THE ESSENTI AL ROSE-CROSS Oil ROSE-CIIOIX.

Translated from the French in " L’ Initiation" by Margaret B. Peeke.

" f ro m taxi we art- la.m :In Jesus we Hir:lljr Ihr Holy Spirit we arc revived.”

Nature will always have secrets. Thr golden chain comes from thr Intinitr and returns to it again. Nci- nice would hr perverted if critica and reformers did not arise to neparate the pure from the impure and hold the balance between reason anti experience. Thus things are ever passing; the reformers of to-day (from the beginning of the seventeenth century) in I Germany form the Institute of the Hose t'roix.

Art in the servant of Nature; theory anti practice go hand in hand. To learn the Hecrets. to adapt them, to appropriate them and realize them such is tilt- triple way that the Adept follows who is taught in the nine colleges ii|miii the earth; Kgypt, Kleusis, Kii mol pules. Ha m ot hr ace (the Cahiri|. Persia. Chaldea, India. Arabia, anti Pythagoriaus and tiymnosophists.

Alchemy is but a secondary art. The Hosy Cross values truth rnttre than gold, although the latter is useful as a means of use in worldly life The Adepts' medicine in physical, vital and spiritual, anti they tlis. tribute it as humanity has need, then leave the condi- tion to develop itself anti retire in secret until it is necessary to be repeated. The cubic stone is the sym- bol ol this adaptation of science anti art to this end and tracing effects to their causes.

The times of action of the true KosicruciaM are de­termined by their knowledge of the sidereal world and the laws of evolution of the human race. These |<eri<sls are designed to awaken the desire and prove who are worthy to l»e elected. These are few in nurn her. The Uose Croix accepts scarcely one candidate in a thousand. (Celibacy is not an indis|s-nsable con­dition, for there are among them married men ami fathers of families; neither is the knowh-dge of medi­cine, for there are artists among them.)

The Hclnsds of Wisdom are divided into exterior and interior. The former [w»sses* the Irftrr and the latter the */«<•»/ of the hieroglyphs. Kxterior religion is connected with the interior by ceremonies. Tin- exterior school of mysteries is joined by symbols with

i the interior “ Hons of Truth." It has but one Order, that of brotherhood, an association of thinking men who have but one desire, namely, to acquire Light. Prom this center innumerable orders have gone out by those who were discontented. The multiple is In the

| ceremonial of the exterior, the truth Is uuly in the in­terior. The cause of the multiplicity of the orders or brotherhoods is the multiplicity of the explanations of the symlsds, according to time, place and circum­stances. Tin fe in unlit mu Irin rt mi hi ii n it ti nf fifth /.

All errors, divisions and misunderstandings in re ligion and secret associations give place to such ideas

| regarding only the letter; tile spirit remains always | intact and holy. All contact is with the outer curtain [ on which is written symbols, ceremonies and rites;1 nothing touches the interior.

Our will, our end, our work is the revivification of J the dead letter, and to give to symlsds a spirit and to signs without life, true life; to make tile inactive

j active, and death living. We cannot do this of our selves. Out by the spirit of light, which is wisdom.

I love and the light of the world; which desires In be­come your spirit or your light.

Pntil the present time, the most interior sanctuary i has been separated from the temple and has become

the seat of those in the vestibule. The time is near when the sacred sanctuary will l«- reunited to the tern

i pie, for those who are in the temple to have power to act U|s>n those in tin- vestibule until they will both Is­as one

In our sanctuary, which is most interior, all myster­ies of spirit and truth are preserved pure. It has

| never been profaned, nor touched by the impure. This sanctuary is invisible, as it is a force, only known when in action.

