FOHATIC FORCES
The Secret Doctrine, i 199-205


STANZA VI
6. THE OLDER WHEELS ROTATED DOWNWARD AND
UPWARD (a)....THE MOTHER'S SPAWN FILLED THE
WHOLE (Kosmos). THERE WERE BATTLES FOUGHT
BETWEEN THE CREATORS AND THE DESTROYERS,
AND BATTLES FOUGHT FOR SPACE; THE SEED
APPEARING AND REAPPEARING CONTINUOUSLY (b).

(b) "The Seed appears and disappears
continuously." Here "Seed" stands for "the
World-germ," viewed by Science as material
particles in a highly attenuated condition,
but in Occult physics as "Spiritual
particles, i.e., supersensuous matter
existing in a state of primeval
differentiation.* In theogony, every Seed is
an ethereal organism, from which evolves
later on a celestial being, a God.
In the "beginning," that which is called in
mystic phraseology "Cosmic Desire" evolves
into absolute Light. Now light without any
shadow would be absolute light--in other
words, absolute darkness--as physical
science seeks to prove. That shadow appears
under the form of primordial matter,
allegorized--if one likes--in the shape of
the Spirit of Creative Fire or Heat. If,
rejecting the poetical form and allegory,
science chooses to see in this the
primordial Fire-Mist, it is welcome to do
so. Whether one way or the other, whether
Fohat or the famous FORCE of Science, name-
less, and as difficult of definition as our
Fohat himself, that Something "caused the
Universe to move with circular motion," as
Plato has it; or, as the Occult teaching
expresses it:

The Central Sun causes Fohat to collect
primordial dust in the form of balls, to
impel them to move in converging lines and
finally to approach each other and
aggregate. (Book of Dzyan)..... Being
scattered in Space, without order or system,
the world-germs come into frequent collision
until their final aggregation, after which
they become wanderers (Comets). Then the
battles and struggles begin. The older
(bodies) attract the younger, while others
repel them. Many perish, devoured by their
stronger companions. Those that escape
become worlds.*


* To see and appreciate the difference--the
immense gulf that separates terrestrial
matter from the finer grades of
supersenuous matter--every astronomer, every
chemist and physicist ought to be a
psychometer, to say the least; he ought to
be able to sense for himself that difference
in which he now refuses to believe. Mrs.
Elizabeth Denton, one of the most learned,
and also one of the most materialistic and
sceptical women of her age--the wife of
Professor Denton, the well-known American
geologist and the author of "The Soul of
Things"--was, nevertheless, one of the most
wonderful psychometers some years ago. This
is what she described in one of her
experiments; with a particle of a meteorite
placed on her forehead, in an envelope, the
lady, not being aware of what is contained,
said:
"What a difference between that which we
recognise as matter here and that which
seems like matter there! In the one, the
elements are so coarse and so angular, I
wonder that we can endured it all, much more
that we can desire to continue our present
relations to it; in the other, all the
elements are so refined, they are so free
from those great, rough angularities, which
characterize the elements here, that I can
but regard that as by so much the more than
this, the real existence." (Vol. III, p.
345-6.)

*When carefully analysed and reflected upon,
this will be found as scientific as Science
could make it, even at our late period.

We have been assured that there exist
several modern works of speculative fancy
upon such struggles for life in sidereal
heaven, especially in the German language.
We rejoice to hear it, for ours is an
Occult teaching lost in the darkness of
archaic ages. We have treated of it fully
in "Isis Unveiled," and the idea of
Darwinian-like evolution, of struggle for
life and supremacy, and of the "survival of
the fittest" among the Hosts above as the
Hosts below, runs throughout both the
volumes of our earlier work, written in
1876 (See Index in "Isis Unveiled" at the
words "Evolution," "Darwin," "Kapila,"
"Battle of Life," etc., etc.). But the idea
was not ours, it is that of antiquity. Even
the Puranic writers have ingeniously inter-
woven allegory with Cosmic facts and human
events. Any symbologist may discern the
astro-cosmical allusion even though he be
unable to grasp the whole meaning. The great
"Wars in Heaven," in the Puranas; the wars
of the Titans, in Hesiod and other classical
writers; the "struggles," also in the
Egyptian legend between Osiris and Typhon,
and even those in the Scandinavian legends,
all refer to the same subject. Northern
Mythology refers to it as the battle of the
Flames, the sons of Muspel who fought in
the field of Wigred. All these relate to
Heaven and Earth, and have a double and
often a triple meaning, and esoteric
application to things above as to things
below. They relate severally to
astronomical, theogonical and human
struggles; to the adjustment of orbs, and
the supremacy among nations and tribes. The
"Struggle for Existence" and the "Survival
of the Fittest" reigned surpreme from the
moment that Kosmos manifested into being,
and could hardly escape the observant eye
of the ancient Sages. Hence the incessant
fights of Indra, the god of the Firmament,
with the Asuras--degraded from high gods
into Cosmic demons; and with Vritri or
Ah-hi; the battles fought between stars and
constellations, between Moon and planets--
later on incarnated as kings and mortals.
Hence also the War in Heaven of Michael and
his Host against the Dragon (Jupiter and
Lucifer-Venus), when a third of the stars
of the rebellious host was hurled down into
Space, and "its place was found no more in
Heaven." As said long ago--"This is the
basic and fundamental stone of the secret
cycles. It shows that the Brahmins and
Taniam...speculated on the creation and
development of the world quite in a
Darwinian way, both anticipating him and
his school in the natural selection of
species, the survival of the fittist, and
transformation....There were old worlds
that perished conquered by the new," etc.,
etc., (Isis Unveiled," Vol. II., p. 260.)
The assertion that all the worlds (Stars,
planets, etc.)--as soon as a nucleus of
primordial substance in the laya
(undifferentiated) state is informed by the
freed principles, of a just deceased
sidereal body--become first comets, and then
Suns to cool down to inhabitable worlds, is
a teaching as old as the Rishis.

