"The visualization technique is among the most important of the gifts which have been given to The Race of Man. It allows Him, literally, to create His own environment in terms of emotional, mental, and physical factors, and conversely it allows Him to make Himself ill to the point of death. Indeed, many souls now on The Earth have, literally, brought themselves to their deathbeds through the power of their thought."
"The power of the mind knows no limit. This is a notion to which many give lip service, but few realize the storehouse of power that is really at their disposal. If they understood the dimensions of this mighty energy, they would soon cease to utilize it to damage themselves and others, and The World would quickly become a better place."
"The power of visualization derives from its ability to mold The Aether into a direct and exact image of the thing that is visualized. This conformity happens automatically, and no power on Earth or above can prevent it from taking place. Indeed, so powerful is the control of thought upon The Aether that a special Group of serving Entities called Devas had to be created when it was realized that the thought-power of Man was beginning to run amok and to create untold amounts of negative imagery in The Aether. The reason this condition alarmed Those Who had the developement of Earth in Their care was simply that the imagery projected upon The Aether by thought must manifest at the physical level sooner or later, and there was great danger in allowing this manifestation to occur in an uncontrolled or random manner."
"The Law Which requires the manifestation in physical material of all thought imagery projected upon The Aether was first established to allow The Entities Who directly created the lower worlds (on command from The Highest Creator) to simply picture mentally what They wished to create, following which a gradual materialization of that which They pictured would take place. However, This Law, if misused, can work great harm. The harm which Mankind has caused with His negative thought can be seen on all sides -- in the rampant illness of body and mind presently in The World, in the grave threat of nuclear warfare and destruction which hangs over all men in these last days, and in the murderous activities of terrorists in many lands."
"The creation of The Devic Kingdom to serve Man was brought about in order to allow some form of regular control and directing to take place in regard to the manifestation of the images projected upon The Aether by thought. The Devas do not prevent or detour the energies but merely exert sufficient control to prevent sudden and random materializations that could be dangerous."
"As to the best manner in which to utilize the visualization gift, this is merely a matter of halting the projection of negative thoughts and allowing only positive and creative thoughts to inhabit the mind. That is much more easily said than done, however, due to the years-long habits of negative and destructive thinking which most humans have."
"The exercise which is the best one to allow effective visualization to be developed is that of holding a clear and solid picture of something before the inner sight. This is a technique which requires much effort, but with practice anyone can master it. It is merely a matter of setting aside so many minutes per day and concentrating on a specific object. We recommend that actual objects be used initially, because it is easier to bring up the picture of something which the eyes have seen than it is to hold in the mind something more nebulous or abstract, such as an emotion, a philosophical principle, or the like."
"After the experimenter has mastered the art of holding the picture clearly and steadily before his inner sight for 5 minutes without a break, he is definitely ready to begin to use the gift of visualization to effect change in his life. If a particular thing is desired, it is merely necessary to take 5 minutes each day and concentrate on the image of that thing. By The Law of Manifestation, and with the help of The Devic Kingdom, that object or thing will inevitably be brought across his path. The proof of what We say is in the doing. Any who wish to test this simple procedure will, without fail, achieve what they seek so long as they can first master the technique of inner picturing, as We have explained it above."
"We could point out that the matter of what is visualized does not affect the process. The technique can be used equally for good or for evil. That is the hidden meaning of the scriptural statement that 'the devil has power to work miracles'. It is not only those on The Spiritual Path who are allowed access to this great gift. Any who give it the requisite effort can achieve it. However, merely because one is using one of the great Spiritual Laws (that of manifestation), this does not allow him to avoid the karmic consequences of any actions which bring harm or pain to another creature that God has made."
"Karma is also a high Spiritual Law, and its effects are equally unavoidable. Thus, We caution those who wish to develope this gift of visualization to think carefully about their motives and about the effects upon others of their attaining what they desire. Those who use the gift of visualization only to bring help and spiritual uplift to their brothers will have truly learned to walk in the footsteps of The Master."
