Colors- 5th July 1992

COLORS express and expel certain fragrances or 'tastes' (more correctly), and may well be thought of through these connections. We are all familiar with the taste and scent of a crisp, bright green. Of course of all of the colors this would be most understood by us, for the doorway into etheric realms is colored green (that yellowy bright green).

Colors do differ in degrees, and by such shades are very different in character and in tone of what it is that they represent. Two greens may resemble each other barely much at all, save that one might recognize them to hold the essence of green within both. However the light and one or two other ingredients, shall determine the nature of their qualities. (The one or two other ingredients may be: essence of blue, essence of yellow, for example.)

So it is the combining of essential rays which promote the overall hue which one color will recognizably predominate and rule - and that which is distinctly the 'loudest' is what is known to be that color. However there can be a turning point, a mingling whereupon one cannot decide if the green is in fact a blue, the blue a violet, the red an orange, etc... It is these particular mixes which are very exciting, because usually they are vibrant too, these 'twin' colors. (It is a little like the argument about the tomato being a vegetable or a fruit - red or crimson?)

Although one may split colors into basic divisions of three primary, seven spectrum etc., one cannot fail to recognize that the palette before the eyes does incorporate hundreds of thousands of combining hues; which by contrast are all very different indeed. They are unmistakably different (for those who are fortunate enough to have a healthy eyesight), and are doubly unique in relation to those other colors which surround and contrast them. 

In point of fact, it is far more difficult to match up colors exactly within a room or wherever, than it is to find them all vastly different and contrasting. When one does find a pair (or more) of matching colors (most easily in reproduced - printed material for example) one will discover that there is a sympathetic field between the two. Folk that have tried to sense colors while wearing blindfolds and using finger impressions (on or off) might have best established those colors which are as matched. So rather than knowing a green from a yellow, one could distinguish that, yes, these two are the same and these two are not. By this one can find that those which are the same - as in exactly the same - hold an extreme sympathetic resonance with one another. 

It is no mistake that uniforms share replicated colors. The football team will actually play better together upon all receiving new guernseys - because after a short while there shall be a degree of fading, and shades will be distinguishably different. Conversely, if one wants to remain apart from such a group where the uniform is compulsory, one may alter the hue just a fraction and much relief will be gained therefrom.

The colors (the natural colors) of our foods ingested, are of extreme importance. Obviously fresh foods are preferable, and one may recognize a healthy and desirable color immediately as opposed to that which is unsavory, unsightly, unattractive and unpleasing. One should definitely become aware of these differences of radiance of color-tone, and the qualities of that food will be known very much on this basis.

How cunning the industries who elaborately tamper with the coloring factors - and how interesting that a child will find a highly colored jelly (brilliant green, or purple) to be attractive, rather than a neutralized shade which appears more naturally edible. Now the adult would normally hold an aversion to a plate full of severely colored food, particularly if the food family was colored contrary to its natural colors- if the broccoli was blue, the meat a bright red, the pumpkin quite purple, the butter black, on orange bread, and so forth. The jelly becomes palatable because it is formless, and therefore (to the adult) it shall be tolerated to the level of passing through the mouth. The other food however could not be consumed unless one closed their eyes whilst devouring; and even in this instance it would be extremely difficult to do.

Now one might complain that the food had been altered by the colorants so used, and that this was the basis of objection. But here we are discussing first reactions to a fact, rather than other, although relevant, objections. Because no matter how satisfied we were that the food was harmlessly altered - with natural food dyes for example - we should still make the objection, because we are intimately bound to that which we eat, and may discover quite readily many qualities through this experience. By the way, isn't it interesting that our first food in the world is white (bluish white)?

Now we may examine two things in relation to color and food: Firstly, it may be argued that the colors of food are representative of certain qualities only, but do not of themselves offer qualities which are inherent in the color. We are inclined to answer to this, that in fact certain colors are great representatives of many things, but also do of themselves emanate qualities which are imparted to the man who ingests them; or furthermore in the case of there being colors within reasonable proximity to a man, these too will of themselves, hold certain effect upon his personal constitution.