Thus the Secret books distinctly teach, as
we see, an astronomy that would not be re-
jected even by modern speculation could the
latter thoroughly understand its teachings.
For, archaic astronomy, and the ancient,
physical and mathematical sciences, ex-
pressed views identical with those of modern
science, and many of far more momentous im-
port. A "struggle for life" as a "survival
of the fittest" in the worlds above, as on
our planet here below, are distinctly
taught. This teaching, however, although it
would not be "entirely rejected" by Science,
is sure to be repudiated as an integral
whole. For it avers that there are only
seven Self-born primordial "gods" emanated
from the trinitarian ONE. In other words, it
means that all the worlds or sidereal bodies
(always on strict analogy) are formed one
from the other, after the primordial
manifestation at the beginning of the "Great
Age" is accomplished. The birth of the
celestial bodies in Space is compared to a
crowd or multitude of "pilgrims" at the
festival of the "Fires." Seven ascetics
appear on the thresold of the temple with
seven lighted sticks of incense. At the
light of these the first row of pilgrims
light their incense sticks. After which every ascetic begins whirling his stick
around his head in space, and furnishes the
rest with fire. Thus with the heavenly
bodies. A laya-centre is lighted and
awakened into life by the fires of another
"pilgrim," after which the new "centre"
rushes into space and becomes a comet. It is
only after losing its velocity, and hence
its fiery tail, that the "Fiery Dragon"
settles down into quiet and steady life as
a regular respectable citizen of the
sidereal family. Therefore it is said:--
Born in the unfathomable depths of Space,
out of the homogeneous Element called the
World-Soul, every nucleus of Cosmic matter,
suddenly launched into being, begins life
under the most hostile circumstances.
Through a series of countless ages, it has
to conquer for itself a place in the
infinitudes. It carries round and round
between denser and already fixed bodies,
moving by jerks, and pulling towards some
given point or centre that attracts it,
trying to avoid, like a ship drawn into a
channel dotted with reefs and sunken rocks,
other bodies that draw and repel it in turn;
many perish, their mass disintergrating
through stronger masses, and, when born
within a system, chiefly within the
insatiable stomachs of various Suns. (See
Comm. to Stanza IV.) Those which move slower
and are propelled into an elliptic course
are doomed to annihilation sooner or later.
Others moving in a parabolic curves
generally escape destruction, owing to their
velocity.
Some very critical readers will perhaps
imagine that this teaching, as to the
cometary stage passed through by all
heavenly bodies, is in contradiction with
the statements just made as to the moon
being the mother of the earth. They will
perhaps fancy that intuition is needed to
harmonise the two. But no intuition is in
truth required. What does Science know of
Comets, their genesis, growth, and ultimate
behaviour? Nothing--absolutley nothing! And
what is there so impossible that a laya
centre--a lump of cosmic protoplasm,
homogeneous and latent, when suddenly
animated or fired up--should rush from its
bed in Space and whirl throughout the
abysmal depths in order to strengthen its
homogeneous organism by an accumulation and
addition of differentiated elements? And why
should not such a comet settle in life,
live, and become an inhabited globe!
"The abodes of Fohat are many," it is said.
"He places his four fiery (electro-positive)
Sons in the "Four Circles' "; these Circles
are the Equator, the Ecliptic, and the two
parallels of declination, or the tropics--
to preside over the climates of which are
placed the Four mystical Entities. Then
again: "Other seven (sons) are commissioned
to preside over the seven hot, and seven
cold lokas (the hells of the orthodox
Brahmins) at the two ends of the Egg of
Matter (our Earth and its poles). The seven
lokas are also called the "Rings,"
elsewhere, and the "Circles." The ancients
made the polar circles seven instead of two,
as Europeans do; for Mount Meru, which is
the North Pole, is said to have seven gold
and seven silver steps leading to it.
The strange statement made in one of the
Stanzas: "The Songs of Fohat and his Sons
were radiant as the noon-tide Sun and the
Moon combined;" and that the four Sons on
the middle four-fold Circle "saw their
father's songs and heard his Solar-selenic
radiance;" is explained in the Commentary in
these words: "The agitation of the Fohatic
Forces at the two cold ends (North and South
Poles) of the Earth which resulted in a
multicoloured radiance at night, have in
them several of the properties of Akasa
(Ether) colour and sound as well."......
"Sound is the characteristic of Akasa
(Ether); it generates air, the property of
which is Touch; which (by friction) becomes
productive of Colour and Light."......
(Vishnu Purana.)
Perhaps the above will be regarded as
archaic nonsense, but it will be better
comprehended, if the reader remembers the
Aurora Borealis and Australis, both of which
take place at the very centres of
terrestrial electric and magnetic forces.
The two poles are said to be store-houses,
the receptacles and liberators, at the same
time, of Cosmic and terrestrial Vitality
(Electricity); from the surplus of which the
Earth, had it not been for these two natural
"safety-valves," would have been rent to
pieces long ago. At the same time it is now
a theory that has lately become an axiom,
that the phenomenon of polar lights is
accompained by, and productive of, strong
sounds, like whistling, hissing, and
cracking.

