CHAPTER TX.
The Car of Destiny,

Athlyne did not feel safe till the French
vessel was dipping her nose into the open
Atlantic seas. and the Long Island hills
were faint blue line on the western hori-
zon. The last dozen hours of his stay in
New York had been as though spent in
prison. He knew well now that he really
loved JOY: that this was no passing fancy,
no mere desire of possession of pretty
woman. All phases of the passion of love-
from the solely physical to the purely
spiritual. have their own forces command
ing different sets of nerves. Any one of
these many phases may be ali-compelling
for time. But it is rather the blind
dogged. reckless pursuit of an immediate
purpose than the total abandonment to
settled conviction. All the passions-or
rather the phases of one passion-are sep
arate and coordinate. Inasmuch as they
are centered in. one physical identity they
are correlated. Nature has It's own mys-
Ieries: and the interrelations OF various
functions of human being form not the
least of them. As there are broad dvi-
sions of them-ChriStians accept three, the
ancient Egyptians held to eight-so must
we accept their uses and consequences.
Body and SOUL so runs the saving of
the illiterate. not seldom used in objurga-
tion. Body. mind and SOUL" says the
auasi-thinker who believes that he has
grasped the truth of the great parceling
ont OF qualities Heart, soul and fiesh,''
says the lover who knows that he under
stands. The lover alone II is who knows
as distinguished from believing. For this
world is complete: in il there is no striv-
ing after knowledge. no vain desire OF
many things. no self-seeking. For the
true lovers one idea is TO give. In such
world there can be no doubling. no
fearing. no hoping. Before its creation
Pandora's box has been emptied to the
last. Ii may be that the lovers world is
only phantasm. condition. 1t may be
that II is a reality which can only be
grasped by those who have been gifted
with special powers. 1t may be that 1t is
AN orb real as our own world. whirling
in space in darkness and can only be seen
by those who have new sense of vision
Surely IL IS not too much 10 believe. fol-
as well as the body has eyes, and. that
all eyes of all sorts and degrees have
vision of one kind or another: that there
may be even Il power of choice. We
know that IN the greatest manifestation
which We call light are various rays, each
with its own distinctive powers and limi-
tations- When these are all classified
and understood. then science may take
breathing time for its next great effort at
investigation. Why. then. may not GER
lain visual organs be adapted to specific
purposes. We know through our sensoria
that there is response in various ways to
seekings OF our own: whatever be the
means Of communication. whatever il be-
electrical or magnetic o. through some
other of the occult root forces, the mes
sage Is conveyed. Why may ID not be-
again following the great analogies. that
two forces OF varying kind coming to-
gether are necessary for creation of any
kind. We know it of lightning, we know
IL of rotoplaSm, and H whatever lies oe.
tween them of which we know anything.
We find or have ground for believing that
the same conditions hold In all the worlds
which germinate and increase and multi
ply. May il then not be that in love

two forces of sex may create a new light:
n light strange to either sex alone: light
in which that other world. spinning in the
darkness through ether. swims into view
in that new-creature light.
In physical life when flesh touches flesh
the whole body responds. provided that
the two are opposite yet sympathetic
