“Try to realize that because a thing is invisible does not mean that it is not made of visible, tangible substance, because if it happens to be invisible to your physical sight, it is not invisible to Us. When you realize how limited is the action of the senses through the physical body, you’ll understand what I mean. The actual Power of Sight from within the Higher Mental Body only functions through the physical eyes, when the vibratory action of the optic nerve is functioning within certain octaves of vibration. And that is a very small proportion of what We speak of as the vibratory action of the magnetic spectrum.
You hear within certain rates of vibration. You see within certain rates of vibration. You can feel farther than you can hear or see at the present time; but below your power of sight and above your power of sight are infinite rates of vibration in the energy of the Universe wherein there is consciousness; and you can be conscious of what is there, just as well as conscious of what is here.
Every night, My Dear Ones, your waking faculties go somewhere while the body sleeps. You know you are not all in that body on the bed, are you? O no; very little of you is there, just enough of the energy to keep the vital processes of the body in action. But most of your consciousness, your power of sight, your faculty of sight, your faculty of hearing, your faculty of feeling, your faculty of speech, your power of action, mark you, has withdrawn to a very large extent from the atomic structure of the body. And your faculties go somewhere else and do something else in bodies of substance in which you are alive, because you know that you have brought back the memory of thinking and feeling and speaking and acting in the substance and in the body of that which is not the physical body that you leave asleep.
So your physical senses, or what you call physical senses, are also elastic. They come and go. They come and go from this outer self to this other Inner Octave of Life. And there, you see the Way of Life, the way Life acts there. When you’re in the physical body, you see the way life acts here. Therefore, if you come into Our Octave and try to understand how Our Life controls conditions there, if you bring the memory of that back into your waking consciousness, and the feeling with it, you have but to keep your attention upon the memory of that and enable yourselves to feel it again and again, in order to draw those same Powers of Life into your outer use.
Now it is as simple as your ABC’s. You don’t think so this moment, but one day you will! And when you do, and you have proved that I have told you the Truth this hour, what will have happened to your thoughts and your feelings of the present that think you can’t do that now? What will have become of the thought and feeling in your life that you can’t do it, after you can do it? What happens to that which said, “I can’t”? You think it through. That was only a rate of vibration in your thoughts, in your mental body and in your feeling world and in your speech. It was only a thought and a picture. It was just a passing wave of vibration that passed through you, and you just accepted it and it controlled your outer action.
When you ask to be taught Our Way of Life, the way Our Life acts in Our Octave, then the rates of vibration from Our Octave – Our Thoughts, Our Feelings, Our Pictures – those rates of vibration come into you and blaze out through you. They enfold you, and then you feel them; and as soon as you feel Our Way of doing a thing, there comes the Illumination to the mind that you can do it. And then you try; and then you will succeed, because if you never try, you will never succeed.
If a music teacher can radiate her, or his or her knowledge of music and the feeling of that music and the instruction about it to a student, and the student makes the application until he or she can do the same thing; well then, the music teacher has taught the life in the student his musical way of life, hasn’t he? And the student can absorb that completely, and go forward and play the same thing just as well, and sometimes better.
And that is exactly the way it is with Us. We give you the thought. We radiate to you Our Feeling of the Power to do that. We radiate to you the Picture. If you take it up and think on it and feel it and hold the Picture, and then you try, who of you can tell Me what you can do in a few trials. That is the way of teaching, Precious Ones, from the tiniest child to the greatest Cosmic Beings in the Universe. Everything that is greater than you are now ready to teach you about itself and give you the feeling of itself, reveal the Perfection of itself, into your outer use.
And you have but to try and keep on trying, until you feel it deeply enough to qualify all the energy in your feeling world. And as soon as all the energy is saturated with the feeling of that which you want, the energy surges; and the first thing you know, the Power is released, and you find yourselves doing that thing. It’s a mechanical thing.
And therefore, in order to comply with the Cosmic Law’s Demand that you ever reach up and learn to do that which is greater than what you are doing now, the Law is such that those who are in charge of that greater Activity are to pour to you Their Thoughts, Their Feelings, Their Pictures, and Their Love, to illumine you and show you how Their Life acts to produce that. Then you use those same faculties, and your life learns to produce that.”
