00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,000
Physical forces take physical
forms.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,240
Vital forces take vital forms.
Even though they may act upon

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,040
the physical existence of the
being, they are not physical

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:16,840
forces.
Similarly, mental forces take

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,880
mental forms on the mental
plane.

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,800
Once again, they may act upon
vital forces and physical

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,440
forces, but they are based in
the mental plane.

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,360
The physical world operates
within what we call the

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:37,160
geosphere comprising the land
mass, the hydrosphere comprising

10
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:41,800
the water element on Earth, and
the atmosphere comprising the

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,880
air element.
The biosphere is a fusion of the

12
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,440
physical existence with the
vital existence.

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,480
It is the place where the two
planes meet and interact.

14
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,800
It creates physical forms that
are enlivened and moved by the

15
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,760
vital forces originating in the
vital planes.

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,120
In so doing, it transforms
matter into new forms that can

17
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:11,240
hold and express life.
The nuosphere is the place where

18
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,600
thought forms take shape and
interact with the biosphere.

19
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,400
The nuosphere spans the globe,
and thought forms created and

20
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,720
released into the nuosphere can
be received and expressed by

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,840
anyone who is receptive to that
particular vibratory pattern.

22
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,720
The thought forms active in the
neurosphere impact, shape, and

23
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,760
transform life and matter, as we
can easily see when we look at

24
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,120
the ways we now can manipulate
and change both physical matter

25
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,920
and life forms.
The vital plane exists

26
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,560
independently of the physical or
mental planes.

27
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,640
The point of interaction in this
world creates the biosphere.

28
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,800
The mental plane similarly
exists independent of the

29
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,800
physical or vital planes.
The point of interaction is

30
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,880
through the neosphere and works
upon the biosphere and

31
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,680
geosphere, the mother writes.
Quote You cannot think

32
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,720
powerfully of something without
your thought taking a form.

33
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,000
But if you were to believe that
this form was physical, that

34
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
would obviously be an error.
Yet it really does exist in the

35
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,920
mental world.
