Chart No. 3: The Three Modes of Motion of Mind and Matter
[See Book 1, Chart 3]
In Chart No. 5 the child is doubled up in the womb and the lines of force weave according to a definite pattern. The head is at the top of the circle EVEN THOUGH IT REVOLVES AND THUS CHANGES ITS LOCATION. THE PATTERN MOVES WITH IT, AS IT IS WITHIN THE SEED, and works outward.
One more thing I would like to make clear about external influences, Astrology and the Zodiac: All this relates to these same four elements and is a part of us; therefore, also outside of us. BUT IT IS THIS PORTION WITHIN US THAT WE RULE, which is most important to each and everyone of us.
Every almanac gives a picture of man related to the Zodiac, the stars and the four seasons. Can we read and understand that lost art which pertains to our being? It is very simple: Physical creation is made out of four elements; namely, Fire, Air, Water and Earth. Each element, like any stick, has two ends and a middle; a neutral or central pole, a positive pole and a negative pole, as illustrated in Chart No.3.
The secret to learn here is for man's consciousness to remain still in the CENTER OF BEING, in its eternal Essence. Then things will right themselves. The Holy Bible states this in simple terms: "Be still, and know that I am God:" (Psalm 46:10).
The whole body recuperates when life's Central Energy is permitted to flow naturally, without interference by our own mind's desires, etc. Faith, based upon this understanding, holds the mind in check and tunes it into the field of Power and Reality. All things are possible to such a belief of REALITY within us.
Paracelsus [1], the great alchemist, observed this also when he stated that man is ill because he is never still. He said there was great healing in the quiet depths of space, but man never tuned into it by being quiet himself!