CORRELATION OF FORCES
The Secret Doctrine, i 507-522


The chief and most fatal mistake and fallacy
made by Science, in the view of the
Occultists, lies in the idea of the
possibility of such a thing as inorganic,
or dead matter, in nature. Is anything dead
or inorganic capable of transformation or
change? Occultism asks. And is there
anything under the sun which remains
immutable or changeless?
This fallacy is nowhere better illustrated
than in the scientific work of a German
savant, Professor Philip Spiller (Der
Weltaether als Kosmishe Kraft). In this
cosmological treatise, the author attempts
to prove that "no material constituent of a
body, no atom, is in itself originally
endowed with force, but that every such atom
is absolutely dead,* and without any power
to act at a distance" (p. 4).
This statement, however, does not prevent
Spiller from enunciating an occult doctrine
and principle. He asserts the independent
substantiality of force, and shows it as an
"incorporeal stuff" (unkoerperlicher stoff)
or substance. Now substance is not matter in
metaphysics, and for argument's sake it may
be granted that it is a wrong expression to
use. But this is due to the poverty of
European languages, and especially to that
of scientific terms. Then this "stuff" is
identified and connected by Spiller with the
aether. Expressed in occult language it
might be said with more correctness that
this "force-substance" is the ever-active
phenomenal positive aether--prakriti; while
the omnipresent all pervading ether is the
noumenon of the former, the substratum of
all, or Akasa. Nevertheless, Stallo falls
foul of Spiller, as he does of the
materialists. He is accused of "utter
disregard of the fundamental correlation of
force and matter" (of neither of which
Science knows anything certain). For this
"hypostasized half-concept" is, in the view
of all other physicists, not only
imponderable, but destitute of cohesive,
chemical, thermal, electric, and magnetic
forces--of all of which forces--according to
occultism--aether is the source and cause.


*Something dead implies that it had been at
some time living. When, at what period of
cosmogony? Occultism says that in all cases
when matter appears inert, it is the most
active. A wooden or a stone block is
motionless and impenetrable to all intents
and purposes. Nevertheless, and de facto,
its particles are in ceaseless eternal
vibration which is so rapid that to the
physical eye the body seems absolutely
devoid of motion; and the spatial distance
between those particles in their vibratory
motion is--considered from another plane of
being and perception--as great as that which
separates snow flakes or drops of rain. But
to physical science this will be an
absurdity.

Therefore Spiller, with all his mistakes,
exhibits more intuition than any other
modern Scientist, with the exception of Dr.
Richardson, perhaps, the theorist on the
"nerve force," or Nervous Ether, also on
"Sun Force and Earth Force."* For AETHER, in
Esotericism, is the very quintessence of all
possible energy, and it is certainly to this
universal agent (composed of many agents)
that all the manifestations of energy in the
material, psychic and spiritual worlds are
due.
What are Electricity and Light, in fact? How
can Science know that one is a fluid and the
other a "mode of motion"? Why is it not made
clear why a difference should be made
between them, since both are considered
force-correlations. Electricity is a fluid,
we are told, immaterial and non-molecular
(though Helmholtz thinks otherwise), and the
proof of it is that we can bottle it up,
accumulate and store it away. Then it must
be simply matter, and no peculiar "fluid."
Nor is it only "a mode of motion," for
motion could hardly be stored in a Leyden
jar. As for light, it is a still more
extraordinary "mode of motion;" since,
"marvellous as it may appear, light (also)
can actually be stored up for use," as
demonstrated by Professor Grove nearly half
a century ago.

Take an engraving which has been kept for
some days in the dark, expose it to full
sunshine--that is, insulate it for 15
minutes; lay it on sensitive paper in a dark
place, and at the end of 24 hours it will
have left an impression of itself on the
sensitive paper, the whites coming out as
blacks....There seems to be no limit for the
reproduction of engravings, etc., etc.....

What is it that remains fixed, nailed, so to
say, on the paper? It is a Force certainly,
that fixed the thing, but what is that
thing, the residue of which remains on the
paper?


*See "Popular Science Review," Vol. V., pp.
329-34.

