forces--light, heat,
electricity, etc.--that affect the earth, and on every side of
this line is the "electric field" of these forces. To this line
any escaping solar energy is drawn, as the electricity of the air
is drawn to a live wire or magnet. But there is little or none
to escape. From the laya point in the sun to the laya point in
the earth, the solar energy is transferred as sound is carried
along a beam of light (photophone), or electricity from one point
to another without a wire.

To the advanced student of electricity the ancient teaching is
easily apprehended; to others it is difficult to make clear.
These laya centers, it says, are "the transforming points of
energy." From the earth laya to the solar laya centre, the
energy, we may say, is positive; beyond both the solar and the
earth laya centre, in the fields touching at them, it is negative
--or vice versa. The line connecting the layas is the "Path of
Fohat"--the personification of solar energy.

This is a very crude and brief way of putting many pages of
teaching, but the important point is that this line between the
layas is one of solar energy, with a dynamic "field" of solar
energy, elliptical in shape, connecting with the reverse fields
at the laya points. These "dead points" are the limits of each
electric field, which "create", we say in electrical work,
opposing fields beyond them.

Each one of these planets has its laya centre inside the sun's
photosphere. Each planet has a line of solar energy with its
"field" of solar energy--not only a wireless telegraph, but a
wireless lighting, heating, and life-giving system. These six
solar laya points are the six "hidden planets," the earth and
moon being one, of the ancient metaphysics. The moon is the one
"laid aside." In their reception of energy from the sun, it is
as if the planet were at the solar laya point, or connected with
it by a special pipe-line. The position of these six planetary
laya points in the sun is indicated by the position of the
planets in the heavens, and they may often influence or modify
one another. If Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn is anywhere near
conjunction with the earth, not only will a part of their
"fields" be joined, but their laya points in the sun will be
modified.

The physical basis of the old astrology was the physical
interferences of these fields of solar energy; and what it
depended on mainly in its work was the position of the six hidden
