456 VIBRATION. (April<br />

at all times remember that truly divine powers can only be obtained<br />

by the man or the woman who is w01·king in perfect harmony<br />

with the mind and will of God. Therefore, brethren, if<br />

you would be perfect, aR your Father in heaven is perfect. let<br />

the silent aspiration of your soul ever ue: "Father, let thy kingdom<br />

<strong>com</strong>e, thy will be done in me, as perfectly as it is done by<br />

the heavenly host."<br />

The different notes in the organism of the ortlinary individual<br />

vibrate di!ICordautly. This di11cordant state of vibration throws<br />

the physical body into confusion, which causes unhappiness,<br />

sickness, and death. In the pure natural animal, the vibrations<br />

are perfectly attuned to the astral, the realm which directly<br />

affects the physical worltl. The disco~daut state of the ,·ihrations<br />

in mau is caused, we believe, by the constant struggle going<br />

on between his higher and lower nature. Hi.i higher spi•·itual<br />

nature is governed by the spiritual vibrations, his lower<br />

nature or physical body, by the vib1·ations emanating from the<br />

Man is a finely strung musical inlltl'llment uf most delicaw<br />

center, the h1·ain. the seat of intellection, the borne wherein<br />

dwells the master. the Icing, who should have a perfet untlerstanrfing<br />

of his powers, and be able to control the instrument.<br />

his physical bncly, with which God has intmsted him. The<br />

nerves are made sensitive and respon11i ve through being the<br />

medium nsell to earry the life-that wonclerfnl fluid which is a<br />

part of God-from the organs in which it is gathered, to the<br />

seat of expression, the brain. At present man can but faintly<br />

imagine the wonderful qualities auan at present we can po!:!sibly reeeive. This, added<br />