In our scliasd all can Is- taught, for our Master is the same Light, and his Spirit. ( fur sciences are tin- heritage promised to the elect or to those who are ca|>able of receiving the light; ami the practice of our sciences is the fullness of the divine alliance with the children of men. Now we have fulfilled our mission and have announced to you the approach of the great msintide and the reunion of the interior sanctuary with the temple. The minimum Imuum is wisdom I tut we must distinguish between human and divine wisdom. The first is im|s>rfect. uncertain, doubtful, its faults are excised in the Issik of the savant Agrippa, who had seen farther than human philoso phy; also in that of l»r. Sanchetz. The w isdom of the world is f o o l i s h n e s s in the eyes of tosl Tin- w is e

4 September, 1 «r_\HTAH OF rlmen of the world often, with all their intelligence, act, even from their own ntand|»oint, foolishly, for their wisdom in fieriahahle ami changing. Hyrach said truly: “ All wiMlom M M from the Lord <*od and is eternal with Him.'*

Scripture teaches us, then, that there in a divine wisdom. Hoiomon said: "The Lord gave wisdom, and, by his mouth, descended knowledge and compre­hension." He cave also the characters of this wis­dom: " I t is the breath of divine power, a ray of the magnificence of the All-I’owerful, the splendor of the eternal light, an immaculate mirror of divine power, an image of his go o d n ess It is transmitted to thin earth by the mouth of saints and prophets, but the Wbrrf of (Jod is the well of wisdom, and the eternal law In It In its source." Job saidt:.*; 1*0, -’II that “ it is hidden from the eye of all the living." The Lord wished that man lie intelligent and knows how to rec­ognise his trill. It is necessary, then, that we force ourselves to acquire wisdom.

In the Old Testament. Adam, Noah, Lot. Jacob. Joseph, Moses, Joshua. David. Nolomon. Daniel and Ksdras have had wisdom, shared with Samuel, Klias. Klinlia and Ksaies. Jesus Christ gave it to his disci­ples. Very few men have received this divine gift. To do this It Is necessary to become the enemy of this world. Tliime that hate the world are the friends of Ood. “ There Is not a wise man," said Tertuliian, " that the world does not believe a fool, for the wisdom ol this world is the contrary of heavenly wisdom, and to And this latter one must renounce all the worldly wisdom he has gained." This is because, according to Luke (16; l&), all that is great in the worhl is noth- ing in the sight of (Jod.

Purification of the heart is the pre|iaratinn neces nary to receive wisdom; but it is necessary to Hrst lead an active life, and afterward a life of contempla­tion. Wisdom shares the following gifts with men: It gives the Itfeed, knowledge or faith; it gives the key of hidden things, past and future; it gives the laws of all things in earth and in the heavens; it teaches how­to read the thoughts of men and to *|ieak all Ian guages. It is the Tree of Life; it shows the way to the Kingdom of tiod It confers the |s>wer to heal the nick and to |ierform miracles. It is the spirit of grace and prayer; it gives knowledge of the inner man and of Gist. The laud directly instructs the wise man in dreams of tin- night ami by visions; angels sometimes ap|s-ar to him. The man given to contem plation is sometimes ravished in ecstacv and sees the heavens o|»encd.

The author of this little treatise bears witness to the great favors which wisdom has bestowed on him. tiod shows him first the true way with the three de grees such as Jesus taught his disciples; then the manner of true prayer, and how to distinguish tin- enemies of tiod among his friends. After having re­ceived the sectmd degree of wisdom In- receives an art of inquiring, according to a certain preparation con­cerning tem|K»ral things in the future. With this de­gree he receives tin- hidden meaning of the Scriptures. The first method consists in writing a combination of

rHK M AO I.numbers or of a w«wd or sacred sign; the aeconn teaches to And seven senses of the same sentence These two method* surpass in ingenuity and depth all that Tritheme and P«*rta have written upon the subject. It is the discovery of the root of all Ian guages. and I have constructed a -Speculum Arche typum " which gives the senses of every imaginable word, then the key of all musical systems.

He has discovered in the same way why one meet- on this earth so many types of men, and be has con structed for this research another archetype. He hu< had visions like Kzekiel and the Apostle John, and h. has learned to speak and write in new tongues.

