The Two Effects of Thought

Each definite thought produces a double effect—a radiating vibration and a floating form. The thought itself appears first to clairvoyant sight as a vibration in the mental body, and this may be either simple or complex. If the thought itself is absolutely simple, there is only the one rate of vibration, and only one type of mental matter will be strongly affected. The mental body is composed of matter of several degrees of density, which we commonly arrange in classes according to the sub-planes. Of each of these we have many sub-divisions, and if we typify these by drawing horizontal lines to indicate the different degrees of density, there is another arrangement which we might symbolize by drawing perpendicular lines at right angles to the others, to denote types which differ in quality as well as in density. There are thus many varieties of this mental matter, and it is found that each one of these has its own especial and appropriate rate of vibration, to which it seems most accustomed, so that it very readily responds to it, and tends to return to it as soon as possible when it has been forced away from it by some strong rush of thought or feeling.

When a sudden wave of some emotion sweeps over a man, for example, his astral body is thrown into violent agitation, and its original colors are or the time almost obscured by the flush of carmine, of blue, or of scarlet which corresponds with the rate of vibration of that particular emotion. This change is only temporary; it passes off in a few seconds, and the astral body rapidly resumes its usual condition. Yet every such rush of feeling produces a permanent effect: it always adds a little of its hue to the normal coloring of the astral body, so that every time that the man yields himself to a certain emotion it becomes easier for him to yield himself to it again, because his astral body is getting into the habit of vibrating at that especial rate.
The majority of human thoughts, however, are by no means simple. Absolutely pure affection of course exists; but we very often find it tinged with pride or with selfishness, with jealousy or with animal passion. This means that at least two separate vibrations appear both in the mental and astral bodies—frequently more than two. The radiating vibration, therefore, will be a complex one, and the resultant thought-form will show several colors instead of only one.
HOW THE VIBRATION ACTS.
These radiating vibrations, like all others in nature, become less powerful in proportion to the distance from their source, though it is probable that the variation is in proportion to the cube of the distance instead of to the square, because of the additional dimension involved. Again, like all other vibrations, these tend to reproduce themselves whenever opportunity is offered to them; and so whenever they strike upon another mental body they tend to provoke in it their own rate of motion. That is—from the point of view of the man whose mental body is touched by these waves—they tend to produce in his mind thoughts of the same type as that which had previously arisen in the mind of the thinker who sent forth the waves. The distance to which such thought-waves penetrate, and the force and persistency with which they impinge upon the mental bodies of others, depend upon the strength and clearness of the original thought. In this way the thinker is in the same position as the speaker. The voice of the latter sets in motion waves of sound in the air which radiate from him in all directions, and convey his message to all those who are within hearing, and the distance to which his voice can penetrate depends upon its power and upon the clearness of his enunciation. In just the same way the forceful thought will carry very much further than the weak and undecided thought; but clearness and definiteness are of even greater importance than strength. Again, just as the speaker's voice may fall upon heedless ears where men are already engaged in business or in pleasure, so may a mighty wave of thought sweep past without affecting the mind of the man, if he be already deeply engrossed in some other line of thought.
It should be understood that this radiating vibration conveys the character of the thought, but not its subject. If a Hindu sits rapt in devotion to Kiha, the waves of feeling which pour forth from him stimulate devotional feeling in all those who come under their influence, though in the case of the Muhammadan that devotion is to Allah, while for the Zoroastrian it is to Ahuramazda, or for the Christian to Jesus. A man thinking keenly upon some high subject pours out from himself vibrations which tend to stir up thought at a similar level in others, but they in no way suggest to those others the special subject of his thought. They naturally act with special vigor upon those minds already habituated to vibrations of similar character; yet they have some effect on every mental body upon which they impinge, so that their tendency is to awaken the power of higher thought in those to whom it has not yet become a custom. It is thus evident that every person who thinks along high lines is doing missionary work, even though they may be entirely unconscious of it.
Only the real, say the mystics, can know Reality, for "we behold that which we are," the universe which we see is conditioned by the character of the mind that sees it: and this realness--since that which you seek is no mere glimpse of Eternal Life, but complete possession of it--must apply to every aspect of your being, the rich totality of character, all the "forces of the soul," not to some thin and isolated "spiritual sense" alone. This is why recollection and self-simplification--perception of, and adaptation to, the Spiritual World in which we dwell--are the essential preparations for the mystical life, and neither can exist in a wholesome and well-balanced form without the other. By them the mind, the will, the heart, which so long had dissipated their energies over a thousand scattered notions, wants, and loves, are gradually detached from their old exclusive preoccupation with the ephemeral interests of the self, or of the group to which the self belongs.
You, if you practice them, will find after a time--perhaps a long time--that the hard work which they involve has indeed brought about a profound and definite change in you. A new suppleness has taken the place of that rigidity which you have been accustomed to mistake for strength of character: an easier attitude towards the accidents of life. Your whole scale of values has undergone a silent transformation, since you have ceased to fight for your own hand and regard the nearest-at-hand world as the only one that counts. You have become, as the mystics would say, "free from inordinate attachments," the "heat of having" does not scorch you any more; and because of this you possess great inward liberty, a sense of spaciousness and peace.
In the preliminary act of gathering yourself together, and in those unremitting explorations through which you came to "a knowing and a feeling of yourself as you are," thought assuredly had its place. There the powers of analysis, criticism, and deduction found work that they could do. But now it is the love and will--the feeling, the intent, the passionate desire--of the self, which shall govern your activities and make possible your success. Few would care to brave the horrors of a courtship conducted upon strictly intellectual lines: and contemplation is an act of love, the wooing, not the critical study, of Divine Reality. It is an eager outpouring of ourselves towards a Somewhat Other for which we feel a passion of desire; a seeking, touching, and tasting, not a considering and analyzing, of the beautiful and true wherever found. It is, as it were, a responsive act of the organism to those Supernal Powers without, which touch and stir it. Deep humility as towards those Powers, a willing surrender to their control, is the first condition of success. The mystics speak much of these elusive contacts; felt more and more in the soul, as it becomes increasingly sensitive to the subtle movements of its spiritual environment.

