M. Bailly’s work, where the subject is discussed technically.

1141 Why it should be “fictitious” can never be made plain by European Scientists. 1142 Bailly’s _Traité de l’Astronomie Indienne et Orientale_, pp. xx. _et seq._ Ed. 1787. 1143 Ch. III. “On Matter.” 1144 _Lecture on Protoplasm_, by Mr. Huxley. 1145 Ganot’s _Physics_, p. 68, Atkinson’s Translation. 1146 See Vol. I. pp. 338, 339, quoted from _Le Mystère et la Science_, Conférences, Père Félix de Notre Dame. 1147 Behold the work of Cycles and their periodical return! Those who denied such “Entities” (Forces) to be bodies, and called them “Spaces,” were the prototypes of our modern “science‐struck” public, and their official teachers, who speak of the Forces of Nature as the imponderable energy of Matter and as modes of motion, and yet hold electricity, for one, as being as _atomic as Matter_ itself—(Helmholtz). Inconsistency and contradiction reign as much in official as in heterodox Science. 1148 _The Virgin of the World_ of Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus, rendered into English by Dr. Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland. Pp. 83, 84. 1149 “Hermes here includes as Gods the sensible Forces of Nature, the elements and phenomena of the Universe,” remarks Dr. A. Kingsford in a foot‐note explaining it very correctly. So does Eastern Philosophy. 1150 _Ibid._, pp. 64, 65. 1151 See also Section IX, THE COMING FORCE. 1152 “O Toom, Toom! issued from the great [female] which is in the bosom of the waters [the great Deep or Space], luminous through the two Lions,” the dual Force, or power of the two _solar eyes_, or the electro‐positive and the electro‐negative forces. See _Book of the Dead_, ch. iii. 1153 See _Book of the Dead_, chapter xvii. 1154 Chapter lxxix. 1155 An image expressing the succession of divine functions, the transmutation of one form into another, or the correlation of forces. Aam is the electro‐positive force, devouring all others, as Saturn devoured his progeny. 1156 Aanroo is in the domain of Osiris, a field divided into _fourteen_ sections, “surrounded with an _iron_ enclosure, within which grows the _corn of life seven_ cubits high,” the Kâma Loka of the Egyptians. Those only of the dead, who know the names of the janitors of the “seven halls,” will be admitted into Amenti _for ever_; _i.e._, those who have passed through the Seven Races of each Round—otherwise they will rest in the _lower fields_; and it represents also the seven successive Devachans, or Lokas. In Amenti one becomes pure spirit for the eternity (xxx. 4); while in Aanroo the “soul of the spirit,” or the Defunct, is _devoured_ each time by Uræus—the Serpent, Son of the Earth (in another sense the primordial vital principles in the Sun), _i.e._, the Astral Body of the deceased or the “Elementary” fades out and disappears in the “Son of the Earth,” _limited_ time. The soul quits the fields of Aanroo and goes on earth under any shape it likes to assume.
