In beginning wot·k on stwh a periodical as The Biological

is evident that the whole range of knowledge possible to tho
human mind belongs legitimately to The Biological Jonmal.

USEFUL INSTRUCTIONS.
.
Jn 1887 we began a course of instructions cnlled "Practical
Instructions for Reaching the Highest Goal of Human Attainment,"
which was given under circumstances not altogeth~r
favorable, as we had then just begun our public work; and,
moreover, we think that experience since that time has enabled
us to make important additions to such a line of instruction.
These facts may be an excuse, if one be necessary, for once
more claiming the attention of the public in reference to these
11uhjects. Again, the people have been thinking on the suhject
. for the thirteen years since our former instructions were given,
and are, consequently, better prepared to make u11efnl what we
may say in the course we are now beginning; we hope, therefore,
to accomplish a broader purpose than that which ha.!'1 already
been served. :Much that we have tanght in the past ha.!'1 beMme

Two thousand yearci ago our solar system entered the sign
Pisces, and the distinctive function of the Pisces nature, that
of laying a solid foundation, ultimated its work for our planet.
Of that foundation it is said, "Other foundation cnn no mau
lay than i11 laid"; for, indeed, when we go deeply into cause aucl
effect, every superstructure moat rest upon its own legitimate
foundation, and in this Pisces age of the world'M hi11tory, wa1

A GREETING FROM BOSTON.
Hoston rejoices over the advent of a journal clevotecl to
Solar Biology. The modern Athens appreciates thought that
seems new, and is quickly the schoolmaster to teach others it.s
real value. It is not that she knows it all: there is so mnch of
the true stndent in this modern teacher that she is willing to
appropriate what she cannot originate.
Along the line of Solar Biological thought there are comparatively
few who have given sufficient consecutive study to
feel at hom& regarding its practical teachings. Nearly all of ns
are busy in the prosecution of some special calling that becomes
our special world in which we "live, and move and have our
being."
But an observation extending over nearly ten years haR convincecl
the writer of the intense value, from many dilfere11t
standpoints, of this science that has come down to us from the
distant past, in unfolding the actual proclivities of the hnnumity
all about us; and is there any maxim more impo1·tant than
this: "Know thyself?"
Surely the language of the heavens needs but true interpre.
tation to become of the most intense value to those 11tude11ts
who are now just entering upon the duties and privileges of
their earthly lives.
While neither Ilarvartl nor Yale has as yet any professor-
11hip covering this science, it is inevitable that, if the great
truths made so clearly manifest through a knowledge of Solar
Biology become known to a sufficient number of influential
minds, there surely will he ere the twentieth century is far
advanced.

The Swedish maiden looked out upon the world at birth
when the earth and moon were each in the sign Libra, aud
Saturn also was in the same sign. What a trinity of p11ychic
and intuitive sight did she thus have! Nature gifted her with
a balancing harmony at the very threshold of her hnman life.
Her own selfhood was thereby established. The nobility of
tmnjugality was made clear. Her interior nature was madt> to
voice the practical and genuine. She sat at the feet of Wisclom.
'When we next note that the planet Uranus was in the sign
Gemini, we ea!!ily comprehend how her intuitive nature wn11

REINOARNATION.
Among the doctrines brought to us from the 1'~ast, there is
none more difficult to prove than that of reincarnation; yet,
with the Orientalist.A, we believe in this doctrine, for we can 11ee
no other method hy which the object of creation can be accmuplished.
Should we premise for a moment that the real mau,
the soul, is a 11eparate creation at the time of birth, that all
that is to be obtained by an individual can be obtained in a
11i11gle life, and that one life is all-su~cient to m•ke man immortal,
tben what shall we conclude ooncerning thoae who were
born many centuries ago, Ol' thoae who were born under the
most unfortunate circnmstancea at any period of the world's history,
and have paased out of the body without obtaining any degree
of intelligence or development worthy the estate of man.
They were not to blame for this, and we cannot believe that they
are assigned eternally to that low state of mental development and
consciousne11s. Neither can we, with any degree of consistency,
believe that snob souls are taken aa babea, mentally and spiritually,
into the spirit world, and there developed to the state
attained by their brethren under more favorable circnmstancea.
We cannot believe this, because it is not in harmony with the

unfoldment,-why do they have such clear and unmistakable
recollections u babes, when such a tbiog is unknown in the
Chri11tisn world'?" To my mind, this question can be answered
from.the law of miud. An old adage, found in the Scriptnrea,
is, "A.a a man thinketh, so is he," as a naau believes without a
doubt, so it is to him. Experiments in psychology have shown
that a person may be put under the influence of another miud,
and that if, when under that influence, certain thoughts aml
ideas are impressed upon him with the command that they reappear,
take form, in his physical oonsciousueea, these thoughts
will take form in, and beoome the oooaoiouaneM of the inlli·
vidual. This, to my mind, proves that the auto-suggestion• of
a religious belief continually impreued upon the mind of a
Lama during bis lifetime, will be remembereii hy him in the
early part of bis reinoarnation.
Another evidence of the influence of the mind upon the fu.
ture existence of an individual, ia the reappearance of the soul
after the dissolution of the body, often oausiog what iii known
as haunted houses. To make this thought cle1t.r, we will relate
an experience of some years ago. While in Philadelphia I
visited the home of a friend, whose husband waa wholly opposed
to the idea of spiritual manifestation. They had lived
iu the house hut a short time. During my visit I waK informed
that there bad been strange ooourrences at night: after retiring
they often beard some one coming do*u the third-story
stairs, and wander about from one room to another, apparently •
in aearch of some one. They had been keeping a light buruiug
at night, for they frequently heard a loud knock upon th8
headboard of their beJ. The night before my visit. upon hear·

1900.] REINCARNATION. 2fi
scious int.elligen

26 THE BIOLOGICAL JOUllNAL. [Sept.
was the case of a woman lying on her death-bed, po88e18ed by
one idea,-that of wanting to see a certain person. This
thought, all-absorbing before death, occupied and bound the
soul after the diuolntion of the body. We have had mauy
evidenoes of the influence of an unquestioned belief upon the
soul. While this may not be the expre88ion of an inevitable
law of reincarnation,-in other words, while it may argue that
reincarnation may be brought about by belief and not by a
general law,-yet we think there is nothing in the human soul
superior to law, and that it cannot act independently of it. If the
mind can be so impressed with an error aa t.o oause the soul to
follow out that error after the di880lntion of the body, then
there must be a law which enables it t.o do so; and as error
cannot be immortal, but must of neceuity be of short duration,
light always dispelling darkness, therefore in the dispelling
of the error, the law remains and the truth is revealed.
So then the Buddhist Lama who believes that he will reincarnate
immediately after the death of the body, only aootilerates
the operation of a law which must continue to be a law
in all life. Thus one who believes in reincarnation, may obtain
immediate incarnation, while he who diabelieves may long
delay the effectual working of the law, and does di88ipate the
memories of a former life. But the law will accomplish its
work, and reincarnation will take place.

INVISIBLE STARS.
Gazing one night into the spangled vau)t above, having
been attracted by the unusual briUianey of the stan, I f eU to
musing.
Astronomers tell us that they have discovered here and
there in the heavens a dark star, one that gives no light; and
as one after another of theee stars it discovered, the thought
is impressing itself upon the minds of some of us, that possibly
there are more stars that do not shine than stars that do; that
of the myriads of orbs above us, we probably do not see the
half. And as I pondered an InteJligence seemed to speak to me
tbus:-
.. y ou wonder if yon heavens are filled with stars which you
cannot see; rather wonder at your ignorance in supposing the
whole universe palpable to your senses. You know that the
presence of light is communicated to your consciouAness
by mean!\ of its vibrations, and that degree of intensity
and color are determined by the frequency and amplitude
of those vibrations, which reach your consciousness through
the medium of the optic nerve; now, imagine a person by
your side of much lower development than yourself, one
whose optic nerve can transmit to his brain only vibrations
of much less frequency than are those transmitted by your own,
so that the highest vibration that he is able to cognize, is lowe1·
than the lowest which you perceive. Can you not see that all
those shining orbs upon which you gaze would be invisible to
him, and that thOBe bodies dal'k to you, but whose rate of
vibration comes within range of the capacity of his optic
nene, would to him shine out with the same splendor as do
these to you?

28 BIOLOGICAL JOURNAJ,. [Sept.
And, indeed, who can limit the wonders of the universe? May
there not be, in yonder vastness, worlds of such refinementattained,
perhaps, through countless ages of growth-that the
vibrations emanating from them are of such frequency that
your organ of vision fails to respond? If so, then one by your
side, whose degree of development corresponded to that of
those glowing orbs, would perceive them, although they nre
utterly invisible t.o you-and, moreover, you would be invisible
t.o him, and he t.o you.
Who shall say that what you call the material universe, has
not its counterpartal orbs and intelligences of such refinement
as to be imperceptible to the denizens of your earth,-save,
perhaps but faintly, to the most highly refined? and that
there is not another universe still more refined, not cognizable
even t.o the few, and another and yet another, on, on, until "all
space is filled and interfilled," universe within universe, with
their myriads of myriads of intelligences of every degree ot
refinement, development, and power,-souls of men, cberubii,
seraphs, llllgels and archangels, realm beyond realm, all utterly
beyond our ken?
And what are those beings who, appearing and disappearing,
flit before the mind's eye? You call them figures of the
imagination; may they not be inhabitants of invisible spheres?
And these thoughts that come from, you know not where,
may they not be the voices of these strange visit.ors?"
Then the communicating Intelligence became silent, and I
was left alone with my musings.

SOLAR BIOLOGY.
CORRECTION OF 'fHE LIIH8 OF THE ZODIAC.
'·
In the appendix to the late editions of Solar Biology we give
the new lines of division between the zodiacal sign1. Unlike
other.things that we see in natnre, the two zodiacs, though
entirely distinct each from the other, are, 10 far as we can discover,
exactly alike-as if one was the impress of the other.
This is trne in regard to the peculiarities of the degrees of
the signs and of the dividing lines between the 1igns. While
we have been able to discern many things relative to the zodiacal
changes, yet we find so many causes for these

with this discovery, we shall, before presenting it, wait until
1mme degree of certainty is reached. Of one point, however,
we are comparatively certain, which is, that the two or two
and one-half last degrees of Cancer are the most malignant, disturbing
and perversive of all the degrees of the zodiac.
It must be understood that a science so broad and so farreiwhing
will probably never be perfect; although the de\·elopment
of the human mind may continue for thousands of
years, yet there will always be much to learn and investigate
concerning this science. We, therefore, bring these suggestions
before our readers for examination, and we solicit their aid in
adding to the general store of knowledge.
THE RISING !UGNS.
FORM OF BODY AND QUALITIES PRODUCBD BY THE RISING SIGN.
In attempting this subject we mainly desire to call forth th"
observations of the many students of Solar Biology and Astrology
in reference to the influence of the rising sigus. As to
our own observations, although we have investigated the mat.
ter for several years, yet we find many exceptions to the rules
that we are about to give; and, moreover, as we have not had
as good an opportunity of observing the effect of the rising
sign as have many of our friends, we give the result of our
investigation as merely a suggestion, at the same time asking
those who are interested in and have been studying along thesa
lines to give us their experiences. We will in this way be
&reatly assisted in bringing an important science to some degree
of perfection.
We have reason to believe that the rising sign influences the
body as to size and form, strength or weakness, and the mentality
arising through the physical senses. The mentality,

however, seems only in a certain degree to be strengthened or
weakened by the effect of the rising sign.
Before proceeding further whb our subject, we will state
that our experience has been that. the influence of a sign is
very weak when it fint rises and gains in strength until the
rising of the succeeding sign. The student will do well to note
here what has been said in the appendix to Solar Biology concerning
the new lines,-linea marking the overlapping of the
signs in question. The facts referred to, however, do not do
away with the rule that a 1ign gradually gains in 1trength
until the succeeding 1ign really ri1es. When the new line
occurs, the strength of the prevailing sign is still further increased
by the qualities of the approaching sign.
We have also noticed that the innate nature bas a market!

if Leo is the innate nature, it will to a

able to decille whether the body is inclined to be tall or short;
it is always rather stout, however, with a thick neck, full,
round face, usually of a light complexion. This sign also
gives mental endurance; a love of mental gymnastics, but not
of hard, physfoal labor. It will be found that, among the leadiug
men of the world, Taurus predominates as a body sign.
It gives a good appetite, love of rich food and plenty of it, and
also an inclination to bibativeness. Because if its great endurance,
it adds power to all the innate qualities.
GElllNI RISING produces a. body of medium size, frequently
a little below the average; rather square shoulders, and a pecu·
liar form that gives an impression of corpulence, which, however,
is not common to the sign. It causes a nervous restlessness
in the organism, and, in a special manner, brings into
play the bands and arms. We know less about this sign than
any other, as we are acquainted with but few persons having n.
Gemini body.
CANCF.R RISING gives a body of medium height, slender,
lithe and willowy, but usually rather weak. It imparts a catlike
motion in walking. Persons having a Cancer body nsually
have Randy or light complexions; are inclined to wear a fnll
bearcl; disinclined to physical labor; the mental abilitieR more
of an inRpirational and intuitive than of an edncational natun\

they are persistent.
Vumo RISING gives a rather short, plump body. when in
health, but militates against digestion. Penons with a Virgo
body are inclined to be nervous and critical, especially when
the digeRtive syst.em is out of order, in which case.the body is
thin and weak. Their mentality is 1·atber jerky in action, and
lacks steady, logical coherence. Unless their morality is strong,
they are inclined to trickiness and falsehood. They are very
sensitive to conditions and very much influenced by external
appenranees.

EDITORIAL.
In launching a magazine of 80 unique a character upon the
world, the Grat number must necessarily be imperfect, from
the fact that, until they see what the nature of the Journal is
to be, but a limited number of our friends and students will
send us oontributions. However, we think that we can promise
our readers that the coming i88ues will oontain articles from
students of all branches of thought. We take this occasion to
say that we hope the friends of the work will contribute their
thought and the result of their investigations for the benefit of
their fellow students. The "Crank Department" does not ap·
pear in this number. It is 80 called because what is prellented
therein may seem very peculiar to the ordinary mind; bnt no
matter how strange or peculiar some of the ideas way seem,
they all have their place of use in the world of thought; anti
the building of our knowledge can never be complete without
peculiar ideas. We are told that, when Solomon built bill
temple, there was one stone for which no one could find a use;
it was ill-shaped and there seemed to be no place for it, and it
was, consequently, thrown aai

an understanding with those who have applied for delineations
in The Eeoteric that their applications would be 6lled in the
columns of this Journal. It will give us pleasure to publish
these delineations, bnt we muet request that all each appliCfttione
be sent in anew, as, for several reasons, it would be very
inconvenient to use those submitt.ed to the editor of The Esoteric.
In eome instances, the applications in question were made
more than a year ago, and the applicant& are no longer among our
eubecribere. We wish to emphasize the fJt that the necessary
data for a complete delineation are, the year, day of the month,
hour, place of birth, and sex. Without the hour, we may approximate
a delineation, hut it mnst necessarily be im~l'fect;
for we must know the hour in order to ascertain the rising sign,
and, frequently, the exact position of the moon, which is often
near the line of division between two signs. Therefore those
who wi11h delineations should carefully state sex, year, day of
the month, and, if possible, the hour and minute. We will not
attempt to give a delineation unless we have at least the date
and place of birth. If any special point& are desired in t11e
delineation, the applicant shoul

or that of two or three persons, but it should express the thoughts
of the best thinkers throughout the field of its circulation. We
repeat, therefore, that we want the help of our friends. We
wish our readers to feel that this is their Journal as well as
ours, and that in a great measure it devolves upon their efforts
to make it a leading magazine of the age. Therefore, those who
are interested in the work, should a.qk tbem11elve11 what they can
do to insure itll succe11s. If they are not able to write themselves,
perhapR they know of some one who can, or, perhapR, in
their reading, they have found some interesting and rare extract
that will be useful to the people. While we solicit the aid of
our friends, they muRt bear in mind that this work is largoly
philanthropic, and aid must be given for love of tho work.
Our department for delineations is intended for th~ aclvancoment
of knowledge concerning the science of Solar Biolog_v; it
is our desire to eliminate all errors from this science an1l to incorporate
into it a.s many additional facts as can be obtainccl.
In thi11 our friends can aid us not only by sending us disC'OvP.rit>s
they have made in the study of human nature, but thos~ who
receive delineations through these columns can favor us with a
criticism, pointing out the truths and errors therein contained,
and, at the same time, stating their certainty or uncertainty as
to the date and hour of their birth. It mm1t be borne in mind
that Solar Biology delineate11 the innate character and does not
take into consideration what may have been accomplished by
culture or environment-a fant which must be considered in
making the criticisms referred to. Experience bas led us to believe
that few people have a correct idea of their real natures,
because the conditions of life and surroundings have so modified
the innate qualities. When criticism is to be made in regard
to a chn.racter 11ketch, we wish the 11tndent to state in what

To the formea· sub11Cribers of The Esoteric we wish to announce
that we will fill the unexpired term of their subscriptions
with The Occult and Biological Journal, as it has been decided
permanently to suspend the publication of The Esoteric.

and, consequently, most sacred and divine, for all truth is of
God. The S)'mbol of the sign of the month is seen upon the
altar in the temple. God in bis work of creation uses the qualities
of these signs in the formation of all life, thought, and
material substance; we, therefore, deem it fitting that the image
or symbol should appear in the inner sanctuary. We have
endeavored to secure the best material in the market for the
Journal, and have tried, in so far as our facilities permit, to
make it a work of genuine art, and one worthy of the attention
of the best minds of the day.
We desire to express our deep appreciation of the consideration
shown by our many subecribers who so patiently wa.ite1l
upon Ull during the time that our publication was suspended.
Also to our many exchanges, we extend our sincere thanks for
their regular visits, notwithstanding the fact that we could not
return the courtesy. Such kindness does much to bring into
harmony of sympathy and purpose those who are growing responsive
to the truths of a coming century. We trust that all
those who are striving to introduce into the world a higher
order of life and thought may be prospered in their particular
lines of service, whether they may be called upon to work
in the comparative retirement of social or business life, or
whether they be among those who are guiding the public mind
through the medium of the various new-thought publications.
Many of the friends of the Esoteric work are desiring to
know something of the Esoteric Fraternity. We would say that
the Fraternity bas not changed its course, but is moving on
quietly, and that we are now prepared to accept as members
such as are ready to dedicate their lives to God and the work.

SOLAR BIOLOGY:
A New Scientific, Exact and Easy Method of Delineating Character;
Diagnosing Disease; Determining Mental, Physical and Business
Qualifications, Conjugal Adaptability, etc.,
from Date of Birth.
BY H. E. BUTLER.
Ulustrated with Seven Plate Diagrams and Tables of the Moon and Planets,
from 1820 to 1900.
Thi11 science proves that "all are mPmber11 of One Body (1 Cor. XII
12-27); and that, as 1111ch, each one bas his pecmliar function in life. It
throws a flood of new light upon the problems of life, furni11hing the groundwork,
or scientific law, which goes down into the miuutiro of the life of eve1·y
man and woman, as a mirror reflecting his or her innate nature. This work tells
what is in man and how derived. Tells how to cultivate 11elf and make the
most and he11t of life. Tells one, when a child is born, whRt kind of trRining
it should have, to what disea11es it is liahle. how to avoid or how to cure
when alr(>ady developed. Reveals the Jlart of the g1·a11cl lHHly to which E>ach
individual belongs, and the co1U1equent mental tendencies, physical fitness,
natural sphere, and highe11t and fittest u11e in the worM.
It enables parents to know just what business their childrPn are best
adapted for, and how to educate them, and is also a guide to all persons in
the preservation of health and strength, and an important aid to success and
to the attainment of the great object in life, viz., usefulness and happiness.
It also aids in prolonging the life of old and young. It is of especial importance
to physicians, enabling them to attain great success through having
in their pos11ession a certain key to knowledge conoorning the nature and
peculiarities of their patients such as heretofore has been available only to
those few that were of rare intuitive discernment.

The aim of The Occult and Biological Journal is two fold: first, it endeavors to unveil
to the student the mysteries of the higher truths for which the W eetern mind
is now seeking in the mysticism of the past and in Oriental religions; shows the correlation
of the doctrines of the Orient and those of the Christian religion, and uses
the wisdom of the past to throw new light on Biblical text; and, secondly, to those
whose desire is individual unfoldment, it gives a special course of instructions; presents
methods for increasing the arnount of life in the organism, for its conservation
and control, thus insuring the magnetic powea· so necessary to success in all directions.
It studies the biology of the universe. Investigates the laws of life, tracing
the col11'8& of ita unfoldment from its origin until it reaches the perfection of the
human organism. Calls attention to its· uses and abuses. Its presentation of the
e1mteric sciences is concise and clear, always emphasizing their practical value.
Although it would seem that the number of m:w-thought publications now before
the people must certainly be greater than the demand, yet we feel that no apology is
necessary in offering the public a journal which we believe po:1sesses exceptional
facilities for presenting line!! of thought heretofore neglectecl. ancl which the people
now demand for practical use.

THE SOUL.
There ia nothing of greater importance t.o any clua of real
thinkers than a knowledge of self, and that knowledge ia far
from being a knowledge of one's own body, its appetite&, pusiona,
and all its external manifestations. The important
knowledge ia that which pertains t.o the real self, or that which
lies at the very base or root of an individualized, oonaoious
entity. For by a correct understanding, knowledge, of this
subject, the mind is enabled t.o dwell in vital thought, which is
eternal; in it ia immortality and without it we only voice the
thought of all the great teachers of the world.
In The Gotpel of Buddha (Chap. Liii.), arranged by Dr. Paul
CantB, a most interesting interview is recorded between a leading
Brahman of his day and Buddha, extracts from whfoh we
he.re quote:-
"Thy heart, 0 Brahman, is cleaving still to self; thou art anxious
about heaven but thou seekest the pleasures of self in
heaven, and thus thou canst not see the bli88 of truth and the
immortality of truth.

"Verily 1 say unto you: The Blessed One baa not come to
teach death, but to teach life, and thou dost not discern the
nature of living and dying.
"This body will be dissolved and no amount of sacrifice will
save it. Therefore, seek thou the life that is of mind. Where
self is, truth cannot be; yet when truth comes, self will .disap·
pear. Therefore, let thy mind re.st in the truth; propagate the
truth, put thy whole soul in it, and let it spread. In the truth
thou shalt live f1•rever.
"Self is death and trttth is life.
The cleaving to self is a
perpetual dying, while moving in the truth is partaking of

ask again: Tell me, 0 Lord, if there he no atman, how can
there be immortality? The activity of the mind passeth, and

Buddha replied: "0nr thinking is gone, but our thoughts

The Blessed One explained the distinction by an illustration:
"It iR as when a man wants, during the night, to 11end a letter,

Said the Blessed One: "Suppose a man were to light a lamp;
would it burn the night through?"
"Yes, it might do so," was the reply.
"Now, is it the same flame that burns in the first watch of
the night as in the second?"
Kutadanta hesitated. He thought "yes, it is the same flame,"
but fearing the complications of a bidden meaning, and trying
to be exact, be said: "No, it is not."
"Then," continued the Blessed One, "there are two flames,
one in the first watch and the other in the second watch." ·
"No, sir," said Kutadanta. "In one sense it is not the same
flame, hut in another sense it is the same flame. It burns of
the 11ame kind of material, it emits the same kind of light, and
it serves the same purpose."
"Very well," said Buddha, "and would you call those flames
the Mame that have burned yesterday and are burning now in
the same lamp, filled with the same kind of oil, illuminating
the R&me room?''
"They may have heen extinguished during the clay,' sugge11terl

Said the Blessed One: "Suppose the flame of the llret watch
bad heen extinguished during the second watch, would you call
it the same if it burns again in the third watch'?"
Replied Kutadanta: "ln one sense it is a different flame, in
another it is not."
The Tathagata asked again: " Has the time that bas elapsed
during the extinction of the flame anything to do with its identity
or non-identity?"
"No, sir," said the Brllhman, "it has not. There is a differ­

·'Yea, air," replied Kutadanta.
The Blessed One continued: "Now, suppose there is a man
who feels like you, thinks like you, and act.a like you, is he not
the 8&Dle man as you?"
"No, sir," int.errupted Kutadanta.
Said Buddha: "Doet thou deny that the same logic holds
good for thyself that holds good for the things of the world?"
Kutadanta bethought himself and rejoined slowly: "No. I do
not. The same logic bolds good univenally; but there is a peculiarity
about my self which renden it altogether different
from everything else and also from other selves. There may
be another man who feels exactly like me, thinks like me, and
acts like me; suppose even he had the same name and the same
kind of poueuiona, he would not be myself."
"True, Kutadanta," answered Buddha, "be would not be thyself.
Now, tell me, is the person who goes to achool one, and
that same person when he has finished hie schooling another?
Ia it one who commits a crime, another who is punished by
having hie hands and feet cut off?"
"They are the same," was the reply.
"Then sameness is constituted by continuity only?" Mked
the Tathagata.
"Not only by continuity," said Kutadanta, ••but alRO and
mainly by identity of charact.er."
"Very well," concluded Buddha, "then you agree that per·
sons can be the same, in the 11ame sense a11 two flames of the
same kind are called the same; and thou mDBt recognize that
in this sense another man of the same character ancl product
of the same karma is the same a11 thou."
"Well, I do," said the Brahman.
Buddha continued: "And in this same sense alone art thou
the same to-clay as yest.erday. Thy nature i11 not constituted

it ia the continuation of my existence, but I do not oare for
that kind of oontinnation. All I care for ia the oontinoation
of aelf in the other senM', which makes of every man, whether

thi" i" the cleaving to self. Thia ia thy error, and it implieatea
thee into unnecellll8ry anxieties and wrong-doing, into grief
aud tiarea of all kind. He who cleaves to aelf mnat pua through

who read these words and fully comprehend the position of the
Brahman, will be in sympathy with his thought, but it will be
eeen that Buddha, and we think wisely, maintains that the
Brahman's position is wholly characterized by self, and that by
holding to self he ~11 lose self, or immort.ality. It is the function
of the natural man, as of the animal world, to preserve
11elf, and while he may vaguely think and indefinitely believe
that he is loving and cleaving to the soul, that ia, the real self,
yet in reality, not having defined and separated in bis own
mind all the characteriRtica of a real existence, he is living in
the shadow of the present existence, which must peri11h and
paSM away. With smih there can be no perpetuation of existence
or continuottK chain of consciousness. This, Buddha clearly
sets forth in verse twelve, in which he ttaytt: ••The Blessed
One has not oome to teach death, but to teach life, and thou
dost not discern the nature of living and dying.'' Verse thirteen
shows that Buddha's position was the same u the one that
we have just indioat.ed. In verse fourteen we read: ••Self is
death and truth is life, et.

USEFUL INSTBUOTIONS.
A line of instructions such as the.e will fall into the hands
of many-and, no doubt, honest, earneat penons-to whoee minds
they will appear to oontain bat little that ia uaeful, beoauae of the
habit of the maaaes of hearing many things and reading many
words and giving bat little att.ention t.t> them. The mind of the
reading public baa becorue like a bard. beat.en path in which noth.
ing can grow. If you wish your mind to grow, your thought capacity
to become enlarged. you must overoome the habit of reading-l'eading
too much, and of lightly reading anything. You
must also overcome the habit of entering into, and becoming a
party to light and frivolous oonveraation. But right here, in
order that these inatruotiona may be of general use, it ia neceeaary
to exercise diacrimination. There ia a clau of peraona who
are inclined to take everything very seriously, upon whoee minds
a word makes a very deep impreaaion-they think about it, and
view it from every standpoint. To these people the above suggestions
are not applicable; to such I would say: Have your
timP.11 for study and deep thought, but when your mind begins
to tire and thought comes only by great effort, then you should
go into sodety and engage in light conversation, or go out into
the fil'ld and play like ~ child-enter into nRture and atop your
thinking; let go and let the mind rest.
On the other hand, to the great majority of people, who have
• l>een in the habit of lightly reading on all subjects, I would
say: Before you can accomplish anything of importance, you
must learn to give special attention to every word that ia utwred
around you and to everything that you read; but that
attention should be of such a nature that you are able to with·
draw your thought from a. person who is talking frivolously,

that yon are looking for truth; and in order to aearch for

in purauitof a oertain important thing. The mind, under nohoiroumatanoea,
would gin no thought to the pleuuree and tboughtleu
reat and quiet of the home life, but it -would be intent on
the ultimation of its object. The aenaea would be wide awake;
.. we oommonly say, the eyes would be alway• open to see anything
and everything that would facilitate the object in view.
In establishing in the mind our object in life, we abould
not forget that '"life is real, life ia eamest, life ia not an empty
dream," and should remember that no high attainment can be
reached unless all the powera of mind and body are bent in
one direction. Another thought mnet hue ita plaoe in this
connection; namely, that great reaulta are aooompliahed atep
by step, a little at a time,-jWtt u, in climbing a high moUDtain,
you take but one atep at a time, and if you were to atop and
count the number of etepe, take into consideration the toil and
labor, and coun11el your feeling• in the matter, you would not
feel like advancing further. The only question that you should
oonaider ia, Am I able to reach the objeoti ve point? it it re&!Onable
to auppose that a man ie able to get there? While it it
right to question whether any one elae hu reached that height,
yet thia should not be an overpowering consideration, for you
may be able to riae higher than all others before you. We are
now in a time of "record breaking" in every department of ·
of science, m"chanioa, and physical and mental abilities.
We read in Revelation that the "fearful and unbelieving"
are they that fail. Thie ia true in every eftort toward attainment
in life; a man or woman cannot be "fearful and unbelieving"
and aooomplith very much in the line of hia or her
efforts. Reasonable faith ie all-powerful. I say "reasonable
faith," because there ie a olaaa of minds who have unbounded
faith altogether out of proportion to their reason and ability;
and if that faith ie allowed to dominate their life, their objects
will be a total failure. It should be made a subject of thought
and ca.reful study to 6nd a harmonious balance between reaeon
and £aith, self-confidonce, and also between hope and faith.

strong, it should be restrained. The manifestation of hope is
to wait, like Micawber, "for something to turn up," but if anything
turns up for us in this higher life, we should remeruber
tha.t it is for us to turn it up, and bring it to the surface and
utilize it; for, in order to accomplish his purpose a man must
have knowledge, which can only be obtained through experi·
ence, experimentation.
It is not always necessary, however, that we ourselves experience
a thing; the experience of another may be so complete
that it becomes knowledge to us. But hear in mind the
fact, that great knowledge is not necessarily useful; great
wisdom is better than great knowle

take up some line of thought very obscure and diftleult t.o comprehend,
work on it and mast.er it at all huarda; but when the
the miud becomes exhausted, it should be allowed t.o rest.
Another point worthy of oonaideration ia, that dllftsrent persons
are differently constituted in regard t.o auch matt.era.
There are many who would rest as soon as they feel the least
fatigued, while others would carry the drill t.oo far and thereby
injure the power of the mind. Those who train athlet.ea do
not allow their men t.o atop a particular exercise when the
muscles begin t.o ache, but they aee that they diaoontinue it before
their powers begin t.o fail. And eo, in training the mind,
we ahould continue the exercise for some time after we feel
tired, but it ia always well t.o atop before the mind commence•
to fail.
PersonR born while the earth was in the sign Cancer, Leo,
and sometimes Scorpio or Aquarius, or who have planetary
endowments largely in interior signs, are apt t.o lack power of
mental focalization, and yet they are the ones who are moat apt
t.o say, "I do not need such a line of instruction as we are now
pursuing," when the fact of the matter is, they are the ones who
most need it. It should be remembered that the mental faculties
are subject to the same law as that which go,·erns the muscles
of the body: if a man uses the muscles in bard continuous labor,
he can so develop the body that it can endure an incredible
amount of hard work; hut this is accomplished only IJy long
and persistent effort. And just so with the cultivation and development
of mind; it is only by long and persistent effort that
the mind is developed so that it ia capable of understanding
obscure and difficult problems, or of 11arrying on keen and di1teriminative
thought for a long period of time.

THE PLANT'S STORY I
By the wayaide, one day, I saw a little flower, and, attracted
by its modest beauty, I plucked it. As I looked into its upturned
face, I questioned it thus:
"Little flower, tell me, of what use are you? what is your
place in the Divine economy?"
And my eyes opened wide with surprise, and my heart grew
big with wonder as I list.ened, for it seemed to reply; and theee
were the words that came into my heart:
"You know that form is indicative of quality, also that many
plants have very pronounced qualities; in some instances, so
beneficent as to render thew fit for food, while others are poisonous,
the remainder ranging in their effects between these
extremes. I have builded this form. of moisture and the elements
obtained from the earth aml air. What you bold iu your band
iA simply a form, a llignature, indicative of the qualities within.
Thia organism ia composed chiefly of carbon obtained from
the air, where it exists in the form of a poison cast oft by men
and animals in the artificial and natural processes necesaary to
life and civilization. Consequently, you see that a part of our
use in the economy of nature is to purify the air. But tbia ia
only the most apparent part of our work; in the effect of our
easencea upon the human organism you will find evidences of our
further use; for example, the poison oak contains that which
irritates the skin, the poppy that which which induces aleep .
.. I aaid that I had builded this form of the elements of earth,
air, and wate1., but, you ask, whence do I get the peculiar qualitiea
wherewith to affect your organism? You know that quality
ia not material in its nature; and wheu you are told that the
sap of a ce1•tain pla.ut will poiliou you l>eoause it uontaiu11 001·-

tain chemical conetituenta, you know that it is but half a truth,
for itJe the peculiar quality of the life of the plant oommunioated
to your own life forces that affeota you; the material aubataoce
ia merely the embodiment of the quality of life, the
house in which it abides.
"If you open the eyes of the soul, you will aee that you are
surrounded by a aubatance of which thought.a are formed; it ia
the mind, the life, of Earth. By some it ia called the astral
light; and it ia the underlying aubatanoe of all material form.
It ia crowded with forms, some of which are the emanations of
human life. Should you become angry, you would radiate a
noisome mind or life quality, by which the mental atmosphere
'lrnuld be poisoned. A measure of this poison would be absorbed
by some plant, which would build it into itself, thus cleanaing
the mental aurroundinga. The juice of the vlant, applied to
the akin, might cause a rub or an angry flush; taken internally
the result might be fever or oonvulaiona, for the anger of
the plant, having been freed, would become a part of yourself.
The plant you despise, because, you say, it ia poisonous, but
the poison ia youra,-your anger, your eelflahnesa, hate, immorality,
or whatever the evil in which you may have indulged.
You are, for the time being, the fountain which gives it it.a
power for ill. The plant ia not evil but good, for it clean1e1
the mind of Earth, in which you dwell.
"And so it ia with all of ua; we gather from the emanations
of men the qualities peculiar to our natures. Some of ua gather
hate and some l~ve, the energies or the atupor,-some one oomhination
of qualities anti some another. Thus you aee we are
keeping pure the air and the life cnrrenta of Earth, doing
what we can that you may have a clean home.in which to dwell."
I kiaaed the little ftower, and, laying it down, pondered long
upon it.a words and the wooden of nature's economy.

AN OOTA VE OF WORLDS.
The planets, including the earth, must be regarded aa so
many ateps in evolutionary unfoldment. Could we visit them
in their order, beginning with Mercury, we would find thateaoh
auooeeding world, with all organized life upon it, was one planetary
cycle in advance of the world that we had just left behind.•
It is in this great octave of the aolar aystem that we
must study the order of creation, organization,-the organization,
first, of the individual, then of the family, community, or
nation,-that is, the organization of a limited number of individuals
into one body, or structure-and, finally, the organiz&­
tion of the entire planetary intelligence into a perfect whole,
the perfected p1anetary man.
1n other words, the ultimate aolidarity of the race is to be
such that its individual members will maintain the same interrelation
as that which binds together the cells of our own physical
body. We know that the physical structure is composed
of minute cells, each in itself a complete organism; that among
theee tiny individuals a wonderful specialization bas arisen
from the fact that they have arranged themselves into distinct
auewblages, or groups, for the purpose of uniting their efforts
in the aocomplishment of some particular work for the common
good, some devoting themselves to the task of nutrition, others

to that of reproduction, to locomotion, and 80 f 01·th, yet each
group establishing a most intimate relation with every other
group, and regulating its duties accordingly. The reault of
this grouping of individuals (cells), and linking of groups. is
the complex, many-celled, physical structure, with its various
organs.
Now, the history of the development of the ultimate planetary
man will be identical with that of our own physical organism.
The parallel between the processes of growth will be an
exact one if, for the cells, we but substitute the units of the
race, who are to be grouped to form the several organs of that
grand man aa are the cells in the performance of the various
functions of the human body; some will go to make up the feet,
others the knees, the bead, the heart, the reins, but between
the whole the unity of intellection, of interest, of impulse, of
conaciousneas, will be that which binds together the cells of our
physical struoture. Whatever may effect one will thrill through
the conaciousne88 of all as lite1'&lly as the cells of the human
body respond each to the other.
This, then, in the language of the planets, is the plan of creation1-each
world is to produce but one man, an organism composed
of the entire planetary race. Now the application of this
truth is such a significant factor in the study of planetary influence
on human character, that the writer proposes to examine,
in a aeries of papers written for the Journal, the several steps
of the creative or planetary scale in their relation to this im-
1iortant subject.
Upon Mercury we find au 01·der of life that has not passed
beyond the psychic stake of unfoldment; that i11, organization
is not sufficiently advanced to have developed an independent
individual consciousness. The individual knows, feels, thinks,
as does the Creative Mind, is one with it, is incapable of intellection
or of an impulse other than what it finds iu the great
m·cative currents of which it is as yet ecarcely more than a
part. These beings belong to the reins of the Solar Organism,

Mercury if we understand that, in their organization, the mental
operations are conduct.eel in the reins instead of in the bead.
In the reins is located the organ of mentality, by meaos of
which all that is seen in the realms of psychic life-upon
which.they look out aa we look out upon a material and more
aubatantial world- is examined, compared, and adjusted to its
proper relations, by the same process as that by which we gain
concept& of a materiRl existence.•
A. atrange people these!-paychic creatures, who have not

our material world, so they know the vibrating currents of astral
or creative life and the inmost secrets of the Creative Mind.

we meet a personification of the knowledge of the ancients.
But we must not linger too long upon :Mercury, interesting
as it is, with its mystic shadows penetrated by the strange red
light, with the absence of all water, and of vegetation such as
we know it, ita weird and wonderful people, speeding from
place to place with the fleetness of thought.
Passing further away from the Solar Center we find ourselves
in the virgin presence of the beautiful Venua. Here
oxygen exists in sufficient quantities to have carried the work
of Nature's transmutation paat its red states, seen when carbon
flrat catches the fire-oxidation bas r&&ohed its yellow stage,
and yet there is a delicate trace of the primal red around us.
What shall we call the exquisite color? a roseate yellow?-&
little denser, po88ibly, than that, yet the term describes it as
well as another. ·
But the purpose of our visit is to study the people, and we
turn at once to them. In order, however, to gain an intelligent
conception of the people of Venus, we must hear in mind the
fact that, viewed from its broadest standpoint, the processes of
evolution prtl8ent two grand cycles of unfoldment. the culmination
of each involving several inferior cycles or stepa. During
the first of these great periods, Nature turns all he1· forces to·

raoe, and then the uniiloation of these individuala into the
grand man of the planet.
A oonaideration of this law probably explains a feeling of
singular contentment that haa been creeping over ua ainoe we
touched the planet Venus. The very atmosphere ia permeated
with a sort of aelf-aatiafaotion, of aelf-aufticiency. Our mental
horizon aeema bounded on all aides by self, and from within
there ariaea a oonaciouaneaa of strength, of individual willpower,
that, for the first time in our experience, givee ua a
eenae of absolute independence; we need no companionship, no
ext.ernal sympathy or support. The power of a aelf-centerad
individuality atanda supreme in exultant realisation that it baa
within ita command all that it can desire. A little reflection convincea
ua that a mental atmosphere anch as this can belong only
t-0 a people who have reached the culmination of the.first great
oyole of development, that of the completement of an individualized
entity, maintaining an exiat.euoe distinct froan, aud :independent
of other members of the raee; an existence answering
in our own physical development, to that of the "simple cell".
In order, however, to understand the character of the individualization
achieved upon the planet Venus, we must remember
that organization, from its iuitial st.epa to its ultimation,
iR dependent upon the presence and interaction of the positive
and negative principles, that when these two are disassociated
unrest and Rtruggle are the result. Consequently, the calm

cient power which the oneneaa alone can give.
A delightful world is Venus; it is the abode of love-conjugal
love. Im inhabitants are a virgin raoe, who ha'\'e not yet
experienced "the fall" and all that it involved; they have not
taated of the tree of the knowledge of goocl and evil, nor do
they know the aorrowful meaning of the separate exiatenoe of
man and his interior half. Beauty surruunda them and an atmosphere
of supreme content envelops their world. But we,
who have advanced somewhat further in the scale of being, recognize
the fact that the absolute selfiahnesa of these beings
(which, ~ we have seen, is the legitimate fruit of perfect conjugal
love), the absence of all unrest, the perfect satisfaction
in the existing order of things, bar all further progress in
evolutionary unfoldment, unless the interposition of some exterior
law disturbs these elysian states.
Leaving Venus, we begin the most intereAting part of our
astral journey. We have traced the processes of evolution
until org-dnization has acheived its first task, that of constructing
a completely individuali?.ed being, independent of those
around him, self-centered and eelf-snfticient. In approaching
the aeoond part of the work of organization, by which theee individuals,
these "single cells," are to be built into one grand
structure, we are confronted by the operation of laws so potent-in
the present transitional state of our world, as potent
for evil as for good-that the writer feels constrained to follow
the precept and example of the ancients, and veil much
that she may say in symbolic language. By so doing she feels
that she will commune with those who knnw, and yet will nut
eudanger the weak.

lust of the flesh-that is, the beast life. All who came through
Eve, the angel creation, were not aona of God, but were of the
serpent race. En was aeduoed by the serpent desire for her
husband, and suffered for the act. The first child waa a murderer.
Abel, the beginning of God through the desire of Eve,
wu the first aon of God born into the serpent, and the Adam
world. God created Adam to begin a new creation; and from
. Adam God brought forth this new creation, through whom Je­
IUI, the Holy One, wu brought bodily into the world, among
the teed of Abraham, to redeem the sons of Eve, who were under
the judgment of the law, and to bring about the design
anticipated in Adam and Eve in Eden.
Death aentenoe waa not passed upon Eve but upon Adam
alone; and it came to pass that the very day he traosgreaaed, he
died,-the fint. day, the first thousand-year period; he died
when he was 980 years of age, leaving to the eeed of David,

the immortal man: the mortal, the dead body, is fashioned after
tbe serpent.
Because of Adam's disregard for the word of God, the dead
aerpent body was t.o role for six thousand years. The shadow
of this serpent body Moses was ordered to lift up in the wilderneas-•-the
brazen serpent" (Nam. xx1. 8,9). This was a fiery
serpent, or in it was the mind and law of God; for the time
would· come when the house of Israel would no longer look to
Moses, bot to the image of the carnal body lifted up before
Israel during the fiery hour of the great indignation of God.
In this serpent ima.ge is to be written the law of God for the
healing of the serpent-bitten, dead sins of Adam. This oho11en
body is his feet tha.t are to stand on the Mouut of Olives in
that day, the day of bis fiery judgment, the seventh day from
Adam, and the third day from the birth of Jesus, the Christ.
All who will look to this body for instruction, shall live by
hearing aud doing all that they are admonished to perform, and
thus live under the sohoolmaster as did all orderly sons of God.

The Bride ia not the kingdom of God and hie Son on earth,
but ia the Tabernaole of God among men; the head over the
feet. The belly, the eerpent, ie the body from the head to the
feet; with the belly and it.a meat destroyed, these are the enemies

two days t.o transpire before he oould receive his own and
reign over mankind on the third day, that and the last day
spoken of by him (John VI. 89--iO and II. 24 ). Theee truths
are due t.o the Head Body, the Bride, henoe an revealed since
the church age has cloeed, and Jeeua now stands u recorded
in Rev. m. 20-21. Jeeua is now the life and voice of thia new
body~and no one of the other members can criticise the work
of another member, without withstanding God t.o his face. All
must now turn from the old wine well drunken, and turn t.o
the new wine, the Light of Life of our King; Jeaua, the &n of
God, most drink from his order.
The resurrection of the sleeping ones is taking place in the
kingdom as recorded in Rev. iv., and eoon through them the
seals will be opened by the King of kings. Thoee whose bodiee
have passed int.o dust do not come forth from their gravee;
they now have their new bodies and are in the upper kingdom
(u.Cor. v. 1-4). No believerooold ever seethe corruption or decay
of his body; when his spirit leaves the body it enters a new
and spiritual body like the body the .Ma1ter ia in. The life of
the fleah of the Bride Body will not be changed as long as they
are on the earth; but at the end of man in the 6.esh, at the end
of the day of judgment, and of the time that Satan ia loosed
to gather his own to be destroyed, will Christ appear in the
body, and all those in the Head and in the Feet, and all those
who will not forsake him, will be changed to the incorruptible
body, in which is the life eternal, the Spirit of the living God
with the new creation, as among the angels of the abodea above,
in the place of those who, with that old Satan, rebelled from
above (Rev. xx. 6-10).
The serpent, or the body of flesh, is the body the old Satan
occupies as his bride on earth, as Christ occupies bis Bride of
the earthy, the celestial body. The feet and the belly are the
the terrestrial body. No man can rid himself of the old carnal,

animal nature: his life and nature will be changed throughout,
a uew life, with desires only of the new life. To this end celibacy
will be practiced in the kingdom. Women will bring
forth only according to the will of God. Women will seek God
for children, for in the kingdom all those born will not have
the animal nature and will be sons of God, as be intended in
the case of Adam and Eve. This will only be with the foot
body and the sons of Abraham. In the Bride Body there will
be no births. If in this belly there are men with wives, in the
new order they will be separated as though death had taken
one of the two. Those wives who will believe only the doctrines
of the sects, churches, will die and release the husbands,
for this Bride Body are, as the angels, not given in marriagebence
celibacy with them. The resurrection life brings about
this result. There will be no desire for woman, nor of the wife
for her husband, for both have passed through the second
death, have been crucified to the flesh and the devil. Let
it be understood, therefore, that celibacy is only for the foot
body, as we read in Isaiah LV. 17-25. The curse, the child-birth
pain, is removed. In the creation of Eve she was to have given
birth without pain, but this was laid upon her for her part in
the disobedience, in order to call to her mind and to the minds
of all her daughters the oath of God to crush the head of the
serpent. What should have had a beginning six thousand
years since, now soon begins-from 1908 on down through the
seventh day, the sabbath day, for the pure seed of the woman.

THE RISING SIGNS.-Concluded.
LIBRA RISING produces a tall, well-formed, willowy body;
regular and orderly features, and a complexion inclined to be
fair. Persons with Libra bodies are very sensitive; disposed
·to irregularity in their habit of life; apt to have times resembling
despondency, when they wish to get away from
everyone and everything in life. When other conditions are
favorable, this sign opens the individual to a degree of eccentricity.
It is a very inspirational sign, and facilitates the action
of the mind; it also leads to self-esteem.
SCORPIO RISING. The form of a Scorpio body is very plastic
to the influence of the innate sign and planetary positions. Persons
with Scorpio bodies are usually large-boned and of large
stature; sometimes, however, are short and st.out, with a rather
thick neck and inclined to dark complexion. Their self-appreciation
is very strong, and they are apt to be silent and subtle;
have a tendency to be domineering and self-assertive, with a
desire to be looked up to and respected as a superior. These
people are very sociable and genial with chosen friends, and
are inclined to heart difficulty.
SAGITTARIUS RISING usually produces a rather tall person
with square shoulders, well boned and muscled; active and military
bearing, head erect and eyes wide open. It gives a love
of athletic exercises and of an active life; inclines t;o restlessness,
but imparts vigor and energy. This body sign is less plastic
to the influence of the earth sign and planetary positions
than, perhaps, any of the rising signs. Other things be-

ing favorable, its inclination is to a military life. The complexion
of persoDB having a Sagittarius body is governed wholly
by. other conditions.
CAPRICORN RISING produces a body of medium height and
rather atraight, the most marked featnre of which is its sloping
shonlden. It usually givea large bones, and large hands and
feet. Persona with Capricorn bodies are not endowed with
great physical endurance, bot are quite equal to any special
effort; they are apt to have weak chest and lungs. They are
quite indepeDdent in character, and it is difficult for them to
be subordinates. Are kind, thoughtful, active and energetic;
have good busineu minds, but are not aggressive. They are
inclined to paralysis.
AQUARIUS RISING. This body sign is subject to the inftu.
enoe of the innate qualities, both as to size and form. It usually
produces a short, plump body, round features and a strong
inclination toward femininity. Persons having an Aquarius
body are not strong physically, but frequently have great vital
endurance. They are sensitive and nervous, rather silent and
independent. Are inclined to dark complexion. Liable to
rheumatic difficulties, and, if not well protected by other planetary
position•, they are open to diseased conditions of various
kinds. The mind affects the body more directly under thia
sign than, perhaps, any other.
PISCES RISING usually produces a rather small body; oft.en
slender, lacking in vitality and physical stamina. It leads to
peculiarities and almost eooentrioities. Gives independence of
thought and action-in fact, I have known those with Pisces
rising who took extra pains to avoid being and acting like
other people. The are very restless, and have a feeling of wanting
an undefined something. Are inclined to a professional life.

Your rising sign is Pieces, and, as the masculine side of the Pisces
nature is negative, your body is weak and rather negative, lacking
the positive energy and strength which are essential to success in a~y
direction. Although the Virgo baae, polarized into Sagittarius, makes
you very executive and practical, yet Uranus and Jupiter in Aquarius
turn your practical tendencies into the mystic. Saturn, Mars, Venus
and Mercury are all in heads of trinities, thus while your body sign is
practical and orderly and the position of the earth and moon adapt
you for service, yet the position of the other planet.a militates very
much against succeu in business, for you would find minuti11e very
distasteful, and would. therefore, be apt to fail, if in business for yourself.
You are impulsive and inclined to overdo, which would help
to bring on failure; consequently, you would be most successful in the
employ of another. Yolt would make a good accountant, and you
have also a good idea of art. You have ideals leading you toward
the occult and mystic sciences, but attainment in this direction will
require great diligence on your part. Should you study these sciences
from an Oriental standpoint, you would soon become entangled in
magic, which would be disastrous to you; but should you study them
from the higher esoteric or Christian point of view, whatever you obtained
would be actual gain, for what is gained in a life of devotion
and consecration to God for the good of humanity is of lasting benefit.

The earth in Ariea and the moon in Cancer produce a harmonioua
combination for a clear, bright in~llect, but your Piace1 body is
somewhat unfortunate, u it inclinea to physical weakneu; however,
it givea great carefolneae and accuracy in whatever you do. Sabirn
and Mercury in Taurus tend to opposite conditions, the first of which
is strength of body and mind, by virtue of power to conserve the vital
fluids, but with your Piacea body and possible inclination to sexual
indulgence, they produce a corresponding weakneea. Venna in Cancer

OORRESPONDENOE.
Chicago, Ills. Feb. 18, 1900.
Prof. H. E. Butler,
Dear Sir:-I fear that, after IO long a time, you will hardly be able
to recall my writing to you laat Nonmber, inclosing some studies in
Solar Biology, which you were kind enough to notice, intimath~g that
I could do work which might in some way be useful toward the future
edition of S. B. I should be very glad to contribute anything in my
power, if I understood how to do so. I waa much pleased and encouraged
by your letter, and sent at once for the Ephemeris. Having
aeen only the tint edition of S. B., and knowing nothing about rising
signs, I felt that my study was at a stand. After a delay of aome weeks
(which was explained) the Ephemeris came; but, as I understand it,
the tables for the sidereal time are only "for the coming year," and
in order to use the rising sign in reading character, it is neeeesary to
have tables for the year of the penon'a hit·th. If ao, what am I to do
now? I am very anxiouM to go on, yet I do not posseaa a copy of even
the old edition of S. B.-it was kindly loaned me by a friend. I hope
to have the books, bnt cannot at present or for aome time to come.
I have just been atudying, as an "object lesaon," the Swami Vivekananda,
of India, whom I have had opportunities of meeting very
informally. It is interesting to recognize the Capricorn nature in a
race-type 10 different from our own. I have noticed in moet of the
Capricorns that I have met, a combination of the skeptic and the
mystic-in aome of them the attraction of the unseen world seems to
be present in a very rudimentary form, merely disturbing their materialistic
views enough to cause mental inconaistenciea. One was a
natural psychic-would not admit the exiat.ence of spirit, and would
contradict anyone else who denied it. Another had a very fine spirit­
Ul\l and religious sense, totally at odds with all forms of expre88ion,
and profeaaing to doubt everything. There is Kipling-mocking,
serious even to gloom and severity. In Vivekananda. the mystic spirit
is int.enae and far·reaching. beyond anything we aee in the W eat, but
kept perfectly sane by hie "common sense," humor, an

whimsical; if asked a serious question, he may answer it from the
negative aide entirely, with a aort of mockery. At uother time, the
other apirit uaeria iteelf in a way to stagger the ordinary mind. And
I feel that it is always present, behind there. He bu the Capricorn
head for generalizing, and is keeping a lot of people at work in India,
-leaving the detaila to others. He is direct and 1imple in his talk,
and always intereatitag. Upon one oocaaion he said, "I have never
gone much into these allegories-just a few plain facts;" and at another
time he spent the evening telling allegories and fairy tales from
the Sanacrit, and bringing the deepest meaning out of them. He is
full of force, is very restless, and belongs to a strongly emotional type;
but I don't know how this comes, as I have not been able to aee my
friend's copy of S. B. lately, and know nothing of Vivekananda's
birth except the earthsign. Hie date, I believe. is January 6, 1864.
Whenever a penon'a native planetary conditious recur, he must
feel the infiuence-is it so? I have thought of this in regard to
aome of my friends. This is one: Oct. 3-.Lilwa; 2 in .o., ))
inn,~ in "l, l in ::e., '1/. in H, '2 in cy>, Wint. She has
all the highest and finest qualities of Libra, of the idealistic type, to
the most intense degree. Pure, unaelfish, wafting her stre1ngth on
others. From kindnesa she allows coarse-grained people to take up
her time and torture her sensibilities. Much as she is liked, she
does not attract advantages-gifts from frienda, ete.-as aome do; she
radiates too much, scatters. Is exceedingly sensitive to other people's
troubles and states of mind. But in herself-absolute harmony and
happineBB belong to her; humor, laughter, enthusiasm, a deep religious
nature. A Catholic with never a shadow of doubt, but dialikes formali1m,
"churehiness", or the least approach to morbidness. Doesn't
believe in convents, and cannot bear to be shnt in, hedged about, or
"bossed" by anyone. (la this from Aries?) I suppose it is '2 in cy>
that gives her great originality, inventive power, And ability to produce
a fine quality of work of any kind, but never anything mechanical,
arbitrary, or slavish, or built of details. Perhaps it also accounts
for her uncommon progresaivene88 and power to learn from experience.
In writing. her language is original, C'lear and to the point.

Mr. H. E. Butler,
Dtlar Sir:-Your ofter to devote a portion of "TBB OocULT AND
BIOLOGICAL JouBNA.L" to the productione of "Cranb" ie, I believe, a
nry good one. A.a I ~ve for eeveral years had opiniooa of my own,
and have held t.enaeioualy to them, in apit.e of couiderable oppoeition,
I have been considered a crank, and rejoice in the appellation,
if, being one, I am i118trumental, in conueotion with many others, in
turoiog the minde of the people out of the ruta in which they are
now running.
A.a all great movements for the good of the people have been rejected
by thoee in power, and even by thoee whom they are intended
to benefit, and have had to wait for a later generation to take
them up and utilize them, it would eeem to me to be a good idea to int.ereat
the children of the preaent day in Solar Biology. So far u I
know, nothing has been done in thia direction. A.a the children of
to-day will be the men and women of a few yeara hence, a little inatruction
in Solar Biology, which might be made very intereating,
woald give them a much better idea of themeelvee and of their eehoolmatee,
and would in the end result (in some e&&e1, at least) in bringing
a higher grade of human beings on the stage of life, for ignorance
of the laWll that govern our lives is the cause of nearly all the mieery
in the world.

80 THE BIOLOGICAL JOURNAL.
Among the subacribera to The Jolll'nal there are, doubtless, many
achoolteachers, day and Sunday, and many of those who are not
have relatives or frienda who are: now, if these schoolteachers
would arrange the echolara undvr their care in the form and or·
der of the zodiac, each aign separated from the one on either
side, an object leaaon would be presented to the children, which,
I believe, they would never forget. The soul of an individual ia ex·
preaaed in the face to a greater extent than in uy other portion of
the body; therefore, having the children in the order of the zodiac,
let the teacher point out a few of the leading characteristica of each
sign, ahowing that they are expresaed in the face and other parts of
the body, aome of the peculiarities being very marked, in contrast with
the adjoining or some other sign; for example, take the happy, con·
tented expreasion of Taurus in contrut with the dissatisfaction ex·
preaaed by Gemini; the happy but witle-awake look of Aquarius aa
compared with the discontented look of Piacee; the suave, social di,aposition
of Libra contrasted with the reaened, and sometimes repellent
attitude of Scorpio; the frail body of Cancer in contrast with the
well-fed physique of Scorpio. 1'ht1&e illustrations are merely intended
to suggest many others, which will atford the teacher an opportunity
to point out, in a loving spirit, those traits in each nature which
should be controlled.
After the teacher has once arranged the children in zodiacal order,
there will be no trouble in calling them together for further instruction,
as each child will find its own place, and will m"nifeet great interest
in the study of its own peculiarities, as well as those of its
school-mates. If the teacher of a single class, room, or grade, in a
large school, will organi7.e the echolan in the above order, it will be an
easy matter to interest other teachers in the same idea; and a large
number of children, say a thousand, each child knowing il.3 own place,
could be called into zodiacal order in two or three minutes.
The above ideas can be worked out in churches, factoriee, etc.,
wherever a body of people can be gathered together for combined
amusement and instruction. Yours truly, A. L. Nathan.

We think that t.he following brief sketch shows that this man's
mathematical abilities ai·e indicated by the position of the planets at
the time of his birth. It is nnfol'tnnate that we have not the hour of

be absolutely sure of the position of the moon; hie unusual endowment,
however, indicates that he is polarized in Cancer. The innate nature,

if we had the hour of birth. The tendency of this person to live fa11t and
to brag of his abilities is undoubtedly due to the fact that he is wholly
controlled by one idea. The Jewi11h nature is an intense one, therefore
the appetites and pas11ions are strong. He probably makes money
easily. and, is therefore, inclined to live fast. If he were awakened
to a more elevated sphere of thought, his attainment in the science of
numbers, if not in the sciences in general, would be of a high order.

PUJ'ACI.
The aim of The Occult and Biological Journal ia two fold: first, it endeavors to unveil
to the 1tudent the mysteries of the higher truths for which the Western mind
i1 now eeeking in the mysticism of the past and in Oriental religions; shows the correlation
of the doctrines of the Orient and those of the Christian religion, and U8e8
the wisdom of the paat to throw new light on Biblical text; and, secondly, to those
whoee deeire i1 individual unfoldment, it gives a special course of instructions; presente
methode for increasing the a1nount of life in the organiem, for i'8 conservation
and control, thus insuring the magnetic power so neceseary to succe811 in all directions.
It studies the biology of the univen1e. Investigates the laws of life, tracing
the course of its unfoldment from ite origin until it reaches the perfection of the
human organism. Calls attention to its usee and abuses. Its presentation of the
esoteric ecienoes is concise and clear, always emphasizing their practical value.
Although it would seem that the number of nbw-thought publications now before
the people must certainly be greater than the demand, yet we fllel that no apology is
neceseary in offering the public a journal which we believe po86esses exceptional
facilities for presenting lines of thought heretofore neglected, and which the people
now demand for practical use.

