ar as it goes. You only
wish to explain physical problems. But there are other problems
to be explained, problems of life and mind, and the same
knowledge you have explains them as well as the others, if you
simply avail yourself of it. That you do not consider the atom
as four-fold instead of two-fold is your own fault. I have not
told you anything you did not already know. I have only asked
you to apply your present knowledge of physics to these problems
of life and mind, and apply your reasoning powers.

"The chording vibration in an atom of matter of

"The two planes produces Force, or phenomena

"The three planes produces Life--the silver chord

"The four planes produces Mind--the golden chord.

"You say there is no gulf between the prakritic and etheric
worlds; that it is one continuous world; and all its phenomena
are by continuity and not impact. That is true, but it is not
the whole truth.

"There is no gulf to cross between the prakritic and etheric
worlds; none to cross between that and the manasic. The four
worlds are one great world, continuous, interchangeable. Through
the four as well as through the two, there is continuity and not
impact. Whether it is an atom or a world, the four are there.
Nothing, no combination of atoms, no matter of any kind, however
small or large, can exist in this prakritic world unless it has
the four elements, which from time immemorial our philosophers
have called Earth, Water, Fire, Air, meaning the four globes or
forms of matter in the universe. We do not have to leave the
earth to live in the etheric globe. It is here. Nor do we have
to go millions of miles to reach the pranic globe. It is here.
The problems of light and heat are no easier than the problems of
birth and death. The pranic globe is within us; within
everything. So is the manasic.

"It is here on these higher planes that the chances for worthy
study are greatest. At least we think so, though you may not.
We live on the manasic--pranic--etheric globe on precisely the
same terms that we live on this of prakriti, and the problems of
the three are equally open to us.

"If there are any who care to follow up the line of thought I
have opened, who care for the questions that interest us of the
East, I will talk as long as they care to listen, provided they
will not ask for knowledge that will give them power over others,
which cannot fail to be used for evil."

This is but a glimpse
