stopped our carriage. Clad in flowing

proving that the Mahatmas are not
mere illusionary Visions conjured up
by ones imagination or, as some sug-
gest, by hypnotic suggestion. The
clothing worn by them is at the time
absolutely real; it has been transferred
bodily, along with the astral form Of
the Mahatma, to the spot where the at
pearance takes place. The real or as
trail body of the Mahatma might at the
time be asleep in far away Thibet, or
anywhere else, while his double ap-
peaTed in the park at Bombay. In this
case, as the turban was not transferred
back to it's owner the Mahatmas, on

himself bareheaded Every particle of
physical matter surrounding the master
had been projected through space and
returned again, with the exception of
the atoms which went to make up the
turban. And doubtless this was left
behind Intentionally, in order that our
duller senses might have proof of it's
reality.
"All Mahatn1as have this power of
transferring their double or astral body
from place to- place; they can appear

remain as long as may be necessary for
the work in hand
when one Of these masters has in
structions to give he does not, however,
choose always to appear in the actual
presence. Often they adopt impersonal
methods and merely inspire ones brain.
But at crucial periods, when a vital de-
cision is to be arrived at, I often hear
voices speaking quite plainly and tell
ing me the proper course to pursue.

Il will show you a practical illustra-
ton of the passage of matter through
matter Here is gold ring which al
ways carry with me. 1t has three small
diamonds set in it in the form of an
isoscoles triangle, but when I got it it
was merely a plain gold hoop. I came
into it's possession in very peculiar
manner. Long before I knew Madame
Blavatsky I was at a seance in New
York. I held rose in my hand and
was told by the medium to close my
fingers tightly on it for a fewmoments.
I did so, and when l reopened them 1
found this ring in the center of the
flower. Needless to say treasured the
ring and ever after wore it as charm
on my watch chain.
Some years later during Madame
Blavatsky's first tour through india
when she gave so many wonderful
manifestations of psychic power, we
were at Simla, told the history of the
ring to lady who happened to be WISH
ting us, and moved by feminine curos-
ity, she slipped the ring on her finger.
She was about to remove it again, when
Madame Blavatsky suddenly ex-
claimed: mo; don't do that; give me
your hand
Madame Blavatsky took the ladys
hand between both of hers and held it
tightly pressed for a minute or so.
When she removed her grasp the ring
was still there, but these three dia-
monds had been set in it. This was
only one of the high priestess marvel
Gus feats. She was in every way a
strange woman. One of her great PEI
culiarities was that her hair was con-
stantly changing in form and color
Naturally it was fluffy and light brown
clustering around her head like mop
But at times, under some psychic influ-
ence, it would change to black and be-
come perfectly straight. Or, again.. it
would increase in length till it reached
her shoulders. D.

astral development which enables me
to recall my previous incarnations on
this earth; but I have been Informed of
many things about them. All that I
am at liberty to mention, however, is
that my last incarnation took place
two thousand years ago in India. 1