MENTAL BOIENOE,
OB
Ha.A.LING BY THE PowER OF Mum.
A belief in the power of the mind to overcome diaeased oonditions
of the body, baa spread with great rapidity throughout
the civilized world, and unless there was some vitality in it, aome
foundation in trath, it would not have been ao generally aooepted.
To define the nature of that vitality i1 a difficult matter,
because so little is known and understood relative to the law
of mind and its relation to the physical body. The announcement
that seems to go before this new sy1t.em as a crier, that
.. all is mind," or that .. all is spirit," appears to be vital thought
that prepares the mind for reception. But in order to reoeive
it intelligently, we should inquire into the oharaot.er of this
spirit or mind that heals.
In view of the declaration that all there is of us is mind, or
spirit, we must accept the fact that our body is spirit, or mind,
aud that what.ever diseased condition may appear to be existing
in us is of the mind. "But," says the skeptic sufferer, ''it
is very real to me. I feel it in my body." The declaration,

86 THE BIOLOGICAL JOURNAL.
however, meets the objection, for, if all is mind, your body ie
mind. Yet bow bard it ie for a man suffering with toothache
to believe that all hie pain ie purt\ly of the thought, and that if
be could believe that it did not ache, it would not do eo. "But,"
be eaye, '"l know it does ache. Don't I feel it? Doesn't my
face swell?" -and yet the statement remains unmoved, ••All ie
mind." You feel it; yes, your mind feels it. Your face swells;
yes, the mind swells, for if the flesh is mind, then it is the mind
that swells.
This ie really hard logic, and in order to find something vital
in the matter, we moat look at the subject philosophically.
The mind of the masses, however. ie not prepared for its philosophic
presentation. It is enough for the great majority that
the declaration, "Allie mind," does really cure disease, accompanied,
of course, by the thought and declaration that spirit
cannot be sick, cannot suffer, eannot ho diseased, for God is
spirit, and God ie immortal. But there are those who think, and
who want something besides a declaration, and if they will
think logically, they will be brought face to face with the declaration
made in the first chapter of Genesis, that .. in the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth," and that this
creation was produced by a spoken word-God said, ••Let there
be . . . . and it was so." And thus with the whole catalogue
of the manifestation of creation; God spoke the wor-d,
and it was. Now, if a spoken word is the result or expression
of a thought, then, if we acwept the Bible statements as true,
we are brought to accept the fact that all is mind.
Again we read: "And every plant of the field before it was
in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the
Lord God bad not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there
was not a man to till the ground." Gen. II. 5. From this
verse it is clear that the Lord God created the herbs and plants
before they grew in the ground; and, as the verse follows the
entire history of the order of creation, the inference ie that
man also was but a thought formed by Deity (a fact implied
in the words, "And there was not a man to till the ground"),

and that he had not obtained material subetanoe, called a
physical body. Now, if it was for, and in the power of the
thought to create for itself a material organism, which was
accomplished in the fullness of time and in the order of the
evolutionary unfoldment of the world, then the mind-cure
system has authority, at least, in the declaration of creation.
For, if the thought that God sent forth was the man
proper, and if that man organized and broucht into existence
the material structure for physical uses, then ii follows that he,
the mind organism, the thinking intelligence that oonatituted
the man proper, really made the body, formed it for himself.
Everyone knows that if the thinking intelligenoe oompletely
leaves the body, the body is dead and begins to disintegrate.
If this be true, it must necessarily follow that integration, or
the building process by which the body is kept and held in
form and renewed in substance, is being continually carried on
by the thought, or thinking part of the individual. We all,know
that if we stop taking on material, that is, if we stop feeding
the body, taking into the digestiTe canal the substance requisite
for its rebuilding, it immediately begins to waste away,
and will continue to lessen until disintegration has unfitted it
for occupancy, and the tenant must move out or begin to reconstruct
it by feeding it. If we had a good watch that was out
of repair, and if we knew the man who made it, we would not
hesitate to say that he was the one to repair it; for, if he made
it, surely he would be able to renew any of ita parts and to put
it again in good working order. Such, eTeryone will admit,
would be the most reasonable conclusion. It would hardly ht,
reasonable to ask a man to repair it who admits that he oould
not build one like it, and does not even know how it was built.
And yet this is the exact condition in which we find ounelves
to-day. All the facts go to prove that we ourselves built the
body and must continue the prooese of rebuilding in order to
maintain it; nevertheleea, if it is out of repair, we go at once to
another pel'80n who had nothing to do with the building of it,
and expect him to repair it for us.

88 THE BIOLOGICAL .JOU&NAL.
But it is not enough to tell an individual that he is the oonstructer
of his pbyeical body, and that he has the power requisite
to repair or renew any of its parts; be mast know how to renew
it. You tell him that it is a mental prooess-yes, but what
is that mental prooesa? It is certainly by no action of the
reasoning mind. It is not a process that can be brought about
10lely by thinking over the matter, but a process of what should
be called vital thought. Those living on the ordinary plane ~of
life recognize that vital thought only in relation to the feelings.
We frequently hear the remark, "I feel that such and such is
the cue." Thia tha* is called feeling ari11es in the aenaes, or,
perhaps, in the interior oonsoioasness: it is the involuntary
thought of the ordinary man. The involuntary thought in the
case of disease is, "l am diseased; I am sick; there is some
derangement." Now, this same mental process that causes us
to feel, to realize, and thus to believe, without a doubt, that we
are sick, is the identical pl'00088 that is capable of making us
well. In order to get, perhaps, nearer your comprehension of
the thought, you know that there is an involuntary action of
all the interior organs of the body; you have no control over
the beating of the heart, no conscious control over the digestion
of the food, or the circulation of the blood, but these are known
to be affected by the mind. How often it has occurred that sudden
news of disaster has stopped digestion, and sometimes has
almost caused the heart to stop beating and the circulation to
cease, almost and sometimes entirely, in an individual. This,
then, is an evidence that such operations are a mental process,
subject to the thought of the thinker.
Now, in order to be able to control the health condition of
the body and to rebuild waste tissue, it is necessary that one
give a great deal of thought as to how he may produce feeling
and a definite consciousness in the interior self, for it is impossible
to explain just how it is done: as it has never been scien-

tifically understood, no language is adequat.e to oonvey to the
mind what the process is, therefore it is necessary to feel after
it. We may, however, by reference to other experiences aid
you in your search for it. For instance, if a person feels de.
pressed and sad, friends say to him, 0 Why don't you throw it
off; it will do no good to brood over your feelings, cheer up;"
and he throws off the sadness and takes on cheerful, light, and
bnoyant conditions. Of eonrse, many cannot do this, but you
who have applied methods of self-control and have thought on
these lines, can euily discover how to accomplish it. It is done
by taking the opposite attitude; jnst as, when a person feels
dull and stupid, be produces the opposite (~ndition by energetic
and vivaciou~ action.
Some of the mental healers say that the ·silent treatment is
most effectual. We have frequently he.ard them speak of having
healed patientM by going to the house, sitting down, and not
thinking at all. Yes, but these persons do not know wh1Lt
they are doing. In order that we may produce a certain result,
we must have a like condition in ourselves. If we can establish
in ourselves c:1onditions opposite to those that produced the derangement
in our patient, we will impart that condition to the
patient to what.ever degree we are positive and unmoved in our
own fet-lings, for all diseased states are negative. To negative
diseases in others many have resorted to verbal denials, denying
its existence. This is good in so far as it serves auto-ang·
gestion. but auto.suggestions are of very little avail unle88
thA pet'SOn who iA making them, feels and believes what he
say11: for in ao far Ma person can make himself conscious
of perfect health aud of his superiority over diseased states, to
that extent can he impart health to others and to himself. It
must be remembered, however, that if disease is a negative
state, which it undoubtedly is, then it is necessary for the healer
to take an attitude of mind exactly opposite to that held by the
patient; and it is not enough to take that attitude pauively, it

must be entered into actively. If those practising men~ healing
for the benefit of others, would make a study of the patient's
feelings and mental oonditions, or, in other words, would find
out what mental oondition prodooed the disease, they would
only have to put themselves in the opposite attitude of thought
and feeling and to actively realize it, centralizing the mind op.
on the inner coneciooeneee of tbe patient and realizing it ther&­
in for him, and they would be able to heal any and all diseases.
A word as to applying to another to heal us. This we regard
as an expression of weakness, and it ehoold never be done when
we can pouibly do it for ourselves. There are instances, however,
and many of them, in which persona are placed in very
inharmonious surroundings, where the vital condition of the
organism is constantly being depreased and suppressed; and
oeually, in addition to that, planetary conditions are unfavorable,
so that they have no consciousness left within them that
enables them to rise above the thoughts and feelings that possess
them; consequently, they would grow weaker, aud finally
die. But aided by one who is favorably circumstanced, or
who by positive self-control bas risen aboTe circumstances,
and is able to command conditions, they may be lifted out of,
and held above the depreuing condition long enough to establish
a positive attitude within themselves •

THE SOUL.
Buddha's argument concerning the soul and hie use of the
flame of the lamp in illustration are very good~:_he clearly conveys
the thought that the real eelfhood is mind. Surely there is
no conecious existence except through and by the thinking part
of man, for when one stops thinking, consciousneae ceases. It
should be remembered, however, that there are many ways of
thinking: one form of thought arises from the physical mind,
which reasons and argues concerning a subject; another is of the
consciousness which comes from the five senses, as we take cog.
nizance of and think about the things around us, and yet another
way of thinking is that occasioned by the sensations that
continually arise in the physical organism, which keep us thinking
about, and therefore conscious of the physical structural
exist.ence. The last method is instinctive thought, which is
identical with that of the animal world.
The illustration given by Buddha contains a fine point of
discrimination: he cites the case of a man who writ.es a letter
at night. puts out his lamp and forgets in sleep what Jie has
written, the thoughts, however, remaining. What is it that remains
with the individual who has been thinking? The thinking
ceases, yet something remains, because on awakening he
has a desire,-something prompts the desire, to recall and rethink
the thoughts that he has written, and he does so readily.
Now, what is it that does this? There is something greater than
thought, or it would not have command of thought. This that
has command of thought is evidently not touched upon in the
philosophy of either Buddha or the Brahman: we are left to
the Hebrew Scriptures to find this something that is higher

working Egypt-a nation which bad as high, if not a higher
cult than that of either the Brahmans or Buddhists-in order
that he might deliver his people from their bondage, and that
knowledge was hidden away in that great name, that was given
to him as the sign of power and the memorial of Divinitv
In Exodus 111. 11-16 will be found the revelation of the great
name, which closes with the words, "This is my name forever,
and this is my memorial unto all generations." But the real
meaning of this name w&1:1 secret and sacred to those who uu.
derstood and used it; and as none but Moses, a few of the prophet.a,
and the Christ of Nazareth were able to comprehend and
utilize the name, therefore no others conld know it; yet it was
repeated thousands of times in the Hebrew Scriptures. For our
present purpose it is enough to say here that the import of thiK
great name is the God will.
If we attempt to analyze the nature of man, we are brought
face to face with the thought that has been herein given by
Buddha to the Brahman; namely, that all that there is of man's
consciousness is his thought. Buddha's use of the flame of the
lamp to illustrate the thought processes of am individual is very
beautiful. It must be remembered that, like the flame of the
lamp, the thoughts that one has to.day will, as the waters ,,f
the flowing stream, have passed to-morrow, and while the
stream is still flowing, the waters are other waterR-not the
same: so the consciousness of man is not the same consciousness;
the individual, the ego, has been changed from one day
to the next.
The thought in the mind of Buddha when he &Rked the
Brahman whether another man who thought and felt just as
he did, would not be the same man, was, evidently, tha' he
would be virtually the same. Aa we have often repeated in

former writings, and, as Swedenborg baa stated, all are members
of one body, and eacJa baa an especial function in that body.
Now, if our two eyes were exactly the same, they would alwa)'8
bring to our mind the same 00D10iousuesa. Again, io the spirit
world, where the ooneoioueneu ia of mind and not of body, if
two souls are ooneoious in the same realm or sphere of mind,
and in the same degree of that sphere, then their ooneciousneu
is identical. There may be many peraons thinking the same
thoughts and haring the same feelings at the same moment, in
which case there wonld be, for the time, no M'parate consciousness.
This would in no way militate againl4t the individuality
of aoy.
Buddha does not answer the quest.ion, neither does be at.
'8mpt to force the subject, but it is quite apparent that lie believes
that the two men would in reality be one, although not so
in physical form. (See verses 51 to 53, inclm1ive.) Thie would
be true if all there is of man were his conscioosneu, hie think·
ing, but there is something that tbinktJ. The whole universe
of space is full of unformed mind enbstance, which, in the
Yoga philosophy, ie called "mind stuff". Now, disaesociated
from every other quality or function in natnre, mind element
is powerless: there moat be something that is able to lay hold
of this mind etuff, form it. organize it, and thus utilize it.

which it is written. More than this, it is that something in
man that commands past thought to retum and it obeys him.
Not, however, like the modern occidental idea that, when the
thought is commanded to return, the brain takes it and formulates
it, but, vice versa, it enters the brain and vitali7.e8 it and
causes it to reform the thonght in the manner in whieh it was
originally formed. We hope that the reader will carefully examine
thi11 distinction, because it is nece88al'y to correct thought.
The Brahman's idea of the Samskaraa,• or of the existence
of something that created the form, is undoubtedly the true one;
but this something that created the form is not the soul-it is
that spark of Divinity which was explained t-0 Moses as the
name Yahveh, the will. Now, there is a will which is purely
of the animal existence, and which is the reflection or shadow
of the real will; but the real will lies behind. It is the cause
and is never the phenomenon. When even an animal is conceived,
that creative will lays hold of the astral life (the fountain
of life in which we live, as the fish live in the ocean), and
draws it into the organism of both male and female, and as
this living fire fills the organism, it enters the life element, the
seed, vitalizes it, carrie" it to its place, and there begins to construct
an organism. In that life is the germinal element of
this God principle or spirit, the will. In this will resides not
all power of itself, but the capacity to grow and become allpowerful,
like unto the source from whence it came, which
110urce i11 the God of the universe. (8ee Sept. number of The
Esoteric, Vol. 13.-"Knowing God.")
Now, Buddha was right in saying that, in holding to self,
one holds to death: as Jesus said:" He that loveth his life shall
lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall keep it
unto life eternal." The individuality or that which constitutes
the individual consciousness, is a thing of perpetual change.

THE B10Loo1cAL JouuAL. 95
As in Bndda's illustration of the flame of the lamp, not only
does the flame of the lamp disappear in space, retnrning to it&
former elements, bot the oil which causes the lamp to born, is
also disappearing and returning to its prime elements. So it
is with the thought of man and with that which causes the
thought.
Just here is a point of most difficult discrimination. We
have said that the will, the God part of man, is that which
holds, commands, and enables the individual to recall and rethink
his thoughts. It is that w hioh appears ptirmanent, but
it is not permanent, because, as the will of the Almighty, it had
a beginning in the individual, and becaUl8 it is susceptible
of growth and increase, therefore it is susoeptible of change.
The will active in the brute creation is the will of God toward
creation. Even so is the will of man who is still in generation,
and who does not live in truth or in true knowledge.
When a man begins to live in pure knowledge, a higher will
takes the place of the lower or animal will. Thus it becomes
poaaible for the soul to progress, grow, increase and unfold, so
that the soul that was once an animal, that was once the aamskara,
when it built only an animal organism, gradually passes
away through the processes by which the raal man grows
and develops. Now, this real man, or soul, like everything
else in the universe, is composed of thought element, and
as the habit of thought ch:iuges, the soul changes: as the
physical body is constantly taking on new flesh material
and throwing off the old, so is the soul constantly taking
on new thought element and will element and throwing
off the old. lt is taking on just that kind of thought
element that it habitually thinks Rbout. Consequently, if
a person thinks about things that are transient and fleeting,
about earthly things in whiah there is no absolute reality,
there can be no perpetuity of the soul, or mind, or individual

conciousness composed of theee elements. On the other hand,
if the mind is engaged in the consideration of, and in knowing
eternal truths, for truth is eternal, then the mind will become
like a flame emanating from a permanent or eternal fountain
of oil; the flame will never be extinguished, but will continue
to burn forever. The man who thinks and knows from the
transient things of earth, is like a flame arising from a limited
_fountain of oil, which ~ill burn until the fountain is exhausted,
when the flame will go out.
We should, therefore, bear in mind the fact that the real
self is made op of the soul or spiritual attractions, that like at.
tracts like, that the concious ego is the thought conciousness,
which is the phenomenon arising from that condition, and that
all that there is of self, both of soul, composition of soul-which
is first that marvelous something that we call the will-and
all the attributes of aoul, are constantly changing.• But when
the sympathies, loves and attractions manifest a desire for eternal
truth, there is a fountain of perfect knowledge that belongs
to the same realm as that to which the spiritual substance, the
will, belongs, and in so far as the soul is linked to that eodlesa
fountain, so far it is immortal. This immortality is that which
puzzled the Brahman and which has puzzled all thinkers from
the beginning to the present time. It is that immortality which
permits all that constitutes the individual, both soul and body,
to be constantly renewed. Those who bold to life with a love
of this selfhood, are holding to the effete matter that should
pass away and be replaced by higher elements. For illnstra-

tion of this thought, let us take a mau in the home in which
he was born and reared. He knows the things of that home
and its material surroundings, and that comprises bis consoiouaness;~but
let him leave his home and enter int.a a higher and
better sphere of thought and action, and he soou loses the oonsciousness
of his former associations, his old sympathies and desires,
and lives in the new conditions whiob then comprise the
new ooneoioueneu. Thus friends of our childhood, when met
in old ,age. are forgotten and not recognized. Then let us remember
that immortality consists in a continued conaoiousneae,
and that a continued consciousness consists of a dOol builded
from the reanlt of knowing. Here, underlying sonl, existence,
immortality, and everything that constitutes man, comes the
thought that use determines all qualities, whether good or evil.
Use becomes the incentive, the love, the desire; and the relation
of that use, if it be tO God, the First Cause, will place the
wick of. the burning lamp of existence in the eternal fountain of
life, and man will not only submi11&ively, but willingly and deairingly,
let go the past and take hold of the present and inoom·
ing future, and there rejoice in the fountain of the eternal new.
In order more fully t.o bring out the true nature of soul, we
agllin call attention to the fact that all spaca, throughout the
universe, is an ocean of unformed life. Every wol'ld in that
space is a mind organ for handling, so to speak, forming, that
mind element. The worlds are brain ganglia for thinking,
and forming the thought of the universe. Each individual life
upon those worlds is au individua1izetl nerve ganglion for specializing
thought in the uses rehtive to its world, and also in
tho uses relative t.o the universe. Its consciou~ness is by virtue
of the formation of thought. The growth of its own individuality,
soul consciousness, is hy virtue of that spiritual will which
holdff to and commands all its creation; for thought, vital
thought, is a creative pro~ess, and that creation not only comprise&
the individual, but it also comprises the individual's

world. This is what was undentood, in so far as it was
undentood, by the Buddha and Brahman, as Karma.
A soul that has lived a life in the body, has spent a time in
the work of creating, forming, and thus bringing into existence
powen and things; and when that soul returns, it must return
to that world that it has formed, where, because of added knowledge
through a life•s experience, it sees the erron, and calls in
the creative work and reforms according to its new and higher
knowledge. This it most continue to do until it has reached a
height of knowledge and understanding enabling it to build,
create, from the Spirit and by the Spirit of the All-Mind.
Thus, when the individual builds from and through the Spirit
of the All-Mind, he ceases to build for himself. Self is lost
sight of; he enters Nirvana, the Spirit of God, and builds by
that Spirit, and is no longer condemned to return and reform
that which he has built, for, having built from the Eternal
Spirit, his building is eternal. Not but what that which he has
built will go on growing and unfolding; yea, not bot what he
will, in the process of time, ·continue to add to and perfect
that which he has built; yet personal responsibility has passed
away, and all that he bni1ds is from supreme wisdom, and is,
therefore, very good. This is the condition of him that has
reached Nirvana, the realm of immortality.

Stat.es. But there is honor among thieves, and the thief who
is most honorable with his own people. lives nearest to their
standard of right, is most sympathetic and kind, and has the
broadest intellect, would be made king of thieves. He could
not, however. posseBB these qualifications unless he had established
a law for himself, a law which he believed to be right.
This brings us to another important point in the formation
of character,-that of establishing for one's self a law of right.
In doing this each individual finds himself in his own peculiar
sphere of thought, life, and society. Every cl&BB of people has
its own peculiar standard of right and wrong. That standard
becomes the law of that society or class, and if its members
live up to their own law, they are justified and respected by
their own law; but if they fail to live up to it, they are con.
demoed and looked down upon. Not only every class of people.
but every individual bas a law of right peculiar to himself, and it
is not safe for one person to adopt the standard of another, for,
from the cause side of life. every man is judged by his own law.
Therefore each one should form for himself a law by which he
wishes to be judged, both by men and by the God of creation.
-if you prefer, by the laws of nature. The matter of establishing
a law of right in one's own mind, is a subject that requires
long and careful consideration. It is the result of knowledge
and of gathered experitmce. In the case of a young per~
son just starting in life, the code must be far from complete;
he can, however, with his present knowledge and experience,
search out certain foundation principles upon which he can
rest with certainty, and let them become the foundation of his
character.
In forming this code for one's self, there are many things, not
commonly thought of• tha.t should be taken into consideration.
Every man's law is according to his own peculiar nature: no
matter bow honest and true his purposes, it is inevitable that

The great difficulty among men is, that the most of them have
no standard, and the few who have, are apt to set it so high, or
to make it of such a peculiar character. that they are unable t.o
live up to it. Thia mistake is most diaaatrous t.o one's suooeaa
in life, for two reasons: &rat, the anooessful man in the bUBineu
world is governed, t.o a greater extent than he is aware, by
intuition, a peculiar interior psychic perception, and if a man
is oondemning himself because he falls short of ooming np t.o
his law.of right, others will feel that there is something wrong
about the man and fail t.o pot the oonfidence in him that, perhaps,
is really due him. Again, if a person oondemna himself,
he is oondemned by the laws of God, the laws of nature, and
by the laws of hie own nature, which prevents him from having
faith in his own aucceaa.
Therefore, it should be remembered that every creature has
a law of right which is peculiar t.o itself, and which is right
for it. For example, the law of a dog's nature is t.o bark and
bite, the law of a cat's nature is to catch and kill the creatures
below it; that law t.o them is right. If we take the nobler order
of animals, the laws that govern the nature of a hone would
not be your law, although the same God created all. On the
other hand, yon are a man or woman living here on the earth
and your uses are here on earth, you are not yet an angel~ nor
a god; if yon were judged by the law of the nature of angels,
or by the law of the nature of God, yon would be condemned.
Then let your Jaw of right be adapted tc your sphere of usefulness
here among men. It is not necessary here t.o enter int.o
the principles of right and wrong, for the land is filled with
writings on morality, the equities of human life, etc., so that
none need be in the dark on these subjects. If righteousness,
justice, and truth be the standard of your life, and if you make
it the law of your life that these shall govern your conduct
under all circumstances, you will undoubtedly make a law that

will be moat righteous for you, and that law may oomprise all
the requisites for self-preservation, self-elevation, even to the
highest spheres of uaef nlne88 in the world; and men, angels,
and God will call you a righteous soul.
The more closely the law established for one's self, conforms
to the law of Uod, and to the law of creation, of nature in general,
the healthier, happier and more succe99ful one is; and the
key to the whole situation may be found in one word,-uss­
FULNE88. Tho thought embodied in this word is that which
governs God, angelti, and all the works of God in natnre. So
thoroughly does this principle rule, that nothing can exist very
long after it ceases to serve some use. We all know that if
we cease to use a muscle, it will leave us; if we cease to nee
our brain, we lose the capacity for using it. It is well known
to those on the cause side, and we are satisfied that it will be
generally understood, that as soon as anything in the universe
ceases to serve the use for which it was made, it quickly passes
into dissolution. All the laws of nature are so constructed that
everything that lives is required to make special effort in order
to perpetuate life. The laws of evolution ara such that all the
relations of man demand a useful life, a life of service; therefore
the greater the service that you can render your fellow man,
the more highly will yon be appreciated, the greater oonfidence
will he place in you, and your willingness and ability to serve
will open to you the highest spheres of service. The President
of the United States, the king or czar of a dominion, is so because
be is servant of all the people in hie dominion; and if he
ceases to serve the needs of the people, he is dethroned by rebellion
or eece88ion from his authority. Therefore, if you wish
to be honored by your fellow men with a place of trust and
authority, study-cultivate and prepare yourself for service,
and let your whole life and character be centered upon the one
thought,-to be of the greatest use to the greatest number,
wherever you may find yourself.

Perhaps you are a poor mechanic, or even a laborer: you
are disoontent.ed in your sphere of use; you feel that you
have greater abilities. Why do not those whom you are serv.
ing recognize those abilities? Simply, and for no other reason
than because your mind is centered upon a sphere of use beyond
the one which you occupy, and you fail in doing all that
you can in the present one. If you are working for another man,
study his interest& with even greater care and intensity than
you would your own. Do all in your power to benefit your
employer, and his own selfish needs will force him to recognize
your superior ability to serve him, which will cause him to pr~
mote you to a higher position. If you always fill the sphere
that you occupy so well as to demonstrate to your fellow men
your ability to fill a higher one, you will ascend the ladder of
usefulness and attainment so rapidly that yon will soon stand
at the head of your people or nation. All that is necessary
to qualify yourself for such sel'Vice is study, thought, careful
effort, and an honorable, self-sacrificing interest in another's
welfare as in your own. When we say self-sacrificing
interest, it is not nece11S&ry that you should sacrifice money and
all the essentials for the maintenance of self, for all men recognize
the law expressed by the Psalmist, who said, '"Men will
praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself." Again, we are
told that Jeans, the great Teacher, said, "And if ye have not
been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give
you that which is your own?" Is it not as much an evil to
wrong yourself as to wrong another?
A mistake that is often made at this point by an employee
is, that he is apt to demand more compensation for hill services
than be is able to command. The selfish interest& of all men
are their weakness. You can command all that you are worth
to your employer; for if your services are superior to anothar
man's, it will force your employer to fully compensate you. If
you make yourself so useful in whatever sphere you find your.
self, that another can not be more so, your services will be al.
ways in demand, and you will always command the highe1toom.

pensation. Bot let ueef olness be the first consideration and
compensation the second; that is, let your capacity for usefulness
be fully manifest before you make your demand for compensation,
and even then be wise in your demand. U you consider
another's interest as you would your own, you will realize
the great truth underlying the law expressed by the Nazarene
in bis sermon on the Mount, when he said, "Blessed are the
merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."
One more thought; namely, remember that every one i1 but
a man like yourself. No matter how much pomp, display, or
apparent superiority there may be manifest, you should recognize
Mone as your superior. If a man has superior ability,
in that be is 110perior, and in that only; but still he is only a
man, and so are you. Conquer all inclination to crouoh before
dignity. While we should be respectful, yet under all oiroum-
1tanoes we 1bould remember that we are men among men. If
you depreciate yourself, others will accept your depreciation
and plaoo you in the sphere to which your own appreciation
assigns you.

Born in the prophetic sign Sagittarius (the Centaur) and

men, with intuitional discriminations most remarkable and of

spirit of fidelity to duty and an ever-present sense, as a prophet,
of the need of lifting humanity into a larger comprehension of
earthly, as well as spiritual, privileges.

Upon this pervading basic principle of hia being, Uranus and
Venna in Leo moved with mighty power. His heart's emotions
were doubly atirred. Uranua took them op to the very top
of "the metaphy11ical mountain and enabled him to view the
promised land," in it.a true worth to hia fellows. Venus made
pore and ennobling his inherent love nature, and be never dwelt
upon anything lower than the purest oonjugality. Unitedly
they illuminated his whole aonl with the 6re of a holy seal.
Therein was the prophet-element aanctijied and made ready for
proclaiming t.o the world. When we add theret.o Jupiter in
Capricorn, we can readily see how quickly hia knees became
"the feet of prayer" and the power of a holy aspiration auerted
itself. With this remarkable foundation for action, we next
note how admirably he was equipped to express t.o the world in
fitting phrase the prophetic teaching laid upon him.
Saturn in Aries, Mercury in Taurus, and Mars in Gemini,
are indeed a wonderful trinity for our prophet, as they are each
in the intellectual trinity. Saturn spiritualizes and makes
orderly his mentality, and thus the fitting words readily flow
forth as a part of himself. Mercury was to him a "measenger
of the gods" along the line of the occult comprehensions, besides
vitalizing him physically; and so his illuminations became
tinged with the deeper thought of inspirational power, and hia
utterances were so spontaneous as t.o be like the outguahings
of a spring on the mountain side,-pure, abundant, and lifegiving.
.Mars made virile and versatile his every expression,
and his arms, physically, conformed t.o the interior earnestness
of his being.
Thus it is shown that the fire of his intellectuality, united
with the glow of his heart and the fiery power of the Centaur
(four in fire), in producing one of the noblest of men in pro·
claiming truth t.o the world in suoh a way that "though dead,

mentality of that great living organism which we term a planet,
and woman being its interior or subconscious mind. Consequently,
in tracing the consecutive steps of unfoldment as exhibited
by the planets in their present states of development,
we are following, step by step, the processes of evolution
through which each world, with its people, is destined to pass.
For example, as the ages roll on, Mercury wiU attain
the present development of Venus, when Venus will have
reached the point at which Earth now stands, Earth, in the
mean time, having ascended a step higher in the scale, and ao

it will be in the mons to oome. And although each world ia
oontinoally striving for the next higher at.ep in the planetary
scale, yet, in the perfect adjustment of the system, no two worlds
ever present a similar degree of unfoldment, such a contingency
would oooaaion a preponderance of a particular function
or quality in the organism of the Solar System.
Another great truth presents itself for closer consideration before
we can intelligently proceed with our subject, which is, that
the marvelous harmonies of creation progress in octaves, and
that each succeeding ootave appears to be a repetition in the
higher of what has occurred in the octave below. Jupiter marka
the termination of the great Solar Octave of which Earth is
now a part, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, belonging to the octave
above our own. Doubtlt!ss every one opening to the higher
thought, is willing to admit that the principle of life, of formulation.
is force, energy, electric potency. Now, when that which
has been formulated by the life currents, or lines of force, acti
vein the 09tave terminated by Jupit.er, reaches the degree of
unfoldment at present exhibited by Saturn, there will occur a
reversal of its lines of construction, or the lines of force or energy
which are the principle of its life and form, the result
being a subTersion of the established order of life; in other
words, transmutation does its perfect work. Hence the ancient
myth of Saturn, the destroyer, devouring his progeny (the
younger members of the Solar family).•
This process of tearing down, in a certain sense, all that
has been done below, makes Saturn the initial planet, or the
--rhese papen are n-118rilJ brief, and the thought under consideration, that of
evolution in it.a broadest eeme, ia ao abaolutely comprehensive, that it ia impoleible
to do more than pre8ent the menll!t outline of the planeary acheme. It ii, therefore.
1nfticient to eay, that the worlds of the octave now claiming our attention, have
llri.ien to their preeent evolutionary statue by palling through a n-1011 of OOD•
etantly ucending octavee; and when, in the faU- of time, they mount beyond
the harmoniee to which their vibrations are now attuned, they will be keyed to
the octave next beyond; from that they will p- to the uext, and IO up, up, until

Mercury, of the octave of existenoe next beyond our own, where
the story of the preoediug one is repeated. In that upper realm,
Uran us holds the place of Ven us in the lower. The legend is
that Venus "sprang from the foam of the sea (the psychic
whirl of the great ocean of astral life), into which the mutilated
part of Uranus had been thrown by his son Saturn," a sym.
bolic statement of the identity of the two worlds in their respective
octaYeiJ, at the same time reference being made to the
activities of Saturn, who is preparing the way for U raniau
conditions.
In the consideration of color, we find our own octave completed
when we reach the Indigo, the upper half of the Jovian
color (or colors), the violet being but a repetition of the
Mercurial red in the higher octave, an octave of color built
upon the blue base furnished by the culminating blues belong·
ing to Jupiter, of the octave below.
As the highest note of their own octave, .T upiter is the goal,
the objective point, of the planets below him. Of what lies
beyond they know nothing, exoept that it means the beginning
of the new and higher, built upon the ruins of the old.
While it is true that Jupiter is the objective point of all
the worlds below him, yet only those are capable of an intelligent
recognition of their goal, who have passed beyond the
first half of the present cycle of development-the achievement
of individuation as found upon Venus-and have well entered
the second, working toward the solidarity of the race. An explanation
of this fact appears in the totally opposite character
of the results to be accomplished during these two periods. In
the first instance, Evolution bends every effort toward the task
of separation. 8he first separates, from the ocean of universal
life, the elements necessary to the organism whioh she is about
to build; and when built, she disassociates, separates it, more and
more, from the great vibrating currents out of which it has
arilen, and, at the same time, e3tablishes for it an existence

oontinually more independent of, or separate from, that of
other members of its race. The second half of the octave, or
cycle, finds her working just as diligently to unite the consciousness
of this being, make him one with, the higher mind or life
element toward which he is ascending, and to link him to
his fellows, drawing the ties ever closer.
Consequentl_v, the very natnre of the activities of the first
half of the octave, preclude any conception on the part of its
people of what lies beyond them in the second stage of their
experience. It is not until a race has passed beyond the degree
of development characterizing the present status of Venue,
and has made very sensible progress in its Earth life ( instituting
the p1·ocesses of the second grand division of the planetary
octave) that it is prepared to receive any intimation of the
myr-teries involved in the goal of unification now set before it.
When, however, the time has arrived, it receives a formulation

transcendent that, after the lapse of nearly two thousand years,
the few are beginning dimly to perceive something of their
meaning-something of what is held by the number FOUR,
which appears traced in such bold characters, from the beginning
of organization upon our Earth to the flaming presence
of Jupiter, that gigantic world toward which we are but just
turning with a dim perception of its true relation to aspiring
worlds below.
Aa do all great truths when they receive embodiment in
word.form, The Name, this corona of light, this culmination
of all the light that bas ever come to the world, contains within
Itself Its own geometrical statement. Not only so, but It is a
word belonging to on:e of that ancient family of languages that
swing with the Solar, the vital, currents, from right to left, from
circumference to center, thus following the mighty aweep of the
thought that moves directly toward the Great Center of all truth;
in contradistinction to modern languages, vehicles of thought
whose course is from left to right, toward a circumference of
ever-widening dimensions, until-given over to detail, specialization-pages,
chapters, I had almost said, volumes, are insufficient
to convey the mighty force of truth with which a single
letter of those earlier languages is sometimes freighted. And
so only those are able to know anything of the real significance
of The Name, who have received the illumination which enables
them to read the interior meaning of each of the four
mystic letters. The translator renders the whole, "/will be
what I will be," but to know what we will be, the imp11rt of
each of The Four Letters, must enter the soul as living fire.
For, as The Name, formulated and sent forth into the life currents
of the planet, brought into manifestation the Savior of
the cycle, so, in proportion as there comes to the soul an understanding
of its ea.cred mysteries, there will roll into the consciousness
the potencies of the unspeakable possibilities belong-

ing to the culmination of the octave of worlds-potencies which
will make of that individual one of the saviors of his race:
through him will pass out into the world the tranaforming flres
for which the planet is now being rapidly prepared-"And
saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of
Esau; and th~ kingdom shall be Yahveh's" (Ob. 21).
All this may seem far in advance of the present stage of
our subject, but it has been well to gain a general idea of the
Solar Octave which we are examining, and to know where to
look for ita highest note.
In the realm that we are about to enter, we find the harmonies,
from the beginning to the end of ita great symphony, set
to the key of aggregation; solidarity, the idea of unity, runs
through the whole, and its rhythm is marked by the ever-present
FOUR. Nor does nature oontent herself, in this her effort
toward unification, with the grand ultimate set before her in
which individuality 6.nds each its own place in the planetary
man, that wonderful orgauiam, which, in a sense, allows the
units of which it is composed an individualized existence.
Her work of unification begins with the very opening of the
second half of the octave, and runs through its entire course,
so that eaeh individual incorporated into the ultimate structure,
represents in his own organization a great number of lives of
the lower orders, which have been blended into his own to
make up its completeness. And what is true of the units of
the race, is true of a planet itself, in its ultimate place at the
culmination of the solar octave-we cannot disassociate the
history of a planet from that of its people, individually or collectively.
When we consider the gigantic dimensions of the blazing
auns everywhere around us in the universe, those centers of
systems of worlds, beyond which they have advanced so far in

the scale of evolution;• when we remember the size of our own
aun, "outweighing seven hundred and forty times the combined
mass of all the planets that circle around him,"t and of
Jupiter, ao far exceeding the size of the worlds below him, how
can we fail to perceive that the law of aggregation is at work
in planetary life and experience aa surely aa it is found in the
world of life at our feet, where such numbers of leaser lives go
to make the oompleteneu of the larger?
"Aa below, so above;" if the myriads of tiny entities, even
in the inaeot kingdom, 1hould each maintain a separate existence
aa they riae in the acale of being, how could such a vast
number of individuals ever obtain a standing upon a single
planet? And when we add to these the far greater number of
little live1 found in the waters of our world, not including in
our estimate the bird and animal kingdoms, we see that the
economy of nature demands that the individuality of the higher
be built upon an aggregation of individuals lower in the scale
of life. Now, there is but one code of law throughout the uni·
verse; there does not exist one for the higher plane CJ of existence
and another for the lower, we ml.y safely boue all premises
upon the Hermetic axiom just quoted, "As below, so above;"
therefore planetary existence, as do other forms of life, advances
by a continuous aggregation of the lower organism s
(planets) to·make up the superiority of the higher.

the entire ay.t.em, and that it la a magnet of auch anperior order aa to be the «•

And, further, could we eliminate the principle in question

become ao interminable, that time would have to. be changed
into eternity to produce even that around us which ia palpable
to the aensea, leaving out of oonaideration life upon the higher
planes, where growth ia proportionately slower. Forced, therefore,
to the oonclnaion that aggregation, in its var ions forms
ia a necessary law of existence, and having entered that particular
division of the evolutionary octave, where life ia snfllciently
advanced for this law to aaaert itself, our task mnat be to trace
its ever.Nidening course, beginning with the blending of the,
organisms at our feet, until its mighty current engulfs planets
and planetary· races.

"Thought has a character and value in and through itself, aa
an agent for destructive or constructive force, manifested in
the vital operations of nature." By constructive thought is
meant the self-conscious employment of the mind in the attain·
ment of progressive ends. Such thinking assists the development
of the object of thought. If things were affected only by
constructive thought, perfection would soon be reached. But
constructive thought has its opposite, destructive thought. This
keeps in check the good effects of constructive thought. There
is, however, a point of contact of these two opposites. The
state of mind forming the connecting link is known as the passi
ve state. But though this state is neutral, it gives destructive
thought a chance for a foot.hold, the passive mind often becoming
the dtistructive mind.

122 CORRESPONDENCE.
Journal came t.o my desk to.day. I am much int.ereeted in your
work, and your literature is something tha.t I have longed for
in the past.
Not until a little over a year ago did one of your pamphlets
come t.o my notioe, and then by chanoe. When I t.ook hold of
of your writings, I felt that I had found a long lost friend.
I was particularly pleased with the delineation of the Sagittarius
body in this number, having this sign rising at the
time of my birth. I could hardly suppress a smile when I
read, "Its inclination is t.o a military life." This is a characteristic
of my nature that I have never confided t.o my closest
friend. Not with me, however, t.o be a soldier and carry a musket-but
t.o command; that is it!
"Forward the Light Brigade;
Charge for the guns," be said.
How those lines thrill me, through and through. I abhor war
and combat, and would not injure a fellow man; yet my home
is in the midst of a heated trial,-t.o carry forward, by for11e,
the right.
Whatever I accomplish is by force-force of logic, force of
action. With me there is no such thing as rest-I am always
doing something. Jupiter in Aries gives me high ideals, and
with the activity of my Sagittarius nature, I can accomplish
what I undertake. There is one drawback in my nature,-!
froquently underestimate my ability t.o do a thing. Then the
thought comes t.o me, "I can do that; why, certainly!"
I love t.o read the lives of the great c~mmanders of the past,
in the physical and int.ellectual arena. In my earlier school
days I lived with Napoleon, W&Rhington and Grant, Nelson,
Decatur and Farragut. My mind runs hack to stirrin~ scenes.
I can see Napoleon in Egypt, fighting battles beneath the shadows
of the pyramids; I saw him oonq11e1• the Alps and mingle
the eagles of France with the eagles of Italy; I saw him escape
from Elba and retake an empire by the force of his genius; I
saw him at Waterloo, where fate and chance combined t.o wreck
the fortunes of the former king. And I see that great conflict

at Trafalgar, where Nelson destroyed Napoleon'• power on the
sea-I see that patriotic emblem flaunting from the masthead
of the flagship, "England expects every man to do his duty."
And yet, with all this, I have a desire for the stillness of
God: to be away from men and the conflict-to muse upon the
destiny of men, and explore the universe in which we live.
I think I have .. given away'' more of my real &elf than ever
before, and I trust that it will help you in studying the Sagittarius
man. He is, perhaps, a peculiar fellow, full of "ginger,"
though quiet until the time of action arrives. At any r~te you

in1 I had turned my faoe directly to the Wett, oloaing myeyea
that I might not be duzled. .My whole mind and heart were
oonoentrated in that deaire to know, t.nd after inbreathing
three or four times, I wu atartled by a vision of the SQQ, a
dark aphere of a dnll brown oolor, mountaina and valley• being
dimly diaoernible, and apparently deeper in color than the
plains, which were of greater extent than the moontaiDB. The
mountaina aeemed very high, and the valleya were, apparently,
only on the W eat of them. The orb or globe itself wu much
1maller than I would have judged the sun to be, appearing to
me to be the aize of a large china waab-bowl, as it looks when
one ia leaning over it.
Around the globe wu a circle of about ftve inches in width,
of what appeared to be apace, but which I suppoae must be atmosphere.
At any rate that 1paoe was perfectly clear and
transparent. Out.aide of this ring of nothing was the halo of
color, red-not cardinal, but flame color. There was no dis.
tinot line of mergement int.o the vut expanse of apace that surrounded,
but the sun-red, or ~ame-color, melted irregularly in.
t.o the surrounding space, which did not appear clear and tran1-
parent, like the oirole immediatly around the orb or globe,
but slightly milky.
Pleaae remember that it was not a prolonged vision, but an
almoat lightning glanoe, and not with my physical eyes, but
with my soul's eyes. And while I saw, a voioe said, "The light
and color of the aun are its aura, produced by the emanations
from the planet, just as the aura of individuals is caused by
their thoughts, emotions, and acts. At this point the ego, the
me, with unpardonable levity, exclaimed, ''Why, the people up
there must all be red-headed I"
The vision was gone; I opened my eyes, looking up at the
pale moon as I did ao. The voice aaid, "Yes, the moon's light
and color are caused in the aame way, and your earth baa its
aura too; but those living on it cannot perceive it. They can
1ee it from other planets."

By looking at the datee at the beginning of thia le'*8r, it will
be noticed that the vision occurred on the 16th of September,
1899, and that the aooount of it, from which I oopy verbatim,
waa written Sunday, September 18, 1899, I haring hastened
to &et it down in black and white,· leat some part of it might
grow dim in my mind. All daring the week ~followed,­
lhatia, from the 17th to the 24th,-I thought yery often of my
vision, and apoke of it to thoae around me.
After the aurpriae and a.we of it bad lost their flrat foroe,
and curiosity became aotiYe, I deaired to know the oolor of
earth's aura. Curioeity became dulled, and a aolemn, inteD&e

METHODS OF OULTURE.
We of the W estem world who are seeking attainment
throogh knowledge of 11piritual power. and are in touoh with
the various sohools of metaphysioal oult. are thorou~hly acquainted
with the statement. "Thought.a are thingR." Whatever
may be the diversity of the soh~Ja in l'flgard to other pointR,
all agree on this one propo11ition, amounting to a fnndamentRl
statement, that thoughtR are creative. Jn oirolea and andiencea
of Mental or Chri11tian SciPntistR who meet for oonnt'lntration or
for healing, we are anr.uRtomPd to hflaring from the leRden the
words. "Let UR hold this thonir;ht." P&ll&ing on to the Orient,
we find the proposition thAt .. thoughts Are thin"'" oompletely
contradicted, and the mAthod of attainment quite the reverse of
"holding a thought." He.re we are taught that our first et?ort
moat be in the direotion of ailenoing and dismi88ing all thought.a,
as well as words and forms. We are given to understand that
it is a diftioult proceu, but of the greatest necessity to our advancement
in spiritual knowledge.

practice, from one who had made attainment in the Spiritual
Life. The first words that we heard him speak revealed to us
that we were in the presence of one possessing superior quali.
ties, and altogether worthy of the title of "Master." Not satisfied
with the t.eachings of Hinduism or of Buddhism, he had
journeyed to England, and there hail thoroughly acquainted
himself with the English language, and the Cbri~tian Scripture.
He folly accepted its teaching &.'4 the moat enligbt.Aned
in the world, and proceeded to write a oommentary upon some
of the books of the New Testament, superior to any that we
have ever read. since his deep insight into the interior life enabled
him to grasp the deep meaning of the spiritual writing.
A "Master" in India, is one who never refuses to give aill
and instruction when requested to do so. In our first quiet
interview, when we were asked to state what had been our
method of practice and what we bad been able to aooompliab,
our answer, as given in substance as a starting point was,
that we could "hold a thought almost indefinitely." It seemed
quite shocking in reply to hear, after so many ·yea.1'8 of effort
in "holding thonghta," and with 1moh marked effeot.1 in the
healing of disease: "It is a usele88 prooeaa, and will not bring yon
into the power and wisdom you desire. Let your fixed effort

132 METHODS OF CULTURE.
I frankly confeas that, aft.er making several efforts, I failed
to reach the much desired goal. I think the West.ern mind and
life, both subjt>,ctively and ancestrally, are in a shte of aotivity,
externally, far more difficult to overcome than are the
~astern. I doubt if it is possible for any one to make the
attainment, who lacks anoe11tral discipline in thi11 particular
direction, that the Hindu mind po118e8ses. I believe th11.t
our modes of training mnst be different from theirs, as onr
manner of living seems to be, in almost every particular.
However, I only give this as an opinion. There may he those
in the Western world, who have already made the attainment,
though I have never met any one who has made the claim of
this acquirement. To me this is not in the least discouraging,
and I draw from it this lesson: We are not tQ apply ourselves
too closely to following methods of culture that have been
worked out by other lives, but rather seek to find the key that
will unlock our own dungeon, that we m11oy throw open the
doors and let the sunlight pour in npon us. There is a direct
road leading from each individual to God, 1LDd our sure11t
method will be in turning from all other paths to find this one.
Shut out for a time all preoonceived ideas and rules that ha.ve
been given, while the mind is held open for its individual instruction.
It will surely come, if the heart be pure and the
purpose steadfast. If all evil practice be cut &Aide, and the life
be unreservedly dedicated to a high and holy purpose, the illumination
will not be withheld, and it may oome wh.en the eyes
are wide open and the faculties are alert; when the mind and
hands and feet are active in some useful employment, and the objective
perceptions are folly awake to the beant.iP& of M"eation.
There is no limit to the ways of the inflowing Spirit: no
hard and fast methods, that one is obliged to follow in finding
the Father's house,-the kingdom within. There is only one
requisite; that is, to torn the faoe toward the light, and away

from darkness; to distinctly draw the line between death and
life, and serve the one Master. Between seJflahnesa and serrioe
there is a great gulf fixed. We muat abide on one plane or
the other, there is no interchange between the two. The deliberate
and fearless choice of'selfteaaness will inaure the req- ·
nRite aids to the sure place of knowledge, and of its fnllneu,­
illumination.
For my own part, I am deeply indebted to the "form of
sound words" for my guidance upon the true path. The repetition
of them to me is like a fortreaa of protection, or, greater
still, it iit like an electric wire, leading to a battery of 1uppl7,
through meant of which, by touching it, I am brought in contact,
and faith, strength and subetanoe are increased; a light
flashes out acroR8 my path, and I again see the way before me,
and take courage. The power of thought i11 still to me the power
of the electric wire, leading to the fountain, where is supply.
But in no OMe would I separate thought and action. A few
moments in the silflnoe are enough to insure direction, which
means the performance of the highest duty.
I know that there are many wl\ys leading to a oonaoiou1me11S
of Eternal Light and Life, which is what we really want to
find, and I have no criticism to make npon any of the means
and methods adopted by earnest di&0ipl68 of Truth, in their
different ways and leadinr; but I am so in love with the world
in which the Creator has placed me, and 8o appreciative of its
worthiness as my abode, so thankful and satisfied with the
temple that has been given me to inhabit, that it is with diftl.
culty that I close my eyes ud become inactive for many moments.
It is a joy to think of it all, and I still adhere to the
power of thonght,.;_the power of conveying thought into action,
the power of e:s.pre88ion, only eliminating and ''silencing" any
morbid negations of health, strength, wisdom, love and happiness,
here-now-to-day. M. A.

WHAT IS OOOULTISM?
The study of the oooult, or an effort in that direction, eeem1
to be almost a mania at the present time; it is a fad, and yet·
among all its students there are few who have anything like a
oorrect idea of what they are seeking. Moat of them think
that there is something that they can learn, either from th.,
old books or from some master, which, in some mysterious way,
will give them oooolt or magical powers. Thie is as erroneous
u it would be to think that a man of great physical 11trength
oould tell another how to beoome as strong u he. and that the
telling would impart the strength. Everything that belongs
to the occult or magic.'.al is a matter of growth and 11low development.
Oooultism is, first, a correct understanding of the laws
of nature; second. an nndentaudinit of one's own n1.ture; third.
an application of method11 by which C!ertain powPn and facmltiee,

reality, all that there is of magio power comes from a weU
developed will, and a mind so cultivated that it c.'\n think and
feel whatever it wishe11 to think and feel. and so focalized that
it can think or feel one thing a.11 long as it desires; in other
words, it is the faenlty of conoentration of the mind and will.

enable them to influence and affect othen, regardleu of the
space between them and those whom they wish to influenoe.
The beginning of the practical use of magic in America wu
Mn. Eddy's Christian.Science treatments. She, as well as
many who followed her direotly or indireotly, came reasonably
to the oonolmion that, if they oould heal the di88&11e8 of an
individual At a distance and change his mental action. they
could also produce disea.sed oonditions in others. They likewise
oonclnded that if they could change the mind and remove
diseased oonditions, they could also influence people to patronize
them and to send them money; in short. that they oould usB
these powers to claim wealth. Thia is the beginning of what was
anciently known as .. black magic" simply because it was the occult
powers set in motion for the gratification of the selfish
desires of the individual, or for the gratifi"1'tion of vengeance
upon 110me one who bad angered him. There i1 at the pl'ellent
time almoRt as much of thiR at work among so-called mental
healer11 of the difftirent schools aa there is of what was ancient.
ly termed "white magic." which meama simply, in contradistinction
to the hlack, that the power is used for the benefit of
others, and, in a gt!neral sense, in an un11el6sh manner.
When we commenced the publication of The Esoteric years
ago, the Bluatsky work anJ so-called Tbeo15ophy had begun to
attract pnhlic attentinn, and they hail even then discovered that
the powers of magic resided in the will, or, in other words, that
itii foundation wa11 in psychological influence, and we were often
asked to write on that subject. We refused, however, knowing,
as we did, the wonderful powers resident there for evil and
the oomparatively small degree of power for good, if placed in
the bands of the general public. But any cult that will pay

l'he evil of p11yuhologioal intluenoe. which, u we have stated,
is the basis of magio, is that it is ooercive of the will of an

the disposition of its object. It does not matter whet~er the
purpose in the mind of the operator ia good or evil, if it takes
control of the will and disposition of another, it must of
neoeuity be foreign to the real nature of that individual, for
no two people are alike; therefore the motive power not being
in harmony with bis own nature, it cannot expresa it in a normal
manner, so that, sooner or later, his real diRposition will
gain 1officient direotive power over the influence projected
into him to beoome a guiding force. Now, the animal propen·

Now, the element.ala are known to be the lowest foroes of nature,
or nature spirits. They are the embodiment of all Ute lost,
evil passions, and evil tendencies of the race of mankind. In
order that these elementals may serve an individual, they moat,
at least in the lower phaaes of magic, be served by the individual
in exchange for their help. For instance, we are told that
a certain leading occultist became angry with a person and
inrore that she would kill him through space. Thia was one of
the princip.l'l teachers of the Oriental magic of the Oooident. If
the elementals, vicious and wicked as they are sapposed to be,
were obedient to the will of thia individual, they woald give
all their powers to the execution of her will to kill the one
with whom she was angry. If it were the disposition of the
penon to nae the occult powers, claimed to be posseaed, by
oootinuous. fooalization upon the object of her anger and by
a certain kind of suggestions, it might e&U88 him a great deal
of annoyance, and if he were weak-minded and believed that
magic power oould kill him, it would probably do so.

directly or by the laws of thought transference-impl'eBBions
upon the mind of one that evil is being directed
against him through the powers of magic-if he realizes the
fact that no power can touch him. and simply ignores the
suggestions; for magic power can have no effect. if it be simply
ignored. On the other hand, if the person keeps thinking about
it and believes the magio workers can control him and aooomplish
their designs, he will bring abo11t the evil results by his
own volition and thought; in other words, there is no power
outside one's own self that ever was or ever will be known to
the magic-working people, that can injure another. The only
injury that can be wrought is upon the weak-minded one who
is made to believe that be is being injured in a certain direo.

influence passively. For insta.nce, I knew a colored man in
Springfield, Maas., years ago, who through meutal-sugi;eation,
blaok magic, was made to believe that his eyes were abut perfectly
tight and that be oould not see. That impression never
left his mind for a moment, and, consequently. be went about
the streets totally blind, with hie eyes closed, and he remained
in that condition for years; in faot. I do not know but that he
ba'I been under that belief up to the pre:1ent time. The faot
remains, however, that no one can be affected by another, unless
by his own volition. All phenomena produced by psychologioal
influence come directly under this head; and no one
can be psycbologized unless he surrenders his will to another.
Therefore the esRential thing on the part of the individual is
to strengthen the will power, to cultivate self-confidence and
eelf-rfllliance, and parents should teach this to their children;
for thereby the coming wave of black magic, now beginning
to sweep over the civilized world, can be made powerless.

USEFUL INSTRUCTIONS.
(NEW PRACTICAL Mrruons.)
IV.
In punuance of the thought that we have been just considering,
that we should walk and live among men as their peen
in every particular, we should be not only apparently equal to
them in all things, but should see to it that in moral habits,
uprightness of life, in our thought, comprehension of knowledge,
we are not inferior to any one. In order to accomplish this, it
may be necessary for some, yes, many, who have not had proper
drill and culture during their childhood, to develop in themselves
a condition of positive perseverance, energy, and self-control.
First, we must comply with nature's law, which is, that form
expresses character and mental state.-, and that form also produces
character and mental stateR. These things are always
interactive. For illustration, if a person walks about with his
chest drawn in and bis head down, be lacks energy and force,
and will realize that there is in the mind a peculiar stupor, a
consciousness of incapacity, of weakness. Ou the contrary,
if be moves forward with his chest thrown out, abdomen drawn
in, shoulders back, and bead erect, he will produce in himself
a consciousnesR of power, energy, activity, health and vivacity.
Not only is such a couRciousness produced by a proper position
of the phylfical body, but that consciousness itself is intensified
by the mental states of others, who, when they see a
man with bis head up, shoulders back, and sternum to the front,
recognize that the man is alive with energy; they are impressed
with an idea of bis inherent power and general ability, mental
and physical, and they reflect that thought upon his mind,

which stimulates in him lib oonditiom, and enables him to
m&Difeet them. It is a law in nature that if one tab& the
form of an effect, the spirit of that form will flow into him
and oreate similar oonditiooa.
A thought in this ooooeotion, which is, perhaps, not oommooly
reoogoised, is the powerful influence of other minds upon
the mental and phyaioal states of an individual. The wave of
miocl-be&liog that is now sweeping over the land. baa brought
to the front the importanoe of holding right thoughts ooooerniog
others, in order to help and strengthen them. On the other
hand.if we wish others to hold right thoughts ooooeroiog ourselves,
we mnat appear right in all our external life; for no
matter how kindly dispoeed a person may be toward us, if we
hold a wrong attitude of mind and maoifeet a wrong appear·
anoe, he oaonot avoid thinking of us as he sees us, and his
thoughts beoome to us a psyohio suggestion and a potent
energy in the production of error. A.gain, if one walks with
a swaying motion, from side to side, an impl'elllioo of carelessnns
is made upon the mind of the obaerver; and, in like manner,
every oondition manifested by us in peouliarities of motion.
is impreued upon the minds of others, who, in turn, reflect the
impl"ellion upon our own mentality. And further, no one can
walk with a swaying motion, as if his limbs were looee and had
no energy in them. nnleu I.here really exists within a feeling
of weaknees, Taoillation, indecision, a deficiency of ftrmneu. of
direotioo of pnrpoee. Therefore, every one should make it a
rule of life to walk straight, to move directly forward. keeping
a oonaoionaneu of strength of will and power of purpose active
in the body as well as in the mind. When yon undertake to
do a thing, aot with a will, with decision and precision; for it

relaxation and weakneaa. (More in this oonneotion will be
given further on.)
There are poisons enongh in the atmosphere by whiob we
are surrounded, to destroy the body in one week, if the resisting
power of the mind and will were not kept active, there is poison
enough in the food that we take at every meal to destroy the
body, if the resisting power were not kept active; therefore the
neceseity of cultivating the will of resistance, which is properly
the will of energy, arising from a oonaoionanees within one's
self of power to do and accomplish.
Just here we meet that to which we have before referred as
faith in our ability. The man who suooeeds in life is the man
who feels that he bu within himself the power to succeed, and
that nothing is able to hinder him; he is the one who makes up
bis mind to go forth oonquering all obstacles. Such a pel'80n
is immediately recognized among bis fellows by bis movements,
general form and bearing; by the form of bis thought and manner
of expreeeion. He always speaks decidedly in regard to
matters that he has thought over and decided upon-not only
decidedly, but confidently, almost defiantly. At the same time,
the man of wisdom and true mentality so guards his words that
they are never offensive, harsh, or arrogant. The voice should
be modulated to suit the occaeioo, let it be what it may. There
is no power in the univarse like that quiet, harmonious, wellordered,expreesion.
It should be remembered that, not only are our words the
expression of our thoughts, but that every movement we make,
every gesture, including our manner ·of walking, the position
of the body and the bead, are all the e:xpreuion of the interior
activities of the mind. Our military academies and other
schools of drill, but eepeoially the military schools, while per.

the body, in teaching them how to walk, how to stand, right
gestures in expressing thought, and, in short, in insisting upon
the cultivation of a right appearance under all circnmetancea.
The motions taught, however, are chosen in view of the profeeeion
for which the student is supposed to be preparing himeelf,-that
of a warrior. The warrior, of course, is the man of
conquest, supposed to be the conqueror. Our life is a continual
conquest, from early infancy to declining age there is no period
of man's life in which the work of conquest iii not necessary to
hie existence; consequently, it is generally recognized that no
college now in existence, imparts to the student so important
a line of culture and development a.a our military academy.
Nevertheless, in all schools for education and development
of mind and body, there is nothing taught or practiced but
what has been the result of the recognition of nature's laws.
These methods have largely originated in the inherent instinct
of the child: its play is simply a series of gymnastics, of
methods for mental and physical development. In the play of
children associated· together may be found, not only the methods
taught in our colleges-in a state imperfection, howeverbut
also those practiced by the pugilist and in the animal
phases of life.
The object of this line of instructions is to present methods
by which the higher faculties of the mind and soul
of man may be brought into activity. and by which the
body, which is the expression of man's interior self, may be
properly drilled and taught to express the highest impulses and
noblest characteristics; therefore we would suggest that the
young men and women who are seeking the highest mental
and physical spheres of existence, organize for the purpose of
taking a drill in military movements. If throughout the
country there were organized societies of high-minded young
men and women, whose fixed purpose was to elevate all the

powers within them, they could adopt all known methods
for self-cnltnre and development, have regular perioda for military
drill, gymnastic and Delaarte exerciaes. and, in abort, incorporate
into their exerci888 every available means for developing
the body and mind. If each mind were intent upon oontribnting
ita part of knowledge, of culture and methoda for
aeoompliebment, such an organization would aoon grow into
one of the grandest institutions for individual development
known to the world at the present time.
This thought of conquest, active in the child life and in the
life of the young man of knowledge and power, when carried
into every department of life, is the source of growth and
development. One of the principal reasons why men oease to
grow and develop and begin to decline with age, is that the
buoyant energies are allowed to relax and diminish; and with
the diminution of the spirit of conquest in the individual
comes ossification and the manifestations of age, and finally
death. Whereas if the penon would recogni7.e these activities
ae one of the potent factors in his onward course, and would
so live as to cause these hopea, Mpirations, and effort.a (the
work of conquest) continually to grow within the breast, age
and decay might be held off, perhaps for centuries. The
thought of immortality in the hotly ia now beginning to assert
itself in many 111inds, and if it is ever attained-and we
believe that it will be attained-this thought that we are endeavoring
to impress upon the reader will be one of the prime
factors in the preservation of the human family. The idea of
conquest over the adverse foroes of life and attainment should
be carried into methods for keeping the body free from disease.

