etc., I am not able to type, so Buttercup the Benevolent is
typing for me as she has typed most of my books - typed
them well too, by the way, But do you know what sort of
questions I get? Admittedly you know about some of them,
but do you know about the questions which I do not nor-
mally answer? How would you, for example; answer this
Question. Tell us about such things as casting shadow
through standing in sunlight? Question. Is there really such
a thing as distance and is the globe really spheroid? Ques-
tion. What is the meaning of right this and right that? Does
that mean one should eat only with the right hand?
That last question is quite sensible, you know. You might
think that some sort of nut or kook sent it in, but if you think
96
about it seriously there is a lot of sense to it. What is the
meaning of right this and right that? Well, we know all
about doing things the right way and avoiding wrong, we
know it is right to do good instead of to do wrong, but do
you know that our hands have polarity? One hand is pos-
itive and one hand is negative. If you read back a few para-
graphs to where we dealt with palms you will see that the
left hands deals with the abstract, that is, things before we
came to this Earth, how we planned things, whereas the
right hand is the practical hand, the hand which says how
far we have achieved our objectives.
In the same way some of the Arabs of a few years ago had
a very definite ruling about hands. The left hand was known
as the dirty hand , and that hand could be used only for
dirty tasks such as dealing with certain aspects of one's toilet,
but the right hand was the clean hand, and one could only
use the right hand when dealing with food. All foodstuff was
touched with the right hand although one could pick up a
cup or a glass with the left hand. It would be quite interest-
ing to investigate the matter further and see how much
difference it made to one's digestion when one touched food
with the right hand only, and then, perhaps a month later,
touch food with the left hand only.
The right hand is the correct hand for holding a dagger or
sword, or shaking hands with a person. In the old days
people used to carry a knife or dagger in the right hand as a
means of warding off attackers, so when they met a friend
they would extend the right hand to show that they had no
knife hidden, to show that they came in friendship. And so
we had the start of the custom of shaking hands shake a
person's hand and you can see that he is not holding a knife
against his palm with his thumb, and if he has any weapons
concealed in his sleeve well, shake them out.
From the same source there is another question. It is:
How does the Silver Cord connect the physical, and the
Overself, and the astral at the same time?
The Silver Cord, like everything else, is a vibration, which
97
means that it is also a source of energy. The Cord does not
necessarily have to go to just one other object, that is, it is
not limited to connecting body and soul together. Exten-
sions can be taken from it in just the same way as you can
have extensions taken from your telephone. If you have a
telephone in your living room, then it's no great difficulty to
have an extension to your bedroom.
It is ordinary common sense to realize that the Overself is
the source of each person's energy, the source of each
person's being, and the Overself, you can say, has each
human on a leash. So just as you can have a dog on a leash,
or you can have ten dogs all on leashes, so you can have an
Overself connected to an astral and to a physical body.
There is really nothing to answer in that question except to
say that if you have a dog, let us say a big dog, at the end of a
leash it is quite easy to connect a small dog to the leash of the
big dog and that would correspond to the Overself, the
astral, and the physical.
Through writing books I have come into contact with
some perfectly horrible people, some real kooks who might
well be classed as mental home drop-outs. They are in the
great minority, but I have also come into contact with some
remarkably nice people. For example, there are two very
nice ladies in British Columbia, Miss and Mrs. Newman;
they are truly trying to make a success of life and I consider
that they are achieving success. They have sent some ques-
tions and here in this chapter I am going to reply to just one
of the questions for the special reason that it fits in so well.
So here is an answer to a specific question from Miss and
Mrs. Newman. The question is, Will you please explain
homosexuality in much the same way as you explained a1-
coholics in Beyond the Tenth ?
Our Overself, as I have explained, is getting experience on
Earth. The Overself itself is too big, too powerful and too
high-vibrating to come to Earth, and so it has to employ
those lumps of protoplasm which we in our ignorance think
is the highest form of existence anywhere. We humans are
98
just hunks of meat supported on a bony framework and pro-
pelled around by grace of the Overself, but inevitably hitch-
ups occur.
