During his experiments with telepathy Sidney
Weltmer once sent the phrase
“I feel the
glow of new health.”
“I seemed to think this phrase into form
and the music seemed to catch that thought. (He
was at a vaudeville tent show and the orchestra had just started playing at the
time.) It seemed to go out in strains of the
music, float in the air, like a ball of fire. After it reached a certain
distance from me it separated into thousands of pieces, each of which was a
separate thing, and all of them seemed to be quivering in the air for a moment,
then start away in different directions. I seemed to be fascinated with that
divided thing, and all at once one of them which attracted my attention seemed
to take the form of a man. I watched it and it took my form. I knew it was
myself out there in space. Then instantly I noticed that all those different
divisions were myself. Whenever I looked there were just as many selves as
there were those things, each one of them myself.”
He wondered about the futility of sending them out and
received the message: “Do
not call us back. Send us on, no matter whether they hear what we have to say
or not. Send us on, we cannot go in vain. We cannot return to you void. We will carry your
messages. Send us on, let us go.”
The explanation he was given, which is equally applicable
to suggestive therapeutics, telepathy, thoughts, healing, prayer and ACIM, is:
“I told you once before that I would tell you how you
could appear to so many people at once and this is the explanation.
Your thought goes out in space to many
people, and as many times that that thought divides into form and each of those
forms is yourself. Wherever that thought goes, it goes in the form of yourself.
Those whose minds are open, whose minds
are receptive, whose psychic powers are awake, can see, hear and feel you when
you go to them; those who are not, cannot feel you, but you will reach a
certain part of each person, no matter whether they know it or not, but that is
not your business to ask where we go when you send us out. It is not part of your
work*.
Just know that you send us and trust us
to go. Some day we will come back with your message and tell you we have
delivered it, tell you we have effected some result from it, just as I have
been able to tell you now that this is the means by which you can appear to so
many people at once.”
Thoughts do not return void:
“Every kind thought and every helpful
word that man has ever uttered is an eternal entity, and it will never again
return to the one who pronounced it, until it accomplishes its mission.”
* Someone I know who was into channeling once used that term "work". The Holy Spirit works at the level appropriate for each individual.
