and such passive thinking makes deepimpressions on the breath-form.Then sometime in deep sleep that which was dreamed in the waking state iscarried out automatically by the breath-form, according to the plan inscribed thereon by the somnambulist.SOMNAMBULIST, A: is a sleep walker, one who is imaginative and whose astral body and breath-form areimpressionable and subject to suggestion; one who thinks of what he would like to do but fears to do.Thethings that he has thought about in daydream in the waking state are later on enacted by his breath-formduring sleep.But, on waking, he is not conscious of what his body has been made to do asleep.SOUL: The indefinite something of religions and philosophies, sometimes said to be immortal and at othertimes said to be subject to death, whose origin and destiny have been variously accounted for, but which hasalways been said to be a part of or associated with the human body.It is the form or passive side of thebreath-form of every human body; its active side is the breath.SPACE: is substance, the ever unmanifested and unconscious no thing, that is the origin and source of everymanifested thing.It is without limits, parts, states or dimensions.It is through every unit of nature, in whichall dimensions exist and all nature moves and has its being.SPIRIT: is the active side of a nature unit which energizes and operates through the other or passive side ofitself, called matter.SPIRITISM: usually called spiritualism, has to do with the nature sprites or elementals of the fire, air, water,and earth, and sometimes with parts of the doer of the human who has departed from the earth life.These areusually seen or communicated with through a medium in trance.In trance, the radiant or astral body of themedium is the material or form used in which the departed one appears, and particles from the medium'sfleshly body and the particles of the onlookers' bodies may be drawn off to give the appearance body andweight.Notwithstanding the ignorance and deception connected with such materializations at seances, partsof the one who died may return and appear through the instrumentality of a medium.SUBSTANCE: is boundless space, without parts, homogeneous, the same throughout, the all containing "nothing," unconscious sameness, which is, nevertheless, present throughout nature.SUCCESS: is in the accomplishing of purpose.SUCCUBUS: is an invisible female form trying to obsess or to have sexual relation with a man during sleep.Like the incubus, succubi are of two kinds, and vary in form and intent.Incubi and succubi should not betolerated under any pretext.They may do much harm and cause undreamed-of suffering to a human.SYMBOL, A: is a visible object to represent an invisible subject which one is to think of, as itself or inrelation to another subject.TASTE: is a unit of the water element of nature progressed to the degree of acting as a minister of nature inthe human body.Taste is the channel in which the water element of nature and the circulatory system in thebody circulate in each other.Taste is the nature unit which commingles and relates the units of air and earth inits units of water to prepare them for circulation and digestion and in its own organs to function as taste.THINKER: The real thinker of the Triune Self is between its knower, and its doer in the human body.Itthinks with the mind of rightness and the mind of reason.There is no hesitancy or doubt in its thinking, nodisagreement between its rightness and reason.It makes no mistakes in its thinking; and what it thinks is atonce effective.The doer-in-the-body is spasmodic and unsteady in thinking; its feeling-and-desire-minds arenot always in agreement, and their thinking is controlled by the body-mind that thinks through the senses andof the objects of the senses.And, instead of with the clear Light, the thinking is done usually in a fog and withthe Light diffused in the fog.Yet, the civilization in the world is the result of the thinking and the thoughtsthat have made it.Were some of the doers in human bodies to become conscious that they are the immortalsthat they are, and to control instead of being controlled by, their body-minds, they could then turn the earthinto a garden in every way superior to the legendary paradise.THINKING: is the steady holding of the Conscious Light within on the subject of the thinking.It is aprocess of (1) the selection of a subject or the formulation of a question; (2) turning the Conscious Light on it,which is done by giving one's undivided attention to it; (3) by the steady holding and focussing the ConsciousLight on the subject or question; and (4) by bringing the Light to a focus on the subject as a point.When theConscious Light is focussed on the point, the point opens into fullness of the entire knowledge of the subjectselected or in answer to the question formulated.Thinking affects subjects according to their susceptibilityand by the rightness and the power of the thinking.THINKING, ACTIVE: is the intention to think on a subject, and is the effort to hold the Conscious Lightwithin on the subject, until that subject is known, or until the thinking is distracted or turned to anothersubject [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