Our learned men will get out of this through
some scientific technicality; but what is it
that is intercepted, so as to imprison a
certain quantity of it on glass, paper, or
wood? Is it "Motion" or is it "Force"? Or
shall we be told that what remains behind is
the effect only of the force or Motion? Then
what is this Force? Force or energy is a
quality; but every quality must belong to a
something, or a somebody. In Physics, Force
is defined as "that which changes or tends
to change any physical relation between
bodies, whether mechanical, thermal,
chemical, electrical, magnetic, etc." But it
is not that "Force" or that "Motion" which
remains behind on the paper, when the Force
or Motion has ceased to act; and yet some-
thing, which our physical senses cannot
perceive, has been left there to become a
cause in its turn and produce effects. What
is it? It is not matter, as defined by
Science--i.e., matter in any of its known
states. An Alchemist would say it was a
spiritual secretion--and would be laughed
at. But yet, when the physicist said that
Electricity, stored up, was a fluid, or that
light fixed on paper is still Sunlight--
this is Science. In the opinion of an
experienced Occultist, one who has verified
the whole series of Nidanas, of causes and
effects that finally project their last
effect on to this our plane of
manifestations; one who has traced matter
back to its noumenon, the explanation of the
physicist is like calling anger, or its
effects--the exclamation provoked by it--a
secretion or a fluid, and man, the cause of
it--its material conductor. But, as Grove
prophetically remarked, that days is fast
approaching when it will be confessed that
the "forces" we know of are but the
phenomenal manifestations of realities we
know nothing about,--but which were known to
the ancients and--by them worshipped.

He made one still more suggestive remark,
however, which ought to have become the
motto of Science, but has not. Sir W. Grove
said that "SCIENCE SHOULD HAVE NEITHER
DESIRES NOR PREJUDICES. TRUTH SHOULD BE HER
SOLE AIM."
Meanwhile, in our days, Scientists are more
self-opinionated and bigoted than even the
clergy. For they minister to, if they do not
actually worship, "Force-Matter." which is
their Unknown God. And how unknown it is may
be inferred from the many confessions of the
most eminent physicists and biologists, with
Faraday at their head. Not only, he said,
could he never presume to pronounce whether
Force was a property or function of Matter,
but he actually did not know what was meant
by the word matter.
There was a time, he added, when he believed
he knew something of matter. But the more he
lived, and the more carefully he studied it,
the more he became convinced of his utter
ignorance of the nature of matter.* (See
Buckwell's "Electric Science.")
The Occultists are often misunderstood
because, for lack of better terms, they
apply to the essence of Force under certain
aspects the descriptive epithet of
substance. Now the names for the varieties
of "substance" on different planes of
perception and being are legion. Eastern
Occultism has a special appellation for each
kind; but Science--like England, in the
recollection of a witty Frenchman, blessed
with thirty-six religions and only one
fish-sauce--has but one name for all,
namely, "Substance." Moreover, neither the
orthodox physicists nor their critics seem
to be very certain of their premises, and
are as apt to confuse the effects as they do
the causes. It is incorrect, for instance,
to say, as Stallo does, that "matter can no
more be realized or conceived as mere
spatial presence than as a concretion of
forces," or that "force is nothing without
mass, and mass is nothing without force"--
for one is the noumenon and the other the
phenomenon. Again; Schelling, when saying
that "It is a mere delusion of the phantasy
that something, we know not what, remains
after we have denuded an object of all the
predicates belonging to it"*--could never
have applied the remark to the realm of
transcendental metaphysics. It is true that
pure force is nothing in the world of
physics; it is ALL in the domain of Spirit.
Says Stallo: "If we reduce the mass upon
which a given force, however small, acts to
its limit zero--or, mathematically
expressed, until it becomes infinitely small
--the consequence is that the velocity of
the resulting motion is infinitely great,
and that the 'thing' ... is at any given
moment neither here nor there, but every-
where--that there is no real presence; it is
impossible, therefore, to construct matter
by a synthesis of forces" (p. 161).


*This ominous confession was made, we
believe, at a Scientific Congress at
Swansea. Faraday held a similar opinion,
however, as stated by Tyndall: "What do we
know of the atom apart from its force? You
imagine a nucleus which may be called a
and surround it by forces which may be
called m; to my mind the a or nucleus
vanishes and the substance consists of the
powers m. And, indeed, what notion can we
form of the nucleus independent of its
powers? What thought remains on which to
hang the imagination of an a independent of
the acknowledged forces?"

*Schelling, "Ideen," etc., p. 18.

This may be true in the phenomenal world,
inasmuch as the illusive reflection of the
one reality of the supersensual world may
appear true to the dwarfed conceptions of a
materialist. It is absolutely incorrect when
the argument is applied to things, in what
the Kabalists call the super-mundane
spheres. Inertia, so called, "is force"
according to Newton (Princ. Def. III.), and
for the student of Esoteric Sciences the
greatest of the occult forces. A body may be
considered divorced from its relations with
other bodies--which, according to physical
and mechanical sciences, give rise to its
attributes--only conceptually, only on this
plane of illusion. In fact, it can never be
so detached: death itself being unable to
detach it from its relation with the
Universal forces, of which the one FORCE or
LIFE is the synthesis: but simply continues
such inter-relation on another plane. But
what, if Stallo is right, can Dr.
JamesCroll mean when, in speaking "On the
Transformation of Gravity" (Philosophical
Magazine, Vol. II., p. 252), he brings
forward the views advocated by Faraday,
Waterston, and others? For he says very
plainly that gravity--

is a force pervading Space external to
bodies, and that, on the mutual approach of
the bodies, the force is not increased, as
is generally supposed, but the bodies merely
pass into a place where the force exists
with greater intensity.....

