Letters on Occult Meditation - Letter VI - The Use of Form in Meditation

Forms used in Healing

We must touch now on these forms, remembering first of all that they

will be necessarily arranged in three groups, each with many subsidiary

heads.

a. Forms for use in physical healing. You would be

surprised how seldom these forms will be required, and how few in

number therefore they are. The reason for this is that very few of the

troubles of the dense physical body arise within that body itself. A

few arise directly in the etheric body, but at this stage of evolution

most of the troubles arise in the emotional body, and the remainder in

the mental. We might generalize and say that: [159]

25% of the ills flesh is heir to, arise in the etheric body.25% in the mental body.50% find their origin in the emotional body.

Therefore, though accidents may occur which lead to unexpected

physical disaster and for which forms for healing may be given, yet the

wise student will find that the forms that affect the etheric body may

be the first point of departure. These forms, built up in meditation,

will act directly on the pranic channels that go to the makeup of the

etheric - that intricate web which has its counterpart in the

circulatory system of the dense physical body. They are the seat of

much of the present disease in that body, either directly or through

causes set up on the emotional plane and reacting on the etheric.

b. Forms for healing the emotional body.As said above, much

of the present sickness is due to causes set up in the emotional body

and these causes are mainly three. I would point out that I but outline

broadly and give general indications.

Violent emotion and unstable vibration. This, if indulged

in, has a shattering effect and reacts on the nervous system. If

suppressed and inhibited it has an equally dangerous effect, and

results in a diseased condition of the liver, in bilious attacks, in

the poisons which are generated in the system and find their outlet in

certain cases of septic poisoning, in skin diseases, and in some forms

of anemia.Fear and forebodings, worry and despair. These types of

emotion - which are so common - have a general debilitating effect on

the system, leading to loss of vitality, to sluggish action of the

organs, and to many forms of obscure diseases of the nervous system, of

the brain and of the spine. [160]Sex emotions, covering a very large range of feeling,

ranging from the suppressed sex emotion which is now beginning to be

studied by our psychologists to the unclean criminal emotion that finds

its expression in violent orgies and license.

Under all these heads many points may be gathered, but I write not

letters on healing, but letters on meditation, so I must not further

enlarge.

In the forms used in these three cases attention will be paid to the

cause of the trouble, to the plane on which it originates, and to the

effects on the lower bodies or body. In apportioning forms different

aims will be in view. Where, for instance, the trouble is based on

suppressed emotion, the effect of the form (when rightly followed) will

be to transmute the emotion and turn it upward. When, by right use, the

emotional body is cleared of the emotional congestion, the life-giving

forces of the Ego, and of the pranic life everywhere available, will be

set free. They can then circulate with facility, tuning up the entire

system and cleansing all organs that were suffering from the inner

congestion.

c. Forms for mental healing. These will be, for the majority

of you, much more obscure, and in fact mental trouble is far more

difficult to cure than either of the other two. This is due to two

causes, one being that our polarization as a race is not yet in the

mental body. It is always much more easy to contact a body and to

manipulate it when it is the seat of the center of consciousness. The

emotional body likewise, being more fluidic, is more easily impressed.

I cannot enlarge upon the troubles of the mental body today save to

point out that these causes may arise within the mental body itself as

a karmic inheritance, or may originate on the emotional plane and work

their way back into the mental body. For instance, [161] a person may

be prone to some emotional storm. This - if persisted in - may set up

an analogous vibration in the mental body. This vibration in its turn

may become practically permanent, and by the interaction of these two

bodies serious trouble may be set up. This trouble may go all the way

from simply causing a general souring of the Personality, so that the

man recognized as an unhappy, unpleasant individual, to definite brain

disease, resulting in lunacy, brain tumors and cancer in the head.

For all these troubles forms of meditation may be found which - if

followed in time - will eventually dissipate them. The fundamental fact

to be grasped here is that only when the pupil has an intelligent

appreciation of the trouble or troubles affecting him, only when he has

the ability to conscientiously follow the imparted formulas, and only

when his object is unselfish, will he be trusted with these forms. When

his object is to equip himself for service, when he aims only at the

acquirement of healthy vehicles for the better carrying out of the plan

of the Great Ones, and when he desires not to escape disease for his

own personal benefit, only then will the formulas work in connection

with the egoic consciousness. The downflow of life from the God within

results in sound vehicles, so that it is only as the Personality

becomes merged in the Ego, and the polarization shifts from the lower

to the higher that the work becomes possible. That time is nearing now

for many, and progress in the new medical school - based on thought -

can be looked for. Forms in meditation are but forms in thought matter,

so that it will be apparent to you that a general beginning has been

made.

One more hint on this matter I give: Through the various centers of

the body - those seven centers with [162] which the pupil has to do -

will come the power to heal the corresponding physical center. As the

centers are vitalized certain physical effects will be demonstrable,

and in specific forms that work on and through the centers will come

results that may throw light on this obscure matter of healing through

the subtle bodies.
