Amplitude of Force
The amplitude of vibrations is directly increased or diminished by
increasing or diminishing the size or number of creative aggregates.
The human EGO, subject to the forces of love or hate, kindness or
cruelty, forgiveness or revenge, is according to circumstances ruled or
dominated by these force in proportion to their intensity.
The intensity of a force is precisely proportionate to the number of
units vibrating at that particular pitch. For instance, let fear
assail one an, and according to its intensity will be the effect; but
let a crowd of en experience fear, see the result in the augmentation
of fear, though its source be relatively insignificant. A curtain in a
theatre, for example, takes fire; one or two persons, cowardly at
heart, become afraid through the dominance of the purely animal
instinct of bodily preservation; there is actually no real danger, but
these two or three persons are sufficient to arouse the unreasoning
dread which lies latent in every breast, with perhaps a very few
remarkable exceptions. The fire burns nobody; but blind fear, which is
extremely contagious among people mutually sympathetic, by reason of
the rapidity with which etheric waves transmit all feeling, occasions a
terrible panic, during which many severe accidents and many instances
of fierce cruelty occur, all because of this sympathetic transfer of
feeling starting from one or two augmented or intensified fear-centres,
each person being a centre emanating the feeling of fear. Were there
no counteracting centres of influence in an audience, radiating
contrary feelings, the result of a panic would be the total bodily
extinction of a very large percentage of the assembled multitude.
Thus the human race is immersed in forces whose intensity is vast in
proportion to the number of EGOS adding each its quota to the already
intense vibration, tending either to love or hate, kindness or cruelty,
timidity or bravery. Those who intensify the force of cruelty in the
place where they reside, may be strengthening a murderer's hand to
strike the deadly blow in a distant land. This result is brought about
through the agency of etheric waves, which transmit forces with
undiminished intensity even to uncalculated distances. This phenomenon
may be termed transympathetic.
They who feel that force called love, which on higher planes is
known as sympathy, thrill with waves of force which are already strong,
augmenting them or increasing their intensity. They who indulge such
sentiments and encourage such forces may stop the falling hand on evil
sped.
In order to protect ourselves effectually from becoming the
dispensers or propagators of deadly force, we must consciously and
deliberately relate ourselves by resolute determination, to awaken
within us such centres only as are concordantly sympathetic with all
force radiating in the interest of universal goodwill, thereby aiding
the establishment of universal brotherhood.

All ye who feel a longing for a better life or nobler existence draw
to yourselves streams of force which they alone feel who have attuned
their bodies to the higher harmonies. For a moment you feel as they
who dwell perpetually in communion with higher harmonies, living
immersed in that higher force; they are the true hierophants, and you,
O neophytes, struggling to attain the goal which they have reached, do
not despair though at present you find yourselves unable to maintain
this high altitude for long together. Though you fall many times, be
not discouraged, for as yet your organisms and all their centres of
resonation are not yet concordant to the focalized vibrations of the
higher harmonies; being still related to the mass, you are drawn again
and again into the whirlpool of the vibrations which affect the mass,
for these you cannot yet resist. But know that you can change all this
rapidly or slowly as your purpose is steadily intense or vacillating.
With the cessation of your lower desires comes the cessation of the
action upon you of the lower forces; the resonating centres which
formerly distributed this force, no longer active, become latent and
are absorbed back to an embryonic condition.
Every man contains, developed or embryonic, all conditions of the
Infinite; therefore no height is too great to reach. Impossibility is
a meaningless word to the an who apprehends the fathomless contents of
his own nature. Thou comest here, O man, with the instrument thou hast
graduated in thy many past existences; how few of thy chord-settings,
if thou are art numbered with the any, respond to the higher harmonies!
Universal unity or fraternity has been absorbed to almost embryonic
conditions by the prevalence of material self-regard. Charity has been
rendered almost latent, that beautiful chord-setting found even in the
lowest forms of creation-LOVE, the dominant chord of the cycles. Love
has an amplitude of action in the brute which may well make the selfish
man ashamed, but until the crust of selfishness is broken through, the
beauty of love is obscured, and though it exists all about him, the
poor blind egotist has no eye to discern it. The centres of love,
brotherhood, charity, voice their music loud and clear, yet the masses
will not listen. I do not mean the immortal EGO when I say man will
not listen; I refer to the personality which is the resultant of all
the ages of action in this, now rapidly closing, cycle.
You who exist do-day, to-morrow would exist no longer in your
present personalities did you but dare to yield to these higher
harmonies. I say YIELD because it is a yielding process for this
personality. In a moment your outer life would end, and you, the
warrior, would enter peace.
The immortal EGO is an entity of which man can become throroughly
conscious while here on earth, but to arrive at this consciousness
necessitates the entire abandonment of all the petty considerations
involved in the transient and subordinate EGO, which is the only self
of which the un-enlightened man is conscious. Let him who desires to
reach this inner consciousness enter his inner sanctuary, wherever that
sanctuary may be; it matters not whether it be his own chamber, the
open field, the mountain top, the seashore, the stately cathedral, or
the humble village chapel. Let him realize fully the transient
character of his own personality and contrast therewith his eager
longing to know the immortal. Let him concentrate his whole
consciousness upon his personality, fully arousing all his personal
conditions as a distinct
Page 2
individual; then with all the aspiration of which this personality is
capable, let him beseech of the immortal EGO-which is eternal and does
not incarnate, but overshadows all incarnations, waiting until one is
formed capable of illumination, to whom it may reveal itself-to
consider him worthy of illumination, and according to his preparedness
to receive illumination will it then be granted. He who asks this,
knows not what he asks; for were the prayer answered, life henceforth
for such an one would be a weary round, as Hamlet says: "to-morrow and
to-morrow and to-morrow brings in this weary round of life"; for,
having seen the glory of this immortal EGO, all else seems so base, so
commonplace and mean, so inglorious, that oftentimes the personality
has utterly collapsed when thrown back from the radiant vision of this
glorious immortal entity possessed by all alike, though scarcely
dreamed of by any save the very few who, discontented with the
ignorance and emptiness of terrene existence, aspire to know the great
reality of the supernal. As the incarnations of every entity, passing
through certain orders of experience through numerous lives, inevitably
culminate in this moment of conscious realization of the immortal
entity; the Buddha says: "All shall reach the sunlit snows."
You who through your daily life move on unthinking, not caring,
inactive, inactive, you shall hear when your supplications reach this
high entity, "Lo! thou didst not even try, knowing that even thy
failures were acceptable to me."
