Section 10

Secret, from secretion, gray matter or oil from the upper brain, the fountain of life, the "Secret place of the Most High" — the heaved up place, the heaven within us.
N, the fourteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, added to heave, makes it heaven, because the seed, the fish which N, Nun, the fourteenth letter represents, on being carried to the pineal gland regenerates the in- dividual, and the upper brain becomes a manifested heaven. This seed "Seeks the kingdom of heaven."
There is probably no definite trace of the semi-lunar ganglion, two half moon-shaped ganglion near the sup-
[95]

rarenal glands, situated near the kidneys, that connect the spinal cord at the twelfth dorsal vertebra with the solar plexus, in the body of an infant, yet it is quite probable, if not certain, that the vestigal form, power and potency is implanted there at birth.
When the boy or girl reaches "about twelve," the semilunar and the manger (or nun) in Bethlehem is in full function, and hence Jeremiah's declaration.
It is evident that the fluids, creative, omnipotent, Row- ing "Out of Eden to water the garden" (Gen. 2:10), creates a new thing in the earth — the body, about that age, using the rib-lah to make the woman or worn (b) an, or womb in mankind — male or female.
This womb does compass circle a man (child-seed), "The seed is the Son of man." Again, "Know ye not that the Son of man hath power in earth to forgive sin?"
Analysis of "man," according to the Jewish Kaballah, reveals the fact that M, the thirteenth letter of the alpha- bet, means woman, mother, and is written thus, "mem."
A, the first letter — Aleph, means father or male strength or forces.
Nun, the fourteenth letter of the alphabet, means fruit, son, child, savior that redeems, therefore, man is mother, first (or Mary), then father, then son-redeemer, hence destined to be ultimately saved.
The sun and moon (see Joshua commanding the sun to stand still) and the pneumogastric or vagus nerve, the spinal cord and all that portion of the body above the median line, the "Middle wall of partition," is exactly the same in man and woman, and the functions in the "king- dom," in each body, enables them, separately and alone, to "work out their own salvation, or secretions. (See Joseph and Mary) , the pineal gland and pituitary body, both in one human organism, thus; "In my kingdom (saith the seed), there is no marrying nor giving in marriage."
Note : Rib-lah, the eastern boundary of Israel : The back is called the East, front, West; feet, South (down South), head, North (up north), hence the semilunar ganglion is East of Israel, the regenerative womb in man. See chart. [96]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
According to Hindu secret writings, God took a rib out of the female to make the male. Literally speaking, this idea would be much more reasonable than a literal rendering of the passage in Genesis.
"A woman hid a little leaven in a bag of meal and it leavened the whole lump."
Woman, or the womb in man, the upper or regenera- tive womb. Leaven, or yeast, the seed that comes forth from the womb in man, expands or causes the oil in the spinal cord (the ubag of meal"), to multiply. See loaves and fishes in the gospel. Also "Give one-tenth (tithes) to the Lord."
No wonder David — the Seed — is made to say of the man whose delight is in God: "And in thy law will I meditate day and night.

