So all vibratory creation isnothing but frozen spirit. Spirit dreameda vibratory uaiverse or Holy Ghost andit was there,

frozen rmagination of Goo. Tbis HolyGhost in the Hindu Bibles is called "TheAum", but by the scientists it is knownas cosmic vibration. The Spirit there-fore, COllW not create matter as anythingdifferent from Itself} for it had only Itselfas the tissue or material with. wb ich tobuild the cosmos.God the Father, or Sat of the HinduBibleAs soon as the Spirit 'evolved a cosmicvibratory thought, through t.he:action ofthe cosmic magical measuring power ofDelusion, it became condensed into co -

mic energy. Cosmic enetrgy then becamecondensed into the material cosmos withsolid. liquid, and gaseous sub tances.After creating the Ideational Astt:al andPhysical Vibration, or Holy Ghost, theuntreated, unmanifested Spirit becameG~d the Father, Spirit became the crea-tor of all creative vibration.

In order todivide itself the Spirit first differentiateditself a.

In the mother's body thebaby bas to battle with disease, darkness,and ignorance. Each child bas to fight

Daily Introspection Necessary to Preparefor Better Success in Psychological WarsThe Gita says that it is necessary atthe end of each da}!

The Gha says tha.t mostindividuals -who lead their lives nncon-

sciously find the Kingdom 6f their bodiesoverrun. by the insurgents of disease" fail-ure, and. ignontnce. So everyone's blind,unconscious mind, before sleeping atnight should ask within itself, "Gatheredtogether on the bodily, sacred tract andfield of action, nrv children> the crooked,tempting, menta!" tendencies and the op-poaing clans of self-discipline and self-control, what did they ?"

Why the Past Tense Is Used in"Wliat Did They?"TheS~e Byasa. used the past tense,'v\ bat did th8'y?" to dt!pict the past tensein vohred in all ,psychG1ogieal battles thathould b,e introspecjed, I-listOl"ically-King Dh,rjtarashtra should have askedanjaya, "My children, the wickedKuru and the pure Pandus, whaf arethey daing?
