Chapter 2.2 - The mediums

- 17 - 2. 3 The training of mediums (Transmission from the SPHERES of LIGHT) I will pour water on the thirsty land and floods of rain on the dry ground; I will pour my spirit on your people and my blessings on your offspring. (Isaiah 44: 3) Whatever is intended to serve a particular purpose must first be suitably set out, prepared and adapted, as your machinery and tools are constructed to meet the ends for which they were designed. Mediums are the instruments of the spirit world. Their purpose is to make communication between the spirits and material creation possible. Hence these mediums must be made capable of doing whatever may be necessary for achieving that purpose. This is accomplished by the development of their mediumistic powers. Mediums are primarily sources of energy from which the spirit beings draw the fuel for their work. It is they who furnish the odic force. To make the steps in the development of mediums as understandable as possible for you, I shall again make use of a comparison. To run your automobiles, you use a substance obtained from oil deposits. When tapping these, the first step is to drill deeply enough to obtain a sufficient amount of oil to make its extraction profitable. But the crude oil as it flows from the wells cannot be used as such. It must first be refined and undergo various forms of filtering to make it suitable for the many uses to which it is to be put. In the same way the spirit world’s first concern is to provide for as great an amount of od as possible from the mediums. • This od is, however, bound to the medium’s body, and it must be treated so that it can be easily released and made available to the spirit world in the quantity required. You also speak of solubility, for example, in reference to the components of your artificial fertilizers. You differentiate between total phosphorous, potassium, nitrogen and calcium content and the soluble percentage of these elements. Only the latter portion is of value to you, and only the soluble percentage is paid for. “Similarly, only that od is of value to the spirits which can be made available by reason of its ability to release from a terrestrial body. • The more soluble a medium’s od, the greater the amount that can be made available, and the more striking and comprehensive the phenomena the spirit beings can produce. In speaking of the od made available by the development of the mediums and used as fuel by the communicating spirits, I must point out something very important. • If a spirit is carrying out a special command of God’s, that spirit will have at its disposal more od than is possessed by all creatures on earth put together. In this case the spirit stands in a special bond with the source of all odic force, God Himself, and can draw from this source whatever amount is required for carrying out the Divine command. If, for instance, God commands a spirit to impart instruction to mankind, the requisite amount of od is supplied to that spirit. The spirit will, however, make use of your od also, for the spirit world employs this precious resource as sparingly as you mortals do your most valuable worldly resources. In this case you reinforce the od at the spirit’s disposal with your own, and enable the spirit to
