And it's all within our spine. And yes, we know that, right? Because we've heard this; we've heard this talked about, that your spine is the highway to the Infinite. And it is.
And there's the magnetic pole that is up here [pointing to spiritual eye], that takes us into God consciousness. Now at the same time, there's a negative magnetic pole that's always bringing us down. So...and that's the law of creation anyway: It has to have the positive and negative poles to keep us in existence. And if at any time it became totally positive, then that existence would no longer exist; we'd no longer exist. And that's when we find ourself uplifted totally, right?
Okay, so this is the process that we're going through. And as you tune in to these different levels, it's almost like our spine is—I was thinking about it being like a high rise, and, well, not real high, let's say seven stories. And so when you get on the elevator, and that's what it is, it's like an elevator going up and down our spine: our consciousness. As our consciousness changes, then we're on a different floor. And so we we have a different reality.
And so if you give in to that negative magnetism, because both magnets are pulling us, depending on what part of the spine we're tuning in to, so you can get on, you can start tuning in to the negative aspect and get on that elevator and, phoom!, it will obligingly take you to the basement.
And there you are in the basement, and it's dark, and you're dreary, and you think, "Okay, well, I'll get in the elevator and push the button, go up again." You get in the elevator, and it didn't quite work to push the button. And so you have to take the stairs. You start doing affirmations, you start tuning in again, until you bring your consciousness up.
And that's the important thing. And that's our key. Because when you're positive, that positive magnet will pull you up. And that's all you need to do, is be positive. So if you find your energy starting to go down, just turn it around.
It's not rocket science. It's science, though. And…so we always needing to be aware of that, using all the techniques that we have, all that Master gave us, all the books that Swami wrote, to be able to do that.