The third degree of wisdom reveals to him things above human comprehension: The secrets of the in tejior man; of the soul, its birth, the place where it dwells in the incarnate man; the life and death of the soul, and what will be the new body of our regem-r.! tion. The mystery of the Trinity was unveiled with it* correspondences, also the nature and constitution of spirits. He knew the hidden mystery of marriage and the fall, and what the symbol taught by baptism, the Lord's supper and the communion of saints. Ami more, God revealed to him the third world, the second coming of Christ, the millennium of the Apocalypse, the resurrection of the dead, the last judgment, tile disap|>earance of the universe and its renovation: of two |iersons who should come before that day; of the New Jerusalem, its construction and its religion; a new- understanding of Scripture, a new holy book, an evangel of the new alliance, a new law, a new sacri­fice, a new social state, a new physician, a new philos ophy and a new magic; and. ttnally. life everlasting, an unique religion ami an unique kingdom.

The author received mystical intelligence of the Scriptures and the revelation of their mystical sense He has given some of the secrets of the second degree in two manuscripts u|sm the new mystical theology and tile new reign of Christ upon the earth.

He was constantly brought into the knowledge of the opismition of human wisdom to the divine. He develo|ied the laws of the latter by citing a number o f sacred texts u|sin poverty, alms giving, humility ami trials. He ends by urging his readers not to put their faith in the shadow s of human wisdom but in the force of the Light, for the splendor which God gives will never grow dim.

Itefore closing this speciticatiou of general charac­teristics of tin- Rose Croix, let us recapitulate the documents that intellectual Initiation has left us

Kirst. Kabalistic tradition we find in a pamphlet entitled “ KtTroyable (taction." that gives the numl»- of the Rose Croix at thirty six centers. They were tiistrihuted in the following manner: Six at Paris, sixin Italy, six in S|>ain, twelve in Germany. four in Swe­den. and twelve in Switzerland. He adds that there are always twelve visible and twenty-four invisible: that they are the spiritual type of which the metnl» ' of the tribe of la*vi are the material symbols, accord

Among tlie Kabalists, their chiefs were Mose*. Aaron, !<evi, tlie priests and singers. They know men but men do not know them. The Hongs of Solomon contain their initiation from the Kahalistic point of view, as Prov­erbs holds the mysteries of the purifying life, and Kc- clesiastes that of the illuminative life.

‘'The Canticles hold the mysteries of the law and wisdom. And angels sing above in that way to the birth of Levi. After the birth of Levi, and later when Moses came to the world. Aaron was consecrated and the Levites and the singers de|>arted from the tribe of Levi. And they were consecrated and lived near that which they had to watch. And one |>art was consecrated by contact with the other. Those above and those below formed a unique choir, and the unique King rested on them."

The “ Shir ha Hhevme ” is the book of the Kosy- Cross.

This is why it is said that their state unites the ex­tremes of stability and movement, as the Holy Hpirit unites the extremes of the Father (eternal stability) and the Son (infinite vital movement). This is what is expressed in saying that their place of meeting is tlie temple of the Holy Ghost, and that they receive isith sacraments of the primitive and eternal church; the baptism of the Hpirit of which the Gospel speaks, and the full communion with the Word.

Fludd expresses in other terms the same ideas in many chapters of the Horn mom Ikmum.

The palace of the fraternity is that s|siken of in the Scripture, when it says; •• We rise to the mountain of reason and will build the house of wisdom. It is the true Horeb, the spiritual Zion. It is the house that the wise builds u|sm sure foundations and of which In­lays the foundations upon a rock. This rock is the Christ; God only builds the house.

“ We have, says the A|swtle, a house not built with hands but is a spiritual body which is prepared for the celestial eternity. One cannot lay any other founda­tion than that which is laid, which is the Christ.

"The sages of the Kosy-Cross and their spiritual dwelling is fully described by the Apostle, Christ him self the rock, and you build as living stones a spirit­ual dwelling, offering a Indy sacrifice agreeable to God by the mediation of Jesus Christ. And you the chosen lieoplea royal priesthood called from the shadow by his glorious light to announce his truths.

"The Bose of the Kosy-Cross is the bhssl of Christ by which our sins have been washed. It is the Bose of Sharon of the Canticles. It is that whicn orna­ments the secret garden. It >* the base in which the well of living waters has been dug. It is the love of Christ by which we come to know the length and breadth and elevation and depth of the love of Christ.’’—Kobert Fludd.

