that he had been exalted" by the satisfaction
Of his appetite. AS It Is with many other things,
some a~ppetites are good aud some are naughty.
Theosophists call naughty a~ppetites "the de-
mands of the baser SELF" Exaltation produced
by satisfaction of the baser sells demands
brings yogis to minister to 1t. 1t is the yogis
which thicken the tongue and mislead the feet
and upset the centre of gravity of the bibulous
one. 1t is the yogi which enters the police.
mans soul and causes him to eye the so-called
inebriate with suspicion. 1t is the yogis that
hammer on his head the next morning.
Ths good appetite, as contrasted to the
naughty, is that for the 'higher life" Now
there is just one way to satisfy these demands.
1t is to think and think and think. Most Of
tho thinking must be on thoughtful subjects.
When one has thought so fast and SO %continu.
ously and SO hard that he sees things that other
people cannot see than he is exalted" in the
right way. He Is q Theosophist. There are
persons who have attained this state who
didn't know that they were Theosophists. and
have been locked up mistakenly in asylums.
When q Theosophist has thought long enough
he begins to look very wise. After the sem.
blance of wisdom, as o blossom follows the bud.
comes a great outpouring Of language. spoken
and written. The perfected Theosophist then
becomes able to say such things as this:
"In order to help others to realize what no
bility there is in ones calling, 1t is necessary to
teach the fundamental doctrine that each hu.
man being Is an integral unit Of the aggregate
whole Of the universe. and that the particular
work one is engaged in is the outcome Of con-
catenation of causes which have converged to
the point where certain duties devolve upon US
as effects"
These remarkable thoughts are the spontane-
Gus product of a mar named Neresheimer,
who is the President OF the Theosophi.
cal societies of America, which has a central
office at 144 Madison avenue.
Recently The Sun told how the yogis got
into the Scottish Rite Hall. where a Theosophi-
cal festival Is going on very much as If it were
an unusually beautiful and complete church
fair. TIL ~ told how the yogis worried the
chelas, garus, adopts and mahatmas-which in
