It forms\\na rationale or system of instruction for the unfoldment\\nof the spiritual power (the natural endowment of all\\nsouls), commonly designated Clairvoyance. The sys-\\ntem of Philosophy is the simple solution of the ques-\\ntion of human clairvoyance. These Teachings are neith-\\ner abnormal nor supernatural in origin. They ap-\\npeal to the reason and are the corollary of Nature s\\nLaws and Causation.\\nInspiration may be misunderstood, even denied, yet\\nit is the most natural force in the world. Were it\\notherwise, it could not be. All thought is inspiration\\nin character, source and end, and when truly analyzed\\nestablishes not only a priori knowledge but the eter-\\nnality of spirit. Thought really is spirit vibration, and\\nhas its source, not in the brain, nor in any of its ag-\\nencies, or subordinate instrumentalities, but in spirit.\\nTo understand this, it must be realized that even\\norganism has it origin in spirit. This we can\\nboth affirm and prove, for the soul is the basis,\\nas it is the law, of all its functions. Organism and\\norgans pre-suppose their spiritual prototype. Man as\\nan entity, immured in matter, is to be analyzed spirit-\\nually as well as materially; he is to be considered, not\\nas an inverted p3^ramid, but in his true relation to what\\nhe is, as well as what he manifests, that is, what is\\nexternalized.

Thus the brain is acted upon, never does it act\\nper se. Thus organism obeys, never does it govern,\\nspirit. The brain demonstrates the existence of spirit,\\nnot its evolution or involution. Its office is to mani-\\nfest spirit as a mirror reflects the image of a form. In\\nitself it is non-existent, non-creative, non-evolutionary.\\nThought shines through it as light through a lens.\\nThe brain neither creates nor produces thought it but\\nreflects it.\\nThought as the effect of spirit is two-fold in its mode\\nof manifestation. Always remember it is of and from spir-\\nit, whether it be on this plane or another, incarnate or\\nexcarnate, as the words are generally understood.\\nExperience is thought understood. It is more than\\ndemonstration. Tuition is experience; intuition is di-\\nvine inspiration. Tuition is inspiration realized. A\\nline of demarcation should be drawn between intuition\\nand inspiration as universally or philosophically inter-\\npreted and understood. Intuition is the source of\\ntruth from within this we designate Divine Inspiration.\\nInspiration is thought from a spirit or from spirits in\\nor out of the material form. When in the mortal form\\nsuch inspiration is called telepathy or thought trans-\\nference, and is often induced by suggestion and hypno-\\ntism. When not so induced, it is the direct or indirect\\ntransferrence of thought from plane to plane, through\\nmedial and harmonial conditions.\\nThat inspiration is possible to-day, as it was dem-\\nonstrable throughout the history of the past, evidence\\nof a various kind could be cited, all of which is unnec-\\nessary when the source of thought as interpreted by\\nthe true System of Divinity is fully understood.", "height": "4076", "width": "2600", "jp2-path": "clairvoyancesyst00gr_0012.jp2"}, "13": {"fulltext": "CLAIRVOYANCE.\\nTo Our Beloved Classes Throughout the World:\\nBeloved Ones: To you we extend greetings.

The Trance.\\nControl in The system oi Philosophy concerning\\nDivinity in spiritual science should not be confused\\nwith control or controls as popularized by Spirit-\\nualism. Control, as we use it, has to do with the will\\nand not with the organism; it is never forced and it\\nrefers to choice on the part of the spirit who wishes\\nto avail himself of its benefits. The word control has\\nbeen very much abused, as much to the detriment of\\nSpiritualism as a factor for enlightenment and civiliza-\\ntion as to the detriment of those who submitted to it.\\nAmong the media, it is the usurpation of the will by\\nanother, a dominancy of one mind over another for\\nmalevolent or benevolent purposes. It is, in short,\\nobsession and not possession. To be self or soul pos-\\nsessed is not to be obsessed. Many, therefore, are ob-\\nsessed who, could they understand the law of adeptship\\nand control, would not so readily accede to controls.\\nWe are not here arguing against or criticising a mode\\nor the method of excarnate spirit communication.
