The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | APRIL 1936

I was back in my body, clothed in physical consciousness—with this vision impressed upon my brain forever.

I had seen my three bodies with my soul vision and in a fully conscious state. I had seen myself in my Spiritual Body—my Higher Self—the Divine Self of me. THE HOLY SPIRIT had descended as a Baptism and had lifted me into the Christ Consciousness where many things were revealed to me. This I had learned, that in That Consciousness I possess the knowledge gained from all experiences of my many past earth lives; KNOWING THEREIN WHAT TO DO, WHEN TO DO and HOW TO DO THINGS.

Since that time I have tried always to follow the quiet loving Voice within me, which I know is His Voice—that of my Divine Self. For I know He is my I AM, my true Guide and Teacher, and I will never go wrong or make mistakes if I obey Him.

THE ABOVE, while partly an astral experience, is given to show how one of a psychic nature feels when “rising” from the physical to the Spiritual consciousness. Everyone naturally has to go through all intervening realms of consciousness, including the astral, to get to the higher realms of consciousness, and while one is psychic and not able instantly to rise into the I AM or true Christ Consciousness, such a one is likely to get such glimpses of things in the astral and mental realms as were seen in the above related experience.

Our friend was permitted to see and learn about all three of her bodies or garments of expression, the physical, astral and mental; for while the last named was symbolic of and pictured her Divine Self, yet she saw it in the mental realm while lifted for a moment into her Christ Consciousness, and it seemed to her—as she saw it—a body of Light and Glory, too brilliant for her mind fully to comprehend.

In the highest or Pure Consciousness there are no forms or bodies or different selves, as it were; there is only the consciousness of other souls and things, but as a perfect knowing of them in their reality. The human mind, however, in its present consciousness is not capable of fully comprehending this.