Fludd is not alone in his opinion; after him Cohau­sen seems also to believe the Kosy Cross when mani­fested is only a part of the total Kosy C r o s s .

“ Thomas Vaughan afterwards established a paral-

•* Nearer to us our deceased Master, the Marquise de Guita, expressed himself in magnificent terms u|mn the plane, the character and the mode of action of the true Kosy-Cross. See the words of this noble writer and gram) initiate. ‘The artist Klin* is infallible, immortal, untouched by the abundant contaminations and ridicule of humanity who seek to represent him. The spirit of light and progress Incarnates itself in beings of good will who evoke it. Do these stumble on the way? Already the artist Klias is nothing more to them.’

“ To make this superior Word false is as itn|maaible as to make his name false. Sooner or Inter he finds an organ worthy of him, if only fora moment, a mouth faithful and loyal though it hns time to pronounce but a word.

•* He this organ of election or be this mouth accident ally found what does it matter? His voice makes itself heard powerfully, and vibrates with serene and decisive authority that gives to the human word Inspi­ration from on high.

“ !<et us beware of the false traditional spirit of the order, for sooner or later we will Is- rejected here be low by the mysterious demiurge which the order sa lutes by the name, ‘ Klias the Artist.’

“ He is not the Light, but, like John the llaptint, his mission is to bear witness to the light of glory, which will shine from a new heaven ujion a rejuvinnted earth. Thus he manifests himself by counsels of force and clears away the pyramid of old traditions, disfigured by their rubbish and debris, the accumulation of twenty centuries.

“ And, lastly, by him the ways are opened for the coming of tlie glorious Christ, in the clouds by which he vanished."

Dr. Fran/. Hartmann, after having expressed the opinion that one could not find the Kosy-Cross living upon earth, proclaims that they form a spiritual so­ciety. of which the consciousness is in the heavens and who, taking Isslies on the earth, by intervals, esca|s‘ the investigation of the historian; but their fraternity, ac cording to their own testimony, has existed from the first day of creation, when Cod said, '■ lad there be light.’ A society of the children of light, of which the Issly is formed of light and who always live In the light, they are instructed by divine wisdom, the heav­enly bride. All the sages who have ever lived have studied in that school. They will be scattered not only u|Min this earth but throughout the universe They have but one l*s»k and one method. Their tern pie is everywhere, and they are held together by a fire which nourishes them, and which is thaumaturgic Thus all things are submitted to them because flieir will is identical with the law.

We have now entered within the starry abyss of the mystic where tlie great heights make us dizzy; hrhold how we reach it. The admirable Kuystroeck has -le scribed with a rare truth of expression the superior states of tlie spiritual life. T hese are th e degrees o* which he speaks in tlie following pages

They are covered with |N>rtraita which represent their |>er- son* and their actiona. ami tlieae picturea come be­tween their aoula and God. Although they feel the divine union in the effuaion of their love, they have neither the idea nor the love of aimple trana|airt; the unconaciouaneaaof aimply lleing ia a stranger tu t Inin Thus their Interior life, even at ita highest momenta, is chained by reaaon and human eatimatea. They know and distingnish intellectual |aiwera quite well hut aimple contemplation of the divine light ia a mva- tery to them. They adilreaa themaelvea to God in the ardor of their love but tliia propriety, im|a-rfect in ita nature, hlmlera them front burning in the lire, lie- aolved to aerve tiial and love him always, they atill have not the dealre for a aublimc death, which ia the eaaence of the (itallike life.

They guard all their love for interiorVonaolationa and Imperfect blina. Tliia la why they atop on the way, renting themaelvea before the myaterioua death and losing the crown that pure love placeaon the bead of the conqueror.

Ah! the diatance between the aecret friend and the myaterioua child la great. It ia aliaolutely necessary to guard tile Interior love. Thua we will await with joy the coming of Christ and the judgment of tiial. Itut even In the exercioe of our activity we die to our- uelveu and to all that belong* to ua; then. trana|airted alaive all by the excessive sublimity of the living spirit, we aun-ly feel in ua the |a-rfection of the chil­dren of tiial. Anil tin- spirit will touch ua without a mediator, for we will be in the state of innocence.

