1From these seven colors are formed every conceivable shade and tint in the infinite variety of combinations, found in the infinite variety of human beings; each and all depending upon the ever changing positions of the stars, and also upon the corresponding magnetic states of our atmosphere at their respective moments of birth. The color and magnetic polarity of this odylic sphere are fixed, quick as lightning’s flash, at the first moment of our separate material existence. This true moment is, generally, when the umbilical cord is severed, and the child exists as a separate being, independent of its mother. Until that time the body is polarized by the soul force of its parent, and the planets can only influence it by reflex action from the mother’s organism. But when the tie is severed, the lungs become inflated with the magnetic atmosphere, charged with the stellar influx, and in an instant the whole organism thrills with the vibrations of celestial power. These vibrations produce, in each of the concentric rings of the sphere, the exact tint and shade of color corresponding to the harmonious or discordant rays of the heavens at the time.
2These vibrations, once in action, retain their special polarity for the whole tenor of earthly existence. They form the key note of the musical instrument which is ever sounding forth the harmony or discord of its material destiny. This key note is either high or low according to the particular influences which may be operating upon it at the time. At one time the life forces may be so low that the note will be too faint for the most sensitive clairaudient to detect; at other times the throbbing pulsations of life will be so strong with physical vitality that it will swell into the highest octave, and launch forth such potent health giving vibrations as to affect other bodies near it, and draw therefrom responsive vibrations, thus giving life and health to others, in harmony with but weaker than itself. But, should the bodies with which it comes in contact be naturally an¬ tagonistic to it, in temperament and magnetic polarity, then, instead zed jy Google 210 THE LIGHT OF EGYPT of responsive harmony, their contact will produce fierce jarring commotions of discord to the detriment of both, the weaker being the greater sufferer.
3The action and inter-action of planetary influx upon the human being after birth is determined upon the same lines. When a planet, by its progressive motion reaches a point on the sphere where it forms an inharmonious angle with the angular vibrations set in motion at birth, magnetic discord is produced. This magnetic storm, so to say, awakens and sets in motion the cosmic and other elementals corresponding in their nature to the primary cause, and external mis¬ fortune and trouble are the material results; and vice versa, should the planets form benefic rays, etc. This is the true secret of planetary influence so far as what is termed good and bad luck. It is magnetic harmony or discord. From the above, the student will see what a fearful mistake so called “Christian Scientists” and metaphysical healers make, unless they truly understand the Occult principles of Nature. It is utterly impossible for antagonistic natures to benefit each other mentally, no matter how good or pure they, as individuals, may be. To attempt to do this is like trying to make oil and water harmonize; this is the true secret of the mental healer’s lack of success with certain individuals.
