, we call the Milky Way; in the
solar globe we call it the plane of the ecliptic; and on the
earth, the tropics. Modern science has not yet found it in
Alcyonic globe--because it has never thought of looking for it.

This division of the Light from the Darkness was all that was
required for evolution on the manasic globe within the kinetic
belt. This evolution was not confined to the making of a few
alcyonic or pranic globes. It was (and is) a great and wonderful
evolution beyond words and almost beyond imagination. It is the
Heaven which mankind has longed to see and know. The writer of
Genesis mixed it with the creation of this earth, using earthly
metaphors. Before finding fault, we should better his language.
We have not the words in physics to do it, and must wait for our
metaphysics. But of one thing we may be sure, that the pranic-
alcyonic globes here and there at the "sea level" of the manasic
globe--in what God calls Heaven--amount to no more on that
globe, or in Heaven, than so many balls of thistle-down blown
across a meadow do on this earth of ours. Everything that can be
created in thought must be there. It is in thought only, but in
thought it is differentiated as sharply as anything in prakriti.
The manasic world, the Heaven of the Bible, is as real as our own
world can possibly be; in fact, more real, for when ours is
resolved back into its final elements, it will be but "the dust
of the ground" of the manasic world.

The pranic globes created in this manasic skin by Sound, or the
Logos, or vibration, evolved in identically the same way--with a
central static core and an outer static envelope, of low and high
vibration in prana, creating attraction and repulsion, or gravity
and apergy. The kinetic skin between, in which these forces play
in the pranic world, makes a real, not an imaginary pranic world,
though but a faint reflection of the manasic. When our father,
the Central Invisible Sun, transfers his attraction to these
alcyonic suns, the Light has something in which to manifest
itself, and we "see" this manifesting core and call it Alcyone,
and its manifestation Light; but light in its last material
analysis is but the static mind or thought vibrating in the three
lower notes of the octave.

The Dual Man

Within the alcyonic globes of differentiated pranic-manasic atoms
the vibration divided them also into solid-liquid cores and
gaseous envelopes, and a