THE BRIDGE OF LIFE
"Conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity."
4 4 A NOISELESS, patient spider,
/A I mark'd, where, on a little promontory, it stood,
isolated ;
Mark'd how, to explore the vacant, vast surrounding, It launch'd forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself; Ever unreeling them — ever tirelessly speeding them.
"And you, O my soul, where you stand,
Surrounded, surrounded, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing — seeking the spheres, to
connect them; Till the bridge you will need, be form'd — till the ductile anchor
hold; Till the gossamer thread you fling, catch somewhere, O my soul."
—Walt Whitman. "O Man of Earth, watch well the steps thou findest,
Spread out before thy feet by cosmic plan ; Do thy soul's best, with body and with mind, To pay thy debt, and bridge this Karmic Span." —Edith F. A. U. Painton.
The statement of Holy Writ, that "man is conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity" has a three-fold mean- ing, viz., chemical, physiological and astrological. The real meaning in the original is, that the humjan embryo remains nine months in the female laboratory, thus fall- ing short three months of completing a solar or soul year. It also represents the journey of the ego from the moon to earth, or conception. Twelve, which represents the circle and stands for completion.
The word sin comes from Schin, the twenty-first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and means to fall short of com- pleteness, or understanding, wisdom. In the Tarot sym- bol, S, or Sin, is represented by the "Blind Fool," one lacking in wisdom, "Brought forth in iniquity" is merely a repetition of the words "born in sin." Iniquity and
[98]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
inequity or unequal, mean the same. The ancient He- brews called Moon, Sin, because it gave light only part of the time.
To acquire wisdom that will enable the Ego in flesh to build a bridge across the three-month gap, or space between the point of conception and birth, is the one real problem that confronts the ego on the material plane of expression. The alchemists, seers and astrologians of all ages have wrestled with this problem in their ceaseless endeavors to unravel the great mystery of man's dominion over flesh. Whether it be the chemist seeking new com- pounds, the physiologist searching and testing the fluids of the fearfully and wonderfully made body of man, the alchemist probing for the Elixir of Life — the Ichor of the Gods or the astrologian pulling and adjusting the etheric wires that criss-cross the spaces in an earnest desire to make good and sane the statement "The wise man rules his stars," — all, all are seeking to span the awful space that yawns between the neophyte and the Promised Land of imimortality in the body, where "in my flesh I shall see God," and when and where he can truly say with the regenerated Job, UI have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth thee." Man must work out his own salvation.
The bridge to be built across the three-months space must have a mineral base or rock foundation. "Thou art Peter (petra, stone, or mineral), on thee will I build my church," etc. Church is from the second Hebrew letter, Beth, a house temple, or church. The human body is a house, temple, or church for the Soul which may be lost or saved by the higher self or spiritual ego residing in the cerebellum the "Secret Place of the Most High." "Know ye not that your bodies are the temple (church) of God?"
There are twelve inorganic mineral cell-salts in the human body, and these minerals (stones in the temple) correspond in vibration to the twelve signs of the Zodiac. During the nine months of gestation the embryo receives and appropriates the creative energies of nine of these salts, leaving three to be supplied after the parting of the umbilical cord. Take for example a native born Febru-

ary 22nd, with the Sun's entry into Pisces: The embryo, having begun its journey at the gate of Gemini and nego- tiated the nine gestatory signs, his blood vibration at birth is thus deficient in the qualities of Pisces, Aries and Taurus, as also in the chemical dynamics of phosphate of iron, phosphate of potassium and sulphate of sodium-t- the mineral bases respectively of the signs of this uncom- pleted quadrant. In so far as his circulatory system may receive these needed builders, the health will be balanced and life prolonged.
The chemical union of these cell-salts with organic matter, such as oil, fibrin, albumen, etc., forms the various tissues of the body and administers to the physiological needs as represented by the Bridge, that the multiple cells may respond more harmoniously and completely to the magic touch of the Divine energy, just as the tones of a musical instrument are made the more melodious through a properly skilled manipulation. And as bridge- building in a mechanical sense depends upon the plans and specifications of a competent civil engineer, so does the Bridge of Life depend upon the astrologian to chart and compass the way.
Our diagram indicates at a glance the chemical for- mula that appertain respectively to the zodiacal divisions, but to give a clearer conception as regards their specific qualities and physiological action in relation to the various signs, reference may be had to the following compend:
The coming of Christ and the end of the world has been preached from every street corner for several years, and thousands are pledging themselves to try to live as Christ lived or according to their concept of His life.
No great movement of the people ever occurs without a scientific cause.
The Optic Thalamus, meaning "light of the chamber/' is the inner or third eye, situated in the center of the head. It connects the pineal gland and the pituitary body. The optic nerve starts from this "eye single." "If thine eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light." The optic thalamus is the Aries planet and when fully developed through physical regeneration it lifts the initi- ate up from the Kingdom of Earth, animal desire below