Secondly it can be stated that there are also very real differences in the origins of the color as represented. A color which is inspired and mixed artificially (particularly mineral composition), will not hold for the same rules of qualities in the same way as those colors which of themselves have emanated from a 'lively' article- an organic color. Having said that, there are shared qualities with the very emanation of that color signal, which of itself does lend itself to that family of harmonics: that color range it imparts.

So it is largely a case of both yes and no - and in the case of foodstuffs they will most definitely hold an effect upon the constitution as regards assimilation. However the wrong color will awaken the body to information which is entirely wrong as regards the mix and nature which is inherent to the article. Yes, one's constitution can most definitely decipher colors, and one is not dependent upon eyesight to find colors to be valuable. 

The spectrum tells us of cosmic elements which are actually qualities of impulse, with an indefinite number of combinations. In our perception we find that in the twilight, the characteristics of colors take on an entirely different hue to ordinary sunlit varieties; and as the dark mantle drifts in, the colors become less and less distinguishable. Quite so in bright light also, it becomes harder to discriminate the variations of color there as well. So one is dependent upon the correctness of light received by the sight, in order to ascertain and distinguish their colors. Unless objects emit a luminance of their own (which if alive, in conditions usually unseen they do), then one is reliant upon outer light and its fractions, that they may begin to differentiate at all. It is a standing joke about the space traveler out in the darkness "Hey, will somebody put the lights on!"

When one begins to make study of the differing elements which comprises Creation's Nature, they can often begin to recognize the workings of that particular element throughout all phases of existence. If I am to begin to view the nature of colors and the elements of their emanations, I can begin to view the natural world and greater, with this in mind. One could almost believe that the world was built upon the symphony of colors which today it does hold! But no matter how complex, one must be reminded that it is but one element within many, and not the key picture in entirety.

Therefore if one is to consider the properties of a particular green, and endeavor to make use of this knowledge, it shall be as good as far as it goes; but that which is green requires too many other elements besides, bestowed in order to be manifest, in order to concurrently relate to that which it does emanate from. One must remember that there can be a family of general rules, whilst also such particulars which would take lifetimes of notation, as regards the natural world (and greater) in detailed aspects.

Having said that, let us run down the spectrum with our notations upon the matter:-

WHITE

White represents the light from which all colors are inspired. It is as water is to the earth. The greater ego of color, incorporating and making 'space' that elements may predominate in range.

BLACK

Colors which are undifferentiated in time. Unseen. Black is not a color of itself, but contains as many colors as there are, unillumined.

BLUE

Blue is the impulse of serenity. Serenity does actually exist. One must remember that all inner experiences known to man are outer realities so known. Blue is the impact of divine continuance, it holds the wisdom of that which has gone before, that which flows throughout the ages and spills into the present. Blue will not only invoke images of water - because water may be green, brown and so forth - but rather, of thought which is content and inspired, depending upon the violet, or the yellow content. Essential blue is serenity.

YELLOW

Yellow is verily the color of hope. Hope tells us of possibility, and brings forth those qualities of possibility. This is why it has been known to be the happiest of all colors - entirely fresh, vibrant, with the message of new life and of beginnings. Where it streams it is but Spring. It is essential to life.

RED

Red is the color of that motivating desire which drives the will. That there be cognition, that there be force, that there be activity, that there be movement at all - red is the color of Will activated.

PURPLE: (Red/Blue)

Purple is by definition the color of sanctity. For this reason it assumed regal propitiousness, but moreover is the harmonious balance between the two opposing impulses within Creation. As discussed before, Creation is unpredictable, and yet the laws of Nature so created are but steady. The paradox between the relationship of Blue and Red so united is that serenity is as far from the driving will as the doing word is from the verb! And in this union we come to holy sanctity, that the two may be manifest within the one: purple.

CRIMSON: (Red/blue)

Crimson, of course, tells us that the will is predominant as impulse, and that the active principle is concurrent with an underlying serenity, however, very much motivated.

GREEN: (Blue/Yellow)

Green is the color of new life, of manifestation. One can see that such a combination is as a great force of inspiration, for both hope and serenity make for peaceable relations, drawn down into the world to nourish the old.

ORANGE: (Red/Yellow)

How active a color! You can feel it jumping up and down, pulling at the hem of your garment! This is the color of youth. Dynamic, ceaseless, vibrant, the impulse of hope activated with great and motivating desire.

