Text: "The Life, or the manifestation of that which is in motion, is receiving its impulse from a first cause. What is the first cause? That which has brought, is bringing, all life into being; or animation, or force, or power, or movement, or consciousness, as to either the material plane, the mental plane, the spiritual plane. Hence it is the force that is called Lord, God, Jehovah, Yah, Ohum [Ohm?], Abba and the like. Hence the activity that is seen of any element in the material plane is a manifestation of that first cause. One Force. And, as seen and stated above, a record in a phonograph is made up of elements of a certain combination of that which has become in manifested form in certain movements in relation to the first cause, for the projection (and does project) by natural laws; as the physical or material laws, then, are the reflection or shadow of spiritual laws. See? And these then make for, under certain laws, certain words, certain regulations, the retaining of that (through one of these elements or attributes of consciousness) which has passed before it; or that has been indented upon this element in this rate of activity of a first cause or first principle that is in movement, and unless in movement is not capable of being manifested in a material world. For, the movement itself (to make applicable another law) draws about a nucleus the positive and negative forces as to bring into visibility from one sphere or realm to another that force or power. Or it has lost that which makes for the raising or reducing of such vibrations as for the force, the power, the first cause, to become active in this or that or the other realm of consciousness. Then, as the realm of record is made by indentations of other influences that act upon the medium that is used as the source, or plate, or manner of recording, so will there be - with the acoustic arrangements of that which is the negative of that influence which causes the indentation - reproduced that which has been indented by the positive activity upon that record, that plate, that plane, that activity. So is this, then, as the record that is made of the force that manifests itself in the form of a body-mind with the attributes of all that vibration through which it has passed in reaching that place or plane of consciousness; it must be in accord, so that the record made is positive or negative (negative being error, positive being right - good), that it may be penetrated to through the application of a negative influence upon that in whatever realm it may have made its indentation or record. Then, only in attuning the forces of that which may be the medium of reading back that record which has been made, may this be given activity into another realm of consciousness for instruction, for edification, for those various activities of those seeking same. For, how does the answer come? For what purpose is the information sought? To do that which is in accord with that which first made the record, the indentation, or to correct that which has been in an obtuse angle to that which should be in accord with that to which the entity or the soul so making such a record is gathering its influence and force toward? Hence, how easily may there be a diffusion or a break in that which may be obtained through such a channel, that is capable of attuning self so that it may write, read, hear, see, feel, or experience, and - through some of the modes of approach to consciousness in a material world - give that experience which has been made by some activity; whether in this or that realm, in its course through that of eternity, time, space, or in the realm of the spirit itself! For, as given, names but give meets and bounds to the consciousness of those that classify such activities in a certain stage or realm of conscious movement. In the same manner we find the record as of the radio. The influences used here are simply a changed vibration of those very influences that have been described in their activity, and gather from this or that influence that which is being recorded. By the movement of what? The first cause, when in its activity in various forms or manners in a certain realm of consciousness. What, then, is the variation from the one to the other? The reproducer of that recorded. In one it is required that it change its realm of activity for reproduction. In the order it is attuned to the first cause, that gives off in whatever realm or place that is attuned to the activity, the immediate response. Hence, as from our first premise (the post), the conditions are only relative. Then, the psychic influences or forces in manifestation in their various spheres are as but a type of needle upon the record; a type of acoustics in the recorded or de-recording activity. Or the power and the influence by its development toward the realm of the first cause, as to the power of the tube or of the resoundant or of the length of its activity to care for its reproduction. Hence, out of tune by many of the channels that have been indicated did prevent at that time [355] from receiving that later given." Cayce (254-67)
