IV. Three Types of Energy Involved
Telepathic
interrelation between the members of a group grows through the medium of a constant
attitude of reflective thought and a steadfast love for each other. I would remind you
that when I use these terms I am referring to the two major types of energy in the world
today. Essentially, energy is active substance. These two types of force are of a
vitality, potency and substance so subtle and fine that they can work through and
"force into activity" the pranic fluids which constitute the substance of the
etheric body and to which I referred in a much earlier instruction (A Treatise on the
Seven Rays, II, 113). The telepathic work, therefore, is, concerned with three types
of energy which demonstrate as forces with the power to motivate:
1. The force of love with its negative quality which
- Attracts the
needed material with which to clothe the idea, the thought or concept to be transmitted;
it is also the attractive agency utilized by the recipient. Therefore both
transmitter and recipient work with the same agency, but the transmitter uses the love
energy of the larger whole whilst the recipient concentrates, upon the transmitter, the
love energy of his own nature. If this be so, you can see why I emphasize the necessity
for love and for non-criticism.
- Constitutes
the coherent quality which links together the transmitter and the recipient, and which
also produces the coherency of that which is transmitted. [26]
It will be
apparent to you consequently that it is only at this time that we can begin to look for a
wider and more general expression in the world today of the processes of telepathy, for
only today is the love principle really beginning to affect the world on a large scale.
Love of a cause, a party or an idea is becoming more and more prevalent, producing in the
initial stages the apparently wide cleavages with which we are so familiar and by which we
are so distressed at this time, yet producing finally a dominance of the attitudes of love
which will heal breaches, and produce synthesis among the peoples. Love (not sentiment)
is the clue to successful telepathic work. Therefore love one another with a fresh
enthusiasm and devotion; seek to express that love in every possible way - upon the
physical plane, upon the levels of emotion, and through right thought. Let the love of the
soul sweep through all like a regenerating force.
2. The force of mind. This is the illuminating energy which "lights the
way" of an idea or form to be transmitted and received. Forget not that light is
subtle substance. Upon a beam of light can the energy of the mind materialize. This is one
of the most important statements made in connection with the science of telepathy.
The success of this is dependent upon the alignment of the bodies of the transmitter
and the recipient. The double line of contact must be that of mental energy and brain
electrical energy. The magnetic power of love to attract attention, to produce alignment,
and to call forth rapport and understanding is not all that is necessary in the new
telepathy which will distinguish the new age. There must also be mental development and
mental control.
This form of telepathy is not a function of the animal soul, as in the case of the
solar plexus contact and response [27] to messages by the emotionally polarized man or
woman. This telepathic rapport and response is a characteristic of the human soul working
from mind to mind and from brain to brain. It is literally a state of consciousness which
is sufficiently conditioned by the integrated mental person so that he is aware of and
inclusive of the mental state and thought processes of another person.
3. The energy
of prana, or the etheric force of the vital body. This energy, by an act of the will
and under the pressure of the magnetic power of love, responds to or is receptive to the
dual energies mentioned above. The idea, thought-form. or mental impression which must be
recorded in the brain consciousness of the recipient opens a way in the pranic fluids and
so controls their activity (which is as ceaseless as the thought-form-making propensities
of the chitta) that the brain becomes responsive in two ways:
- It is rendered passive by the impact of the three types of energy, blended and fused
into one stream of force.
- It becomes actively responsive to the idea, impression, thought-form, symbol, words,
etc., which are being swept into the area of its conscious activity.
