SERIES I
The Soul is the Divine Breath, it purifies, revivifies and heals the instrument, through which it functions, (The Soul Whence and Wither). This is the central point of life.
(Concentrate every day a few minutes on it).
All diseases are created in the mind, before they come into the body. The Soul constantly heals mind and body.
All illness, pain and discomfort is unnatural.
Disease is lack of life.
The trouble is caused by lack of rhythm.
If you are out of rhythm and tired, --- relax!
If you find difficulty in relaxing, try and relax your eyelids. It will make the relaxing of your body easy.
For relaxing: breathe 11 (eleven) times rhythmically, saying mentally, when inhaling: "Ya Shafi," and when exhaling: "Ya Kafi."
One must do this relaxing exercise very resolutely. Do this every time you feel yourself out of rhythm. One can also do this for another, by thinking of him/her.

O Thou, who art the Perfection of Love, Harmony and Beauty,
The Lord of Heaven and earth, open our hearts, that we may hear Thy Voice, which constantly cometh from within;
Disclose to us Thy Divine Light, which is hidden in our souls, that we may know and understand life better;
Most Merciful and Compassionate God, give us Thy great Goodness;
Teach us Thy loving forgiveness,
Raise us above the distinctions and differences which divide men;
Send us the peace of Thy Divine Spirit,
And unite us all in Thy Perfect Being. Amen.

Beloved Lord, Almighty God!
Through the rays of the Sun,
Through the waves of the air,
Through the all-pervading Life in space,
Purify and revivify me, and I pray,
Heal my body, heart, and soul.
Amen
