(Q) I was entering the subway station and had nothing to
read on my way down on the train, so I stopped at a news
stand to purchase the March edition of a magazine called
"The Cambridge." I turned to an article on "Environment"
and experienced (in vision) that explained or referred to in
the article. I felt a stream of steam like force, in
suspension, so to speak, and entering in a steady stream
into my mind. This, then, I reasoned, made me the kind and
the thing I was, or made me the variation or type of the One
Substance that I manifest daily in corporeal form. This
fitted me into certain other like manifestations - i.e.
dovetailed me to certain environment - i.e. fitted me to
certain parents, for example. Environment then is based on
the variation of the One Substance - each variation fitting
into other variations that supply the needs of the whole.
As this process proceeds, I may, by using my prerogative of
Will, change the variation of my composition - of my real
self, to better fit me for another environment. In other
words, my mind is the maker of my environment, for according
to the characteristics or viewpoint, understanding and
control it achieves, do I make myself fitted for one or
another variation of spiritual activity. The change or
variation is of my changing subconscious self that
manifests this change in the different environment sought in
the next incarnation into this corporeal form of the fixed
and ever the same spiritual activity. For example, if I
make my mind that which best fits the form of spirit action
that manifests in physical form of tropical countries, I
will acquire or dissolve into this variation of spiritual
activity and return to the plane of physical manifestation
in this form of phenomonized spirit action, called tropical.
This does not mean that because I live in a tropical country
I acquire this mental or spiritual development - rather if I
live in such an environment and overcome its seeming
barriers or obstacles I fit my mind for another environment
or another form of phenomenized spiritual activity that fits
my merited development of mind. The ideal then is that mind
that may manifest its natural perfection regardless of any
spiritual variation - thus is it One with Mind of the
Creator, from whom the Spiritual Creative Activity emanates
in perfect composition, whether in one variation
(environment) or another. Environment and inheritance fall
back on the same study of consciousness, or evolution as
some choose to call it. We are what we make of our
developing consciousness or mind, and those characteristics
the SOUL acquires fits it into corresponding variations of
the One Soul of the Universe. Environment and inheritance,
then, are but sections of a process - cross section
viewpoints of a process in which a portion of the Whole,
embracing every every faculty and power of the Whole,
develops from an unconscious Self in the Whole to a
CONSCIOUSNESS OF SELF AND OF ALL THE FACULTIES OF SELF, thus
making us, a portion, alive to the powers of the Whole,
capable of enjoying the creative expansion of these
faculties, one with the Whole, yet not be the Whole. We
become conscious of our creative powers being equal to the
One Mind, yet also finding that equality in our self
consciousness - not in any prerogative to oppose or act
differently from the all embracing One. I become conscious
of being that which my Creator is, of using my own faculties
to accomplish what my Creator is doing, yet am limited in
scope, to my Creator, which is unlimited in creative
activity so long as the bounds of the true perfect
nature of the Creator is never exceeded. Physically this
means I am unlimited in creative manifestations - of the
Universe in infinite form, of physical achievement in finite
form, so long as I manifest in harmony to the purpose and
nature of the Universe, or in finite so long as I manifest
the pure and good creative purpose and composition of my real
self. What would I? To create or express in terms of
creation, the power that dwells within? What is stopping
me? Because I may not express the power of the moon, stars
and elements? All in its season - such shall be mine, for
it has been so promised. Yet, what have I on hand? The
corporeal and physical form of the elements that compose the
Universe? Very well, I'll manifest myself - these elements
in corporeal form. I'll wager many a soul seeks the
corporeal medium of spiritual activity to do just that,
cognizing this opportunity missed in the spirit environment
that dissolution caused the consciousness to merge into.
Then I'll build and build and build and who shall destroy
the city of my mind or its manifestation in terms of
writing, invention (radio) or what not. Correct?
(A) Correct. This, as we see, is as an exposition (or
dissertation) on that as has been put by many in the
various forms of the attempts to give the real evolution,
hereditary and environment, and, as is seen by the
illustrations, and as is felt from within, these are but
one, and are as the various phases or forms of the
manifesting Spirit Force in the material world. Of same
there is often gathered those conditions as bring to pass
the various elements. Hence, as the entity sees and gains
by this, often has there been given the entity this
injunction: Keep all in one. Let not self become
exaggerated by one individual phase of the manifested
force as is expressing or manifesting itself in spirit form
through the mind BUILDING force of the entity, else there is,
as is seen here, with one phase of these various conditions
EXCLUDED, there comes that which will bring as an unrational,
[irrational?] or unbalanced condition to the whole structure
[Wife [
136] divorced him in the early 1930's, regarding [
900]
"as a man who went off balance and was no longer a
responsible person."]; yet, as is seen, in the infinite
forces as are manifested in the material world, each and
every element, each and every individual, each and every
CONDITION, dovetails, as it were, one within another, and
so long as these laws of the infinite forces are kept in
obeisance, the entity, the mind, the subconscious, the soul
building force, may attain to the various manifested forces
of each element, of each individual force, of ALL as a
whole, when it is ONE within the Whole, see?
(Q) Explain what is called "Memory" in terms of subconscious
or spiritual development. [See [
3744] series.]
(A) As has been given, as is seen, MEMORY becomes the
thought, and thought becomes memory - that is, as the various
experience of an ENTITY (this in the term of the spiritual,
of the physical, of the soul entity, see? not as a physical
entity meaning of body and mind and physical being, but of
the soul entity, the spiritual entity, which is comprised of
the subconscious, the spiritual entity, and the
superconscious mind), as is seen, see? as of THIS entity,
gains the various experiences; for only through experiences
does the BUILDING come in MIND, see? for, as is seen, by
comparison does the building take place - that is, as
memory is thought, THOUGHT is MEMORY, and BUILDING one upon
the other. This is spiritual thought, spiritual memory.
