TUNING OURSELVES TO THE INFINITE

The wish, the heart’s desire, the goal to be reached, must be held firmly in mind, vitalized by divine power, and propelled forward into the universe by the fiery intensity of all the emotional exaltation we are capable of. Prayer is therefore indispensable.

Repetition is often invaluable both in teaching and in learning new subjects, so some recapitulation of the various processes involved in the Middle Pillar practice will help to clarify some of the issues. And I would like to add a further consideration that helps to render the entire method more effective, and lifts it to a higher plane of understanding and achievement. This final step enables us to call into operation dynamic factors within us that aid in the production of any desired results.

The first step, as we have seen, is a physical, mental, and emotional exercise that allows us to relax, and to loosen the chronic grip of neuromuscular tensions. Every involuntary tension in any group of muscles or tissues in any area of the body must be brought within the scope of conscious awareness. Awareness is the magical key by which such tension may literally be melted away and dissolved.

Only a little practice is necessary for this, and skill is very quickly and easily obtained. As physical relaxation is achieved, the mind itself in all its different aspects and ramifications undergoes a similar relaxation.

Physical inflexibility as well as mental and emotional tension are the great barriers to realizing the omnipresence of the body of God. They actually prevent one from becoming aware of the ever-presence of the life-force, the dependence of the mind upon — and even its ultimate identity with — the Universal Mind, the collective unconscious. When the mind’s petty barriers are eliminated, and life flows through its extensive organization, we become conscious of the dynamic principle pervading and permeating all things. This step is without question the all-important phase in the application of these techniques.

Once aware of this, the logical procedure is to awaken the inner spiritual centers that can handle this high-voltage power, and transform it into a usable human quality. Possibly the easiest way to conceive of this is to liken the spiritual part of us to a radio receiver. A receiver must first of all be connected to a power source before it will work. Once power is flowing through it, then the rest of the intricate mechanism is able to come into operation.

So also with us: We can tune ourselves to the infinite more readily through the mechanism of lighting up our inner centers, our own built-in receiver. When the receiver is operative, the divine current can flow through it in various ways, until both body and mind become powerfully vitalized and strengthened with spiritual energy.

But all this is merely preparatory. The radio may have power flowing through it, and the equipment may be in perfect operating condition — but what do we want to do with it? So also with us.

Perhaps sickness is present. Or we need money.
