by the process of consumption, gener-
ates life forces which radiate in regular
pulsations of his heart to each globe
and thus arouses from latency the
dormant forces sleeping in each, the to-
tai result of which process and its re-
action is the condition of all planets in
his system.
'"The sun breathes, which means that
it expands and contracts once in every
eleven years. Expansion Qn-breathing)
causes its apparent flames to shoot out
into space; contraction -breathlng)
produces deep cavities or creases upon
its surface, called sun spots. The. earth
also breathes or pulsates, its cycle being
twelve hours, thus causing the surface
Of the earth to rise and fall and produc-
ing the ebb and flow of the ocean tides
The moon has little, if anything, TO 90
with causing the tides.
THE real sun is invisible and is the
throbbing heart of our solar system.
The flames, fires and rays, appearing as
such, are the suns nerves governing the
muscles of its body, the planets OF It's
W hole system.
There is but one force acting in,
through and upon matter. 1t is the
universal life force-call it Deity-Whlch
radiates throughout cosmos, causing
every atom and molecule to pulsate with
conscious life. Expansion and contrac-
ton, centripetal and centrifugal, action
and reaction, in-breathing and out
breathing, attraction and repul-
Ision, involution and evolution, are
synonymous terms There is, therefore,

no blind or unconscious law. Law is
the mode of motion of force; force Is
thought or consciousness IN manlIeSla-
ton: thought is the reflection of divine
lideation as cognized and active IN man
and nature. The material universe Is
the embodied consciousness of Deity. IN
each molecule is imprisoned a SOUL
which is a concrete expression OF the
Over Soul The former ever tends 10
become the latter. The material uni
verse is the outer garb, the other halt or
Deity. and all worlds, systems and bod,
les exist as means by which the souls
residing in each of them evolve. All
forms are destined to serve the sour
evolution, then to decay and dlslnteg-
rate while the soul endures forever and
builds other and more perfected forms
for its further evolution.
Our sun has passed through the first
of its three stages. It was formed from
star dust by planetary spirits and ca
reered through space as a comet, and is
now in it's second stage, a sun. 1t is
older than the planets of its system,
though not so old as the moons, which
are the satellites of the planets. Our
moon, like others, is a fragment of an
old, one-timed sun, and is the mother of
our earth AS the present period OF our
solar evolution draws to its close, ages
hence, the sun will gradually diminish
in force and radiance, and finally fly
into myriads of fragments, each one OF
which will whirl for cons through space
as a comet or meteor, collect world stun
as it whrls, and ultimately take posi-
ton in a higher system, the formation
of whose central sun has been described.
AS such the fragment Will emit its life
force into space, thus forming a new
center of consciousness and energy,
about which will aggregate world stuff
to form another physical body in which
the soul of the fragment will reincar-
nate, leaving the old body as a moon, or
dead planet.
THE physical sun is the body of a
spiritual entity-the real sun-which
latter was once a soul in the human
stage millenniums ago. AS the soul of
man requires many different bodies and
lives many different earth lives in its
process of evolution, so the soul of the
sun and all other souls, for the same
laws of evolution, whose process is re-
incarnation, govern cosmic contents"
