chapter, but the above is one of the fundamental differences
between a medium and a properly trained clairvoyant. It is
impossible for most people to distinguish between the two;
yet there is one infallible rule that can be followed by
anyone:No genuinely developed seer will ever exercise this
faculty for money or its equivalent; nor will he use it to
gratify curiosity; but only to help humanity.
No one capable of teaching the proper method for the
development of this faculty will ever charge so much a
lesson. Those demanding money for the exercise of, or for
giving lessons in these things never have anything worth
paying for. The above rule is a safe and sure guide, which all
may follow with absolute confidence.
In a far distant future man's desire body will become as
definitely organized as are the vital and dense bodies. When
that stage is reached we shall all have the power to function
in the desire body as we now do in the dense body, which is
the oldest and best organized of these bodies of man—the
desire body being the youngest.
The desire body is rooted in the liver, as the vital body is
in the spleen.
In all warm-blooded creatures, which are the highest
evolved, and have feelings, passions and emotions, which
reach outward into the world with desire, which may be said
to really live in the fuller meaning of the term and not
merely vegetate—in all such creatures the currents of the
desire body flow outward from the liver. The desire stuff is
continually welling out in streams or currents which travel in
curved lines to every point of the periphery of the ovoid and
then return to the liver through a number of vortices, much
as boiling water is continually welling outward from the
source of heat and returning to it after completing its cycle.