The re integration of the incarnate man in all the privileges of his primitive celestial state ia described in the A|aa'alypse by the marriage of the latmbanil the New Name. The curious will find admirable tie velopmenta of this in the works of Gichtel.

The White Stone and the New Name.To the conquerors, says the Holy Spirit, “ I will

give the hidden manna and the white stone with a new name which no one knows save he who receives it.” The conqueror is in- who has crossed, outgrown him­self and all things. The hidden manna is a celestial joy. The stone is a white stone so small that one could step u|am many without injury. Tin- stone is white and brilliant as a round dame, infinitely small, polished ou every side, astonishingly light. One of the symbols of the stone is Jesus t'hrist. Jesus is the clearness of the eternal light: he is the splendor of the Father; he is the mirror without blot in whom all live. To the transcendant conqueror the white stone is given, carrying with it magnificence, life and truth.

The stone resembles a (lame. The love of the etern.i I Word is a love of Are: this tire has Ailed the world ami wishes that all minds burn with it. The Hon . . f

«;<N| has justified the e tymology of the word calculus. Obedient unto the death of the Cross, he has liumili a ted himself: no longer man but a worm of the ground, despised by human kind and condemned by the popu lace. He lias |iut himself under the feet of the Jew. who have trampled upon him without feeling it. If they had known I Sod they would not have erected hi> cross. To-day Jesus ia little or nothing in all the hearts who do not love him. This magniAcent little stone is round and equally radiant upon all Aide. The form of the sphere symbolises eternal truth with­out beginning or end. This equality of aspect, p l ­acated by all sides of the s|>herical form, indicate-. justice, which weighs all with equity, rendering to eat It his due. He who receives this white stone will guard it eternally. The eternal Word weighs noth ing; it sustains, by its power, heaven and earth; it is within each and known to none. Jesus is the eldest son of the creatures and his excellence surpasses all: he manifests himself, to whom he will, by his peculiar power. Our humanity is mounted above the heavens ami sits at the right hand of the Father. The white stone in given to the contemplator; it bears the new name which only he knows who receives it.

Every soul that turns towards Ood receives its own name. The name depends upon the dignity, more or less excellent, of the soul's virtues and the height of its love.

Our Arst name that of our innocence, which we re­ceive at baptism, is adorned with the merits of J e s u s Christ. If we return to Ond after this baptismal inm> cence is Inst we will receive, from the Holy Kpirit. a new name and that will be our eternal name

All that we have said is contained in a small book by the liosicrucian, Kckartshausen This book equals in satisfaction, for the needs of the soul, “ The Imita­tion of Christ,” by Thomas a Kempis. He says:

“ The interior church exists, in the invisible plane from the creation of the world to the end of time The members of this church belong only to the earth ami are taught by the Holy Spirit. Its end is to pre- pare the kingdom of God; it is, by its inAuence. that all light is descended ujton the earth. In its initiation and constitution it is hierarchical.

The Arst and lowest degree consists in good morals, by which the simple will, subordinated to God, is con ducted bv tin- pure motive and will of Jesus Christ that is received by faith. The means by which the spirit of this school acts is called inspiration

The second degree consists in the intellectual rea­son, by which the understanding of man who is united to God is crowned with wisdom and the light of knowl ­edge. The means by which the spirit does this is called the illumination of the interiors.

The third ami highest degree is the entire opening of our interior sensorium. by which the interior man arrives at the objective vision of real and metajdiys- ical truths. This is the highest degree, where faith becomes vision, and the means by which the spirit acts are real visions.

T h ese art- the three degrees of the true school of in­terior wisdom of the interior community of light. The -amt' spirit which ri|iens men for this community dis tributes also their degrees by their united action.

This interior sch<s»l makes itself known according to circumstances to exterior schools, who receive it according to their ca|>acity. Members are never con­voked or nnited in a Issly unless necessary. I osl is the chief and obeyed by all. whatever be the work as­signed to them. Kntrance to this school is in our­selves, but one only finds the door when ri|ie, that is to say, when one has become truly humble and has died to self and has confidence in the goodness of the Father.