It will fint be noted that the Earth was in Caprioorn, and
the Moon in Libra at his birth. (See cirole.)
The pedestal opon which he stood and looked out upon the
world, at the outset of his earthly career, was thus typified ou~
wardly by the goat and physioally by the knees.
His polarity in Libra-the Seales-adds mental balance to
his strong aspirational nature, and unitedly they lay the foundation
for the wonderful career which followed. Therein aspiration
and intuition clasped hands. The kneett, which could
have been used in getting down, were only used in climbing up.
They became always .. the feet of prayer.''
The great planet Jupiter. also in the sign Libra, brings physically
and metapby11ieally an immense power to bear upon his
every st.ep in life. The ideality which always attends Jupiter's
position finds expres!lion here in the seat of. the intuitions, and
thereby all bis work is along the line of that ideal fineness

and the Philoaopber an inevitable part of hia being.
But Mr Gladatone had Mara in Virgo, whieh waa, indeed,
aomething to oTeroome. Many would h&Te allowed the enemy
of good digeation and fine diacrimination to have aU.ped their
lives somewhat, but the metaphysical and intuitional rose triumphant
above it, and Man was oonquered.
With Venus in the aign of Taurus, he wu endowed with a
true love of the oooult as well as fine brain power. It wat.ered his
life, a stream of unmeasurable fertility, of interior and subtle
power, whereby hia expresaiona in his apeecbea were oftentimea
almoat beyond the immediate comprehension of bia liatenera.
Mercury-as Meeaenger of the Goda-was exoeedingly
important to him in the sign Cancer. In a physical sense it
made him strong in long power, and thus vitalized his entire
being. In a metaphyeical sense it opened the door widely into
the Holy of holiea in the domestic aphere, and home becomes
aacred onto him. The history of his life att.ests thia. His wife'•
devotion to him, amid all bis long, varied, and pressing mental
labors, was keenly appreciated by this wonderful man, and
found its basia largely in his inherent love of home and family.
The busine88 trend of his nature f1·om his Capri,-orn birth,
when combined with this equal trend toward the home and all
that it implies, broadened his life into genuine atat.esmanship
for the maaaes. Although Queen Victoria desired to knight
him, be felt, like our own Lincoln, that bia duty was to be the
"Great Commoner" and thus act with and for the people.
Called and recalled to be Prime l\1 iniater of the U oited Kingdom,
he felt always that, as one of the tribe of J odah "the gov.
ernment was upon his shouldera," and both conscience and
judgment were exercised for the amelioration of humanity.
His aapirations and acholarly attainments enabled him

One thought, however, ahould be recognized, and many people
will soon aooept it, which is, that the only evil in the world ia
good perverted, and that the God principle within the human
family being very good, by perversion may become very evil,
the very devil. When, in the many advanced-thought magazines,

tion forcing itself upon me, that they are using the wrong
words. In many cases it would be more truthful to say, "l, am
devil;" for it is the work of the devil, or adversary, to promulgate
error and to deceive the people into following their appetit.ea
and paaaions. That there is a foundation of truth in
this declaration, there can be no doubt, bot that foundation is
like the familiar saying. "The oak is in the acorn." But is
the oak in the acorn? Stop and think. Take an aoorn, and,
if you please, water it, but keep it away from the earth and

a diminutive germ, and that little germ oannot grow nnlea it
reoognizes the f onntain from whenoe it came and reaobea out in
eoul yearning and desire, prayer, to that sonroe that it may livo
and grow from the snbstanoe of Divinity. It is a universal law
found in all vegetable life, in all animal life and mental existence-that
every seed brings forth its kind, and what.ever may
predominat.e in the germ, will characterize that wbfoh it prod·
uoes. Not bat what in all seeds are all elements, but some . of
the elements are in such infinitesimal proportion, that they are
made to serve the element that is in predominanoe; and that
predominating element of the seed is what gi vea to the plant its
specific and distinct quality.
The same thing is true of animal life and human thought.
"All is thonght, mind, or spirit." yon say. Well and good;
so it is. But you are just a little seed dropped into the earth
by the divine band. Yon, unlike the germs that bring forth

science teachings of the present time-you are thereby suppreuing

pre-eminenue to the inspiration, growth and development of the
lower elements of your ex:ist.ence. Paul expressed a great truth
when he said: "The carnal mind is not subject to the law of

and develop by the power of mind, and so overoome the infto •
ence of death in the body, while they continue to gratify and give
predominance to all the lower aenaes and pusions; in other
words, they go on producing death in their bodies by wasting
their life, and expect to be able to bold mind power auftlcient
to overbalanoe the waste and obtain immortality; bot they for.
get that the power of mind is dependent upon the amount of
life in the body, and that there is no act which sins againstthe
higher principles of life within them, or wastes the fountains
of that life, which does not react upon the mind and destroy
the ability to bold the thought by means of which they hope
to overcome death. As they open the door and invite in the
death element, it becomes a powerful mental factor in the
organism, and every time they say "I am life," the echo from
deep down within the soul is. ''You are dying; I, Death, am here
and own you." Yes, through a powerful will one may, for a
long time, keep up the cry, Life, Life, Eternal Life! and in part
convince the reason that one bas it; yet the grim monster, ever
aotive through the gratification of sensual desirea, continually
disputes the assertion and gradually bind11 it.a viotim clo11er and
tighter, until thl\t vofoe of exaltation grows weaker and fainter,
fades and ceases to be; the body dies and returns to its earth.
We are here as products of the word of God, that spoke
the worlds into being. and all the laws of that Divine Nature
must be complied with in order to grow into its likeneas, aud
to develop immortal exii1tence within om'8elves. We cannot
apply a few of the laws of life, neglecting tl1e eRSential ones,
and still grow into immortal existence. If you plant a tree
you cannot expect it to grow uuleSB the condition of the soil
is all right, unless it has plenty of water and sunlight, and a
climate suitable to its growth. If these conditioos are neglected,

tually useless. Can you expect immortality while yon are complying
with, pe1·haps, only one of the multitude of laws requisite
to obtaining it? If so, yon will be diaappointed. Yon say there
ia no evil-put your hand in the tire and see if it is not evil to
you; ,it will certainly burn your hand and make it sore.
Take poison, and if it is the right kind it will kill your body.
"But," says one, "we can overcome even poison." Yes, you
can overcome some poisons that would otherwise kill you, but
there are others to which you would succumb, and so it is with
all that ·is in the universe. You must live in such a manner
that you have within yourself a fountain out of which you can
create. By means of our riches of life we are made conscious
of power, without which the mind fails, and the ability to overcome
the poisons that we , inhale wiLh the air we breathe, or
take in with our food will, sooner or later, desert us, and the
spirit of the poisons become master.
The present condition of the new thought is that of all newly
awakened life. The moth that is just awakening to existence
and to the very lowest rudiments of thought, sees the light and
and iR charmed by it, rushes into the flame and is destroyed.
The new-thought people have just begun to awaken, and have
but one idea: they behold the glories of the one life, and, refusing
to see anything but the one thought, they rush headlong
into the consuming flame of God's own existence; for God is a
conimming fire. We believe and hope that there are many of
these people who will he wise enough, and who have grown
large enough, to gra.'4p other thoughts, and to reali7.e the neoe.ssity
of obtaining all truth; for the one little fact that we
live from God is not 1111fficient-all the conditions requisite
to the maintenance of that fact, as well as all facts of

and human language oao do no more for WI, the human eye oao - no
further, and even imagination haa grown dizzy in ita upward flight, and yet we
koow that forever And forever extend thoae cirolea, that infinite atretch of TeM.
It is in th.i Tenth Sign of the Zodiac, the Sip of Capricorn, that we meet all
the weight of this sublime ruyatery; for, throughout the -oding aeriee, each
Teo holds within itself ita own creative oirole, the perfection of ita own Nine,
and by virtue of the d81041Ddiog power of the DiYinity, the Holy ONE, of the celestial
circle beyond, it haa become the Teo. And, as did the mother of Judah
(Caprioom), "now will I praiae the Lord", in that he hath vouchsafed unto QB
"the riches of the glory" of tbia divine inheritAnce; for as we cloee the mystic circle,
and pue into the holy coutummation of the sign Capricorn, into the sacred
presence of the Last, that completn- of all that we have known, lo, the veil
that baa covered the Holy of holies iM lifted, and in reverence and in wonder we
bow before the divineet mystery of the F'IJ'llt, for in Capricorn al.ides the mystery
of the divine birth.
Aa the Holy Place ia unveiled there atnaroa forth from ita burning neuter the
the light of the uokoowo, and bathed in ita splendors, our co1111CiOQBn- ia loet in
the refulgent presence of the Celestial, the new-born Son. We do not quite understand
the pat wonder of it, for we have pa88ed into the untried and unimagined
glories of the new, our entire bt'ing, our cirole of the past, haa met and been
joined to the Holy One of the cir .. le beyond; and yet we have leArned the graodeet,
the ultimate troth of all lif...-that Capricorn briu1t9 the circle of perfected
experience and lays it at the feet of the Divine Son, who springs into being
through the Holy of holies, the Libra (Reuben. meaning "Behold, a Sonl"),the
sign lint in c111&tion' a order.
The circle of eart11, the earth-globe, ia browo,-it ia to us the co11mic sum of all
the paet, and the cosmic and the human life know the same law,-but in the
Golden Brown of the Capricom, we see the light from the Holy Place, the glory
of the New, shining behind and through the aomber hue of eal'th.

At the time of yonr birth the earth was in that reatleae, anxious
sign Pisces, and yon are led out through Gemini, which is also a
reatleu, active sign, which governs the hands: Saturn and Mercury
are both in this aign, leading and governing your life. Your rising
or body sign is Scorpio, which enables you to bold in abeyance the
restleu Pisces nature, and makes y.oo quiet, rather ataid and digni·
ftecl in bearing. Your handa are very dextrous in whatever you with
to do. Have a vitality transcending that of the ordinary man, and,
therefore, great physical endurance; bot you do not like to work
hard and would never perform ph111ical labor. Y Oil have a good
scientific mind, and are a lover of a1-t, literature and poetry; of lux•
ary and elegance. Are rather pecoliar in your ideas of personal appearance;
have 6ne intuitions, aud are somewhat attracted to the occult
•nd mystic. Judging from the position of Jupiter in Taurus,
yon should restrain an inclination to gratify the sensea. You would
be very ucco11Sfol a~ a public spe:i.ker, as a teaoher, or M a aurgeon.
With ordinary care you1· health should be good, and you should live
to a good old age.

Your base and body sign are characterized by Mercury, bot Jupiter
in its home position and in your earth sign, gives to the Gemini
all it.a qualities: it imparta knowledge, clear understanding, orderly
conception, and harmonizes much of the reatle&11ne88 of the Gemini
nature. These characteristics are led out and dominated by the
moon, Uranus, Saturn and Mara in Scorpio, which places your nature
between two extremes; the one, open, free, and expreaaive, and
the other, subtle, silent and obscure, in the sense of unknown to your
&BBOCiatea. However, these position• give you great vitality and inclination
to the regenerate life; and no doubt you have many remarkable
viaiona and a strong leaning toward magic, pure and limple.
You should be very cart1ful not to allow yourself to study the principles
of magic, but rather 1tudy the laws of nature and try to bring
yourself into harmony with the God and Father of all, the Creator
of the universe. There is an inconsistency in your nature, as yoa
have a great inclination toward the occult and at the aame time are
materialistic; but, as you are a woman, the occult will dominate.
You would be very successful as a writer of fiction, e1pecially of
stories of occult t.endency. Be calm and restful; live in the mind
and control the passions, and all will be well with you.

You were born with three extremes of nature: Virgo with a Gemini

leads yon out into the influence of Jupiter and Man in Scorpio.
Were it not for your ideala and the culture which you have had, yon
would be Tery eccentric, impulsin and quick tempered, striking at
your beat friend mentally; yet you have a loving, tender, sympathetic
nature, and a great ideal of home and family. Are a man of intuitions,
and Satnm imparts to your mind order and harmony, so that,
notwithstanding your peculiar impnlaivenees, you will undoubtedly
make life a success. Uranus in Leo allies you to the occult and mys
tic and to the subtle forces of nature. While you are sensitive, yet
your sensations are, in a way, not controlling, because they are not as
keen as they would be were Mercury not in Aquarius. Mercury is in
the interior of the triplicity of which your body sign is the expreuor,
and your base belongs to the feminine earthy, which gives you
a solid foundation for a structure of wealth and position in life; but
you should constantly guard against the influence of your polarity, in
order to avoid hasty speaking, too quick and impnlaive action, and
should cultivate quiet harmony of motion. Music will be to yon a
tonic and- the beat medicine for your inclination to dyspepsia, especially
if listened to just before eating. You should never eat in a hurry

Your Taurus hue gives you aeeeu to the fountains of vitality and

At the time of your birth the earth and Mars were in the sign
governing the nervous system. This produces a nervous, restle88 temperament;
quite combative, but Mars gives good inspirational abilities.
The rising sign, Scorpio, somewhat counteracts the influence of
the moon in Sagittarius and your nervous, excitable tendencies, which,
however, are active in the interior. You are altogether too quick to
take offense. Jupiter's position in Libra gives you unusual psychic
power in influencing and controlling others, as well as good perception
and foresight. Venus and Saturn in Gemini impart fine mechanical
ability, a love of the sciences, and facility in acquiring a knowledge of
them. Y 011 have a strong endowment fitting you for the medical
profession, but are too nervous and irritable and have too much dissatisfaction
within yourself to follow that profession. The one thing
necessary for you is the cultivation of stoicism; hence morning (cold)
baths, ext>rcise, and all that pertaine to stoicism, are very e111ential to
you, in order that you may get control of yourself, and that the mind
may become master. Your body sign and polarity greatly aid you
in the study of occultism and the subtle forces of nature, but it is very
important that you cultivate a positive quiet, determined will, which
will enable you to move towa1·d your purpose with unwavering precision.
When you have accomplished this, study and quiet thought
will open up to yon realms of knowledge well worth all the effort e:a_.
pended in reaching them. As Mars is t.he inspirational planet and
in your life, you are under its control, instead of that of Mercury, as
the natural im1tincta incline you to be. Yon should live on high

A TESTIMONY.
When, a few years ago, we were leaving America with the
object of travelling in other lands, we bad, on our way to the
Golden Gate, the pleaaure of a visit to the Esoteric Fraternity
at Applegate. We were drawn thither through a desire to
come into closer communication with leaders of the Esoteric
Movement, and with those who were making an effort to follow
its pure and high teaching in their daily living. We were
much pleased with both the interior and exterior work that
was being accomplished there. The active duties of the hour
were carried on with faithfulness and no small amount of
interest, while, at the same time, one could feel that self.
discipline was the motive of every action.
The good influence felt at this first call at the door of the
Fraternity, together with the interest we have always taken in
the movement, led us on our return home to make a second
call, this time extending into a delightful week, that we would
like to have continued indefinitely. We find the situation of
the Fraternity much improved, and that the dwelleng places
have been removed from the plains to the hilltops. A place
more beautiful for situation and seclusion one could scarcely
ddAire, the surrounding view in every direction presenting an
eudless variety of bills and valleys, decorated with a wealth of
pine and fir tree, intermingled with the bright manzanita, in
all of which the Sierras abound. An atmosphere of freedom
and holines!'I pervades the place. One who is at all sen1>iti ve to
psychic force will f~l its uplifting quality, for regeneration
is the watchword of the Fraternity. The earnest people who

all of its deceptions, that they may be totally destroyed. When
men and women commence to take up earnestly the real problems
of life, then will the earth begin to "blo880m like the
rose", and to yield to the faithful ones her increase.
The Fratemity, though at present smaller in numbers than
formerly, is on a firm footing, and seems now to be entering a
new cycle that bodes an influx of 80ooeas and of permanent
advancement. 1'he noble Esoteric Magazine, with its new
name, is sent forth with a divine love and strength, whose
leaves will be for the healing of the nation. We stretch our
hands at parting, to the North, South, East, and West. as far
as eye can reach, from this pure center, and pray that the
Principle and Truth that it is laboring and standing for may
reach to the end of the earth.

of its altruistic predece!lsor, The E!loteric. I hail its
introduction to the occult world as the introduction of a new
and original type of literature; in an age of innovation, this
innovation is a beacon star for the future; the broad scope of
its design, the profound character of its teaching, the masterful
methods by which it is published, all conspire to make it a
school of culture for cultured minds. The versatile cover,

Mr. H. E. BUTLER,
Dear Sir:-Having been interested in Solar Biology for several
years and having discuued it wiLh all sorts of people,
is my only excuse for taking the liberty of addreHing you personally.
I took up Solar Biology aa a means of amusement
at first, hut, aft.er looking up all my friends, I waa more and
more astonished at the accuracy with which it pointed out, l\t
least the more striking f eaturea of their characters. And it
also seems to be almoet a sure guide to tbe diaeaHe& to which
per1onR are liable, and alt.ogether, after making some allowance
for her·edity and environment, it appear• to be quite a reliable
guide to character. Rut there is one matter of which it
treats and gives some rules, in regard t.o which I have been of.
ten requested to 1nake some investigation, and wherein I seem
as often to fail in reaching the correct result. I refer to the
laws of attraction between persons, u set forth in the book.
I have studied it carefully and have worked out mathemat-

ioal formule in order to get at it. I ftrat formulated a table of
facton,-one factor for each form of attraction mentioned in
the book.-which, aft.er finding the proper factors for any particular
pair of persona and multiplying them together, would
indicat.e the probability that only one peraon in the number
repreROnted by the prodnot could have the same amount of attraction
for one as the other person of the pair had. But this
method t.ook no aooount of the strength or quality of the various
oauaea of attraction. I also figol'ed it by peroentagea,
which amount to substantially the same result, taking the position
of grMt.eat attraction of planets at 100 per cent. when
the positions of ~a.test aothmtby wonM always eqnal 8 i per
cent. In comparing the attractions between myself and my
respective frieud11. I have met with eome 11urpri~1 M indicated
by my figures, but, as applied to my more particular friends, I
will admit that the results seem right as to order, but I think
not as to the degree of my affection for them. In theee methods
I have taken no aooount of what you call "harmonious natures"
which -may be . attractive to everybody, and, therefore,
ought perhaps to be considered in oompariaona of two or three
persons with any one penon.
To illustrat.e bow munh I am "at sea" in this matter, I wish
to 11ubmit a specific oaae to yon, which I have bad nnder pretty
close observation for several yeat'I. Thia is a oaae of a lady
who has been, and iR yet. qnite an attractive person to men in

..Ans.-Tbere is naturally a good degree of harmony between
persons born in the bead of a trinity and those born in the
expressing sign of the same trinity, which is the case with tb e
Aries man and Gemini woman, of whom you speak. I have
found that there is always a peculiar harmony existing between
Gemini and Cancer. But the greatest point.a of harm1>ny that
I have observed in years of careful study, are where the body,
or rising sign of one is the interior, or earth sign of the other.
As there is not space here to give the harmonies and in harmonies
existing between the body, or rising sign. and the interi.
or, or earth Aign and planetary positions, I can only suggest th:lt
you make the experiment in regard to the rising signs, which
govern the physical body, the senses, etc. We will probably
have aomething in The Journal in the near future giving a
more extended account of attractions and repulsions. [Eo.

Every artist knows how difticult it is to pat nature's tinta
upon his oanna: no matt.er with what oare and skill be may
mix his pigmenta, there is always something lacking ~ the
result. Probably that something wbiob he oan never oatoh. is
what may be termed the life of the oolor-the breathing.
sentient something which it send111 forth, and whioh we
unoonsciously reoognize as a vital emanation. If with every
facility for selecting and mixing colon. it i11 so diftlcult to
reproduce the oommonett hues of the external and material
world, our readers will readily understand the impouibility of
faithfully reprodaoing those subtler and still more vital oolors
with which the great realm of astral 1mbatance is pulsating.
In order to do so. one should seize and o&e as bis pigments the
pure es11enoe of ethereal life.
In view of what bas bef!n said. it is evident that, under the
most advantageous circom•nees, we ooold be bot partially
suooeuful in our effort to send out each month a magazine,
which, in the color of its cover, would give an adequate conception
of the color of the preVAiling 11ign; and the added diftl.
colty of the undertaking will be appreciat.ed when we oall attention
to the fact that we are remote from the centers of trade,
and most select the paper used in binding our magazine from
such samples as we can procure through oorrespondenoe.
Could we avail ouraelves of the artist's privilege of mixing
one's own pigments in the effort to reach some particular tint,
or even had we a wider choice in &electing paper a&lready in
the market, The Journal would be yet more attractive in
appearanoe, and in its preeentation of the astral colon, if it

did not attain the impoeaible, it would, at least, approach more
nearly to the primary or creative huea. However, our friends
may be usured that, if not entirely aatiafactory to those who
eee and know the wonderful light.a with which the nneeen
is aglow, The Journal will give a fairly correct idea of the
twelve sodiaoal colors, if, each month, the abort sketch of the
sign and its hues be studied in connection with the color
in which that number is bound.
We have been unable to procure a plain paper of the color
desired for the cover of this isaue; and, consequently, there
is soroll pattern upon it.a revene side which baa no occult
significance.
This isaue of The Oooolt and Biological Journal is sent to
our friends with a Christmas and New Year greeting. May
your Christmas be happy, and your New Year, as well as the
new century, an opening into naw and greater light and broad.

NOTICE
When Oak Park paned out of the hands of the Esote1'ic Fraternity,
it was purchased by on~ of our neighbort1, who had
long known the place. As he is a man of advanood age and in
poor health. he wishes to sell the place, and we would likft to Ree
it go into the possession of some one iotereRted in the hi~her
thought. The value of the place may be better estimated when
we state that tht>re was a mortgage of '2.000 and a · second
mortgage of '6,000 on it. maki~ in all $1,000. TheRe have
been cleared. and the preeent owner now offers it for t7.600.
There are 160 acres in the plot, and most of it lies in sncih
position as to be easily irrigated. A large portion of it

all nioely papered. The present owner nsea O&k Park as a
aummer boarding-place. He get.a t7 ,00 a week for each boarder,
and during the aummer months is obliged to turn away a
great number that cannot be aooommodated. The house is also
furnished with acetylene gaa fixtures, and telephone facilities.
A good barn,·all neoeesary farming implements, a brick shop
and carriage house, a span of horses, hit.rness and a two seated
carriage, are included in the purchase price, t7 ,500.
Applegate is beooming quite a summer resort, and Oak Park
is better adapted for keeping boarders than any plaoe in thia
part of the atate. We will be pleased to communicate with any
one who may contemplate purohaaing thia properiy.

delight to the eye. The set contains nearly 8,000 pages.

·MYSTIOISM.
During the last twenty years the people have been awakening
with gNater rapidity and earnestness to what has been called
"the mystic," than has been the case in any other period within
the threa hundred years past, and probably to a greater extent
than at any time since the advent of the Christ. Al. ia well
known, the students who are now seeking the mystic knowledges
are numbered by the hnndred thousand. Judging from the definition
of the word mystic, which is given as "something remote
fro1n human comprehension," a study of the mystic would imply
a study of something incomprehensible, which, on 6.rst thought,
would seem impracticable. But, to take another view of it, a
n1an cannot carry away a mountain in a wheelbarrow, but he
may carry away a small portion of it, and time, patience, and peraeverance
will enable him to remove a considerable portion of
it.-an example which furnishes an illustratio~ of the methods
employed in the study of the mystic. In the records of the past,
which ba\'e been uneartht>d, there are misty allusions to men

and organizations who, throngh long and continuous study and
by earnestly and devotedly digging int.o the unknown, uncovered
much that was desirable, and who thus became very useful in
developing mean11 for the elevation of the indiYidual above his
fellows. Thoe mysticism was really the first science in the
world's history, and it seemed to have boen in the very nature of
the primitive mind, which is nea1'88t the bosom of Mother Nature,
t.o recognize the mystic, the spiritual, the occult, as of first
importance, and )o seek for it with superstitious awe and reverence.
If it were not a vital subject and in harmony with human
existence and the cause and source of all mind, it wonld not
appear with the first manifestation of mind; but as, in all the
past, it has been the first manifestation of mind, we may reasonably
conclude that it may likewise be the last manifestation of
mind, notwithstanding the fact that those who have the credit
of being the greatest minds of the world are most skeptical:and
materialistic, and most fully ignore everything that belong~ to
the idea of the mystic.
The first step taken in the study of the cosmogony of the
world from the standpoint of the Bible, plunges us into the mystic:
"ln the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
And God said, "Let there be light. • • Let there be a firmament,
and it was so." And God made "every plant of the field
before it was in the earth, every herb of the field before it grew."
All theseauertionsarethemoatmystioal that can be imagined;
that is t.o say, God is Spirit-the spirit of the material body is
undeniably immaterial, imperceptible; it ie the underlying cause,
the potential energy, or cause, of all potential energy latent in
matter. Thus you see that, in the first eftort toward the discernment
of causation, we are met with the thought of spirit, of a
magical power that ·caused to be by the power inherent in the
spoken word. It was through and by that spoken word, according
to the cosmogony of the Christian Bible, that all things were

created; and if this thought is canied out to ita ultimation, we
are brought to the inevitable oonoluion that everything that e:ii:­
iata ia a thought form produced by the Deific or Creative Mind.
Thia being true, it follows that every thought element common
to the human family or aotive within the human mind may be
found in some vegetable existence. For this reason the ancient
mystics aoaght in the vegetable world for the chemicals that
would produce those oondition8 that woald give life, miud, and
power; that would open the oonaoiouane88 to the spirit world,
and, in abort, that would give them the ability to rise above the
limitations of the five phyaioal senses into the realm of the five
au per.aenaea.
Thus, away back in the dim put, there were ~rganizationa
formed in which chemistry was made the prime factor in the
study and development of the occult. With this came the study
of the laws of mind, the effects of mind upon mind, and added
tbt-reto the opening of the interior OOD8Cioun888 to a world of
beings cognizable only by the anper-aenaes,-beings poaa~asing
powers transcending those of the human oonaciouan888. At this
point, and in oonnection with that to which we have previously
ref erred, the door opened into the world of mysticism, from
which sprang the many charma, incantations, and mystic ceremonies
common to the ignorant clasaes, the moat of which were
the mereRt superstition. But aa theee things had no vitality
beyond that inherent in the earth, they were doomed to pass
away-not, however, that they will cease to exist in the vague
memories of the race, because, in the mind of the raoe, there
resides an inherent oonaciouaneu of thee:ii:istenoe of powers beyond
and tranaoending ita own, and, oontequently, the ideal of
the mystic oan never be eradicated from human thought.
Such thinga had had their day but were waning, even when
Jesus of Nasareth made his appearanoe in the world; and yet
there waa such vitality in thoae old mystic aooietiea that, up to the

present time there are relios of their existence. We hear oocaaionally
of the exiatenoe of the myatic order of Luxor, or of the
Magi of Egypt, and of many others yet more vague and indefinite,
bnt thoee aooietiea in their grandenr and in the greatneaa
of their wisdom and power have long aioce oeaaed to be.
When J eaua the Chriat came among men, he came to the
world aa a master, healing the aick by a word or tonoh, raising
the dead by a command, turning water into wine, oommanding
the fteh to bring the tribute money, cauaing the winda and the
wavea of the aea to obey him. Thna he demonatrated in hill
life that he waa a muter who had command of all the foroes
of nature. Many of the ao.called myetica of our day are diaposed
to claim him aa a member of their order or of the order
from which they came, but the claim has no foundation in fact.
Chriat, the son of God, introdnced a new cult. He came not
after the order of any myatic aociety-exoept, perohanoe, the
one that had been founded from the beginning of the world;
the one that waa without beginning of days or end of life. the
order of Melchisedek; the one that originated through nnity
with the mind and pnrpoae of God in the creation of the world.
When he at.ood before the great Sanhedrin of the temple reading
the law and teaching them, they marveled at him and said,
"How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?" for at
that time it wae only the favored few who oould read even the
law, and it wae a source of astoniahment that he. never having
been taught, cottld read the law and teaob the t.eachers, but be
answered their marvelling by these words: "If any man will do
hie (the Father's) will, he shall know."
Here we are brought faoo to face with the foundation principlea
of a. new cult. In the old cnlt, not only was a long life
of laborioua atndy and experimentation neoeM&ry to the attainment
of knowledge and power, bnt to this was added the
study of the results gained through the experiments of a long

fyiag and throwing into oonfuioo all ~efforts of modern
mytioa, who are gathering together all the knowledge that they
ean obt&ill OODOel'Ding the pre-hiatorio myatiea uad maatera, uad
with it are mingling what they O&D gaia of the great wiedom
and power of the Chriat. They do not know that in their own
eohool of myatioiam they are workinJ froDl the atudpoint of
UlOlber order of laws. ud that in the oombinatioa ·of thoee
lawa they obtain various reeulta; as. in form and quality of
matter, all ii made from a few primates. to all reeults reaohed
by the mystic &1'8 gotten from the relation of certain laws. one to
the other. These people are like ohildren working in a laboratory,
putting together different ohemicala without knowledge of
result, and, of coune, the results are diuttroua. They may oom •
bine two or three cliamioala that produce desired reaulte. but
the next chemical they bring into requisition may be ao disaa.
troua that it not only deatroys all the work aooompliahed, but it
may even deatroy their own livea. Suoh, to.day, ia tbe ooudition
of tbe world in its pursuit of the occult; and thia condition will
continue to exist until the seekers after the myatio learn the
one iinportaot le&10n intimated by the world's Cbriat when he
gave the parable of the new wine and the old bottlea, and the
old prment and new cloth.
As we have said, the knowledge of the oeoult, of the genuine
myAtio, oame through the persistent labor and effort of gener.

of these studies hu long sinoe paased from material exiatence.

1&tiafied with the knowladge these men poeaeaa or with
the life they live. Owing to the ignorance of the Oooi.
dental mind in regard to these subjects, it seems a great
deal to 1ee a man who is able to communicate with another
thoUB&nds of miles away, or to walk upon the water, or
who is able to leave the physioal body and travel in distant
lands, seeing, knowing and stodying there and bringing back the
results of his visit, and perhaps producing a little phenomenon
in the phyaioal world, or one who talks wisely and truly about
the communicatioDB he may h&Te with spirits, aools of the depart·
ed, with astral spectres, denizeDB of the invisible world;:but to
the mind of him who bu risen into the f olln888 of the light, these
things are mere ohild's play, the work of the mental dwarf,
beoaoae they that travel that way cannot go by any other.
Jesus said of such, "He that olimbeth up some other way, the
same is a thief and a robber." Please read what the Christ
says concerning such in the 6nt five verses of the tenth chapter
of John.
These sayings of our Lord were not becaull8 of any jealousy
of other methods, bot because, in the very nature of things, hia
methods and the methods of the old myatica were antipodes.
The old mystica began at the circumferenoe of the circle and

understood, we will draw a picture. For illaatration we will
cite the cue of a great myatic, one whose IJlind grupe the fol.
neu of all knowledge. In order to receive that knowledge from
him by ordinary methoda of 1tody the length of many lives
would be required, bot inatead of giving that immeasurable time
to study we first apply, in our own livee, methoda of refining the
aensibilitiea, silencing the clamor of the aenaea, elevating the
oonaciooaneaa to a oondition wherein we are able to oome into
the preeenoe of a person and read his thoughts; yea, more, methoda
by which, in that presenoe, we may, through the finer aensibilitiea,
take on and know the thoughts. feelings, and bowledge
of the person. Thoa, by coming into the presence of a
muter and sitting down before him, and beooming, u it were,
a child of his own mind ooDBCiousneas, one is enabled, by that
refined and intensified state of existence, to know wlsat he
knows, to think what he thinks, to feel what be feels; and in
that condition the initiate virtually becomes the muter and the
muter the initiate, the two are one. Whatever the master
knows, the disciple knows, who, in a way, takes on all that the
the master has gained, all that he knows, all of his great mind
power and wisdom. Now when Jesus said, "Seek ye first the
kingdom of God, and his righteousness. and all things shall be
added unt.o you," he meant t.o lead the mind of the eamest
seeker after knowledge, wisdom, power, righteousness; and
goodneBA, unto the very fountainhead of it all, God, the Cre.
tor of all, "that they all may be one; u thou, Father, art in
me, and I in thee" (John XVII. 21). This is the centraliza.
tion of the cult of the Nazarene, and it ia the mainRpring
and fountainhead of all myaticism, or magic, or oooult lore-in
r.bort, of all knowledge of every name and nature; the student,
the aeeker after the inviaible, is t.o liv6 IO u to oome.int.o oonacioos

mystic work of the so-called Theosophists and all the many
peeudo-occult ordet'I that are forming in the world. We are
following the t.eachingt of the Christ of Nazareth. We are
11eeking and know the way to find a oonscious oneness with his
Father and our Father, the God of the Univenie; and we know
that in so far aa we obtain that oonsoious unity with the Father
we shall obtain bis powers; or. in other words, to that extent,
shall we be like the Christ who said, "l·do nothing of myself,
the Father who dwelleth in me, he doeth the works;" and he
left on record the promise that at some time-and no do11bt
he referred to our time-we should do greater thingt than he
did. But the power to do marvelous thingt and to astonish the
world with wonders and signs, we hold u of little importaooe,
and do not desire it-that it will come, we have no do11bt.
What we really deaire is that which we may not tell; none
know it but they who have received it. As the sunlight transcends
the darkest night, ao the goal that is attained by this process
transcends all that has been idealized by the mystics and
oooultiata of ages past. We know tha.t it will not do to mix the
chemicals of the Christ's cult with the chemicals of the cult that
has had its day and is past. We are seeking the center; they
are experimenting with the circumference. They have a long
and laborious road to travel, and few, if any, have the patience,
the vital endurance, the mental capacity, to reach the goal in
the direction that they are traveling. The methods taught by
the Nazarene make these ultimates more readily obtainable.
It ia true that be said, "Many shall strive to enter in and shall
not be able," but we also read, "Whosoever will, let hirn take
the water of life freely." There are none who ~cannot safely
obtain certain desirable results through the way taught by the
Nazarene. There may be but few who can attain the higheatab,
no, there are none who can attain the highest now, for the

gard to breathing ia, that the life in the physical body is lib
the life that fills all apace throughout the uni verae, and that
what we oall or reoogoize as life i1 so beoaue it ia in motion,
-a motion which aooord1 with that of our exiateooe. The motion
of our existence is a 1pecialized motion, while that of all life
which fills all apace is a general motion. The act of breathing
ia, ftnt, the act of keeping the life in motion in the body; aeoond,
it is the act of gathering added life and causing it to eerve in
the motion of the body. To carry this idea further would
require auch deep metaphysical thought that the ordinary mind
would be lost in its apparent ob&curity.
We quote the following from Raja Yoga Lectures by Swami
Vivekananda: "Breath i1 like the fly-wheel of the machine. In

There was onoe a minister to a great king. He fell into disgrace,
and the kiug as a punishment, ordered him to be shut
up in the top of a very high tower. Thia was done, and the
minister was left there to perish. He had a faithful wife, however,
and at night she came to the tower and called to her hnaband
at the top to know what she could do to help him. He
told her to return to the tower the following night ·and bring
with her a long rope, a stout twine, a pack thread, a silken tbreadt
a beetle, and a little honey. Wondering mncb, the good wife
obeyed her husband, and brought him the deaired articles.
The husband directed her to attach the 1ilken thread firmly
to the beetle, then to smear hia horns with a drop of honey, and
t.O aet him free on the wall of the tower, with his head pointing
upwards. She obeyed all these instructiona, and the beetle started
on bis long journey. Smelling the honey before him he
slowly crept onwards and onward&, in hope of reaching it, until
at last he reached the top of the tower, when the minister

We know many things ooncerning the breath of which, perhapa,
we have never thought: for inatanoe, we know that if we
exercise vigoroOBly, we breathe rapidly, foll, and deep; that if we
hear sad news or are suddenly depressed by an aoouaation, or
from whatever cause, the breath becomes suppressed and aome.
what difllcult, ancl that if this continues for any length of time
a abort irregular breath manifesta itself. This irregularity of
the breath arises from a sudden falling of the chest after the
breath haa been drawn in. Make the experiment,-draw in
the breath and then let it out just aa if something within you
had fallen and forced it out. You will observe that, in tbia
manner of breathing, you let the breath out suddenly, but draw
it in slowly; it is very much like the breathing of a sick peraon,
gasping for breath. Strange to eay, the majority of the human
family continually breathe in this way. No wonder, then, that
the life within them is in a precarious oondition-so much ao that
they are affected by any malarial conditions that may be in the
atmosphere. People who breathe in this way are always in
an attitude of waiting for the grim monster disease to come
and take possession of them. It is not necessary to encumber

by physical exercise and effort; next observe the breathing
while you are busily engaged in work-not violently, but quietly.
You will see that it is an abdominal breathing, in which you
move the diaphragm with each breath and the abdomen rises
and falls. Thie is properly the working breath, and it is also
~e vital breath. By experimenting you will find that the beat
metliQd of quickly resting from exhaustion caused by climbing
a mountain or by any hard labor, is to throw yourself down
upon your back, let go the body-that is, relax all nerve tension,
let it lie as free from tension u would your coat, if you laid
it down-and then commenoe full, deep breathing, taking long,
full breathe, and being careful to close the air passage as you let
out the breath, so that it takes as long to exhale aa it does to
inhale .it. When you have learned this method of breathing
it will enable you to rest more in five minutes than you could
do in several hours by ordinary means.
Careful observation shows that men and women of high
intellectual ability have great lung power. Those who have
an active brain without a good development of lunge, soon exhaust
the vitality of the body, when the brain becomes etupifled
and incapable of action; consequently, it is very essential that
every one should fill out the lungs to a good normal capacity. l
say good normal capacity, because there is such a thing aa over
development of the lungs. No one should develop the lungs beyond
what might be termed a normal capacity. It is a law of
nature that, if an organ or function of the body baa a development
beyond the general requirement& of the body, that organ
decomes diaeaaed in the effort to throw off the superabundanoe
and reduce itself to the normal size. The lung capacity for a
good healthy mind and body can be measured by drawing in
the breath until the lungs are full, and then starting a low tone,
letting out the breath slowly: in other words, let out just
enough breath to produoe a sound, continuing the tone aa long
as the breath holcls out. A peraon of mPctinm ai?.A 11ho11M he

able to oontlnne the &one for forty or forty-ftve eeeooda, ia
which caae the lung power will be all right. The ordinary
woman•a capaoity it much less than that of man, u ahe draws
more directly from nature than does man, and lives leu in the
breath; therefore if a woman can produce the tone by the above
method for thirty or thirty-five aeoonds, she baa auftlcient Jung
power. Of course, mnch depends upon the size and general
mak&-up of the individual-each one must uae his or her own
judgment in the matter.
You may develop the oapacity of the loop by rising early
in the morning, going out into the freah air, breathing deep
and full, throwing the cheat to the front, ahoulden baok-eay,
for five minutes; then ioftate the longs to their full oapacity,
ext.end both hands in front of and on a line with the body,
and bring the elbowa back with a sodden jerk eo u to produce
an expansive action in the lungs. If this ia done while the
lungs are &lied with air, it will force open every cavity and
throw the energies into the lungs and cauae them to grow.
After reveatiog this two or three times, extend the arma
from the side of the body at right angles with it, put the
palms of the hands together in front of you, and awing the arms
back with a force, making the effort to bring the backs of the
hand1 together behind you, maintaining as near u poAible a
horizontal poeitioh of the arms. Thia exerciae should be repeat.ed
every morning until yon oao atrike yonr hands togethe•
behind yon, the arms being in a horizontal p08ition. In caeea
where the joints are naturally very stiff, the individual would
probably not sncoe6d in performing the exercise until the lungs
bad been fully developed.
In connection with all this, you should establish the habit of
rhythmical breathing, of controlling the breath by the will, so
that the same length of time it ocoupied in ita exhalation u in the
bihaltion of the breath. The habitual breath should be one that

a~vely qaiet and the abdomen alightly drawn in, or, u we might
aay, tomewbat reRrained. Thia regular breMhing oonneoted
with a fooalization of the mind in the thought attitude, will
IOOn develop a clear brain and an active mind. Jn the govern.
ment of the breath you live by the will. By atud.ring thia
matter for younelf you will cliaoover all the changes in the
manner of breathing requiait.e for reeting, recuperation, vitalisation,
illumination of the brain, and ooncentration of the
mind. No one can explain to another jut what are the different
methods, for organitms differ, but you should think about
the matter and oontrol the breath 10 habitually aa to creat.e a
habit of governing it; then undeeirable mental atatudea will
produee a oorreaponding ohange in the breath, ao that, if you
watch your breath carefully, you can prevent unweloome mental
and phyaioal oonditiona.
While we are giving instruotiona in regard to the breath, we
make a suggestion whioh may not be acceptable to every student
and yet it will be worth at leut an experiment. If your
mind is dull and your body inactive, commence the rhythmioal
breathing and think of the fact that the whole universe is filled
with life, creative life, the very substance of the Creator;
and with every breath try to draw in, and to think that you
are drawing in that life, in order that you may fill your whole
body with it. If yon desire mentality, place your mind on the
mind element of the Creator; if you desire vitality, place your
mind on the vital currents of creation, or whatever it may be
that you desire, direct your mind to that olement, breathe it in,
and as you do 80 send it throughout the body, 80 that the body
may be filled with it. It matters not how skeptical you may
be or how ridiculous the thought may seem to you, it is worth a
trial, and I think the result will remove all doubt as to its COD•
taiuing something worth your attention. In the language of the
old adage, "a word to the wise is sufficient;" therefore, at prea.
e&lt, we will not extend thit thought further.

These positions of the planets in Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn,
each representing the element of Earth, form progreui
ve not.es in the octave of int.erior harmony and power to this
personality, and cause Nature to seem to him so near as to be
almost a part of himself. These Earthy elements. thus apiritualized,
caused his soul-life to reach out to every tree, stream, and
cloud as God's outward methods of revealing to him His own

It was no accident that, at the saaceptible age of seven, young
Abrahaio went with his father from Kentucky to the forest
wilderness of Indiana, and later helped to fell the trees and
build the cabin for a home. There Nature's revealiugs were for
a time almost unbroken by man. The pine knot at evening furnished
the light hy which he read what little came in his way.

igation for himself and by himself upon all matters of greatest

In this aign of the Tribe of Levi, Love's miuion to

others-gradually embracing the nation-became hit histoi:io

But we must remember he was by birth of the· Tribe of
Dan, or "one who judges." We recall iu the days of Jaoob
how childless Rachel prayed for a son to be raised upon her
knees, and her prayer was hearkened unto and she was given
a son whom she called Dan. In that greater aen&e, when a
nation reaches forth for its own savio'r, amid impending di11-
integration, was it not true that our Dan came as a judge and
ruler over and among his brethren? The bii1tory of the nineteenth

signR above, in their Earthy relationship, laid the fonndationa
here for this wondrous development, whereby Abraham. Lincoln
became the planetary man of largeat psychic toiadom at the
most critical time in the history of America. And yet, with
all the unusual wisdom which always possessed bis manhood
years, he was ever a friend of the most lowly, with a keen sympathy
almost at times threatening to destroy his judgment.
The characteristics already named as deduced from the positions
of the planets, were impregnated also with an occult
comprehen11ion beyond that of his fellows, which oft.entimes
caused him to feel, in a large sense, alone in the world. He
reached out for the higher states of unfoldment. That is
illustrated by the fondness be had for the poem beginning:

This element of his nature found expression in his int.ease
love of humor and in the jokes he so often perpetrated among
all classes of people. Emerson has said: "Jokes are but half
truths," and so we may understand bow large a volome of half

But with all his earthliness and peculiarities, his soul in its
deeper assertions found fitting voice in the words of Tennyson:­
" Because right is right, to follow right
Were wisdom in the scorn of conseqaence."
In that spirit he gave himself to our country amid it.a moat
trying hours, and in bis tragic death the people he loved and
served mourned him with a sincerity having no parallel in the
history of republica. All over our broad land, North and South,
came spontaneously the loving tribute to his noble grandeur

Wolff (A. D. 1764).
Probably Hudson's "Law of Psychic Phenomena" has done
more than any other book to establish in the public mind a just
conception of the dual oonstitution of the human intelligence,
and in giving the term psychic to the phenomena therein described,
he points to the true aouroe of those activities which
in the text of bia work be attributes to the "subjective mind."
The "subjective mind" is but another name for the psyche, or
soul, to which belong those atrange powers that have always attracted
the wonder and admiration of the world. The ability to
read the future, to command the elements, hypnotic control in its
various forms, knowledge of the thoughts of those toward whom
one's attention may be directed, or of that which is taking place
at a distance-these and like manifestations of what have hitherto
been considered supernatural powert1, are but the normal activities
of that psychic being, the history of whoite development
we have traced from the time it appeared upon Mercury as a
thought form, a dei6c word, sent forth by the Elohim, until,
at the consummation of the flr"t half of its Solar Octave, it stoo

Octave, in which, aa it reached die planet Earth, it uobanged
knowledge and power, which were preeminent and unerring,
for a garment of flesh eo groea as to hide all bot an oooaaiooal
and fttfnl gleam of its former glory.
The doctrine of evolution, in it.a aoientiftc aooeptation, is bot
a half-troth, aa dedoctiona reached by methods wholly materialistic
moat be, in almost every instance. The history of the
evolution of man, as it is read by the material aoi"ntist, is undoubt.edly
the history of the evolution of man's physioal body
and of bis intellect. As shown in the unfoldment of its embryo,

the earliest germinal states, through reptilian and animal forms,
up to its present perfection, and with it has developed the intellect,

ter and adjusts them to their proper relations. First appearing
as the dim consciousness of the bioplasm, its knowledge of the
pbyeical world by which it was surrounded oonstantly broadened
as it passed through the su00888ive experiences of the asoending
aoale of life, until, in the human body, the oontinuity of its
perception of form and the externalities of oause and effect became
sufficiently advanced to be characterized as reason.
It was at this point that the soul-which, as we have seen,
had attained individuation in a previous existenoe-desoended
into the casement of flesh, and entrusted its interests in the external
world to the keeping of the intellect, the mind originat.

The Triplicitiea of the zodiacal signs are an important aid
in the study of the subject now before us, u they f umiah a
moat aatisfact.ory recital of the creative prooeaaea. We find in
them a prophetic, a prot.oplumic, statement of The Name, the
potency of Four in its vital manifestation. After leaving unity,
however, we must reach the Four through the Two, and it ia
in this order that the Triplicities present the plan of creation.
By the term Airy, aa applied t.o the psychic 'Triplicity, we
are taught the identity of the psychic and airy elements, of
which the expression or manifeatation is the breath, the word,
Gemini. Our attention has been aeveral timee called to the
fact that, in its original constitution, the payche, or soul, was a
aimple thought foranulated-that is, given its bodily structureby
the breath (word). It was a creature of airy or psychic
elements, sent forth by the Elohim to commence the journey of
life. Air, as we know, ia compoaed of two elements, oxygen
and nitrogen, and in the power of Two, a condition of duality,
the psychic states of being found not only the baaia of composition,
but the basis of aotiYity and of manifestation, from their
beginning to the nltimation of their unfoldment. The cir0le of
paychic (airy) life ends, as it begins, in the potency of duality,
expressed in the perfection of the conjugal relation, the union
of two, fonnd upon VenUiJ, where the soul, or psychic existence,
completes its individualisation. Gemini, the twins, is
presented by the Triplicity u the formulat.or of the psychic
quality, and that which ia dependent upon Gemini, the breath,
for form and expre88ion, must neoosaaa·ily be dual in its struoture
and development.
Leaving the Airy Triciplioity, we find the next in order to
be that of Water. Water is known to be the basil of all organic
or material life. From prot.oplasmio substance, which baa
its origin and home in the water, there apringa int.o existence,

to environment, every form of physical life, both animal and
vegetable. Haeckel quot.ea from scientiflo authority the following
statement: "From a condition in which plant is hardly to
be distingniahed from animal, creatures have appeared, gradually
perfecting themselves in two opposite direotion1,-the plant
is finally glorified into the tree, enduring and motionleu, the
animal into the human being, of the highest mobility and freedom"
-and it ia in the wat.er that thia ·original type ia found.
The att.empta of embryologist.a to diatingniah between the protoplasm
of the plant and that of the animal, have resulted
in such unmistakable failure that leading authorities auggest
the abandonment of the effort. Huxley frankly admita the probability
that "the very earlieat plant.a and the very oldest animals
belong to the same stock;" and Haeckel propoaea that thia
original group be called Protista.
Now the easential elements of the undifferentiated life aubstanoe,
as it originally exists in its watery home, we find to be
four,--oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and carbon. Cancer, the
fountain or Hhead" of the wat.ery element.a, is indicated by a
representation of "the male and female germ•($), the aperm
and the ova, symbolioal of the origin of the life on the Earth
by these two ciliated globules in friendly poise." Thus the
airy pair (oxygen and nitrogen). by union with a ooonterpartal
two (hydrogen and carbon), exchange the psychic oondition
for a snbetantial physical body, they clothe themselves
with a garment of flesh. And aa the Triplicity of Air received
form through Gemini, the Word, ao the Triplicity of vital ~

upon the interplay of the uni•eraal energies and their man.
ifeatation in the worlda and systems of worlds by which we
are surrounded, we see one pivotal truth around which every
other revolves, a law ao absolutely comprehensive u to overwhelm
our finite faculties in the e«ort to grasp its gigantio
import. We may, perhaps, convey a suggestion of this mighty
law when we say that it is, the maintenance of unity of purpose
and continuity of method.
Its buis is unity, a great central ideal, a oenter of infinite
proportions-that is, through the in6nite sequence of unfoldment,
each uoending plane of life beholds its Center in the highest
organization of which it is able to take cognizance. That
Center stands to it as Unity; it ia the Great White Throne,
the center of ideal exoellenoe and of power around which its
existence revolves; for u, imperfect in expression, it came out
from its Center, so it ever aspires to the perfection from which
sprang, thus completing its circle of beiog.
Next to Unity-wherever in the scale of life that center may
stand-is duality, The Two, who prepare the way for The Four,
appearing next in order, to be followed, in turn, by The Eight;
and so goes on the rhythm of life, the mighty order of tba
Eternities.
Viewed from the Center, or from the cause side of its existence,
each organization appears as a grouping of the particular
number of individuals of which it is composed, bot aaseen from
the external, or from the standpoint of e«ect-that is, in the
performance of their functions in relation to lower orders of
life-they are one. In other words, they look to the higher for
their own Center of power (Unity), but, in turn, hold the place
of Unity to those lower in the scale of beiog. Io the e«ort to
grasp this conception of Unity, we behold a Center of infinite
extension-in other words, infinitely enlarging by a process of
aggregation in wbiob the outer circle of a concentric aeries is

always increasing at a ratio of two,• doubling its own proportions-"our
God is One.''
And yet eternl\l progreuion demands that the circles or cycles
of life advance in spiral order; therefore we must understand
that in this unending series there is no closed circlet, that it is
a universal movement in a never-ending auccession of spirals.
For example, the Earth, t.o its inhabitant.a appears t.o describe
a definite and closed orbit in the revolution around its central
orb, although we know that, by reason of a similar movement
of the Sun around a center yet beyond, the Earth in reality
travels a spiral patb,-a path which, viewed from a Solar atandpoint,
bears the same relation to the orbit of the Sun as, t.o an
Earthly astronomer, the path of the Moon does t.o that of our
own planet. The Sun, in turn, sees its revolution around its
own central luminary as a closed orbit, while from that Transcendent
Center, Sun, Earth, and Moon are all pursuing their
spiral way. Thus, throughout the ascending scale, each body
knows but onf! center, which stand11 t.o it as Unity. and ita life
energies are onct>ntrated in accomplishing tbe circle of its exi11tence,
its revolution around that center: but, in doing so, it carrie11
with it the lesMir world11, wheeling in spiral mue along its
path. Stupendous thought !-those blazing syst.ems with their
people (for in defining the scheme of worlds. we are also study.
ing the a11t•ending order of organized intelligen.e ), as they
mount the cycles of life, bear with them the weight of all the
unh·erae below.

of natu~, that the ultimate of- the Octave of Worlds through
wl1foh our planet is now passing is the unity of Four; that four

to close with the full chord, the four notes embodying the a&•
sembled harmonies of the seven asoending tones. In the Tetra.
grammaton, the name of The Four, Earth long ago caught the
first faint echo of those four triumphant notes which, to.day, &1'8
rolling down the Octave from the planet J apiter. And in the
light of uni venal evidence of the oneneea of law and of substance,
can we di8&880Ciate the destiny of a race from that of a planet?
If, in one instance, the ultimate individual is the result of a
union of four, does uot the other attain the same perfection?
No one who, with unbiased judgment and from a acientifio
standpoint, has atudied the phenomena of human life and those
of the planet, or who is sufficiently sensitive to examine them
by means of the payohic vision, oan for a moment doubt their
identity. This fact was 80 generally recognized among the ancients
that the various stages of human evolntion were told in
language descriptive of oosmic phenomena, thus indicating that
the nnf oldment of racial life and that qf the worlds pursue the
same course. The very name given in the early time to the
crowning planet of the seven, shows that the ancient seers looked
forward to the tran11Ceudent union awaiting our vlanet as well
as its race; and in the character and development of the life of
Earth, we find Nature constantly adju1tting herself to a design
looking to the fourfold ultimate not of the race only, but of the
very structure of the planet.
The RCientific maxim tells us that "Nature takes no leaps."
and she shows us most unmistakably that her building is modeled
upon the plan of the square; and when the structure iR oomplet.ed
Rhe will have materialized the form of ideal perfeotion,
-Masonic. as well as that of all ooonlt symboJism.-thatof the
four equal faces, the square. Note the proportions of the !Rraelitish
Tabernacle, of Solomon's Temple, of the City of the New
.Jerusalem as outlined in Revelation-all typical of the character
of that perfected structure which the planet and the raoe are
now 80 diligently building.

