exist; but as the stresses were filled in they became vast fields of flaming energy, their weight began to tell on other bodies around them, and all lighter bodies within their tremendous field of attraction were swallowed up in pulsating gulps, and with crushing blows, the essence of their energy was crushed out of them and their shells spewed out into space.

All substance, being born from the Great Cosmic Mind, or “Wheel,” has the likes or dislikes natural to that Mind. This is true also of the seeming individual minds of man. My purpose in pointing out this particular idea is to give you a clearer understanding in respect to the action called natural selectivity, and affinity, that takes place in your chemical world. This is the Thing of the thing, or what our mutual friend and helper, Meade Layne, calls the “ding and sich.” It is a mode of consciousness of its Creator. While this law cannot be changed in its entirety, it is – like all else – subject to change by modification. Were it not for the cushion called modification, all things would be subject to sudden and drastic changes and your earth-life would be a far different thing than it is. So, you see, if you feel you have nothing eise to thank the God for, you may thank Him every day of your life for the Law of Modification.

Because it would take many large volumes to explain in detail the over-all activity that went on in the construction of the Universe and because in these writings we hope to deal with more than subject, we will have to forego whatever pleasures there may be in pursuit of endless technicalities.

We will go on with the work by making the simple statement that all planets, or what you now know as heavenly bodies, of whatever kind, were formed or came into being by the law of selectivity and repulsion that one chemical has for another, and much of the activity of the entire Cosmos had to do with the size and weight of one body over another and its directional motion and vibratory rate and its distance in relation to other bodies.

A great many of the suns are millions of years older (as you record time) than the Earth and Moon and like bodies, but none of the planets were born out of the suns by some cataclysmic eruption of birth, caused by giant planets roaring into one of the suns that were many times larger than the Earth’s sun – the planets taking their substance from matter rejected by the suns through the force of repulsion – the substance being caught up in vortexes created by an entirely different tone or sound vibration.

As these planetary bodies grew they became cauldrons of intense heat, the tremendous heat acting as a sterilizing agent to keep the growing bodies from being over-run by the billions upon billions of etheric germ lives that swarmed in interstellar space. As these planets started to cool, sulfuric gas clouds many thousands of miles deep formed around them, blocking off the intense heat rays of the sun, which were far more penetrating, due to the complete lack of the auric envelope that you now call “ether” around them. This auric envelope could not form until the Earth and other planetary bodies had become more compact and solidified. When a body is set into free motion in what you call space, it will create a pressure force around it equal to its own aggregated mass, and when two or more such bodies are set into such motion, they will affect one another according to their mass weight and field of proximity. However, in regard to heavenly bodies, there are other forces of endless variety to consider: their chemical content, their size and speed of rotation, their fields of repulsion and attraction. But there are endless books on astronomy of good authority. We will merely touch on the subject from time to time as these writings go on.

But one more thing before we close this particular chapter; your comets run into the hundreds of thousands and are the generators and sowers of cosmic pollen, breaking down and creating and scattering new and virile energy throughout the vast void. Despite their tremendous size, most of them are of relatively light structure. Were they of heavy and solidified matter like the earth or other planets, their great speed would create such friction to be brought to bear upon them as to burn them up or explode them before they had traveled a thousand miles from their point of origin.

The work of these “cosmic bees” is vast in scope for they not only take planetary debris and convert it back into usable energy, but they rush so close to the suns as to sometimes pass right through the corona and steal great quantities of heat energy to supply other bodies whose position is too remote from any of the suns to get direct heating.

While comets steal vast amounts of energy from the suns, the suns are constantly being supplied with new more or less solidified matter. Vast clouds of this matter, numbering into the millions of miles, come pouring out from a void that is far greater in mileage than the distance from your earth to your most distant star. This matter is converted into radiant energy by the suns. The dark spots or fields seen in your sun are the giant tubes through which the electrons of the smashed atom are driven out by the force of the exploding nuclei. They are then driven on out into space by the continual pressure of light force. It is in these vast fields of matter that comets are formed, the building of them taking place by whirling lines of magnetism.

The larger and denser becomes the mass, the greater the pressure of light and sound waves brought to bear on it, and if there are no other bodies within sufficient radius to offer it an equal resistant force, it will break free of its birthplace and roar off to find its orbit among bodies that are strong enough to create a more or less constant field of attraction for it.

Regardless of what your present mathematics attempts to show, no force is a constant. For instance, certain existing conditions may take a sudden change and cause a field of attraction to become a field of repulsion. While light is probably the most dependable, as far as its speed goes, its action can be modified by refraction or complete blockage, and while such changes do not affect the light or its speed, it might just as well, for it either nullifies or causes such radical changes in the bodies it is playing on that it becomes no longer a constant. In other words, a thing in itself is never a constant but finds its constancy in its work. This too is true of man. As long as man acts, he lives; and in any minute he fails to act, he is dead. In other words, the force of his action that he may have been expending on any one given thing has been cut off. However, neither man or “things” can achieve the state of complete inactivity on any plane of consciousness, no matter how advanced the state. The so-called cycle of quiescence is no less a cycle of activity. The teachings that man or worlds enter into a state of rest, or no motion, or nothingness, and then back into what you term a somethingness, while harmless to those who desire to listen to it, is not entirely a true doctrine.

The untrained are staggered over the immensity of space, not knowing that the immensity of space is the immensity of the Universal Mind, and immensity of the Universal Mind is the immensity of The Self.

Your scientists wish to know if their belief that your universe is expanding is true; we can assure you it is, for the simple reason that man’s consciousness is expanding.

We do not like to repeat ourselves, but we often find it necessary to say the same things though in different ways. A little earlier it was stated that you have only two really dependable sources of knowledge in your physical world – namely, science and philosophy. If either of these lights fails or becomes obscure your civilization will crumble in the dust as all other great civilizations have done before you. As exact and delicate as your scientific instruments may be, we wish you to know that the minds that designed and made them are far superior in every way to those instruments. Therefore, we may safely assert that the most accurate instrument man may devise will not do more than register certain aspects of any given phenomena that may be taking place at the particular moment in your physical chemical world; but as to the acceptability of the truths of the seemingly existing phenomena, the mind alone can and must decide that. All that physical instruments can ever do is to register motion, never the truth of the motion.

Excerpt from The Magic Bag