The Aliens are coming?
Claims have been made that The beings have repeated their efforts in the US and have been active since 1948, the men said, and accused the respective governments of trying to keep the information secret.
Now a number of former Air Force officials are taking the cloak off of reported UFO sightings on U.S. military bases. One has to wonder if this is a move towards official global UFO disclosure. Perhaps even that that indeed aliens are on their way to openly meet Earthlings. The UN has appointed an official ambassador to aliens in the event that open contact occurs which makes one ponder about the timing of these news releases. Mazlan Othman, (The UN Office For Outer Space Affairs) has been picked for the position.

News from Madoc
This 2 foot by 4 foot painting, by Greywolf is as at this point in time unfinished. The work, called "Spirit Lake" has already received wide attention and a number of offers from potential purchasers.
Another bit of news that we will update you on later is the development of a local Aboriginal Awareness Day and Festival. Ogamma (Big Chief) Cliff Andrews is spearheading the project and in communication with a Native Cultural adviser. It is Cliff's hope to get the Festival up and running this summer and possibly make it a annual event. First Nations Drummers, Dancers and Vendors will be very welcome. Later on we will publish a contact address for interested parties.
Last, but far from Least is a tentative project that the Gary Martin and Greywolf will be working on. A gigantic totem pole will be carved for the area. It will be located either in the town or in a prominent location nearby on private property along the Transcontinental highway.....
I came across this old account and felt that it helped to explain some of the new healing modalities. With a unified effort an approach like this could change the world.

Bee die-off may prove to be devastating.
Bees are a major pollinator. Without their efforts reproduction of a number of plants types would suffer greatly. One in every three bites of all the food that we consume has been pollinated by bees. Over 60 percent of the American honeybee population has died or disappeared during the past 10 years
Beekeepers and scientists have acknowledge the decline of Honeybees in US

Only 10% of flowering plants are pollinated without animal assistance. The most common form of abiotic pollination is pollination by the wind. This form of pollination is predominant in grasses, deciduous and coniferous trees.
Mostly pollination requires organisms that carry or move the pollen grains from the anther to the receptive part of the carpel or pistil. There are approximately 200,000 varieties of animal pollinators in the wild, most of these are insects. Pollination from insects, often occurs on plants that have developed colored petals and a strong scent to attract, bees, wasps and sometimes ants. Butterflies, moths, birds and bats can be pollinators as well.
The problem is that with a huge bee die off we are deprived of a huge contributor to the reproduction of plant life........