Thus outlined are the general fields of impulse as acquainted with the spectrum. The gradients of pale to dark indicate impulse spent, impulse weakened or impulse unseen. In the case of a dark hue, it may be that it is at a turning point of change, that there is a conclusion impending. Speaking of which, we shall conclude today, right here.

Meditation- 4th July 1992

IT is paramount to all concerned with parachutes and impending falls, planned or spontaneous, that they check their connections - all vital cords - afore leaping.

We may form a 'mental' parachute, one which may shelter ourselves and take rise upon the free-falling terrain, that our journey through this sky may be delayed in time enough to capture some of the scenery, rather than rush to meet with an otherwise unfriendly bed of earth below. One's parachute does fit snugly away; it is quite a contrast of area to mass, once opened. And we are not confined to white either. What would the design be? You might ponder this through until comfortable with a personal hue or appliqué. And remembering also of its radiance as so lit, between you and the Sun.

In a Hans Christian Andersen story, there was a little boy who would hold a magic umbrella to sleeping folk. . . and they would dream; dreaming dreams of pictures and visions, as were best coming to them: Ole Lukøje. And this child would visit bringing his small dome of imaginings to their bedside, and they would be sweet, untroubled and picturesque. 

As smoke which curls and spirals and wafts and wavers and drifts and dissipates until dissolved, one may look to the sections of their overhanging parachute and see whereupon, such visions unfold in this and that section; in color, in format, in imaginings played out. For this be our special parachute; the one which affords us the time to envision the skies intimately.

Here is an old favorite:-
There is a world we see,
and then a piece of ground: a mountain.
On the mountain there is a forest, in the forest we go to a tree.
Atop a tree a tangled nest.
In the nest an egg, upon does rest.
And in the egg a bird springs forth,
and opens mouth.
His voice rings out and out and out.
It flies from the egg, from the nest, from the tree.
It calls from the forest and the mountain, to the sea.
It goes twice around the planet, and comes back to me.

Within this presentation we find the action of the focusing pupil within the eye - which, by the bye, shall be physically strengthened by such inner contemplation; for we may actually direct our thoughts in ways of exercise which give to our systems a rhythm or a re-establishment of a kindred inclination. We are powerful in our imaginings, and hold sway over all related functions.

The parachute imagery may help one to begin, begin into the sky-dome meditative state, until it becomes easier to unfold one's parachute, or conversely, fold it back up and pack it away again.

What of meditation? Meditation is a conscious step out of time whereby the individual who looks inward has forgone the world and its limitations, and allowed time to be afforded for this rest, repose and concentration, out of time.

It is not that we are to be at all times 'carefree', nor that this is the main feature of any practiced meditation. However one can say that if an individual lends himself to such practice, he shall benefit from the 'slack' - from the conditions of such great rest which do accompany his meditative endeavors. And this is a result which is not to be bypassed as purely relaxation, but moreover a relaxation of inner tension (inner, inner tension), in alignment with all other tensions, the whole way through.

The first happy result comes from the fact that one has given time to it at all. For this is special time, the veritable 'quality time' permitted to self, by self. Furthermore it is not as an escape from the world, insomuch as a mutual bonding with those aspects of the world unnoticed by the 'fast fall, nose-dive'.

One need not become as the extreme yogi who almost disincarnates with shallow breath and sublime extraction, with merely a fine thread remaining earthbound so attached. This meditation which takes us to those moments after waking or before slumber, will produce a slowing of the pulse, and of the breathing quite naturally; but does not need in any way to be severe to effect enormous change.

Folk may be daunted by suppressed pictures, resurrected memories or challenging, nagging thoughts, all which present and impinge upon the quiet times. Even the quietest of conditions may be interrupted and made noisy. It is important that one remains in good humor throughout, without the stressful attempts to make an aggravated peace with such presentations. For in patience they too will quieten; and yet having said this, such reflection and examination, real examination, is very good of itself. That one may be awake enough to project into that which is before the mind's eye and meet with it and commit it to an orderly place once and for all.

Too often one may try impatiently and proclaim "Well let's get to the good bit" (meaning the deeper aspects of a meditation), and then feel most abashed when sleep calls and no immediate results, result. If we are to observe something about development it is this: any results which occur instantaneously in a large manner are good for a short time only, or are more trouble than they are worth.

