Speaker 1: Get in tune. Marconi's wireless messages, vibrations reach only the
instruments attuned to the sender. The same law in operation
on the mental plane. The correct pitch is the thing.
Get in tune with the proper vibrations, get the messages
from the best senders. I have just finished reading an
account of Marconi's wireless telegraphy. It seems that when a
message is sent from the Marconi transmitter, the vibrations travel
in all directions, and not alone in the direction of
the person to whom the message is sent. It would
seem to the reader at first that any instrument in
any direction from the sender could and would be affected
by the vibrations, and would take up and record them.
But such is not the case. For Marconi finds that
he can attune his receiving instrument to a certain pitch,
and that the instrument will receive and record only vibrations
emanating from a sending instrument attuned to the same pitch.
This is true no matter how near the instruments may
be to each other, or in what direction they may
be from each other, and all instruments, irrespective of number,
that may be within sending distance, will receive the message,
providing they are attuned to the same pitch. Now, just
notice how much this corresponds to what we know of
the working of thought force. People whose minds are attuned
to a certain pitch will receive the vibrations from the
minds of others whose mental keynote is the same. And
if one maintains a high positive keynote, he will not
be affected by the vibrations emanating from the mind of another,
who may have a low negative pitch. The nearer to
our pitch the mind of an other there may be, the
more we feel the sympathetic vibrations in our own mind,
the greater the difference in the pitch, the less we
will feel in sympathy with them. This will account for
the instinctive likes or dislikes that many of us experience
when coming into the presence of other people. And how
soon do people of kindred vibrations seek out and find
each other in a mixed assembly. Many likes, unexplainable by
any theory of personal appearance, et cetera, arise from this cause.
And as the Marconi instruments may have their pitch changed,
so are our mental keynotes changed. From time to time,
as we adjust ourselves to new conditions as we grow.
This will explain why two people who at one time
seemed to be in perfect atuminent with each other will
drift apart until at last they seem to have scarcely
a thought or feeling in common. And yet both of
them may be good people, really anxious to be helped
to the other. But this is not the only way
in which the working of the Marconi system resembles the
workings of the mind. I have often called your attention
to the fact that the holding of certain mental attitudes
resulted in the attraction to one's self of thought vibrations
corresponding to the general character or the thought held in
the mind of the person. Let a man be filled
with the spirit of jealousy, and everything seems to feed
that feeling. He hears of cases of faithlessness on the
part of other persons. Every circumstance seems to confirm him
in his belief. The actions of the loved one seem
doubly suspicious. Signs of guilt are seen in every expression,
every move he draws to himself. The thought waves of
other minds vibrating on the same pitch like attracts like.
Let a man drop into the fear thought condition, and
immediately he feels the rush of fear to his mind.
Let him cast aside fear and attune himself to the
fearless pitch, and he feels an influx of courage, fearlessness, confidence, energy,
and other positive thoughts. And according to the character of
your thoughts, will you draw to yourself people calculated to
co operate with you and be of assistance to you.
Even things seem to shape themselves to fit in with
the keynote you have sounded. Not only do you attract
to yourself people and things corresponding with your mental pitch,
but you send out thought waves affecting others, creating impressions
upon them. Go into the presence of an I can
and I will man, and if you are of the
same kind, he will instantly perceive it and will be
glad to talk to you. On the other hand, approach
a man of this kind with your mind full of
I can't, and he will be conscious of inharmony and
will you'll want to be rid of your presence at once.
Be a man with the southern exposure, such as I
describe to you in another article, and you will find
that you will extract and draw to yourself all the
sunniness in the nature of people with whom you come
in contact. Be a human wet blanket, such as I
have described in another article, and you will find that
you will get the meanest qualities inherent in the nature
of people with whom you come in contact. In fact,
you will be able to attract only that kind of
people who are as musty and unwholesome as yourself. Get
rid of the old negative notes, start in and cultivate
the positive, joyous, active vibrations until you reach the steady
mental pitch of the new thought man. Then will all
the negative vibrations pass you by, finding no encouragement to
enter your mentality. Then will you receive the bright, cheerful, happy,
fearless vibrations coming from others who have reached the same
plain of thought. Get in tune, Get in tune.