In the flrat plaoe. the earth and moon were both in the
sign Libra, whioh was represented by the ftrat son of J aoob, Ren.
hen: "Reuben," he said, "is my ftrat born." In the evolutionary
unfoldment by and throuirh creative energy, Libra is the flrat
sign of the grand cycle. lte nature is as if a oomoiona entity

be wondered at that your ohoioe was the earth, for there is a
feeling with Libra. wherever found, that they are to be the ftrat.
Their strange visions and their relatedneu to pure creative
nature, make them feel that they stand, u it were. alone, the
ftrat. In your cue this is augmented by the fact that the last
degree of the maternal sign Canoer, was riaing at the time of
your birth. Thus your body beoomea an inspirer, a gatherer, of
thoujl'bta and ideaa. You have no planet in the interior aip of

this, being in the first part, ia weak, giving full power to the
peculiarity of the Libra base. Uran us is in the sign which leads
out the maternal trinity, and, consequently, it ia the expreuor
of, and governs your body, and fills your mind with inspirations
of the mystic, and of a11 that which pertains to the peculiarities
of the Virgo nature. Jupiter in Aries indicates high idealR,
broad conceptiona, and a great deal of self.centered character.
Man in Capricorn tends. as it were, to throw the entire combination
back upon yourself. Venue and Mercury, in the1'98tle11
sign Pieces, keep you ever busy, 80 that you would naturalJy
live in a world of your own, and no doubt the angel would
give you the world as your own. And when, in the fulJneas of

planet. and it may be that I will be there and possess it too;

EDITORIAL.
We have received from India, the manuscript for a little book
to be entitled THE PILGRIM'S PATH. Itisaoompilationof
selections from letters writt.eu to a disciple by one of the most
widely known Masters of India. The pupil to whom these letters
were writt.en-and who ia at present in charge of an institntion
of learning in Midna.pur, India-has arranged the selections
and sends them to us for publication. They are of the
character of special instructions intentled to aid the recipient in
his effort to reach the high goal.
The book will be one of rare merit, as, in purity and depth
of 11piritual quality, it i1 11nperior to any of the Indian writings
with which we are familiar. We hope to announce in the next
i11ffntl of The ,Tonrna.l that thi11 littla work is reacly for distribu·
tion, but, on account of an unusual press of work just now iu our
printing offic\e, its appearance may be delayed. The booklet
will he neatly bound in linen and brown, and sold for 50 cents

The following advertisement was sent us, and with it the little
book referred to, which is sold for ten cents. Although the
peculiar wording of the advertisement inclined us to reject it at
once, yet, after reading the little book, we decided to publish
the notice of it. It contains many suggestive thoughts which
are very good for the good and pure-minded, but very bad for
the bad and evil-minded. The subject matter handled by the
author is vital, and in the hands of the wise will be found useful.
As the little book refers to a larger one, we will reserve further
judgment until we have seen the more extended work.
The ten-cent booklet contains enough important knowledge to
be well worth sending for.

wi11hea to sell the place, and we would like to aee it go into the poaaeuion
of aome one inte1'88ted in the higher thought. The nlue of
the place may be better estimated when we state that there was a

could be cultivated aa a gaTden; a lit.tie ereek rune through it, which
supplied sufficient water to give ua a.garden of about two acrea.­

PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY.
The thought of physical immortality is one that baa animated
the mind of the race from the earliest dawn of history
down to the present time. The Biblical record begins with the
creation of Adam as an immortal existence, and immediately
following is the account of the loss of his immortality by sin.
In the theological mind the qnetition arises, Of what di

instance, "Methnaelah lived an hundred eighty and seven yean,
and be.gat Lameoh," who was hie firstborn; .. and," the aooount
prooeedtt, "Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred
eighty and two yean, and begat aons and daughttll'!\: and
all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine
yeara; and be died." Now, we cannot by any known law of
reason or in jnstioe to the records aay, that the account is inoorreot
which says that Methuselah lived one hundred and
eighty-seven years and then begat his 6rat son, an'l that all
the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-niue literal
yean,--of the same length aa our own: and yet in our
time it ie a matter of wonder to the public mind to aee a man
or a woman who has lived to be a hundred years olJ.
The only reason, apparent from the record, for the great
decrease in the length of individual life is, that the people of
to-day, aa a rule, marry at any time from fifteen to twenty-five
years of age and beget ohilren; but we cannot account for it in
this way, as those who do not marry until fifty or even later, do
not live any longer than those who marry very young. Let us
inquire a little deeper into the subject. If the habit of the race
were such that the people lived an absoluttily continent life,
preventing all lou of the vital ftuiJs from puberty to the time
of marriage, what then would he the result? Some may say
this is a matter of speculation, but we think not-we think it
a matter of logical deduotion. However, we have elaborated
this subject very fully in our former writings, and we will not
here enter into a discuesion of it. There is no doubt in our
mind that the great age of the patriarchs originated in
the one fact, that there waa no loss of the vital fluids from
the time they reached puberty until they generated their
first child, and that after they began the work of generation
they lived wholly for the production of their race and not for
aensual gratification; in other words, they only exhausted their

they were perfectly continent. Now, we believe that if at the
present time, ohil

212 PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY.
We have said that the thought of immortality bu been in the
mind of the race from the time of Adam to the present day.
We are told by the Apoetlea that Christ .a.me to bring life and
immortality to light through the Gospela, and Paul said: "As
iu Adam all die, even eo in Christ shall all be made !alive."
Had we the time and inclination to enter into an argument
from the Seriptoral aide, we would find overwhelming proof
that the object of Christ's miuion was to show the way to remove
the flaming sword and make it possible for man to again
enter the garden of Eden and partake of the fountain of the
wat.era of life freely, to the end that he die no more.
lt"rom the time of the Apostles down to the present day, mau
bas believed that he could overoome death by some theory, doo.
trine, or method, which he had found and was adopting in hie
own habits, bot all have died. Just at this time there is an unusual
awakening in regard to the subject, and many most zealously
believe that they have the knowledge and power to ovet'OOme
dPath. The thonght of the mental scientists is reviving the
hope of physical immortality; and that hope is not an onreaaonahle
one, for, if we stop and think of the methods of lire
from infancy to old age, we are oonf ront.ed by the following
facts: a child is born, and year after year it growa and develops
until manhood or womanhood is reached. This is the period
of actual growth of the body; but when puberty is reached, the
life element within the body ripens and is thrown off and the
body CeaAeS to grow. When we realize the fact that every pal'o
ticle of the body is periodically cast off and renewed, the queation
naturally a.rises, Why is it that man grows infirm and that
age seems to tell upon his organism so rapidly? Physicians
attribute it to the ossification of the structure and so forth, and
to the fact that the body has worn out; but how can the body
wear out when it is renewed every day-born anew, as it were,
every year? If this is true, death is certainly not due to the

wearing out of the body; it can only be the wearing ont of
that which remains. And what is it that remains? The thought
and memories, which are the consciousneu. Therefore we
must conclude that it is wholly the attitude and condition of
the miud "hich govern the rebuilding of the ltody, and that it
is a change of mind which causes a change in the body from
youthful growth and development t.o old age and infirmity.
This, to a certain extent, bas been pr.oven by mental scientists,
who believe moet firmly that through the power of miud,
through a change of the habit of the mind, they will be able
t.o overcome death and live on indefinitely. We agree with
thP-m that they have immortality if they can obtain and ruaintain
a mental oondition like that of the man of twenty,-hopeful,
buoyant, ever looking on the bright side of life, full of
energy and vigor; at the sarue time holding a firm belief in
the thought of immortality in tlwmselves,-a belief not of
the head, but, as the Bible has it, of the heart, or, as we
prefer t.o e:ii:preu it, a belief in the vital thought, which is
a belief that seems t.o bubble up in the inner conscious.
nP,ss of one's Leing. and is 80 vivid and 80 perfect that the
ordinary mind would say: ••I do not ht!lieve it,-1 kuow it;
for I feel it permeating every atom of my being." Yes, such a
belief and such a conscious realization is all that is necessary
t.o obtain immortality of the physical body. But such a belief
and such a oonsciousneu cannot be intermittent, spasmodic;
it must be a continuous, unchanging realization. Some of our
Christian Science brothers and sisters think they can, by the
power of will, create in theanselves this condition and maintain
it, but if they were t.o stop and honestly examine themselves,
they would find that not one of them is able t.o hold the perpetual
realization, and that.~in order t.o. obtain a realisation of
the oondition at all, it is necessary t.o be writing or talking
about it, with the power of their whole being centralized upon

it. They also know that when the effort is over, the reaction
comes, and that the coneciousness of death and infirmity comes
with the reaction. Thia shoulJ be sufficient evidence to any
one, who will soberly think and reason upon the matter, that
there ia something wrong in the habits of life.
About a year ago Helen Wilmans answered a question in
"Freedom" oonceming the ability of the earth to hold all the
the people, if immortality was obtained and the work of generation
still continued. Io answering this question she obtained
the revelation of the real root of the matter; namely, that they
who obtain immortality "neither marry nor are given in marriage,
bot are u the angels in heaven;" in other words, they
who obtain immortality, live the regenerate life. Now, it remains
to be seen whether Helen Wilmans baa the courage to
aooept that revelation and teach the truth that she baa received.
So far as I know, she baa failed to do so. Every person is
justified by bis own higher self and by the God of the univeree
aa long aa he does as well as be know11, but when a higher
truth is given him, it brings condemnation, if not aeoepted
and lived up to, or-if one iit a teacher-if not aooept.ed and
taught. Transgreasion against the law is the cause of d~ath,
and will inevitably bring its results. There are many now
living, who have followed the Esoteric teachings and are living
the regenerate life, who realize that that course of life-the
retention of the life 6nids and unity of the- mind with ~be Spirit
of God- is a mean• by which the spring of immortality may
•
be realized in their own organisms. We have a man with us
in his ~venty-aeventh year, who frequently says, "l never felt
so well in my life;" a day or two ago be remarked, "l feel as
though I could jump over the house." What does this mean?
It means, simply, that there is springing op within him the
oonaciousneaa of immortal youth. Therefore wo repeat, unlea

all their efforts toward maintaining the mental atate requiaite

NEW PBAOTIOAL METHODS.
(VI.)
In the preceding number of this series of artiolee, the meth•
ods given for governing the breath, developing lung power,
and so forth, although intended merely as auggestione, will,
if followed out diligently and introspectively, giY'e the atudent
a vast source of wealth, of mind and body. It must be under·
atood, however, that tbia is true only of those who, in every
respect, are living a good, healthy, orderly life, for if one is
destroying his life at its very fountain head, he cannot expeot
to reap the full reward of his effort in the direction of breath·
ing. All physical conditions demand exprenion through the
breath, and in order to attain the higher results for which yon
who read these methods are seeking, you muat take into oonsideration

everything. Of course, no law applied can fail of reeulta,
but the reaulta will be only those of the one applied law. Conaequently

into consideration all the laws governing the physical body aa
well as those governing the mind.
A large body of teachers now before the world expect to accomplish
everything by mental action alone,-to vitalize the
body, cnre its diseMe, and even give it immortal exiatence.
While the mind is able to accomplish gMat results, yet it itself
is dependent upon the vitality of the physical body. It is
claimed by these people that they can vitalize the body. Yes,
the;(can, provided the body is filled with the basic element, life;
otherwise the mental effort will act as a powerful stimulant
that sets the nerves in motion and produces a momentary exhilaration
and oonsciouanesa of strength, but, if the body is
depleted, that consciousneas of power cannot be maintained.
Now, there ia no one thing in tho habits of human life that so
quickly depletes the body, weaken3 the mind, and derange1t the
entire atrocture of a man or woman, as the abuse of the reproducti
ve .function. ThiR function hai1 two distinct uses in the
economy of natul'f>: the first and most important is in the production
of life for the body an1l its needs; the second is for the
perpetuity of the race. But if the life gathered by the repro·
ductive system is used only for the perpetuity of the race, then
only a very small per cent of the life generated serveR that
purpose, and the rest, having been thrown back into the body,
and by the activity of the sex transmuted into the crystallized
waters of life, is taken up into the blood, carried to the heart,
then pumped into the lungs, after which it goea into the circulation
and into the spleen, where it undergoes a further transmutation
and become& what is known as vital magnetism.
Of recent years there has been much talk about obtaining
magnetic powers for the purpose of attracting and commanding
the attention of our fellows. The man or the woman who has the
most magnetic power on the rostrum, in business, or in aocial
oiroles, is the one who, either by nature or by mental habit, is

moat oareful in the oonaervation of the le8d, for all vital energy
begina with the reproductive function. Onr origin aa a phyaioal
exi11tenoe waa there,--all the life inherent in our organiam wu
primarily derived from that function, and all the vitality that
we will ever po88811 dependa thereon. The wute of the products
of that fun"tion has oauaed the filling of our imane aayluma
and priaooa throughout the civilized world. It it the cauae
of weakneaa of mind and oouequent poverty and dittreea in
the world. It it the oauae of all aiokneaa, aorrow, and pain. Inquire
of any phyaioian who haa charge of one of our large
inaane aayluma, and he will tell yon that from on•half to twothirda
of ita inmates are there becauae of oertain abuaea of the
reproductive function. If you want to be free, happy, atronr,
vital, so that life is a aong of joy, a perpetual happineu, then
begin at the fountain head, oonaerve the life, hold it for the
uses of the body and mind.
Every mystic order, worthy of the name, that now exiat.a or
baa ever been in existence, has found it neoeaaary to the attainment
of superordinary power to take oontrol of the generati
ve function and oonaerve all the vitality produoed by it for
the uae of the body and mind. Troe, there are aooieties that
oall themaelves mystic, but which are mere magic workel'I
dealing with the groaaer elements of nature, that ignore the
oonaervation of the life ftuida as a foundation principle, but

Again, we are brought face to face with certain habits in
human life which preclude the realization of immediate reaults
in this direction. For example, the majority of people
have gotten themselves in the habit-and wieely ao-of ignoring
all sensation and disregarding any special mental states.
If you should say to the ordinary man: "Do you feel pretty
well this morning?" hie rt!ply would be, "Oh yea." ••Your
mind is aa clear as ui;ual ?" "For all I know, yea." "Do you ft!el
any differenoe between your present state and that of last
week?"' "No: 1 am just about the same; I never change very
mucb." That is to say, in order to succeed in life, a man has
his object, and baa decided upon certain methods to which he
holds tenaciously and admits no thought of inability to accomplish
hie purpose. Thia ia good of itself, but if yon wish to
lay bold of the laws of nature and profit by their application,
you must study the phenomena of nature and of your own life,
which are to be found in the sensations of the body and your
mental states.
There exists here a point of moat careful and wise di11crimination.
lo order to obtain results it is necessary that you
study every sensation of the body, analyze every mental state,

If you follow these inatruotiona, you cease to live aa a mere animal,
without thought of anything beyond subaiateoce; you begin
to live as an intellectual organism, a thinking power. Therefore
you are to recognize that you, the real individual, are a Ullnking
intelligence, not a physical body. You have a physical
buc.ly. but that body is not you,-it ia yours. Thia thought eatabliithed
within yourself, you readily overcome fear; you easily
recognize your natural strength and dominion over mere sensation,
and with that recognition all fear of the consequences of
aenaation is conquered. When you have overcome fear of the consequences
of certain unknown sensations, you are in a position
to analyze them; to stand a spectator, as it were, and experiment
with them,-know and understand them in all their manifestations.
If you do this, you can determine the reeulta to be
obtained by the application of the methods you are applying.
Yon know that when a physician gives his patient medicine,
he is always solicitous to know what effect the medicine baa
had; he inquires diligently concerning the patient's feelings;
examines bis appearance, the conditions of the body, and ap·
plies every known rule by which he may obtain a knowledge
of the resulta of the medicine given. In following these instn1ctions
you are applying the God-given medicine, Nature's
remedies, and you are your own physician; therefore you must
carefully watch all symptoms, that you may know how properly
to apply these methods to yourself in order that the desired
results may be obtained. You must establish this condition of
miml within yourself and bold to it, making it a part of yourself;
keep it alive and active all the time, until it becomes a

a powerful will and a lively energy to conquer; but if the following

WHY DO THE STABB TWINKLE?•
Thia question baa iot.ereated all olaaaes of people from obildhood
to manhood, but no answer wu given until in recent years,
when in a newspaper we saw the theory of an astronomer, who
claimed that the twinkling of the stars wu the result of dark
hodies or balls paaaing between them and the earth. Of course
thia is aimply a theory, and we believe without foundation; and,
as all conclusions in regard to such matters must be drawn
from analogy, we have to look for the aolution of this question
in analogy born of something within the limit of the teleaoope'a
critical examination. But no adequate answer to such queetiona
will be obtained as long as astronomers bold as f oundation
principles ench vague and unreasonable theories aa that
our sun is a molten mass of fire, and as such must in aome future
time burn out anti become a dark body, when the life on
the planets revolving around it must necessarily perish. I
say aa long ae such a theory is held as the foundation principle
of astronomy, no answer worthy of our consideration can be
given to the question before us.
From revelations that have come to ue through knowledge
obtained Crom the science of Solar Biology, we think that we
have reached the unquestionable conclusion that worlds are
born from our central sun through a process o( refinement
goin~ on there similar to that taking place in the human body.

222 WnY Do THE STARS TWINKLE?
As the hnman mind develops and increases in power, the body
throws off the groeser material and takes on finer. Thia prooeea
gives finer mental abilities, stronger thought powers, which, in
turn, react upon the material in the body, causing it to eiiminate
the groeeer and assimilate the finer. This is the root of
the law of evolutionary development, which haa reoently been
accepted by some of our scientist&.
Aa a result of this evolutionary unfoldment the human race
is becoming, in the language of the Bible, "weaker and wiser."
The naturalist tells us that there waa a time when all the life
upon the planet appeared in giant forms of purely animal and
reptilian e:itiatence, and that in the proceas of the refinement
of the planet, thoae mammoth creatures have passed away and
animals of leas physical power have taken their place. But
instead of physical power there now exists activity and vivao.
ity, and instead of men, giants in strength and physiual stature,
we have men of moderate stature but of greater mind
power; and students and thinkers on the subject of man and
his relation to the universe, his component elements and AO
forth, believe that the time must come when the man of this
planet will reach a state of refinement so high and so perfect,
that his physical body will be luminous and shining as the sun
light. A like ort"ler prevails in the development of the universe:
if our sun bas wol'lds born to it, and if the earth is one of its
children, we must expect that the earth and all the planets
will become like their parent and will also have children. Our
moon is the off11pring of the earth, and we may reasonably infer
that the time will come when anotbe~ moon will be born
from our planet. We are told by astronomers, and through the
telescope we may IK'e for ourselves, that the other planet-& have
worlds, moons, ciroling around them.
Now, if the order of evolution is from the grosser to lhe
finer, we must conclude that as the worlds born from our
Digitized by Google

Tue B10.c.oo1cAL JoUBMAL. 228
sun become more refined, they gradually drift away from their
parent center and usume the nature and appearanoe of their
parent, and, consequently, are leu dependent upon it for their
nourishment of light and heat; in other words, they begin to
live from themselves. We are told that Jesus said: "For as
the Father hath life in himaelf; 80 hath he given to the Son to
have life in himaelf," and I believe that we all unite in regarding
him as the great prototype of the coming race of our earth,
and as the raoe, 80 muat be the world that it inhabittt.
A thought that has been sweeping over our planet like a
tidal wave is, that "all ia life;" and aoienoe has loug reoognized
that even the rocks are living matter. We are here brought
face to face with deep thought, which is merely speculative to
the auperficial thinker, but which to my mind seems auaoeptible
of proof by the mathematics of logic.. It is that, if all is
life, and if evolution is the law of humanity, then, as the human
family are like their surroundings and the land. upon which
they live (scientists have recognized the fact that the nature
and character of the people are influenced by the qualities of
the land and surroundings), it follows that the development
and unfoldment of the race must either lead or follow the
changing conditions, the development and unfoldment, or refinement
of the qualities, of the planet on which they live. The
life of a planet is one life; therefore it must, to a very great
extent, move altogether as one body, for the body, as a whole,
is dependent upon each particular part. We thus arrive at
the inevitable conclusion that, as planets grow and mature,
they are refined, and the burnt-out ashes, or grosser material,
are thrown off to form the beginning of other worlds,-moons.
It is, therefol'e, only a matter of time when our world will be a
shining, luminous body like the parent sun.
Now let us turn once more to the probable cause of the
twinkling of the stars. It is well known that when one's mind

224 WHY Do THE STARS TWINXLE?
beoomes animated and aoti ve, the oountenauoe lights up, and
aa thoughts form and 6nd expression, the light of the face
changes rapidly, the eyes flash with a peculiar light, and the
whole system beoomea radiant. Now, if all life is one lire, and
if a world, including its inhabitants, is developed to a st.ate of
unfoldment in which it is luminous, it naturally follows that
as great thoughts sweep over a planet, they are like flashes of
light; and M every quality of thought is produced by a different
number of vibrations of mind element, it must be that, as
these thoughts flash over a world, different colors are assumed,
and according to their intensity is the flash, as in the cue of
an electric light. Even now on our earth, dark and alow as
are its heart-throbs of ment.al life, it ha.11 been long recognized
that one wave of thought succeeds another. It began first
with what were called "Fads" rolling over the planet; it now
begins to assume the fo.rm of thought waves. At present we
are in the midst of a thought wave of which the central expression
is, All is mind, all is life, all is spirit. And may we
not reasonabl_v expect that, as the race unfolds and the earth
hl'comes more like its parent, the race will be more capable of
grMpiog more quickly and folly the new thoughts that pass
over the planet, so that aa the people become more and more
refined and spiritualized, less time will be required for thonghta
to penetrate and permeate the race, and ftash after flash of
thonght will pass over the worlcl like rays of electric light.
As this condition of things is so remote from anything
. that is absolutely known, or has ever been known in the
world, it is neoeRsary that we once more turn to look for
evitlencea in analogy. It bas been accepted by all astronomers
that eve1·y star differ~ from every other st.ar in the heav·
ens. We know that children of the same parents

THE BIOLOGICAL Joumr.u.. 225
"Jupiter present& the following principal physical habitodes:
He has a diameter of about eighty.five thousand miles, or
nearly eleven times as large as the earth's, a surface one hundred
and fifteen times larger, and, as I have said, a volume
more than twelve hundred timee larger. Gravity at hiunrface is
about two and a half times as great as on our earth's, so that
such creatures as exist aroudd WI would find their weight much
more than doubled if they were removed t.o Jupiter. He lies
more than five times farther from the sun than our ea1·th, aud
the light and heat which he receives from that orb are reduced
t.o about one.twenty-fifth of our supply. He rotates on his axis
in rather leas than ten. hours (nine boure, fifty-five minutes,
twenty-six seconds), 80 that the length of his day ie oonaiderably
lees than haJr of ours. His axis is nearly perpendicular t.o
his orbit, 80 that there are no appreciable seasonal changes as
he sweeps around the sun in his long year of 4, 832.5 days."
Jupiter ia called by this author the giant of the Solar System.
Thia enormous planet has been seen t.o exhibit a peculiar
changing phenomenon. We quote the following from the
above work: .. So far. then, as inquiries have as yet been pushed,
all that can be asserted on the subject we are considering is, ·
that the planet's belts vary greatly in form, extent, aud general
appearance. At one time the dusky belts cover a large proportion
of the planet's disk, at anothe1· they are singularly narrow.
Now they are very regularly disposed, now they seem in
some way under the action or disturbing forces of great intensity,
causing them to assume a most irregular figure. • • •
Jo the conr$e of a single hour, CasRini saw a complete new
belt form on the planet, and on December 13, 1690, two well.
marked belts vanished completely, while a third had almost
disappeared in the same short interval of time. • • • Now,
during the autumn of 1869 and the 11pring of 1870, thie
belt hae been mo1·e strongly colored than any part of the
planet. Mr. Browning, observiug Jupiter in the earlier part

of the abo~named interval, foun(l the equatorial belt of a
greeniah-yellow oolor, whioh deepened in Ooor, 1869, to a
full oohreiah yellow, and in January of the pre&t>nt year had
auumed an e'9n darker tint, reeembling yellow ochre."
Here ia a planet of our 10lar ayatem which gives e,;Jenoea
of forces aotiYe upon it which are out of all proportion to any
poaaible influence that the aun'a rays oould have on it, or, in
other worda, the.ee foroea act from the life upon it. This, and
ita strange belta of cloud formation, changing from one hue to
another in a abort apace of time, are entirely unaccounted for
by astronomers. If we should look 11teadily at the planet Ju.
piter during the period of tbeae changes, we would probably
eee a gradual change in the oolor of the light received from it.
These ohanpa seem to be a alow beginning of the twinkling
seen in some of the atan in the heavens; for instanee, if at
this period of the year, we turn our attention to the north·
eastern aky, just eut of the North Star, we will aee a bright

presence; and although it takea theee thoughta ouly the amall
portion of a aeoood to flash aorou the diak of the planet, yet we
can imagine, from our limited experience in thought, that there
might exiRt a raoe of such refined intelligenoe, that thoughts
of such gigantic proportions and wonderful oomprebenaiveneu
might be fully realized in that brief apaoe of time, and that
the glory and magnitude of theae thoughta oause that oeaaeleaa
change; for the same thought never recurs to the mind, but the
ooune of the uniTene ia on, forever on. A.a the Angel said to
John, "There ia no night there, for the Lord God giveth them
light." Therefore, aa we sit quietly looking at yon star, our
soul intently ftxed upon God. the .Father of all life. it ia not
hard to feel the heart throbs of the Io6nite Soul, and we even
imagine that we may catch a little ray of those wondrous
thoughts that are so oontinuo111tly fl&llhing out from world to
world. All these worlds are, as it were, the body of the Infl..
nite. and God the soul, forever speaking those wondroua words
of life and light. Therefore it is good to watch the stars while

Born in Portland, Maine, upon the 27th of February, 1807,
hie earthly pedestal was that of Pisces, and his Polarity,
Scorpio. He looked out upon human life, with his little bark
riding upnn the waters of an nnknowu sea. all ahout him.
What shall the voyage be? 'Ve note at the outset the important
fact that Jupiter in Cancer, the Moon in Scorpio, and
Earth and Mara in Pisces, formed a Watery Triplicity of un·
usual obarc&cter. Great Jupiter at the head of that Triplioity
imparted to his nature ideality a• to home and all which that
sacredly implies. The Moon iu Scorpio produced a versatile,
creative menta1ity, combined wit.h unusual will power; while
Earth and Mars in Pisces demonstrated the fact that the corubine, "the Heavens
declared the glory of the Lord" uuto him in a wondrous
way. Mercury made subtle and strong his ttiscriminations anti
his intuitions. It related them somewhat to the reproductive
element, and formed the ha.sis of much of a versatile order,
which, as time advanced, was clearly demonstrated. PhyMfoally
it gave him a stomach of much value, and aideJ thereby in
vitalizing his entire body.

his mind at this early period. The true relation of body, mind,
and soul were already his.
The Trinity of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, which so clearly
formed the baaia of his life, found fruitage considerably
through absorption as well as education. They formed a restless
sea, upon which he sailed in joyfulness with the sky clear
and the winds favorable. During this time the classic past
breathed upon him its refining, ennobling power, and his susceptible
nature partook of it as food from the gods. But the Occident
had also its mi88ion for him. Boston, as the modern Athens,
fed his soulful outreachiogs. Emenon, Whittier, and Dr.
HolmeR, were a trinity unto him-philosophically, prophetically,
and hnmoronsly. Gemini, Sagittarius, and Virgo united their
forces npon our rt>stless Pisces, and thus all the four elements
found expression through his absorbing and coalescing nature.
The element of time wronght its mission upon him in a
truly evolutionary way. The inspirational power of Mars in
the watery sign in which he was born, stirred his restless
nature into high activities, while the balancing power of Mercury
in Virgo, caused bis discriminations to be subtle and
strong. The fact that he could write "Excelsior'' at the age of
thirty.fou1', illnstrate3 how early he c.:>ncl:lived that "Onward
and upward" was a motto involving true living here, and immortality
beyonrl the human activities.
At the age of thirty-five he wrote:­
"Half my life is gone, and I have let
The years slip from me, and have not fulfilled
The aspirations of my youth, to build
Some tower of song, with lofty parapet."
And yet this restless Pisces was all the while becoming a literary
encyclopedia. He was as1nuniog bis rightful place in that
noble aristocracy of inspired men which Americanism, in ite
best sense, was then producing.

282 HENRY W ADBWORTB LoNGFELLOW.
Pisces natures are uaoally romantic in some way. Mr. Longfellow
waa no exception. The formulation in succession of
"Evangeline," "The Court.ship of Miles Standish," and "Hiawatha,"
showed clearly how fertile he was in the unfolding of
three of the moet beautiful and ve.....tile poems in the English
langnage.
Again, like all Pisces natures, he was ever diatroetful of hia
own attainments. It will be observed that he was equally endowed
in the four trinities (two each, aa the Circle shows),
which naturally caused an ever-increasing equability of temper·
ament, so that, with the enlargement of his comprehensioua,
there gradually grew the greater thought that he must produce
"Chriatu.&: A Mystery." When forty-two years of age (1849)
he began his work upon it, writing in his diary at that time:
"And now I long to find a loftier strain, the sublimer song whose
broken melodies have for so many years breathed through my
soul in the better hours of life." As bis inspirations from
time to time became lofty, he pondered and wrote upon it during
the next twenty-three years. It stands the master-piece of
his soulful genius and calm aspirational medit.tions. Thia
demonstrates how the Piscean nature may trend its restless
waves into that sweet placidity where it can look up, a.s the
close of human life is coutemplated, and say:-
"There is no death I what seems so is transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whoee portal we call .Dtiath."

The writer propoeee t.o base the argument of the concluding
number of this eeries of articles upon two propositions which
have become sufficiently established by deductions of the most
advanced authority to be considered lk!ientific axioms. Profeeeor
Huxley gives poetic expression to the 6ntof these great
truths when he eayg that, "amid the mysteries which become
the more mysterious the more they are thought about, there
will remain the one abeolnte certainty, that man is ever in the
presence of an Infinite and Eternal Energy from which all
things proceed;'' or. more briefly, all things proceed from an
Infinite and Eternal energy. The second of the two principles
underlying the doctrine of ~evolution is the continuity of
law,-the operation of the same laws in absolutely unbroken
sequence throughout the entire course of universal evolution.
These two stat.emente fumiRh the only eatisfact.ory key t.o the
proceeees of evolution, for they &l"e all-comprehensive, holding
within themselves all truth, all law. It is with the first of
these principle11 that we have mainly to do, as, in the light of
modern science, a simple statement of the second-the continn·
oueneee of law-is probably all that is necessary; it has been
beautifully and forcibly said that '"continuity is the expression
of Divine veracity in nature ...

or manifestation of "an Infinite Energy," a Rtudy of the

which life proceeds. Now, we find that all activit.y may be resolved

TB• BIOLOGICAL JOURNAL. 235
activity must necessarily be an important factor in determining
the finer variations of quality, yet the direction taken by
these lines is obviously the fundamental principle of oonstruction,
by which not only the basic or most radical qualities are
established, but utJOn which rests the scheme of organization,
individualization.
In vortex motion we find the lines of force moving in four
totally distinct directiona,-ao distinct that if a line of direction
be in each case indefinitely extended, the result will be four
right angles, or a square. Consequently, creative organization
in order to be oomplet.e demands that the lines of construction,
by which form and also quality are determined, shall move in
four directions of such a character that, although a fourfold
conjunction may occur, yet at no point, however small, is it possible
for any two of the lines to pursue the same course, or to
become identical; that is, in perfect organization form and
quality must find four distinct means of expression, four diatinct
means of individualization,-individualization in such an
absolute sense that it is impoasible for any one form, or expression
thereof to lose its identity in any other one.
Thia is the occult significance of the square, which in symbolism
stands for the ultimates of organization.• It is the truth
tlmbodied in the Tetragrammaton,-He of the Four Letters
appears aa the Four in One, furnishing the pattem according
to which are to move those lines of Divine Energy which are
to ultimate in the structure of the ag~,-the Temple of God.
If the evolution of the race and of the planet is to result in
the perfection of form and quality, then the ultimate entity,
the One, is to be composed of four distinct individuals; and
in accordance with Nature's methods, for she "takes no leaps,"
we would expect to find the most distinctly characteristic expressions
of form and quality dominated, in both instances,
throughout the whole course of evolution by the number Four.

Turning, then, t.o a brief examination of the principles of
form and quality, the pair so indi880luhly linked t.o the condi.
tion of Being, we find one allied oaoae, the other to ultimat.eR;
that is, the quality of life antedates every other distinction,
and ia dependent upon the source of snpply, while form is det.ermined
by fnnction,-function in the sense of the activities
neoeeeary t.o existenoe,-and is, consequently, the substantial fact.or
of evolution. Form, therefore, is the distinguishing feature
of the more advanoed evolutionary states, while quality is
closely connected with supply. Now, this is unquestionably
the relation sustained t.o each other by the two great divisions
of terrestrial life, the animal and the vegetable kingdome,-the
one, the marked expreaeion of the principle of form, function;
the other of quality. Therefore, in the animal kingdom, at the
head of which stands man, we mutst look in the direction of
form, arising in function, for the manifestation of the charact.eristic
Four; on the other hand, in the vegetable world, where
chemiam, or vital supply, is the leading thought, of which color
is the visible expreaaioo, we are prepared to see the number
Four a prominent factor in the basic problem of nutrition­
Four, linked to color, should the pen sesatM to the fountain
of supply.
Turning, therefore, t.o the animal kingdom for prophetic
evidence of the fourfold ultimate of ter1'88trial evolution. and
recognizing the fact that inquiry in this direction must be inquiry
into function and its effect upon development-that is,
activity expressed in form-we will have the evidence for
which we seek if we find that in man, who is the culmination
of animal life, the appropriate acti vitiea, function, dispose
themselves naturally into four well-defined divisions, and that
Nature announces this quadruple division in the unmistakable
language of form.
A little reflection will convince the most superficial inquirer
that the human activities do find their most natural gl'ouping
under four heads; namely, (1) the intellectual, (2) the maternal,-activitiea
allied to nutrition, (3) the reproductive, (4)

and those of mucular action-motion, including, of oonne,
looomotion. Thia grouping is u old u are human records, for
mysticism, which is auppoeed t.o concern it.aelf with the 1-wa
of life, hu always and does now aooept this division.
Now, what has Natlll'8 t.o say of snob an arrangement. She
does simply this: she makes the clear and unmistakable atat;e.
ment, at the very beginning of animal exiat.enoe-that ie, in the
embryo-that this ie her plan of oonatruotion. Like a wiee and
orderly arohiteot, she makes a chart of her dMign and then
prooeeJs to build aooordingly, looking always toward the ultimate
structure, which shall present her first work.manlike stat.emeot
in well-defined perfection. A few words in regard t.o
embryonic development will show how emphatioally and beau·
tifully she sketches her plane.
As formulation advances, the embryo, the ohemioal oonatitnents
of which are four in number-Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen,
and Nhrogen-dividea int.o four parts, or germ-layers, which nl•
timately unfold. respectively, int.o thoee partaof the animal body
which perform the functions of intellection, nutrition, repro..
duction, aml muscular action. From the upper of theee layers
develops the brain with its nerve connectiona, including the
outer akin, or covering of the body; in the eeoond layer the
organa of motion ariee,-the mnacular and bony structure; the
third layer unfolds into the organs of reproduction; and, finally,
from the lowest and fourth layer, the orbrans allied t.o the
alimentary or maternal function appear, upon which depend
nutrition, both of the individual and the offspring. Thus at
the door of life, the great an~hitect announces in the language
of form the four grand functions of the animal kingdom; and, aa
we have aeen, function, and consequent form, is the controlling
thought. the purpose, of this kingdom.
In the vegetable kingdom, where the purpoee of life is to
fnrnish the animal kingdom with the chemical elements necessary
t.o growth-that is, where quality is the governing though~
we must be prepared t.o find in the potent Four the magic key
which unlocks the g~at storehouse of supply; its benignant
presence must this time be linked t.o the pivotal problem of

nutrition, and it mnst be UROOiat.ed with oolor, the distinguish.
ing characteristic of the vital or chemical element. The oolor,
however, with whioh it baa formed an allianoo would naturally
be that oolor which in the octave of primary colors occupies the
place corresponding to the one held by Earth in the creative
acale, or the Octave of W orlde. Thia oolor we know to be
green, of which fact the appearance of nature leaves no doubt.
Now, in view of what baa been said, the position of the num·
her Foor in vegetable existence is, if pouible, more significant
than that assigned to it in the animal kingdom; for, through
its connection with nutrition, it speaks into being, and sostaioa
the life of, the whole plant world. Nor are we disappointed
in expecting to find it inseparably unit.ed to the color green:
in the animal kingdom, where form (function) wu the spok·
en word which dominated all else, the Foor was content to
express itself simply by means of that word; but here, in the
plant world, where quality, whose rightful expreesion is color,
holds sway, the number Four, with gentle courtesy, blends its
own language, that of form. with color, the language of the
kingdom in which it finds itself.
A more definite presentation of this thought wi11 be found
in the following fact.a. For nutrition and it.a green color, plant
life is absolutely dependent upon the presence of a certain sub·
stance known u chlorophyll, which is composed of minute
green corpuscles. Deprived of these corpuscles, plants are un·
able to a&Aimilate their food; and under such circumstances
only those that are parasites are able to sustain life. The
unique character of the chlorophyll corpuscles hu occasioned
much wonder and speculation among 11Cientists. They seem
in some unknown way to be in peculiar sympathy with the
solar energy; for deprived of the sun's rays, they lose their
color and fail to do their work, and so the plant dependent
upon them dies. It is u though through them is spoken the
solar word which gives life to the vegetable kingdom; aa
though through them the plant looks up to the great father
of light for the vital energy of its existence.

THE BIOLOGICAL JoUJ&N~ 289
The chlorophyll corp118Cles are undoobt.edly the key t.o the
problem of vegetable life; and if the Creator of all speaks anywhere
in the vegetable world of the great design of terrestrial
life, of the ultimate character of his purpose, surely we
may expect t.o find the expre&Rion of the thought in these
little green entities through which the life energies enter the
plant kingdom. Let us, therefore, proceed to examine further
int.o these strange little oorpoacles. In the first place
in chemical composition they represent Foor,-the Four
which stand at the portal of all physical life; namely, Carbon,
Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Oxygen. In form they are
spherical, and thus present the creative scheme of organiza.
tion-that of four different lines of construction, organiza.
tion composed of a fourfold individuality. Lastly, the very
existence of these little individuals reata upon the number
Four, for each one performs the function of reproduction by
dividing int.o four equal parts; and thus, by an inverse proceaa,
four instead of one take up life's miuion. Thus aa t.o form,
quality (chemical constitution), and the origin of life, the
three conditions necessary to Being, does Foor, linked to
Earth's own oolor,• solve the problem of life for these tiny entities.
We especially note the fact that the life of the whole
vegetable kingdom depends upon the chlorophyll corpuscles, and
that at the foundation of their own exiaten

net only the vegetable world, but, as has been previously shown,
it also upholds the animal world.
The writer feels that the facts cit.ed up to the present point
certainly prove all that hu been claimed for them; namely,
that the world's Great Archit.ect enters upon his work of oonetruction
just aa an earthly architect doee,-he first sketches a
plan of hie design and then proaeeda with the building, always
keeping in view that tlret well-defined chart, which the ultimate
is to bring out in the substantial lines of a glorious realization.
But in this instance work advanoee by a double line
of operation: in one department (the animal kingdom), work
upon the structure itself moves forward; in the other (the nge·
table kingdom), are the "hewers of wood and the drawers of
water," the workmen who supply the material which must enter
into the building proper. Nevertheleu, in order that there
may be no misunderstanding as to bis ultimate purpose, the Wise
Arcbit.ect places in the keeping of each department, at the
very beginning of the work, a carefully executed draught of
the nltimate, and never afterward .allows that draught t.o be
lost eight of.
Now, does this thing ha}lpen by chance? Would not the Divine
Arcbit.ect begin his work in at le88t as orderly a manner
u an earthly artist would? for the laws of ooustruction are the
the same, whether in operation through the agency of an earthly
bnilder or the Great Master Builder of the uni verse; and
these laws demand that a well-defined conception, a dnLught of
the ultimate, shall always prect'de the erection of the building.
Can we suppose that it is chance happening-this clearly-defined
thought of a fourfold individuality, placed u the foundation
principle of life for the two kingdoms of terrestial existence,
and which trails its well-marked lt>ngth through the whole
course of evolution? The contiuuousneRS of law renders it certain
that nothing happens by chance; that the apparently moat
insignificant events of evolutionary unfoldment are eloquent
with prophecy of the inconceivable grandeur of nltimat.es.

ical generation ia the order of life. This stage of development
-the development of a physical body-can exist upon bot one
planet of the Octave at a time; and when it has been aooompliahed
there, it is passed on to the world next in order. At
all times the seven states of unfoldment are active in the Oc.

note, ia doubled.
When Earth began the present dark chapter of its experience,

interior relation of the Mara race to the raoe of Earth, belongs

physical bodies belong to each other in the sense that they
came out from the Creator as one thought; the interior pair
from Mars sustain the same relation to each other; and so the
fourfold union is doubly welded.
But although there thus exists a union of four soul11, yet the
physical basis of existence-the physical body anti the planet itltllf-is
as yet only twofold; perfection demands that the fourfold
conception be ultimated. There are at present four worlds between
Venus and Jupiter: of thHe, the two nearest Jupiter are
in a fragmentary state by reason of having long ago attained
relative magnetic conditions which brought them into riolent
collision;• the third, Mars, is in "the old dark sileuce"-in the

These two diarupt.ed planets 1uatain a relation to each ot.lier

Consequently, the union of the two, in its effect upon the units

CHICAGO, ILL., Jan. 10, 1901.
Mr. H. E. BUTLER,
Dear Sir:-As some of our readers, who are studying the
effeota of the rising signs upon themselves. have not at all times
an Ephemeris or Zodiacal lndicat.or at their command, it bas
occurred t.o me to suggest the following method of roughly
determining the rising sign without other external means than
the small amount of data given herewith-which may be readily
memorized.
Each of the twelve signs riaea daily, and about four minutes
earlier each day, so that in our year of 865 days, each sign
rises 866 times; consequently, although the time of the rising
of Lhe sign varies from day to day, yet a certain sign will always
rise at the same time (with alight variations) on a certain
day of any year. For example, if we know that Aries
rises at noon on December 21, and that it rieea four minutes
earlier each day, or two hours earlier each month (of 80.5 days,
nearly) thereafter, in order to ascertain at what time Aries
rises on J 11ne 1, we simply count the number of months from
December 21 to May 21, and the number of days from May
21 to June 1; i. e., 5 months, at 2 hours each, equal 10 hours;
10 days, at 4 minutes each, equal 40 minute11. We therefore
aubtract the 10 houl'8 and 40 minutes from 12 noon, leaving
1 h. 20 m, A. M. If we wish t.o know at what time Aries rises
on September 15, count the number of months from December
21 back to September 21 and the number of days from Sep·
tember 21 to September 15; i.e., S months, at 2 hours each,
equal 6 hours; 6 days, at 4 minutes each, equal 24 minutes •
.Adding 6 boon and 24 minutes t.o 12 o'clock noon, the result
is 6.24 P. M.

Now, having ascertained when Aries rises, if we wish to
know when Leo will rise, we simply add to the Aries time the
length of time it takes Aries, Tanros, Gemini, and Cancer to
rise, the total being the time Leo begins to ascend. On the
other hand, if the time of the rising of Capricorn is desired,
subtract from the Aries time, the sum of the periods of Pisces,
Aquarius, and Capricorn, the result will be the time sought.
I think the above examples sufficient to illustrate the method
pursued, and I will simply append the time each sign takes in
rising at this place,-42 degrees North Latitude. While the
following table is not absolutely correct, yet it will be found
sufficiently accurate to be uaed in a rough way for the largest
cities of the U.S.
Aries 1 h. 15 m. Leo 2 h. 30 m. Sagittarius 2 h. 20 m.
Taurus 1 " 80 " Virgo 2 '' 30 •• Caprioorn 1 " 55 "
Gemini 1. " 65 " Libra 2 " 30 " Aquarius 1 " 30 "
Canoor 2 " 20 '' Scorpio 2 " SO '\ Pisces 1 " 15 "
After one has become familiar with this method of calculation,
the operation may often be shortened by taking advantage
of the fact that, while Aries rises at 12 noon on December
21, Libra rises at miclnight of the same date; also that Libra
rises at midday and Aries at midnight on June 21~ither of
these sigoa may be used aa a starting point.
Very truly yours, A. L. Nathan.

EDITORIAL.
We have a new edition of Sular Biulogy just from the presa. It
contains added tablee, including thoee for 1902; and ia a much fine"
volume than we have ever pot nron the market-not because there ia
very much additional matter in it , but beoauae we have better paper.
It ia now an elegant book, and well wodh the price.
The atudy of Solar Biolon ia one that eutera into and forma a part
of one'• mentality, more hlly, probably, than doea any one ayatem
or aeience. It really becomea a part of the atudent'a conaciouaneu,
eapecially when be atudiea his frienda and acqaaintancea by ihe light
that it aheda upon human character.
"Seven CreatiTe Prineiplea" ia now in ihe pl"t181, and we hope aoon
to have it completed, eo u to fill orders that are waiting.
We have in manU1Cript form a work, whieh, ihough not very extended
aa to aise, yet becauee of ita accuracy and from the fact that
it givea important data for pur~ of computation not to be found
elaewhere in print, will prove invaluable to etudenta of Astrology,
Solar Biology-in fact, to the at.udenta of Aetral Science in any of
ita many fol'Dll. Thia matter, together with the tables to be ueed in
connection therewith, will appear under cover with The Esoteric·
Ephemeris for the current year; the whole having been oompuU\d
and arranged by ~n astronomer of experience, one who baa had
observatory training.
The work in question will contain complete data for finding the
time of rising of zodiacal aigna, a table having been especially computed
showing Sidereal Time of Cuap-Riiiings for every degree of
North Latitude from Equator to 60°, corrected for epheroidal shape
of the Earth, and uailable, al10, for eame degrees of South Latitude.
Thia table will be uaeful fo1· any future year, as ita estreme
change will probably not exceed 5 1econds, in half a century. Greenwhich
time is need throughout, which makes change to standard time
involve even houra. Full explanations are given for 01e of all the
Tablea, with e11pecial reference to the needs of those not accuatomed
to mathematical work; and a few pagea are devoted to arithmetical
operations, including interpolation methods. Explicit directions are
given aa to the proper use of Standard Time. The Ephemeris proper
gives the Helioet!ntric Longitude of e!Mlh planet and the Moon to
minutes of arc for every day in the year; aho Sidereal Time of
Greenwich mean noon for each day. Gives exact time, to tenths of
minutee, of entrance of Moon and planets into each sign, corrected for
Nutation, showing in each case the time it takes for light to come
from planet to Earth.
We are now buaily engaged in reissuing aome of our boob, and,
consequently, may not be able to get this little book in print for several
weeks, but hope to advertise it in the next issue of The Journal
as being on sale.

Man, in his unfoldment, passes from the state of mere existence

that he is Individualized Will. On reaching this step in the

and emotions they evoke. A fortuirous combination of

But. alas! all these accumulations, this oeaaeleu strife

During thia pawie, man reaches the eeoond Stepping-Stone,
whiob ia Eaoterio in its nature, for it leads from the aenee
plane to the inner world. For a time the portals oloae on the
world of turmoil, while he withdraws into the Garden of Silence
placed in the interior of hia being, and there perceives
the roots of all the noxious weeds that poison existence without,

wheat and tares grow side by side, and all the seeds of decay
and disappointment are imbedded. He beholds the germs of
diaeaae and health spring from the same soil, to wreek a frail

While poised in contemplation on this second Stepping-Stone,

labyrinth of the world, be becomes conscious of one phenomenon
that bas followed him into his inner sanctuary, to which he
must of necessity respond with the same alacrity, though different
in degree, as do the contending forces without. He finds
himself subject t.o one impulse to which be must yield obedience.
He studies this one movement the vibrations of which
translate themselves int.o Light, the puhmtions of which become
the source of Life. It is the Breath of the U oiverse, causing
Earth and planets to revolve, lifting the crested waves of ocean

PRACTICAL APPLICATIOM.
Tracing life, in all its modifi.cation and in all its manif estation,
to the One Souroe,-the Great Breath, oognizing it aa
the basis of the Universal Will, man stands forth as its oonacious
embodiment. But in order to unfold all the reaouroea
of bis own nature, and thereby gain the promised dominion of
the forcea without, be must learn the law governing the Breath
and use it wisely at all times. Without this knowledge man
breathes at haphazard, thereby limiting the sphere of hia will
and acts; for the vital basis of every emotion is the Breath,­
it is the propelling power of the system, of which the various
organs, such as heart and lungs, are but the machinery. Observe
a few of its functions: tears and laughter are externalized
by the Breath; there is the bated breath of awe, the suepended
breath of fear or terror, the fluttering breath of joy,
and so on ad infinitum.
And to what heights of bliss cannot the esoteric knowledge
of the Breath lift us, as we ascend on the upward breath
to the realm of Inspiration! To some extent the teachers of
song and oratory base their methods upon the exoteric knowledge
of the Breath; and the Instructors of the Race are
now taking up this mighty theme in its esoteric significance,
spreading this grand truth of how the upward breath serves to
open the gate leading to our inmost being, by its upward movement
fanning into life and activity the talents and faculties
latent within. This inspiring breath, when long snstained by
practice, expands the .. Silver Thread" until it connects with the
White Light, all-pervading and all-powerful. It fills the lungs

vigor. In this upliftment, which is the spiritual attitude of
prayer, when the Breath is raised t.o ita utmost capacity, when
all paaaions are stilled, ao that the mind is calm as an unruffled
lake, the Soul-light reflects all knowledge of earth and air therein,
only limited by ita receptive capacity. No leu powerful is
the action of the out-going breath. When sustained by Will
and Purpose all germs of disease, whether of mind or body are
forcibly expelled.
Thoee who desire to teet the eftioaoy of these suggestions,
who have started on the Path by leading the pure life so long
advocated in the pages of this Journal-which oontinuea ita

TWO EXPERIENOES.
LETl'ING GO.
It wu a sunny day in eal'ly autumu. The golden sun fell
ulant through the oak leaves not yet touched by the bru11h of
the year's artiitt, and rested careaaingly on the grass below.
Within the schoolroom all was aerene. The pupila, intent
on the preparation of their leaaon11, the teacher, on the claaa
work, heeded not the unwonted sound of wheels on the oampUI.
Suddenly a long.drawn rasping drew the attention of all from
that which had engroaaed it. Again and again in quick auo.
cession came the hanh, grating sound, causing some to shiver,
others to frown. Several oovered their ears; the remainder
appeared to brace them11elvea to resist each shook to their audit-01·y
nerves. The work of recitation came to a stand11till. It
was impoeaible to continue a convenation.
"Only one load of coal," remarked the teacher in a pauae
between the emptying of bukets into the iron spout which ext.ended
into thff cellar beneath their feet. "It will soon be unloaded.
Meantime we will exert ounelves to endure the sound,
and wait until the unloading ia complete."
In the space of a few moments, the welcome sound of wheels
WU beard.
••Now we will continue," said the teacher.
The almost inaudible roll shortly grew louder and louder,
and again did discordant vibrations set the list.enera teeth on
edge. A boy looked out of the window •

••We shall be obliged to have a written recitation," replied

Mies E., as u she placed on the blackboard questions and requirements.
"It will hardly last all day."
Nevertheless, the noise continued almost without interruption
through the entire forenoon. As soon as one load of black
diamonds had slid with grating objections into the school coal
bin, another was ready to follow it. The dri•era of the two
wagons seemed to be able to time their arrival and devarture
with the utmost nicety, for after the first load there was always
coal outside. At noon, flushed faces and heavy eye11-notably
among the girls in the early t.eena-ahowed the effect of the
oonatant harsh vibrations.
"How my head aches!" said one to Miaa E., as the line
marched past the platform at diamisaal.
"l don't wonder," she returned. "My own bead feels tired."
"l hope it will not continue this afternoon," she thought, as
abe noted in the paaaing line others who looked ill.
But her hopee were in vain. A new load appeared promptly
with the first bell. At registration six were missing.
"The coal was too much for their nerves. It will be well
for us all when four o'clock comes-and this is Friday," was
Miaa E's mental comment.
During the first recitation there were two men dumping: to
Mias E's rasped nerves it seemed as if the coal took a fiendish
delight in its noisy descent.
"Oh, I wish i hadn't come!" exclaimed a slender, delicate
girl. "It makes me shiver all over, and it feels as if every
shovelful fell on my head."
"Thia may be the last load," returned Mias E. reassuringly.
"Heaven help us if it isn't!"-mentally.
But no: without intermission went on the song of the coala:­
Slide-de-de-d-d-Scoop ! Scoop!
Scoop-Sooop-Pour-r-r-r-r-

clock!" remarked the teacher. taking advantage of a momentary
pause while the empty wagon and the full one changed
places.
Like a flash of enlightenment came the thought, "Instead of
resisting these unusual vibrations, why not atop resisting and
try t.o adjust myself temporarily to them? It may be like my
experience in conquering car sickneRs through a similar suggestion
from a friend. It is a sort of letti11g go-of the mental
atateJirst, then of the bodily. 1 will try it."
Miss E. listened: it was now Scoop, Scoop-S-1-i-d-e, to her
ear.
"Anapest verse, or syncopated measure!"
"One, two, three; one, two, tht·ee," she counted in thought.
A feeling of relaxation, of ease was creeping over her. In less
than ten minutes the sound bad become almost a satisfaction.
She f"lt that she had fallen in with the strange rhythm and it
now seemed one with her. Though the coal heaving continued
without intermiuion, ehe was able to go calmly on with her
work, though all her plans were disarranged because of the
impouibility to hear or study. Through the laat hour she
scarcely heard it.
'•Try to accommodate yourself to the awing, or time. It la
one, two, thru (lone). Count it with the noise for a while.
I am doing so, and I have ceased to mind it," ahe aaid t.o her
pupils.
But they, bound by the five physical aenaea, could not grasp
the "what"-much Iese the "how."
Aa ahe sat at her deak and pondered after all had gone, her
thought t.ook form something like thia:-
"The coal experience bas given me new ideas, perhaps taught
me a new and valuable lesson. If we can adjust ourselves to
jarring physical vibrations and overcome them, may we not do

thus avoid friction and gain power? I wonder if I did eo
unconsoioualy when I began work in this schoolroom. The
warning from various souroea that this was •the toughest room
in town,' that for year4 it had been the terror of the teachers
and the deapair of the Superintendent, did not intimidate or
dithearten me. I felt intuitively that I had within me the abil.
ity to govern them. And a more lovable, agreeable roomful
of young people than they now are, would be hard to find.
True, some of them have traits and tendencies that in the early
days of my teaching, while still under the sway of my Puritanic
training, I should havtt felt it a duty to bear down on
severely, and the result would have been diacord. My wider
knowledge of human nature and of the Go11pel of Love and
Peace help me to •let go' sometime•, when otherwise I should
grip tenaciously. Within the past year I have seen iraacibility
aoften into amiability, crudeness into oonrtesy, and that without
friction; largely by •letting go' of the retributive idea, men·
tally putting myself into their places, and trying to adjmit myself
to them, and them gradually to my ideal.

I was painfully aware that I had a stomach, and, from variona
other symptoms, felt apprehensive of a return of my old enemy,
malaria. There was pJenty of work awaiting my pencil, or
needle, but I felt a distaste for everything-work, reading,
amusement; even letter writing seemed abhorrent. "ls there
anything in the world worth living for!" was my thought.
The clouds had broken away at sunset, and now the sky waa
olear, and the stars looked down with friendly eyes. I sallied
out and sauntered down the street, looking up at Cassiopeia,
Lyra, and my particular favorite, Corona Borealis, until 1
came into the glare of the electric light, whose rays obseured
them. As I plodded along, suddenly a voice from above spoke
to my inner bearing: "Rise! come up out of your stomach into
your brain. 8tay there. Yon have lived long enough in
your stomach." Startled by the distinctness, without consciona
effort I felt my real self rising from the feet and expanding
into the air as if partly above the body. The feeling of weakneaa
and despondency waa gone. Involuntarily I quickened
my paoe, and my step which before was lagging, heavy, and
flat-footed, now became elastic. It seemed as if my feet scarcely
touched the slates beneath them. The voice oontinued:­
"Y on had subsided into your stomach and allowed it to obacure
your brain, even as the near but weaker light of electric
waves through carbon pencils obscured the remoter but finer,
and hence more powerful, vibrations of the stan. Do not
again descend." When I feel myself collapsing, I say in the
words of my Mentor, "Rise! live in the brain."
Thus may we grow in knowledge if we listen and obey when
"the still small voice" speaks to our souls.

AN ORIENTAL PROPHECY.
Those who are not-shall I say, 80 fanatic? or 80 nearly
insane by reason of new ideas which they are just imbibing,
aa to torn entirely from the Hebrew Scriptures, will find in
the 22nd, 23rd. and 24th chapters of Numbers a moat remarkable
account of a great mystic in the time of Israel. He was,
however, not of Israel, neither did he have, laid deep in his
heart, the morality and uprightness that had been taught to the
children of Israel. Upon reading these chapters yon will see
that he had the most perfect and positive guidance of the
Spirit, and the instruction to say that Israel was to be altogether
blessed of God and not to be cursed at all; in all of
wlaioh be was perfectly obedient. While in this aooount there
i• nothing said of his having taught Balak a way by which be
oonld get the upper hand of Israel, yet in .Revelation II. 14,
we read that Balaam taught Balak to cast a stnmblingblock
in the way of Israel, that they might sin and bring evil upon
themselves and weaken their powers. It was by this means that
Moab saved itself from de.'ltruction and remained a thorn in the
side of Israel during the entire stay in the Land of Promise. In
the 24th chapter of Numbers, beginning with the 15th verse,
we find the following remarkable prophecy. (We quote the
15th and 18th verses from the translation by Rabbi Leeaer,
which we deem a better translation than that of the King ,James
Tersion: the remainder is better in the King James version.)
"Thus saith Balaam the son of Beor, and thus saith the man
whose eyes are open:
"ThnR BRith he who hea1'eth the sayings of God, and knoweth
tho kuowltidge of the Moat High, who aeeth the vision of
the Almighty, falling clown with unveiled eye1.

"l shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not
nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Septre shall
rise out of Israel, and shall smite the oornera of Moab, and
destroy ~all the children of Sheth.
"And Edom shall be a poaeession, Seir also shall be a poe-
1e11ion for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
"Out of Jaoob shall come he that shall have dominion, and
ahall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
"And when he looked on Amalek, he took up this parable,
and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but hie latter
end shall be that he perish forever.
·. "And he looked on the Kenitea, and took up his parable,
and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou putteet thy
nest in a rook.
"Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Aeahur ahall
carry thee away captive.
"And he took up hill parable, and said, Alu, who ahall live

"And ships ahall come from the coast of Chittim, and ahall
afBict Asshur, and shall aftlict Eber, and he also ahall perish

"And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place;
and Balak also went his way.''
You who with the spirit of wiadom read the worda of Balaam,
in which he says, "I ahall see him but not now; I shall
behold him but not nigh: out of Jaoob shall come he that shall
have dominion," will see that the Spirit pointed down through
the 'ages, when, after Balaam, aa a man, had left the body,
after Israel, as a people that then lived, had paaaed away, after
the cycle had been completed and the time arrived for the
dominion of the earth to be given into the handa of men,­

and the faithfulness of bis desire to obey the guidance of bis
God. So will he oome again, imbued with all the light of the
East to eatabliah again the wisdom of his day: and at thia
time there shall come a star out of Jacob, w bich aball also
have a standing upon the earth,-one who shall have the dominion.
Then will be see him, aa Balaam aaid be would many
yean ago, 0 but not nigh;" and as he looks acroaa the ooean to
the new world, he beholds the star of hrael, he who baa the
dominion.
We see in thia prophecy that the f ullneas of time to which
the prophet referred is upon ns, and those of his people who
are here-and shall we not say he himself, incarnate aa one
of the Oriental masters, perhaps the dominant one, if there is
such an one-behold the rising star of the W eatern Continent.
He knows that from this western land will come be who is to
have the dominion; nevertheless. aa he holds to his old doctrines,
beliefs, and magical charms, be, in many cases, teaches the
adversaries of that rising star to cast a stumblingblock in ita
way, that it may sin and fall, and that he and hie may have
the supremacy. But in the time of Balaam, Israel waa but a
child, just free from four hundred years of slavery-he was
then easily enticed into evil; on the other hand, the rising star
of the West, baa for long centuries been in freedom and in
power of thought, knowledge, and will, and it will go straight
forward and will not be turned .aside, neither can there be any
stnmblingblock thrown in it.a way that will long hinder ita
progress.
The present time is as the time of Israel: there are thousands
in this enlightened land who have, with Balak, been worshiping
Balaam, the Fire God, and the land is being filled with
the onlt of India and Egypt, and it would seem to the external,
reasoning mind that in this is to be the glorious rising of the

imagination, and be shall there be enthroned, holding the dominion,
not only of the West, of the North, of the East, of the
South, but of the whole round globe.
Balaam, you were true to yoar faith, but yon thought it no
harm to teach your friend methods by which be oould put a
stumblingblook in the way and bring evil upon Israel, but
that germ seed you then sowed has grown, matured, and become
a tree. It.a f ruitage now fills your people; therefore they
think to crush out that star of Jacob, by whatever means may
be in their power; but it shall rise-"there is no enchantment
against it," and you have no powers, no knowledge, no source
of inspiration to which it has not aooess; consequently, it shall
rise and you as a body shall again fall,-fall to rise no more.
But you, Balaam, and the whole body or aooiety to which you
belong, shall not die, shall not be destroyed, for that jewel soul
shall rise and in due time shall with gladness hail the rieing
star of Jacob and shall become one in the inheritance of Israel.
Until then, peace be unto you.