If development ensues over time with steady preparation and results, in its own time, which is conducive to the rhythms and the constellations and one's personal aspects, then it is to be regarded as substantial progress. Therefore one shall not find immediate results in meditation, but a gradual strengthening and wellbeing shall follow slowly behind.

To give time to oneself for renewal and for discipline, for exercise and general improvement of all of the constitution, is an attitude of 'caring' for oneself. The vitalities respond far more deftly with precision, with tenacity, because of this consideration. The 'time out' is never forfeited, for it is actually extended and furthered (in terms of years) to each and every person. The fact that some may live very long indeed, may give you an idea of that which is invoked by this 'living out of time'- an actual extension of worldly time, physical worldly time, afforded by this practice (made perfect!).

It is because one's constitution has a limited capacity for assimilation. Life is ceaseless assimilation: worldly life requires that we incorporate worldly substance within our being's being. And to an extent this is a sufferance. Of course one does not mean to say in grim terms, that the privilege which is life is of suffering. However there are tensions within a man that do protest the cohabitation of certain demanding conditions, which may be viewed at times within the world particularly to conflict, or be in argument, rather than conducive to all aspects which comprise a man.

Now as regards assimilation, we are only 'good for' a limited capacity of worldly material before there calls the need for assimilation in higher requirements. And as we know, the body does tire within the world, and ages from this calling of the higher man. However in the case of meditation we are actually submitting to an assimilation which does please our higher being and nourishes it, relaxes the tensions which are from level three down (explanation later); and have lost nothing in the practice at all. For it is the assimilation of oxygen, the ability to do so and combust, that makes for incarnation, and this time-out will afford us ability to take in yet more time, as one does work with the other.

Conversely we may examine the deathly impact of a relaxation of the lower aspects and the tension thereof as regards alcoholic beverages and the like. Here the aspirant (good word, 'aspire'; also as in breathing) becomes as a perspirant (from the Latin persparare: to blow, from per- through + sparare to breathe); whereby the regulation of such assimilation of time is as with meditation, but not as is with meditation. For in the one case the aspirant may actually enhance his ability to incorporate the world within himself upon return from meditation, and in the other, the perspirant does not of himself so 'give over' to this timely consideration, but rather has forced himself from his shell and cannot assimilate time well at all. And the illusion of timelessness is because of inability - a no-man's land, which in the long run detracts from such abilities in later life to work the constitution thoroughly, adeptly and with precision.

One may be sufficiently 'relaxed' in death, but this does not mean to say that total relaxation is desirable. This is why meditation and meditation's accompanying contemplations are referred to as exercises; for in truth the individual who makes effort to manage himself in these realms of behavior, shall be qualified in subsequent tension also. That one becomes strong from the ability to venture in and out of these conditions at will.

One could be with such strength from these exercises that any conditions as set by the world, would inflict little pain, if any. And though we might weep for those who are imprisoned: be it jail or in withering limbs, one may readily see the benefit derived from the abilities to enter into meditative contemplation, and withdraw and re-enter accordingly.

If after twenty years of such practice one could say, "I now really feel the benefits!", then how wonderful it is - especially when one considers, that in twenty years hence the benefits may be well needed! Enough humor! 

Meditation on meditations is recommended to all men and women. The only but or hesitation we would add is that meditation as used for magical purposes is undesirable. For we find that if there is a 'forcing' within that relaxation of inner tensions, the unguarded may find that the resultant tendencies become obsessive and overruling. That, that which is adopted as practice may be indeed difficult to shake, and negate decisions of will in relation to the strength of experience. In other words, we may all try so hard and so well, that we develop into living fixations, that only one particular spot on the parachute be illumined.

If I am to contemplate the Holies, the Mysteries or the natural wonders, I am to throw myself out from myself and be cast into those qualities which I seek to know. But if I am determined by a desire to invoke a magic or a phenomenon within myself, then I am not at liberty to submit to the higher knowledge of these mysteries, as I am taken up with the effecting of properties as pertaining to myself. There are totally different results from this. The necessity of perspective is a large issue to the would-be aspirant.

