Far-Seeing

The following is an experience of the author, which may answer many questions in the minds of the inquiring reader. He wanted to go to a certain city in the Orient in the capacity of a chemist for a large, international, chemical organization with which he was at that time associated. This is the procedure that he used: he relaxed in an armchair in the back of an old church which still stands; closed his eyes and became still. The writer imagined himself in the Orient by an inner perception of a typical Oriental setting. He felt the tropical breeze on his face and actually felt his toes being cooled off by the salt water on the sands of the seashore. He dwelled on this realization for two or three minutes, and felt the joy of being where he wanted to be. At the end of five minutes contemplation, the words of the prophet Isaiah came to his mind: “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isa. 5:11).

The sequel to this prayer is very interesting. A short time afterwards, the opportunity came to the author to visit the Orient. All arrangements were made to proceed by plane. However, the morning preceding his departure for the Orient, in a dream, came the vivid realization of things to come in two or three years hence. A friend appeared in the dream and said, “Read these headlines—do not go!” The headlines related to war. The writer “dreams literally.”

The subjective mind of man always projects a person whom you will immediately obey, because you trust and love that person. To some people a warning may come in the form of a mother who appears in a dream. She tells them not to go here or there, and gives the reason for the warning. Your subjective is all-wise. It knows all things. It will speak to you only in a voice that your conscious mind will immediately accept as true. It would not be someone whom you distrusted or disliked. Oftentimes the voice of a mother or loved one may cause you to stop on the street, and you find if you had gone another foot, a falling object from a window might have struck you on the head. This is not the voice of your mother, or teacher or loved one. It is the voice of your subjective and it speaks in a tone or sound that you instantly obey.

As proof of this, I questioned my mystic friend. He assured me that he knew absolutely nothing about the warning “he” had given me subjectively. No, it is man’s subjective that is ever portraying the drama of its contents in the form of a dream or a vision of the night. If man suggests to himself that he will remember and understand the symbolism portrayed therein, he will know the outcome of many things.