NEW PRAOTIOAL METHODS.
(VII.)
In continuation of the subject discussed in the preceding
article of this series, we must add that the closing words, "You
will begin to realize a joy in living.'' do not hold good in all
cases, as every person differs from every other person in his
habit.a of thought and life. There are men, whose minds are
limply in the positive forces of business thought, who will not
realize very much of the joy in living. By careful observation,
they will only nnderstand that the forces which they have
been generating and using, are increasing within them; and
even that will be difficult for them to realize, although those
with whom they have been dealing will reoogoize it more fully.
Those who wish to reach the highest attainments should know
the laws governing thelft things,-the why of them. The why
is simply this: the vitality generated in the body through
the action of the sex function, which is the only battery
that generates life in the human and animal structure, is
an instrument that gathers and holds the qualities of mind element-"mind
stuff," as the Hindus call it. The mental acientist11
have recognized a great truth here, which is that, by placing
the mind upon certain lines of thought, feeling, and so forth,
and by believing that that element fills them, they establish
conditions by which it does really fill them. All mystics have
for centuries past known that to think a thought is to gather
around and into the very essence of one's being, the quality of
"mind stuff" out of which that thought originally came. There­

make the effort to store up the pure gold of the regenerate life,
you are producing what might be called action and reaction,­
action upon the organs of the body, which, in turn, react upon
the fountains of Hf e that fill all space. It is this reaction
upon the life fountains which fill the univene, that causes certain

acts or ceaaee to act by command of their will. Now, this suggests
something for yon to think about (for you must under-
1tand that we are not trying to do your thinking for you), which
is this: is there any chemist in the world wise enough to take
these elements that he is using day by day to rebuild the waste
tiaane of the body, and build of them another organism,-the
body of a child, a human structure? Yon realize that there
are none so wiae, none so skilled, yet there is a mind in you
that ia performing this wonder-miracle, nR it would be called,
if a man were able to create a living organism and send it
forth a living intelligence; and yet you are doing this all the
time.
The only means by which you can rise to superordinarywe
will not at this time say auperhuman-knowledge and power,
is in aome way to unite with the external, reasoning intel·
leot, the mentality that is doing thia wondrous work; and when,
by meana of the will, yon begin to lay hold of the in voluntary
action of the reproductive function, llegio to study and control
it 88 muter, you reach the very fountain head of this knowledge;
and aa thought gathera the element of its kind, forming
it into the constitution of the body, therefore thought on this
line will act upon the brain and form a part of your uoru
intellect. This is well illustrated in cases of blindness. It ia
well known that the blind man turns the attention of the senses
to feeling, and that because of continued attention in that direction,
feeling becomes so acute 88 to transcend all reason
on the part of the ordinary mind-the enda of his fingers almoet
become eyee. Again, it is well known that deafneBS frequently
oocura because of centralization of the entire att.ention
upon musical sound&. so that the person becomes almost entirely
deaf to all bnt musioal tones. In like manner people who
are in the habit of shutting their eara, as they say, to all 10unds
around them, soon become altogether deaf. Such is the law of
creation. The mind grows in whatever direction it ia turned;
and when it is growing in one direction, it ia always tearing
down in the opposite direction.

accomplishing physical results. A mechanic is wise when he
uses his t.ools in the right way and for the accomplishment of
definite results. Tb& words that you use are your t.ools, and
your fellow man is the material on which you are working;
therefore weigh well your words,-say what you mean, and
mean what you say, and stop there. Among the thoughtful, a
man who talks mooh is held in very low esteem; for surely the
man who talks muoh gives away all be bas and expoReS his
weak points; he is open to failure and in danger of being
thwarted by others. In order to think correctly, you should
begin by studying the effect of words and acts, not only as
they relate to yourself, but as they affect others. When you
begin to think of the effect of your words and acts, it becomes
necessary to study the nature of those whom yon meet and how
certain words strike their minds, for the majority of men judge
others by themselves. 1'herefore we must be careful in the
use of our words and in oar acta, to the end that our fellow
men may judge us oorrectly, or, at least, may not be antagonistic;
for no one, no matter how strong or how wise, can afford
to live under the censure and in the midst of the antagonism
of others, which destroys one's power, creates weaknees of body
and mind, unrest and unhappiness.
Again, in order to think you must keep in mind that ever.
present interrogation, Why is it so? Do not be too ready to
jump at conolusions, bot seek diligently the why; and wherever
you go observe every phenomenon of nature, keeping the interrogation
ever in mind. To think intelligently, to think wisely,
is to think from cause to effect. The world is filled with books
that are mere trash because they deal exclusively with effects.
There are men who fill their brains and their lives with the
study of effect. They are called learned; bot in reality they
know very little. They do not think, exoept as they follow the
ruts left by other minds; they have in reality nothing of their
own. Then learn to think; search for cause and observe effect.

We stand upon the threshold of the past-life stretches onward

furnaces of Time, must plow and harrow all the cultivated soil
and leave it fallow till another cycle runs its dial course and
brings again the fertile years upon the scene of life, must rake
the stubble into beacon heaps as fuel for new crucibles of
thought.
Thoe on the rich soil of the past, will future generations cultivate
the fallowed years anew; thus on the dialed concourse of

EDWARD EVERETT HAI.&
A.ooording to the Biological thought u applied to the anoieut
history of nations, Greece at.ood as the representative of the
aign of Arie1 when our planet made its great revolotion
ihroogh that sign. The Atheniana were brainy and ideal in
all their intelleotoal upl'888ione. They were patriotic in a
large 1181118. They represented at that time the moat ad vanoed
mental attainment of the world. Among thoae who at.ood foremost
in this attainment, and who in penuuive eloquenoe and
ttatelmanJike thought led the Athenian• into the moat demoeratio
line1 of action, was Pericles.
In attempting to place before the readen of thi11 J oornal a
&ting repreaentative of the aign Arieg, we have selected
Edward ETerett Hale, who, in our Modern Athena, ia a veritable

His Zodiaoal Circle shows that at his birth the Earth wu in
the sign Aries and the Moon in Virgo, while the rising sign
was Caprioorn. These positions of the Earth and Moon indicate
a oombination of A riea and Virgo whereb1 firmness and
alertness of mentality wonld naturally blend with fineness of
discrimination. Their praotioal expression to the world wonld
be enhanoed or retarded very muoh in proportion to the opportunities
afforded for thorough educational drilL Fortunately
our subject had the doors of Old Harvard open wide unto him,
and his Aries nature wu fed mathematioall1 and olaaaioally.

development. His innat.e being grew b1 what it fed upon.

became finer, stronger, and more oritioal aa he allowed
the Ram and the Virgin to lead him forth into the world'•

so of an ample fram~work. The knees became the pivot of

etrong aspirations, and easily, therefore. "the feet of prayer."
This led to spiritual independence, a disregard for dogmas and
creeds, coupled with constant reverence. It assist.ed in making
him thoughtful and energetic for others, and it .may be said
that the Ram and the Goat were a planetary team gnided by
the feminine Virgo, which carried him forth to .do his work
among his fellows.
With the metaphysical planet Uranus in the sign Cancer,
and the spiritual planet Saturn in Libra, there is produced a
duality that, upon the one band~ indicates uniqueness of thought
and action as to the home and all domestic affairs, and, on the
other, broad and noble intuitions whereby be could easily "see
visions and dream dreams" that would symbolise ideal states
of aooial and domestic life among the masses. Again, as related
to all things of a higher spiritual order, he would be led
forth as a modern Paul in his adaptability to the varying needs
of an ever-changing Christian community. These positions of
Uranus and Saturn clothed his ar(tent mentality with a halo of
Christlineu that caused him to increasingly desire to "lend a
band" to the etrugglers about him. In the Master's spirit he
aat, at times, upon the Mountain of Illumination and wrote
"The Mao Without a Country" and "In His Name," combining
the virtue and value of patriotism and of the Golden Rule
into a r~ unity of expresaion which bu stirred thousands
into fuller comprehensions of life, and their duty and privilege
in this greatest of republics.
Great Jupiter in the sign Scorpio made him intensely human,
a man among men in all senses. It dignified to his mind
the physical structure of man. In a metaphysical way it
unit.ed a very determined will power with much ideality of
comprehension as to the relation of man to man, individually
and collectively. It made very strong his psychic understanding,
or what the ancients called the Wisdom or Serpent prin·

ciple. Thereby he was creative and original in his oonoeption
of how to present important lessons for the elevation of
his brethren. This has been verified in the many stories he
has writt.en (Mide from the two books to which allnsion has
been made), all teaching in a truly unique way how to find
one's higher nature and wisely live. As a Christian ministel,'
this power of originality has found ample expression in thousands
of sermons that have caused his hearers to think deeply
and act nobly .
.Mara in Pisces stirred him into a restless and almost resistless
activity, physically and mentally. It made walking a priv.
ilege and the open air an "open door" to ent.er into God's great
realm of purity and power. It quickened his inspirational
nature and caused him oft.en to be silently thrilled with beatitudes,
that, in aft.er time, found expression in story or sermon.
Venus in the sign Aries (where he was born) a~d Mercury
in Gemini, both in the Intellectual Trinity, were exceedingl1
important factors in foreahowing the cbaraoteriatioa of our
modern Pericles. Venus foretold that his intellectual expreeaiona
woold thoroughly harmonize with his intuitions, and that
he woold keenly realize what the Love Life upon the Earth
ahould be among all people. It tinged all his thought& and
expression& with fineness, aa well as uniqneneas, and ao added
to hie own happiness aa well aa to that of others.
Mercury's mi88ion waa that of poaitive aid in his acquisition
of knowledge and in the sending of it forth to the world. "The
Messenger of the Gods," atrengthened his muaoular power, and,
aa "the Winged Messenger," carried him oft.entimea to Parnaaaian
height&, where his oommuninga were beyond expression.
Summarizing somewhat, we not.e that Mr. Hale, although
born in a aign representing Fire, ia nevertheless fully represented
in the Watery Triplicity by Uranus in Canoer, .Jupiter
in Scorpio, and Mara in Piaces. This clearly symbolizes the

naturalneu of his ooaleeoing readily with the-people. It forms
the stream over which he sends forth his boata,.all.well..Jaden,
to the Ocean of Life.
He is equally represented in the Intellectual Trinity in the
form of expreui veneaa, as the positions of the Earth,_ Venua,
and Mercury demonstrate. In a large sense, therefore, he is
the "Grand Old Man" of onr Modern Athena, folly believing
in the progreu of the race throngh noble aspirations individually,
and then unitizing them collectively as a moral power of
irresistible force, that, in its intelll6 Americanism, shall move
the world forward to a higher plane. Certainly all who know
of hie work can attest to the breadth and depth of his inftnenoe
in this direction.
Aa an Aries-born person, he was of the tribe of Gad(" Armed,"
"Prepared") and 80 a leader intellectually. The capacity in·
herent in this Tribe is leadership and to be prepared for all
service. The brain becomes receptive to what it aseimilatee,
and in the mighty progreuion of high attributes Intuition will
finally govern, and so "shall overcome at the last" the physical
hindrances of the world which have ever enppreeaed the higher
nsee of the intellectual faculties. In other words, the esoteric
principle of living shall yet enable this Twentieth Century
to show forth through many oonaeorated lives, of whom Ed.

KYBTIO MINISTRY.
The last notes of the Christmas chimes have died away,
breathing a song of Peaoe,-Peaoe upon the twilight scenes of
the Nineteenth Century, and the Eastern horizon is all aglow
with the dawn of the Twentieth.
We pause, hushed into silence at the advent of the New
Age, and in prayerful aspiration query: What is the greatest
gift to humanity which can be realized therein? Out from
the new air of the New Century Aquarius makes answer: "I
am the Outpourer that the Master Mystic of all the ages
promised ahonld come to breathe upon you Holy Spirit Power,
whereb1 ye ahall be able to fulfill your minions as sons and
daughters of the All Good."
How shall we heed this voice of the sign in which we live?
The past hundred years demonstrated how those recipient to
this outpouring have become prophets and evaugela unto the
multitude. Now, aa the souls of mankind are made increaaingl1
sensitive to all that is holy and inapiring, the mystic power of
the paat unites with the sunrise illuminationa of the New Day,
and puta us more and more fully within the mystical atmosphere
where the "just made perfect" shall minister unto us,
and earth and heaven nearer meet. Aa the beautiful and
bounteous sunshine is superabundant, lighting and heating
our earth everywhere, so that we need only to appropriate
fully to have it in ita fullness, so must we in these new-coming
daya apprehend and appropriate the bleaaedness of the mystic
power that, in its supernal richness, is all about us.

Let Mystic Ministry abound with all to whom these words
may come, and aa surely aa the heavens exist we shall all live
a more abundant life u long aa we are pririleged in the New
Century to sojourn upon this mundane sphere; and when the
"incident of death 0 oomes, we shall join "the choir invisible"
whose mystic songs shall continue throughout all the centuries
in ever-enlarging potency because inspired by the Muter

WHATEVER IS, IS BIGHT.
In the evolution of life certain prooeesee or forms pus, in
spiral ohan~ from a lower to a higher order by slow and
measured stepe. The routine is so perfect, that none are able
t.o gain the mountain height without this slow, t.oilaome march
over the craggy steeps that lead in a oirouit.oua way to the more
favored outlook. Each one, in his or her individual life, must
work out the principle of growth from his or her own standpoint;
in no other way can it be done, beoaaae each human
soul is a world within itself, and it moat grow from its own
resources- roeea do not grow upon thistles, neither are the
fnnotiona of a small brain equal in capacity t.o those of a large
one. Conaeqnently, when you condemn a certain thing aa evil,
you do err in your judgment in regard t.o the nature of it,­
under the oiroumatanoes and surroundings, it was an inevitable
outgrowth of that individual life. It does not follow, however,
that because of this law of existence, we should not seek to
ameliorate conditions around us; the tbonght expressed contains
no contradictions when rightly nnderat.ood and properly directed.
Cultivation is just u neceuary in the moral and spiritual
worlds, as in the physical world. You would not expect a rich
harvest from a garden overrun with weeds, although it may
have imbibed the forces of nature that are reqaisit.e t.o the
growth and maintenance of its products; neither can you expect
a human soul t.o thrive under similar adverM conditions.
Now, take all gradationa of human mind and claaaify them,
aa you would make any scientific claaaification, and you find
that what.ever is, is inevitable, and therefore must be right

nniTerse; he has created the law by which all things are governed,
and it is not for ns to question his wisdom, but to study
and learn the intricate means employed by him to bring the
work of his hand to perfection, which all nature teaches i1 the
ultimate design of his power and goodneu. Whatever is, i1
in the order of things, and in that sense moat be right. The
phrase must not be understood as a statement of perfectionfar
from it; nothing i1 perfect in this mundane sphere.
Look carefully into the nature of things, and yon will find
unerring law controlling and directing every event of life,
working out the principle of that law, regardleu of the consequences.
Take the preponderances of life and weigh them in
the balance, and you will_ find aoourate measure meted ont to
every action or thought in human existence. Take the wrongs
you inflict upon yourself by evil doing, and when the inciting
cause is analyzed, you will find that, despite your convictions
to the contrary, the power that controlled you was stronger
than yourself,-you had not suffiuiently subjugated it to
make it subordinate, and therefore you acted in aooordance with
the law of your being; the forces within you striving for supremacy
were working out the principle of evolution, and under
the oircumstanoes nothing could have been ditferent.
The Divine Principle is always showing you the possibilities
of attainment, and you see the mistakes you are constantly
making; if you did not, you could not progress-this is the
beauty of the law. It is a living principle, and constantly
changing, and in the suffering and torture inflicted by it you
behold the threshing proceSA. The system is perfect, but the
work is in a prooeu of evolution-one of growth. It i1 an
order of development indisROlubly linked to time and 1paoe;

to be augmented at each repeated effort to gain the desired
goal. That goal is presented to your view before you have the
power to attain it; it stands as the incentive to conquer obstacles
and difficultieR that impede progress. You know the right
and pursue the wrong, becauee your vision is in advance of the
power you are able to bring t.c> bear upon the working out of
your evolutionary tendencies. Evolutionary result.a are always
in advance of all individual or concerted action. Ancil.
You young men, and you young maidens, are living in the
morning which thousands of nobler natures than you desired
to see, and died without the sight. You are beginning yonr
life at a period when the disclosures of Divine Love will set
aside the mist.a and darkness of days gone by. Do not pervert
your opportnnities, bnt reverently, conscientiously, earnestly,
aooept the glowing, growing truths, and work oat in
yourselves a higher standard of duty, a nobler aspiration, a
diviner manhood. Arouse your spiritual instinct.a, and, at the
call of the Divine Teacher, awake to di1JCern the signs of the
times, and to see in the face of the sky the promise of God'•
coming day.

Either Scorpio or Sagittarius was rising at the time of yoar birthprobably
Scorpio, and we will so read. The earth was in the sign Pisces,
giving a nature apt to look on the dark side of life, one inclined to
think that his fellows are not frienda, but enemies. You love animals
more than men, yet are sociable in your inclinations. Have a good,
ltrong body. Po88e88 a love of education. Uranus and Jupiter in the
sign Sagittarim give more than ordinary inclination to take hold
of the mystic, and to cling to it through life. Have much combativeneaa
in your nature, ari11ing from the poaition of Mare in Scorpio.
You ahould try to develop in yourself the altruiatic and the optimistic;
if you do not do eo, as you advance in yeare yon will be apt to
become somewhat morbid,-to 11ettle down and abut younelf up with·
in your own narrow limits and have but little to do with the external
world, and le88 sympathy with it. Saturn in Aquariua gives you
a good degree of suavity, and adapts you to auociate with the people
and to the aciences that relate to them; in fact, there is a atl'ong
inclination to turn your entire thought to ancient Aatrology, and to
abut youraelf op in that thought. If you do this, you would become,
later in life, eccentric and isolated. Venue in Taurus givee an active
aes nature and Mercury in Libra great vitality and physical endo·
ranee, ao that you will probably live to a good old age.

and the moon in Gemini, which is the natural expreater of Aquariua.
The Aqnarina nature ia active mentally and phyaieally; you want to
be doing something practical and naeful all the time. Although you
have five planets posited in the Fiery Triplicity, which gives you a
great deal of ideality, yet haring no other interior position, yonr ideals
are very practical. Yon are a fortunate person-generally auceeed

in making attainments in the occult and myatic, this ten·

give yon great fidelity, which makea up for the lack of real love in

RISING SIGN-1';1.
You were born when the earth waa in that reetleaa, struggling aign
Pilcee, which produces a reatleu diuatiafaction in your nature. In
1~ cue, however, it takea the form of an active mind, aa the moon
wu in Caprieom and that aign riling at birth. Venua waa alao in
Capricorn; leading you out and giving color to all your thoughta,
feelinga, and deairee. It givea you great love of the artiatic and
beautiful, the ieathetic and refined; and your love of the mystic ia
largely of that character. Uranus and Saturn are in cloae proximity
to each other in the sign Scorpio, conferring great power over the
aex nature and inclining you toward the mystic. Jupiter in Taurua
belonging to the Triplicity of which the polarity ia the head, givea ita
influence to the position of Uranus and Saturn and produces dignity,
love of poaition, and high ideala. Mara in Aquariua imparts, in your
cue, love of home and family, and aelf-proteetion against interfer·
ence on the part of the people. You are inclined to the aristocratic
rather than to the democratic. Mercury in Virgo, the expresaer of
the Triplicity of your polarity aud riling sign, gives a strong digeati\'e
111tem, but militates somewhat against your intuitions. You are
probably ealled a very fortunate man, for it 11eema that your organi·
u.tion ia auch that you will slip through life with but little difficulty.
If you would give your mind to atudy and thought and live the re·
generate life, you could be of grea• uae to the world by educating
the people in the higher trutha.

RISING SIGN-st.
You were born when the earth wu in the eign Leo and wben
Leo wu riling; Jupiter, also in the eign Leo, adds ite qualities to
70W' innate nature. Coneequently, you are orderly, active, and zealoue
in whatever you undertake, and Jupiter gives a native dignit7,
and a good phyeique and fine organism. You are apt to go to extremes
in whatever you take hold of. Scarcely know what it is to
fear or to fail in what you undertake. Have the courage of your
oonvictione and inherent powen to back them up. Uranus in Aquaria•
makea you eomewhat exclusive in your aesociation with the people.
Saturn in Virgo gives v11ry fine intuitions; your fint impreeeion in
regard to a matter i4 usually your best one. Man makee you a little
combative and struggling. You ehould overcome qu.ick temper, and
inclination to resent an apparent affront; and when you resent a thing,
it ia hard for you to change your mind. V enua in Sagittariu1 give•
grace to all your movements, and imparte ability in the fine arte, of
which you have an instinctive command. Much that you have learned
baa come to you very easily, ae though you had known it before, and
you probably have. Mercury in Gemini makes you a hard worker
in the lines of education and science. Physical activity is euential to
your bealth. The times of greatest danger in the regenerate life are,
fil'llt, when the moon ie in Leo or Sagitta1-ios, and, second, when
either of these signs is rising.

OORREBPONDENOE.
TACOKA, Nov. 24, 1900.
Prof. H. E. BUTLER:
Dear Sir,-1 do not wish to treapau too frequently on your
time, yet I cannot refrain from sending the following thought,
or item, since it is somewhat in harmony with the lines of
thought i11uing from the Journal.
In the extensive comments upon the death and work.a of the
composer Sir Arthur Sullivan, particular mention is made of
the song, The Loet Chord, and the wide popularity it baa
attained; and in this connection I may remark a fact. probably
not known to musicians, in regard to another aaored oompolition,
The Ave Maria, or Meditation, by Gounod, on the
flnt Prelude of the Well Tempered Clavichord, by Bach.
The beauty of its melody baa enabled the piece to attain a popularity
aeoond only to The Lost Chord. But the strange
faot is that the melody ia entirely evolved from the Prelude,
which serves as the accompaniment, without a single change in
the notes,-from the uppermost tones the melody leaps forth
apontaneoualy. Thia fact aeema to ahow three things: the oloseneu
of the bond of sympathy between artist&, their intuition,
and how perfect are the works of the mutera.
Very respectfully,
Robert Weisbaoh.
Editor of OccuLT AND BIOLOGICAL JOURNAL:
Dear Sir,-I send you the following thought, hoping that it
may contain enough that is useful to find a place in the col·
umns of your Journal. Very ainoerely yours, A.
The roots are not the trunk, nor are they the leaves, and

neither of these parts can be transformed into another. The
roots muet do their work aa roots, letting the energy 80 generated
be taken up according to the Law of Being, which it ie
impossible for them to know with merely the experience of
roots. Now euppoee that the roots, having a vague coneoioueneea
of the leaves, gained thnmgh their development along
natural lines, ehould hunger after a fuJler realization of that
upper life. Would it do any goOd for them to atop their epecial
work for a while each day and eend up Leaf Thoughts? The
leavee, influenced by eun, air, and other agencies with whioh
the roots have not come in contact, are perfecting the organism
according to a fully realized Law of Being. The roote
ehould do their special work, and then, beoauae they have
eened the Law and fumiahed the crude energy for the organ.
ism, the leaves will be able to eend down leaf-thoughts to them,
and thua establiah a circuit of realization.
The marvelous C..onetructive Forces of our Univeree cannot
be helped directly by man's aspiring thought. It ie only by
bis deede, or a conetructive thought on his own plane, that his
energies can be 80 related to the system ae to be used oonetrnotively.
An interplay of Forcee ,,hich no mere monal mind
can comprehend is now etraining to produce the harmonizing
eunes which must be made to perfect that spiral turn with
which the Sixth Raoe is being uehered in. These Constructive
Intelligenoes need a certain epiritualized quality of energy
which only occult atudents can furnieh. Had there been enough
harmonizing energy of this 80rt generated on the physical
plane, there would have been no war with Spain, nor would we
now have fighting in the Philippines ~nd in Africa. How oan
oooolt etndents help ~n this organic work if they are divided
into circles and societies, each holding aloof from all othere?
How far, think you, can thoughts of unity and peace go, wbioh
are ''Bent out" under auch oonditiona? What is required ii a
Deed of Unity and Fellowship, inepired by a Feeling of Unity

NOSING DISEASE; DETERMINING MENTAL, PllY81f:AL AND BUlllNB88 QUALi·
FICATIONS, CoNJUGAL ADAPTABILITY, t:l'C., FROM DATE OF BIRTH.
BY H. E. BUTLER.
llluatrated with Seven Plate Diagrams and TablEoe of the Moon
and Planets, from 1820 to 1902.
Thia ecience proves that "all are members of One Body (I. Cor. XII. 12-27); and
that, 118 auch, each one haa hia peculiar function in life. It throwa a 6ood of new
light upon the problems of life, furnishing the groundwork, or scientific law, which
goes down into the minutillj of the life of evf.'lry man and woman, as a mirror reflecting
hie or her innate nature. Thie work tells what is in man and how derived.
Tel111 how to cultivate self and make the most and befit of life. Tells one, when a
child is born, what kind of training it should have, to what diBea11eR it is liable,
bow to avoid or bow to cure when already developed. Reveals the part of the grand
body to which each individual belongs, and the consequent mental tendencies,
physical tltneea, natural sphere, and highest and fittest use in the world.
It enables parents to know jUBt what bU11iness their children are beet adapted
for, and how to educate them, and is also a guide in the preservation of health and
atrength, and an important aid to success and to the attainment of the great object
in life; viz., UBefulneas and happineBB. It alllO aids in prolonging the life of
old and young. It ia of special importance to physcians, enabling them to attain
great eucceea through having in their pot111eKBion a certain key to knowledge concerning
the nature and peculiarities o~ their patiPnte such as heretofore has been
available only to those few that were of rare intuitive diecernment.
It ill dsimed that character is expreBBed in the countenance, that it shapes the
cranium, and ill even written in the hand : but Solar Biology introduces the student
into the grand workshop of the Solar System, not only defining character and function,
but 11upplying the key to self-knowledge and harmonioua human relatedn-.
SOLAR BIOLOGY makes an elegant octavo volume of 500 pages, heavy paper,

Thia instrument is probably
the moat perfect mechanical
device yet constructed
for f i n d i n g the
rising sign, as it gives the
degree and minute of that
sign's elevation above the
horizon for any Latitude
between 22• and 55 •,which
embraces nearly the whole
civilized world. It will be
a great convenience to astrologerc1;
and those who
doubt the influenr.e of the
zodiacal signs, or those who
wi11h to experiment upon
such influence, will flndby
having this Indicator at
hand and watching the
change of their mental and
physical states with the
changing signs-that not
only will their own experienr.e
convince' them of the
~ality of zodiacal influence,
lout that a new field
of experimentation, moat intere11tirig and profitable, will open up to them. (Every
one is not suftlciently sensitive to feel these changes. but, in most instances, the ob·
server will be quite conscious of them.) The Indicator is neatly and durably conetructed,
and; with proper care, will last for years; Price $1.00.

The aim of The Occult and Biological Journal is two-fold: first, it endeavon to unveil
to the atudent tlie myateriee of the higher troths for which the W eetern mind
Sa now seeking in the mysticism of the past and in Oriental religions; ahoWB the cor•
relation of the doctrines of the Orient and thoee of the Christian religion, and uaee
the wisdom of the past to throw new light on Biblic.al text; and, aecondly, to thoee
whose desire is individual unfoldment, it gives a special coune of inatructiona; presents
methods for increasing the amount of life in the organism, for it.a conservation
and control, thua insuring the magnetic power so nece88&l'J' to aueceaa in all directions.
It atudiea the biology of the universe. Investigates the laws of life, tracing
the course of ita unfoldment from its origin until it reaches the perfection of the
human organism. Calls attention to its uses and abuses. Jta presentation of the
esoteric sciences is concise and clear, always emphasizing their practical value.
Althongh it would seem that the number of new-thought publications now before
the people must certainly be greater than the demand, yet we feel that no apology is
necess:uy in offering the public a journal which we believe possesses exceptional
facilities for prc~entin~ lines of thought heretofore neglected, and which the people
now demand for practical nse.

PUBLIO TEAORING.
Publio t.eaching has its use. In all paat time it haa been
neoeeaary that teachen arise for every new truth, and yet it
has been well undentood that these teachings were, as Buddha
said, not of something the people did not know, but of the
things they did know. But how did they know them ?-they
were new thoughts that had just oome t.«> the world, and yet
the teaohere oould tea.oh the people only the things they already
knew. Thia aeema paradoxical, but we must remember that,
in relation oo all aubjeota of vital importance, aurfaoe thought
will not answer such questions; we moat look deeper and take
a more general view of the world, of the light upon it; of mind
and its source.
The thought utt.ered by Swedenborg yeare ago is now rap.
idly ooming inoo realization as a fact; namely, that the whole
of humanity is one body; that all life is one life; that all spirit
is one spirit, with mnltifarioua manifestation. And as the
11pirit is the cause and all flesh bot the manifestation, it follows

that all things originated in spirit. We read in the A poatles'
writings that Uod ia Spirit, and we know the whole onivene
to be merely mind organs of one infinite spirit. Now, in the
movement of these mind organs, the heavenly bodies, there are
being oontinaally formed, upon the dUferent worlds, thooghlia
whioh 6nd expreuion in life, living organisms; and u the order
of the onivene is progression, the prooeaa of that formation
ia a aeries of ideas, is the Logos of the Infinite, a diaooune
upon life, growth, unfoldment and the manifestation of Deity.
Thia wondrous disooone is none other than the spiritual teachings
that come to the world's moat highly developed souls, who
are able to oatoh the whispers of that Eternal Mind, embody
the idea in their own life, whioh inspires and imbues them
with the will to speak the words of truth and righteousness.
Bot when they speak them, the souls that are next below them
in the order of unfoldment have already oaoght the whisperings
of the same ideas, and in their hearts, soul-life, they know
the truths already, but past experiences and their aaaooiat.es
upon the lower plane contradict these truths, and therefore
they are uncertain concerning them; that is, the external mind
is uncertain as to whether they are the imaginings of the mind
or whether they are the verities of the oa111e world.
Again, many of these people are so thoroughly absorbed
with the things of material existence that they have no time to
give to thinking out and putting in order the great truths that
have oome to them, or they have not the ability to do so; therefore
it becomes neoessary that teachers go forth and plaoe these
truths in order before the minds of the people. And when
the very truths whioh have flitted across their inner oonsciouane88
and have made an impression upon the soul's existence,
are presented to the publio, expressed to them in their own
language, we hear them s1Ly, .. Yea, I know that is true. I
knew that before;" that is to say, they have the two witneaaea

of which Jesus spoke when he said, "In the mouth of two or
three witnesses every word may be established." Under such
circumstances, they have the witneBB of their own soul's consciousness
and that of the teacher. John, in Revelation, refers
to bearing witness of the truth, 'and the teachers are there called
witnesses to give testimony. No man or woman has a monopoly
of the truth; if it were so, it would be of no use to its possessor,
for he could not impart it,-unleBB the interior self has
been prepared for its acceptance, no one can receive a new
idea.
But how do these spiritual teachings reach the body of humanity?
What is their general course?-are questions that have
been asked. Does each one receive the truth for himaelf di.
rectly from the fountain-head? He certainly does not, for
everything has its order. It is well known to those who have
carefully investigated spiritual or psychic phenomena, that all
manifestation to the physical senses of spiritual powers or
thoughts must have a medium, an individoal who stands immediately
between the spiritual world and the material world,
having in himself a spiritual consciousness, and the ability to
pot in form the thoughts and powers received by him for manifestation,
to olothe them with the elements, we might say with
the magnetism, of the physical body, by means of which they
are able to lay bold upon and affect the sensation of other individuals.
Because of this it has been necessary that there
should be a first one to receive great truths that come to the
world. He or she receives the truth, and the thoughts take
form in his or her physical consciousness. Then, as the body
of humanity is one and what affects one member affects all,
the one who first receives the truth is made an instrument,
even before it has been publicly expressed, to vibrat.e it
through the entire mental world.
Those who have been recipients of new and important truth

know that, when it dawns upon their consciousness, and the
clear perception of the revelation, which it seems to be, bu
been fully received, it thrills the whole being with an eostuy
of delight which vibrates through the entire organism. Now,
why does it thua thrill the being? Sensation is life in motion;
unLiea the life ia aet in motion there can be no aena&tion. A.a
this life movement ooours in the cue of one indiridnal, it is
telegraphed throughout the entire body of humanity and from
diem down to every atom of earth's material. Not alone are
they receptive who stand nearest in development to the one
who flnt feels the impulae, but thoee in ment.al touch with that
one will get the shook like that of an eleotric current; and, ia
plaoe of aooepting the new thought, they usually become antagonistic
to the one through whom it comes to the world; beoome,
80 to speak, his worst enemies.
We remember when, aome years ago, a certain body of Adventista
were gathered on their camping ground, expecting the
Lord Je1u-the one hundred and fifty pounds of flesh, more
or leea, who was here two thousand years ago-to come down
ont of heaven and to take them, that little body, up to him,
leaving the rest of the world to be burned np. They were e&l'll·
est, sinoere, and moet devout. Aft.er they had wait.ed until long
aft.er the time when, aooording to their int.erpretation, the
Biblical prophecies had said theee things would ooour, they
went to their reepeotive bom• very much disappointed. Some
time after this they held another meeting for the put'}>088 of
asking the Lord why they were disappoint.ed. Two young men
who had received the new truths that are now permeating the
world, were impreued by the Spirit to go to the meeting arid
give the truth to that people relative to the coming of Christ
for whom they were looking. Before they arrived on the
grounds, however, the knowledge reached the leader that two,
whom they were pleased to call Cnrryit.es, were coming, and he

PUBLIC TEACHING.
immediately instructed hia people t.o have nothing t.o say to theae
men, hoping that they would thua be forced t.o leave the grounds.
When the young men arrived, they at once, in the inner oon-
1Ciouaneu, realized the situation, but they felt the call of the
Spirit, and when they found they could a peak t.o no one, they
went int.o the woods, eat down and committ.ed their lives int.o
the hands of the Spirit, knowing that they had no other help,
no other power at command. When their interior aelvea were
eurrendered t.o the mind of the Spirit, the word came t.o them,
"Go back int.o the camp; I have given it int.o your hands."
They returned and found a great change in the mental state of
the people, who were now ready t.o speak to them, though very
oautioualy. They attended the meetings, took back aeate and
made no effort, either mental or otherwise, to ioftuenoe or affect
the people in any way. In the meantime the most devout
of the people were earnestly praying to know the came of
the Lord's delay,and why they had been disappointed; and
when the time came for these pious souls to rise and speak, they
would express the very thoughts with which the two young
men were sent to them; ao that the silent presence of these two
enabled them to become a medium through which the mind
current from the cause aide could ftow, be clothed upon by
magnetic life, and thua act upon the seme oonaoiousneea of the
whole audience there gathered.
So remarkable was thia manifestation, that, on the d11.y the
young men arrived, the leader of the oamp, materialistic as he
was, preached a sermon on psychology, one hour and a half long,
and for the three auooeeding days during which they remained,
the leader could talk of nothing but the psychic inftuenoe these
young men were wielding over hie people, warning them against
it; and yet, although the young men made no attempt to speak
during the meetings, the people as soon aa they were dismiued,
would gather around them, asking questions. This was a physical
demonstration of what we are trying to express; namely,

apeak, a telegraphic inatrument, or a mind organ in the brain
of tbe human family, to pot into form the spirit thought, and to
impregnate the inner conscioumess of the race.
These advanced troths have been coming to the world since
1870,-not bot what divine troths have been communicated to
the mind of the raoe at all times, but we now refer to the ultimate
truths that are influencing the minds of the people at the
present time; and did we not kndW the law, we should say,
as we pick op each new magazine and book on advanced
thought and read therein the thoughts we expressed many years
ago, that the editors and authors were students of our thought;
but not necessarily so,-they may have received their thoughts
directly from the invisible and unknown source. Therefore,
they are their thoughts, even though they may have been received
through the advanced soul through whose organism the
thonghlil had been formed and sent into the world.
Consequently, no one shonld feel, as inspirations take form in
his mind and thoughts come that thrill his organism and create
ecstasy of mind, that the thoughts are being lost, for even though
he is not able to voice them to the public, or to print and give
them to the world, yet the work is being accomplished and the
world is receiving the thoughts, for they are, like the Spirit, immortal,
and cannot die; and, like the Spirit, they cannot be rejected.
Their acceptance may and will oo postponed until the peo·
pie are ready to receive them. When thoughts come to you from
the Spirit, know this,-if you will think them and pot them on
paper, the work will be done, the world will receive them, even
though you burn the paper afterwards. If you are called by
the Spirit to publish the thoughts, well; you will thereby beoome
a witness. vr e have long since learned to be anxious for
nothing. The work, from the fountains of life from which we
live, is moving on, and no man or number of men can turn it
back or binder it.

QUOD ERAT DE:MONSTRANDU:M.
The life of the Universe, when studied under the searching
analysis of Occult Science, is resolved into a simple binoruial
equation; that is, into two reciprocal and equal primary principles,-the
positive and negative polar principles which form
the buis of all life and order in the Cosmos. In action theee
principles balance exactly; in scope and utilitarian value as
creative adjuncts, they are upon a lit.era! parity, and their
junction in the Macrocosm at large, produces that fundamental
at.ability upon which the whole ooamographic economy rests.
To be technically explicit, principles are law11 in the abstract,
that ia, in the integral; in other words, laws are tributary ramifications
of principles. Occult Science teaches that polar principles
ditferentiat.e into laws of specific calibre to sustain specific
departments of Creation; hence polar principles are generic
to the Universe as a whole, while polar laws are specific
to the specific parts.
But just here an intrioat8 distinction must be made by those
who desire to be ethically accurat.e in their understanding of
the Occult Logos, and to adhere to the lit.era! aignifiuance of
t.erma. According to the Mast.era of Wisdom, polar principlea
are not polar fluids per ae, but the mode of action of theee
fluids in the foundation work of the Cosmos u an integrated
whole. Thna, in succinct language, the equilibrium produoed
by the reciprocity of the positive and negative principles-i. e.,
vibrations-forms the vibratory bed-rook of the Univerae,­
those oomplemental primordial vibrations, which, by their immutability,
maintain immobility in the ether at large, and
llt'cure its intrinsic integl'ity by insuring to it an adequat.e and

uniform polar flux. Without this stability in the fundamental
polar flux, ether would degenerate as atmospheric air degenerates,
the emorescence of organic emuvia from the myriad orbs
coursing through it would soon contaminate it.
Hence, not the ooemio ether, but the pristine vibration which
perpetually pristines it, is immobile-but immobile only pending
the duration of the Cosmos, for whose foundation it was
specificalJy designed by the Creative Deities.
Polar laws, by the same reasoning, are tributary modes of
vibration, modes incidental to the various departments of the
Sidereal mechanism in whieh they operate, and whose duration
is correspondingly determined by the duration of the
Sidereal orbs. But these laws reduce neither the scope nor the
compass of polar principles; their specific action subtracts nothing
from the volume of polar fluitts that Prescient Wisdom has
prescribed for basic stability; their vibrations being minor and
collateral, rest upon the basic vibration for support as the superstructure
of a building rests upon its found·,tion walls, but
derive specific power from a floating surplus of polar Ouida, an
inexhaustible interastral reserve which floods the cosmical
spaces continually, from fluidic reservoirs exterior to the cosmographic
arena.
In addition to this broadcast reserve-volume, the fluids gravitate
into vast seas in orbital territories. These seas lie immediately
in the orbits of the orbs, and at regular intervals the
orbs p888 through them-in the case of the Earth, this occurs
once every winter, when the planet is specifically recharged for
the ensuing prolific seasons. Moreover, the momentum of the
orbs draws suctionally upon the broadcast volume which follows
in their trend, just as foam follows in the wake of a ship,
while their rotatory motion creates maelstrom.like eddies about
the atmospheric poles, into which the potential fluids are incessantly
drawn, virilizing both the orbs and their atmospheres.
Do these flnidic vortices create disturbanoe in the atmospheres
of the orbs? They do, but only in their upper strata,
because the fluids are too subliminal to precipitate in volmne

unleu stringent demands are made upon them, u, for instanoe,
in the electric storms incidental to our summers; at all times,
however, there is a steady diffusion downward to virilize the
Jife of the planet. lo these upper strata, above the area of humidities,
where the air mergea imperceptibly into ooamioal
ether, any preponderance of polar fluids culminates in electric
rain; showers of electric sparb are as frequent at these high
aJtitudes u are showers of raindrops here, while winds and
breezes create a sparkle in the air similar to the phoephoreacence
sometimes seen in ocean surf.

same is relatively true of intermediate latitudes, entirely distinct
from the scale of temperatures produced by the sun.

lo the two preceding al'tiolea of this aeries we brought to the
attention of the 1tudeot.'tbe neoeaaity of the oooHrvation of
the aeed aa ·a·meau of developing and 1trengthening the body
and mind, and endeavored to give some idea of the mental oonditioo
requisite for obt.aining the desired result.. In the etfol't
to impreaa these trutha upon the public mind, we meet with a
few advenariea who might be oalled learned individual.a, and
are ao eat.eemed. but who, in reality, know nothing but that
which pertaiu to the particulal' line or rut in which they haTe
ran through life, notwitbst.anding the fact that they pl'et.eod to
know almoet anything you ask them. These people will t.ell you
that the seed, when once gathered in the body, must be thrown
otf or it will produce diseased et.ates aud all kinds of imagin&"Y
oonditioDS. We had thought that thie clau of men had been
so put to ehame by the light that bu come to the wol'ld on
this subject during the paet ftft.een yeare, that their objections
had been eilenced along theee linee. But a Jett.er ju1t received
from " etudent of the Eaoterio thought reveal• the fact that
there are yet among U8 thoee who cloee their eyee to everything

to eliminate it from the vesicles by burning it out with
fever or by other diseased processee. Dr. Shelton says that,
aft.er once having been manufactured, itoannotagain enter into
the circnlation or in any wise be used for the body. When Mrs.
Helen Wilmans said there would be neither marrying nor
giving in marriage, she thought we would then be evolved to so
high a plane in nature, that the energies of the body would no
more be wasted in the manufacture of this product. There are
many eminent scientists who take this position."
We reply to the question raised by our oorrespondent by
saying that, even if our teachings ha.cl been the first advent
into the world of this idea of the oonservation of the aeed,
which it is not by thollB&Dda of years, our own experience in
teaching this thought for the past fifteen years is positive proof
of the correctness of the theory. There oan be found many
hundreds, if not thousands, of people in America who are oonaerving
and transmuting the seed as it is generated in the body,
and who are gaining the desired results. If we needed testimonials
on this subject, it would be very easy to obtain them,
bot we do not feel that they are neoeaaary. Those who will
take the trouble to read the history of attainment of occult and
other powers by the ancienta, will not only find evidences that
the conservation of the seed was practiced by the Egyptians,
but that the beginning of the practice even antedates history
and is lost in the dim past. There are evidences that the patriarchs,
during the earliest period of Biblical history, lived that
life, conserving all the seed generated in the body until they
desired to marry and produce offspring. We read in connection
with the genealogy of these men of the earliest hist.orical timee,
that it was an ordinary thing for a man to live a hundred
years before he began to rear a family. We are told that M•

Buddha:-
" The bhikehu came to the Bleeeed One and asked him:
'() Tathagata, our Lord and Muter, what oonduct toward

And the Bleued One said:

Some may argue that what baa been aaid does not take hold
of the real point •r all, but those who wish to know more
concerning the practice of the followers of Buddha, can investigate
the teachings of the Swamis who are now lecturing here
in America, and . they will find that their inatructiona are iden-
. tical with ours in thia particular. The Swamis will also inform
you that their sacred books enjoin the oonaervation of the aeecl
upon all neophytes. These teachings were not only held and carried
out by the myatica and Orientala, but at the beginning of the
Christian era, the mini1ters of the Goepel were auppoeed to live
a strictly oontinent life and to oonaerTe all the aeecl generated in
the body for the use of the mind and body. Chri.at taught this.

In the fll'l4t place, remember that, if your coruiervation is anftloient
to bring about this condition, your aotnal need of sleep
will be reduced to one-half the amount you formerly required.
Therefore it will be necessary to keep your mind ooonpied,
your body active, until late at night; and when you lie down to
sleep, centralize all the power of the brain aml especially of the
inner conecionsness upon maintaining a continued consciousnes
during the sleeping houl'8. Some of yon will be able to M".oom.­
plish this from the start; othel'8 will fail many times; bnt usually
failure in maintaining coneciousness a1_1d in overcoming the
intensely sleepy condition, results in a 1088 of the life fl11id;1, for
we are prepared to say that there are invisible Aemi-inteUigent
beings who psychologise the mind and throw upon the body
that sleepy state in order to produce losa of life-the lower
order of elementals feed upon the waste life of the race. Therefore
the evident neoe11sity of overcoming this terrible stupor;
and each individual must discover for himself the means of
accomplishing the result.
Again, when you lie down at night yon mmt charge yon r mind
to waken as soon as day breaks, or to rise as soon as you awaken
at any time. Upon awakening d1J not wait to think about
anything, but bound out of bed, throw off your night clothes,
wet a woolen cloth in water the temperature of your room, rub
the body with it, taking first the front of the hody down to
the limbs, rubbing it dry and warm with a towel before commencing
on the back; then proceed with the back in like manner;
then one limb at a. time, drying each part thoroughly
before wetting anot~er. Now dress yourself, potting your will
into every movement, go out doors, take a rapid walk, inhaling
the morning air fully an1l deeply; reject all abnormal and unpleasant
thoughts and feelings, turn your attention toward the
fullneas of life, animation, and vigor that i11 in all nature around
you. Put your mind upon inhaling and filling the body with

that energy and mind power. Aft.er a few trials of this kind yoa
will flud that you can draw in and eo flll your body and mind
with energy and vitality, that the stupor will have no influence
over you.
I have Jmow:n men who, in order to auooeed at all. found it
neoeaaary to sit up and study or think until the stupor became eo
great that they would feel as if they were falling out of their
chair, when they would jump up and either go to the stable for a
horae and ride rapidly for an hour, or walk or run with vigor and
energy until that condition wu entirely overcome. Then they
would return to their room and rest. Sometimes it wu nece.
aary to repeat this two or three times during the night. But
if a man goea at this with a will and dames out to the extreme
the above experiment, it will not be necessary to continue very
long-two or three night.a will be auflioient to oonquer the condition,
although it may return the next month, but with Iese
power. When this victory is thorough, the antithesis of stupor
will be experienoed,-you will have olearneu of mind, vinoity
of body, and an energy neTer before experienoed.

receive (aa we may do) direct inspiration and gnidanoe from
Him, we sbonld have special seasons set apa?t for the daily
practice of divine communion in prayer and contemplation,
however short these seasons may be. Surely everyone can
consecrate a few moment.a each day to this snpreme act. One
moment of the coD10iooa t.oucb of the Father, morning and
evening, is more to the soul and will do more for it than all
possible experience in contact with men and things.
In these seasons of retirement with God, we must learn to
close the door of sense, shut out the world, call in all wandering
thought&, and fix the mind on God. In the performance
of this act. it is of the greatest importance that we lay asiJe
all previously conceived notions of God and theories of life,
and bring the activities of the personal ego into absolute stillness
before Him, and let Him speak his own word to ns as He
then most surely will '"The Lord is in his holy temple: let all
the earth keep silence before Him." "Know ye not that ye
are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth
in you?" '"Be still. anll know that I am God."
The Father is always present, and ready to speak and reveal
himself to his children, whenever they take tlie Hstening,
watching, or truly desiring attitnde toward Him. All that is
required of ns, therefore, is the childlike spirit of abeolnte
need of, the absolute dependence upon, and the absolute trust
in, Him as our heavenly Father.
It is impossible for us to cultivate and bold this attitude toward
Him without opening ourselves to and receiving a corresponding
revelation of his being and love to our sonls.
When withdrawing from the outward to he alone with the Father
in the stillness, we should remember that in his all-encompassing
love, He is seeking ns infinitely more than we are seeking
Him, and that He only awaits this opening of our hearts
toward Him to reveal himself to and in us. Contemplation of
Ood is the eKsenoe of prayer; for in the realization of God, the
sense nature is put aside, and the God within, unfettered, takes

A VIEW OF LIFE.
As we journey along life's pathway, there are times, when
weary, sad, and lonely, we ask oureelves the question, Why am
I bere?-what is the object of my creation? But aa we consider
the mood which prompt.ed the question, we realize that
never have we asked this question while in the enjoyment of
loving and being loved-apparently for the reason that, under
such circumstances, our very condition waa in itself a satiafaotory
answer; and we feel safe in &88uming that the question, Is
life worth living? has never involuntarily arisen in the mind of
one while in the enjoyment of a requit.ed love •
It is written that •'God is Love," as if the faculty of loving
and being loved were the distinguishing feature of the Dirine
Nature. Reasoning upon this assumption we 1rill try to perceive
the cause for our being •
We know that a loving heart loves spontaneonsly; when the
he&-t · is filled with love, we pick up a little child, a kitten, a
ftower, that we may chance to see, and the heart loves it. On
the other hand, we perceive that we love that which gives us
pleasure. For instance, an artist paint.a a picture, because he
desires to see an ideal appear in color; and, in proportion u
the picture comes up to bis ideal, he loves it. Or he builds
for himself a home, and in proportion as it meet.a his requi~
mente, he loves that home. Or be begets a child-it is assumed,
of course, that he will love it, but we know that, aside from
parental solicitude, the fullness of his love is measured by the
responsive love of the child. And it is in this reciprocal love
that the father flnds his joy. All this indicates that loTe
seeks an object, and primarily (if not always) one capable of

reciprocation; or, in other worda, love always eeeka love. Hence
we reuon that the Int.elligenoe whioh created man, did ao in
order that be might love hia creature and be loved by him.
Love, then, ia both the oaaae and the object of life; and we
may safely say that it ia for this reason that, in proportion to
ita fnJJ 0 w, thoee who love and are loved, are satisfied with liv·
ing. And, indeed, this appears to have been recognised of old,
for when the Nuarenewaa questioned aa to man's moetdutifol
action, bia an1wer waa, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind,
and with all thy strength, . • • and thy neighbor_ u thyself."
And this be gave them, not simply aa bia own ooocluaions, but
u the t.eachinga of the greatest minds of all the past. Another
te1la ua that a man cannot hate hia fellow and at the same time
love God; in other words, love and bate cannot dwell together
in the same heart. In following this line of thought, we feel
ufe in uauming that the object of man's creation ia love,-a
reciprocal love.
Since love is the object of man's creation, we are at once
led to consider ita attendant oonaequenuea; and aa we look
over past years we perceive that love bu alwaya been the
cause of joy. It ia true that the eel6ab deairee and hopes which
later sprang up in the heart poeaeaaed by love-benumbing or
killing it-have destroyed our joy, and reeulted in misery and
anguish, u those deairea were unfulfilled (or even when ful.
filled) and the hopea blighted; but by these very compariaona,
we know that the reeoltof a reciprocal love is joy. Here, then,
we reach two ooncluaiona,-ftrat, that love is the object of
our being; and, second, that it.a intended result is joy.
There ariaee yet another question relative to the provision
which Creative Love bu made for it.a object,-man. We are
in formed by a groat mind of the put that "the ~ bath
he (God) given into the bands of men." Thia correepondt to

the thought that man was given the earth u a home, and all
things npon it, to subdue and to poaeeea,-he 1ball dominate
it and them, making all tributary to himself, for the abode
and s111tenanee of hie physical body. We reoognize the fact
that the idea of physical immortality ia ignored by the Eastern
religions, which look forward to the time when Karma shall
have been worked out and incarnation no longer neceuary;
t.oo look for the time when, by faithfully applying ourselves to
the le880ns of life, we shall know the laws of our physical being
eo fully that, coming into harmony with them. we shall be en·
abled to live forever,-not in heaTen, bot on Earth. We say
live forever, because a life of joy, attained through knowing
and loving, ia worth living. Consequently, we do not look with
desire for the time when we shall leave thia fteeh behind for
the)aet time, but when we shall keep it and live foreTer on
this Earth. Not but what, in the ieona to oome, we shall haTe
beoome more and more refined, or even epiritoalbed, both the
Earth and its inhabitants, bat yet thia Earth and this body will
be oar permanent home.
All this, however, givee rise to two further questions, big
with import, sinee they seem to antagonise the foregoing. The
ftnt is, Why do we find, throughout the Bible and in the writings
and teachings of all my1tica, that poeitions of authority
and great riches, are oondemned? The reaaop is thia: Man,
not having yet learned the object of life,-love,--eeeka, oo&­
withatanding, its reeult,-joy. In the poueuion of wealth and
authority be finds a pleasurable excitement wherewith he trie1
to satisfy himself; but, beca088 the joy of liTing U. IOUght
where it cannot be found, or, if found in a measure, cannot be
retained, these things, good in themselvea, are oondemned
by those who know that they will not answer the purpoee
for whic~ they are sought, and that those who are seeking
permanent joy, ml11t, until it is found. turn from them.

The second question is thi11: Since to love and t.o be loved ia
the object of man's existence, why Jo we find the love of man
for woman and of woman for man so universally decried by
these same teachers? The answer to this question is evidently
the same as that to the previous one. We know that but little
of living i11 thus experienced, hnt rather intensified desire,
blighted hopes, despair, disappointment, jealousies, and murders;
that the whole list of the evils which spring from man's
heart constitute the bulk of the result of such love. and all
this for the lack of knowledge how, and ability to love aright,
which lack is being supplied by the experiences of life through
which man iR now passing; for it is evident that the great
lesson which life would teach, is that man learn to love.
It is manifestly for these reasons that all these things-good
in themselves if understood and rightly usecl-are so universally
condemned by the wise ones of old, who, condemning the
misdirection of effort on the part of man, have tried to lead
him to perceive the truth, t.hat they who-even by a past of
mi11directtm effort-have developed sufficient capacity, may
enter into their inheritance of universal dominance, unlimited
riches, and unending joy.

Born April 27, 1822, the Earth was in the Sign of Tauru-,
and the Moon in that of Cancer. The Bull and the Crab,
therefore, aymholized the fou11datiou of his human thought
and action. Thereby great natural bot somewhat . hidden
persiatency joined extreme sensitiveness in his personality, and
so be was often an enigma. Boldness and tituidne11s were united
iu an unusual degree. Thus did the Earth and Moon portray
hie basic proclivities.
In a metaphysical sense Uranus in Cancer caused a peculiar
combination of thought regarding the home, needing the finer
feminine amelioratio11:1 to harmonize it into the best praotical
results. Iu the true wifely mating which Mrs. Grant
furnished, this development ocon life from the standpoint of the
earthy Sign TaurLlS, his action waa largely guided progresai
vely by the Watery Triplicity formed by the Moon and Uranus
in Cancer (the head of that Triplicity), Jupiter and Saturn
in Scorpio and Mars in Pisces. They created a triune force
of nn~sual pow:er. It was sensitive anti coale~cing to his f.,llow
men, combined with a will power that was not only indomitable,
but full of a dual psychic wisdom that naught could
thwart, and finding ell;pressioo, under provocation, in a Piscean
reKtleaaness that wais irresistible. How the historic days from

In the ancient days when the Rameaea ruled Egypt, and that

through the Sign Taurus. The occult then ruled. The Zodiac
told ita truthful story to the learned Egyptians. That nation

Into our modern days came this modern Ramesea, who was in­

Conqueron. So doth history repeat itself in spiral revolutions,
bringing the later days into the nobler atmosphere of a
broader civilisation.

At the time of your birth the Earth and Moon were both in the
1ign Gemini, the 1ign 1ymbolizecl by the word: in the language of
the Bible, "In the beginning wu the word," the espreuion of an
idea,-of the intellectual trinity. The dominance of this sign prodoce1
a very active mind and body; yon must be buay-mlllt be doing
something all t.be time, Uranus in Scorpio allies yon directly t.o
the aubt.ile forcea of nature, t.o the study of human life and character.
It alto gives you a good degree of aecretiveneu, of power to keep
your own counsel and to appear t.o be that which you choose. Satom
ia in a position to give order and good ideaa u t.o the inblrrelation of
things around you. It adaptl your mind t.o attention to large bu1ineaa
intereatl by giving you a great fount.ain of plana, method1, and prac·
tical ideas in regard to business mat.ten. Jupiter in Virgo indicate•
the presence of fine intuitions, •nd that they are in the direction of
buaine88 rather than of 11pirituality. If you cultivate seasons of quiet,
and pay attention to the thought. that rise within you at the timea of
your quiet, they will lead you t.o antabundant aucce88. Mara in Tau·
rus, while it mare your sensations somewhat and makes you at timea
irrit.able and even petulant and combative, yet give1 you words,
good language, and enables you to express the tboughta nearest the
people's comprehension and desires, 10 that your words are attractive.
Mercury in Taorus producea great vitality, if the sex nature is kelJ'
under control: otherwise it would lead to the oppodte condition. If
your ·inclinations were to excess in that direction, Mal'll would unite
with Mercury, which would soon weaken your powers, degrade the
fountaina of your ment.ality, confuse your intuitione, and be the
cauM of many fai111rea in life.

To the Brethren of The Occult and Biologioal Journal,
Dear Frienda:-The Journal came to-da7, and I have jost
spent a pleasant, profitable hour reading it. I wish it oould be
read in ewry home in the land. If the people did more of that
kind of reading, the world would be better. Poor old World I
my heart aches for some of her inhabitants.
Now I wish to speak of Mr. Panl Avenel. May God ble11
him for ever and ever! I have just finished reading an article
written by him for The Journal. I.t brought baok the past to
me, and, I presume for the one-hundredth time, I said, Uod
bless Paul Aveoelt About six years ago I began to live: and
about five months after l bad entered the new life, I found
myself, one Friday morning (I have often beard of .. Blaok
Friday," and I think that was my Blaok Friday) in wat.ers of
despair 80 deep that I did not know what had oome over me.
Sometimes I would feel that I moat give vent in words to m7
great struggle; then again I would cry as if my heart would
break, and so on through the day. I dreaded to retire, bat be·
fore doing 80 picked up the "Light of Truth," and sat down to
read. The first thing that attracted my eye was an article
by Paul Avenel. It was the first of his writings I had seen.
Well, I read the article and found peace and reat. I have
forgotten its title, bot I alwaya read everything I see written
by him, for I can never forget that experience. I have never
bad any sncb trouble since. Again I say., God bleaa Paul Aven.
el and hist I conld not resist the impreuion to write this letter,
for I do want him to know what be has done for me, and
I hope he has done much good. May his home in the Higher
Life be bright.

To the Editor of Oooult aud Biological J ourn.U.
Dear Sir:-I believe myaelf to be au Esoteric student, and, u
far u I have underatood, have faithfully lived up to its teachings.
If I have made many or few miatakea they have not
harmed me. I would not take all the gold of thia world, if I
had to go baok to the old oondition of mind and body.
Between eeven and eight years ago an Esoteric atuden'
loaned me some of hia journals; afterwards I bought three
bound volumes of the Esoterio. Soon after reading the boob
I dedicated myself to the Holy Spirit Christ. Having been for
many years a married woman with a family, I kne" that a
great struggle and bard work were ahead of me. I kept repeating,
0 1 will be what I will to be! I oau be what I will to be!"
therefore I oonquered, step by step. I never need my will but
in two ways: flrat, in overcoming all things that had & ten•
dency to injme or retard my Spiritual Growth; aeoond, in oentralwng
my will on different organs of my body for healing
purpoeea. Three months from the time I willfully ud deter·
minedly ooneerved the life germ, a terrible burning beat com·
menoed all through my body,-from the top of my bead to the
aolea of my feet. I bathed and sponged my body u often aa I
· oould get time to do ao; I aat with my barning fee' in cold
water; muy times walking in the grau wet with dew afforded
me great relief. My weight of 175 poanda deoreaaed to 9-i
poanda. I did not know bat that I would be entirely consumed.
Tnnamntation in my cue wu territlc I I never onoe thought
of giving up, even if I tQl'Ded to an uh heap. Thia wu my
ftnt ye.ar'a experience.
Doring the lut aix years the heat in my body bu by degrees
grown leaa, until at lut I feel quite comfortable. Soon
after the tlrat year's fiery ordeal had past, a Voioe from within
began to teach me. If I read a book and earnestly wuted to
know the author'• veiled meaning, the dearly beloved, truthful

Word of God, thou an Wiadom indeed! At thia stage of my
unfoldment I stopped naing my mind or will to work out any
problem; I aimply desired at heart to know, and this Lover in
my Soul always heared and answered. Sometime near the end
of the three years, there were qniok eleotrio vibrations beginning
in the top of my head and puaing through my entire body
to the toea; and with the vibrations a Baab of the moat beautiful
light I ever aaw paaaed before my eyea.
I moat emphatically aay to all earnest eeeken that, if they
will live up to the F.eoterio teachings, they will know for themaelvea.
The Holy Spirit ia alwaya willing if a man or woman
does hia or her part. We cannot expect a tree to bring forth
perf eot fruit when all ita life aubatanoe ia wasted; then why
should a aaplesa person build for him or her aelf an ianmortal
body, when there ia not enough life generated to keep
up a crude material body? No: it would be as impouible u
for a mechanic to build a honae without material
U any of theae experiences will euoourage a brother or aW.

just the same; I am 80 happy, ao aatis&ed with everything.

