ted in Fig. 42 must be thought of as inside the other
ball of delicate lines (blue in colour) which is drawn in Fig. 44. Any
effort to place the colours in such intimate juxtaposition on the
physical plane results simply in producing a green blur, so that the
whole character of the thought-form is lost. It is only by means of the
machine before mentioned that it is at all possible to represent the
grace and the delicacy of the lines. As before, a single line produces
all the wonderful tracery of Fig. 44, and the effect of the four
radiating lines making a sort of cross of light is merely due to the
fact that the curves are not really concentric, although at first sight
they appear to be so.

_Another Conception._--Fig. 45 exhibits the form produced by another
person when trying to hold exactly the same thought. Here also we have
an amazing complexity of almost inconceivably delicate blue lines, and
here also our imagination must be called upon to insert the golden globe
from Fig. 42, so that its glory may shine through at every point. Here
also, as in Fig. 44, we have that curious and beautiful pattern,
resembling somewhat the damascening on ancient Oriental swords, or that
which is seen upon watered silk or _moire antique_. When this form is
drawn by the pendulum, the pattern is not in any way intentionally
produced, but simply comes as a consequence of the crossing of the
innumerable microscopically fine lines. It is evident that the thinker
who created the form upon Fig. 44 must have held in his mind most
prominently the unity of the LOGOS, while he who generated the form in
Fig. 45 has as clearly in mind the subordinate centres through which the
divine life pours forth, and many of these subordinate centres have
accordingly represented themselves in the thought-form.

_The Threefold Manifestation._--When the form employed in Fig. 46 was
made, its creator was endeavouring to think of the LOGOS in His
threefold manifestation. The vacant space in the centre of the form was
a blinding glow of yellow light, and this clearly typified the First
Aspect, while the Second was symbolised by the broad ring of
closely-knitted and almost bewildering lines which surround this centre,
while the Third Aspect is suggested by the narrow outer ring which seems
more loosely woven. The whol