TRUK AND FALSE THEOSOPHY.An Answer to the Perverted Conceptions of Two

Unfriendly and Prejudiced Critics.B Y M A I t t lH . I I I , I AN .

To t h k K i i it o b S t a i< o r THK MaoI: Under the fol­lowing sensational heatllines, the T h in h r ofJune 21st announces: ‘'The Altsurdities of Theoso­phy Demonstrated; the Cardinal Principles| !| of The­osophy comprehensively explained by two Thoughtful Mintls |!| Hon. K. A. Hague, a Californian, and Hr. J. M. Peebles furnish such information | ?j on the sub ject aw will greatly interest Spiritualists.'' As a stu­dent of Theosophy I wish to say that if our Spiritual istic fri'-nds depend upon such effusions for their knowledge of Theosophic teachings, their general ig­norance of the subject is no longer a cause of surprise.

Instead of replying, ««/ m-rMim. to the misconcep­tions of these two writers, probably a brief outline of the general trend of Theosophic thought would Is- more helpful to those who would know somewhat of the teachings of the Wisdom-Keligion Theosophymay be approached from many sides the ethical, the philosophic, the scientific and the religious. In the very nature of tilings. Theosophy cannot lie popular with the unthinking masses. For many generations yet to come it will Is- confined t o ‘‘ the philosophic few.” Camille Plammariou tells us that of tile one billion four hundred million inhabitants of the earth. n in r tr rn - t w m t irth* n r n r th in k n t >tll: they are merely shallow receptacles for the thoughts of the -‘thinking twentieth." Htudents of Theosophy are quite willing toaccept Flammarion's unflattering statistics.

In the first place.it is necessary to distinguish lie tween “ Theosophy " I /'/«-<. s.,/#/<«>, Hi vine Wisdomi and “ The Tbeosophical Society.'' The first is a body of teachings, handed down through the ages from time immemorial, known under different names in different lands and times, but always distinguished by certain fundamental truths, common to all, and a general spirit of eclecticism. This Wisdom Keligion is seen in the Hrahma-Vidya of India; in the teachings of the Ituddha, especially those preserved by the Xart hern school; in the teachings of Lao-Tze. Hie great mystic of China : the Sufis show it to us in its Persian dress;

T H K M A O I .

we trace it in the philosophy of Pythagoras and of Plato; in the Orphic mysticism of ancient tiroece; in the teachings of the Kgyptian Hermes Trismegistus; in the general (inosticism of early Christianity, and the Uosicrucians and various other mystic brother hoods of the middle ages preserved its traditions. This general Issly of teachings as to the nature of ex istence. both cosmic and individual, is now known un­der its ancient • ireek name of “ T h ru -snpAhf," or, as now universally used, “ Theosophy."

Mute. H. P. Illavatsky did not I n ir n t Theosophy, site merely n rirn l this ancient Wisdom In the Western World when, in l*7.\ she and Col. II. H. Oleott founded the Tbeosophical Society in New York city. The ob­jects of the Tbeosophical Society are as follows:

First. To form a nucleus of the universal brotherInssl of humanity, without distinction of race, .......I,sex, caste, or color.

Second. To encourage the study of comparative re­ligion, philosophy and science.

Third. To investigate unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent In man.

No member of the Tlleosophlcal Society lias tile right to speak f u r th r S n r M f im n IkkIii. Kilt'll member is free to investigate truth as lie sees it und is expected to extend to others the same toleration that he de­mand* for himself. That the Society lias suffered from the intolerance and aggressive personalities of many of its memls-rs is a well known fact, hut “ short comings in an advocate do not necessarily vitiate the theories advocated.”* Herbert Spencer tells us that “ human ex|ieriences are marked by three stages: First, the unanimity of the ignorant; second, the dis­agreement of tile inquiring; third, the unanimity of tile wise.” Hence, during tile stage of inquiry (tin- stage of the vast majority of mankind at presenti we may expect more or less discord. Thus each student of Theosophy will unconsciously color, more or less, with his own personality, the teachings of the Ancient Wisdom. Only the soul that has risen above the lim­its of tile |iersonality can Is-expected to give an inter­pretation that will Is-entirely free from personal bias.