Dear Sir:-I would like to tell yon of some of my experienoea

in the battle with the evils of their natut'8.
Something bad to be done, bot I found it too great for me
to do, 80 I put myself into the handa of the Holy Spirit-I
laid all on the altar; then, after a time, I was teated in every
part of my nature. Without desiring to do ao, I clung to eTery

oomplete addreas, including the atate and oounty u well aa

those who do not, may receive anawers, or they may not. There
are now upon our desk a number of letters whioh have been

ES01'ERIO EPHEMERIS
1901
Will be on sale in about ten days. Because of i~ accuracy
anJ from the fact that it gives important data. for purposes of
computation not to be found elsewhere in print, this Ephemeris
will prove invaluable to the students of Astrology and
of Solar Biology.
The work will contain complete data. for finding the time of
rising of zodiacal signs, a Table having been specially computed
showing 8idereal Time of Cusp-Risings for every degree of
:North Latitude from Equator to 60°, corrected for spheroidal
shape of the Earth, and available, also, for same degrees of
South Latitude. ThiR Table will be aseful for any future year,
as its extreme change will probably not exceed 5 seconds in a
half century. Greenwich Time is used throughout, which makes
change to Standard Time involve even hours. Full explanations
are given for use of all the Tables, with especial reference
to the needs of those not accustomed to mathematical work.
Forty pages are devoted to arithmetical operations and interpolation
methods which will . place the student in command of
the varied mathematical work necessary to the study of Astral
Science, even enabling him to construct in future his own Tables.
Explicit directions are given as to the proper use or Standard
Time. The Ephemeris proper gives the Heliocentric L'>ngi-·
tude of each planet anJ of the Moon to minutes of arc for every
day in the year; also Sidereal Time of Greenwich mean noon
for each day. Gives exact time, to tenths of minutes, of entrance
of Moon and planets into each sign, corrected for Nutation,
showing in each case the time it takes for light to come
from planet to Earth.
This Ephemeris-the work of an Astronomer of Observatory
experience, who ha.s used the most painstaking ca.re in its
preparation-is undoubtedly the most valuable yet offered to
the public. Price, 25 cents.

Mind Cure ...
The Greateat Healing Power on Earth.
Lay your prejudice aside long enough
to read this sworn M!stimonial of a cure
that seems mimculom;:
TI1is is to certify that my upper lip and a llll'ge
portion of my 11°"8 were eaten away with oancer
of so pronounced a character that physicians declared
the case incurable and me a doomed man.
My situation and feelings were be~·ond description,
when I heard of l\lrs. Helen Wilmans aud
her power' over every form of diseAAe. After I
put myself under her mental treatment t.he eating
of the cancer ceased and new flesh began to grow
from the edges of it, whieh graduRll.v RpreRd o"er
the cheek until the unsightly opening wiw cl11aed.
The nose at this time is about completed, and the
lip is nearly filled in. I am able to pronounce
her efforts a succt!SS. .My general health i• fully
restored, and I lia\'I! gone to work again with my
custo1J1ary streni,rth. This testimonial is given
from a thankful heart; and I am glRd to add that
my faith in her is so great that I believe she can
cure any disease under the snn. All this was
done without the uao of medicines-by ment.•l
treatment alone. Respectfully, J. M. ENGLISH.

of the doctrinea of the Orient and those of the Christian religion, and 11881
the wisdom of the put to throw new light on Biblical text; and, aecondly, to thoee
whose desire ia individual unfoldment, it gives a special course of instructions; pre.

GLEANINGS OF EBOTEBIO WISDOM.
Aooording to the highest esoteric teachings, the Univerae
compri&e1 three grand divisions or degrees:-
1. Spiritual.
11. Spiritual.Material.
111. Material.Spiritual.
Theae th~ grand divisions form the Macrocosm and correspond
to similar regions in the human body called the Microcosm.
The human self conscious on any vlane in the Microoosm,
attains to consciousness on the corre8ponding plane of
the MacroooRm.
This agreement between the Microcosm and the Macrocosm
ia the central doctrine of Yoga philosophy, or the acience of
Union with God. It establishes the closest relation between
the structure of the human body and that of the Universe. It
is this relation which makes the human body the fit Temple of
God, the Tabernacle of the in-dwelling Spirit. The right direction
of thought-force, the necessity of piety and devotion,
the possibility of ultimate union with the Supreme God-headall
depend upon this cardinal truth.

The first or the highest di vision is all-pure Spirit uncontam.
inat.ed by Matter. Life here is absolutely spiritual. No illusion
(Maya) or change ruffles the serene, resplendent bosom
of this ooean of pure Spirit. It is the Light of Lights, the
Trnth of Truths, the San of Suns, the Supreme Ocean of
Spirit, the Boundless Sea of Love and Joy. Ineffable are its
glories and unfathomable are its mysteries.
The second grand division, called the Spiritual-Material, hU
in it a tinge of Matter, which, however. i" pure and is dominat.ed
by Spirit. In this region the Spirit is joined with the
Universal Mind and pure Matter; and creation begins to manifest
itaelf. Life is here clothed in pure material forms and ia
free from the carnal passions and desires of the world.
The third and the lowest divi,.ion, called the l\laterial-Spiritnal,
shou apirit conjoined with Individual Miud and coarse
Matter. Here the Spirit is weak and is, in a manner, held in
bondage by Matter. Life is clothed in gross material forms;
and carnal passions and desires have their origin in this region
and exercise their sway over its denizens.
Matter and Mind are all emanations from that Great Original,
the Boundle88 Ocean of Spirit, the Eternal, the Immutable,
the Unknowable Cause of Causes. Thus One is Thrt1e and
Three are One. How this is so is a vexed question-a problem
before which the Senses reel and the intellect staggers.
The tendency of the Universal Mind is outward and downward;
that of 'Matter is still more so, since it is, so to speak, the mat.­
rial which gives form or outward expreuion to the above tendency,
and is thus the elllential element of what is called Maya
or Illusion in esoteric philosophy.
The highest division is the abode of the Supreme Being who
interpenetrates the whole creation and forms the innermost esaence
of everything that lives and has its being. Each of the
two lower divisions has for its ruling or presiding deity, a par-

ticular manifestation of the Snpreme Being, an emanation
from the Eternal Sonroe, a tidal wave, u it were, from the Great
Oc.:lan. The very nature of manifestation being limitation, the
controlling deities of the Spiritual-Material and the .Material.
Spiritual regions must neoeeearily be limit.ed. In other words,
God is both personal and impersonal. He is impersonal in
the highest sphere, but personal in the two lower ones.
Each division or degree again oomprieee a number of subdivisione,-eix,
according to some, seven, aooording to others. All
Solar Systema, like ours, belong to the third or the lowest degree.
Our Solar Syatem manifests two life-currents, one ascending
and the other descending. The former symboli7.es the descent
of Spirit into matter, while the latter repreeenta the aaoent of
Spirit into a higher life and a loftier consciouaneaa. The eeoond
current carries the spirit from the mineral kingdom on·
ward to man, through a regular course of evolution,. When
the stage of man is reached, a very important change comes
in. The will is now developed to such an extent that man is
· henceforth fitted to take his destiny in his own hands. Though
bound by the laws of nature and subject to an over-ruling Divine
Purpose, he is now, in a manner, "his own star," "the
architect of his own fortune.'' Standing at the parting of
ways, he has now the infinite possibilities of soul-growth open
before him. He may rise higher in the scale of creation, becoming
a heavenly spirit aud finally merging himself in the
Supreme Being; or he may sink lower down in matter till he
rises again to the status of man and enjoys fresh opportunity
of choosing and directing his course. The wheel of birth and
re-birth is thus ceaselessly moving round and round; and
Karma (action) is the pivot on which the wheel is kept
turning.

THE HOLY TRINITY.
The word Trinity, meaning three in one. points to a univenal
law of deepeat mysticism, yet not so deep but that we
may undent.and and make use of it in our daily living. The
practical apiritual is what the world needs to make it harmoniona
and laealthf ul.
There are three factors in the being of man, which ever
have been and ever will be. They form the Holy Trinity of
spirit, soul, and body. The three should be in perfect correapondenoe.
When one attains to an intelligent adjustment and
union of the three within himself, his individuality will have
become perfectly eatablished.
Let us make a brief analysis of each. First, of Spirit, the
Creative Principle, the underlying substanoe that is forever in
absolute perfection. Separate from it can be no individuality
as soul, nor personality as body. Spirit is the universal snb·
stanoe and principle of being. Soulia the individualized ego,
that portion of spirit that each has called forth and made use
of within himself, both oonsciously and subconsciously. Body
ia the mirror through which soul ia reflected, the form which
it calla into expression.
When man comes to Jook upon himself from the standpoint
of the perfect, independent being, as one with. and inseparable
from the pure fountain spirit,his soul e:s:perienoe will be that of
harmony and health. So long as the soul or ego disagrees with
its origin and diaoounts its own value, there is a mental action
within equivalent to separation. True education oonaiata in
soul culture, which is the acquaintance of man with himself
spiritually. Thia is the only education which will be enduring.

We are not in permanent harmony or health bodily, until
we become so through proper adjustment of soul to spirit,
through recognition of ourselves as spirit prinoiple, and thu
establish a continuous soul experience prooeeding from thit
basis. The trinity in unity, of spirit, soul and body, oonatitute
the perfect individual. Until these three are in agreement,
the forces are scattered and destroyed.
The body iv the moat dependent, and, therefore, the tlrat to
· feel the effect of imperfect adjutment. If not firmly cemented
to spirit, ita flnt O&WK\ through the central link, soul coneoiousneu,
it becomes eventually withered and lifeleu, u a
branch severed from ita vine.
The law of the Holy Trinity can be traced in all manifeatr.­
tiona of nature, and ia a neoeuity to every perfect produotion.
Until three elements are united, there can be no whol8Deu or
completion. There oan be no manifest.or unleu in the operation
of manifesting, and the reault of the manifest.or man\fesing
is the manifested. One leans upon the other and dependa
upon it. ·
Every thing in nature conforms to this law. Every aooompliahment
involves the union and cooperation of three factors.
The hand, the seed, the ground are neoeuities in planting.
Thus in every aonceivable evolution the grammar of life demands
strict adherence to ite requirement of so bjeot, verb and
object. No sentence ia complete without the union of the
three. The earth, its action, and ita orbit are in such perf eot
unity, that we are carried with it, unooneoioua of any motion.
It ia only when there is •'a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip" that
there ia failure of unity, or adjustment, that diaappointment
and diaoord are the negative result.
Jesus, the Christ, manifested in the fleeh the unity of the
Trinity. He proclaimed himself to be one with the Father.

absolute correspondence. B1·iJging the oha.~m of ignoran:1e in
regard t.o the relation of soul :uul hotly, hy the recognition of
their true relation, the body became illu1ui11ated by spirit.
Man's true dominion over the body is demonstrable by the
recognition of the law of the Trinity and faithful adherence
t.o it, until spil'it becomes the one element in which soul and
body are merged. To reclaim the body from failure through
any other process, has proved impossible. This 111.w is as positive
upon the higher plane of being, as is the law of gravitation
upon the physical plane. Man may manipulate the fteah,
medicinally, surgically, magnetically and in a th•msa.ud various
ways, as he does t.o no effect save that of shifting and
changing, and arresting disaase aoJ pain for a 'ime. The body
grows old and fall11 away because not liok01l to the fountain.of
life through understanding and u110 of the true law.
Life, man's origin, is spirit immortal; but, by calling him.
aeJf mortal, man causes the body to reflect his mortal conception
and become mor~l. Man's origin is Almighty Good;
but he prononnoos himself to be the conception of sin and
ignorance, and the body, partaking of the poi11onous diet prescribed
for it, goes out in darkness and ignorance.
Man's origin, spirit, is divine Love, the one sub:;tance in the
universe in which all else is comprehended; but, not claiming
and thereby knowing the source of his strength, he is tempesttossed
and full of fear. He stands in awe of everything, ootknowiog
how to prot.ect himself. The body which is the
obedient reflector of soul, can but chronicle the fear that
sweeps through it, and the record it shows, is called by the
name of fear, disease and final dissolution. Thus the process
of diversity from principle increases, and man is constantly
defeated in his effort at bodily control, through not attacking
the problem correctly at the beginning.

Jish this false premite which reaulta in man's defeat. The
dogma of original sin, is a direct aeveranoe of man from his
true origin, and destroys happineu, health, and unity. Ita
whole process is one of denial of Omnipotent God, and of necessity
establishes a soul oonciouanea-t.o those who aooept it
-of all that is opposed t.o the elevation and joy of mankind.
The true meaning of religion is reunion. It pointa t.o the unity
of God with man, or man with himself-spirit, soul and body.
The Scripture injunction in one place is, Make of your body
a fit tabernacle for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The
method of accomplishing this, is through the interior proeees
of reaching into the fouutain of spirit, and opening a passage
for its pure wat4lra t.o cleanse and purify soul and body, until
both become u clear as their fountain sooroe, the life.giving
Svirit.
The body, to be a fit tabernacle for the spirit, must be indestructible,
as spirit is etern~ and not fall away by di1e.1e,
leaving the t.enant without its house t.o dwell in. That which
is not enduring. is not a fitting plaoe for the changeless eternal.
It is man's privilege t.o make it so. It lies within his
ability to do llO.
As the soul recognizes itaeJf, the ego, t.o be perfect, changeleu,

Jesus came not t.o destroy the law of the Trinity or any
other perfect law, but t.o fulfill it. He showed the law in full
operation when he, through the understanding of his origin,
brought Life, the first principle, to light; that is, he revealed it
t.o the world, by holding spirit and body in union through
the appearance of death. The negative law of death was

be no parent without a child, neither child without parent.
Bat the two uniting, a oomplete manifestation was made, and

which have been apoken of the body, muat be redeemed by the
int.elligent ones aa they recognize the law of the Holy Trinity
in mankind, by saying t.o every at.om called fleah, blood and
bone: Spirit thou art, and aa spirit and life thou shalt continually
be renewed and keep paoo with the immortal aoul and
apirit. This word continually apoken by the aoul of the body,
will awaken a new life and courage within it. The body, alwaya
obedient t.o mind, will be obedient t.o this true command,
and will begin t.o apring int.o newneu and power. "Without
the word waa not any thing made that waa made." For "every
idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof
in the day of judgment," which day of judgment ia ever upon
us; and the account taken of every word or thought ia writt.en
upon the body, the book of life. The idle words of fa1ae
soul oonsciousneas record upon the body diaease and failure.
The true words, the connecting link between apirit and body,
record health, power and peace.
For a while the wheat and tares grow together; the contradiction
of the true and £alee, like a house divided against
itself in discord. But the time arrives when there must be a
aeverance of the two, when, if the tares of false worda and
false consciousness are not rooted out and dismiued, the body
will fall away. But man has it in bis power, here and now, to
redeem both body and soul from the dominion of false words
and thoughts, and may, if he will, root out the whole harvest
of tares, of sin, sickness, failure, and destruction. The words,
"Depart, I never knew you," are most potent. The conaciousne88
and power which these words, when used int.elligently, will
bring, of warmth, light and life, are ineatimable. Because
while they clear the soul of fear, they prepare it for hope and
happineH, and union with the perfect substance, spirit, whfoh

THE TWO WORLDS.
The world baa long been 188king a knowledge of oauaation.
The religious world goes at one bound from material manifestation
to the penonality of a Deity as the cause of all things,
a mental prooeaa which is, of oouree, baaed upon revelation.
At the same time the thinking clasaee, who are ready to quea.
tion everything and accept nothing which is not aupport.ed by
reason, have denied the evidence of a Supreme, Individaalliled
Personality, who ia the first cause.
There have always existed two aohoola of thought, or, perhaps
better, methods of thought,-the intuitive and the deductive.
The intuitive, with one leap, baa aoaled all manifestation
and laid hold on the fint cause, while the deductive begins
down where it finds itself and tries to trace the lines backward
and upward toward that cause. The iwo claaaea have for centuries
been ooming closer and closer together, until at the pr-.
ent time the deductive aohoola of ao-oalled material aoience
have reached a point where they perceive that all things are
immarsed in an immense ocean of what they have been pleased
to denominate, ether, and this ether, they see, permeates the
interapaoe of all material things; therefore, they aooept and
announce that this unknown aubstanoe they call ether is omnipresent.
They further see and aver that this ether is the cause,
force, and life of all things; therefore, they call it omnipotent.
Some have gone ao far as to announce that there are evidences
from a material standpoint that this ether is an intelligent,
orderly, oauaative principle. Here, then, upon this ground,
the intuitive, or religious, and scientific cluaea meet.
Since the beginning of revelation, God bu been called the

Almighty, the Omnipresent, the Omnipotent Creat.or. The
more thoughtless classes ha,·e ever enrlowed this Omnipotent
Cause with a physical organism like their own, seated ~omewhel'f\
away otf in space, dominating creation, as would an individual
man; but those who have had the higher inspirations,
while they eall it God and have received or formulated a name
for that thiuking intelligence, yet have not limited the intelligence
to a 11pecific locality, as will be seen in the records
of the Christian and Hebraic Bibles. In this broader view are
found all those comprehensive expressions wherein religion
and science now meet. The same inspiration and revelation
have led many people into the thought that all is miud, and
that all mind and substance, of every name and nature, are
spirit; although they make no attempt to understand this great
thought. Some of them have run to great extremes, ignoring
the existence of an Intelligent, Creative Power, scoffing at the
revelations of Deity; but, at the same time, they have recognized
the great underlying revelation of all revelations; namely,
that God created tlte universe by a word, that God creat.
ed from himself all that is.
If God is spirit, then the inevitable conclusion is that all is
spirit, and we may accept the naming of the scientific and deductive
mind and say, All is ether. This bringg us to the ancient
and immortal conclnsion, pronounced mauy thousand
years ago: "As below so above," which means simply this,­
that there are laws governing the physical universe accessible
and visible to all life, and that we, as mankind, find ourselves
in this material world subject to those governing laws. Scanning
this physical manife11tation, the wisest have come to the
conclusion that use is the prime, dominant feature of all creati
ve law. Now, as we torn our attention to that creative law, we
see, wherever matter resides, a formative potentiality. Grass,

manilestations, expressee it.self in form and function; and
we, as the crowning work, crowning expression of that creative
thought, aa tillers of the ground, as utilizers of all that is,
are neoeeaarily forced to formulate the idea of good and evil.
The idea of good and evil begins with that which is uaeful
to us and that which is not useful to us. That which is not
usefnl to us, is an obstruction to the accomplishment of
onr purpoee. Here begins the law of good and evil, a law
which has a still wider application. According to revelation
the creative force that some call God, others law, others
ether, had in it a de&nit.e object, and all things are working
together to forward that object; therefore, from the standpoint
of the In&nit.e lnt.elligence, there can be no evil, for
even those things that are working to thwart and make diftl.
cult compliance with the in&nit.e object of creation, &1'8 in themselves
necessary factors in making strong and pot.ent all that is
working in direct harmony with that object. This is seen, first,
in the recognized law of the survival of the fittest. An examination
of this law might be elaborated into volumes, but we
wish here only to suggest a thought, and from what has been
&aid we offer the following pictnre for cont.emplation.
We, as int.elligent men and women, find ourselves lit.erally

In other words, to make man a god, that is, a power governing
in creation. Therefore we find ourselves, illustratively speak·

this ocean of unformulated mind substance.
Here we apply the law of use in the upper sphere. If we,

one's consciousneBB with it, the consciousness of physical limi·
tations, the body, which he has been in the ha.bit of calling himself,
ceases to appear so important and so powerful a restrainer
aa it does at present. Yes, the body, subject, as it is, to material
law, then becomes subordinate, absolutely obedient t.o one's
mind, the mind that is allied to the Cause, God. And he who
intelligently unites himself with the tendency of all creation,
the object of creation, therefore with its laws, and who realizes
bis onene88 with that limitless fountain, becomes in himself a
son of God, having dominion over all manifested things. He
becomes a little world, a nerve ganglion, active in this universe
of life, sending forth continually useful, creative thought forms.
He becomes an organ in the creative mind, by which the Almighty
carries forward and brings to certain ultimates the object
of the creation, or manifestation of matter.

minds turn away from it and become abaorbed in some of the
interests of life. In this is the prot.ection to the perpetuity of
the race. But such a condition produoea extremes, so that our
great men are in reality only great in some one line and very
small in every other. You who would perpetuate generation,
should perpetuate it on a plane worthy of the human raoe;
and for t)iat purpose you should bend all your efforts to the
taking control of the forces of your own body and mind to the
end that. when you wish to produce offspring, you may have
a fountain of life endowed with mental capacity in any and all
directions, enabling you to produce strong men and women,­
men and women capable of not only rising and living above diaeased
states. but capable of grasping with a master hand all
the problems of life.
Our reference to myatioa who have lived this life, was for the
purpose of giving you proof from the history of the past that
it is a moral life and one producing mind power. It was intended
as a suggestion to enable you to 6.nd unanswerable argument.a
with which to meet the ignorant and egotistical
classes, claiming to be learned and wise, who would denounce
such a coune of life.
We repeat the words used in the foregoing article, that men
differ one from another as to the phenomena attendin1 the
vital conservation, and the difference to which we wish to call
your attention is, that some persona, as soon as they are oonvinced
that it is wisest and beat to atop all involuntary waste
of the vital fluids can do so without any extraordinary effort.

in the positive forces of nature, whoee mental action does not
take in what we have called vital thought. Here we muat
give a little deecription of the mental habits of thia cla&a of
people, in orcler that yoo may diatinguiah between auch thought
and what we denominate vital thought. Thoae dwelling in
the poeitive thought do no• allow anything to enter into their
emotional or even devotional nature; they are not in any way
governed by that interior overftowing aoul of love. They may
poueu atrong puaiona and have wha• would appear to be a
atroug love nature, but it is from thia class of minda that the
oonolU1ion baa been aent forth into the world that love is purely
aexua1 puaion. Theae minda are the dominant ones in the
external affain of life, and they will not oonacioualy obtain u,
important reaulta from the conaervation of the life as othen.
They will, it is trne, if delicate in health, regain their health;
their minda and wills will beoome atronger and their minda
clearer; but all theae oonditiona are not aa appaNnt to the individual
u they wonld be did he live more in the devotional
and love nature.
If men and women of this claaa wish to obtain the highest
and beat of life'• qaali6oationa, they ahould make a study of
the spirit of devotion; they should aearoh deep down in their
own natures, find and bring up from ita depths that spirit of
love which baa for ita vital center devotion to the highest ideal
of God. When this apirit of love is brought to the surfaoe
and lived in, it will be found to be an instrument through
which knowledge may be inspired; for, although the thoaghta
and ideaa that flow in may be, at first, only theories, yet if the
mind holda to them and continues in the apirit of devotion,
there will soon open before it abundant evidence by which the
theories may be oon&rmed and tranaformed into knowledge of
fact. If thoee who can 80 readily control the life forces do not
turn their attention to musing upon the idea of God, upon the
highest attributes posaible to human life, upon the spirit of

love and devotion, they will grow hard and poaitive, and oertain
adverse conditiona may oome in and take control of the
mind, and before they are aware of it, they may become instruments
of ael&h desire and oppreaaion. We would, therefore,
impreu upon such minds the neoeeaity of delving deep into
what baa been called the spirit of devotion, the religious spirit,
for this is one aide of life that is neceaaary to oompletement.
Thia aide of life ia what we have termed the vital aide; it
touches the aouroe of life. It i1 the feminine aide of one's
nature.
If everything is going well with you and the foregoing thought
ia brought to your mind, yon may take hold of it from a purely
business standpoint,-aa a means of obtaining health and
strength of mind and body. This it will give yon, but we
would have you receive even more; we would have you reoeive
added powers, or, in other words. we would have you develop
both sides of your nature, and thus be well balanced within
yourself. Reall the tim~ in your experience, for there baa
been such a time if you have reached the age of maturity, when
your external hopes and desires were croBSed and you were
forced to retire within yourself, and there sprang up within
yoq a deep sadness, a longing desire for something, some one
in whom you could place oon6.denoe. Analyze that at.ate and
you will find that you not only desired some one in whom you
could place confidence, but that you were really reaching out
in earnest aoul-p1-ayer for this feminine side of your nature,
through which alone you can obtain added consciousness and
mind power. Recall to your mind, as best you can, what the
result of that state was. You may call it sadness or dejection,
or you may have so thoroughly banished it from your mind
that you do not acknowledge, even to yourself, that it ever existed;
but you have had the experieuce, and if you allow your
mind to dwell npon it, you will soon recollect all the f~lin~.

emotion& and deairea that were active at the time. If you
would reach the higheat pouible attainment. giving a well-balanced
mind in every direction, go back and gather up this experience,-try
to realir.e it, try to renew the experience, bring
back and try to live in it long enough to know it; for from it
you can learn what this apirit of love and devotion, the 11pirit
of the feminine side of your nature ia. and you oan alao learn
how to make use of it for the development of added powera.
But Jet me warn you here, if you dwell in it too ooutinuedly,
you will aw1Lktin within you a sex passion auoh aa you have
never known. Do not fear this paaaion; let it live and grow,
for it is the meana by which you are gaining added life, provided
you do not let it grow beyond your strength of control,
or your intellectaal ability and will. If you allow it to grow,
at the 11ame time keeping the mind and will in predominance,
so as to hold it oont.inually under control, there will open within
you a new world of mind, and love, peace, and all the most
desirable attribute& of human existence.
Here yon meet another great danger, for unless you can centralize
that interior mind-which yon will have there discovered
and which we have been describing-upon God and upon the
higher morality covered by the words of the Nazarene wheq he
said, "Lo\·e thy neighbor as thyself," you will be in danger of
using for the purpoMe of coercing others into compliance with
your will and Btllfish desires, the consciousnesa of power and
resource that has arisen within you through the courae of
life described. Thia is the open door into the dark realm of
black magic, and if you allow yourself to entet' in at that door,
all peace of mind and joy of living will be left behind, and
though you may find therein powers to gratify certain aelfish
motives and desires, yet the farther yon go the darker and
more desperate become your chances of obtaining that for
which you are really seeking. Therefore, at this atage of

awakening we pray you to lay aside aelfishneu and aeek the
great.est good for all. We ask you to turn back and in the
present connection read carefully the first three numbers of
these instructions.
Here we leave you, because when you have reached this
point in youl' experience, you will begin to recognize and understand
another class of the human family which will now
have our attention, and the instructions to them will be for
you also-on this feminine side of your nature.
Is not the evidence of Ease on the very front of all the
great.est works in existence? Do they not say plainly to na
not ''there has been a great effort here," but "there has been a
great power here''? It is not the wearinees of mortality but
the strength of Divinity, which we have to reoognize in all
mighty things; and that ia just what we now never reoognize,
but think that we are to do great things by the help of iron
bars and perspiration; alas I we shall do nothing that way but
lose· some pounds of our own weight.
We have always need of the infinit.e, the eternal, the absolute;
and since science oontenta itself with what ia relative, it
neoeaaarily leaves a void, which it ia good for man· to fill with
contemplation, wonhip, and adoration.

RALPH WALDO EKEBBO:I
AND HARRIET BEEOHEB STOWE •
When the morning stars first sang together, and the Sona
of God listened to the great Solar Anthem, there must have
been a duet from Castor and Pollox M representatives of the
Sign Gemini. ha unique duality exceeds that of any other
Sign. It stands for the po11itive and the negative, the right
hand and the left, for peace and war, for progreu and retrogression.
It thus r4'presents the airy element in a four-square
capacity as emblematic of spirit, and so lays the foundation of
the Temple of Immortality, within which humanity may enter
and become inspired for the grand work whereonto they are
called along the line of a perpetual development.
In a tribal sense Issacbar, as its representative, becomes the
Zodiacal Hercules, lifting humanity upon each shoulder, both
educationally and inspirationally, into that high atmosphere
where -with Mother Earth below-they can breathe the more
heavenly oxygen and be more fully allied with the dhine.
In attempting to illustrate in human life this ·Sign of the
Twins, the writer feels impelled to do so through two well.

Tracing first tbrongh the Zodiacal Circle before u11, that of
Mr. Emerson, we note th11.t the Earth was in the 6.rst Ddcan
of Gemini, and that the Moon had been only a few hours in
the Sign of Leo, at the time of hie birth. His hands and his
heart, therefore, form the basis of hie career. Versatility and
illumination were strongly unit.eel. And yet it is probably
true that a tonch of the Taurus element in~rmingled in hie
Earthy Sign, and somewhat of Cancer in his polarity. When
to this is added the fact that in the East the Rising Sign appearing
was Libra, we have indeed a most delicate adjnstment,
physically and mentally, upon which the planetary foroea oonld
act with unusual reaponeiveneu. To that end Venus in Virgo
(ita beat position) oontribnt.ed in causing to exist an ideality and
fine discriminations in the Love Element, as well as in opening
his impresaional 011.tnre to tbe in8ux of those 6.ner spiritual intuitions,
which eventually made him both poet and philosopher.
With Saturn, Mars, and Mercury in Pisces, we quickly
discern the foundation of that reatl888ness which in earlier life
pervaded his being. He must know what the Brook Farm
meant, experimentally. He must stand in the pulpit as the
exponent of Truth, as he understood it,-even as a transcendentalist.
But, as the ye:~rs came along, be eat more and
more in the quietude where he could hear "the still, small
voice," until one day he borrowed of hie friend Whittier the
Quaker books .on the ordinance..", and, upon returning them,
was able to say with much emphasis: "John, the Quakers are
right. It is all spiritual, and I will never administer an outward
ordinance again." And be never did. His church did
not agree with him, and he thenceforth became a coamopolitan
thinker, believing in the omniscience of the spirit and the omnipresence
of common sense, listening ever to what the inner
voice revealed. The poemR and eR111.ys that followed attest to
his faithfnlneas, and to the growth of soul that enabled him to

become the Occidental Mystic of the Ninet.eenth Century. He
learned to apply bis own words to his own acts:-
" He that feeds men aerveth few;
He ur11u all who dare• ~ true."
His reatle88 hands and feet became restfnl after the intellectual
struggles and apprehensions were tranamut.ed into oomprehensions
that the Over Soul aboat him wu the very atmosphere
of Divinity, and that his own spirit wu at home there. What
a le880n is this, not only to Biological stadents, but to all who
realize in daily life the need of an overcoming of the earthly
procli vitiest
And what did the planetary forces do for him in the line of
expresaion? A glance at the circle shows that both Uranus
and Jupiter were in the Sign Aries when Earthly soenes first
appeared to him. Herein the great.est, and also the molt metaphysical
planet, bad their mighty aniaaion. Jupiter enlarged
all his ideals and voiced them to the world in language at onoe
noble and powerful. U ranua clothed his mind with olear ideas
of the spiritual and the mystical, so that he became u indomitable
as Ciesar,-pushing on with fiery st.eeds that knew no opposition,
conquering and to conquer. And ever by those st.eeds
did the Messenger of the Gods run, adding strength and rapidity
to the onward roll of this Mystic Chariot. When Air and
Water came into calm, the dual Fire of ArieR proclaimed the
inspirations of this great soul in thoughts so remarkable that,
as the Twentieth Century dawnR, they have beoome largely
incorporat.ed into the religions thought of all our Proteetant
Churches.
While in no sense natively creative or original (as the circle
shows), illumination, intuition and inspiration were the
triune forces that so posse&Aed him, that he was above the need
of origination, and had hut to open his spiritual eyes to see
the Troth in its wonderful height, width, and depth, u well as
its adaptation to the soulful need of God's sons and daughters
in all th~ir varied necenitiea.

The Zooiacal Circle of Mrs. Stowe showa that the Earth
and Moon oooupied the same positions at her birth as when
Ml'. Emerson was born. We need not repeat, therefore, our
oomments thereon, but note how differently in every other way
the bea vens portrayed her natural characteristina. We will,
however, pause to say that her femininity opened still more
fully the inspirational currents which appertain to Gemini,
and made her more susoeptible to such planetary forces as we
find belong to her Zodiacal Circle.
It will first be noted that the Earthy Triplioity is exceedingly
strong and forms the basis for that amplitude of work in
various ways which ao distinguished her life.
In Caprioom, at the head of this Triplioity. Jupiter and
Mara formed an ideality as to earthly attainment whichunited
with Uranus and Venus in the interior sign Taurus,
where the oocult foroes control the lower hrain in so fine a
aense-produoed, no matter what shonl1l be in the w~y. a virility
in aspirational climbing, seldom found. In the~ planetat'y
relationships, ldeality of mind was co-operative with ite best
psychometric qualities, and, in their unity. the keenest possible
perceptions were opened as to the world about her. These
qualities found their expression to the world through Mercury
in Virgo, where, as "Messenger of the GodR," he waA very discriminative
in voicing to humanity her pent-up and individualized
convictions. These formed her three-fold cord with UJhich
to drive the merchandising out of the Temple of Freedm!
Satnrn in Cancer, intensified her womanly qualities, and
spiritualized all her ideas regarding the home life. Further
than that, it turned hel' mind into the Chriatly thought of doing
for others in other homes, as the Golden Rule bas taught.
It created soulful harmony, through mnsio and fine ideas, as
to what the world should be. It tended also to strengthen
her lung power, and make her thereby, physically, both finer

and stronger. Thu endowed, the great world lay before her
restleaa, intuitive, illuminative. and inapirational mind aa a
Garden of the Lord, needing tilling for finer and mol'e bountiful
production. With a multitude of home cares and duties,
she ooold momentarily paaae from day to day and indite those
wonderful paaaagea in "Uncle Tom's Cabin",-aeeing all the
while from her inner self the final outioome.
While the Earthy Triplioity governed her largely and enabled
her to truly aenae the earthly needs from an earthly understanding,
and ao act practically, she was, nevertheleaa, often
able, aa the experiences of life inc~ her soulful development,
to climb the Mountain of Transfiguration and rest there,
pouring forth her pRD of thanksgiving, aa these lines from
her pen ao clearly teatif y:-
"So to the Soul that knowa Thy Love, 0 Purest,
There is a temple peaceful evermore;
And all the babble of Life's angry voioea
Diu in huah«l sttllncaa at its Sacred Door!'
The vibratory waves of noble thought whfoh these children
of the Air put in motion daring their earthly career, still move
with increasing force into the hearts and homes of the world.
They each iJlastrated that the reward comes to thoae who overcome.
An unusual natural restlessness pe"aded each. But
their lives proved that all earthly reatleuneas may become the
very haven of rest when the intellect willingly oomea under
the dominion of the Holy Spirit. Then God speaks and act.a
through man and woman as parts of Himself. Aa theae two
11oula have shown us that, as reatlen Geminis they ooold be

roadway to the Eternal Kingdom, 80 may it enoourage us who

are in condition t.o obtain knowledge, truth. Another olus
appear so nearly like thoee t.o whom we have jnst refened
that they are often mistaken for the true order of mind; they
are the onea who, thinking along independent linea, reject everything
they hear from another-they seem to he incapable of
receiYing a thought and oarefully weighing and balanoing it
in their own minds in order to 8nd its true value. lt was, ondonbtedly,
beoanse of the aboft faota that the followers of
Jeans, when he was on earth, were not of the eduoat.ed o1&88e8
bot were really ohoeen from among the lowest olasa of the
people (ftahermen); and it will be eeen that. while the Apostle
Paul was the moet eloquent of all the Apostlea, yet be was

hia writinga with thoee of the loving disciple John, show how
traneoendently beyond the writings of Paul are thoee of John.
If one wiahea to obtain real knowledge, be mnat deaire to
know purely for the aake of the use of the knowledge to himaelf;
he ahould refuae t.o seek for or acquire knowledge that be
doee not need. The animala and birds go out and gather food
when they are hungry, and when their hanger ia aatiafted they
leave it until they are again in need of it. Thia is the expreaaion
of pure nature. We are t.old that the children of larael
were taught an important leaaon in thia direction while they
were in the wilderneaa. When they were being fed with manna
they were not allowed to gather any more than juat enough for
the day. Again, we read the words of the Lord'a prayer: "Give
ua thia day our daily bread,"-tbe food we need for the day, be
it for the mind or the body. If the individual looks into pure
nature for the food of mind be requires, with a oonsoiouaneaa
of need in himaelf, he will have no difficulty in knowing what

has meat in it and that which has none, between the false and
the true, beuame he is neceasitated to act from reason. Squir ..
rels and birds have an instinct whioh seems to penetrate into
the invisible and disoern that which man faila to diloover.
Thia ia simply because the mind of man baa been aoouatomed
to depend upon the five aen808 for everything. When a penon
who is in the habit of memorizing, reads new and important
tl'otha, hia attention is fixed on remembering what he ia reading,
that ia, remembering the words; while one who ia not in
the habit of memorizing, ia apt to read musingly with the mind
all absorbed in getting the real truth that lies under and behind
the words. He thus gives an opportunity for the instino·
tive nature to unite with the intellectual, thereby forming clear,
accurate intuitions as to what is truth and wha.t is error; in other
words, he looks within the shell and sees the kernel that is
there. This acconnts for the fact that in the advanced thought
there are so few leaders among the "highly intellectual'' people.
It ia the highly-cultivated claas who look for infallibility in
words; and if you talk t-0 these people about the new thought,
they quickly inform you that there ia nothing in it, simply because
they read the words only and find that the words of one
author contradict the words of another-they often say, How
can one know what is true, when there are so many oonfiicting
ideu?
Again, the same mental state gives rise to an inclination
among the maasea to single out some one leader and follow
that one leader implicitly, as if he or ahe had the infallible and
only truth. Such following amounts to nothing, except, possibly,
as an aid in bringing the new tho11ght to the notioe of a
greater number of people; but they who implicitly follow a
leader rarely accomplish mu!lh for themseJves. The ones who
will reMh the ultimates are the independent thinkers, who
desire to know the truth for themselves, who are not satisfied
with the statements of others; no matter if the whole world
united in certain conclusions, they would be ready to question
those conclusions and examine for themselves. Such minds

OORREBPONDENOE.
&rANFORD UNIVBB81TT, CAL. Deo. 11, 1900.
Mr. H. E. BuTLu,
D~r Fricnd:-I have received three numbers of The Oooult
and Biological Journal. Am feeling greatly intereat.ed in the
work you are aooomplishing, and wish to expreae my appreciation
of it. I am very glad that the good work carried on
heretofore by The Esoteric ia to be oontiaued.
In acquainting myself with the horosoopea of different people,
I found a very strange case, and yet I presume that to you
it may be an ordinary occurrence. A daughter, born September
7, 1873, was polarized in the sign PUoee, the one her
mother came under, who, in turn, was polarised in the daugh·
ter'a aigo of Virgo The mother's date of birth I failed to pot
in my book, but I might succeed in getting it, if you should
wish. The two were very unfortunately oppoeed to each other
in almost everything, and each one was perfectly miserable, .
not dreaming there was a cauee for it. I wrote their horoscopes
for them, and they were surprieed, and pleased to aooount
at last for their peculiar oondition; and the last time I saw
them ~ey were determined to live together with a better under.
standing of each other,a failings. I also wrote the hol'OIOOpe
of the son, whose nature seemed misunderatood by Uiem-December
19, 1867. These people were very gratefol..
I have found so often in writing the Sagittariut nature, or .
of one polari7.ed in that sign, that the person had a diapoeition .
to thrw things. One child-Jan nary 26, 1892-would actually
tell bia mother he was going to throw himself in the river if abe .
did not do ae he demanded, and would start otf down the hill
w the river in a perfect rage. Now, was it not a g90d thing

for that parent to know that she mu~t tea.oh her child to reatrain
his hasty speech and action?
I have found so many who were born or polarised in Virgo
with some trouble of the eyee. Had rather an amusing experience
with one fond mother, whoee child came July 28, 1898. In
the Leo nature wu the tendency to deception. She read that
far, then put the paper away, t.elling me that if there wu one
oharao~ri11tio she dreaded it was that, and she knitw her child
did not have it. I told her that it tea in her child, and her duty
was to teach the child to be frank and honeat, and in that way
overcome any tf'ndenoy to deception. She wished me to write
her own hol'OllOOpe, bot eaid that I must leave out anything
that was di&agreeable; llO I refmed to write it. I met this lady
a year afterward, when she reminded me of her child'• horollOOpe.
Said she was astonished to find that the child had tried
to deeeive her a nnmoor of times, and so she opened and read
what I had written. She thanked me very sincerely, and was
willing to have her own horoeoope written with everything u
it wu; bot I hl\ve never written it.
I came aorosa a poor workman, a carpenter-August 29,
1877 -and inspired him with the desire to educate himself for
that which be was fit~. He was soon attending leutures at
the College. Same of the Ariea people are ver.v foxy-to
epeak plainly, bitter and revengeful; and bow I pity some of
the Taurus people who have not been instrncted in honeety.
One poor hoy could not help etealing and bad to be expelled
from his RChool; and I felt that bis mother wa.• to blame. She
told me that the habit began when he used to take the pennies
from her pone. She should have taught him to be hoDMt,
and to de11piae theft. I could relate many oases true to your
tracing of character.
The study of vibration is extremely interesting to me, and
with all my studies of occult matters I a.-;sooiate your work of
Solar Biology-it is invalnable. I was sorry to 11ee tlaat

·and I suppose was indebted t.o you for muob of her material.
I know that your time is very valuable, but for a long
time I have wished t.o writ.e this letter-I think Uie moon in
Leo has something t.o do with its dat.e although it did not ooour
to me till I went for your book. I am eameetly driving
for true soul growth and spiritual uufoldmeuL U you oaa
speak a word of help, pleue do IO.

NOlllNG Dl8BA8B; DE'l'ERlllNING MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND BUSINESS QUAUl'ICATIONS,
CoNIUGAL ADAPTABIUTY, ETC., FROM DATE OF BIRTH.
BY H. B. BUTLER.
Illustrated with Seven Plate Dlagrama and Tables of the Moon
and Planets, from 1820 to 1902. ·
This science proves that "all are members of One Body (I. Cor. XII. 12-27); and
that, aa aucb, each one bas his peculiar function in life. It tbrowa a llood of new
light upon the problema of life, furnishing the groundwork, or scientillo law, whlob
goes down into the minutie of the life of every man and woman, as a mirror rellectlng
his or her innate nature. This work tells what ia in man and bow derived.
Tella 'how to cultivate self and make the most and best of life. Tells one, when a
child is born, what kind of training it should have, to what diseasea it is liable,
how to avoid or bow to cure when already developed. Reveals the part of the grand
body to which each individual belongs, and the consequent mental tendenciea,
. physical lltneaa, ·natural sphere, and highest and fittest use in the world.
It enables parent.a to know just what business their children are best adapted
for, and how to educate them, and is also a guide in the preservation of health and
strength, and an important aid to success and to the attainment of the great object
in life; viz., usefulness and happineBB. It also aids in prolonging the life of
old and young. It is of special importance to pbyeciane, enabling them to attain
great euc~ through having in the~ possession a certain key to knowledge concerning
the nature and peculiarities of their patient.a such aa heretofore has been
available only to those few that were of rare intuitive discernment.
It is claimed that character le expreBBed in the countenance, that it shapes the
. C)ranium, and is even written in the band: but Solar Biology introduces the student
Into the grand workshop of the Solar System, not only defining character and function,
but supplying the key to self-knowledge and harmonious human relatedneBB.
SOLAR BIOLOGY makes an elegant octavo volume of 500 pages, heavy paper,
clear type, with author's portrait and appropriate illustrations. Bound in superior
cloth, embellished with symbolic designs in gold. No elaborate study or preparation
is required to enable one to read character and otherwise apply the science.
The key to the use of the science will be found on page 274, and can be fully
mastered in a few minutes. Price $5.00.

ESOT'ERIO EPHEMERIS
1901
Ia now on sale.
Because of its accuracy and from the fact that it glyee data
not to be found elsewhere in print, this Ephemeris will prove an important aid to
students of Astrology and of Solar Biology.
The work contains complete data for linding the time of rising of Zodiacal Signs,
a Table having been specially computed showing Sidereal Time of Sign-Cusp Risings
for every degree of North Latitude from F.quator to 60° corrected for spheroidal
shape of the Earth, available, also, for same degrees of South Latitude.
This Table will be uaeful for any future year, as its extreme change will probably
not exceed 5 BeOOD~ in a half century. Greenwich Time is used throughout,
which makes change to Standard Time involve even hours.
The work contains
Special Tables for finding the time of rising of the signs at Boston, New York,
Washington, Chicago, St. Paul, Denver, San Francisco, and London. It tells how
to easily construct similar Tables for other places.
Full explanations are given
for use of all the Tables, with especial ref~rence to the needs of tho88 not accUBtomed
to mathematical work.
Forty page1 are devoted mainly to arithmetical operations
and interpolation methods which will place the student in command of
the mathematical work necessary in the si.udy of Astral Science.
Explicit directions are given as to proper uae of Staudard Time.
The Ephemeris
proper gives the Heliocentric Longitude of each planet and Geocentric Longitude
of the Moon to minutes of arc for every day in the year; also Sidereal Time
of Greenwich Mean Noon for each day.
Gives exact time, to tenths of minutes,
of entrance of Moon and planets into each sign, corrected for Nutation, showing
in each C&Be also the time it takes for light to come from planet to Earth.
This work has original, genuine merit. In its mathematics, it follows the latest
Astronomical Authorities. ·It contains the best expoeition of Sidereal Time published
by any writer on occult science.
It is by an Astronomer of Observatory
experience, who has need the most conscientious and painstaking care in its
preparation.

it was p11t in the form of aeeking to know the lawa governing
their being, that they might riae auperior to the fo~ of oiroumatanoea,
aometimee called fate, and to a certain extent, be
master of their own deatiny.
But all who have attained anything worthy of note, have
found that there is but one general thought and aouroe by

p:utial exiiitence, ia demonstrated in the fact that there are a
few who have reached high attainment.a in spiritual knowledge
ancl power. This, however, baa been but partial knowledge,
aud it brought proportionate results.
The qnestion now arises, oan we who atand upon the earth
to.day, having all the experience of the put age, not find methoos
that will open up the finer eenaibilitiea, giving u11 aooeaa to
the fountains of inapiration, Uirough which we may obtain per·
feot knowledge of the lawa of the universe, eepeoially those
gonrning our own life.
Methods have been found al\d employed which increased the
knowledge of the people and opened up to them the fountaina
of inspiration. For inatanoe, Buddha. while he had the ideal
of regeneration and many of the moet inportant methods for
piercing the veil, anJ entering into the light of truth, yet he
was like a man with a ball and chain attaohed t.o hit foo'­
throngh hia belief in karma. which cauaed him to aay to hie
diaciples:-"I forbid you, 0 bhikAhua, f;o employ any ttpella or
8Upplicutlom, for they are nseleu, since the law of karma gov·
erns all thinga."
Thia eeema to verify the words of the Prophet Isaiah in the
sixth chapter, ninth vene, namely, "And he said, Gu, and tell
this pl'Ople, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and aee ye in.
deed, but perueive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and
make their ears heavy, and ahut their eye1t; leat they see with tbflir
eyes, and hear with their ears, and andentand with their heart,
and oonvert, and be healed." Our Lord, Jeeoa the Christ, in
Mathew xm, 14th and 15th veraea, refers to tbia propheoy.
We believe it baa been the design of the Creator, and indeed
a necessity, that there should be something to abut the eyes,
and prevent the people of the earth from receiving and understanding
the whole troth, which, when understood, would
bring them into the likeness and image of Uod, poeseaaing

power over life and immortality, before the time had arrived
that the human family had maturecl the experimental knowl8Clge
relative to an earthly existence. and were folly developed for
that perfect age, which all men are destined to inherit in the
fullneaa of time.
Many have aoaght evidenoea in the stars, and in the oalculation11
of cycles, to prove that the era bu arri.-ed for the bringing
in of the ripened fruit of the earth, a perfected humanity;
but we will neither 1pecnlate, nor make the effort to aeuoh the
heavens above, nor the earth beneath for erideooea; the fact
that the highelt developed people on our planet, the Christian
aationa, are awakening to the neoeaaity of thil knowledge, ii
evidenoe enough for us, that the time baa oome, when thil
knowledge may be obtained and thoee grand ultimates reached,
at least, by some of theee people.
It is generally aooept.ed that Egypt and India have oome
nearer reaching that grand ultimate, than any others of whom
we have any history. Both hac.l aa a baae upon whioh to build
their beliefs; a ooemogony which oomprebended the object and
method11 in the mind of the Creator for creating and peopling
a world. In the oomideration of this ooamogony, man finds
the t.endency of all creative law, and in order to reach the high
ultimates sought for, he moat live in harmony with thoae laws,
aa we are creatnrl'I that have been produoed by them; and u a
stream can never rise higher than its fountain, we, therefore.
can have no hope of abrogl\tiog them, being the laws goYerning
our eidst.ence, and any violation will bring the oonaequent
i.nlts: namely, disorder of mind and body, dill8&88 and death.
The coemogony of the Hebrew scriptures presents to oar
mind in it!! very beginning. that death ent.ered the world by
sinning against aome of thA 111.wa of the universe; and not only
death, bat all the aorrow, ignorance and diftlcoltiea under which

for these oonditions, was the banishment, from the immediate,
oonRCioos presence, of the spirit of God. Therefore, it ia apparent
and reasonable, that if these great ultimate. for whioh
we hope, are ever to be obtained, it will be through a oorreot
knowleclge of, and perfect oomplianoe with, all the lawa of nature.
When this is acoompliahed, then the mind wUl be in
harmony with the mind of God, or the oreative power.
U indeed, there is a God. or even an int.elligent mind force.
that ia causing and oarrying forward the work of oreation,
in all ita divenity of manifestation, then b follows that there
must be one de&nite t.erminua, otherwise all would be ohaol. In
other words, there moat be a definite purpose in the mind that
has produoed all mind; in the oansation that has produoed all
causation. Therefore, if we wish to find the high goal, our
ultimate, we can never hope to find it by going aorou, or by
at....,mpting to swim up the stream against the tide of our own
and all other life. We mu"t determine in what direotion the
whole tide of creatiYe energy ia moving, and moYe with it; and
aot only so, bot as in this current of ~tive life there are
many streams in one; a stream of vegetable formation, of the
vari~ character of animiJ and a1ao of the bnman formation;
there is a1ao that mighty stream of mind and aonl power, which
ia indeed the aonl of all life.
Now, we know we may ally ouraelvea to that stream of mind
and 10Ul power, and repel that of the animal or the lower aenaual,
and nae only as mnuh of it as is neceaaary for the perpetu·
ity of our physical exiatenoe, which is good, beoauae it tends to
life and immortality; to negl4'0t tbia is evil, for it tends to sorrow,
disorder of mind, aickneu. and final death.
If we accomplish the object of this work, we ahall be able to
show you the direct course and ultimate towards which this
mighty stream of creative energy is flowing; and we shall be

KAN A MINIATURE SUN.
Dr. H. Baradoc, of Paris, who recently made aome interesting
experiment.a with the object of obtaining phot.ograpba of
the human aonl, baa now oome forward with a new theory,
which is that every human being ia a oainiature aun-ia, in
faet, what he atylea a "man sun.'' He has fully explained his
theory to the French Society of Biology, and also to the French
Academy of Scienoea, and ao impreaaed waa the aoademy that
it straightway appointed a oommittee composed of MM. d' Araonval,
Becqnerel and Moiaaon, and instructed it to examine
u to the soientiflc value of Dr. Baraduo's views.
Aooording to Dr. Baraduo-and the fact is generally admitted-man
is surrounded by an inoandesuent atmosphere known
u the photosphere. Now this photosphere, aa he points out,
is the theat.er of pertorbationa and of gigantic cyclones, the inftnenoe
of which ia felt even on our own small planet, aiooe it
also produces on this globe cyclones and oiher diatnrbaooe.a.
"We, too," says Dr. Baraduc, "have our photosphere or atmosphere,
which vibrates and moves, not only in aooordanoe with
the moral impresaions which we receive aooording to our spiritual
oondition, bot also aooordiog to the influence which is
brought to bear on it by the tempest. in the son and on the
earth." In other words, he inaiata on the verity of that old
aphorism of the alchemiata, the theorgiata, and the therapeotista-namely,
that "the small is like the great, and that which
is on high ia like that which ia below."
Aa a proof of hie theory, the doot.or and his aaaiatanta have
taken several photographs of vibrations which emanated from
human bodies, and when these bodiea were in varying conditions.

body are tranquil, those whirh emanated from the body in a
state of cerebral or cardiac activity resemble the normal atmosphere
of the sun, and those which emanated from a body in a

as they have been photographed by astronomers.
The coincidence of these photographic images is at least curious,
and at any rate there can be no qnestion a

DIVINE WISDOM.
Ooooltism is defined as Divine Wisdom, which emanat.et
from the primal eouroe of truth. Study it, it will lead you up
to the highest goal. It comea through an earnest desire to
know the troth, which can only be drawn from the inmost
fountain of interior life: therefore, look within for the grandelt

The surface or extea-ior is but an expreeaion of the oenter,
where the life energies glow and burn inoeeeently, to transmute
lower forma to a higher plane of existence; it ill the worship of
the Divine Architect,-f rom the least to the greatest.
To be snooeseful, work from general principles, and do not
be disturbed by personal opinions or theoriea; they have their
UM!S. but are only stepping atones to bridge over the mirey
places, that need joat such filling. The primitive soil ia marshy
and requires many periods of growth and much debris to make
a sufficiently solid foundation to tread and build npon; so aocept
all as good and necessary material.
Now, the building that ia t.o be ereoted is typical of your
body, or the house in which you live, and you are to be the

work that shall be acoeptable to and place you iu line with the

The other claaa to which we referred· in the preceding
article of this aeries might be termed the feminine class. It
comprises the men and women who are dominated by the
vital currenta of mind.
Students of Solar Biology are aware that all persona born
in the sign Cancer, are spooially feminine in their characteristics;
and it is also true that nearly all persona born in the ma.
ternal Trinity, aa well as many otherB, are dominated by the
feminine or vital mind currents. Those belonging to this claaa,
may at first · have but little difficulty in conserving the life
generated in the body; of course there are some who will have
difficulty from the start; but those who think they are going on
without trouble, will, before they have gone far, awaken to the
fact that they have met the lower mind currents of the animal
world, and that there is an effort on the part of that mind
force to flow in and find expresRion through them.
Many who have been striving to live thiR life have written
or said to me:-1 am trying to live a perfectly pnre life; though
my mind bas always been comparitively pure, now that I keep .
it from all low, sensual thought; why is it that in the dream
stllte I find myself doing things that I would no more be guilty
of, than I would of committing suicide? the most debasing
sen~ual ac.~ts take place in my dreams and seem to drag me
down to the lowest depth~.
This is becanae the vital currents of the planet are one.

which, in that condition of energy and pauion reach out
in upiration toward the nm higher stage of existence. Thus
the vital cnrrenta of the planet uoend through the same
channels that they deaoended, and penona who are in the
line of theM vital current&, 6nd that they are inclined to
flow through their organisms, from the conditions below
them, ou their way back to the Creator. Thu all forms
of aen1uon1 pauion that are in the lower spheres of life will
enter them and take form in their minds during the sleep state,
consequently. unleua they are on their guard and have main·
tained sufficient of their waking conacionaneu, these lower creative
foroea will lay bold of and nae their bodies without consent
of their will. Thia ia the oauae of dreams that are entirely
foreign to the thought&, feelings and imaginations of the individual.
But after all, are they entirely foreign to them? We
think not; for unleu there wu something akin in their organ·

which these lower foroee could act, it would be
impouible for them to do so. Here we are brought to the con-
1ideration of eome very delicate points which cannot be argued
or reasoned upon, but merely stated, which we will do in the
following few words.

We anggealed in a previons article that through control of the
sex nature and the spirit of devotion, powerful paasion condi.
tions would come into the organism, and that these conditions,
were not for gratification in generation, but for building up of
mind and eoul power• aa well aa physical powers, in the individual.
Therefore, while the lut named powers come from the world

ly, in the development of a strong, healthy, vital constitution,
and a wiae and powerful mentality.
In involution and evolution are found aspiration and inspiration.
The highest forms of phyaioal life upire to higher
forms and conditions on the Spirit or Cauae aide. Theae aspirations
take the form of prayer, earnest, loving, soul deaire.
They desire that which ia above them because they love it.
Love is the attractive power which draws to the individual the
thing loved, that it may be embodied in the constitution. . This
is the use of inspiration, and this kind of prayer may be used
to gather knowledge, wisdom or whatever is desired. It ia
the rule in all life; therefore, those on the plane below, love
and aapire to the next plane above; this produoea the Sowing
of the life and mind currents from the lower to the higher,
giving to the higher the pbyaioal strength of the lower, which
in torn receives from the higher, mental and apiritual con.
acionsnesa.
The feminine class have a predominance of this mental aotion;
being the viwizera of the earth, they are especially in the
creative currents of the planet, and for that reason their atmg·
gle is the greatest of all. In order to make the struggle aa

of the seed, to adopt methods that will bring about the most
positive physical and mental self control; such u oontroliog
the quality and quantity of food and drink taken into the body.
They should examine their habits of life in this direction and
6nd out if they are using anything that is not eeeential to
their well being, such as tea, coffee, intoxicants, tobacco, etc.,
and if BO, lay them aside. In overooming snob habits, they
will eatabliah in themselves the spirit of the oonqneror, and develop
a positive mental command; for this cl&11 has been ruled
more by the aenaationa than by the mind, or, more properly
speaking, by the vital nther than the intellectual thought.
They should also atop the U88 of animal flesh, &8 it is not absolutely
eaential to life, and strengthens the power of the animal
forces to rule over them; they being in such close touch
with the creative currents.
As so much has been written on the subject of dietetiOB, we
will not go into detail; each one must establish in his own
mind, by experimentation, what is esseotail to him, and eliminate
that which is not. No rules can be given in this direction,
for no two persons are constituted alike, and rules laid down
for the habit of one, will not answer for all, or for another, in
all particulara.
The early morning cold baths, described in a former article,
-will also be found useful in cultivating self control and a positive
mind. The terrible stupor and sleep conditions that nearly
overpower all, at first, who succeed in conserving the life, are
especially peculiar to the class we are now considering, and to
them we would say; keep the mind in a positive, intellectual
attitude; and if they enter into the spirit of devotion, it should
be with a desire for knowledge and power to control their own
bodies. They must overcome the love passion, to the extreme
of hating everything that belongs to sex relations. Tbey
should not avoid the society of the opposite sex, but while in
their company, should keep in mind the thought, that they
have risen above and are not to be controlled by any of the

erative stat.e, and that they are aaeooiating with men and
women of a higher and diviner order; a eooiety of men and
women, who are such, iu the truest and highest sense; realizing
the fact, that in the 88800iation of the sexes on the plane of
generation, as it iis today, the great adversary that prevents
all 11ocial freedom and the exercise of true manly and womanly
dignity and geniality, is the animal 11t.at.8 which dominates the
race. Those who have overcome that oondition should treat
their silt.er woman and brother man u if they were auperior
to that atate, and if in doing 80, the lower, sensual oondition
manife11ts itself in them, ignore it, or look down upon it in
thought, and if circumstances permit, in words; impre88ing the
world by which they are surrounded, with the idea that they
have risen above that ooudition, for by 80 doing they will aid
in elevating the race.
It will readily be seen that it is sex conditions that governs
all the lower order of animah, and man, the highest work of
creation, baa more of that sensual desire than the animala below
him, which, if indulged in, will degrade him below them.
Jt is that low state of life which should be looked down upon
and spumed, as the thing to be most detested. By doing 80,
and continuing in the thought it will become a normal state of
mind, and as soon as you can attain it, cause it to enter into
the inner oonsciousneaa of your being; or, in other words, as
soon as you can establish it in your vital thought, your difficulties
. in overooming all waste of the seed, will have passed.
Thie, then, is the moet important con1ide1-ation, for it is at
this point that you lay bold of the creative energies and lift
them out of their disorder and abuse, and place them wht-re
they belong, as instruments in the hands of God's sons and
daughters for the elevation of true manhood and womanhood,
upon the planet.
It can readily be reeognized that this attainment preeludes
the possibility of bending mentallly or phyeioally in the slightest
degree, to the influence of this perverted passion.

