Receiving Information from the Physical

Questions

1. Check the person who is your subject. What are the physical areas that are highlighted to you?

When you scan a patient, certain areas of the body will draw your eyes like a metal rod points to a magnet. Also, a helper may speak the name of a certain organ that needs attention. Broken bones may appear as gray spots on the Etheric Body.

2. Surprise Box exercise. You will be given three closed boxes. Do not shake or weigh the boxes. You will get the impression of a shape, texture, color, or symbol that would be related to the contents of the box. Describe the feeling or impression that you experienced with each subject.

This is usually a real-time activity that we would do in class. You can do it with friends and have someone make up boxes for you.

A:

B:

C:

3. What is the purpose of the physical dimension?

We are learning to master the laws of energy in this dimension. Here everything is very slow and small-reacting. It is like being in a play pen where we learn to do certain skills without doing any damage to the house. When we have completed the education of universal law, then we can become a Light Channeler to help others.

4. Why do we feel attraction toward beauty, influence, and wealth?

This is an instinct that is designed into the programming of the physical body. These glamorous powers remind us of the higher realms and the vibrations that filter down to us from our speedier bodies. The more idealistic aspects of glamour give us an inkling of what it means to live the four-square life. As we become more conscious, we take part in creating beauty in the world at a deep and meaningful level. There is no more belief in lack when one comprehends the universal law of supply. When we rule these things instead of admire them, then we have the correct approach to metaphysical law. Masters (Fifth Degree Initiates)

5. Gazing exercise: Book Scrying (Spikomancy)

•Invoke the Spirit of Truth so that your expectations don't pollute the outcome.

•Hold a book, magazine, or newspaper, in your hands with your eyes closed.

•In your mind you should have a specific person or situation as a focal point.

•Ask your Guardian Angel to guide you to the correct passage of printed words.

•Eyes still closed, open the book or printed matter. Shuffle the pages around until you feel the correct page has been selected. Put your pointed finger on the page.

•Open your eyes and read the phrase that your finger is immediately on. Do not read any phrases before or behind it. This is your answer.

6. Why and how does this scrying technique work? What would be the most appropriate use of this technique?

Your Guardian Angel is the great networker. She can hook you up to any connection, helper, or teacher that you need for education. With her guidance, your Astral Body can perceive the spot in your printed material that has the phrase to alert your physical brain to the correct answer.

You must have a clear, sharp focus on the subject of your inquiry. You must also gather energy and a moment of stillness to focus on receiving the correct message. Do not let your eyes wander after you have read your phrase.

7. Draw or describe one of your helpers.

Same drill as before. Write or draw down your impressions as you open your mind to one of your hundreds of helpers. Your Guardian Angel is a good one!

The World of Matter

The symptoms of our spiritual conditions manifest outwardly into the Physical World. Although these manifestations affect our physical bodies at a high volume and at a complicated level of stimulation, the truth of what we are experiencing is not always obvious. Our physical limitations of time, space, endurance, and knowledge are but low hedges in a vast field of exquisite wonders.

The physical body has a complicated and carefully balanced set of needs that insure its health and desire to maintain survival. If the astral body is programmed to sabotage the balance of these needs, then illness and death occur. Such is the nature of the relationship between the two bodies that the physical body seems to be a projection or an extension of the astral. There is no physical analogy for this relationship, excepting for the members of a family being extensions of the whole. In keeping with this metaphor, the family members enact the genetic and social archetypes for the family identity. So does the physical body enact the identity and desire impulses of the astral.

The ancient symbol for the Physical World is the tortoise, or, the turtle, which represents the solidity and slowness of the material dimension. In a way, the Physical World is a thought form brought into being by the Astral World. In turn, each lower world is an extension of the dimension higher up in frequency. By changing focus from the obvious to the impulse behind the obvious, we transcend the physical realities (astral and mental illusions) of space, separation, and time.

Thousands of stars glow as electrons in each cell in our bodies. We are interconnected beings of Light, despite appearances of density and isolation. When we focus attention to the network of Light and life of which we participate, then nothing obstructs our access to success on all levels and values. The Light has consciousness, and we are intimately born into phase with Light.

Who among the “living” can consciously maintain a perpetual state of good will devoid of pain, anger, need, or will? The very nature of the body prevents this, yet it is our goal to at least be conscious of these reactions and to separate hormonal responses from the Soul’s choices. Understanding these things leads to understanding of one’s own destiny and potential. This leads to mastery over the energies of the universe, and beyond.
