1For example, any person bom under and controlled by the Martial electricity, which corresponds to the element of fire, will prove antagonistic by nature to anybody and everybody who is governed by the Saturine principle. They will not blend and mingle. The most gentle and loving spirit that it is possible for the healer to exercise under such circumstances will recoil from the odylic sphere of the other like a thunderbolt, and the mental physician will feel this recoil and want of success, right in the center of the solar plexus. The science of the stars alone contains the real secrets of the healing art divine. CHAPTER II THE SOLAR FORCE “And the Lord set a mark upon Cain lest anyone finding him should kill him.” Genesis, Chap. IV
2At this stage it is necessary to explain several matters of great importance in forming a true conception of astral law. The reader must not suppose that the planets are the primary causes of the fortunes and misfortunes which fall to the lot of mankind generally. This is by no means the case; for the primary cause has its origin within the soul sphere of our parents. The sexual relationship between man and woman has its laws, its harmonies and discords. It is man’s duty to investigate, learn these laws, and follow them, especially so when we bear in mind the fact that there is neither morality nor sentiment in the cold inflexible justice of Nature. “Unto every violation of the law there is meted out a penalty.” If the attributes of a thief are conceived, a thief will ultimately be born into the world. It matters not what the circumstances or position in life may be, that individual so conceived will be a thief in his heart, and will commit thefts upon some plane or other. Remember, there is no real difference, except in magnitude, between the man who legally by some commercial sharp practice steals a railroad; and the one who, to support his position in life and before the world, lives above his income to the detriment of his creditors; or the poor devil who, under the influence of criminal temptations, robs a bank or steals your watch. All three, when viewed in their true light, are natural born thieves, and each equally deserving, if justice were impartial, of the same term of penance in the house of correction. The false glamor and artificial conventionalities of modern society, however, praise and bow down in adoration to the gifted railroad thief; they pity and condole as unfortunate the man who, by living above his honest income, terminates his career in bankruptcy; but they, with neither pity nor mercy, hurry off to the jail and the treadmill the poor wretch who steals a watch or robs a bank of a few paltry dollars, when, as a rule, it is this one who is most deserving of our sympathy. Ignorance and a neglected childhood may have intensified the evil

It is equally in accordance with the same immutable laws that every species of crime is bom into the world. When inflamed passions and cruel thoughts are latent within us, and remain un¬ controlled by the higher self during the conjugal union, we must not be surprised if a child with a similar nature is conceived. When such is the case, there is no benevolent God to graciously interfere and prevent a criminal from being launched upon society. Man has the privilege and possesses the possibilities of choosing the good, and preventing the conception of evil. Therefore if he, either from choice or ignorance, prefers to risk all the natural conse¬ quences, Mother Nature, who is no respecter of persons, will write murderer across the brow of the unborn infant in characters as indelible as the mark she inflicted upon Cain.
