<p class="paracenter">RECORD OF WORLD-HISTORY
</p>
<br>
<p class="para">
All that has happened upon earth, everything from the beginning of 
creation till now, everything without exception has been recorded somewhere in 
some particular world or region of consciousness. All that man has thought, his 
researches and discoveries, his findings and conclusions are kept intact, 
carefully stored. If you want to know anything of the past history of the earth, 
the happening at a particular time and place, you have simply to transplant 
yourself into that world and look into the records.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> It is a very curious place, 
something like a vast library. It consists of an infinite number of cells, as it 
were, each containing all information on a particular subject. They seem to be 
squares in shape and they remain closed normally. If you have to consult a 
particular square, you press a button and it opens and out of it comes a roll of 
written matter. You unroll it and find out what you want. There are millions and 
millions and millions of these cells and rolls, around, above, everywhere. 
Fortunately in the mental world you can move anywhere as you like, you do not 
require lifts and ladders to get up.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> The point, however, is how to go 
there at all. Well, the first thing is that you must completely silence your 
mind. Mental cogitations, agitations you must leave behind, no thoughts must 
enter your consciousness, it

<hr>
<p class="para">must be tranquil and still, like 
a transparent sheet of water or smooth and polished like a mirror. The 
description I have given of a library is only an image, the real thing is 
something different. However, you have in this way some idea to go upon. In the 
silent mind you form a point of consciousness and send it out as an emissary to 
gather the required information. This point of consciousness must be absolutely 
detached and free to go as it likes; for if it were in any way kept tied to the 
normal movements of your own mind, then you will not go further than what is in 
your head. You must be able to make your brain a blank, you must have no 
preconceived notion, no idea that the solution of your problem might lie in this 
way or that. As I say, your mind has to be a thoroughly blank page, a clean 
slate, with nothing written on it, no mark even. There should be instead a 
sincere aspiration to know the truth, without postulating beforehand what kind 
of truth it might be; otherwise you will meet your own formation in the brain.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> You can certainly test and 
correct the information you get from your inner voyage by outside information, 
what others have found or what is recorded in books. The inner knowledge need 
not and should not replace, the outer knowledge, but supplement it, both should 
support and complete each other. But there is a mixture about which you must be 
very careful. Your silent mind, your inner consciousness receives the necessary 
knowledge, but as you want to express it or translate in normal terms, that is 
to say, as your brain gets active again, it may and

<p class="para">often does supply its own 
materials and formations and the original knowledge gets disturbed and 
distorted. Sometimes what you may do is to dictate most passively the things you 
see or perceive and let another take down in writing as you proceed. You must 
say exactly as you see and the other write down exactly as he hears.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> It is the image of reading a book 
that I have given you. But it is, as I said, only an image. What it is really is 
a kind of perception. And the perception may be in the form of an image, it may 
be in the form of a narrative. At other times it may be a simple answer to a 
particular question. There are many kinds and varieties of record, differing 
according to the types or levels of consciousness that you go to.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para">
Naturally the process is not easy and available to everybody, as an 
ordinary book. It requires a special aptitude and a special discipline.
