00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,880
The transmission from one
individual to another, or from

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,200
an atmosphere created by a
number of individuals together

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,400
upon others entering the
environment, is both a matter

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:18,240
for vibration and a matter for
actual physical carriers of

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:22,440
those vibrations.
The body exudes these particles

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,360
as it vibrates to a particular
frequency.

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,760
They strike the subtle body of
others and can get incorporated

8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,520
and begin the process of
vibration in those others.

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,720
Unless we examine the mode of
transmission of the various

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,520
vibrations that impact us in the
world, we do not actually always

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,360
recognize the physical component
of the vibrational transmission.

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,320
Physicists debate whether, for
instance, light moves in space

13
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,040
through a vacuum, or whether
there is some form of matter.

14
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,160
The ancients called it ether,
which acts as the medium of

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,920
light transmission.
We know that, although generally

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,240
unseen, we have an atmosphere
around us consisting of material

17
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,880
elements which carry sounds
sights sense to us.

18
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,680
Vital and emotional vibrations
are carried within this material

19
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,000
world in a physical manner as
well.

20
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,640
We recognize a process of this
sort with respect to diseases

21
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,320
which we acknowledge are caused
by the entry and activation

22
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:38,720
within us of bacteria or viruses
or fungus or mold spores,

23
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,960
etcetera.
These particles, as the mother

24
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:46,920
calls the elements we are
describing, then set up the

25
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,760
vibrational pattern once they
have infiltrated the body and

26
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,240
gotten beyond its physical and
vital defense mechanisms.

27
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,400
We also recognize that sexual
vibrations are carried by

28
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,080
pheromones, and that the impact
of various fragrances or scents

29
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,680
is communicated through
particulate elements that

30
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,480
traverse the air and enter our
olfactory organ.

31
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,440
Just as pheromones carry sexual
excitation energy, so a similar

32
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,200
process occurs with other vital
forces, such as the force of

33
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,480
anger, the force of peace,
etcetera.

34
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,360
Genetic material is communicated
from one being to another

35
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,480
through the instrumentality of
physical particles as well.

36
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,040
This is encoded data that
instructs the appropriate

37
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,800
functionality in the body to
create and reproduce a

38
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,040
particular pattern in the form
of offspring.

39
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,760
Quantum physics now recognizes
also that energy, such as light

40
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,200
energy acts as either a wave or
a particle, depending on the

41
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,840
state of observation.
We know that the operation of

42
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,760
energy on unseen particles of
material substance activates or

43
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,720
excites those particles and gets
them vibrating in a certain

44
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,600
intensity.
For instance, applying heat

45
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,760
energy to water converts it to a
gaseous form of matter.

46
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,800
Energy is communicated through
air, which allows for the

47
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,920
atmosphere around us to warm up.
This is accomplished through

48
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:31,120
excitation of energy in the
material substance of first the

49
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:37,960
water, then the air.
The mother writes quote it is

50
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,920
the same thing for anger.
It is very clear, one receives

51
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,960
it suddenly, not even from a
person from the atmosphere.

52
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:52,280
It is there and then all of a
sudden it enters you and usually

53
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,680
it gets hold of you from below
and then rises up and pushes

54
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,120
you.
And so off you go.

55
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,480
A minute earlier you were not
angry, you were quite self

56
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,560
possessed.
You had no intention of losing

57
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,880
your temper and this seizes you
so strongly that you can't

58
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,800
resist because you are not
sufficiently conscious.

59
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,959
You let it enter you and it
makes use of you, you, what you

60
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:22,560
call yourself, that is to say,
your body.

61
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,520
For apparently I say apparently
it is something separate from

62
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,800
your neighbor's body.
But that is only an optical

63
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,360
illusion, because in fact all
the time there are what may be

64
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,520
called particles, even physical
particles, like a sort of

65
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,880
radiation which comes out of the
body and gets mixed with others.

66
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,840
And because of this, when one is
very sensitive, one can feel

67
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:53,280
things at a distance.
It is said, for instance, that

68
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:57,600
the blind develop such a
sensitivity, so delicate a sense

69
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,400
perception that when they are
nearing an object they feel an

70
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,360
impact at a distance.
But one can quite easily make

71
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,960
the experiment, for example,
drawing near to someone without

72
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,960
making any noise, then bringing
one's hand quite close.

73
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,800
Sensitive people feel it at
once.

74
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,880
You haven't put your will for
them to feel it.

75
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,960
You haven't brought in any
psychological element.

76
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,640
You have only made a purely
physical experiment of

77
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,760
approaching noiselessly and
without being heard.

78
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,680
A sensitive person will feel it
at once.

79
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,040
That means that the body seems
to end there, but it's simply

80
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,320
the way our eyes are made.
If we had a little more subtle

81
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:48,840
vision with a little wider
range, well we would see that

82
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:52,440
there is something which comes
out as something comes out from

83
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,680
other bodies and that all this
gets mixed up and interacts.

84
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,960