The general principles ii| mmi which Theosophy rests may Is- broadly stated as follows:

First. One eternal, infinite, incognizable, real Kx istence.

Second. From /'/.»(, the manifested Und; unfolding from unity to duality, from duality to trinity.

Third. From the manifested Trinity, many spiritual Intelligences, guiding the cosmic order.

Fourth, Man a reflection of the Manifested tiod, therefore /«»</«/«/«/<///;/ a trinity, his inner and real Keif bring eternal one with the Self of the universe.

In order to gain anything of an idea of the Theosophic teaching a* to ysd-aw fm states of con­sciousness, It is necessary to understand the teachings as to the “ Planes of Nature. ” Thi* involves the the ory of the “ Interpenetration of matter.’* Only the broadest of crude outlines can be here attempted. Brlefiy. the theory is thla: There are seven Planes of Nature, and states of consciousness corres|Minding with the condition* of matter of each Plane.

These Planes, or states of matter, httrrytmrtmft: the Hner inter|ieiietratlng the coarser, or denser, and at the same time extending beyond.

The names given to these Planes are:

Astral Body, or Desire-Body •• ..Astral or Psychic.I Dense Physical Body; Ktheric Double (ve­

hicle of’ Prana Life Principle)......... PhysicalNormal human evolution- 1, 2 and 8.

The above table will give some sort of an idea of what is meant by the Theosophic use of the word *' spiritual.” Students of Theosophy do not consider the phenomena of the ordinary seance-room as being ''sp iritual.” They reserve the use of that word for an evolution that |iertains to the highest of human de­velopment and to the super human kingdom.

Much of the phenomena of the ordinary seance-room are not only purely psychic phenomena but are of a very W psychic order at that. Students of Theoso­phy do not deny the genuineness of the phenomena produced by the aid of the medium, but deplore the re­sults—as witness the effects on the average medium and the intellectual stagnation of the ordinary Spirit­ualist. Students of Theosophy assert that the only mtfr way to develop the astral consciousness is to bring the astral body under the control of the will, f*. pmrifp it (by purifying the desires, appetites and (Missions) so

I must refer the reader to Mr. Lead beater's Astral P lane” and “ Clairvoy­ance ” for a brief yet comprehensive explanation of astral and etheric phenomena

Now as to the question of “ authority.” As stu | dents of The<»*o|»hy advance ia their studies and in

living “ the Theosophic Life” (which means a con stant effort to control the lower nature, and the mind, and to live, as far as possible, a life of altruism), they And a gradual and constant expansion of conscious ness, so that the experience* on the Astral Plane (dur. ing sleep at night) become more and more vivid, im plying the power to impress these experiences on tin- physical brain consciousness, until, finally, the student And* himself able to leave his physical body in /n il coimrkmanrm. This implies the control of the Astral Body. In order to reach the astral consciousness, tin- ordinary medium ha* to be -‘entranced,” or “ con­trolled.” implying a temporary paralysing of tin- physical faculties and a yielding of the physical body, with its Ktheric Double, to the tender mercies of som. Astral Kntity, who mtip. and who mop not. be a safe guide. If the medium were one who responded only to the beat of astral vibrations, whose physical, astral and mental bodies were, in a measure, purified and under the control of the wise, then the danger would be reduced to a minimum. But the ordinary twaddle of the seance-room often shows a preponderance of -slum entities,” whose company a decent person would shun were they in physical bodies, but who are received with open arms because they are ••nphiln." Man is no more of a “ spirit ” when in his artral body than when in his /thpnk-ol. He is the ■me man. with the same appetite*. desires and passions. A fool does not become a sage simply because he has discarded, for a time, the heaviest of his clothes (his physical body); that is accomplished by the slow process we call rrohtlbiH.

