ngs to
the kinetic or creative belt of the solar etheric globe. It is
not static ether. The ether in our prakriti is in touch with all
the prakritic kinetic ether of the solar globe, subject to all
solar laws of change; and all our prak-solar laws of change;
and all our prakritic matter, a mere detail of it, is a part of
the solar phenomena. "Our father, the sun," or "Dyaus pitar"
("heavenly father"--Latin, Jupiter) meant more once than it does
now. Then the solar globe was the first heaven, and to live
under its laws, puttings off the coat of skin, was an object
which men believed to be worth striving for. They recognized, as
we do not, that our prakritic laws were not all they had to obey;
that the higher law of the solar globe on which they lived, of
which the lower prakritic laws were merely an outcome and detail,
was worthy of the closest study. And they recognized that these
higher laws of the etheric globe were metaphysical as well as
physical; that our moral law flows out of the moral law of the
solar etheric world, as our physics flow from and out of solar
physics. Religion is correct in its assumption of this higher
law of morals; incorrect only in its grasp and explanation.
Science is correct in holding only in its assumption that it is
physical science; incorrect only in its assumption that it is
physical science of this plane and globe only. There is no
quarrel between science and religion when the full knowledge of
one stands beside the full knowledge of the other. They are
twin-sisters.

This solar-etheric globe in which we are interested revolves
around Alcyone within that kinetic belt or skin of prana which is
subject to phenomena or vibration through one octave--else it
would never have been formed. All prana in the solar-etheric
globe is of this particular kind of kinetic prana, which creates
life of all kinds--which is subject to vibration through one
octave. The solar globe is a detail of kinetic prana only, one
of its phenomena. Necessarily, all our prana is of this kinetic
kind, and our earth a minor detail of it in the Alcyone globe.
All the changes and combinations possible in kinetic prana on the
pranic globe are possible here, in our kinetic prana, as all the
phenomena of the etheric world are possible here in our kinetic
ether.

As our earth is a globe of ether and a globe of prana as well as
a globe of prakriti; we are actually living on a small "cabbage"
of that prani
