I t has been exp la ined to you in your l essons tha t youhave a psych ic body, o r a psychic self . T his psychic selfhas a ne rvous sys tem which i s known as the sympathe t i cnervous sys tem, and i t cor responds to the nervous sys temof yo ur physica l body. T his sym pa thet ic nervous sys temis responsive only to psychic impressions, to vibrat ionswhich are so sensi t ive as not to be direct ly impressionableon yo ur physica l, o r ord inary nervous sys tem . Th us , foran example, cer tain musical notes the vibrat ions and f re-quency of which are too h igh to regis ter on the human earand to impress the physical nervous system would affect

the sym pathe ti c ne rvous sys tem. T here is a ha rmon ic re la-t ionship betw een these two nervous sys tems. A ny thingwhich r eac t s upon the sympathe t i c ne rvous sys tem se t sup a cor responding v ibra tory condi t ion in the physica lnervous system w hich respo nd s to i t. T his is the sam e aswhen a t rue no te tha t i s s t ruck on the p iano keyboard p ro-duces a harmonic note in the scale above, or below i t ,l ike an echo. Psychic impress ions cannot be sensed throughthe medium of your physica l nervous sys tem di rec t ly .These impress ions are too sensi t ive for the recept iv i ty ofthe ord inary nervous sys tem; they must f i r s t a f fec t the

nervous sys tem of your psychic se l f which i s a t tuned tothem, and then they a re r educed o r t ransfo rm ed so tha tyou physica l ly may sense them in s ight , fee l ing , hear ing ,or smell ing.
