darker hue such as blue or
black, but it is noteworthy that in this case the thinker is so entirely
occupied with the intellectual endeavour, that no colour but yellow is
exhibited within the form. There is no room as yet for emotions of
devotion, of wonder, or of admiration; the idea which he wishes to
realise fills his mind entirely, to the exclusion of all else. Still the
definiteness of the outline as it stands out against its background of
rays shows that he has achieved a high measure of success.

_The Logos as manifested in Man._--We are now coming to a series of
thoughts which are among the very highest the human mind can form, when
in meditation upon the divine source of its being. When the man in
reverent contemplation tries to raise his thought towards the LOGOS of
our solar system, he naturally makes no attempt to image to himself that
august Being; nor does he think of Him as in any way possessing such
form as we can comprehend. Nevertheless such thoughts build forms for
themselves in the matter of the mental plane; and it will be of interest
for us to examine those forms. In our illustration in Fig. 41 we have a
thought of the LOGOS as manifested in man, with the devotional
aspiration that He may thus be manifested through the thinker. It is
this devotional feeling which gives the pale blue tinge to the
five-pointed star, and its shape is significant, since it has been
employed for many ages as a symbol of God manifest in man. The thinker
may perhaps have been a Freemason, and his knowledge of the symbolism
employed by that body may have had its share in the shaping of the star.
It will be seen that the star is surrounded by bright yellow rays
shining out amidst a cloud of glory, which denotes not only the
reverential understanding of the surpassing glory of the Deity, but also
a distinct intellectual effort in addition to the outpouring of
devotion.

_The Logos pervading all._--Our next three Figures are devoted to the
effort to represent a thought of a very high type--an endeavour to think
of the LOGOS as pervading all nature. Here again, as in Fig. 38, it is
impossible to give a full reproduction, and we must call upon our
readers for an effort of the imagination which shall to some extent
supplement the deficiencies of the arts of drawing and printing. The