No one will deny that a force (whether
gravity, electricity, or any other force)
which exists outside of the bodies and in
open space--be it ether or vacuum--must be
something, and not a pure nothing, when
conceived apart from a mass. Otherwise it
could hardly exist in one place with a
greater and in another with reduced
"intensity." G.A.Hirn declares the same in
his Theorie Mecanique de l'Univers. He tries
to demonstrate that the atom of the chemists
is not an entity of pure convention, or
simply an explicative device, but that it
exists really, that its volume is
unalterable, and that consequently it is not
elastic (!!). Force, therefore, is not in
the space which "separates the atoms from
each other."

One of my favorite parts: Page 444-446 II

Since the beginning of the Atlantean Race many million years have passed, yet we find the last of the Atlanteans, still mixed up with the Aryan element, 11,000 years ago. This shows the enormous overlapping of one race over the race which succeeds it, though in character and external type the elder loses its characteristics, and assumes the new features of the younger race. This is proved in all the formations of mixed human races. Now, Occult philosophy teaches that even now, under our very eyes, the new Race and Races are preparing to be formed, and that it is in America that the transformation will take place, and has already silently commenced.

Pure Anglo-Saxons hardly three hundred years ago, the Americans of the United States have already become a nation apart, and, owing to a strong admixture of various nationalities and inter-marriage, almost a race sui generis, not only mentally, but also physically. "Every mixed race, when uniform and settled, has been able to play the part of a primary race in fresh crossings," says de Quatrefages. "Mankind, in its present state, has thus been formed, certainly, for the greatest part, by the successive crossing of a number of races at present undetermined"

Thus the Americans have become in only three centuries a "primary race," pro tem., before becoming a race apart, and strongly separated from all other now existing races. They are, in short, the germs of the Sixth sub-race, and in some few hundred years more, will become most decidedly the pioneers of that race which must succeed to the present European or fifth sub-race, in all its new characteristics. After this, in about 25,000 years, they will launch into preparations for the seventh sub-race; until, in consequence of cataclysms — the first series of those which must one day destroy Europe, and still later the whole Aryan race (and thus affect both Americas), as also most of the lands directly connected with the confines of our continent and isles — the Sixth Root-Race will have appeared on the stage of our Round. When shall this be? Who knows save the great Masters of Wisdom, perchance, and they are as silent upon the subject as the snow-capped peaks that tower above them. All we know is, that it will silently come into existence; so silently, indeed, that for long millenniums shall its pioneers — the peculiar children who will grow into peculiar men and women — be regarded as anomalous lusus naturae, abnormal oddities physically and mentally. Then, as they increase, and their numbers become with every age greater, one day they will awake to find themselves in a majority. It is the present men who will then begin to be regarded as exceptional mongrels, until these die out in their turn in civilised lands; surviving only in small groups on islands — the mountain peaks of to-day — where they will vegetate, degenerate, and finally die out, perhaps millions of years hence, as the Aztecs have, as the Nyam-Nyam and the dwarfish Moola Koorumba of the Nilghiri Hills are dying. All these are the remnants of once mighty races, the recollection of whose existence has entirely died out of the remembrance of the modern generations, just as we shall vanish from the memory of the Sixth Race Humanity. The Fifth will overlap the Sixth Race for many hundreds of millenniums, changing with it slower than its new successor, still changing in stature, general physique, and mentality, just as the Fourth overlapped our Aryan race, and the Third had overlapped the Atlanteans.

This process of preparation for the Sixth great Race must last throughout the whole sixth and seventh sub-races (vide supra, the diagram of the Genealogical Tree of the Fifth Race). But the last remnants of the Fifth Continent will not disappear until some time after the birth of the new Race; when another and new dwelling, the sixth continent, will have appeared above the new waters on the face of the globe, so as to receive the new stranger. To it also will emigrate and settle all those who shall be fortunate enough to escape the general disaster. When this shall be — as just said — it is not for the writer to know. Only, as nature no more proceeds by sudden jumps and starts, than man changes suddenly from a child into a mature man, the final cataclysm will be preceded by many smaller submersions and destructions both by wave and volcanic fires. The exultant pulse will beat high in the heart of the race now in the American zone, but there will be no more Americans when the Sixth Race commences; no more, in fact, than Europeans; for they will have now become a new race, and many new nations. Yet the Fifth will not die, but survive for a while: overlapping the new Race for many hundred thousands of years to come, it will become transformed with it — slower than its new successor — still getting entirely altered in mentality, general physique, and stature. Mankind will not grow again into giant bodies as in the case of the Lemurians and the Atlanteans; because while the evolution of the Fourth race led the latter down to the very bottom of materiality in its physical development, the present Race is on its ascending arc; and the Sixth will be rapidly growing out of its bonds of matter, and even of flesh.

Thus it is the mankind of the New world — one by far the senior of our Old one, a fact men had also forgotten — of Patala (the Antipodes, or the Nether World, as America is called in India), whose mission and Karma it is, to sow the seeds for a forthcoming, grander, and far more glorious Race than any of those we know of at present. The Cycles of Matter will be succeeded by Cycles of Spirituality and a fully developed mind. On the law of parallel history and races, the majority of the future mankind will be composed of glorious Adepts. Humanity is the child of cyclic Destiny, and not one of its Units can escape its unconscious mission, or get rid of the burden of its co-operative work with nature. Thus will mankind, race after race, perform its appointed cycle-pilgrimage. Climates will, and have already begun, to change, each tropical year after the other dropping one sub-race, but only to beget another higher race on the ascending cycle; while a series of other less favoured groups — the failures of nature — will, like some individual men, vanish from the human family without even leaving a trace behind.

