The comprehension of force.

......The tension today is great, and the force pouring in on all the different centres is apt—unless

duly regulated—to cause a feeling of fatigue, of tension, of excitement and of restlessness. The

secret of regulation which lies in non-resistance is known to very few, and consequently the

intensity of emotion, the violent reactions, and present widespread era of crime are the results,

very largely, of force misused and misapplied. This can be seen demonstrating in all ranks of

life, and only he who knows the secret of being naught but a channel, and who abides still within the secret place, can pass through the present crisis without undue shattering and pain.

Stimulation—such as is at present abroad—leads to pain and consequent reaction and must be

guarded against with as much care as its opposite, loss of vitality—guarded against, not in the

sense of shutting oneself off from stimulating force but of receiving that force, passing it through

one's being, and only absorbing as much of it as one can carry. The residue will then pass out

from one as a healing agency on its return to the general reservoir. The true and occult

significant of force in nature, of the electrical currents of the universe, and of the latent heat

stored in all forms is little understood as yet by your exoteric scientists, or your would-be occult

students.......approached the study of occultism from this angle, and therefore, he attained a

profound knowledge of law.

somewhat its meaning, and understand how the law is but the adaptation of the form to some one

or other of these great streams of force, you will illuminate your whole life and be carried on

those streams of force, those magnetic currents, that vital fluid, those electrical rays (no matter

what the terms used) right to the heart of the unknown.

This same idea of force and of the magnetic currents of the solar system governs all I have

imparted on meditation in all its branches—specific, individual and collective, based on form or

formless; it is the medium through which the mantrams work, from those that touch the

elemental lives up to the great Words chanted in rhythm that call the Lord of a Ray, the Deva of a

Plane, or the Lord of a Solar System Himself. The sounding of these Words, the ascent through

graded forms to some specific point, and the chanting of mantrams but put the one who is thus

working into the line of some one stream of force. It is the finding of the line of least resistance

whereby to reach some goal, to communicate with some individual Intelligence, to control some

involutionary life, and to contact and co-operate with some group of devas. The above

digression may serve somewhat to sum up what I have lately imparted anent forms, mantric or

otherwise, as used by the student of occult meditation.

As may be imagined, the calling of either the devas or the elementals can only be safely

undertaken