All lofty thought makes for good material substance for meditative contemplation, for it is through the avenues of such inspiration that we may travel the paths to the essential wisdom of which they are offspring; and by their nature, invocations will vary. Furthermore, the aspirant himself is always the better judge as to the quality and the representation of any given meditative contemplations.

Commentaries are useful and enlightening, and for the beginner much treasured as candles illumining the visions. And potent visions will come as soul pictures. The aspirant will learn of the nature, the direction, and the action that such pictures take. It is not dissimilar to one's own dreams, whereby the best interpreter in the world is oneself.

Canons are very sure of themselves, but have no personal sense of direction.

The Pursuit of Knowledge- 1st July 1992

THE conjecture about 'Black Holes' is interesting because it exhumes a study of something, which by definition, is not there. Such studies are at best difficult, and suffice to say more properly, that there are most definitely gateways between this realm of our perception leading into that which may not be encompassed by our senses or by instruments, or otherwise directly accessible to Man. This would be a large concession if the scientific world could extend their theories to accommodate those prospects of there being worlds layer upon layer, related and unrelated to our own; albeit unseen and unexperienced.

The point of such conjecture may be brought into question. There is actually no war against a comfortable and smug materialism. For if something is beyond recognition and comprehension it is only reasonable to accept this, and put it down to the 'unknowable'. Therefore we may only begin our studies with that which we may know, or have opportunity for coming to know - expectations of otherwise need re-examining.

This does not in any way detract from a Spiritual Science, however, one's nous, one's knowing, might be better defined. Regardless of popular opinion, knowledge does not rest on consensus but on fact and the subjective experience of such facts as are there. Agreement as to facts is secondary and good for substantiation, but not reliable.

If I set about to know something and to test it for myself, I must satisfy myself that I shall know how to begin, and how to identify the result with which I am satisfied. Furthermore I shall do this, having a history - of which I am aware of - of many 'wrong' assumptions, whereby in confusion or misapprehension I have mistakenly gauged a situation and have been incorrect in my judgment. Nonetheless, with great optimism I endeavor time and time again to be the better judge, and make for opinion.

This is no cynical treatise on the gleaning of knowledge. Indeed, it is a wondrous endeavor in which curiosity inflames and men seek to discover the unknown. It is primal, it is essential - in some, deterred, quashed and broken - and yet such assimilation carries on regardless.

The ingestion of knowledge is reliant upon a being that is capable of expanding and infilling with the veritable 'stuff' which comprehension is made of. We are told that there is the capacity there for one to encompass all knowledge at the one time; and have provision for this, in breadth, in strength, in expansion - very stretchy! Although, we have never seen it done!

The pursuit of knowledge appears second only to the pursuit for love; and so often they are definitely one and the same. It is fine to see a student aspire towards the truth, as a truth, as was eons before; and also to remain candid about the differences between the unknowable, and the knowable unknowable!

The vistas of discovery do widen with each grand step - wonderment with anticipation, wonderment which comes with the privilege of knowing, the holding, in this the entrustment of those finest of treasures: the truth. This is because the TRUTH, is what IS: of our Father - that which is complete, most perfect, uncontaminated, without compromise, out of time, in actuality, the quiescence of isms, perpetual and everlasting.

From the Truth we find streams of fragmented expressions, of persuasions, of manifestations, because the creative impulses are deviant in respect to that which has never been, that which is new. For out from the unfolding of such Truth, there are possibilities. And possibilities are given Time, for a time, in which they may or may not become incorporated in Truth. They must be worthy. They must become in accord with the almighty presence and power of the Truth.

When the carpet of time is rolled up and away once more, some are taken with it, whilst some may remain in the bosom of our universe. Creation herself withstands and remains, for she and her Nature are inherent to the Truth. Some designs require a little working on! "Not enough Time" they cry - out comes the carpet again. Her helpers pick through to find the lost jewels - and recover them they might: Lost worlds and lost souls, as gnats, as fireflies. 

Sound in the Ether- 27th June 1992

TELEPORTATIONS, precipitations and rappings, used in the past to be a common occurrence. The ethers, audibly, tangibly, could carry those sounds as given out; whilst also as steady and as coherent as to allow transportation of far flung objects. Neither of the two phenomena occurs today; certainly nothing so significant. However these occurrences were usually blamed upon the nixies or the dead; depending upon it being a 'knock on wood' or a saucepan flung at the head!