Such is the course of Nature under the sway of KARMIC LAW: of the ever present and the ever-becoming Nature. For, in the words of a Sage, known only to a few Occultists:— "THE PRESENT IS THE CHILD OF THE PAST; THE FUTURE, THE BEGOTTEN OF THE PRESENT. AND YET, O PRESENT MOMENT! KNOWEST THOU NOT THAT THOU HAST NO PARENT, NOR CANST THOU HAVE A CHILD; THAT THOU ART EVER BEGETTING BUT THYSELF? BEFORE THOU HAST EVEN BEGUN TO SAY 'I AM THE PROGENY OF THE DEPARTED MOMENT, THE CHILD OF THE PAST,' THOU HAST BECOME THAT PAST ITSELF. BEFORE THOU UTTEREST THE LAST SYLLABLE, BEHOLD! THOU ART NO MORE THE PRESENT BUT VERILY THAT FUTURE. THUS, ARE THE PAST, THE PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE, THE EVER-LIVING TRINITY IN ONE — THE MAHAMAYA OF THE ABSOLUTE IS."

The above-cited views, expressed by two men
of Science of great eminence in their
respective countries, show that it is not in
the least unscientific to speak of the
substantiality of the so-called Forces.
Subject to some future specific name, this
force is substance of some kind, and can be
nothing else; and perhaps one day Science
will be the first to re-adopt the derided
name of phlogiston. Whatever may be the
future name given to it, to maintain that
force does not reside in the atoms, but only
in "space between them," may be scientific
enough; nevertheless it is not true. To the
mind of an Occultist it is like saying that
water does not reside in the drops of which
the ocean is composed, but only in the space
between those drops!
The objection made that there are two
distinct schools of physicists, by one of
which "the force is assumed to be an
independent substantial entity, which is NOT
a property of matter nor is it essentially
related to matter,"* is hardly likely to
help the profane to any clearer
understanding. It is, on the contrary, still
more calculated to throw the question into
greater confusion than ever. For Force is,
then, neither this nor the other. By viewing
it as "an independent substantial entity,"
the theory extends the right hand of
fellowship to Occultism, while the strange
contradictory idea that it is not related to
matter otherwise than by "its power to act
upon it,"* leads physical science to the
most absurd contradictory hypotheses.
Whether "force" or "motion," (Occultism,
seeing no difference between the two, never
attempts to separate them) it cannot act for
the adherents of the atomo-mechanical theory
one way, and for those of the rival school
in another way. Nor can the atoms be, in one
case, absolutely uniform in size and weight,
and in another, vary in their weight
(Avogadro's law). For, in the words of the
same able critic,

While the absolute equality of the
primordial units of mass is thus an
essential part of the very foundations of
the mechanical theory, the whole modern
Science of chemistry is based upon a
principle directly subversive of it--a
principle of which it has recently been said
that 'it holds the same place in chemistry
that the law of gravitation does in
astronomy.'* This principle is known as the
law of Avogadro or Ampere.*


*"Concepts of Modern Physics," xxxi.,
Introductory to the 2nd edition.

*Loc. cit.

*J.P.Cooke, The New Chemistry, p. 13.

*"It imports that equal volumes of all
substances, when in the gaseous state, and
under like conditions of pressure and
temperature, contain the same number of
molecules--whence it follows that the
weights of the molecules are proportional to
the specific gravities of the gases; that
therefore, these being different, the
weights of the molecules are different also;
and inasmuch as the molecules of certain
elementary substances are monatomic (consist
of but one atom each) while the molecules of
various other substances contain the same
number of atoms, that the ultimate atoms of
such substances are of different weights"
(Concepts of Modern Physics, p. 34). As
shown further on in the same volume, this
cardinal principle of modern theoretical
chemistry is in utter and irreconcilable
conflict with the first proposition of the
atomo-mechanical theory--namely, the
absolute equality of the primordial units of
mass.

This shows that either modern chemistry or
modern physics is entirely wrong in its respective fundamental principles. For if
the assumption of atoms of different
specific gravities on the basis of the
atomic theory in physics is deemed absurd,
and chemistry meets, nevertheless, on its
opposite basis (in the question of the
formation and transformation of chemical
compounds) with "unfailing experimental
verification," then it becomes apparent that
it is the atomo-mechanical theory which is
untenable. The explanations of the latter,
that "the differences of weight are only
differences of density, and differences of
density are differences of distance between
the particles contained in a given space,"
are not really valid, because, before a
physicist can argue in his defence that, "as
in the atom there is no multiplicity of
particles and no void space: hence
differences of density or weight are
impossible in the case of atoms," he must
first know what an atom is, in reality, and
that he cannot know. He must bring it under
the observation of at least one of his
physical senses--and that he cannot do: for
the simple reason that no one has ever seen,
smelt, heard, touched or tasted an "atom."
The atom belongs wholly to the domain of
metaphysics. It is an entified abstraction--
at any rate for physical Science--and has
nought to do with physics, strictly
speaking, as it can never be brought to the
test of retort or balance. The mechanical
conception, therefore, becomes a jumble of
the most conflicting theories and dilemmas,
in the minds of the many Scientists who
disagree on this, as on other subjects; the
evolution of which the Eastern Occultist,
who follows this scientific strife, beholds
in the greatest bewilderment.

