The Body as Materialized Vibration by Paramhansa Yogananda
Scientific Healing Affirmations, 1924 Edition
The body is vibration materialized as the combination of solids, liquids and gases. Beneath the strata of flesh is the vibration of life current, present as fluid energy, and beneath it is the vibration of subtle human consciousness, which remains isolated through ignorance from the Cosmic Consciousness.
In Cosmic Consciousness, there is no change or death, whereas human consciousness is subject to change and limitation.
The process of freeing the mind is to train it by affirmations, concentration, Yogoda, etc., so that it can gradually turn its attention away from the grosser body vibrations and its attendant changes of death, disease, etc., and feel the subtler and more stable vibration of Life Energy and consciousness on to the Cosmic Consciousness where there is no consciousness of change, i. e., death, life, health, disease, etc., but where only one unchangeable consciousness of bliss reigns.
