words indiscriminately. It is hardly necessary to remind the reader
that paintings of Christ, the Virgin Mary and the Infant, etc.,
almost invariably contain this symbolic representation—just as we
find the portrait of Krishna, nursed by Devaki, portraying a golden
halo round the heads of both.

Beloved Members, Greetings!
We have now approached a point where most of you must be close
to various very important changes taking place in your systems. I
want to be a little ahead of these changes in my explanation about them, and to offer a few words of warning.
HEALTH AND As your health improves, or at least as your vital-
RADIATIONS ity becomes harmonized with the Cosmic, and there
fore strengthened, your aura will become stronger
and the radiations from your body will become stronger. This
brings me to the important point of advising you, perhaps for the first time in all of our studies and lessons, that the radiations from a healthy psychic and physical body combined in one perfect unit consist of something more than the mere colors that are seen
in the aura. In other words, in the perfect being where the p s y
chic and physical are united or balanced, and there is the right degree of vitality and a proper activity on the part of the psychic centers, there will be certain radiations or emanations from the
human body that are not ordinarily understood. In fact, what I am
going to tell you now has been carefully concealed from the members in the lower Degrees and I am sure that none of you will feel that it is a proper subject to discuss with the members in the lower
Degrees. Many of them would misunderstand just what we meant and
many more would try experiments hoping to bring about some quick results and would probably delay their own progress.
All of the emanations from a perfectly balanced physical body
are in the form of etheric waves. I do not know what an etheric
wave is and I don't think anyone else knows, but we call these waves e t h e r i c , because that implies something practically invisible and almost intangible and highly magnetic--and that is a fairly
good description of these waves. Now, all matter is composed of
electronic vibrations that are practically of the same nature as
these emanations from the human body. In other words, the emana
tions from a healthy human body are of such nature that they might easily compose a new form of matter if there were any reason for
their doing so. The electricity that flows into a lamp and flows
out again on its way to another lamp produces light in each lamp. The cosmic energy and vibrations that flow into a human being pr o duce life and vitality in that body, and as they radiate and ema nate from the body they might produce more life or more matter.
The truth is this: The emanations from a perfectly healthy
body do produce a material substance and herein lies a great m y s
tery. In persons where the health is breaking down and
the body is rapidly losing its reconstructive power we find that the emanations carry off so much vitality that