To conclude on the question of gravity. How
can Science presume to know anything certain
of it? How can it maintain its position and
its hypothesis against those of the
Occultists, who see in gravity only sympathy
and antipathy, or attraction and repulsion,
caused by physical polarity on our
terrestrial plane, and by spiritual causes
outside of its influence? How can they
disagree with the Occultists before they
agree among themselves? Indeed one hears of
the conservation of energy, and in the same
breath of the perfect hardness and
inelasticity of the atoms; of the Kinetic
theory of gases being identical with
"potential energy," so called; and, at the
same time, of the elementary units of mass
being absolutely hard and inelastic! An
Occultist opens a scientific work and reads
as follows:--

Physical atomism derives all the qualitative
properties of matter from the forms of
atomic motion. The atoms themselves remain
as elements utterly devoid of property.
--Die Theorie der Materie, 381 -----WUNDT

And further:

Chemistry in its ultimate form must be
atomic mechanics.
--Thermochemie, 150 -----NAZESMANN

And a moment after he is told that:

Gases consist of atoms which behave like
solid, perfectly elastic spheres.
--Philosophical Magazine, XIX, 18
-----KROENIG, CLAUSIUS, MAXWELL

Finally, to crown all, Sir W.Thomson is
found declaring that:

We are forbidden by the modern theory of the
conservation of energy to assume
inelasticity, or anything short of perfect
elasticity of the ultimate molecules of
ultra mundane or mundane matter.[!!!]
--Philosophical Magazine, 321, loc. cit.

But what do the men of true Science say to
all this? By the "men of true Science" we
mean those who care too much for truth and
too little for their personal vanity to
dogmatise on anything, as the majority do.
There are several among them--perhaps more
than dare publish openly their secret
conclusions for fear of the cry "Stone him
to death!"--men, whose intuitions have made
them span the abyss that lies between the
terrestrial aspect of matter, and the--to
us, on our plane of illusion--subjective,
i.e., TRANSCENDENTALLY OBJECTIVE SUBSTANCE,
and led them to proclaim the existence of
the latter. Matter, to the Occultist, it
must be remembered, is the totality of
existences in the Kosmos, which falls within
any of the planes of possible perception. We
are but too well aware that the orthodox
theories of sound, heat and light, are
against the occult doctrines. But, it is not
enough for the men of Science, or their
defenders, to say that they do not deny
dynamic power to light and heat; and urge as
a proof the fact that Mr. Crookes'
radiometer has unsettled no views. If they
would fathom the ultimate nature of these
Forces, they have first to admit their
substantial nature, however supersensuous.
Neither do the Occultists deny the
correctness of the vibratory theory.* Only
they limit its functions to our Earth--
declaring its inadequacy on other planes
than ours, since "Masters" in the Occult
Sciences perceive the CAUSES that produce
ethereal vibrations. Were all these only the
fictions of the alchemists, or dreams of the
Mystics, such men as Paracelsus,
Philalethes, Van Helmont, and so many
others, would have to be regarded as worse
than visionaries: they would become
imposters and deliberate mystifications.
The Occultists are taken to task for calling
the Cause of light, heat, sound, cohesion,
magnetism, etc., etc., a substance.* Mr.
Clerk Maxwell has stated that the pressure
of strong sunlight on a square mile is about
3 1/4 lbs. It is, they are told, "the energy
of the myriad ether waves;" and when they
call it a "substance" impinging on that
area, their explanation is proclaimed
unscientific.


*Referring to the Aura, one of the Masters
says in the "Occult World," How could you
make yourself understood by, command in
fact, those semi-intelligent forces, whose
means of communication with us are not
through spoken words but through sounds and
colours in correlation between the
vibrations of the two." It is this
"correlation" that is unknown to modern
Science, yet was many times explained by the
Alchemists.

*The "substance" of the Occultist, however,
is to the most refined substance of the
physicist, what radiant matter is to the
leather of the Chemist's boots.

There is no justification for such an
accusation. In no way--as stated more than
once before now--do the Occultists dispute
the explanations of Science, as affording a
solution of the immediate objective agencies
at work. Science only errs in believing
that, because it has detected in vibratory
waves the proximate cause of these
phenomena, it has, therefore, revealed ALL
that lies beyond the threshold of Sense. It
merely traces the sequence of phenomena on a
plane of effects, illusory projections from
the region that Occultism has long since
penetrated. And the latter maintains that
those etheric tremors, are not, as asserted
by Science, set up by the vibrations of the
molecules of known bodies--the matter of our
terrestrial objective consiousness,--but
that we must seek for the ultimate causes of
light, heat, etc., etc., in MATTER existing
in super-sensuous states--states, however,
as fully objective to the spiritual eye of
man, as a horse or a tree is to the ordinary
mortal. Light and heat are the ghost or
shadow of matter in motion. Such states can
be perceived by the SEER or the Adept during
the hours of trance, under the Sushumna ray
--the first of the Seven Mystic rays of the
Sun.*
Thus, we put forward the Occult teaching
which maintains the reality of a super-
substantial and supersensible essence of
that Akasa (not ether, which is only an
aspect of the latter), the nature of which
cannot be inferred from its remoter
manifestations--its merely phenomenal
phalanx of effects--on this terrene plane.
Science, on the contrary, informs us that
heat can never be regarded as matter in any
conceivable state.* We are also told that
the two great obstacles to the fluid (?)
theory of heat undoubtedly are:--
(1.) The production of heat by friction--
excitation of molecular motions.
(2.) The conversion of heat into mechanical
motion.