The sub-physical properties of the ethers, and also concurrently, those within immediate range thereof, do vary from location to location, dependent upon: hemisphere, climate, proximity to sea, altitude and interference (from a number of influences). Much the same as the quality of the air may be measured, so too may the finer attributes of uncontaminated atmospheres, impressionable or fully impressioned, be actually, measurably significant. Just as visibility through crystal is superior to transparencies otherwise, so too the properties utilized within the ethers translate impressions back to men with defined resonance and clarity, marginally affected.

It is interesting is it not, that people often speak of 'clearing the air'. Of course this usually refers to honesty, but is as good a colloquialism to cite as any. In this instance 'clearing the air' shall refer to the attempt to actually improve those conditions of surrounding and immediate ethers, that they might be in accordance with those aspects most suitable to wholesome, healthy, enlightening discourse, meditation or prayer - that the atmosphere be relieved, be unencumbered. Of course this should be a tall order particularly if one were to approach this task as a fanatic; but we talk in terms of improving conditions rather than seeking complete purification. 

Of the favored practices today, we find that folk do often sprinkle the water, light the candle and incense, ring the bells, the gongs or whatever, chant, incant, cut the air in imaginative motion, sit in circles, etc. etc., and or pray.

Now the practice of the above list is fine and quite helpful, and certainly does make a difference (which we shall outline in a moment). However it is the last consideration which is of the greatest difference; and as one may often start with an opening prayer, it is advisable to include in this conferment, the wish and the need for a 'clearing of the ethers'. Because the very sobriety of prayer does indeed clear the room of unsavory influences to begin with - those which cannot tolerate prayer evacuate readily - one is halfway there to the whole job done. Furthermore, conditions surrounding one may be altered and attuned; but only if asked for, envisualized and concentrated upon. For not all have the good fortune to sit acrest a mountain top or bathe in the crystalline air of the sacred. One is impinged upon by influence upon influence; nothing which would particularly upset or hinder a man of itself, but does not make for a good response time, set in the spaces between a man and his thought. 

The singer will know this. That as the words issue melodically, there is a marked difference in perception on behalf of the singer, and for that matter any others who may be in proximity.

The spoken word is melodic in part, but with a predetermined meter and such inflections that are designed to be impressioned by the man speaking them, but also to be received cordially. One may usually sense the boundaries of such, although some have a problem with this. We may look at the differences and implications of each. There is a range of projection, not so much as from loudness to silence (although this of course does make similar exchange), but from melodic to monotone. The difference of delivery style and its subsequent understanding from those who receive is not only because of their perception in relation to melody or drone, but also how exactly the veritable ethers are subjected by such an issue.

Melody quickens, melody weaves in and out with each note enlivening and enlightening (like highlighting) those aspects of the ethers which are responsive to those particular notes - thus making for ready impression for those within proximity to experience it. A drone, on the other hand, stimulates only a small and concentrated portion with little impact, very little attractive impact, and the men concerned do not respond, because the droning has not stimulated those etheric notes which are to men inspiring. One may be able to gauge from this that the practice of clearing the ethers does also enable one to impress and receive a more accurate and clear response to that sympathetic resonance as described.

It is not that the music permeates all of the ethers, but that they are enlivened and stimulated, sympathetically throughout. Conversely, particular notes within particular ranges do belong to particular ethers, so that the family are held within the multiphased vitality-fluids which circulate within specific ranges.

The studies made of actual sound expressions phonetically would be enriched if one understood also the equations of tone/note/sound expression. Sounds have parent notes, but also of course are coupled with the complete range of notes. The example of 'g': guh, the 'g' sound does infer differing meanings, differing expressions, embodied by different notes. For the 'g' sound, as with all other sounds, is the delivery of a note, not a note of itself. It is precisely the form of the delivery which certainly makes up the nature of that given note. However, the note itself will determine the character of the sound.

Now in the case of your friend's therapies*, quite often the men and women concerned would feel their own way into the notes that they were to produce, because it is coming from themselves in order that subsequent remedies for themselves be made way for: Coffee just as you like it!

However, in the case of affecting others than yourself - with a particular point in mind - the relationship of such sound to notes is as important as paint-pigment is to water, is to painting; and too, from where the notes do issue forth. 