Good Bye Julie Come Back Soon
Julie with Carol Murray in The Foundations kitchen.
Julie will be missed. The energetic young Lady came here from Australia several weeks ago to visit. My first words to her were, "I know a kangaroo by the name of Hopper in Australia." The snappy reply was, I know him to." Julie is quick witted, no doubt about that,and quick to lend a hand as well. The young gal worked to pay for her trip here and worked hard during her stay. Day after day she could be found in the Foundations kitchen helping to prepare meals for the youth and entertaining one and all. Thanks for coming to see us and thanks for bringing your sparkle to our community.
So Julie, have a safe journey home, stay in touch, and come back real soon.
Tis the Season to cough, sneeze, and sniffle with allergies.
Yep, that's right, there's Zella Bailey preaching at me again

:  Genetically Altered Food
|
| Posted by greywolf on 2010/5/5 15:30:00 (6198 reads) |
|
At Cosmic Acres Firewalker and Greywolf believe in the need for Naturally grown food staples and the preservation of Heritage seed. We think that organic agriculture in localized pockets be economically viable for individuals and produce employment. As well we hold that this produces better health and environmental conditions.
We feel that thousands of years of specific diets leave the human system in need of certain non-modified foods. Alterations to this dependence lead to un-wanted physical and mental effects upon the human organism. We also feel that different cultures may very well have different dietary needs and that this should be given more attention. This of course applies to the animal kingdom as much as it does to humankind.
The new genetically altered herbicide resistant and insect resistant crops have been ravaged by super weeds and secondary pests. They have proven to be more of a failure than a success. New research indicates that the GMO’s and pesticides sold by big concerns are detrimental to continuing good health.
A fundamental shift to back to organic farming practices may be the only hope. Let’s consider some of the things that have been happening.

The Guy who looks a bit like Santa Claus is Jim Murray, and he and his wife Carol really are modern day Mr. and Mrs. Claus. They are the folks at Foundations along with other dedicated volunteers who feed the kids in the above blurb.

Fudge and Brownies
Zella Bailey (The Village Craft and Gift Emporium)is looking both happy and nervous at the same time. She's happy because her and Greywolf just gobbled down about four pounds of brownies from Larry's Chocolates. The reason she is looking nervous is because she knows that the whole world is going to hear about how much she ate. Larry arrived with a load of his goodies and Madoc residents were grabbing them from the containers and eating the brownies on the sidewalk will shivering in the freezing temperatures. Within an hour Zella had to call him and and ask for another delivery. Needless to say, Greywolf and Zella were quick to set aside an armload of the fare for themselves this time. Larry will be back with more on a regular basis. Again, and again and again.
Thanks to Gary Martin for this pic of one of his Santa carvings.

Acupuncture
Physical pain is a common occurrence for many people, a national survey found that more than one-quarter of U.S. adults had recently experienced some sort of pain lasting more than a day. World-wide there is suffering from pain night and day. At Cosmic Acres both Firewalker and Greywolf believe that there are alternatives to modern medicine that should be addressed and thoroughly examined for their potential benefits.

In addition to conventional treatments people may try acupuncture as an option for pain relief. According to traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture points are situated on meridians along which qi (a "life energy") flows. Modern acupuncture texts present them as ideas that are useful in clinical practice and continue to inform the practice of acupuncture, but there is no evidence to support their existence and they have not been reconciled with contemporary knowledge about biology, physics or chemistry.
In China, the practice of acupuncture can perhaps be traced as far back as the Stone Age, with the Bian shi, or sharpened stones. In 1963 a bian stone was found in Duolon County, Mongolia, suggestting that the origin of acupuncture dates as far back as the Neolithic age. People have used acupuncture for a variety of pain. Back pain is the most commonly reported use, followed by joint pain, neck pain, and headache. Although Traditional Chinese Medicine based on the treatment of patterns of disharmony instead of a biomedical diagnoses there are practitioners familiar with both systems have who have commented on relationships between the two. A given pattern of disharmony may be reflected in a certain range of biomedical diagnoses: thus, the pattern called Deficiency of Spleen Qi could manifest as chronic fatigue, diarrhea or uterine prolapse.
