Day-dreams, the habitual meditations that go on of themselves in the
mind, are prophecies and potencies. They are the creative factors of
future states. "Out of the heart are the issues of life."
It is a question of degree,--so much love, so much force to act upon
outer affairs. He who finds his currents of thought verging to the
unkind, the ungenerous, the inimical; whose mind, in its unconscious
action, is in a discordant state, fretting at circumstances, or
persons,--is doing himself the gravest injury. He is creating, on the
unseen side, which is the most potent and determining side, conditions
which he must live out sooner or later.
It would seem, if one may judge from the data of telepathic experiences,
that the power belongs to the sub-conscious self, or, as we may prefer
to call it, to the spiritual self, and does not relate itself to the
conscious intellectual life and the conscious will. If this deduction is
true--what then? Can we not relate our consciously intelligent life to
our unconscious spiritual life? Not only, indeed, that we may, but that
we must,--for it is the next step in spiritual advancement.
The time has come in the era of progress when humanity begins to realize
its spiritual development. All the signs of the times point it out. The
discoveries of higher laws constantly being made, are an impressive
attestation that register the movement. With the new century came in
Tesla's discovery of the vacuum tube and its wonderful light; and hardly
a week later came the announcement of the discovery of a perpetual light
found by a certain chemical combination placed in a glass globe, which,
when the air was exhausted and the globe sealed, would burn as long as
the globe lasts. The discoverer claims that there is but one force in
all nature,--that of vibration; that all space is pervaded by matter,
which is energy. Certainly the world is on the eve of new revelations,
and life is to be lifted up, even here and now, to the Divine plane.
Perhaps the most practical counsel in the way of determining one's own
future control of these telepathic conditions is conveyed in the words:
"Begin now the eternal life of trustful consecration and sanctified
service, consciously drawing your innermost life from God."
