Hierarchy of Manifestation; Mastery
Here you are - on earth. How can you live a miraculous life in a place
like this? What do you have to work with? The most obvious resources are
your physical, mental, and emotional bodies. (We only have one body, and
each part influences the others. Looking at the parts individually,
though, can increase our understanding of how the whole functions.) 
We won't involve the astral and spiritual bodies for two reasons. First,
as humans, we can't control the spiritual body. Second, most of us are too
busy working on our psychological selves to practice controlling the
astral body. This control is the realm of magic. 
The Bodies
The mental body is the aspect that interprets "what's happening." Using
information from the other bodies, it constructs a picture of reality -
our reality. From this picture, it discerns and draws conclusions. It
calculates, predicts, and makes plans. 
The emotional body is complex. It feels. Our aura is a manifestation of
this body. It judges, but doesn't base its conclusions on logic. Instead,
the emotional body functions *psychologically*. Usually, it reacts rather
than acts. 
The physical body acts and makes things happen. This biological wonder is
the focus and ground point of the other bodies. 
Each body has a language of its own. While the physical body has "body
language," the emotional body communicates in positive and negative tones.
Using thoughts, the mental body organizes these messages and tries to make
sense out of them. If it fails, the person becomes dysfunctional. 
Hierarchy
 
The Mental Body 
Which of these bodies is the most creative force? Some schools of thought
believe that ideas are the most powerful. They claim that you can manifest
anything just by thinking about it. Without an idea, nothing will
manifest. If we keep a clear mind, we can easily test this theory.
Buy a lottery ticket (if your religion allows it). Through the week,
think, "I will win the lottery." Theoretically, you should win; the odds,
however, are still very much against you. Similarly, try thinking good or
bad thoughts about someone. Chances are, they won't feel it. The results
of positive thinking and affirmations aren't very striking. This view is
not "negative thinking"; these theories are something anyone can test. (Be
honest as you explore.)
(Consider an alternate possibility. A friend hands you a lottery ticket.
You stuff it in your pocket and forget about it. Next week, you discover
that you've won! No thought required!) 
The Emotional Body
The emotional body is different. When it's feeling positive or negative,
it radiates a force that other emotional bodies can sense. The impact
decreases with distance. (At-a-distance effects and psychic phenomena are
the domain of the astral plane.) 
Interestingly, experience shows that you can send and receive emotions
through the media of telephone, and a good actor or actress can send them
through film. On the average, this body doesn't produce consistent,
accurate predictions. Using the lottery example, maybe you "have the
feeling" that you will definitely win. That doesn't guarantee success. A
more probable outcome is that you will lose.
The Physical Body
Lastly, we have the physical body. It knows the basics. It says, Don't
hurt me, Feed me, Want mate. A biological miracle, it doesn't care about
winning the lottery. Without the physical body buying the ticket (or
accepting it from a friend), however, you don't have *any* chance of
winning. 
Here's another example of the physical body's concrete value. Say that
you're standing in line at the post office. The man in front of you is not
well, mentally. Which of the following events would influence you the
most? 
(1) He *thinks*, "I want to punch this person behind me." (You probably
won't notice.)
(2) Emotionally, he feels like punching you. (Maybe you pick up "bad
vibes.")
(3) He turns and angrily shouts, "I want to punch you." (This would alarm
you, but you would have a chance to make peace - or run.), or
(4) He punches you. (The deed is done.) 
Not only is action more powerful than words, but it has a greater impact
than thought or emotion, as well. Nonetheless, thought and emotion are
part of the manifestation process. If the distraught man hadn't thought or
felt, "I want to punch someone," then perhaps he wouldn't have acted. 
These subtle bodies, however, are impotent if the physical body doesn't
act on their suggestions. The physical body, however, can produce results
- apparently out of coincidence or luck - without the help of a thought or
a feeling.
Mastery
How can you apply this information to living a miraculous life? The magic
words are "Do It." Say that you want to travel from point A to point B.
You think and feel, "I can't do it." If your physical body believes that,
then you'll never make it to point B. Here are some examples of this. 
"I can never find my Right Livelihood." "I don't deserve a break." "If I'm
firm, people will think that I'm mean." "I'm not worthy to live a
miraculous life." Say you are trying to meditate, but "important thoughts" 
keep interrupting your focus. You can either indulge these intrusions -
"Well, they are important thoughts" - or you can override the "important
thoughts" excuse and continue meditating. 
A radical alternative to obeying your doubts is to *do it anyway*. Doing
this, indirectly you act as the Watcher, that point of consciousness
behind the thought. I say indirectly, because if the Watcher were to act,
it would no longer be the Watcher. (If you try to catch or identify with
this point of consciousness - "Ah, ha! I am the Watcher!" - you create a
mental picture of the Watcher. It becomes a thought, something that the
Watcher watches. The Watcher is the formless spiritual body. Once you say
"I am the Watcher," in that instant, you are not. The Watcher is *always
behind and beyond* the thought.)
Say you observe yourself thinking about moving to point B. The mental and
emotional bodies don't want to go. You say: "I understand that you have
your doubts about this move. Now we'll move to point B." The physical body
then takes the first step towards the goal. Like this, you transform
obstacles - emotional fears and mental doubts - into stepping stones. You
gently walk over them.
What's the difference between this action and positive thinking? Positive
thinking is when we police our thoughts; practitioners fear negative
thoughts. As we have seen, just thinking "happy thoughts" won't make us
happy. 
Behaving from the Watcher perspective, you don't fear negative thoughts.
Spirit gives you direction. You intuit your direction, and by "suggesting"
to the universe that it manifests, it does. Mystic principles are at work
here, not mental gymnastics. 
When you exercise this kind of command, you've mastered the "lower
bodies." Gaining this ability is a process, during which you may
experience periods of melancholy. Once mastered, you embody Divine Will.
You become a conscious expression of divinity. This mastery complements
living a miraculous life.
