perit-nceK of our life. When one tnrnR his attention to spiritual
thing:~ aml lives the regeuet·ate life, he will soon realize
that the mo' ements of the heave11ly bodies govern creation and
the wot·k of Transmutation in his own organism, as well as in
the world.
Regeneration means TranRmntatinn, in which grosser elementR
are tranRmutt!cl to the substances and potencies of life,
the fountain and sonrce•of all sensation, thougth, ancl, oonse­
.tlneutly, of all cmtKciousnesK, from that of the material world,
np to the highe11t 11piritual realization. It WaR not merely a
figure of 11peech when God, by his prophets and in hi11 various
revelations, called his people his wife; fe~r iu and through the
normal action of the body of e,·ery man and woman, God is
generating (regenet·atiug) his own son, the Mpiritual 8oul.
It iR a patent fact, well known to evt>ry one living thi11 life,
that every time the moon comes into the sign in which the earth

taken up their abode, into a pure crystal water ("the river of
water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding nut of the throne of
God' and of the Lamb''). When this Traut~mntatioti has been
accomplished, through the activity nf the brain and the activity
of the soul and mind, the tran11muted snhKtance is cat·ried up
into the system, anti finally finds its way into the nerve structure.
But Tt·ansmutation tloefil not stop here: at this point the tires
of life within the ilulividua.l become so intense that they burn
with •• a violet flame,'' transmuting even this pure crystal water
into an invtsible subsb!Hle s~ refined and etherealized. that,
