ISHTAR ENERGY TO BECOME A "SUPER BEINGI"

the only way she could lose weight. All of our self inflicted trouble
(and that amounts to about 98% of it comes from a lack of
cooperation between the thinking, emotional and spiritual parts of
our beingness. We might borrow an expression from the "younger
generation" and say, you can be a super being simply by "getting
it all together."
For the experimental class which preceeded this book I ex-
plained it this way: Upstairs I have a micro-computer system
which includes a card reader, line printer and all the goodies. In
order to get the card reader to talk intelligently with the rest of the
system, there must be a control character in the first field of On
card. If the reader gets a card with some other character or a blank
in the control field, the computer will throw up its hands and run
screaming from the room in utter confusion. So, always before I
put a deck of cards in the hopper, I hold them up to the light to bn
sure I can see the control character punched in all the cards-- if I
see light through the expected holes, all is well, otherwise I must
get rid of the error card to avoid throwing the computer into chaos.
And it is quite the same with a human being—if all parts of year
beingness are not aligned in cooperation so you can "see the
Light," to act is to create chaos and confusion in your life.
Both the Huna of Hawaii and the Theosophy of the well
known Madame Blavatsky provide a useful concept of a mul-
tiplicity of selves or bodies which go to make up the wholeness of it
single individual, but they also give us the same trap of putting
the mental self or body higher on the scale of effectiveness or con.
trol than the emotional self or body. In both cases we are working
(at the practical level) with four forms of beingness, the physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual self or body. But let's avoid the
trap and state simply that the physical body is controlled by the
mental body which is controlled by the emotional body; which in
turn is controlled by the casual or spiritual body (called in Hunn
the "high self'). You can reach the "super being" level of effec'
tiveness only when you have the four bodies lined up in the right
order, even as I have to see the Light through the control character'
punches in my computer cards.
The Light-through-the-cards analogy has much to teach us
about "getting it all together." Picture the source of Light as
directly above your spiritual body (or high self), but in order to
reach and affect the material world in your behalf, it must flow
down through your emotional body, then from your emotional
