The
Law of Spiritual
Energy Force
I find whatever God creates stands unchanged,
nothing can be added to it and nothing can be taken from it. Mankind stands in awe of what God has
created.
Most of you seem
to assume that only the world of matter is subject to laws. You are mistaken, because God is a God
of system and of law in all Creation, terrestrial or spiritual. In His doings He observes the laws which
He Himself made, and disregards none of them.
Therefore,
spirits too must observe the God-given laws of Nature whenever they wish to
communicate with the world of matter.
This is true of the good spirit world as well as of the evil.
You are in the
habit of calling everything a "miracle", unless you can bring it to conform with
Nature's laws, as you know them.
For those familiar with the forces acting in the world of matter and in
the spirit world, there is no such thing as a "miracle", because everything
happens according to the same immutable laws, not one of which supersedes nor
conflicts with another.
If you raise a
stone with your hand, the law of gravitation acting on the stone is not thereby
set aside, but is overcome by a greater force. If however, a stone were raised by a
hand invisible to you, you would consider that a miracle because you do not see
the force, and would think the stone was rising of its own volition. And yet a force that causes the stone to
be lifted must be present in either case.
Whether or not you can see the force does not affect the operation
itself. In either case the force of
gravitation acting on the stone is overcome by a superior force.
In consequence of
the laws enacted by His own omnipotence, God Himself cannot make a stone raise
itself by its own efforts. He might
have made the laws governing matter differently from what He did, but having
made them as they are, He must, even when only the lifting of a stone is
involved, permit the action of a force upon that stone greater than that of
gravitation.
The same thing is
true in all fields, nor is there anything "miraculous" in the fact that the
spirit world should communicate and speak with mankind. Whenever a good spirit speaks to you
through a medium it does so according to fixed laws which it is bound to observe
and which would have to be observed equally by any evil spirit which might
desire to speak through him.
Consider the
mechanism of telephones. How many
of Nature's laws must be complied with before you can use these for
speaking. You must have a
current. Wires and other parts
required to transmit speech and adapted to the laws of acoustics and electricity
must be installed, and these laws apply, whether the instrument is used by a
good citizen or by a criminal.
In order that you
may understand the things that you will witness in connection with spirit
communication, it is essential that
you learn the more important laws involved in the communication between the
spirit world and material Creation.
When you have grasped these, you will be able to understand most of what
you will encounter in this field, things for which you or even scientists have
not yet succeeded in finding an explanation.
I will now teach you the
truths concerning the Law of the Spiritual Energy Force.
Because of their different natures, spirit and substance cannot react upon each other
directly. Not even your own spirit
is capable by itself of imparting activity to a limb or organ of your body. You are not able to lift your body
erect, or to raise your hands, or to produce a sound from your organs of speech
by your own efforts. For the
purposes I have mentioned, your spirit, requires a power-current.
In a similar way,
an engineer requires a constant supply of power furnished by steam or
electricity if his engine is to operate.
If that supply is lacking or is inadequate, his engine will stand
still.
In your case it
is the spirit which is the engineer and its' engine is the body or the
substance. If the substance is to
be set in motion by the spirit, a supply of power is necessary.
The knowledgeable people of
old called this power-current the soul
as distinguished from mankind's
spirit and from the mind and body. Therefore, they taught, quite
correctly, that man is made up of spirit, mind, soul and body.
Knowledgeable
people of today speak of the power-current in humans as the "spiritual energy force".
This spiritual energy
or vital force exists in and about all things created by God. It is found in every human being, in every
animal, in every plant, in every stone, in every mineral, in all water, in every
star, in every spirit and in all other existing things. It is nothing material, but is spiritual
and is always associated with a spirit.
It is the vital force of the spirit, which is always its conveyor. Wherever there is life, there is this
force, and wherever there is this force, there also is a spirit. Since this spiritual energy exists in
and about all things created by God and is always associated with a spirit, it
follows that every created thing harbors a spirit.
That may seem
incredible to you, but it is true.
Any spirit
associated with a material body possesses, first of all, the spiritual energy
force required for its own existence as a spirit, and next, sufficient
additional spiritual energy force to induce life, growth and activity in the
terrestrial body. To make use of an
adequate analogy, a steam locomotive requires a certain amount of steam power to
enable it to travel alone and a certain amount in addition to the first to
enable it to draw the train that is coupled to it.
The train coupled
to your spirit is your body, for which your spirit requires additional spiritual
energy power to move it.
However, the
spiritual energy allotted to the body differs from that allotted to the spirit,
since anything intended to react upon substance must be assimilated and adapted
to it to some extent, consequently, the spiritual energy of the bodies of humans
on Earth is less spiritual, or ethereal, than that of the spirits inhabiting
them.
The physical
spiritual energy resembles your terrestrial power-currents, which are neither
purely material nor purely spiritual.
