“Ether is the subtle, universal, magnetic, fluidic medium in which all things are embedded.” That is the opinion of the scientific world. The ether is the God Substance, and “in Him we live and move and have our being.” That was the teaching of Christ. In this universal substance, which is the consciousness or essence of mind, we exist; it permeates our body; we swim in the great sea of ether, or Divine Mind, if you prefer to call it that. And in the silence we consciously direct our thoughts into the ethers, believing that we have received; and that is the attitude which assures us that we are one . . we feel it.
That is the secret of the silence and what it brings to us. Think love to a friend; your love will go to him precisely as you think it, and with no greater or less intensity than you feel it. When we go into the silence we shut out all the senses, and merge them into feeling. Lose the sense of sight first; second the sense of sound and then the sense of motion . . and you are still. Then lose the sense of color, and all becomes the Great White Light.
The ether, or the Universal Mind, is the great storehouse of God, in which is everything conceivable by the mind of man. The subconscious mind is the universal storehouse. Did you ever stand by a river and watch a vortex whirling round and round, drawing into itself everything which came floating down the current? Each of us is a vortex in the great sea of God consciousness and we draw into ourselves according to the energy of thought and feeling; and we draw, according to our attitude of mind, the thing we feel is Truth. According to your faith (feeling) be it done unto you; for the thing that we feel, is the thing in which we have faith.
The universal ethers are no respecters of persons. They yield to you and connect you with any of their parts. The ether does not retard or impair any force you send into it, but brings back to you precisely what you send forth with faith. It will back you to your own success or to your own destruction. Consciously direct your thought into the ether and it will reach the person to whom you direct it. The thought makes a little pathway to that person, and the path acts as the wire over which your message is sent. The action of the thought is exactly comparable to wireless telegraphy, even down to the wave lengths.