THE CENTRAL, VITAL TRUTH.
T~day, when eo many are considering the Yaried phaaee of
ad vaooecl thought, and are wondering if all that baa been written
concerning magio power is true, and if eo how obtained,
bad better, before they attempt to delve into oocultiam, gain a
firm bold on aome vital truth, and ooofidently follow it oat to
its ultimate; than go groping in the dark, turned by every new
theory they meet, till at lut they realize that it were better
had they never left the old beaten path, than to follow one of
wbiuh they knew nothing.
There are many who having given up the faith of their
youth, are mentally 1011t, and like the lsraelitell, are waoderel'll
searching for the promised land. We are told that when the
lara.,lites were departing from Egypt, they took with them all
the preoioos jewels they could find: so must those ere departing
from theh- former faith, take with them all the valuable knowledge
obtained from the religious and praotioal busine88 world
of '°"day; for all such knowledge is needed in asoeodiog the
ladder to perfeotioo.
To t.boee, however, ,who have entered this thought with the
sole object of satisfying their curiosity, and gaining dimly oomprebeoded
magic powere wherewith to amuse themselves, we
would say beware! for such a oouree will be your ruination;
however, it is not to such that we addreae oureelves, but to
thoee who have confidence in God and the guidance of the
Spirit, and who are earnestly searching after truth, that they
may know and follow its leading, no matter the sacrifice to
the.m~l ves.
The one vital truth around which all others cluster, is, Huli-

neaa unto the Lord; but we have heard this repeated 10 oftea
from early childhood, without the real comprebeuiou of itill
meaning, that the worda sound almott aeneeleaa; nevertbeleu, do
not tum away from this saying, for it is a precious jewel which,
if you will but apply in your life, you can verify for yoanelf.
Holineu does not mean cant, or what is commonly oa1led
religioua goodneu, but the aetting apatt for a oertain purpoee,
u were the veeeela of gold, aih•er and brua in the Temple of
Jeruaalem, which were called holy, not beoauae they of themaelvea
poeaesaed any moral attributee,-but the uae to whioh
they were put had that quality. In like manner may a person
set himaelf apart for divine uses, and thua become holy unto
the Lord, becoming an instrument for the aooompliabment of
the Divine will.
God is Spirit: u an intelligent formleaa ether he pervadee
all things, and like the fiabea in the sea, do we live and move
and have our being in Him.
While we know but little, what we do Jmow is of great u­
Biatance to ua, provided we use it to the beat of our ability, for
theu we will find it is sufllcient for all our needs.
What we live in, that which cauaea us to feel, is the vital
atmoepbere, called by some the aatral light or aoul of the world.
Thia is kept iu continual motion by the energy of man's mind,
and as this mind is not at peace, but constantly antagoniziug
something, we feel this inharmony, or general diatreaa aud
disorder wbioh effeota the world to.day, and baa for ages past.
h is poeaible, however, for anyone to gain tranquility and
peace of body and mind. through an effort of the will, and retiring
to some secluded spot; but even this is not luting or 11&&.­
iafactory.
As we have said before, God is a formleaa light that ptsr·
vadea all things; but the Divine life currenta are not affl'Okd
by the coal'iler current of earth any 0101-e tlwa i11 the aunliglat

affected by those of air. Therefore, by lettiug go of the perturbed
currents of earth, and living iu this subtle spirit, we
obtain the calmness, joy and light which Sowa unto all those
who come in touuh with the Divine radiance; and in this
alone can l'f'al lasting peace be found.
"God is Love" hence to become one with Him, we must love
this formlt'88, eternal, all pervading light with all the intensity
we are capable of, for as the world's greateet master said "Thon
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind, and.
atrength"-but thou Rhalt not imagine any image and call it
God, for God is formle88. Dwell on this thought oontinually,
and in time, months or even years to come, yon may attain
the l'f'&lization of its presence, and thus become conscious of
an eternal peace. But above a11, a proper attitude of heart is
essential, for it is only by striving to be like Him, and have His
light guide us that we become partakers of His nature.
Before closing, there are two points for the reader to bear in
mind:-flrat, that man as he is, iR so lacking in life, and that
80 depleted, that be is ahle but faintly, it at all, to become cognizant
of the Divine life currents; such a condition was anciently
call.-d being away from God. In fact the life of man is so
course, and the radiations from God 80 sutle, that there is no
immediate communication between them; but the regenerated
man comes as a savior, uniting man to God, because, by the
regeneration, the body is refined through the transmutation of
its vital fluids; hence is enabled to vibrate in unison and become
one with it.
Thus we see that the preparation is the regeneration, and
the more fully this is accomplished, the greater will the conacionsneaa
of love, peace, joy and illumination be ours.
The second point is; that after entering iuto the Divine curronta,
should anyone willfully or thoughtlessly return to those
of the world, they will b1·ing upon themselves the direst results

GOD 18 LOV.E.
This waa the verdict of the disciple John, of the prophets,
and-of all the higher order of mystics of all ages and nationalities;
yet, there are thou~nds of men and women who aaythere
is no such thing as love: notwithstanding, they have been
brought up with that thought impressed upon their minds. Nine
out of ~n of all young men and women have a deeply Jain
ideal of love; a dream of a state of heavenly bliM, which they
expect to realize in the sacred relation-the unity of man with
woman; but the pure in mind do not associate this heavenly
ideal with sex relation11.
Many young men have said to me;-l loved that woman
~ith a feeling of holine88; the idea of the sexual relation never
en~red into my .thought; she was too sacred to me for that.
The same is true of some women, when this true love ideal,
sprin~ up within them; but married life at once destroys it;
and as soon as it is shattered and scattered to the winds: the
wife settles down to the drudgery of caring for her children
and looking after the interests of home, too of ten in a condition
of disappointment and .misery. The young man, not realizing
'his ·ideal, seeks other interests: he plunges irito bu8ine88
and thinks be will find it in wealth, honor, or high position
among bis fellows. He soon becomes immersed in the material
interests of the world, and arrhres at the conclusion, that
the ideal which was active in his soul, was but the foolish dream
of young manhood.
At the present time, the majority of educatPd and wealtby ­
women, will not allow themselves to be bound down to the

among all cla88es, and especially the more wealthy, which ia
equal in extent to the conditions that exist in Japan; yet if one
member of their society is accused of being guilty of this, they
will condemn him anc,l shun him as if he were poison; thua condemning
in the most unmeasured terms the act.a of their own

strong; and that there is scarcely a healthy man or woman in
the civilized world.
Jesus truthfully said;-" A house divided against it.self cannot

place of the soul; but the worldly are divided against themselves
and consequently their houses are falling to pieces; and
in place of joy, happine88, peace and rest, they find nothing
but misery, disappointment, anxiety and sicknese.
Why is all this disorder and chaos in the world? God undoubtedly
created from hims~lf and we are now the sons of

aoon u we began teaching theee divine truths, the vulgar aod
evil minded judged of them by their own perverted deairee,
and the evil.a that existed in their own soula, and their habits
of life went publicly pl'OClaimed, as the result of these pore inatmction1.
Thia baa put up a barrier between thole who are
really seeking for divine order, and the meaDI of obtaining it.
Thousande are now beginning to talk about immortality of the
body, but none seem to have any idea of how to obtain it:
neither is it pot111ible to acquire, until the principles that have
gone forth through the 1£eoterfo publications, have been adopted

Until you u IODI of God; as intelligent men and women,
turn your backe upon the serpents Jie that began in Eden, and
oome out from among thoee who cling to that falsehood, and

The way to the kingdom of God, the eatablisbment of Eden

the falsebooda that are being circulated by the ignorant and
base about this nucleU1, around which angels gather; and over
which Holy Ones hold watchful care?
Such baa been the biatory of God's dealings with man from
the beginning. The Christ of Nazeretb, the moat perfect and
holy man that ever lived upon our planet, could gather around
him none but a few of the loweat clasa of his day,-fishermen.
He waa frequently arrested and brought before the Sanhedrim,
and waa finally oondemned and crucified; that being the most
disgraceful form of execution, man could undergo at that time.

With the earth in the Sign Canoer, and the Moon in Libra;
we primarily noto that hia basis ia that of a person extremely
sensitive pbyaioally; with a mentality of equal aenaitiveneaa.
and of a finely balanoed intuitive order. These united,
form the foundation of great auooeaa or failure. Like a growing
tree, much moat depend upon environment and culture;
whether the growth and f ruitage shall be acanty or abundant.
Many children born aa sensitive aa our subject, have pined and
died early, because the blasting elements of poor food, improper
nursing or neglect, prevailed in their childhood. Fortunatly,
Mr. Wanamaker aafely passed that period, and entered
upon bis life duties with a compact, well built body, and with
an intense longing to do what be could, in the best way, in the
world. And what does the Zodiacal Circle indicate would be
his JDost natural proclivity?
Firat:-Those born in the Sign Cancer, evermore reach out
in brooding power, to Maurnalize, in protective power in some
way, for home and homes. Heqoe, hia bands were &rat outreached
to push on the wheel barrow that contained his warea

words. it intenaified his virgin thoughts along lines of the
finest apprehensiona. aud final oomprehenaiona. It did not,
however, aid in the creation of a good stomach except when
iuduoed by harmonious companionship at meal time.
Third:-witb the Planet Saturn in the Sign Taurus, (lower

non11enaationl power.

It puta the foroefulneaa of the Bull under
the beat training. As we further contemplate our aubject•s
progreaa and present poeition in the world, we shall readily
underatand how important this has been and is to him.
Forth:-Great Jupiter, in the Sign Aquarius lends its might
in a dual way. Hie every nerve ie made strong and foll of an
ideal aeneitiveness to clearly apprehend whatever oomea about
him. Hie mentality ie remarkably quickened to onderatand
the people. When to this is added the faot that the planet
Venus was alao in this Sign, we can immediately aenae how
great would be hie desire to please the multitude, aa well aa
those in hie own bouaehold, in a unique and ideal way. Furthermore,
it would add the thought of harmoniousnesa through
art. moeio, and ornamentation, of which he would enjoy the
happy reflex.
Fifth:-Mara in the Sign Aries induces a virility of brain
power, and an ability to unite with Saturn in Taurue, already
alluded to, in producing a keen forcible and unusual mental
expre881on either verbally or in writing. In that aenae the Ram
and the Bull become conetant foroea to oarry him forward
aggreeaively into the world, and always along the line of ample
proviaion for the home. The faot that he became peraonally

demonstrat.es bow profoundly he bu act.eel upon the inherent
proclivity of the Cancer ho1ne-proteoting Sign.
Sixtb:-With Mercury in the aign Libra, combined with
the Moon in the same Sign, we find indeed that the Meuenger
of the Gods ia winged, and the balancing and propelling of
intuitive thought becomes immense and thereby immeasurable.
Oftentimea that balancing from the interior of hie being baa
become truly inspirational in utteraooe. because Mara in
Aries and Saturn in Taurua were especially oooperative to
that end.
Saventh:-The predominance of the Element of Air (four..:­
aee circle) show• that beyond the &re of energy, the solidity of
Eanh, and the assimilation of water, as element.a. he waa by
proclivity aspirational to an unusual degree, as he moved out
to do the work before him. At more distinctly emblematio of
spirit than any element. it baa clothed his whole nature with
an intensity of procedure along the higher lines of thought and
action. of which the world is happily cognizant. Thia endowment
comes through the Moon and Mercury in Libra, and
Jupiter and Venus in Aquarius, wberaby the intuitional forces
of the reins and the &ne and strong nerve foroes are united in
a rare oneness so, that in the true esoteric sense it may be said,
that during his calm and reflective momenta, he could realize
the truth of the expre118ion of the Psalmist; "My reins iDBtroot
me in the night season." So fully haYe bia intuitions guided
bis every movement, that to-day the immensity of his boiaineaa
is balanced only by the trade of two continent.a.

therein exemplified.
Ninth:-In the Tribal sense the eign Cancer illustratee
Zebulon, "dwelling-habitation"-of whom u the tenth 80n
of Jacob, hie mother Leah said: "God has endowed me with
a good dowry." When, in after daye, Jacob blessed each of
· bis twelve 80ns, he said:-"Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of
the sea, and he shall be for a haven of the ships and bis border
·shall be unto Zidon."
Mr.Wanamaker's history illustrate. Jacob's prayerfull bleaaing,
with all the tenderness of a woman, and all the heroism
born of a constant inftux of the Holy Spirit, he has extended
that blessing to millions of people in such a sense that hie
"haven of ships" hath become the centralizing of all thoee
material things that make home delightful; while his spiritual
outreachioga and upreacbioga have brought together the largest
aggregation of children in a sabbath school ever known in
America.
Thus baa our modern Zebulon proved a blessing of untold
valne unto our modern Israel, and sent forth the home-improving,
up-lifting thought 80 strongly, that its power touches almost
every hamlet in our broad laod.

RISDIG SIGN-~.
Your innate and riaing signs are both Taurus, which producea
great vitality, strong appetites and paaaiona.much mental and phyeical
endurance, and unusual capacity to learn and memorize and to retain
that which you have studied. The poeition of Saturn and V enua will
enable you to reach very distinguished results in the acienct11, in liter·
ary work, or in chemietry. The moon in Sagittariue makes you too
impulsive, somewhat reatle88, too quick to speak. thus making enemies,
and rather rash in a general way, which grea&tly hinder& your greater
auccelll'. Uranus in Capricorn pl'oduces love of the mystic and the
invieable, and if you should give youraelf to thought on theee line•
and to the regenerate life, you would soon be able to im1pire great
knowledge and power; what you most need, however, would be the
apirit of wisdom. Saturn in Gemini iwparta the ability to become a
ginius in any department of science toward which your mind may be
directed. Venus in Aries gives you love of art, elegance, beauty and
of the 111Sthetic. Your inclination is to faultl8118 dre88, and, in the ab·
aence of that, you would probably go to the other extreme and be
very carele88 in dreaa; peculiar circumatancea, however, would be
neceeeary to bring out this aide of your nature. You are e&llily inftu·
euced by &88ociatea, and herein lies your greatest danger of failure.
Mara in Libra unites ita influence with your polarity to make you
combative, impulsive and rash. but Mercury in that sign gives at1·ength
of body. If you live an orderly life, you should have good health
and longevity.

RISING SIGN-.
The earth wu in the fifth degree of Aries at the time of your
birth, which gives you youthful appearance, youthful thought and
much buoyancy of nature. The Moon in Aquarius opens you to
the influence of public opinion; it is a very harmonious polarity for
the Aries nature. The rising sign, Libra, has undoubtedly given you
a beautiful body,-probably tall and willowy, and graceful in its
movements. You have on the whole a very harmonious nature, ezcept
that Mare, in the body sign, makes yon a little combative and
rather quir.k tempered,-quick to take di1likea. Uranm in Capricorn
gives an inclination toward the mystic, and a desire to be peculiarly
your11elf. Saturn in Gemini probably makes you a little slow of
speech, but orderly and precise in whatever you say; imparts a love
of the sciences and of the higher branches of art. Jupiter in Scorpio
produces pride and considerable jealousy; indeed, this poeition becomes
your adversary in life, and unleu ita influence is carefully
watched and overcome, it ia destined to cause you much trouble, if
not much disappointment. Venue in your life, basic principle, gives
all its inherent qualities of ~legance, beauty and refinement to your
inner nature. Mercury in Leo makes you very democratic together
with your aristocratic tendencies, ancl unle88 you are very careful, you
will marry below your station of life. An infatuation with yon ia
equal to love, and you are in danger of being captivated by an Ull•
worthy companion.

H. E. BUTLER,
Dear Sir:-Your kind, very interesting, and instructive lettet
receiYed. Your description of my troubles together with Solar
Biology, so far as I understand it,iscertainlyverymuch in evi.
dence, in my case and there is no doubt of its accuracy. I
have for a long time felt there was something very wrong in
my make up. It is almost all plain to me now, but it seema
u though the light had come too late in life to be of much use
to me. Still, I am going to make a hard fight for it. Not for
the sake of living; but that I may accomplish something in
this life.
On receipt of your letter and Solar Biology, I left off meing
tobacco and sex indulgence. I have been trying for years to
overcome these habits; but this time feel as if I should meet
with suooea. I am also trying to unite my mind with God,
but on thia line, at the present time have met with no satisfaction.
It ia not for lack of desire, as my mind is full of the
feeling that it should have been done while in better health.
It looks like being forced into it, in place of doing it willingly.
Thanking you very much indeed for kind attention ahown
me, I am,
Youn very aincerely, ·
F. Ratcliff.

G•ntlemera:-l have had presented to me a copy of your-Solar
Biology, and the Seven Creative Principles; while I understand
the former I do not quite understand the latter, and if
you can offer any suggestions which will give me a clearer
comprehension of the book, I would greatly appreciate your
kindness.
I also wish to state that your delineation of my character,
given in the January number of The Occult and Biological
Journal, is, in the most important points very true. Your
methed of delineation is truly wonderful, and shows to what a
height mind can be developed.
I have read the characters of my friends from Solar Biology,
and in almost every instance the qualities attributed to their
various planetary positions accorded most perfectly with their
respective characteristics. I have found great consolation
in its reliability, and believe if it was adopted in schools, a
great many disappointments to young lives would be avoided,
and a better understanding between teacher and pupil would
be obtained.
I remain, with kind regards,
Respectfully yours,

Dear Sirs:-Some time ago I purchased a little book from
you, entitled,-Practioal Methods to Insure Succeu, which
cost me ten cents. Ever since the day I read it, the content&
have been in my mintl. and I am sure that all who follow
the instructions it contains, are bound to be elevated to a better
condition of life. I have not, until recently, had the opportunity
to follow the instructions aa fully aa I wished, being
away from ho10e the greater part of the time, but now, that I
am at home, I am going to put the methods into practice. If
I knew I could not get another copy of the little book, I would
not sell mine for less than ten dollars. I think the book well
worth ten dollare and therefore enclose Poet Office order for
that amount. I would thank you kindly, if yon will aeod me
two more copies of the booklet, u I wiah each member of my
family to have one. Wiabing you every auooeu in publishing
such good books, and trusting that you may be bleued with
long life to continue the good work, I remain your well wiahiDg

EDITORIAL.
Thia iuue of The Journal goee out under new management,
as the one who had charge of it, and did the literary editorial
work, felt called ttpon to go out into the world and begin a
work of teaching.
Now, that the entire responsibility baa been thrown upon me,
I have been led to turn my attention within, and to the source
of instructions and illumination received in the past. I have
been deeply impressed that the time has come for a more direct
and positive work, and I expect that the question asked
thousands of years ago:-·• Why do the heathen rage, and the
people imagine a vain thing?" will 800n be applicable; for
we have noticed in years past, that as 800n as we began to
write things that would stir the lives of the people; invisible
adversaries would spring up, that would try to hinder ua,
and if they failed, adversaries in human form began their
work among the people. However, we shall move forward fearlessly,
speaking those things thioh are given us by a higher intelligence.
We wish to oall special att.ention to the fint article in thi1

number, entitled,-The Purpose of God in the Creation of the
World.
The thoughts expreued in this article, and those that will
follow, are undoubtedly the most im}'Ortant that have ever
been written, because they lay a foundation for the mind of the
thiuker, which, if accepted aud carried out, must inevitably
lead to perfect order and harmony with the divine purpose:
placing the individual upon the path that lead.I directly to the
knowledge and consciousness of God.
We intend to publish more letters than we have in the past,
as we wish our people to have a voice in The Journal, knowing
that our readers are interested in what others are thinking
and doing, along the lines we are working. Tberef ore,
we trust that our friends will not hesitate to write us freely,
concerning their experiences and thoughts, in regard to all
matters ref erred to in this magazine.
It is understood, of course, that the editor muat bold the
right to discriminate as to what letters shall be published. As
previously announced, we shall publish all letters that we
deem useful to our readers, unless request is made to the
contrary.

SOLAR BIOLOGY
A NEW SclENTIFIC, ExACI', AND EASY METHOD OF DEIJNEATING CHARACTER; DUG­
NOBING DISEASE; D&TER:tllNUiG MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND BUSINESS QUAU·
FICATIONS, CoNJUGAL ADAPTABILITY, ETC., FBOK DATE OFBIRTB.
BY H. E. BUTLER.
Illustrated with Seven Plate t: lagrams and Tables of the Moon
and Planets, from 1820 t::> 1902.
This science proves that "all are members of One Body (I. Cor. XII. 12-27); ant
that, 88 such, each one has his peculiar function in life. It throws a llood of new
light upon the problems of life, furnishing the groundwork, or scientific law, which
goes down into the minutia! of the life of every man and woman, 111 a mirror rellecting
his or her innate nature. This work tells what is in man and how derived.
Tells bow to cultivate ael! and make the moat and best of life. Tells one, when a
child is born, what kind of training it should have, to what diseasel' it is liable,
how to avoid or how to cure when already developed. Reveals the part of the grand
... body to which each individual belongs, and the consequent mental tendencies,
. physical fitness, natural sphere, and highest and fittest use in the world.
It enables parents to know just what business their children are beat adapted
for, and how to educate them,.8Jld is also a guide in the preservation of health and
strength, and an imporU\nt aid to success and to the attainment of the great object
in life; viz., usefulneas and happiness. It also aids in prolonging the life of
old and young. It is of special importance to physcians, enabling them to attain
great success throughJiaving in their possession a certain key to knowledge concerning
the nature and peculiarities of their patients such 88 heretofore has been
available only to those few that were of rare intuitive discernment.
It is claimed that character is expressed in the countenance, that i~ shapes the
cranium, and is even written in the hand: but Solar Biology introduces the student
into the grand workshop of the Solar System, not only defining character and function,
but supplying the key to self-knowledge and harmonious human relatedness.
SOLAR BIOLOGY makes an elegant octavo volume of 500 pages, heavy paper,
clear type, with author's portrait and appropriate illustrations. Bound in superior
cloth, embellished with symbolic designs in gold. No elaborate study or preparation
is required to enable one to read character and otherwise apply the science.
The key to the use of the &cience will be found on page 274, and can be fully
mastered in a few minutes. Price $6.00.

ESOTtERIO EPHEMERIS
1901
ls now on aale. Because of its accuracy and from the fact that it gives data
not to be found elsewhere in print, this Ephemeris will prove an important aid to
students of Astrology and of Solar Biology.
The work contains complete data for finding the time of rising of Zodiacal Signs,
a Table having been specially computed showing Sidereal Time of Sign-Cusp Risings
for every degree of North Latitude from F.quator to 60° corrected for spheroidal
shape of the Earth, available, also, for aame degrees of South Latitude.
This Table will be useful for any future year, as its extreme change will probably
not exceed 5 seconds in a half century.
Greenwich Time is used thronghout,
which makes change to Standard Time inYoln even hours. The work contains
Special Tables for finding the time of rising of the signs at Boston, Ne\IV ~~~k~
Washington, Chicago, St. Paul, Denver, San Francisco, and London.
to easily construct similar Tablea for other pbces.
It tells how
Full explanations are given
for use of all the Tables, with especial reference to the needs of those not accustomed
to mathematical work.
Forty pages are devoted mainly to arithmetical operations
and interpolation methods which will place the student in command of
the mathematical work necessary in the study of Astral Science.
Explicit directions are given aa to proper use of Staudard Time.
The Ephemeris
proper gives the Heliocentric Longitude of each planet and Geocentric Longitude
of the Moon to minutes of arc for every day in the year; also Sidereal Time
of Greenwich Mean Noon for each day.
Gives exact time, to tenths of minute.,
of entrance of Moon and planets into each sign, corrected for Nutation, showing
in each case also the time it takes for light to come from planet to Earth.
This work baa original, genuine merit. In its mathematics, it follow• the latest
Astronomical Authorities. It contains the best exposition of Sidereal Time published
by any writer on occult science.
It ia by an Astronomer of Observatory
experience, who baa used the moat conacientious atd painstaking care in ita
preparation.
Every student in Astrology needs this Ephemeris for making correct predictiona
for the year.

Thia work teaches the most vital principles of Christian Life and Doctrine, and is especially

IT IS CALLED "THE NARROW WAY,"
beca118e to live in the world and not be of the world, but of the Spirit of God, is a narrow way
indeed; as Jesus said,
YE CANNOT, SERVE TWO MASTERS."
For thoee who will follow the instructions in this book, there is a realm of spiritual conscioUBneu

+ESO'rERlC EDUCATION+
Or the Unfoldment and Life of a· Hero.
Translated from the German of J. Kernning'a "Key to the Realm of Spirit."
The narrative of knight Geoffrey, subsequent to his esoteric training,
contains a report of the young hero's feats, sufficiently detailed to give a
clear idea of the way in which spiritual insight and powera work together to
make the prepared and purified man an invincible conqueror. Thus this
book may encourage mothers of deep thought and faith, like Lady Mathilda,
to give their sons also the education of heroes, making them instruments to
solve the problems of modern society, as there is no age without its oppor•
tunity and need for heroism. Cloth, postpaid, 50 cents.

THE llYBTIO BOUBDB.
Several yean ago I WU led to un·eetigate the matter of the
mystic 1011nda, u far u I could intelleotually, wi&h the boob
at my command. I then had great faith in their eftloae7, u a
mean1 of attuning the Tibratiooa of the phyaioal bod7 and
mind with the perfect harmoniea of the int.erior realm1 of the
univene. Of late I have given no 1peoial heed to them, u
they 1eem to pertain more especially to the payohio domain,
with no preaent value that I could appreoiate; however, for
thoee 1tanding with me u well u thoee further on in d•
velopment, they may haYe their 11181, by continuoualy though
almon imperoeptible inclining body and mind toward• perfect
adj11Stment with themaebee. There i1 nry little in

1tand their correlation with the true innrdn .. of things,

1ubject. perceive no 11peoial use to be served in presenting
them. While I belong to the latter class, I think it may prove
interesting, at least, to give a few considerations and quotations
upon the subject.
lo •'Letters That Have Helped Me," the writer atatell:­
"lt i11 a great advance that you hear the bells, which few
hear, and-evidenee that yon are where you can hear them; that
i1 a great deal indeed. Do not look for the voice of the bells,
bq~ reprd the ideaa which thea:eupon oome into the head. a_nd
apply to them the touch-atone of your own soul."
Here is a deaorip~i_on from "The Voice of_. the Silence."
"Before thou set'st thy foot upon the ladder's upper rung,
the ladder of the myetio ·10nod1, thou hast to hear the voice of
thy inner God,-the Higher Self,-in seven manners.
"The first is like the nightingale's sweet voice chanting a
aong of parting to its mate.
''The eecood comes as the sound of a silver cymbal of the
Dyania awakening the twinkling stars.
"The next is u the plaint melodious of the ooean-sprit.e imprisoned
in its shell.
"And this is followed by the chant of Vina (a 1tringed in·
1trument like a lute).
"The fifth like the sound of bamboo flute shrills in thine
ear.
"It changea next into a trumpet-blast.
"'.l'he last vibrates like the dull rumbling of a thundercloud.
"The seventh 1wallows all the other aouoda. They die, and
then are heard no more.
"When the 1il: are slain and at the Master's feet are laid,
then is the pupil merged into the ON&, becomes that ONE and
livee therein."
An old East.em Book baa a plaiuer description:-

"From practicing this, (an exercise in which the main ele·
ment is deep breathing and holding the breath in,) the disciple
begins to hear the mystic sounds (nadas).
"The first sound is like the hum of the honey intoxicat.ed bee;
next, that of a flute, then of a harp; ·art.er this, by gradual praotioe,
he hears the sounds of ringing bells, then sounds like roars
of thunder. When one fixes his full att.eotion on this sound,
being free from fear, he gets absorbtion, Oh my Beloved I
"When the mind of the Yogi is exceedingly engaged in this
sound, he forgets all extemal things, and is absorbed in this
sound.
"By this practice he conquers all the three qualites, and be..
iog free from all stat.es is absorbed in the ether of Iot.elligenoe."
From one point of view these sounds are great waves of harmony,
running through and permeating our Solar Syst.em and
the larger ayst.ems of which it forms a part, being, what is referred
to in .Ancient Philosophy, as the "Pythagorean Music of
of the Spheres." From another point of view they pertain to
the microcosm, and are parts of oor own finer organization.
In ••Light on the Path" is writt.en:-
••List.en to the song of life. Look for it, and listen to it,
first in your own heart.
••Store in your memory the melody you hear.
"Learn from it the leSBOn of harmony.
"Only fragments of the great song come to your ears while
yet you are but man. But if yon list.en to it, remember it
faithfully, so that none which has reaohed you is lost, and endeavor
to learn from it the meaning of the myst.ery which surrounds
you.
"Life itself has speech and is never silent, and its utt.eranoe.
is not, as you that are deaf may suppose, a cry: it is a song.
Learn from it that you are a part of the harmony; leam from
it to obey the laws of the harmony."
Different persona seem to hear them differently, judging by
their deacriptiona, and when a peraon has ear for the soond1
of the planes juat removed from the Earth Plane, it must be

hard to distinguish them always from 10me of the IOODdt produced
by the nried orden of beings and foroee on tboee plaoel.
They do not 10and Ule eame to the aame penon at di«eNDt
timee, bat vary with hie peychic eta'8 u effeoted by tlae ooemio
inftaenoee at work at the time.
In endeavoring to mentally intone a acrecl word or eent.enoe
in a oer&ain meuare and pitch, Ule belle will ooouionally
tab it up and peniat in repeating it in a di«erent pitch
and meuare, much to one'• annoyance; bat, I preeame in that
cue they eimply refteot oar own diaoordant etates. They eeem
to be relat.ed to the heart-beata: when the hearts action it
fluttering and irregular, Ule ringing it eimilarly affeoted.
The 10and referred t.o, u "the baaing of Ule honey into::d.
oated bee,'' 10ande ordinarily like the low chirping of a orickeL
When the att.ention it fixed upon it, however, it may be re-
10lved into two 10ande, ftnt a regular eilvery ticking like a
watch, only a liwe more distinct, and a 10nnd like Ule jingling
of minute eleigh belle, or the 10nnd produced by ehaking a
thin glue tllled with water and chopped ioe: what it probably
referred to in "The Voioe of Ule Silence," u, "the silver
cymbal of the Dyania awakening the twinkling et&n." All
the eounde have the metallic element in them.
It it hard to clietingaiah what they term the belle, and the
flute. They eeem to be the eame eonnd; when intermittent,
reeembling belle, and when oontinnoue, a ftate.
The deep 10and, deeoribed u thunder, it by far the mod
impreuive. When heard loudly, eepeoially for the flrst time,
it awakens a eenee of awe, u if one were it the preeenoe of a
majeetio being with unlimited power.
One writer ie under the impreeeion that one must make oonditione
to hear them, inch u removing to a diat&Doe from inhabited
regione, entering a cave, closing the ori6oee of the ean,
and eo forth; however, this is not, euential, u Uley may be
heard quite plainly in the eubarbe, even of large oitiee. The
early morning honn eeem to be the beet, in fact this ia the
only time that the thunder IOand oaa be beard diatinot17.

• NEW PBAOTIOAL METHODS •
(XI.)
We oloeed the last number of thia seriee with the admonition,
that the mind mast be so positively centered, that it will
not under any oironmstanoes, yield one iota to the intluenoe
of the old sex oonditions, which have kept the raoe down for
centuries.
You will find that whatever yon admit relative to sex, even
tacitly, in unguarded momenta, will remain with yon and find
expression in the sleep state; that is to say, it will, in the sleep
state, take the form of consenting to or permitting losa of the
seed. It is because of this fact that such a determined position
must be taken; especially by thoee of the negative or feminine
signs.
As soon as one can reject from his mentality all sympathy
with the sex relation, to an extent that they oould not,
under any conditions be tempted by the opposite &ex to devi.
ate from their purpoi;e, then, the danger of involuntary lou
will virtually be removed. Thia accomplished, nature will,
with keen rapidity, build within you according to that which
is active in yo1:1r nature,-yonr mentality; especially that
which oolonga to your loves and desires. Therefore, it beoomee
necessary at this point of your experience to turn back and
re.read this series of articles from the beginning, and institute
a thorough self examinati.>n, making sure that all yon Jove, all
yon desire in life, is really of the highest, noblest and beAt.
Everything that is high, noble and good; which will elevate
and benefit you in any way, is not injurious to others. If
yon allow selfi'lhness to be active in yourself, the conservation
of the seeJ will fertilize that quality, and cause it to grow to ·

416 Tu BIOLOGICAL JotJU.U..
such an extent, that it will eoon become a controlling and oon-
1equentl1 a destroying inflaence within you: likewise, will all
the virtuee be caused to increase.
How necesaary it is then, t.o see that eTery department of
your character is harmoniously deTeloped and the faults rooted
up; for, as weeds in the garden grow more rapidly than the
plants, 80 do vices in the human organism grow more rapidly
than the virtuea. This is true, because the creative forces, the
attributee of animal life are passing upwards, endeavoring to
enter and find expresaion through you, and becal18e there are
conatant suggestions from men and women on the lower plane of
life, which keep these thoughts active, causing the very attributee
you wish t.o subordinate, t.o grow abnormall1. But, as previously
1tated, we caonot afford t.o kill out or destroy anything
that is natural; it follow& there will remain active in your body
the qualities of the animal world: being neoeuary in a limited
degree, t.o give you aooeu t.o and control over the lower forces
in nature •
. Here is another point of great danger in human progresa
and delelopment; for unleu the mind is well biUanced, and
the law of use has been incorporated in the habits of your
life, 80 that you can make use of all things without allowing
anything t.o control you, you are in danger of going first, t.o one
extreme and then t.o the other, under the subtle inducement,
that you need experience. If you have sufficient development
t.o utilize these instructions, you have had the necessary experiences;-perhaps
in a former life,-whicb is enough.
Avoid going to the extreme of crushing out and destroying
essential feelings, appetites and the normal activity of the sex
function; or the other extreme of dwelling too much in the
appetites and passions, or the undae gratification of the aotiv­
.ities of the sex nature. Every feeling, pauion and desire must
at all times be aubordinate t.o the law of use; use in view
of the object you haTe eet before you. When I by these
Digitized by Google

activities moat be controlled by the law of nae, I wish yon to
understand, that, if yon retain all the vi~ tluid generated in
the body, nature will act without demanding that your mind be
drawn down and occupied with these activities. On the con.­
trary; if the sex nature springs into activity involuntarily, then
torn your mind toward God, in the spirit of loving devotion,
and remain in that attitude u long as that function is active.
Thia will shot out temptation and improper inclination for
self-gratification, and will increase the spiritual condition within
yon, in place of the animal. Yon will observe that the mind
must not only be well balanced, bot purified and centralized; yet,
we know that nothing that we can say at this point will protect
you against these great and most insidious dangers.
The law of the "survival of the fittest," governs the world and
will govern it for many centuries to come, so that the mentality of
those that are the best qualified, will be able to discriminate most
correctly on these subjects, and thus grow into the greatest degree
of harmony with nniveraal law; which of course, includes human
law,-aocial and national. Those who come into harmony with
these laws will perpetnat.e their existence to a great age, and will
enjoy advantages that we dare not even suggest, for they are
transcendently above anything that you now believe. On the
other hand, those who lay bold of these principles, and live this
life, purely for the purpose of gaining power over their fellow1,
riches for themselves, in short, for any selfish object, will soon
grow into such a monstrosity, that nature will rise up in condemnation
and destroy them; for it must be remembered, that
nature is the exprel'sion of the God of nature, the God of justice
that rules human life, and who will not allow monstrosities,
gigantic centers of evil, to long have an existence in the world.
Therefore, bear in mind that righteousneu, justice and eq11ity
are fundamental prerequisites for the aooomplishment of your
ideals.

At this point, ba'ring obtained oontrol over the oreaUYe life,
the au function, yoa are brought to where you maat make
ftnal deoiaion in regard to your fntare habit& Aa we have given
method1 for the development of oertain etleota in body and
mind, in our former instruotiont, we will not go into detail here;
but, will aimply oall your attention to a principle that ia u
universal u life, namely, purity; which means keen love, or
attraction for that whioh to your mind upreaeea purity, and
juat u keen and active a repulsion toward that whioh your
mind decides upon aa impure. Thia will lay within yon the
foundation for a olean body, a pure mind, and a tine, diacrim·
inative brain. Bear in mind, however, that in all ways that are
vital and uaeful there are by-paths. For instance, if you seek
purity of body and mind through discrimination, you are in
danger of making oompariaons and becoming egotistic, by setting
yourself above others, and isolating younelf in the world.
Remember, while you have a right to po88e88 aa great or even
greater, purity of body and mind than another, yet, you should
never look down upon or even belittle anyone; for purity ia
only relative to the qualities of the thing purified. Again, pnr·
ity means the abaence of inharmonious element& in any organism.
The natare of the serpent, in that sense, may be as pure,
if not more eo, than your own; but it is a serpent and belongs
to the reptilian realm of life, yet, there ia a certain degree of
that quality in and essential to yon; the serpent being the embodiment
of the peyohio principle. We might go through the
whole catalogue of animal life, and find in each animal and even
in~t, the embodiment of some quality that is common to ua.
In the creation, each element baa ita own proper 1pbere of
use.-aervioe-in the gigantic workshop of the Creative Mind.
We should recognise this u a fact, and in our mental discrimination
and desire for purity, we should remember tha• purity
in itt higheat, and truest tense, means everything· in its plaoe
and in the order of itt nae.

We would allO 1ugge1t that yoa may develop whateTer you
detire within younelf, by placing your mind on it and acting
u if you already poaaeued it. By continuing ia thit attitude
yoa will oauae to form within you, that which you desire, and
it will grow and develop and become a part of your nature.
Thia law is demonstrated by the athlete. In whatever direction
he wishes to develop 1nperior power, in that direction he
begin• to aot. He virtually aaamet the attitude of one who
poeeeeaea it, and keept acting u if he had poeaeuion, or Ul8I
that power u beet he oan, until he grows it within hilll88lf to
a 111perior degree.
Now, you who have lain hold and taken oontrul of the very
fountains of creation,-in the control of the aex nature; have
it within your power to grow whatever you will, within your­
Hlvee; but remember, whatever you grow through laying hold
of the fountain• of creative life will atay with you, will make
up your aelfhood; not only through a long life in thia preaent
body, bot it will form an active part in the aonl oonaoiomneu
through ita travels, even though it may have many inoarnationt.
It bu been aooepted by all the metaphyaioiana of the Orient,
that the tenacity of a thought in following the soul, depend•
upon the amount of vitality put into it. If thia is a law, you
who have taken control of creation by taking control of gener- .
ation, are enabled to put an alm08t infinite vitality in whatever
yon create; therefore, yon had better err by creating too
utreme goodness, righteoU1neu, love to othen and thoae attributes
that you know to be m08t productive of good, than
admit even that whioh would 1eem to you a proper portion of
thoae attributes of mind, which appear to be euential to your
life and proeperity.
ID the above we have placed in your handa the key to the
univene; use it u yoa will, and know of a certainty, that you
will reap a full reward of all your aott.

Yon will have, by application of these methods, taken hold
of the right band of the Creator, and commenced to guide
it according to your will If yon aet in motion forces, mental
states, that bring more eorrow and difficulty than joy
and sncceu to youraelf or io othen, you will reap an abundant
harvest of that misery and disorder in your own experiences.
On the other hand, if you liberate and set in motion
creative forces which produce the opposite conditions in the
world, you will also be partaken of the fullneu of their effect.
After duly considering the forgoing you will find yourself
in a position to properly deoide the ultimates of your existence.
Do you want to be a parent of a great and noble
raoe of men and women? If so, then you should give your
mind to acquiring knowledge of the laws governing human
life; fint. your domestic; aeoond, your BOCial; third, your busineu;
and fourth, your national life. These should be considered,
not only relative to your own individuality, but to the
body of humanity in general; because, if you want to be a race
progenitor, whatever principles you lay deep down in the foundation
of your own mentality and aootl structure, you will
transfer to your offspring as inherent qualities and fundamental
principles of their existence.
You have now taken up a method of life which means, that
you, as a thinking intelligence, must develop a capacity to
reject from your nature all errors due to early instructions,
that you may not perpetuate and entail them upon your children.
Thus you must walk in the path of Abraham, whom, we
are told, was called out from Ur of Chaldea, by the Spirit of
God, and was eeparated from the people, and kept for many
yean under the immediate guidance of heavenly int.elligencea,
as. was also Sarah, his wife; and not untill he had lived in that
apiritual atmosphere, and passed the age of one hundred yeara,
was he permitted to bring into existence his first-born. The
descendenta of hia offspring wete called the holy people, and
we, the Teutonic and Celtic races, according to the beat authority;

THE PURPOSE IN THE CREATION OF THE WORLD.
(II.)
The importance of this subject is apparent, when the grea•
mumber of divergent beliefs and theories now active in the
minds of the people, is taken int.o con11ideration. We have
long since adopted the following aa a criterion of life:-use
determines all qualities, whether good or evil; became, we have
discovered that everything that exists has a use, and u soon
as anything ceases t.o be of utility, it begins t.o die; as, under
similar circumstances the proceu of atrophy in our own organisms,
clearly demonstrates. The same holds good in any department
of nature, no matter what sphere it may occupy.
Every line of investigation that haa been systematically conducted
during the last thousand years, bas bad for its causative
purpose, the bringing into existence, knowledge of facts
necessary for the perfecting of the race. Man works wiser
than he knows, and modern science is an exemplification of this,
being a collection of facts, made by the most careful and thorough
investigators and students of nature; and though they work
from the materialistic or phenomenal side, they have recently
arrived at the conclusions, reached in the Hebrew scriptures
thousands of years ago. If intellectual men and women will
turn their attention t.o the study of nature in all its manifestations,
they will readily discover the fundamental truths that we
wish t.o present herein.
As we have eaid in the preceding article: this thought is
necessary in laying a foundation, upon which t.o build a structure
of knowledge; for we know, that if the foundation of a
house be faulty, the whole structure will be faulty; hence, the

whole trend of investigative thought has been directed by the
Cause Mind, t.c>ward establishing these basic prineiplea. We
should remember that mechani~ is only the application of the
law of form, for nae: our wat.ch keeps time simply, because its
form and structure is adapted t.c> that purpose; our typewrit.er
can write our letters, because its form is fitted for that purpose;
and so with every mechanical arrangement in the world. The
human mind organs might be called a divine mechanism for
thought forming and manif eating of consciousness; the character
of the form depending upon the beliefs of the individual.
We will here endeavor t.c> construct a form, which, if adopted
by any individual, will give their consciousness a principle
of truth.
In order that this underlying or fundamental truth may be
clearly undent.c>od, we will present it -without argumentaa
a atatement, in two ways:-
FIBST STATEMENT.
All nature gives evidence that it bad a beginning and is being
evolved t.c>ward a definite ultimate. That definite ultimate
implies; apeaking from a mental atandpoint; an object t.c> be
obtained. An object t.c> be obtained implies an int.ellectual aotion;
and aa all nature is working out a definite purpose, it
arguea that a conscious thinking intelligence i11 the cause of
all things. At this point, science and revelation meet in harmony.
The majority of scientists at the present time have come
to the conclusion, that, while nature seems t.c> be forming from
its own inherent powers, there is evidently a definite ultimate
in view; a working in unison towards a certain purpose. Again,
they recognize the fact that evolution, the development of all
thinga from the lower to the higher, is also a law in nature.
If we look out upon the world of mind, and contemplate the
continuation of growth and unfoldment of mental facultiea in
time t.c> come, in proportion t.c> what baa taken place in the put,

we can readily see that man'e deetiny ie to be like unto a god,
having powel'8 tnmsoendiog our highest imagination.
It is well known to thoee who have investigated human life,
that all pervenioo is self-deetructive; that there ie no perpetu
ity in anything but goodnese and righteousnese,-right doing.
Io the whole body of humanity working together for the good
of each one and each one for the good of all, and in the grow·
ing intelligence that ie eo manifest in the world, we can readily
eee that there are high and ennobling qualities that are oom·
ing to the front, to characterize the race; qualities and atiri·
hutee capable of bringing great enjoyment, and if properly developed,
will bring the race to a wondrone perfection. If evil
is self-destructiv~ and good immortal,-aod it reqniree but a
passing glance at history to prove thi!; then it follows that the
object of the creation of the world, and man upon it, was to
create a race of beioge that will sometime be most grand and
glorious.
SECOND STATEMENT.
We recognize God as an intelligent, creative mind force,
which decided npon a parpose, put it into form, and gave it
function or power to carry out and aooomplieh the thing designed.
'fhe word became the waters of the sea, and the earth:
it caused life to spring forth, knowledge to develop through
experience, and all life to be driven in a certain channel by a
desire for pleasure and self preservation, and a f ttar of pain
and death.
Life hae gone on in the process of evolution, until there
stands upon the earth to-day, a race of men and women capable
of undel'Btanding the original porpoee in the mind of God,
consequently, the lawe governing the creative work; capable of
laying hold upon these laws, because they are active in their
own bodies, and bringing them all into use for the aocom·
pliahment of the design in the mind of the Creator, thne

developing in themael qoes, through the light, life and power of the
Spirit; all the attribates, qualities and powers of their Father,
though in a lesa degree.
Through and by a knowledge of these laws and powers,
and the object that was in the Creative Mind, they
will bring into form, by a united effort, an organized body,
called in Revelation, the hundred and forty and four thousand,
which, by virtue of organization, will become as the body of
one man; because in the higher development, they will not only
know the thoughts of each other, but will feel each other's feelings,
think the common thoughts, and in short be the same· as
the many members of our owu bodies. It will be, simply, the
construction of an immense body capable of thinking thoughts
that the individual now can not even dream of; know knowledges
millions of times beyond the capacity of individual man,
thus becoming the manifestation of the God of the universe in
human form.
REVELATION.
Biblical revelation is replete with statements of, a di vine
purpoee; and revelation did not pass away with the prophets.
We are now in a time when illumination is eo general that it
becomes to the individual, a repetition of the revtilations of the
past. Such, at least, has been our own experience.
The very first chapter of the Bible, is referred to by St. John
by the introductory words of bis gospel : .. In the begiuuiug
waa the Word, and the Word was with God (Power), and the
Word was God (Power). All things were m!Ule by Him (or
It); and without Him (or It) was not anything made that was
made. In Him (It, the Logos, the Effectual Utterance) was
life; and the life was the light (intelligence, consciousne&R) of
men." This most comprehensive and suggelltive sta~ment,
John allied to Jt>sus the Christ, when he said: ••The word was
made flesh and dwelt among us," that is to say, the creative
word which went forth in the beginning to create a world and
Digitized by Google

people it, had its 6.rat mature manifestation in the Lord Chriat.
If we ask the question, why and to what did he refer when he
aaid : "In the beginning wu the Word," we have only to tom
to the first chapter of Genesis for the answer: "In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth. • • • • And
God said, Let there be • • • • : and it was ao." The
words "Let there be, and it was so" are repeated in every stage
of creation throughout the first chapter. The twenty-sixth
verse says: "Let us make man in our own image, after our likeneu:
and let them have dominion over the 6.sh of the sea, and
over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the
earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth." Here is the declared purpose or ultimat.e.
God is spirit, or mind; and if we atop a moment, and inquire
from our own experience as to what a word ia, we find that
words are formed out of the eubatance of our life;-ihey moat
have form or they would not be reoognizable; then they are
1ent out by the will. Herein reeidea the image of God in
man:-in his ability to form a thought and send it out with
power to do and accomplish, the same as did the Father.
We are told by this revelation, that, God in the beginning
formed a thought, and sent it out into apace to build a world,
and eventually to people it with men in his image, and like
him, po88888ing the dominion. The fint or moat perfect maofestation
of this wu in Jesm, the Chriet. Mystice of all ages.
have manifeeted a certain degree of thie image and likeneea,
which oonstitnted them masters. The how, of accomplishing
this purpose will be readily diaoovered in reading the bible
from Geneeis to Revelation. It will be found therein, that
from the period called the time of Adam, there wu a syetematio
leading and governing of that race toward a definite ultimate.
Adam was not the beginning of the human family, but the be­
&inning of a oovenant race; a race from which ahoold oome the

the fnllneaa of development, having dominion and power to
manifest the image and likeneaa of God. h will be seen, that,
from that period down to the time of Jeeus the Christ, there
wu one constant aeries of visitations and instructions on spiritual
subjects; that is to say, a special effort wu made on the
part of spiritual iotelligeooea, to keep the mind of that race of
people ever active in the direction of spiritttal things, and in
the paths of righteouneu,-right living. Laws were made
prohibiting Israel from intermarrying with other nations; thus
by keeping the race pure, and proper mental stat.ea active, development
was carried forward in the direonon designed in
the mind of the Creator.
The effect upon the development of that raoe, produced by
mental states, was suggested in the aoconnt of Jacob, who
peeled rods ao as to make them appear spotted and streaked,
and placed them in the watering troughs where the flocks came
to drink:; the oonaequenoe was, the flocks brought forth cattle
that were spotted and streaked, because these conditions were
kept active in the oonaoionsneaa of the cattle. This is only a
hint qf the law suggested above. Again, it is well known to
all st.ook-raiaera, that, in order to raise a higher quality of
atook, it is nece88&ry to select the most highly developed and
keep them separated from the others, so that there will be no
intermixing; otherwise, a higher quality could not be obtained.
For instance, horse raising for the race track baa become a
science; fifty years ago 2-35 or 2-40 was the beat record of trotters;
now, they have through years of careful breeding and
training, obtained ho1'888 that will go in much leaa time. This,
again, is a suggestion of what God has been doing with the human
family, and why a certain people were selected; in other words,
why Abraham was called out from Ur of the Chaldeans;
who were the highest developed and moat scientific people
in the world at that time; and was kept under the direct

Taz Pu&POSE IN THE CauTiolf OJ' THE WoBLD. 429
supervision of the Spirit until he reaohed the age of one hundred
years, when be produced hit first child; and why the
promises were eapecially directed to bit children and continued
to Israel, their offspring, who were called the chosen people;
from wbom,-acoording to the revelation given by the angel
to John; should come the first ripe frnit of the earth,-the hundred
and forty and four thousand of all the tribes or 80ns of
Israel. From this standpoint all idea of partiality or faToritism
is done away with, further than, as a wise stook-raia.r has his
choice, which he keeps pure, for the sake of a higher and more
perfect develpment.
The old maxim, "As above 80 below" is true, and man can
do nothing, only as he 1888 what the Father bas done. In other
words, as we discover the laws of nature, we can apply them
to serve our purposes. The laws that govern the loweat form
of life, and which have caused development to proceed from
the low state of the beginning of creation to the high state of
noble, spiritual manhood, are unchangeable, and will continue
active, until creation has fully aooomplisbed the object in the
mind of the Creator, when the word was formed and sent forth
on ita miSBion to gather form substance, and make a world
make itself; or to become the life and thought in all things,
which molds all things, and is the intelligence and conaoiou1-
neas in all life. This thought, then, sent forth in the beginning
of creation, had in it all the potency that it in nature; all
the life, consoiouaneas or thought, and all oreaturee are but
manifestations of that thought life which was sent from God.
When that thought life has aooomplished the object for which
it was sent forth, namely, the creation of man; a noe of men
and women, in God's image and like Him; then there will have
been gathered together a body of the first ripe fruit of the
earth, who will have power, like God, ''to take the kingdom and
the dominion under the whole heaven." Thna the first ripe

In oontemplating the Sign Leo, there ie no one word which
eo fully illustrates it, u, illumination. It is typllled by our
Great Solar Orb, whose aweep of power inoludea both light
and heat to our Earth, and the other planetary forcee which
belong to our System. Whoever, therefore, in humanity, ia
dominat.ed by this Sign, oomes within the eoope of illumination
ae to mental qualitiea. Thia, at its best, produoea Wiadom.
In-aemuch as .. through the heart pau all the fountains of life,"
it beoomee of exceeding interest to trace the progress and euooeaa
of those who are bom within thia Sign, when oombined
with the planetary forces incident thereto.
Among many distinguished Americans, we select Charla
A. Dana and Charlotte S. Caahman ae &tung representati vea
of that Sign, and illustrative of the male and female element.
Charles A. Dana was born in New Hampshire, Augaat 8,
1819. In aooordaoce with the Circle it will be seen that the
Earth was in the Sign Leo, and the Moon in Piaoea. Aooord.
ingly, it will nnt be not.eel that hia heart and hia feet formed the
basis of his career. The Lion and the Fishes made nobility
and restluaneu inherent. The Sun and Wat.er typified the
brilliancy and the variableneas of hie nature. The elements of
the Rainbow were all his own. Its aeven hues were emblem.

· THE B10LOG1cAL Joumu.L
The position of Mercury in Gemini, when combined with
Uranus in the aame Sign, caueed a dual outreaching for actual
knowledge, which. as the years went by; be would fain traumute
into Wiadom. How far be was able to do ao, let his
painstaking labours upon tbe American Cyclopedia attest.
The writer recalls moat vividly how in 1859 he called at the
oftice of the "New York Tribune," to see the distinguished
Horace Greely, aa one of our national characters, and was intensely
interested to note a young man oonferring with him, aa
aaaistaot, who proved to be Mr. Dana. What he then witnessed,
was the prelude line of activity which led to great ruults in
after time. The keen aggreaai ve natnre of our subject was
then being developed through the Aquarius air of Mr. Greely,
(born February 3, 1811). It fanned into continuous glow the
Leonie &re of Mr. Dana during fifteen years (1847-1862),
preparatory to his becoming the glowing luminary of the ••New
York Sun," which not only in name but in fact, from 1868 to
the present time, "ahinea for all."
Thia development of Mr. Dana from the Yankee boy to the
Peerless editor, renowned 10holar and statesman, is a striking
illustration of what the Leo nature nature can aooompliah:
when the emotions incident to this Sign are subservient to
knowledge, they become power.
It will be noted that the four elements of Fire, Earth, Air
and Water, found equal expression through him. He wu
four square elementally and dual in each of them, therein
balancing in a remarkable aenae bis entire nature.

486 THE BIOLOGICAL Joumu,L.
Charlotte S. Cushman was born July 23, 1816. As the Circle
ahowa, ahe comes within the dominion of the Sign Leo, with the
Moon iu Cancer. Being, howt1ver, but a few daya within Leo,
ahe partook 1mewhat of the characteristics of the Sign Canoer;
oonaequently, the Heart and Home were the two eJementa
that fortDed the basi11 of her career. The Lion and the Crab
aymbolized her foundations: most naturally, therefore, her
intense womanly uatnre ontreached for expresaion.
With Uranus in Gemini aud Saturn in Leo, there waa created
such an earnest desire for knowledge that would not only
aatiafy the head hut the heart also, that the world in a aenae,
became her family, and ahe would show it what her ideals
were. When a Leo woman has thus united Air and Fire into a
dual flame, there is created a Torch which lights the world:
ao, in those days when the drama needed ita Torchbearer to
to throw a clear light upon the scenes, she appeared in that
true womanly way, which the world always reapecta and honors.
This occurred when our Leo-Cancer heroine waa but nineteen
years of age.
Jupiter in the Sign Taurus waa a powerful factor in her individudization.
It caused her emotional nature to be enriched
with a keen aenae of what the occult meant, and the sensational
could do. An ideality rich and rare poaseeeed her, 10 that the
Bull united with the Lion and the Crab in the creation of a
Triune power of expression.
Mara in Pi8088 made her feet reatleaa and determined: one
foot trending toward the home, and the other toward the world;
and therein her nature was grounded and made sure of knowledge.
With her, aa with Mr. Dana; Venus in Capricorn wu
the seat of fine aspirations as to buainesa affairs, and the feminine
goat of her nature saw the attainable heighta, and never
oeaaed to attempt their creating.
Mercury was in the Sign Virgo, and so the messenger of the
Goda inclined her virgin nature into harmoniouaneaa of intuitive
thought, which became winged in flneneaa of expression.
With Venus in Capricorn, Jupiter in Taurut and Mercury

CHAS. A. DANA, A.ND CHARLOTTE S. Cu&HMAM. 487
in Virgo, there was formed an Earthly triplicity of unusual
power. It caused an immense ideality of desire u to the
world's uplifting, and to that end her heart and soul went
forth uoceasinglyl
Each of these great souls belonged in the tribal sense to that
of Joaeph, the first born of Rachel, the true Spiritual wife of
Jacob: hence, they were the children of Love:-Joseph wu
the eleventh son of Jacob; but it is to be remembered that
Diuab was the eleventh child. There is, therefore, iooorpor·
ated into Leo natures the male and female elementR; the male
having the interior feminine expression, and the female that
of the male.
To each may be applied the wonderful promise of .Jacob to
his son Joseph;-"Joaeph ia a fruitful bough, even a fruitful
bough by a well; whose brancl1es run over the wall." And to
both Mr. Dana and Min. Cushman may he applied those mem.
orable words of J ose11h uuto his brethren;-•• Fear not, for I
aw in the place of God." When Mr. Dana, at a crucial time,
in our country's history, reinforced Abraham Linooln as &a·
1i•tant 1ecretary of War, he was indeed a modern JOM1phl
~'hen Mi88. Cushman stood upon the stage as a pure exemplar
of dra111atio art, uplifting her hearers by the power of her true
purtrayal, she was indeed a Dinah.Joseph in the most 1uodern
aeuse!
In the world's history it bas al,.,ays been true, that the heroic
Leos in their unusual lives of duty toward those about them,
have been misjudged and often condemned. Their illuminating
power bas often dazzled rather than enlightened.
We can, therefore, oompreht1nd the wonderfully wi11e expreeaon
of Jacob regarding his eon Jose}'h, and now equally applioable
to our modern Josephs:-"The archera have sorely grieved
him and shot at him and hated him. But bis bow abode in
strength and the arms of hie hands were made strong by the
hands of the mighty God of Jaoob."

DELINEATION OF CHARACTER. 489
In giving the dates of birth of youraelf and wife, you aek:-"Could
we have been hf.tt.er mated?" we t.bink not. You were bom when the
earth waa in the maternal aign Cancer, which makes yon a careful
ruan; thoughtful of all the little things in life; it niakee you really the
mother of the family; while your wife ia restleu; a typical "Martha,"
troubled about many thingw. Your carefulneu and her' a work together,
inaamuch aa yours i• in one direction and ber·a in the other,
yet, harmonizing with each other. You were born in the bead of the
watery triplicity and 11he in the aening 1ign of the aame. Yon both
have the moon in the sign Taurus, therefore you are both led out in
~1e aame direction. Your wife's rising or body 11ign ia w1doubtedly
Taurus, while your's i11 Gemini, the normal expreuor of Taurus. Thua,
you aee, ahe furniahea the vitality, while you naturally expreu it. You
have plans and methods for making money; ahe, with her anxiety,
keeps it. You both have good intuitions, having Uranus in Virgo. At
the time of your wife's birth. the acientific planet Saturn, waa in the
aign Cancer;-your natal aign. At the time of your birth, Satnrn
waa in Taorus, which givee yon an orderly mind; Jupiter waa in Pi1-
ce11, your wife'a natal aign. While thi1 position would naturally lead
you to imruagine evil and pick flaw• in othen, your wife's nature
aeema to smooth down that rough point. The position of Mara may
create aome inhannony, yet in a way, it ia harmonioua. According
to geocentric astrology, .Man rules Aries and Scorpio: it waa in tbe
aian Aries at the time of your wife's birth and in Scorpio at the time
of yours. It produces in your nature quici' temper, irritability aud
combativeneu: in your wife, imagination of evil; ilome degree of jeal·
ou11y, and conaiderable combativenea.. Venue in Libra makee you a
pretty good judge of art, beauty and elegance. at the aame time it
carries the love strongly into the aex. Mercury in Aquarius ia good,
aa it atrengtheru1 your m1"ou1 ay11tem and somewhat hardens your
over aenaitive nature; it alao flta you for dealing with the people.
Venus and Mercury were both in the aign Taurus at the time of yoUI'
wife'• birth; thu1 ahe baa three planets 1ituated in Taurua, and Tau·
rua riair.g. Thia gives her great control over the aex lifv, conaequeDtly,
I have no doubt that 11he ia healthy and atrona. unleea her health bu
been injured by prolapau11, or aome diaeaae of that order.
May you be kept in divine harmony during the remainder of YOW'
1tay on earth.

