Blessed Night, Loves 😊

I Pray All Is Well With Everyone… And Your Hearts And Minds Are Full Of Love, Joy, And Compassion… For All Your Brothers… And Sisters… In Spirit. Remember… When We Make It A Practice To Think Love, Show Love, And Be Love… As Often As Possible – At Home And In Our Worldly Lives; Then That Loving Energy Begins To Naturally Radiate From Our Beings; No Matter Our Individual Circumstances… Or The Outer World Conditions. And When We Continue To Consciously And Sincerely… Extend Our Loving Energy From Within… To All The World Around Us, Then The Loving Power Of Our “Mighty I AM Presence” – The Living God Within Us – Is Ever Active… And Always Flowing Throughout The Atmosphere; Not Only Expanding The Hearts And Minds Of Mankind; But Increasing The Love And Light In The Earth… And Consuming The Aeons Of Hate And Darkness… That Still Seeks To Destroy Us! Amen…  

Give Thanks And Praises For Love And Life…   

And Y’all Be Love… 

“How many minds have we?” Much confusion has arisen due to the different terminologies by which mind is designated, and the numerous minds man is supposed to have. One hears expressions such as subconscious, unconscious, superconscious, conscious; animal and human mind; lower and higher; subjective and objective, that the layman gets bewildered, and fails to progress as he otherwise might.

Man has one mind, not numerous or several minds, but one mind capable of functioning in manifold ways. The simplest differentiation of mind activity we have found to be the conscious, subconscious, and superconscious. One frequently hears the subconscious spoken of as the unconscious mind. These terms are a contradiction and an impossibility. Mind is always conscious. Because we, the self or ego, are not conscious of its activities does not indicate that mind is not functioning or that it is “unconscious.”

We are aware only of that phase of mind manifestation to which the self is identified, but the entire mind is conscious all the time. The mind is fully awake during sleep, anesthesia, and when the brain is unconscious, due to injury or disease. The brain may not be receiving impressions, but nevertheless, they are registered in the subconscious mind.

No manifestation of mind is more alert and active than the subconscious. It never rests or sleeps. It is the storehouse of all experiences and race memories. It is this mind which takes care of the vast demands of the physical body, regeneration and healing. It can be trained to become a most efficient and helpful servant; but it is capable of being only a servant and should never be permitted to be master.

“Is memory in the brain or the mind?”  Memory is not in the brain cells or neurones, but in the mind. Memory is a faculty of mind using the brain for its instrument. Memory is that faculty which stores every impression made upon mind and retains it as subconscious knowledge of previous thoughts, sensations, perceptions or other mental experiences, capable of being returned to consciousness.

This process of returning memory records of former experiences is properly called recollection and may be voluntary or involuntary. Memory is the storing function. Memory is the library in which life’s volumes are stored. The librarian is recollection. Plato said: “The soul knows all things; learning is only recollection.”

The imperishable mind substance records every wish, desire, thought and act of life. Nothing is ever lost but is registered for eternity. The thoughts and acts are reproduced on the sensitized mind substance, similarly as music on a disc; of course, with this exception, phonograph records can easily become damaged or broken, while it is impossible in any way to deface or destroy what is engraved on the mind substance. Because something may be forgotten does not mean it is out of mind. A great many forgotten memories can be revived with hypnosis and frequently come to the surface during delirium and anesthesia.

Life’s imperishable record has various names; the orthodox referring to it as “The Book of Life”; others, “The Judgment Day”, the “Akashic Record”, or the “Astral Light.” It is this record which is man’s judge when he comes before that Higher Tribunal where absolute justice is meted out, and which determines his place in the heavens.

Not only man but everything which exists has its own imperishable record. Animals, plants and minerals are likewise surrounded by their auras. And it is a comparatively simple process for one whose spiritual faculties are well developed to read this record of life in both animate and inanimate forms. He can look into an individual’s life and read any page therein. The first hour of life is just as easily read as yesterday’s. To explain this process more fully, we will quote from a famous seer of the last century:

“The spectral forms of the long ago are indelibly fixed in the ‘astral light’, which is the spiritual atmosphere of the universe, where myriads of forms hang on the gallery walls in an imperishable world of spiritual entities. Nothing that ever has been, is lost to the vision of the seer; nothing that now is, can be hidden from his piercing gaze; nothing that shall be, is wholly veiled from his prophetic glances.”

A few years ago, a prominent motion picture producer said over the radio, that he saw the possibility, through the law of vibration, of getting in contact with any event of the past, no matter how remote. For example, instead of reading Lincoln’s Gettysburg speech, or The Sermon on the Mount, we could get in rapport with those particular vibrations and see and hear the great Emancipator and wise Master, just as they were then. Impossible, you say? Not at all. This was a prophetic vision of an inspired and advanced mind. However, one thing is certain—when this occurs, histories both Biblical and secular, will have to be rewritten.

“Do animals have mind?”  Most people at some time or another have speculated on the degree of intelligence possessed by animals, particularly the dog, horse, elephant, and ape. All animals manifest some degree of mind. Plants too, show wonderful ingenuity in devising plans for catching light and moisture, attracting fertilizing insects, preserving and scattering their seeds. “Appetency” is the term usually applied to mind in the vegetable economy. “Chemical affinity” is the operation of mind in the mineral kingdom, while “instinct” is referable to the intelligence displayed by animals.

Animals live in the same ocean of mind substance as does man, but they have not man’s complex nervous system, or his highly developed brain. Animals are equipped with the type of brain best suited for their specific requirements, no more nor less. All creations are provided with the organization most compatible with their needs.

However, there is a vast difference in the amount of intelligence possessed by the highest level of animal life and the lowest level of human life. Human beings have extra neurones which make culture and progress. Man has the power of modifying and altering his environment and circumstances, which in turn will act upon him in the future. He has the power of choice, of free will; he can anticipate the future. The animals cannot. No one can, for instance, imagine a dog or an ape sketching out for itself what it is going to do tomorrow.

It has been pointed out that birds’ and insects’ reflexes are so perfect and numerous that they can evolve much further in a progressive way. They do it all because they cannot help it, like a machine set in action. Birds build their nests in the same way, with the same materials as their ancestors, and make as good a job of it the first time as the last. All their actions are in regular sequence, one action being the predecessor and initiating cause of the following event. How differently this faculty operates in animals and man!

… The gift of immortality, bestowed on no other form of life, proves conclusively that man is a separate and distinct creation, and possessing a Divine force. It is impossible for man to have evolved from an animal not having this force. Man has the power, when he learns to use this force, to place himself in rapport with the Infinite Being. Men are not hybrids, but sons of God. There are no “missing links” in the Divine plan of creation.

Mind is the connecting link between dust and Deity. The rock on which many scientists have wrecked their ships is materialism. In their studies they have eliminated this Divine force or spirit, and its workings, saying: “A force is the result of atomic movements.” True, all forces are—except the force which first starts the atomic movements.

Man, like God, has the power to create. He is the architect of his character and the moulder of his destiny. Thoughts are the tools man uses to bring about whatever condition or change he desires. The lowest manifestation of mind is sensation—the highest, imagination. There are beings higher than man as man is higher than an insect. All are partakers of universal mind. There is only mind—Universal Mind. Our mind is the use we make of this mind.”
