Roentgen's discovery. Her death oc
cured in 1891.
In writing about the discoveries to bf
made in the near future, she sad they
would be along the line OF chemistry ano
physics. She also said that the charac
terlstics of matter are related to the hui
man senses. Matter has extension.
color, motion, taste and smell cores
pondlng to the existing senses. The
next characteristic OF matter to be dis
covered she termed "permeabiliry"
which would correspond to the coming
new sense, normal clairvovance.'
This new characteristic Of matter
would show that solids can pass
through or permeate other solids. Nine
Blavatsky illustrated this fact by caus-
ing a gold ring to pass into a locked bu-
e drawer and in other ways. The ex
periments Of Nickola Tesla and others
prove that Science is now discovering
that such phenomina can be performed.
The shoulder Of a mar has been photo
graphed through clothing, a plate OF
glass and two inches Of wood. Tesla
says: II am getting more and con-
WINGED that we have to deal with a
stream of material particles which strike
the sensitive plate with great veloclties."
TESLA IS UNCERTAIN
whether the particles OF the object are
themselves projected through the inter
veding substances or they merely Chit
the inner surface and cause particles
from the opposite side to fly off, as
when a ROY of Ivory balls are struck"
The theosoph1cal philosophy shows
that the former IS the case and explains
how and why it is so.
The explanation Of photography is
found IN the vibratorv condition of all
matter. Sir E. Ball, the eminent Eng
lish scientist relates that if the persep-
tive power of the human eve were in
creased a million times we should per-
cieye the molecules OF the diamond
striking each other and rebounding. The
rate OF vibration OF glass is much lower,
and the diamond cuts glass because it's
more rapid vibrations disrupt those OF
the glass.
Scientists admit that electricity is
matter. Electricians tell US that as
m any as ten messages can be sent stimuli
taneously from New York to London
and vice versa upon the same cable pro-
vided currents OF electricity of different
densities are used. In other words, if
the currents OF electricity differ in their
rates OF vibration, they do not interfere
with but permeate each other uninter-
ruptedly.
The rationale of this has been taught
for years in theosophy and can be found
in Nine Blavatsky's" Key to ~Theosophv"
under the heading, "The Seven Princi-
pies OF Man." and is further elaborated
in the 'Secret Doctrine" and other
works. The philosophy tells Of
SEVEN GLOBES ON MATTER
differing from each other in rates OF vi
bration, advancing from the material
world to the most rapld-the spiritual.
These globes permeate each uther
around US. Corresponding with these,
man has seven principles. He has the
spiritual, the highest; and in order Of
decreasing vibrations, soul, mind. de-
sire, vitality, astral or nerve body and
physical budy. These principles per-
meate each other IN man. He is con.
scious IN one principle and on one globe
ct - time. While awake ne is conscious
in the physical body and in the material
world. When asleep he passes to a
higher principle on q higher globe. and
this material body and world are non-
existent for him. Hypnotic experiments
confirm that there are several distinct
states OF consciousness in man, as it
we're different personalities existing to-
gether but unknown to each other.
Sound teaches the same lesson.