Their true nature is unknown to you although their effect comes within
range of your daily experience. For
your terrestrial power-currents you employ material conductors designed to carry
a current of the strength best suited to your needs. You have machines and factories of all
kinds whose operation requires current of a certain strength. If the current is too powerful, it will
destroy your machine. If it is too
feeble, your factory will stop running.
In a like manner
the spiritual energy current of all physical beings is carried by a conductor
through the body and all of its wonderful parts, which are called organs, in a
strength necessary for the purpose intended. If that current exerts too powerful an
effect on a given organ, it will derange the same. If it is too feeble, the functions of
the organ cease. In the case of
spiritual energy the conductor is the blood. If the conductor is destroyed by loss or
decomposition of blood, the spiritual energy current ceases, just as your
power-currents cease to flow when your conducting wires are damaged by outside
agencies or by disintegration. As
blood acts as conductor for the spiritual energy, physical life without blood is
impossible.
The physical
spiritual energy is not created by the spirit of the respective body, but is
derived from the food taken into that body.
In order that you
may understand what I will additionally say about spiritual energy, I must give
you an explanation of the nature of substance.
Have you ever thought of how the bodies of living organisms are
formed? Consider your own body and
its growth. Was it built up, by any
chance, by additions of finished substance, as a house is built by placing one
stone upon another? You know for
yourself that it was not. The body
is nothing but spiritual energy condensed into substance and this is true of all
bodies, not only those of human beings, but of those of animals, plants and
minerals. Their growth and their
taking material shape are subject to the same laws of spiritual energy
condensation.
The spiritual
energy of individual material organisms represents a mixture of spiritual
energies of the most varied strength and kinds, produced by wonderful laws
unknown to you. In mankind, this
mixture is different from that found in animals, in animals, different from that
found in plants, and in plants, different from that found in minerals. This difference is not only between the
primary groups of Nature, but between individual organisms within the same
group. Accordingly, the spiritual
energy composition of the various human races differs, that of the Black is not
the same as that of the White or of the Red, and again, the Brown and the Yellow
differ from each other as well as the rest. Also, not all members of a particular
race have the same spiritual energy composition. Every individual has his or her
spiritual energy composition, which is not the same in any two human beings, and
the same thing applies to beasts, plants and minerals.
Since the
physical structure of a living organism consists of the condensation of the
spiritual energy compound peculiar to that organism, each body has its own
individual properties. Flesh,
bones, nails, hair, and all other parts of the body have their distinctive
characteristics that are governed by the spiritual energy composition of the
individual in question.
To you it is one
of Nature's deep secrets how it is possible for spiritual energy, which exists
in an ethereal form and is invisible to you, to be condensed into tangible
matter. The fact that such things
are possible you know from your own experience, because you can see that your
body does not grow by the direct application to it of finished substances. You know that the acorn does not grow
into the oak by continued increments of wood attached to its surface, but that
its growth represents a process taking place within the organism, although to
you this process is inexplicable.
You know that the
food that you eat does not attach itself to the inner surfaces of your body and
promote growth in that way, but that something grows into all parts, great and
small, of your entire frame, consolidating into flesh, bone, nails, hair and
other tissue and by this consolidating becomes substance. That "something", which is unknown to
you, is spiritual energy.
Where does this
spiritual energy come from, which is so necessary for the formation and support
of all living beings?
You yourself know, if
you stop to think, what the needs of your physical existence are, you require
air, water and food. But not
everything present in air, water or food can be utilized by the body. Above all, not every ingredient of these
substances can be assimilated by the various parts of your body in the shape in
which it occurs in the air, the water or the food, that is to say, not in the
same material shape. Even air is
matter. Everything must first be
converted into an etherealized shape, and conducted in the form of spiritual
energy to the parts and particles of the body.
The conversion of
the material forms of nourishment into spiritual energy happens in your body
during the process of digestion.
The air that you breathe represents a material mixture of spiritual
energy from which your lungs extract only those portions of the air that your
body requires, exhaling those that it cannot use, in the process of
breathing.
Water also has a
spiritual energy composition of its own.
The spiritual energy of water is that which is needed most of all by the
bodies of humans, animals and plants, because these are chiefly the condensed
products of the spiritual energy taken from water. For that reason, water spiritual energy
predominates in the foods derived from the plant and animal kingdoms, so that
when this food is taken into the system, the necessary quantity of water
spiritual energy is generally present also. Owing to the fact that the spiritual
energy of water plays so important a role in all bodies, they cannot go without
it for any great length of time.
Professional fasters may be able to do without solid food for weeks on
end, but if they were deprived of water for more than a few days they would
quickly die. For the same reason
animals and plants perish when denied the spiritual energy of water for a
prolonged period.
Now you
understand why the tortures of thirst are the greatest that any living being can
experience, they represent death in its most painful form.
