Re Talk: 154
I would like to turn your attention to that particular substance in the blood directly connected with the level of consciousness in man. I am going to give you my name for it. It has to do with a certain quite real combination, and I could give it a truly chemical description, but it would have no meaning. I have a symbol for it... AMv12.
That is what I have named it although it's gone under other names despite the fact that those who named it didn't know it. Nothing happens until there is a biochemical alteration within the brain itself. Everything from a man believing he heard the voices of the gods to another man perceiving that he's hungry -- everything is predicated on a biochemical reaction in the brain itself. If indeed a god could sweep down and whisper The Secret in your ear, this same mundane process would have to take place for you to hear it.
The production of AMv12 has continually increased as humanity has evolved. Of course the Yellow Circuit wants to hear that this increased AMv12 has caused humanity to become more sophisticated, more conscious. But if you believe that, you are still tied up with the chicken or the egg question. Yes, this substance causes people to be more conscious and also, no, it does not. The question is fallacious in that it is only two-thirds of a question.
The production has increased. That has been the progress; from the technological realm to the development in parts of the world of more humane attitudes. But, as the production is increased, its use has also increased. It continues to be entirely extracted within the individual before it reaches Line level. There is more AMv12 being produced in you than there was in all of the historical religious and mystical figures. More than in your grandfather. But it takes more to keep you alive. It takes more to keep you conscious than it did them...
In the diagram of the nervous system there are three adits or passageways where AMv12 is extracted. The first is at the base of the spine and some of the substance is extracted at that level in the mines. The second adit is located at the junction of the line and circle -- schematically representing the energy in the nervous system before it reaches the brain. This outlet is in the neighborhood of the Blue level and you'd be correct in surmising that it had some connection to the respiratory system.
The final extraction is in the third adit. Here the last trace is removed. All three adits are in operation for a man or woman to function sanely in the ordinary world. The Few -- who must conserve this substance and persevere to have it reach above the Line, must minimize its removal at each outlet.
One means of minimizing loss down in the mines is to adopt the motto, "Forget Health." Just a minimal amount of AMv12 is necessary at the first adit in someone who is basically healthy. You can't directly control this process but by forgetting health -- in the widest sense you will minimize how much AMv12 is necessary for efficient operations in the mines. As an aside I might mention, and I'm not recommending this, that there have always been stories of prophets and gurus of notoriety. Their behavior was dissolute -- non-paralleled drinkers, womanizers, they ate nothing but candy bars, yet they persevered. But I assume you know by now that if you can't do it, you can't learn how. And if you can do it, you don't have to learn how. Health amounts to taking the absolute minimum of the substance out of the blood.
When you see an article titled, "New Testing Shows that food causes cancer", and you just can't wait to get it home and read it, or you rummage around for sales on blood pressure kits to take yours three times a day -- the AMv12 is being extracted in the ordinary way. Th first time you hear somebody in the office mention, "There is a new disease going around and you've got to hear about it because you might like it, you might even have it!" You must keep it all at bay.
You must also understand that there is no such thing as ambrosia. Now there are whole magazines devoted to: "How to be a More Enlightened, a More Awakened Person," but every article is on the basis of health and 99% of it is on the basis of diet. They have gone from covering ideas of a philosophical or mystical nature to covering diet: "Pancakes are good for Your Love Life." It is not just funny. It is health, forward and back and you should see that there is a built-in appeal. There always has been; it is nothing new. Once you start addressing what people eat, or fooling around with their sex life, you immediately attract a large segment. You've got all the miners, the good old lower circuit folks. They want religion, and there it is: "Well, it is quite simple. Here are two rules regarding sex and here are four or five (maybe a hundred and five) regarding food." It would keep a man busy forever; worrying about what he ate, where it came from, how to treat it, what does it have in it. You will keep all of the miners satisfied forever. If you want to pick up books and think, "I'll get involved with taking my own blood pressure. It'll help my aim. Or I'll keep looking at my tongue to see if it is the right color," it will be a good hobby. But if you have a real Aim, it is not a good hobby, because it is removing more energy down there than necessary. If you were not wired to be healthy, after a certain point, something is wrong. You'll begin to feel it. Or, on the contrary, what if one day you turned around and realized that not only are you not sick anymore, you don't even think about being sick?
Do I even have to point out the losses connected to the second adit? Ordinary emotions, suffering, anger, sarcasm, all help to remove the substance. And that's perfectly proper; the world has not gone astray. People must be hostile, cynical, angry -- it is the substance being taken out at the second adit and it's feeding a particular place in the body of a man and in the body of Life. The second adit is a prime passageway, where humanity, individually and collectively, plugs into certain types of religions. They believe: "I have found my religion, I have found my kind of philosophy." But what it is, is AMv12 being taken out, being passed in Life, through this particular person apparently being involved with this particular religion. And instead of them individually growing from it, it helps Life grow. It passes energy. But they don't grow individually. They grow in the sense that all of Life is growing. They are expending energy in a quite mechanical, proper manner. This substance, out of the blood, is going into that religion.
Individuals condemn themselves and parts of Life condemn each other: "Fred is too hostile." "I'm fat." "England has always misrepresented itself..." To condemn what you can't even stop is as natural as breathing. So the feeling that a human should not be involved with certain emotions is neither here nor there. If it were not necessary, people would not be doing it.
The Few who alter their internal biochemical structure operate with only a minimal displacement, minimal use of this substance at the second outlet. You become just emotional enough at the ordinary level to pass as human and stay alive. It must be extracted to some degree because the region must be fed or you wouldn't be human.
There is at the Yellow Circuit level, among other levels, but specifically there, that which the infra-system accepts and that which it rejects. What is not ever perceived is that that which is accepted and that which is rejected are in continuous, simultaneous communication. This not being seen, takes out the last bit of AMv12, leaving nothing left for additional growth, for vertical ascent. Mystical states of all stripes and description no matter under what religious banner, all had to do with some of that substance getting past that third adit. The person experienced a temporary, biochemical alteration. And it makes all manner of dope look like aspirin. Of course, if it was an accidental experience they could not explain it once the substance returns to its normal level. Nobody lies when they say, "I can't explain it to you. I can tell you it was unbelievably delicious. It was unbelievably expansive, it was just plain unbelievable."
The real justice of it is that nobody can see this substance because their own AMv12 (which they would need to see it) is extracted before and as it reaches the Line. No ordinary man of medicine, or scientist if they were studying the composition of the blood -- perhaps looking for it after hearing these words, can see it because their's is already used up. They don't have the faculty to see it. But it is there. All they would find is what's already been found, what's already known. JC Talk 154
