Human States of Consciousness:
'A Study of Consciousness': Annie Besant

When we once recognize the forces subtler than the physical must necessitate for their expression a more refined vehicle than the brain organized for the reception of the physical, we shall cease to be troubled or distressed when we find that the superphysical forces often find their readiest expression through brains that are more or less out of gear with the physical plane. And we shall understand that the abnormal physical symptoms accompanying their manifestations in no way derogate from the value of these energies, nor from the importance of the part the will play in the future of humanity. At the same time, the wish must naturally arise to find out some method whereby these forces may be enabled to manifest themselves without risking the destruction of their physical instrument.
This way has been found in the East in the practice of Raja Yoga, whereby the safe exercise of the higher consciousness is sought by intense concentration. This concentration, in itself, develops the brain as an instrument for the subtle forces, working in the brain-cells in the manner already described in connection with thought. Moreover, it slowly opens up the spirillae of the atom next in order to those now in activity, and thus adds a new organ for the higher functioning. This process is necessarily a slow one, but it is the only safe way of development; and, if its slowness be resented, it may be suggested as a reason for patience that the student endeavouring to ante-date the atomic development of the next Round, and he can hardly expect to accomplish this with rapidity. It is, however, this slowness of the RajaYogic practices which renders them somewhat unacceptable to the hurrying West; and yet there is no other way to secure a balanced development. The choice lies between this and the morbid nervous disturbances which accompany the eruptions of the super-physical consciousness into an unprepared vehicle. We cannot transcend the laws of Nature; we can only try to understand, and then to utilize them. 

The Power Of the Will : Annie Besant

The Power of the Will :A STUDY OF CONSCIOUSNESS : Dr, Annie Besant

The Power of the Will
This power---which has ever been recognized in Occultism as the spiritual energy in man, one in kind with that which sends forth, supports, and calls in the worlds--- is now being groped after in the outer world, and is being almost unconsciously used by many as a means of bringing about results otherwise unattainable. The schools of Christian Science, Mental Science, Mind cure, etc., are all dependent for their results on the outflowing power of the Will. Diseases yield to that flow of energy, and not only nervous disorders as some imagine. Nervous disorders yield the most readily, because the nervous system has been shaped for the expression of spiritual powers on the physical plane. The results are the most rapid where the sympathetic system is first worked upon, for that is the more directly related to the aspect of Will, in the form of Desire, as the cerebro-spinal is more directly related to the aspects of Cognition and of pure Will. The dispersion of tumours, cancers, etc., and the destruction of their causes, the curing of lesions and bone fractures, imply for the most part considerable knowledge on the part of the healer. I say "for the most part" because it is possible that the Will may be guided from the higher plane even where physical plane knowledge is lacking, in the case of an operator at an advanced stage of evolution. The method of cure, where knowledge is present, would be as follows. The operator would form a mental picture of the affected organ in a state of perfect health, creating that part in mental stuff by the imagination; he would then build into it astral matter, thus densifying the image, and would then use the force of magnetism to densify it further by etheric matter, building the denser materials of gases, liquids, and solids into this mould, utilizing the materials available in the body and supplying from outside any deficiencies. In all this, the Will is the guiding energy, and such manipulation of matter is simply a question of knowledge, whether on this or on the higher planes. There is not the danger in cures wrought by this method that accompanies those wrought by an easier, and therefore commoner, system, by the working on the sympathetic system alluded to above

THE WORDS OF A MYSTIQUE

The Words Of A Mystique

I’ll dive in that ocean.
The ocean of love.
The ocean of freedom.
The ocean of soul liberation.
And at last I come to this place.
I come to this place,
For I can help you get rid of your past.
Oh yes. Oh yes, the promise is given.
The debt, it is paid.
The rocket is ridden.
The waters now flow.
Won’t you drink and be healed?
For as far as I am concerned
In my heart you are sealed
And ever more, there you can wield
That magic that is yours to command.
Beloved. Beloved.
What does it take?
Must all manifestation fall and break
Before you learn that this isn’t a fake?
But all for your growth and education I radiate then
Frequencies geared to your soul.
And you will know it.
You can take a poll.
As the weeks go to months
And the months go to years,
You’ll live without your hell bent fears
And instead come to know
That the violet flame
It clears those things
That now would seem to blind you.
ENOUGH! ENOUGH!
Though I can be so rough,
Perhaps careless, some even might say.
But you see it isn’t the words
Or the appearance itself
That I bring to you all this day
But instead something far better,
Far better indeed.
A Kiss from the Violet Ray.
And so to you all, Namaste
And so I do begin this glorious day
. . . AWAY!!!
