even the materialist with glimpses o.
the Great Beyond, and each day phe
nomena of the invisible (clairvoyance
clairaudience, telepathy, hypnotism
psychometry) are better known and
more universally acknowledged as
facts, where few years back, they
only called for ridicule and clerical OF
scientific denunciation. But they are
yet little understood and must be
looked upon with misgivings outside
of Theosophy." This is quite correct
because as Mercury expressed it QI

passing into magic" and, in ignorant
hands, we know magic is sure to slide
into Black Art. So the present scien-
tific achievements may become a
danger, perhaps even curse, to hui
manity, if not illumined by the light
of Theosophy. At any rate, to use
III. p. BIS. words, such facts as the
Y ray will certainly be "a death blow
to the old materialistic theories, for,
if there is in Nature an invisible
light" capable of penetrating through
the densest matter, why cannot the
human soul-which is the essence of
invisible" light-also be able to pass
through matter, thus justifying and
explaining clairvoyance and hypnotic
penetration? Moreover, this same dis
covery corroborates another teaching
of the Secret Doctrine" viz: that "ab-
solute light is to us, absolute dark
ness" Then again, there is another
singular fact made patent by it: that,
while glass is the most transparent,
pervious of all material substances to
the ordinary light, it is one of the
most impervious to the X ray, as il
also is to the human psychic con-
seriousness. 1t is a fact known to all
mesmerists, magnetisers and hypnot-
lists, that the soul consciousness of a
person placed in magnetic trance
can permeate through nearly all mat
ter, except glass; in the writer's own
experiments, he has never been able
to make the consciousness of a mag
netized subject pass through sheet
or a vessel of glass, it has to sc
around it, and this would seem to in.
dictate a certain unknown relationship
between the nature of the new X ray
and that of the soul or it's sheaths.