The spiritual
energy of the air does not enter into the structure of the body to the same
extent, but is used primarily to build up the various currents which effect the
disintegration of food and its conversion into spiritual energy, to mix the
various kinds of spiritual energy and to bring about their ultimate condensation
into matter. All disintegration is
caused by hot spiritual energy currents and all condensation by cold ones. For this reason you cannot live more
than a few moments if deprived of the aerial spiritual energy, because where
this is absent, all other spiritual energy activity ceases automatically.
There still
remains to be answered the question, where does the spiritual energy found in
air, water and food come from? It
comes from the Earth, which as a heavenly body possesses a supply of spiritual
energy mixture and has the power to radiate this mixture that contains every
kind of spiritual energy required for the support of all life on Earth. The terrestrial spiritual energy
consists of the spiritual energy peculiar to the Earth as a heavenly body and in
addition to this the Earth receives by radiation into its own spiritual energy
mixture that of all other heavenly bodies within range. Each of these heavenly bodies has a
specific spiritual energy peculiar to itself, of a nature and composition not
found in that of any other heavenly body.
According to the
position of these heavenly bodies with respect to the Earth, their spiritual
energy radiation will be of a smaller or a greater effect upon it, and since
this position to each other changes every second, the spiritual energy radiation
sent by these bodies to the Earth, will vary accordingly.
The mingling of
the spiritual energy of the Earth with that of the heavenly bodies around it is
of the greatest importance to life and growth upon Earth.
You must remember
that every kind of spiritual energy possesses powers peculiar to itself. To the extent then that an infant at the
moment of its birth is subjected to the influence of the spiritual energy of one
or more heavenly bodies, to that extent will the infant's own spiritual energy
composition be affected. At the
time of birth, before the first breath, this composition is still fairly
neutral, but at that instant of the first breath, it is given a fixed permanent
trend by the spiritual energy radiation and mixtures acting upon it.
If now a certain
kind of spiritual energy represents the main component of the whole, it will
determine the infant's growth and development for all time, and since the
different kinds of spiritual energy produce each a characteristic type of
vitality, the characteristic of the predominant spiritual energy component will
give to the infant a definite individual physique and an individual
behavior.
Therefore, it is
neither superstition nor idle fancy to assume that a person's physical, mental
and moral attributes can be foretold if the moment of his first breath at birth
is known. The influence of the
spiritual energy mixture of the heavenly bodies on your life upon Earth, upon
your vital energy, your character and your temperament, is much greater than you
realize. You yourselves have a
saying, "He was born under a lucky or an unlucky star", which means that you are
referring to the effect exerted by the spiritual energy radiation of a heavenly
body on living beings at the moment of their birth.
All this is so
closely related to the great questions of the fate of men and women that I could
not refrain entirely from speaking of it.
All bodies of
terrestrial beings are condensed spiritual energy, derived from the spiritual
energy radiation of the Earth and that of its surrounding heavenly bodies.
As you can clearly
see, the divine science of Astrology
is very important in understanding your destiny. I could write an interesting book on
this subject, and in the future I will, but in this book I will state a few
important facts that will enable you who are interested in Astrology to practice
it correctly.
The truth of
Astrology is based upon the fact that everything in our Universe, in our galaxy,
and in our solar system is connected through the spiritual energy force
emanating from each heavenly body.
Since each heavenly body has a different mixture of spiritual energy,
they all have individual characteristics, and produces an infinite number of
specific effects upon life on Earth, as well as all other surrounding, in range,
heavenly bodies. Through many
thousands of years wise men and women have observed the various celestial
configurations and recorded the effects that these produce in both the lives of
individuals, as well as destinies of nations. Many different branches of Astrology
have developed, including Natal, Medical, Event, and Mundane or World Affairs
Astrology.
Without a complete and
accurate astrological analysis it is impossible to understand yourself or your
destiny. Other benefits of Astrology include
discovering what your talents and weakness are, understanding and having success
in relationships, including marriage and raising children harmoniously and
spiritually correctly.
Although the
astrological forces do not control your free will, they do influence it
greatly. So as you can see each
lifetime on Earth is composed of a combination of past life "karma", your divine
destiny, which includes your Astrological destiny, and your free will
decisions.
One more thing I
find necessary to say is that the Astrology practiced in most countries in the
Western Hemisphere contains many errors.
The most important mistake is in the drawing up of the chart used by
these western astrologers. Because
of the separation of Astronomy from Astrology in Europe by the Catholic Church
in the 1500's, the astrological charts used by western astrologers are
astronomically incorrect. Without
going into a lot of detail, the correct way to draw up an Astrological chart is
exactly the same way an astronomer would draw up a map of the heavenly bodies
for that particular time in question.
Western astrologers do not do this.
The Astrology that is practiced in India is the closest to the correct
form; it is called Vedic or Sidereal Astrology, but here too you will find
mistakes, not in the way the charts are drawn up, but in the way they are
interpreted. I call the correct
form of Astrology, which I practice, Constellational Astrology.
Now back to my teaching concerning the
spiritual energy force. An example taken from Nature will
illustrate to you the process of disintegration and condensation.
