The magnetic elementals are intelligent spirits known by various names; such as fairies, fauns, elves, nymphs, etc. One very important distinction must be noticed here; between sub-mundane and super¬ mundane realms on the one hand; and cosmic elementals and mag¬ netic elementals on the other hand; viz., that the two former are vari¬ ous degrees of human soul life; hence possess the germs of immor¬ tality, when the human state is attained; while the two latter are not souls; and although they depend upon the soul of man for their differ¬ entiated existence, yet they do not derive their supply of sustenance from him; but from the latent forces within the planet, of each orb, of the planetary chain; hence, they live only so long as the planet is able to sustain them. Therefore, they are not immortal. When the planet has fulfilled its material purpose, they, along with the orb which gave them life, become a thing of the past.
2We have now reached a most important link in our mystical chain, viz.: since embodied man is the highest form of manifested existence upon the planet, he is the grand polarizing point for all four of the forms of existence, we have been describing. The human organism is, therefore, the grand radiating center upon which the two vast realms, stellar and psychic, impinge; and is the material link, uniting the soul and the stars. Thus, in very truth, is man the microcosm; and the sacred adytum of the mysteries.
3In order to render this more manifest, let us now endeavor to form as clear an idea as possible of the nature and modus operandi of stellar influx, as transmitted to man from our solar system; for, when we comprehend that portion of the mystical chain, then we can form some faint conception of the continued and unbroken chain, which binds our solar system to other systems and constellations; on and on, to the very interior of the soul, of the universe. First, then, stands our Sun; and around it, like a group of obedient children, are the seven planets of the mystical chain; (there are more than seven planets in the solar system, but only seven in each octave of life); each orb giving birth to an entirely different degree of life; so that the seven mystical de¬ grees are completed. Each orb produces innumerable types of fauna and flora, corresponding to the action of its own peculiar grade of spiritual force.
