What sustains you mentally?

What are the sustaining elements of man, physically and mentally? 

The sustaining elements of man, physically, are air, food, water. The spinal cord should be perfect, feeling of the body, nerves, eyes possessing double sight or second sight. 

Mentally, the elements are intelligence, soul love, life thoughts, visions, courage, decided control, the mental balancing with the body. 

The mental possess twelve brains because there are over six astral bodies—

One physical body

One inner body

One space body

One decided action body

One mental body

One spiritual body. 

Each must possess its own brain—a wireless base or station, which receives its directions from the main station—the soul.

What is the most difficult test to pass? 

The most difficult test to pass is trial without bitterness. 

What is the greatest asset of the age? 

The greatest asset to the earth age is the aerial. The reason for this is that the air brings physical men into close contact with the astral, and in time they will reach that destination through many discoveries. 

What is the silence and space between the astral and the earth plane? 

The silence between the earth plane and the astral is the Spirit of God, the Creator. He holds together with light and might the earth plane and the astral. 

Where are the most prominent planets and what is the astral? 

The most prominent planets are beyond human sight—the astral is a planetary substance unseen in space. 

Will man ever reach the astral without passing through the stage called death? 

Yes—in time, for the astral consists of a number of planets—the earth plane is only one of the many, many ones, but through past connections became one by itself. 

Man had to pass out of consciousness for a moment in so-called death before he felt capable of ascending through the great distance and space. 

As time passed, all traces of the astral vanished, and only the belief in it remained to help the struggling souls of the earth. 

A new system was formed because it became necessary, and birth was conceived—created. 

Men went to the earth plane in a false manner. In time the earth grew to believe it was the only planet of consequence—that all the others were nothing. As the ages went by, a climatic condition of the atmosphere came about, really caused by thought—for thought is atmosphere, and the astral schools and the earth plane school were separated. That is, they were not in relation or contact and only a vague thought of the astral existed. 

The earth would perish without the astral, for the astral is the creator of life and eternity, while the earth plane is only a dependent school. 

Therefore, men after a certain time upon the earth must cease their existence upon that planet and ascend to the astral for final tests. Then if necessary they will return again to the earth plane. 

Man is of the mind, and his thought can travel through all space. That is the secret, but without material aid his physical body cannot. 

The earth plane must grow back into the circle of astral schools—be one of them—or in time all belief in the astral would be lost and there would be no thought by which to ascend after passing on. 

The law of all being, mind, gives only so much time for the lessons to be completed upon the earth plane—therefore, in the scheme of all things, man must return to the astral.