In concluding this very hasty and imperfect sketch of some of the teachings of the Wisdom-Religion, 1 would ask all fair minded seekers for what they call “ tru th " to study the Theosophic literature earr/oli'i before they pass judgment on what is labeled ” tin- absurdities of Theosophy.” The “ absurdities " may- lie in their own conceptions of the teachings and not in the teachings themselves. A careful and intelligent reading of the “ Ancient Wisdom.” “ The Path of Dis- c ip le sh ip .-T h e Culture and Coutrol of Thought.” by Mrs. liesant. and “ The Astral Plane," “ The Deva- chanic Plane.” and *• Clairvoyance." by Mr. Lead- beater. will give the (lerson of average intelligence a good general idea of some of the elementary teaching* of Theosophy.

THE FACTORS OF COSMIC ASTROLOGY.Mr. Hugh will not contend, I suppose, that, If he hml

iteen born on the Hun. the planets would cease to point the vicissitudes of his existence. Hut to then apply hin present Ptolemaic astrological principles he would have to consider the Karth as a planet instead of its moon, substitute‘•»«wf/«(/” for “ retrograde " planets and regard the Hun as a “ constant." He might be so astonished and delighted with these few amendments to his present stand|K>int that he may non■ say, with my hearty approval. “ I was, ttqfbrlwscrfWff fa r my gen- <nitric prior if tie*, born on a planet at some distance from its poles and not on the Hun. ”

In our last article we said: “ If Astrology is a true science its laws, self evidently, must Is- i»i»erative at the'Poles as well as at the Equator. True Geocentric Astrology must apply to creep /mint of the rut ire sur­face of the Karth." As so-called ‘‘geocentric" As­trology <!<«-« nut so apply, ire are now obliged, as con­sistent advocates of Astrology, to find and present a scientific basis u|ton which its eternal laws may fie fully and truly discovered and developed so as to flos­se s* a romfiletr Geocentric application.

Anything short of this sublime end of the natural evolution of the divine science will fail and crumble through its inherent incompleteness. With multiply­ing evidences of a hidden splendor that springs from some central and glorious Truth, the faithful disciple of the secret science of the stars must, at last, lay his •piest aside with a heavy heart and an unsatisfied bun gerof soul. The fault is not that of his illustrious ami immortal predecessors, guidesand teachers, whose scholarly work* adorn his possession*. They also sensed the hidden glory and wrought as best they knew to conserve the rays that glimmered through the veil of Isis. It would be a crime to condemn their works because they fail to dissi|>ate speculation’s heavy cloud or answer infallibly the thousand queries that unitedly and fiersistently demand answer. In the future—when her veil is lifted and the glory of her face shines freely forth Astrology will sit enthroned in her (kismic Temple, the stones of which- whether oval, oblong or square—will contain the names of a m . who have loved her and followed, as best they could, her starry banner of blue.

Ho let us both honor and hold fast to the old Masters of Hermetic Art. Let us not lay up our sacred herit.

age from them, however, ana finality, la't us worthily endeavor to realise the prophetic ideals they were in spired by. ideals that animate and inspire every true disciple of the “ hidden glory." Let us not despise any avenue that may lead to the light or any |« r t ol it. I*et us not condemn, n firmer as materialistic sci enlists condemn us any way untrod by Ptolemy and others simply because they knew or cared nothing for it or had no opportunity to walk therein. Let ua set our faces toward the Light in whatever direction she may ap|iear, in whatever guise she may assume. In whatever form she may lie incarnate. Ix*t us seek her faithfully, earnestly, |iersistently, reasonably, with every resource, help and implement of science, Intelll gence and art. until her " hidden glory " is revealed. Thus will we best honor the thought and toll of such masters as Lilly, Napier. Coley. Morin and Kepler.

The heliocentric constitution of our solar system pre sents a scientific basis U|Min which the generic princi pies of Cosmic Astrology must finally rest for their sure demonstration and, for us who are " born on the earth,” geocentric application.

| of astrological significance which, as to the Karth, influence both its entire body and mrfurr. Thus the heliocentric complements the geocentric system, and these are the two prime factors, I take it, that will ultimately blend and give birth to the now •* hidden glory " of Cosmic Astrology. Let its Light shine!

With this digression ended I turn once more to the subject of the Astral Number. I have now secured a page for page and line for line MHH. of O. H.
