1of the other six; only that, these six forces are latent; in so far as to lend all their force, for the more complete manifestation of the domi¬ nating one. Hence it follows, that our earth contains, in addition to its own dominating degree of life, the latent forces of the various grades of life active upon the other planets; so that Mars, Venus, Mercury, etc., are here with us; just as much as they are in the far off spaces. Herein is contained the great mystery of planetary in¬ fluence upon man; for man, as before stated, is the highest type of life upon the globe; and becomes the great radiator of the different grades of life of the seven planets, comprised within the one he in¬ habits, His sensitive sphere becomes the means of arousing count¬ less races of astro-magnetic elementals into life and motion; and also, into obedient servitude; if he only possesses the knowledge to direct them; for each grade of planetary influx renders service and protection to the corresponding grade of men. Thus; Mars to the martial natures, Saturn to the saturnine, and Jupiter to the jovial, and so forth. The interior secrets of the talisman and the mysteries of magic are con¬ cealed here; and the portals are open, for the soul’s exploration. This also, is the philosophic basis for the various statements that; certain planets rule certain soul attributes, mental qualities, physical instincts, classes of animals, plants, herbs, trees, minerals, precious stones, etc.
2The reader who has followed us thus far, is now invited to join us in a short trip to the astral world and there behold man as he pre¬ sents himself to the vision of the seer. A most wonderous and dazzling picture is before us, undreamed of mysteries connected with the human form divine. Let us examine more closely. First, we observe, that from the spinal column of the stately form of man; and from the base of his luminous brain; issue living streams of vitalizing force; which, as they flow from the various points of his odylic sphere; be¬ come refracted into the seven rays of the spectrum. These rays of living force from different individuals, become mutually attracted toward each other; each color blends with its kindred color from other organisms, and gravitates to its own particular level in the prismatic ocean of life; until the whole of this mighty planet, with its millions of human beings scattered over its throbbing surface; presents to the eye of the initiated seer a perfect network of luminous springs, creeks, rivers, and oceans of force; flowing from the radiating organism of man. We also observe; that these luminous oceans gradually assume THE UNION OF TOE SOUL AND THE STARS 287
3the form of a spiral belt, which encircles the planet—penetrating to its very center; and then expands itself, mist-like, within the planet’s atmosphere; where a prismatic reflection is cast around the earth; constituting a sort of astral rainbow (if we may use such a term); which is strictly confined within the limits of the planet’s gaseous envelope. This prismatic reflection is the astro-magnetic sphere, where¬ in are formed the astral zones of the magnetic elementals, of planetary influx, to which we have previously referred, as forming the grand mystic links in the chain of life; which binds the organism of man to the soul of the stars. So far, we have only beheld our human duplex mirror from the spinal column and the base of the brain; as he reflects the astral in¬ flux from his body to the lower octave of life, termed sub-mundane; we will now, therefore, regard the other half; or polar opposite sur¬ face of our duplex mirror; wherein, the stellar forces are reflected from the soul to the higher octave of life; the realms of super-mun¬ dane beings.
