The Dual Powers.


Briefly. the old tradition embodying
Chinese theory of the evolution Of
an and which today is held sacred
roughout the Flowery Kingdom, is
follows:
"In the beginning all matter was
ransparent, diffused and without diff
erentiation.
"In it dwelt dual powers; both sub
le ethereal and eternal. But one was
irile, warm, radiant and active, while
Ehe other was cold, somber and quies-
eent.
These dual powers, the first mas
culine, the second feminine, are sym.
bolized by two similar, conoined fig
lures, whose outlines may be made
by drawing upon the diameter of a
circle two oppositely directed semi
Ecirces, whose centers are those Of the
two radii
"The reciprocal action of the dual
powers, continuing through countless
ages, produced all that is.
"A zenith, a nadir, and all the
points of the compass were gradually
evolved.
There came to be a distinction be-
tween the bright heavens and the dark
earth. The male predominated above,
the female ruled below, as Father
Heaven and Mother Garth. each hav-
ing an all-pervadlng spirit, but with
unlike influence. The body comes
from and depends upon the earth; the
soul comes from and returns to the
heavens.
The rocks are the bones of the di-
vine body, the soil is the flesh, the
metals are the nerves and veins; the
tide, wind, rain, clouds, frost and dew
are all caused by it's respiration, pull
'atjons and exhalations.
Originally the mountains rose to
the armament, and the sea covered
The mountains to their tops. At that
ime there was in the divine body no
life beside the divine life.
Then the waters subsided, small
