205
the vibrations are very strong they go on and pass through all the layers of different grades of matter and substance until they reach the very substance which we call the sheath of understanding. It is only when they reach through the physical body, the sheath of vitality, of thought and understanding, that you form a rational idea and come to certain conclusions, and feel that you know certain things. Many vibrations do not reach all the states. They do not reach the finer substance in the centre, and no thought is generated, and you have no understanding, you have arrived at no decision. The result is certain forces or impressions are made op only intermediate states of the external forces and on the external body. As they have not reached the sheath of understanding you do not know what those forms and their meaning are. When a person is artificially put into a certain conditiou, and the physical activities are stopped and do not receive any impression at all, on the external body, a free opportunity is given for those vibrations to come into activity, and they will proceed further and go deeper and deeper, until they reach the thought plane. Then those thought forms will be expressed in an intelligent way. This is only so far as those vibrations have been created in previous conditions. While this is the case in many of the experiments, there is also another thing which actually happens. That we must also study.
