Whatever events are attracted into your life are the product of thought-cell activities directed by their desires and the facilities afforded by your environment.
This indicates that there are three ways by which, if proper action is taken before hand, the probable event can be changed, even as Nature applies the same three methods in determining the event that more commonly occurs.
They are to change the intensity of your thought-cell activity; change the desires of your thought-cells, or change the facilities afforded by your environment for the anticipated event.
Increasing thought-cell activity
If your thought-cell activity is made greater, the probability of some event of consequence being attracted is greater, and if it’s diminished the probability is that the event attracted will be less important.
And as the intensity of the thought-cell activity involved in attracting an event depends upon the volume of energy it acquires, there are three ways by which your thought-cell activity mapped by a progressed aspect can be increased and the event bearing the characteristics of the planets involved made more important than it otherwise would be.
Close association with names, numbers, tones, colors and objects ruled by a planet, by its zodiacal sign, or by the zodiacal sign it occupies in your chart, permits the astral vibrations of these things to reach and energize, through the principle of resonance, the thought-cells of similar vibratory rate mapped by this planet and these signs in your finer-astral-body.
If the thought-cells are harmonious, this is an advantage, as it will enable them to increase the importance of the favorable event attracted. But if the thought-cells, as indicated by your birth chart and progressed aspects are discordant, such associations will enable them to attract an unfortunate event of greater importance.
As thought-cells are built and given power to act by thoughts charged with feeling, the activity of a thought-cell group mapped by any planet can be pronouncedly increased by thoughts and emotions characteristic of the planet.
And the thought-cells mapped by any house of your birth chart can be given greater activity by thoughts and emotions associated with the department of life that house maps.
Thought-cells become more active by progressed aspects and the activity of those mapped by a planet involved in a progressed aspect can be increased by tuning in on its energies through intense feeling.
Furthermore, if the intense feeling is maintained, it keeps you so completely tuned to the specific wavelengths of this one planet, that the wavelengths of other planets are not strong enough to make their influence felt.
So, by tuning your nervous system, through intense feeling of a selected type, to pick up radio fashion the selected planetary energy and its harmony or discord, you can, so long as you maintain the proper mood, feed all the thought-cells reached by progressed aspects at the time and to a much lesser degree those reached by birth chart aspects its energy.
And while all the thought-cells receive the dominant planetary energy, those not ruled by the planet are less able to express their own desires and their own type of energy.
Changing thought-cell desires using conversion or mental antidotes
While the importance of the event is pronouncedly influenced by the degree of thought-cell activity the fortune or misfortune of the event, and its specific nature, are largely determined by the desires of the active thought-cells.
The thought-elements of which a group of thought-cells are composed are not of one planetary family. The aspects a planet forms indicate that other thought-elements have entered its composition in a minor degree. But they are predominately of the planetary family of the planet mapping them, and associated strongly with the departments of life mapped by the houses this planet rules.
Their desires in general, and where these departments of life are concerned in particular, are due to their experiences in the past.
These desires are temporarily given a more harmonious or more discordant trend by the harmony or discord of any progressed aspect whose energy reaches them. But in spite of the discordant quality of the progressed energy, if their fundamental desires are powerfully harmonious, the events they work for will be more fortunate than otherwise.
As the feeling of pleasure or pain at the time these thought-cells were formed is entirely responsible for their desires before they are given unusual activity through the energy fed into them by a progressed aspect, their desires can be altered in the direction of harmony by adding pleasant feeling energy to them in as much intensity and volume as possible.
This process does not add thought-elements of a different planetary family to the thought-cells, but it does rearrange in a more harmonious compound the thought-elements of which they are already composed.
Conversion
Conversion of a thought-compound so that the thought-cells embracing it will work as desired is known as the sublimation of unruly desires.
The first step is to recognize both the destructive and the constructive thoughts that belong to the thought-elements within the compound to be converted. For instance, if Saturn is involved in the anticipated progressed aspect, it should be recognized that the Saturn thought-cells may influence thoughts of fear, greed, selfishness and worry, or they may influence thoughts of comparison, system, order and persistence.
Then whenever thoughts of fear, greed, selfishness or worry start to enter your mind, they should be immediately displaced with thoughts of comparison, system, order and persistence.
Through associating these constructive thoughts ruled by Saturn, and especially as these affect the departments of life ruled by the houses Saturn influences, with as many other constructive desires and pleasant thoughts as possible, it is not too difficult to learn to take pleasure in thoughts and actions which benefit others as well as oneself in which comparison, system, order and persistence are employed.
Through this process of conversion not only are the desires of the thought-cells conditioned to be more fortunate, but while the process is being applied as well as after the conversion has been accomplished, the energy of the thought-cells thus diverted into constructive activities is used up sufficiently that much less is left for them with which to work to bring unfortunate events into your life.
Mental antidotes
The third way of changing thought-cell desires is through the use of mental antidotes. When two planets which are mental antidotes do not heavily afflict each other in your birth chart, it is usually easier to substitute thoughts and feelings ruled by the antidote planet, than to think constructive thoughts and have constructive feelings ruled by the planet whose thought-cells are to be made more harmonious.
When thinking and experiences of the nature of the antidote are substituted for the old type of habitual thinking and feeling, there is apt to be less resistance to developing pleasant thoughts.
If Saturn is heavily afflicted at birth, for instance, it may be difficult to think of the department of life it rules in terms of comparison, system, order and persistence without at the same time thinking of the distress which has been experienced in the past relative to the events and conditions of this department of life.
It may be easier, and more effective in harmoniously reconditioning the Saturn thought-cells, to substitute the thoughts of fear, greed, selfishness and worry, with their mental antidote, constructive thoughts and feelings ruled by Venus, which embrace affection, friendship, appreciation of beauty and mirth.
The Sun needs no mental antidote, and any constructive, harmonious thoughts of the other planetary families added to its thought-cells are beneficial to them.
The thoughts influenced by the Moon and Pluto and those influenced by Mars are the mental antidotes of each other.
The thoughts influenced by Mercury and Uranus and those influenced by Jupiter are the mental antidotes of each other.
And the thoughts influenced by Venus and Neptune and those influenced by Saturn are the mental antidotes of each other.
In applying mental antidotes, as in conversion, constructive thoughts and feelings ruled by the mental antidote should be used. And they should be substituted, as well as at other times, whenever thoughts arise of the planetary family to be reconditioned, and whenever there are thoughts about the departments of life which this planet rules, or which is apt to be affected by its progressed aspects.
The most important factor in their application is to give these substituting thoughts as high a harmonious emotional content as possible. And at the start to make them highly pleasurable it may be necessary to associate them with as many other pleasant desires as you can. While artificially conditioned in the beginning by association, in not too long a time these new thoughts will develop a highly pleasant content of their own.
Changing environmental facilities
You won’t be injured by a firearm unless a gun is present and you won’t gain favors from friends if you remain aloof from people. Physical events are dependent upon given facilities in your environment and each planet makes use of the environmental factors ruled by it in bringing an event to pass.
If the event made probable by a progressed aspect tends to be unfortunate, the environmental factors ruled by the planets involved in the progressed aspect should be avoided as much as practical, and particular care should be used when their presence in your life is unavoidable.
And if the probable event is a misfortune its department of life should be avoided as much as possible and the thoughts and efforts directed toward some harmonious department of life at the time.
But if the event indicated is favorable, exceptional effort should be put forth to associate with the things mapped by the house ruling the probable event.