ALCOTT, COLO.
EDITOR OF THE OCCULT AND 8101.0GICAL JOURNAL.
Dear Sir:-May I inquire as to the manner of revelation,
the way God and Christ will manifest themselves to the people
of this planet, during the coming day of Judgment of one
thousand years?
Will the character of individuals be read or delineat.ed
through the zodiacal signs under the guise of the blessings of
the twelve sons of Jacob? or, will God Rpeak directly tbrongh
the mouths of those sealed, according to Rev. Ill: 10-12, as he
did through the mouth of his son Jesus?
:Jns:-No; th" character.of individuals will not be read through the
zodiacal signs by the Spirit. On the spirit or cao!lle aide, qualitiee
1u·e rP-cognized and not pel'llOn11 or things. The zodiacal signs are instrumentalities
by which we, the sons of God, are made acquainted
with those qualities; but the Spirit knows them aa we know objecte
and things. We, however, are in the kinder-garten etage, and moat
learn from methods. As to God speaking directly through tbe mouths
of tho39 sealed; yes, He will, after they are sealed and become hi1
temple; bot th•y will speak according to the laws that God has set in
motion in the arrangemeut of the universe, and not according to caprice,
which 1eem1 to be the idea expre811ed in your letter.
We read in Rev. xx1, that the foundation stones of the spirtitual
kingdom are to be the twelve Apostles of the Christ, and
that each tribe will enter through these sacred doors. Will

those thus entering through the city of God be grant.eel location
agreeable to the bleHings of Jacob?
.Ans:-ln the twelve foundations represented by t.he twelve &post.lee,
in the verse quoted, will be found the twelve principles of the Christ
of God or of the sons of God, which Jesus came to manifest. Not that.
theee men as individuals are the only foundation, but. that. the 11piritual
truths which they received from the Christ. and thus embodied in
their lives, were the foundations upon which Israel or the twelve dotpartmenta
of human consciousnel8 must build, and through which the
son11 of Israel will enter into the 1piritual from the material world; for
the Israelites were, up to the time of Christ.. in the symbolism of
spirituality, 01·, &11 Paul aaid "under the Jaw," and Christ. came to
explaiu the meaning of these symbols, or, preferably; came to throw
light upon their 1ignification.
lo the selection of the members of the manchild of Rev. xu:
1-5; twelve thousand such tribes; Dan was left out and Manaases
chosen in his place: bow do you account for this change?
Is be to be the personal anti-Christ to rule over his people­
Israel-during the hour of tribulation; the time appoint.eel for
the cleansing of regathered Israel, in the house-kingdom..;
of Christ, the fountain spoken of in Zech. xm: 1? ls Dao the
eerpeot in the way, at the time of the restitution to the true ·
11piritual worship of God by the scattered Jews and lost sheep
of the honae of ,Jacob?
A11s:-Yes; there i1 no doubt that Dan in hi1 physical manif&t.a·
tion, 11·ill be "the serpent by the way, the adder in the path," the
anti-Christ of the incoming of divine order; but, as the cloeing of that
Lle!llling says: "I have waited for thy salvation, 0 Lord." Dan,~
Aqullrius, is the embodiment of the principle of nerve foree and j>ey~
chic power, which will be the common inheritance of all the twelvtp
tribe1 or qualitiee of people; and we believe there will be as much, if
not more, of that quality in the body of the man-child or one hundred
and forty-four thousand, as any othel'.
Do you think the Hermetic Science; Philosophy of the Rosicrucians;
Alchemy; Astrology; etc., will be taught to the people
as it is now ? 'Vhen one reads all the variety of priated

worka of this age, it ia aimply confounding, and one ia foreed
to aay,-what ahall man believe? la the kingdom teaching of
law and order oomiog from the repreaeutatives of the 'welve
authorities of the doors of the new world ? Teed, of Chicago;
Ruuel, of PL; Totten, of New Haven, Coon.; Paul Tyner. of
New York; Peter Davideon of Ga.; Mra. Eddy, and Catherine
H. Tbompaon of Boatou, and very many otben too aumeroua to
mention, many with whom you are undoubtedly acquainted;
all claim to be 6od aent. and no two agree. I undeniand that
where two or more are oongregated in the name of Jeana, there
He ia!
I aometimee wonder if 'heae teacbinga are not the parablee
of Satan coming parallel with thoae of Jeau11 the Christ. both,
• now to ~ unoove1'8d and l't'lvealed plllinly before the minds of
men, who are llet!king light and a way out of this carual wilderoeaa
of oonfuaion.
~nt:-Aa to the Occult Sciences to which you refer; theae are what
Jeana referred to when he aaid,-Matt. xiii, 62;-"Therefore, every
1eribe which ia instructed unto the kingdom of heaven, ia like unto
a 111&11 that ii a houeeholder, which bringeth forth out of hie trea~ure
thingit new and old." You aak: "What shall man believe?" He should
believe that wbioh appeals to hit highest undel'ltanding as truth, no
matter from what eouroe it may come. Jesus said: "Ye shall know
the truth," the spirit of truth that ahall lead you into all truth. If you
have not the spirit of truth, then we would adviae you, and all others,
who have it no\, to ob~n it; or, more plainly speaking; obtain an
euneat eoul desire, free from all predudicea and preconceived notiooa,
to know the truth that you may live it, do the will of God and come
into harmony with the divine purpoee. If this ia laid deep down in
the soul, then you will aee that whatever is ueeful in aiding you to
eome into more perfect harmony with the Divine purpoee ia truth, but
that which aenee no purpoee ia evil, and you want nothing to do with
h; thus the ueeful ia good; the non useful ia evil. What would you
think of a miner who went oat into the moontaina and finally rewrned,
eaying; what ia the me; I flnd all kinda of minerals and how
am I to know the gold from the oopper, brua. iron, etc.? Such ia

your position. The teachera whom you mention, and many others,
are bosil.v engaged hnnting out the treuures of put experience and
making them available to you: and all who have wisdom from God
will gather out of that maaa the pure gold of divine riches. You aay,
you sometimes wonder if theae teachings are not the parables of
Satan. Some of them undoubtedly are. Among all the elements of
the earth God hae made poisons aa well aa foods, but becau1e God
has created poi~ons, it doe• not follow that you should rutake of
them. Choose the good and reject tbe evil,
I gave the Journal to a 11eighbo1· of mine to read, and he
said that he desired something more 11imple, easiPr to grasp
and coU)prehend, like the following:-" Repent and be baptizeJ,
every one 0£ you .... £or the remillsion of sins." "He that
believeth on him is not condemned (not judged)." "I am the
light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in dark·
ness." "l am the door," "l am the way, the truth and the
li£e." "The eon of man oometh to seek and to eave that which
was lost," and "Whoso eateth my flesh and drinketh my
blood, hath eternal life."
Ans:-The answer of the friend to whom you gave a copy of the Journal
is like that of a man, who, when given a simple problem in addition,
said; why do you not give me something easy, such u an algebraical
or geometrical problem? The subjects to which he referred are
those about which the church baa been talking for centuries, but of
which they know ab1olut.ly nothin~ nor will they know anything
about them, until they tint learn the 1imple truths that are being
taught to the world through the Occult and Biological Journal, and
the advance thought magazines in general.
Admitting this to be the gospel of the Church age for the
past two-thousand years, is it ended, in your mind? and the
teaching of these new apostles of some autbority,-tbe truths
of the New Age?
Ans:-Y 011 1ay: "admitting this to be the Gospel of the Church, ek.:"
we do not admit it to be. The Gospel of the put two-thouaand
years, baa been a gospel devoid of knowledge, like that of the Hebrew
Digitized by Google

diapenaation; a gotpel of 1ymbol11, the meaning of which ita prieeta
knew 1carcely anything. The age of 1ymboli1m is now pa1t, and
the age of things symbolized, which was the true gospel of Christ, i1
now to be reali1ed.
Is this manner of scattering printed matter abroad Chri1t'1
instructions to the people, who now are seeking reforms and
redre11ses from the many kings?
.Aru:-In an11wer to this question we would uy,-yea.
If Christ oome11 face to face to bis brethren are not these
mysteriee ended ? .
.A 118:-When Christ comes face to face with hia brethren and they
know him, it will be because the my1terie11 are ended. The -Christ is
face to face with hie brethren now, but they know him not.
I sometimee wonder if this Occult teaching is not the work
of Jesus, and is emptyiog men for a refilling of the Nttt.0 Life
from God? I have no doubt but that your mind is also exercised
over these things .
.Ans;-This question seems to be well founded, for occult teachingt
serve to empty men of their treaaured trash; ignorant theorie1, by
causing them to think and gather treasure11 of truth.
Why is it that this oooult teaching is ao hidden that the
mind's eye fails to oomprebend the truth, as it is in Jeaus?
.Ana:-The 1tudy of occult teaching• leads to a comprehension of
the truths that were in J8IUI. If you cannot understand that which
is least, how can you understand that which is greater?
Of course I am well aware that the Jews failed to reoognize
God in the voice of J eaus: am I also 110 blinded?
Am:-Y ou ask, - "am I alBO 110 blinded?" evidently ao, if your
letter expre111e1 your mental 11tate. Take for your motto, for the next
year, the word11 of Jesus: "Ye ahall know the truth, and the truth
1hall make you free." It will free you from your blindne11 and ultimately
from the law of sin and death.
If these hidden my11teriee are not the truth as taught by the
Christ, why then are they taught as inspiration from God?
I 1ometimea believe these are the things Mose.t rejected, ohoos-

iog rather to bear the reproach of Israel before Egypt'a Emperor.
Ans:-You should bear in mind that Moses was first in1tructed in
the knowledge of the Egyptians; that is to say: he wa1 instructed in
all the art.a of their magical powera, occult doctrines, etc.; after which
he was ·called of God to be a savior to hia people, having through in·
1truction1 from God obtained a higher magic than the Egyptians poaaeased.
If he had not been instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians
and had additional inatructiona by the Spirit of God. he would
not have brought hi1 magic to bear in competition with the Egyptian
magicians; whereby he could demonstrate to them and the world that
1hould follow, that there wa1 a higher power than was known to the
occult phili>aophera of his time. But, mark you, be had to learn the
lea1er befo1·e he could obtain the greater •
• Jesua came to tell us of heavenly things, and if all this OO·
cult learning is merely of the earth, earthy, then it amounts to
nothing for the mind is to feed on apiritual food found in the
life blood of the ffesh of the son of God. God is the .. I Am"
of His own will, and all sons evidently partake of that wind.
Ana:-You aay-"If all this occult teaching is of the earth earthy,
etc." But is it? Do you know anything a})()ut what you say in re·
gard to feeding on the life of Ch1·i1t? 1£ you do, your mind would
be in order and you would have an understanding of the11e things.
You seem to be like many of the new thought people. who pick out
the ft!w errors in the translation of the scriptures and dwell upon
them. The one most commonly chosen is the statement, "I •m that
I am." It is a fact, that, where error begins to ripen and bring forth
aeetl, it barmoni:r.ea the mind with error. You should read a paw·
phlt!t entitled "The Everlasting Covenant," published by the Esoteric
Publi11hing Company.

volume, which were eelected to repreeent the twelve signs of
the sodiao, according to the peychic perception of our former
literary editor and busineu manager; afford a great variety
from which to ohooee. It ia oar desire to keep op the present
atandard of the magazine, and if pouible, to make it even better.
We have been very much encouraged with its progreu
during this volume. Oar aubecription liat ia continually increaaing,
and we have received 1881 notices for diaoontinuanoe
than ever daring the publication of The Esoteric. If the present
increue of the aubecription list continues, it will not ouly
relieve m of any financial embarraament, but the Journal will
IOOn become a leading magazine in America. We would like
to inoreaae its size, bot to do that neoesaitatea an inoreaae
of machinery in our printing oflioe, which we do not feel able
to afford at preaent. We ainoerely thank our many frieuda who
have worked 80 faithfully in introducing the magazine to new
readers, and we hope they will continue to do 80 and, that our
new aobaoribera will a1ao nee their inftoenoe to bring theae
important trntha to the attention of their friends and acqnaintanoea;
for it ia by peraonal infloenoe that the greateat good ia
aooompliahed.
Thirty yeara ago we diaoovered that the cause of the laok of
~nect knowledge and oonaequent powera and attainments,
waa not 80 muoh a want of knowledge in the world, aa a laok
of order of that knowledge. We have been atudying most zealously
to diaoover a point at which all may begin to think; an
epitomizing that would enable the mind to peroeive ata glanoe
a bird'• eye view of the whole landacape of causation, and to
atart at the proper plaoe and move forward in an orderly manner,
with comparatively little risk of being mialead by the
many bypaths of error. Thia point we know we have found,
but, there haa been an inviaible mental foroe that haa hindered
our putting it in form and placing it before the world in a way
that all could grasp it. We have suggested the ideas in some
of our public lectures, in .. The &ven Creative Principles", and

EDtrORI.A.L.
other writings, but in this number of the Journal in the article
entitled, The Purpose in the Creation of the World, we have
eucceeded, through a most unusual effort, in putting them into
form. This art.icle cost more vital energy then any we haTe
ever written, simply, because it is undoubtedly the most important
article now in print. We therefore expect that thoee who
read it will find, if they watch their feelings carefully, that it
bas a pecnliar ioftuence upon the mind. If there are invisible
adversaries about, and we know their are, they will be mani.
fested in some way while the reader is striving to grasp the
fullneaa of the thought. If the thought is fully grasped, it will
never be forgotten, bot will enter into and form a part of the
reader's oonscioosneH in the life here and after, and will gift
oolor to all their thoughts and to whatever they read; it will
become a measuring rod by which to determine truth aand error.
Doring the last few months we have lost a great many jonr·
nals through our subscribers changing their addresses and not
notifying us in time; the Journal being sent to their old addresees
and not reaching them, we were compelled to send duplicates.
After this, if addreases are changed and we are not notifted in
time, aud are obliged to eend two copies of the aame number,
we shall have to charge our subscribers for the extra number.
On the other hand, if we are notified of the change of addreu
in doe time, and it is plainly written 80 that there can be no
mistake, and the Journal is lost in the mail, aa soon as notified
of the fact, we will send another, without any extra charge.
Our subscribers should bear in mind that, in order for noticea
of change of address to reach us in time they should be here by
the first of the month, as we begin to print the wrappers about
that time, 80 everything may be ready for the magazine,
which ehonld leave our oftlce between the 10th and 15th, in
order to be in the hands of the trade and our eubecriben by
the 20th.

'50 TBE BIOLOGICAL Jomuu.L.
Probably, there never baa been a period in the history of the
world, certainly not in the history of America, in which ao
much money bu been donated to various educational and philanthropic
institutions, u at the present time. A large percentage
of thi1 money will never accomplish its object, and very
little, if any, of it is given to the new thought movements that
are now before the world. The men who during the last twenty-6
ve years have gathered such enormous amounts of wealth,
are thoee whose minds are more orderly and open to the Esoteric
thought,-if properly presented to them,-than any other
olass now io the world. They have demonstrated their superior
abilitie1 by their capacity to gather great wealth. U the
friends of this thought would carefully study how to bring it
before the minds of these men in a reasonable, practical way,
they wonld aoon realize that there is no movement before the
world that is really doing so much good for the people as the
Esoteric. For instance, the little pamphlet "Practical :Methods
to Insure Success,, is doing more lasting and wide-spread
philanthropic work for the real good of the people, than any
one instrumentality now in the world. This, our friends fully
realize, and if it could be brought to the attention of those who
have more money than they know what to do with, some of it
would be diverted toward the wider circulation of this important
literature. We know there are those among our subsorib.
era, and those interested in our thought, who could interest
sufficient capital to bring this literature before the world: as
it is, we are laboring here in a corner; just a few are giving
their lives for the benefit of the world, and are receiving from
the physical standpoint a scanty livelihood; barely the absolute
lieceasities of the body; and as every means by which this work
can be brought more generally before the public, demands extra
capital, and we have it not, there are, therefore, only a few
among the millions who are receiving of its advantages.
The responsibility of this rests upon every individual who is
acquainted with the teachings.

Bticause of its accnraey and from the fact that it gives data
not to be found elsewhere in print, this Ephemeris will prove an Important aid to
atudents of Astrology and of Solar Biology.
The work contains complete data for finding the time of rising of 1.odiaoal Signs,
a Tahle having been specially computed showing Sidereal Time of Sign..cuap Risings
for every degree of North Latitnde from Equator to 60° corrected for sph&­
roidal shape of the Earth, available, also, for same derr- of South Latitude.
Thia Table will be useful for any future year, as its extreme change will probably
not exceed 5 seconds in a half century. Greenwich Time is used throughout,
which makes change to Standard Time involve even hours. The work contains
Special Tablea for finding the time of rising of the signs at Boston, New York,
Washington, Chicago, St. Paul, Denver, San Francisco, and London,
to easily construct similar Tables for other places.
It tella how
Fall explanations are given
for use of all the Tabl011, with eapecial reference to the needs of those not accustomed
to mathematical work.
Forty pages are devoted mainly to arithmetical operations
and interpolation methods which will place the stndent In command of
the mathematical work necessary in the study of Astral Science.
Explicit directions are given as to proper use of Staudard Time.
The Ephem&­
ris proper gives the Heliocentric Longitude of each planet and Geocentric Longitude
of the :Moon to minutes of arc for every day in the year; also Sidereal Time
of Greenwich Mean Noon for each day.
Gives exact time, to tenths of minutes,
of entrance of Moon and planets into each sign, corrected for Nutation, showing
in each cue alao the time it takea for light to come from planet to Earth.
This work baa original, genuine merit. In its mathematics, it follows the latest
Astronomical Authorities. It contains the best exposition of Sidereal Time published
by any writer on occult science. It ia by an Astronomer of Obaervatory
experience, who baa used the moat conscientious and pain3taking care in Its
preparation.
Every student in Astrology needs this Ephemeris for making correct predictions
for the year.

Spirit Ocean: a ray from the Supreme Sun: a particle of the
Divine Being, encased in material coverings, and conjoined
with .Mind. What the object of human evolution is, no one oan

perhaps, to intelligences snch as ours, the mystery will forever
remain a mystery; an1l the acme of perfected evolution must
be reached, before the Divine purpose can be grasped in its
totality.
An ever progressive evolution; conscious unification with
the Godhead; the elevation and final purification of matter;
delights of sentient existence: these are the various feeble and

in the position of weak, helpless children, groping our way in
the darkneas, and not knowing where to turn our steps. Sages,
seers and mystics try to pierce the depth of supersensuous
life; they see endlesa phases of existence opening up to their
vision; and overpowered by the light of the life beyond, their
gaze is bedimmed, and their hearts burst forth into one universal
cry, "Thy will be done."
The whole problem of conditioned existence has, therefore,
to find its solution in the working of Divine .Jfaf!j, Lila, or
Will, call it what you like. .
Inscrutable are the ways of the Supreme Being; yet, the
plan and purpose of human life is none the less dimly perceived
and sensed from afar. The progreS1ive development so well
marked in the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdo018; the
dreams and yearnings of poets and philosophers; the incontrovertible
and accumulating t.estimony born to the existence of
higher forms of life; all reveal the infinite possibilities of the
Spirit, waiting for their unfoldment in harmonious co.operation
with the Law. The ultimate goal may be beyond the ken of
mortal vision; but the gradual raising of the individual spirit
through its sheaths or coverings of matter, with the dawning
hope of final unification with the Self of the Universe; has been
the ideal that bas, since the birthday of human thought, uniformly
stimulated and sustained the human race in its strttg·
g)es to uplift itllelf to the Divine.
The innermost core of almost all religions is whole and
sound: quarrel as we may over the outer shell. Alike in the
coarse fetichism of the savage, and in the refined pantheism of
the sage; the trend is upwards towards a higher ideal: the
Divine spark of a nobler thought shimmers within, ready to

burst forth into the most lovely radiance with the gaining of
experience, and the assimilation of knowledge.
In all ages and climes, a Divine Ideal has shone before men's
eyes, and from it men have drawn their spiritual life and nourishment.
The ways in which that ideal has been followed
and worshipped, have been various and perplexing; but they all
lead to the same goal, however devious the ways may be. Like
rivers seeking the bosom of the Mother Ocean; all our imperfect
endeavors to reach the Ideal, elevates the human soul and
finds its ultimate fruition,-the peaceful bosom of the boundleBS
ocean of Spirit.
Differences there certainly are; diverse must be the ways
and means to suit the ever varying needs of the individual
soul: but such distinctions resolve themselves into questions
aa to the degree of efficiency of particular systems and the
length of time required for the complete realization of human
aapiration11. For the attainment of perfection; the undeveloped
soul must wait ioons of experience and struggle, while
the advanced one accomplishes the purpose in a comparatively
short space of time.
Amidst the strife of tongues, and the clash of cults and
creeds, two broad paths are plainly discernible;-the Paths of
Pravritti, and Nforitte, i. e., the Paths of Renunciation and
Enjoyment. Each of these paths diverge into innumerable byways,
suited to the needs and capacities of men; but the main
idea is simple, clear, and definite to mark out the one path
from the other. The Path of Enjoyment is for the man of
small development, while that of Renunciation is trodden by
highly evolved souls. The former is for the many, the latter
is for the chosen few.

THE PURPOSE IN THE CREATION OF THE WORLD.
(III.)
In the preceding number we tried t.o show, not only that
there was a God who hiMl a purpose in the creation of the
world, and in the produc-tion of laws by which creation is carriecl
on in the ea1·tb, but also what those laws are in their relation
to the mental and vital coni1titution of the race, and of
all things.
We think, by a careful stndy of the foregoing article, all
will 11ee the necessity of applying methods in their lives
by which the req11irements of law may be met, and by which
the force of creative energy may be directed and utilized;
also, means by which man may leave the sphere of servitude
to creative laws and take hold of and become master
over them. It is because of these facts that our writings in
the past have abounded with metaphysical law and useful
methods.
The fact has been demonstrated,- I think beyond doubt,
to all fair minded stuclents,-that, men have lived in all
,. ages of the world, who have possessed certain degrees of
dominion over nature's laws, and that some of these persons
were comparatively ignorant of history, and from the standpoint
of what was considered education at their time. Again,
there is good and sufficient reason why in recent years, some
strange and heretofore unaccountable phenomena, have begun
to manifest themselves through the organisms of certain persons.
For instance, some years ago a young lady discovered
that she bad power over force, to such an extent, that, if she laid
her hand gently upon a table, she conld prevent the strongest

man lifting it; or, a large, heavy man would eit upon the
table and when ehe quietly placed her hand upon it, it would,
without apparent oauee, rise from the floor, lifting man and
all. Numerous other so.ealled freakeof nature have been manifested
from time to time during the last hundred years, and
especially during the last fifty years. The cause of this ie:
ftnt, that the race is reaching maturity; and second, that
through certain mental activities on the part of parents, chil·
dren have been produced whose normal qualities are such, that
they have control over certain laws that govern physical manifestation.
In the study of these wonderful truths, we are brought face
to face with a fact that contradicts the commonly accept.ed idea
that God ie a person, a great man ruling the world by caprice.
Thie is demonetrat.ed by the account in Genesis, where God
ea.id to Adam, after he had sinned: "Because thou hast hearkened
onto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree,
of whioh I commanded thee, saying, thou shalt ·not eat of it
. • . . . unto dust shalt thou return." Mark the
words "Because thou hast eaten of the tree . • . . ;" not
because I am angry with you and will sentence you to suffer
these evils; but, because thou hast done this, which implies, that,
he had set in motion laws that must inevitably bring re.suits.
Since man began to think, which was evidently at the time
accredited to the experiences in Eden, there have been those
who have applied laws and obtained the results thereof; for
God is Spirit, aud God creat.ed man a spiritual being, and
called him His son by virtue of his being Spirit, and bearing
the image of his Father; therefore, he bas only to comply with
the requirements of law to manifest his God-likeness.
Law cannot be tranegresaed without creating confusion in
the life of the tranegreBSOr. Even God has not or never will
transcend the law, for thereby he would be tranegreuing the

law of· bis own nature. Tnie it is, there are many lawa, and
each baa many spheres of action. Lawe that are acting ou one
plane are hardly reoogoizable a-. the same. when they are aotiog
upon a higher one; and all apparent miracles have been due
to the aettiug in moti•'n of cea·t&io laws upon a higher plane,
oauaing the higher phenomena to auper88de the lower. While
Jesus apparently performed miracles, and, in the estimation of
tboae ignorant of Divine Jaw, changed ita operation. yet, he only
oontrolled the leeaer forces by the greater. All men who have
obtained oertain power• over natural forces, have done 10 by
the power of the min(l and will; for the aooompli11hment of
which it was ueceuary for them to know the lawa: sometimes
they felt after and discovered them, at others, they were taught
oertain rules and methods, and worked according to them.
If it i1 a fact that God baa produced the world that lit98
1pread out before us, potent with vitality, which acts aooording
to certain mental conditions, and iuevitably produces oertain
reeulte; then, it follows, that in every in11tauce, if man applitlll

out of servitude to creative law,-evolutionary events,- into
the poitition designefl in the dedared purpose, which wu, to ·
"Make man in our i111;~ge, after our likeness, and let them
have dominion."
Thia deolared purpose, we have seen; was partially expre1-
aed in the character and life of the Lord Jesus, the Christ.
Wht>n I Ray, partially expressed, I only re-echo the thought
which Jesus expreued in speaking of John, when be said:
••Among those that are born of women, there is not a greater
prophet than John the Bapth~t;" this certainly included himltllf;
and he added "but be th&t is least in the kingdom of God
is greater than he." Again he said "Verily, verily I say
unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I Jq aha))
he do alao; and greater wm·ka than these shall he do; because
I go to my Father." Up to the present time, however, none
have doue greater things than did .Jeaua, but we know that
the E110teric atudt>uts who follow wholly, the teachings that
have heen and are being given will become members of that
grand body of one hundred and forty and four tbousl\nd, and
will do greater things than Jeana did, or any one elae, in the
history of the world.
Now, if you who study theAe articles, will do so earnestly
and devotionally; by devotionally I mean with an earnest,
loving desire to know the truth, that you may Jive in harmony
with it, the Spirit of Truth will flow into your conaciouane.a
and illuminate your mentality, enabling you to grasp u a
muter mind, the pat system of creative 1mergy; 11.nd when
you have grasped that system, and builded yourself in acoord-
1ume with it, moving with the purpo!M! of Lhe Creator; that i.
to say, in the direction of the Jaws governing spiritual exiatence;
then you will have dominion and will be able to do the
greater works that ,Jesus spoke of. You will be able to free
your body from the dominion of the law of sin and death, and
you wiJJ have that which Jesus mentioned, when be aaid: "I have
power to lay it (life) down, and I have power to take it again."

THE VISION OF GOD.
0 The silences of heann,
How they speak to me of God,
Now the veil in twain is riven
That concealed where He abode I
Yet its clouds were once around Him,
And I sought Him in despair,
And ne.-er there I found Him,
Till I brought Him with me there.
Not the optic gl1.111 revealed Him,
No mechanical device
Pierced the darkneu that concealed Him
With a vision more preciee ;
Only lowlineu can merit
That His secret He should tell ;
Only 11pirit seeth spirit,
And the heart that loveth well.
Never till His love hath found thee,
Shall the cloud and mitt depart ;
Vain to seek Him all around thee,
Till Re dwell within thy heart.
Not without thee, bot within thee,
MD11t the oracle be heard,
As He seeketh still to win thee,
And to guide thee by His word.
When I found Him in my boeom,
Then I found Him everywhere,
In the bod and in the blouom,
Jn the earth and in the air;
And He spake to me with cleameu
From the silent stan that say,
As ye find Him in Ria nearne111,
Ye shall find Him far away.

read in the scriptures that God said: "lt is not good that man
ahould be alone; I will make him a help meet as before him:"
so God formed the woman and gave her unto the man; and,
what God did was perfect. That implies a time when there
was a spirit guidance to illnminate and guide the intelligence
so that no mistakes were made in marriage; but, as man for
centuries past has descended into the external reaaoniog
mind, the selection of a partner for life has been almoet
like a lottery, and unless some way is found to guide the
intellect and aaaist the intuitions, it may oontinue so.
It is not generally known, but nevertheless, is a fact. that
the association of the sexes constitutes the chemistry of nature;
hence, the importance of using great care in chOOAing a oompanion.
We know that in material chemistry, certain chemicals
will combine and form another compound; sometimee the
compound formed is useful or wholesome; at other times it i11
poiaonous or explosive. The association of men and wowen form•
within their organisms a new compound. If you ai·e observant
of your feelings and meutal statea; and it is quite ne()Msary
that you should be, in order to govern yourself and guide
your intelligence aright; you will notice, when you meet certain
peraons. that they will leave a marked inftnenoe upon your oon-
1r.iouitness. which will last for hour11, and aometimes days. How
wuch more would this be the oue in the constant &Hociation of
a life companion. The mental states of that oompauion would
really become a part of your own mentality or chemically oom­
Line and form an entirely new mental state; therefore, the
questions we have previously referred to 11honld be carefully
answered in your own mind, namely; what do I want to be'!
what mental and physical atatea do I need in order to aooomplish
my object'! When you have answered theae queations,

that all.knowing intelligence takes full and complete po18e81ion
of your oon11Ciousne11s, or if you are fully and oompletely oonsciou1
of it; then, you would want no other guide in the seleotion
of a companion. U oder oertain conditions the mind of the
oppoaite sex entera into and givea direotion, to a great extent,
to that all-knowing mind; for, as we have said, that mind is the
Creator'&. Creation is carried on in the world and throughout
the universe in every dep1utmant of existence, by the inter.
blending of the male and female prinoiples, and because of
this, the two aexea 11tand as the creative power; and, aa soon aa
anyone opens in loving sympathy to the opposite sex, the life
or creative qualitiea of that one begins to ftow into the other
and oombinea chemically; orea ting a new oonaoiousneu; a new
form of thought, feeling, e1notion and desire; it opens the individual
to another quality of the uni veraal mind; and if the
individual is merely feeling after something and does not
know what, and is guided purely by his feelinr, be is u apt to
make a serious mistake in the selection of a oompanion for life,
aa be i1 to obtain the one that would bring the beat reaulta.
In the past it is only the few who have been fortunate
enough to obtain the right companion, and when they have
obtained the right one, their life bas been a suooea1. A
good illustration of this,-and many more may be discovered
by personal investigation; was the life of Napoleon; while he
wu unit.ad to Josephine, he carried the world before him, but
aa soon u he put her away and took another, his power left,
and he soon went down; Because of this law, a person
cannot be too ca1·eful, nor study too deeply into the chemistry
of mind and life, for if anyone takea these practiaal in1truction1
and carries them out, it will os-eate around them an aura whiob
will attract everyone, more or less; and especially is this true
of all desirable persons, so that any OM who lives thi1 life may

desirable. This course of life breaks down all the fenoes and
ovMcomes all obstacles in the way of rank, culture or position
in life.
All that is requisite to enable one to select from any rAnk
the most desirable companion, is a thorough knowledge of this
suhtle fo1·ce of which we are now speaking (and of conrae this
implies self-culture and development.) It is necessary, however,
that you use great caution in coming into mental touch
with the opposite sex, for, if you live the regenerate life, you
c!annot familiarly associate with them without attracting the
full force of their love or paAAion, or both, and inflicting injury
11po11 them which will react upon yourself. Again, care should
be 11!\ed to avoid that most powerful of all forces, the psychic,
life power, for ther.e will be developed in yourself, through this
course of chastity and potentiality of your own life, the strongest
attraction for the opposite sex that is possible for a person
to possess, and unle11S you have so 6.xed your mind that it
will absolutely govern every feeling, emotion and desire, so
that you will always act wisely; you will, before you have
really obtained any thing like the qualifications requisite for a
married state, he canj?ht in the whirlpool of psychic love and
bound down in servitude to the mere passion life. You must
keep in view the fact that yo11 have started on a plan of life iu
which mind is master and king; and if mind is king, passions,
feelings, de11ires and all other mentalities 011tRide of your own,
must he subordinate to yo11 in so far as they relate to your
own course of action.
Do not pass this thought over lightly; take it and think
about it; it means a great deal; it means more than you can
realize until yon have carefully studied it for days, perhaps .

In order that yo11r mind may he a wise and powerful

and careful examin11.tion of the lawa governing life and
mind. All that we can do, is to tell you where to direct
your search, and you must do the rest. Remember, your search
for the cause of mind, in relation to yourself, its strength,
weakness and qualities, and the cause of sensation, should be
in a general way, in the creative currents of life; and in a
special way, in a most careful observation of the thoughts,
feelings and consciousness produced by the emanations of other
minds. It was a great and mighty work to conquer the waaU,
of the life, but it was nothing compared with the ability requisite
to wisely use and direct that life which you have stored.
Your will must be stronger than steel; more inflexible than
the hardest flint, and your intelligence must be kept keen and
bright as the sun light; which, by the way, is not difficult for
one who is conserving all the life generated in the body. The
real difficulty arises in the hunger of the life currents within
you for the life produced by the opposite sex. This desire is the
most powerful principle in all nature, with the exception of a well
poised and centralized mind and will, which have had long culture
and training; and even then, as a stream cannot rise higher
than its source, such a mind and will cannot rise higher than
their source, which is love.
Love is the all overmastering power, - God is love -
therefore, that being the causative principle in all nature,
avoid the neceSRity of grappling with it, steer your course
clear of it, until your cool, quiet intelligence is satisfied,
that, in connection with the organism which stirs the deepest
and holiest love emotion in you, there is no poison lurking; no
blighting influence; but, on the contrary, that it is a storehouse
filled with all the qualities you most desire; then, and not until
then, allow yourself to be swept into that wonderful ocean of
love.

or inharmonioua with your o"n objects, but contributes in
all h1 bearings and tendencies in aiding you to aooompliab
your object in every department of your life; then you may
reuonably conclude, that, when you are launched upon the
great ocean lying within, u a great fountain, you will obtain
all that you desire. However, when you begin to touch the
phyohio and love life of the opposite sex, your intuitions will
be disturbed and an intuitional mentality all ita own will be
produced; in other words, the mind qualities of the opposite
sex may and will, if you are not mentally unmovable, enter into
you and form yoar feelings, emotions and intuitioDB, and, aa it
were, ttand between you and God; therefore, you need 1ome
mean1 whereby you may 10ientifioally guide the intellect and
your oonolntiona. Thia 10ientifio method is now before the
publio; which we will explain more fully in our next.
"Joy it love exalted,
Peace ia love in repose,
Long suffering is love enduring,
Gentleneee is love in aociety,
Goodness is love in action,

IMMORTALITY.
One of the leading thinkers of the world says, "Immortality
in the flesh is at the top of ..U subject.a under diecU88ion to.day,
and it is going to lead the world of thought for the next thirty
years, after which no soul will doubt it, because it will be an
accomplished thing." A. P. Barton, editor of "The Life."
said recently, '"Every day brings us a new paper along the
New Thought lines: a No. 1, Vol. I. It does seem that everybody
who get.I\ an inkling of the snbject. becomes effected at
once with on itching for journalism, and a belief that a call
has been sent them to publish a paper. What the end is to be~
remains to be seen; yet, the end is in plain view. "Every valley
sh..U be filled and every mountain and hill shall be brought
low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough
way shall be made smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation
of God." Mortality will put on immortality:-then shall be
brought to p&88 the saying that is written,-"Death ia swallowed
up in victory." It is a part of the mi88ion of Jesus the
Christ to save men's lives. The Apostle says, "He hath abolished
death, and hath brought life and immortality to light
through the gospel."
There has been a veil of unbelief spread over all nationa,
which is being removed, and multitudes are beginning to see
that death is to be conquered, overcome by living men and
women who will not be unclothed but clothed. The creature
itself will also be delivered from the bondage of corruption
into the glorious liberty of the children of God: "for the law
of the spirit of life in Christ hatb macle us free from the law
of sin and death." Jesus said "l am the resurrection and the
life." "He that believeth on me though he were dead yet shall
he live; and he that Ii veth and believeth on me shall never die."
Mary Frame Selby.

KARMA.
We have hesitated some time in writing anything further on
this subject; but, at the queetionioga of our friends indicate
that we have not been underatood, we will try once more to
make our position plain.
We have frequently quoted the words of Buddha on thia
subject: "I forbid you, 0 uhiluhus, to employ any spells or
1upplioation1, for they are ueelt!88, sinoe the law of karma
governs all things." These words have laid the foundation in
the miuds of the Orientalista for the various beliefs on this
auLject. We referred to these words in an a1·ticle in a preceding
number of the Journal, as being the inatrument that baa
heltl down the sons of India, and which baa greatly effected tbcs
Chinese.
Many argue, because the acts of a former life may be
t,'Ompenaated for in the present one, therefore, they must work
out the reaulta of wrong deeds of a. previous incarnation, no matter
what the oonsequences ma.y be to them; a.ud if they restrain
the passions or appetites, that, they a.1·e simply storing up karma
fo1· another incarnation; that thoae appetites, if reatraina.l, are
dammed up, a.a water is dammed up, which will come forth
with double force in another life; therefo1·e, it is enevitable,­
in their winds - that whatever dispoRitiou they have toward
evil must he worked out by tloiug it until they become satiated,
aiul the desire for it p&ll888 away.
The beliefs in this dii·ectioo are so varied and numerous that
we are unable to give anything like a correct idea of their
aoope and influence. One idea that seemR to be common among
tboee that believe in karma, is, that, in so far as their former
life was evil, the result of that evil doing muat inevitably

· whatever they may be, befon they oan be freed from the result.
of the aota of a former inoarnation. Many ~ven go so far u to
aooelerate those conditions, in ~rder that they may more quickly
work out their karma. Among Theosophists,-so called,-of
our own oountry, there are thoee who do not believe in aiding
auother in time of suffering, because they are working out
their karma, and to help another in diatre88 is adding karma
to their own life and hindering the other from working out
theirs.
These are only suggestions of the many evils that have been
wrought by a misunderstanding of what karma really meana.
That there is a phase of truth in the basic principles of what
ia called karma, there is no doubt, but the truth li9!1 in an entirely
different diteotion from the one they suppose. When
we are asked,- do you believe in karma? we answer, yea, but
·not in the way it is believed by the Orientalist&. When we
are asked,-do you bttlieve that we have to suffer the oonaequences
of every deed, either in this life or in another? we aay
yes, but we do not believe in a God of oaprice, but in a God
of law; that is to say,-the Creator of the universe, areated it
by law, and everything works by cause and effect; nothing by
mere chance or an afterthought. Karma in reality means aimply
this: you have in this life certain inclinations, appetites
and paasions which you have no desire to restrain; perhape the
customs of the people among whom you live admit those indulgences
aa normal and perfectly legitimate, therefore, you
have no impulse to restrain them. When you pass out of thia
body, you have built a structure of beliefs, desires and habits
which makes up your real character, your real selfbood, the
consoious individual. When the time comes for your reinoarnation,
you are drawn to a oouple who are about to beoome

470 TrrE Br01.001cAr. .J OURN A 1.
a father and mother, simply, because their loves, sympathies
and desires are in harmony with your inclinations and
desires. You are drawn to them for the aame reason that you
would be drawn to them in the earthy body; the difference
being, now that you have no longer an earthy body, the reasoning
mind is no longer active, and you are governed only by
the law of attraction; like attracting like; your soul broods
over and enters into their consciousness during conception, and
when the child is born, the soul enters with ita first breath and
becomes the normal ego of the child. The soul had already
given form and character to the childs body, so that when it
enters in, in its fulness, thti body suits its real nature. Now
that the soul baa a new body, it begins just where it left off in
the former life, to build anew or tear down the old, according
to forcing circumstances, education and consequent inclinatons;
the former life giving color to the thought, direction to
the desires and bias to the mentality. You begin to act according
to your desires and reap the rewards of these actions; the11e

We orten hear people say, I do the best I know: if that
be true, they are overcoming, living out former karma,
and are building within themselves a love and consequent
attraction for doing good. We hear others say, well, I
don't do the best I know how: they are bringing upon themselves
suffering in their present life, hut in so far as they are
gathering knowledge concerning the laws producing evil result•,
that far they are building for a better incarnation.
Again, it is generally believed that the astral in8uences act
upon our surroundings and cause evil to come upon us, independent
of our volition, simply, because of the evil acts of a
former life. This, however, is not true, for evils that oome
upon us independent of our volition, may come upon a whole
congregation of people; such as the burning of a city or the
sinking of a ship, wherein a great number of people are involved.
Th·e previous life has no effect upon this life beyond
producing the nature of the individual, which causes him to
eelect the conditions and position of life into which he enters.
The influence of the zodil\C and the heavenly bodies, as they
move through it, create certain mind quAlities and forces which
act upon all life; And because of the great variety of mind
formation in the different organic strnctures, it will act upon
no two peraons alike, and therefore will lead no two persons or
even animals to the same result.
·The world of humanity, under the influence of the aatral,
is like an immense workshop filled with a great variety
of machines, which are all driven by one engine; notwithstanding
that one power moves them all, every machine
moves in a different manner and in keeping with its struct.
ore. So it is with the greater variety of machinery, in
human and all animate life; one power runs everything, hut,
each one acts differently, because of different structure and
chemical qualities. Every man ha limitations, and those limitations
are by virtue of form, qualities, etc.; just as it is with

ordinary machinery; one machine will do a great variety of
work; another, baa leaa variety of nsefulneaa. Man is limited
by his capacity, which governs bis sympathies and desires. No
man can have a desire to do or be that for which be baa uot
the qualitiea in himself to do or be. The flab can have no desire
to get ont of the water and live on dry land, but it baa a
natural horror of getting out of the water. The cat oan have
no desire to live in the water, but naturally abhors it. If you
were to ask some one the cause of this, the ADSwer would probably
be. that. it waa because of their nature. While this may
be to some. an indefinite answer, yet. when we take into oon·
sideration the governing law of the universe. we find that it
is u definite an answer aa it is possible to give. because of the
law. Therefore. in so far as you can obtain the desire for self
oultnre, refinement. right living, etc., to that extent it is possible
for yon to grow those qualities in yourself; and it is
also possible t.o oruah out and irradioate from your organism
all inclinations of an opposite nature.
Because the Occidental or so called Christian nations have
ignored the idea of being hound by what they did in a former
life, and have held to the doctrine, that, man can be whatever
he wills to be, and that the man who does evil is responsible
for it and should be punished: these nation• have moved for.

the idea of karma, and have settled down to work out. as they
eay, their karmic conditions, are gradnally but surely degenerating.
It is because of tbia that India is to.day mourning over
her lost glory of thousand• of yea.rs ago, and is in her deplo~

that the time bas come for wan to aot from knowledge, and
not becauee of evolutionary forcing oircumetancee, it ie right
and our duty to inquire as to the cau11e of our limitatione,
which, we repeat, is eimply what we are. We are what we are,
or, 88 eome of the eo-called new thought people have it; .. I am

and meaue, simply, that you are what you are, and cannot be
anything elee; but being what you are, you have two qualitiee
active within you by virtue of evolution and involution: tbe tend·
ency of the former is aitpiration to that next above you; the tendency
of the latter ie degeneration toward that which is next
below you. ..Choose ye thie day whom ye will eerve," eaid an
ancient teacher; that ie, chooee now which of theee you will
follow. Every pereon is capable of bending all their energiea
toward the development of the higher and the auppreesion of
the lower; the euppresaion of the resulte of their karma; for,
if evolution ie a law, then the preeent life begins where the
former left off, and muat of neceHity be a higher order of life
than the former. Therefore, if you live in the higher iuclinaatiooe
and euppreu the lower, you free youl'8elf from a former
karma and build new karmic conditione.
We believe that the race baa come t.o the end of a cyole, and
that, there are multitudee of men and women who are able, by
virtue of a high development, to overcome all the lower tendenciea
due to a former incarnation, and to build within themaelvee
a condition that will bring freedom from karma, through
an immortal or perpetual oonaciousneu, which will not neoeaaitate
another incarnation, at leaet for a long period. Then,
let it be underetood, that karma, the reeult of a previoue life,

not have committed or spoken had he been poeseseed with intuitional

When in the order of unfoldment man begins to ._rt dominion by the power
of will, directed by universal love and bigh desire, he finds hi11111elf growing ma&­

formalated and unitized, prodace a corresponding concrete and orderly atrueture,
-the physical body.
After the eleven qaalitiea of the miad and body, conforming to aa many signs
in the 7..odiac, have each oome under the control of the will, and the individual
oomH into i-aaion of new and &11 yet aaorgaoized powers; it becomes the work of
the twelfth-Virgo, the diacriroin .. tor and organizer of these forces, to direct and
control them: to discreetly draw upon and utilize the good in all knowledge and
thought; and by rejecting at the BAtne time, all that is evil and useless, solve the
paradox of Time and Death; by elimioatfog the fahe thought and consequent life,
which made them po111ible, and opening the sonl to the revivifying currents of the
higher existence. Thia ia the '"Gordian Knot" for Virgo to sever, ere the "last
enemy" is overcome.
The reason for bodily decay ia found in the downward and outward conree of
the elements of life. Those who are living the l!e-generate life have reveraed
the life currents from their downward coarse, and turned them upward into lifre-generation.
Thia is what the Master referred to when he said, "If any man
keep this saying, out of his belly sh..U flow (upward) rivers of life." When,
therefore, we have reversed the cnrrents, we have the power by virtue of Virgo,
to diapel forever that delusion called Time, when Death shall be no more.
Life is. Time is not, and never shall be (in the new life). Time and Death are
one. Death is the unnatural but logical outcome of an imaginary limit called
Time. Ignore Time, and you banish Death. On the other hand, remove Death,
and where is 1ime? Time iA only possihle when death holds away. Therefore,
Time and Death are but different manifestations of one and the same thing,-the
outcome of man's thought in a life of generation. Time is relative, and is peculiar
to all things earthy and unreal: the self impoeed and nnjnat limit plAoed by
man upon possibilities unmeasured and unbounded.
It was said by Jerns that we should take no thought for the morrow: meaning
that we should have no anxiety; that we should l"l!Cognize no future, no time,­
bnt dwell in the power of the eternal NOW. For, it is thus, in the stillneaa of the
soul, that the forces within &I'll held in abeyaul'e, and massed as it were, upon a
given point: tbua the quality of Virgo, deep down in the silence and center,
resolvee the halucination-1ime, to its seeming unit-the instant, when, "to him
that hath shall be given;" when the little within, by the law of correspondence,
becomes joined to the whole:-when the life in the body, held by the will, cannot
longer be swept backward and downward by the "under tow" of life, bat eatabli11hea
the order and increases the vihratinn of its own life currents, and marshalls
them onward in rythmic unison with the calm, deep sweep of ETBRNAL IJOCBNSITY.
lo defining the office of the Virgo function, it ahonld be suggested that the
conquest of death is not th~ one and only thing to be achieved, but an incident,
merely, in the higher life, and the severing of the last earth tie which witholda
the fulneM of the !daster's promise,-" But seek ye first the kingdom of God and

The declaration of the Heavens regarding the sign Virgo
is clear and unmistakable. Itstands as the Intuitive Discriminator
in its correlation to other signs. Powerful in its po•·
itiveneas in the Starry Realm, it is the Virgin Queen whose
away is through love in its primeval purity, with Venua evermore
as the choice of her court. Therefore, when we apply
its attributes to humanity, we are at once led into a field of
absorbing interest.
As one, who, in varioua phaeee of human life illuatrated thia
sign, we select Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, born August

Referring to the Zodiaoal Circle, we ftod that at hi1 birth
the Earth was in the 1ign Virgo, and the Moon in Aries, oonaeqnently,
his basic qualitiea were educed from what Virgo
and Aries typified. The Earthy oharact.eriatios of Virgo
formed, both bodily and metaphysically, the corner-atone of
hie oareer. He wc>uld inevitably, be ftoe in physical and intoiti
ve texture,-a genuine child of nature, and a quick diaoerner
of all her moods and t.enaes. He would comprehend the Earth
in all ita vari~ fruitfulneaa for mankind, most readily, whether
it were for 101t.enance in eating and drinking, or coring pby ..
ical ailments.
His polarity in Aries enabled his brain to be aa keen and
active in expreuion aa he was clear and strong in apprehen1ion:
unitedly, they pla-Oec.l him upon a pedestal of unll8oal stability.
wherein firmneaa of purpose, and a keen desire for order and
harmony, as well u a lively aenae of the ridiculooa, were ever

thia inner feeling, u applied to himself, wu voiced in bia poem

Our ripeat fruit we never reach;

their higher nature and aapirations, but to which the7 wen
unable to give expression, ia found in theae linee:-

What endleaa melodiee were poured,
Aa aad aa earth, as sweet u heaven I"
With Saturn in Gemini u oombined with the Moon in
Ariea and U ranu1 in Taurus, we find a very wonderful
endowment. The apiritual planet here did an ineetimable
work. It caused him to outreach with great earne1tneu
for knowledge of the most scientific character, opening the

in11pirational current&, as well, whereby hi11 attainments became
rich unto himself and the world. His aspirations were intensified,
and being in the sign of expression for the Intellectual
Trinity, he was able to send forth to the world, in a fearless
way, what had beoome a part of his own nature.
When we next note that .Jupiter, the largest of the Planet.a,
was in Libra, we are at once impressed with the grandeur of
this bestowal. To a person of his intellectual tendencieR, this
position of Japiter in the 11ign of the Balances, and the very
seat of the intuitions, equalized his whole being moat wonderfully,
and caused an ideality to poesess him, as to art and all
the harmonies of life, to such a degree, as to tinge his whole
nature in a large and beautiful senae. It filled his mental expre88ion
with a rare richness of imagery seldom found; and
also aided in balancing his physical structure more firmly,
whereby, be oonld endure with tenacity the duties of bis chosen
profession.
Mara in Cancer (it.a best position) centered his mind upon
the sacredness and beauty of the home life, and thus added to
the wholeness and wholeaomeneu of his entire being. It enriched
bis views of all the domestic relationships, and so, as
a physician, caused him to come nearer and be dearer to his
patrons. In another sense it made his lung power more virile,
and thereby added to his physical vitality.
As we note the position of Venus in Scorpio, and that it
is balanced, as the Circle shows; by U ranua in Taurus, we at
once comprehend that there ia the natural origin of the "Autocrat
of the Breakfast Table," and much else of a unique character
in his writings. Venne opened the door of native, creative
power in a psychic as well as a physical sense; hence, originality
of thought combined with ideality, became a part of hie
daily existence. It enabled him to easily originate "The One
Horse Shay," "Aunt Tabitha," and many other of his poems

where mirthfulness abounds, and, with equal venatility, to
draw this great lesaou from "The Chambered Nantilus:"­
"Build thee more stately mansions, 0 my Soul,
As the swift sea,ons roll !
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last
Shut thee from heaven with a rlome more vast,
'Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea!"
Mercury in Pisoee became a genuine Messenger of the Goda
unto him, when balanced with the Earth in Virgo. His winged
feet were indeed of the restless order, but they always found
ground from whit!h to spring, and take his flights throughout
the Universe of Nature. Intuition was thereby combined
with quick material judgment: calmness of discrimination
ever united easily with Mert'urial restlessne88; hence, the result
was found in the immense variety of his expressions, both
in prose and poetry.
Dr. Holmes presents to the biological student,-as the Circle
is carefully scanned,-an exceptional lesson as to the duality of
power, whioh comes from an ability to originate thought, and
to express it with equal clearness. The positions of,- the Earth
in Virgo, Jupiter in Libra, and Venus in Scorpio, form a
Trinity whereby the finest discriminations, intuitions, and pey·
chic unfoldments are inevitable; while,- the Moon in Aries,
Uranus in Taurus and Saturn in Gemini, are a Trinity of
npression equally noteworthy.
There is also much that might be said u to the Watery
Triplicity formed by,- Mars in Cancer, Venus in Scorpio, and
Mercury in Pisces. It tells with clearness of his power of
assimilation with the people, and particularly with those of a
professional character. In a fine metaphysical sense, this
Watery Tl'iplicity formed a sea upon which our "Autocrat,"
launched his poetic barks,- blessed ships that have borne

to our readers.
(Ed.
The All Seeing Eye, Word or Light, That Brings .All
Things Into .Jfanifestation or Form:
How was it? What was it, and would I ever, could I ever,
understand or find out its meaning? How could God see all
my ways ? I knew he could hear my thoughts: 1 could feel the
spiritual or electric vibrations all through my body. The earn·
est desire to solve this question kept coming up in my mind
and heart for more than a year. before it was answered.
I suddenly a.wakened one night and opened my eyes, and
tried to look around the room to see what had awakened me
so suddenly. Everything was still and densely dark. This
surprised me, as I had never a.wakened to the outer senses before
daylight. All a.t once I saw the mingling of two lights
slowly forming an eye. The light that formed the whole eye
was the exact counterpart of the moon; the light that formed
the rim or hollow around the eye was the brilliant central light
of the sun.
How can I tell you Sister or Brother, what that eye said
to me? As I looked in that eye I nearly burst with joy I Heart,
mind and understanding, said "Lord, truly Thou art Light;
Thou seest my ways; Thou hearest my thoughts and Thou
passest through my body. I feel thy vibrations; Thou art Life!
No darkness can hide me from Theel" As I thought this, the
eye suddenly disappeared. I lay perfectly still in wonder; I
believe for a.bout ten miutes,- when I began to think; "Truly
I will have to make my work good, and my path straight. All
my ways are heard and seen by God I" Instantly that eye

again looked straight into my eyes for at least a whole minute;
I understood, and my joy is renewed every time I think of this
great revelation.
The next great problem was, that "If God is creating man
and woman after His own Divine Image," as I am sure God
was and is working every moment in bis creations: why did
God have one eye and mortals two eyes? What would a mortal
look like with only one eye? How badly I wanted to know!
lo my mind God was all right, but I was not eo sure about
myself; hence my hungry, earnest desire for more understanding.
There has never been a day, for years, but what I have
desired wisdom and understa~diog. I have always felt that if
I could gain these two absolute requisites I would be able to
accomplish all I ought to. I have always felt that I had not a
moment to lose. It was only last year that this wonderful deaire
or question was answered. On it all can depend: it is the
Rock of Ages; the Star of Bethlehem; the Christ t
I lay down one afternoon to rest and be still Soon I
heard the words "Look and Understand,'' aocompaoied by an
electric ftaah of light, a quick jerk of my right eye and it
stung as if an an eletric current bad suddenly been turned
on me and ran down to the right ovary; then the voioe said,
0 This ia the immortal Seed!" I saw thia eye of light rest
or poise over the little round globule or seed; I saw delicate
rays of light begin to form through the little germ until
every vein and part of the human mechanism was complete;
then I 11&w a beautiful male child lying on eome aoft fluffy
atuff, resembling a half open sack, then the voice of Logoa
aaid: ••The manger or place of birth of the Sona of God!" Theo
another instantaneous ftaah of electric light from the left eye.
and I waa looking at the seed germ in the left ovary; the aame
proceea went on until I saw a perfect female child. Then the
voice said: "God's daughter, or Divine oonceptionl" The word
or Voice continued' "Thia Seed firat brings forth a mortal that
muat put on immortality." Then vibrating began all through

my body, and the V oioe asked, 0 Who is God's other eye?" Before
I ooold help it 1 answered: "My life; all life! Oh, the aoft,
1 weet answer, ••Yee," by the Voice or Logos.
Truly 1 know; any man or woman that makes bad nae of the
Vital Germ, or Mighty Atom, wa."te& the M~"ter's Goods, and
the lON to auch a aoul is terrible. There is a Double Birth
gestating or being brought forth in me, that 1 am being per·
mitted to ~e at intervals or as fast as my growth permit.a.
I see that the two light.a in the alhel'ing eye are God'• two
eyes; in other words, Son and Moon. Our Moon eye only
ligbta ua Ly day, and we see through a glass dimly; bot when
by the fires of transmutation the hnmao body is cleansed, our
whole body will be 611..-d with the Father of Light.a.
Man and woman have always had this perfect eye or life,
but their bodies have not been brought up t.o the proper growth
or condition that each one can know this for himself. It ia
preposterous for a num or woman to think that God oan and
will do all, while they are constantly destroying their bodiea,
more than life and light can build it up.
I see that the electric eurrent that starts from the center of
the right eye from within, causes motion, and that action cau11e1
aound or tone; tone forms the letter of the alphabet on the deacending
soale in and through the body to the end of the right
toe, &11eending to the h.mrt, where, that little valve opens and
abuts, like a pump drawing water. I will call this vlace middle
C in music, or Divine masculine haas voice or logoe. From
the heart descending down to the toe and up to the left eye,
Divine Feminine treble voice or logos. Thia makes a oomplete
key board in music. Now then, when they sing, I bear
them: when they talk to me, I understand them,-! mean
the divine masculine and feminine of myself, God's life and
light.
Yours faithfully and lovingly in Christ,

CORRESPONDENCE. 487
NORWICH, CONN. JUNE 25, 1901.
Dear Friends:-W c are in receipt of your esteemed favor of
the 19th iost. and oote contents carefully. The two books have
also come in and 1 shall examine them with great interest and
care. The little books also came to hand, but I have been ao
exceedingly busy; working from 6.ve in the moruing until nine
and ten at night,-during the past fortnight, that I have not
liad the time to examine them thoroughly. Shall do so at the
first opportunity.
We are certainly engaged in a wonderf nl work. The millenial
glory is fast appearing and the new age ia manifesting
itself, and thousands are seeing the light. We are together
wol'king for a glorious end. I realize, at I state in "Perfect
'Health," that we must have the two wings (Truth for the body
and Truth for the mind) in order to have Perfect Health and
Perfect Salvation, and to be regenerated and not put through
the grave.
I am glad we are to co.oporate in thia noble work. I will
have 1,000 circulars of "Perfect Health" with your imprint,
and forward them to you as soon at poasible.
. Shall be glad to bear from you often.
Yours for the emancipation of the race from sin, diHMe ud
death, and in· Perfect Health,

in eYflrJ department of our work that the obaop bu been for

Notwitbatanding the multitude of IO-C&lled Mto tlwuglat lUerature
that ia being ciroolated, our Journal ia rapidly gaining
favor among the people, and our 1ublcription li1t ia muoh larger

When we began our publio work, we deoided to continue u

would be the evidence whether we were Mrving a uee in the

and while we haTe had muoh expense out of the regular order,
we are virtually out of debt. Thia alone is oonoluaive that the

the lan of creation; and a harmonious conformation to the

and we are here by virtue of that fact. Jeaua truly said: ••Ye
shall know the truth, and the truth aball make you free." Thia
ia a prerequisite to inaugnrating the higher order of ciriliDtion
for which The Occult and Biological Journal ataoda h..

journal in occult thought. Among all the magsinea that aN
bronght to our att.ention, there ia none, according to our judgment,
that oontaioa auch olear advanoed thought u thia one.