*The names of the Seven Rays--which are,
Sushumna, Harikesa, Viswakarman,
Viswatryarchas, Sannaddha, Sarvavasu and
Swaraj--are all mystical, and each has its
distinct application in a distinct state of
consciousness, for occult purposes. The
Sushumna, which, as said in the Nirukta (II,
6), is only to light up the moon, is the ray
nevertheless cherished by the initiated
Yogis. The totality of the Seven Rays spread
through the Solar system constitute, so to
say, the physical Upadhi (basis) of the
Ether of Science; in which Upadhi, light,
heat, electricity, etc., etc.,--the forces
of orthodox science--correlate to produce
their terrestrial effects. As psychic and
spiritual effects, they emanate from, and
have their origin in, the supra-solar
Upadhi, in the ether of the Occultist--or
Akasa.

*To cite a most impartial critic, one whose
authority no one can call in question, as a
reminder to Western Dogmatists, that the
question cannot be in any way considered as
settled: "There is no fundamental
differences between light and heat...each is
merely a metamorphosis of the other....Heat
is light in complete repose. Light is heat
in rapid motion. Directly light is combined
with a body, it becomes heat; but when it is
thrown off from that body it again becomes
light." (Leslie's Fluid Theory of Light and
Heat.) "Whether this is true or false we
cannot tell, and many years, perhaps many
generations, will have to elapse before we
shall be able to tell." (Buckle's History of
Civilization, Vol. III., p. 384.)

The answer given is: There are fluids of
various kinds. Electricity is called a
fluid, and so was heat quite recently, but
it was on the supposition that heat was some
imponderable substance. This was during the
supreme and autocratic reign of matter. When
the latter was dethroned, and MOTION was
proclaimed the sole sovereign ruler of the
Universe, heat became "a mode of motion." We
need not despair: it may become something
else to-morrow. Like the Universe itself,
Science is ever becoming, and can never say,
"I am that I am." On the other hand, Occult
Science has its changeless traditions from
prehistoric times. It may err in
particulars; it can never become guilty of a
mistake in questions of Universal laws,
simply because that Science, justly referred
to by philosophy as the "divine," was born
on higher planes, and was brought on Earth
by beings who were wiser than man will be,
even in the seventh Race of his Seventh
Round. And that Science maintains that
Forces are not what modern learning would
have them; e.g., Magnetism is not a "mode of
motion"; and, in this particular case, at
least, exact "modern Science" is sure to
come to grief some day. Nothing, at the
first blush, can appear more ridiculous,
more outrageously absurd than to say, for
instance: "the Hindu initiated Yogi knows
really ten times more than the greatest
European physicist of the ultimate nature
and constitution of light--both solar and
lunar." Yet why is the Sushumna ray believed
to be that ray which furnishes the moon with
its borrowed light? Why is it "the ray
cherished by the initiated Yogi"? Why is the
moon held as the deity of the mind, by those
Yogis? We say, because light, or rather all
its occult properties, every combination and
correlation of it with other forces, mental,
psychic, and spiritual, were perfectly known
to the old adepts.

Therefore, although, in its knowledge of the
ultimate constitution of matter, or in the
so-called ultimate analysis as opposed to
the proximate in chemistry, occult science
may be less well-informed as to the
behaviour of compound elements in various
cases of physical correlations: still, it is
immeasurably higher in its knowledge of the
ultimate occult states of matter, and of the
true nature of matter, than all the
physicists and chemists of our modern day
put together.
Now, if we state the truth openly and in
full sincerity, namely, that the ancient
Initiates had a far wider knowledge of
physics--as a Science of Nature--than our
Academies of Science, all taken together,
possess, the statement will be characterized
as an impertinence and an absurdity; for
physical sciences are considered to have
been carried in our age to the apex of
perfection. Hence, the twitting query --
"Can the Occultists meet successfully the
two points, namely (a) the production of
heat by friction--excitation of molecular
motions; and (b) the conversion of heat into
mechanical force, if they hold to the old
'exploded' theory of heat being a substance
or a fluid?"
To answer the question, it must first be
observed that the Occult Sciences do not
regard either electricity or any of the
forces supposed to be generated by it, as
matter, in any of the states known to
physical Science; to put it more clearly,
none of these "forces," so-called, are
either solids, gases, or fluids. If it did
not look pedantic, an Occultist would even
object to electricity being called a fluid--
as it is an effect and not a cause. But its
noumenon, he would say, is a conscious
cause. The same in the cases of "Force" and
the "Atom." Let us see what an eminent
Academician, Butlerof, the chemist, had to
say about these two abstractions.