One can say that there is always an intrinsic difference between that which is imparted, issued by way of a living, live, emanating being, as opposed to that which is imparted through mechanical or lifeless delivery. Furthermore there shall also be a difference between the notes as given through a trumpet blown by a man and those which are pumped - measurably etherically different. (Although this will not apply to an electronic organ being played, or on remote relay.) The old test with plant growth would clearly establish such differing characteristics as performed in the instance of 'live' noise as distinct from just noise.

In the case of 'live noise' emanating as from a living being, radiating out, as it were, we find that all sound is characteristically imbued by he who does issue. So we find that there is yet another characteristic to our sound/note: it carries a persona of its own. Furthermore, there are only parts or traits, which do correspond with the note issued, and in likeness and in emphasis of the moment, there is but a fragment of the man (or being) delivered with the sound/note determination. 

Communication is basic to the imparting and receiving of these impressions so carried and illumined with the ethers. Whether vocally reproduced or mentally imparted or received, it is sequence and color rather than word, which mark out the notations of communication. It is pure expression, rather than abstract symbolism. Communication imparts that which is, firstly and lastly.

If one wonders how folk communicate otherwise, without sympathy to this, the answer of course is that maybe within their thinking they are indeed clumsy, confused and unsympathetic to their true forms of communication. Which we might add, they do indeed take part in and live by, known to them or not. It is not a matter of acquiring any new talents here at all, but rather signifying that which we do already in reality go by.

It is also true to say that a repressed man will "hold it all in", and there is much would-be expression there, so closely bound to the chest with much pressure besides. For we may measure our activity by way of that which we give out (surrender) of ourselves into the world. 

For some, all movements are forced or as clumsy, which they themselves would testify to, that there is an awkwardness which gives an impression of frozen limbs or a fragmented motion. A child who is silenced excessively may well suffer from this later on into adult life. He may not cry, he may not release, and he may not subsequently endure well. He cannot sing, he is quietly spoken - or drastically overbearing at those times when regulation ceases. He inwardly stutters and hesitates. Many a child was cuffed around the head for 'making too much noise'. This noise is what we give out firstly by way of experiencing 'the water' so to speak, it is the primary and first expression - be it enhanced with joy, with love, and so forth. 

The 'screaming therapies' as undignified as they are, can be profoundly useful to the individual who suffers these inhibitions; providing that one does not direct the screaming at anyone or anything- not even with anger, and not at themselves or the past- just purely creating a din, for a time set by them, in a suitable and convenient place. Controlled outbursts will encourage the individual to begin such release as was stifled in the past. 

Each star in the sky pulses with radiant sound- that sound which it emanates of its own, and that which communicates to it. Such symphonies as are the galaxies, are about our activity within our own microcosmic world, right here in our surrounding ethers; circulating too, through that which makes for the bodily constitution.

An honest word spoken - especially one with kind intent - is issued necessarily from the key of sincerity. Half-hearted ejections are spawned to a wind which flies back into the face of the pronouncer. The two are very, very different indeed. One can test honesty and lies upon a plant also. A man may be made quite ill by keeping in the company of lies. The reason for this being, that there are indeed mixed signals whereby he who meets with a lie can and does distinguish the reality of it, regardless of what the overriding consciousness submits to. To keep balance of the two counter-projections and make accommodation for such within oneself, makes for a strenuous and taxing existence.

Many actors fall prematurely ill or to despair for this reason. Of course in the case of an actor he does unwittingly pronounce lies - in the sense of his adopted persona - but even this is enough to cause a reality of conflicting soul impressions, as well as altering the etheric make-up sufficiently to cause much damage.

What of the speechless monk? In humility he says to the world "I shall be no more significant than a flea on the dog's back of community!" But because of such silence he is not stronger in those aspects which would have been to the good had he not weakened his potencies of production. For one must draw from the well that the well might replenish; this is the law as regards all inexhaustible gifts of the soul. In the case of silence we find that a man who withholds intentionally as prerogative, places such limits which become incorporated as habit to him and that there will come a day of no choice. However, if in open prayer or psalm or quiet mutterings, he does keep in practice, then the explicit words stream into the ethers with greater intensity.