the solar plexus, to the pineal gland that connects the cerebellum, the temple of the Spiritual Ego, with the optic thalamus, the third eye.
By this regenerative process millions of dormant cells of the brain are resurrected and set in operation, and then m'.an no longer "sees through a glass darkly," but with the Eye of spiritual understanding.
We venture to predict that the planet corresponding to the optic thalamus will soon be located in the heavens.
"The new order cometh." Mars must be dethroned as ruler of the brain of man.
To those who object to linking chemistry with astrol- ogy, the writer has this to say :
The Cosmic Law is not in the least disturbed by nega- tive statements of the ignorant individual. Those inves- tigators of natural phenomena, who delve deeply to find Truth, pay little heed to the babbler who says, "I can't understand how the zodiacal signs can have any relation to the cell-salts of the human body." The sole reason that he "cannot understand" is because he never tried to understand.
A little earnest, patient study will open the understand- ing of any one possessed of ordinary intelligence and make plain the great truth that the LW/verse is what the word implies, i.e., one verse.
It logically follows that all parts of one thing are sus- ceptible to the operation of any part.
The human body is an epitome of the cosmos.
Each sign of the Zodiac is represented by the twelve functions of the body and the position of the Sun at birth.
Therefore, the cell-salt corresponding with the Sign of the Zodiac and function of the body is consumed more rapidly than other salts and needs an extra amount to supply the deficiency caused by the Sun's influence at that particular time.
In ancient lore Aries was known as the "Lamb of Gad," or God, which represents the head or brain. The brain controls and directs the body and mind of man. The brain itself, however, is a receiver operated upon by celestial influences or angles (angels) and must operate
[101]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
according to the directing force or intelligence of its source of power.
Man has been deficient in understanding because his brain receiver did not vibrate to certain subtle influences. The dynamic cells in the gray matter of the nerves were not finely attuned and did not respond — hence sin, or falling short of understanding.
From the teachings of the Chemistry of Life we find that the basis of the brain or ne^rve fluid is a certain mineral salt known as potassium phosphate, or Kali Phos.
A deficiency in this brain constituent means "sin," or a falling short of judgment or proper comprehension. With the advent of the Aries Lord, God, or planet, cell- salts are rapidly coming to the fore as the basis of all healing. Kali phosphate is the greatest healing agent known to man, because it is the chemical base of material expression and understanding.
The cell-salts of the human organism are now being prepared for use, while poisonous drugs are being dis- carded everywhere. Kali phosphate is the especial birth salt for those born between March 21 and April 19.
These people are brain workers, earnest, executive and determined — thus do they rapidly use up the brain vital- izers.
The Aries gems are amethyst and diamond.
In Bible alchemy Aries represents Gad, the seventh son of Jacob, and means "armed and prepared" — thus it is said when in trouble or danger, "keep your head."
In the symbolism of the New Testamjent, Aries corres- ponds with the disciple Thomas. Aries people are natural doubters until they figure a thing out for them- selves.
The astronomer, by the unerring law of mathematics applied to space, proportion, and the so far discovered wheels and cogs of the uni-machine, can tell where a cer- tain planet must be located before the telescope has veri- fied the prediction. So the astro-biochemist knows there must of necessity be a blood mineral and tissue builder to correspond with each of the duodenary segments that con- stitutes the circle of the Zodiac.

Not through quarantine, nor disinfectants, nor boards of health, will man reach the long-sought plane of physical well-being; nor by denials of disease will bodily regenera- tion be wrought; nor by dieting or fasting or "Fletcher- izing" or suggesting, will the Elixir of Life and the Philosopher's Stone be found. The Mercury of the Sages and the "hidden manna" are not constituents of health foods. Victims of salt baths and massage are bald before their time, and the alcohol, steam and Turkish bath fiends die young. Only when man's body is made chemically perfect will the mind be able perfectly to ex- press itself.
And the secret of this chemical perfectionment is the sum total of the requirements involved in this zodiacal Bridge. The rock — Peter, or Petra — must be completed before the etheric wires that span the gulf between birth forward to the sidereal point of conception can vibrate in such harmony as to sustain the traveller on this "magical bridge of three piers," or the three zodiacal signs through which the material body must successfully function before it may hope to lift the veil of Isis.
The Bridge of Life, a symbol of physical re-genesis, has been exploited in song, drama, and story. Paracel- sus, Pythagoras, Lycurgus, Valentin, Wagner, and a long and unbroken line of the Illuminati, from time immem- orial have chanted their epics in unison with this "riddle of the Sphinx," across the scroll of which is written, "Solve me, or die."
Of all the multiple adepts or masters that have kept the lights burning above the Three Piers of the magical Bridge, none has more clearly and beautifully written thereof than did the great astrologian poet, Isaiah:
"Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. And the glowing sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the habitation of jackals, where they lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. And a highway shall be there, and a way and it shall be called, The way of holiness; the un-
[103]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
clean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for the re- deemed; the wayfaring men, yet fools, shall not err therein."
Here we have the last step on the physical plane that breaks down the "middle wall of partition." — Paul. Then the Ego is enabled to regenerate by saving the Word of God — the Seed — and thus render further in- carnations unnecessary.

In His form (in the form, of the Ancient One) existeth the equilibrium.
It is incomprehensible, it is unseen.
The head, which is incomprehensible, is secret in secret.
But it has been formed and prepared in the likeness of a cranium and is filled with crystalline dew.
His skin is of ether, clear and congealed.
His hair is as most fine wool, floating though the balanced equilibrium.
His eye is ever open and sleepeth not, for it continually keepeth watch. And the appearance of the lower is according to the aspect of the higher light.
Therein are His two nostrils like mighty galleries, whence His spirit rusheth forth over all. The creative spirit — the "breath of life."
The crystalline dew is the creative lux, or Aur, AVR proceeding from the Limitless One."
