Emotional trouble that is working out in the physical body, as is the case in the majority of physical ills today, can usually be located and eliminated by judicious treatment. But emotional trouble that is deep seated in the subtle body, has to be dealt with from mental levels, so that it requires a mental psychic to deal with and eliminate it. All these methods of course entail the active conscious cooperation of the patient himself.

Similarly, mental trouble has to be dealt with directly from the causal level, and necessitates therefore the assistance of the Ego, and the help of someone who has causal vision and consciousness. This latter method, and the major part of these types of trouble, lie far ahead for the race, and therefore little concern us at this time. Nevertheless the curing of physical ailments that have their seat in the emotional body is already beginning to be known and slightly studied. In the study of psychology and in the comprehension of nervous diseases and troubles and their linking together will come the next step ahead in medical science. The link between the body of the emotions and physical body is the etheric body. The next immediate step is to consider the etheric body in two ways, either as a transmitter of prana, the life force, vitality or magnetism, or as the vehicle which links the emotional nature to the dense physical. The physical invariably follows the behests of that nature as transmitted via the etheric.

In forming groups for healing under ideal conditions you would have at the head of the group a person with causal consciousness, who can deal with any trouble in the mental body, and who can study the alignment of all [246] the bodies with the Ego. The group will also include:

1. A person, or persons who can clairvoyantly view the subtle body of the emotions.
2. A number of people who know somewhat the rudiments of the law of vibration, and can definitely, by the power of thought, apply certain waves of color to effect certain cures, and bring about, through scientific comprehension, the desired results.
3. Some member of the group will also be a member of the medical profession, who will work with the physical body, under the direction of conscious clairvoyants. He will study the resistance of the body, he will apply certain currents, and colors, and vibrations, which will have a direct physical effect, and by the cooperation of all those units in the group, results will be achieved that will merit the name of miracles.
4. In the group, also, will be a number of people who can meditate occultly, and can, by the power of their meditation, create the necessary funnel for the transmission of the healing forces of the higher self and of the Master.
5. Besides this, in each group will be found some person who can accurately transcribe all that takes place, and so keep records that will prove to be the literature of the new school of medicine.

I have here touched on the ideal group. It is not as yet in any way possible, but a beginning can be made by the utilization of any knowledge and powers that may be found amongst those who seek to serve their race and the Master.

As you will note from the above, colors will be applied in two ways: [247]

1. On the subtler planes by the power of thought, and
2. By means of colored lights applied to the physical body.

On the physical plane the exoteric color will be applied, whilst on the subtler the esoteric. The work therefore will be (until the esoteric becomes the exoteric) largely in the hands of the occult students of the world, working in organized groups under expert supervision.

You ask, just what is the point at which these groups may now begin to work with color? The thing that now lies ahead to be mastered and done is to develop the knowledge necessary anent the etheric, to inculcate the building of pure bodies, and to study the effect of different colors on the dense physical. It has been but little studied as yet. It will be found that certain colors will definitely affect certain diseases, cure certain nervous troubles, eradicate certain nervous tendencies, tend to the building of new tissues, or to the burning out of corruption. All this must be studied. Experiments can be made along the line of vitalization and magnetization, which involve direct action on the etheric, and this again will be found hid in the law of vibration and of color. Later... we can take up with greater detail the work of these healing groups, when gathered for meditation. Here I would but add that certain colors have a definite effect, though I can only as yet enumerate three, and them but briefly:

1. Orange stimulates the action of the etheric body; it removes congestion and increases the flow of prana.
2. Rose acts upon the nervous system and tends to vitalization, and to the removal of depression, and [248] symptoms of debilitation; it increases the will to live.
3. Green has a general healing effect, and can be safely used in cases of inflammation and of fever, but it is almost impossible as yet to provide the right conditions for the application of this color, or to arrive at the adequate shade. It is one of the basic colors to be used eventually in the healing of the dense physical body, being the color of the note of Nature.
