physical evolution have made him。 But the very reverse is true。 The fauna
and flora of past geological periods are what the human soul has produced�察�
by virtue of its gradual advancement to higher states and conditions of life�察�
so that�察�so far from man being the outcome of the planet's development�察�
such material progress is the outgrowth of man's advancement�察 �proving
again that�察 �matter is not independent of spirit�察 �neither can spirit be
independent of matter for its expressions。 They so interblend that�察 �the
dividing line cannot be detected by the untrained eye of the exact scientist。
But�察�that time is not far distant�察�when the scientists will prepare and evolve
their interior being to take up the spiritual thread�察�exactly where the visible
thread ends�察�and carry forth the work�察�as far as the mortal mind of man can
penetrate�察�while embodied in the physical form。
God hasten this day is my prayer�察 �for then man will become more
spiritual and aspiring for advancement and knowledge�察 �thus�察 �setting up
vibrations that will create higher and loftier conditions for the physical
man。 Aye� �then they will know that�察�even the birth of the world itself�察�owes
its primal genesis to the desire of the human atom for earthly embodiment。
Here is where exact science�察�or the counterpart of Alchemy�察�becomes
both profitable and helpful。 Says Paracelsus�此 �The true use of chemistry is
not to make gold�察�but to prepare medicines。; He admits four elementsthe
STAR�察�the ROOT�察�the ELEMENT and the SPERM。 These elements were
composed of the three principles�察 �SIDERIC SALT�察 �SULPHUR�察 �and
MERCURY。 Mercury�察 �or spirit�察�sulphur�察 �or oil�察 �and salt�察 �and the passive
principles�察�water and earth。 Herein we see the harmony of the two words�察�
Alchemy and Chemistry。 One is but the continuation of the other�察�and they
blend so into each other that�察�they are not complete�察�apart。
The chemist�察 �in his analysis of the various component parts of any

form of matter�察�knows also the proportional combinations�察�and thus�察�by the
Law of Correspondence�察 �could�察�by the same use of the spiritual laws of
Alchemy�察�analyze and combine the same elements from the atmosphere�察�to
produce the corresponding expression of crystallized form。 By the same
laws�察 �are affinities and antipathies discovered and applied�察 �in every
department of Nature's wonderful laboratory。
Chemistry is the physical expression of Alchemy�察 �and any true
knowledge of chemistry is��not the knowing of the names of the extracts
and essences�察 �and the plants themselves�察 �and that certain combinations
produce certain results�察�obtained from blind experiments�察�yet�察�prompted by
the Divine spirit within�察�but�察�knowledge born from knowing the why and
wherefore of such effects。 What is called the oil of olives is not a single�察�
simple substance�察 �but it is more or less combined with other essential
elements�察 �and will fuse and coalesce with other oils and essences of
similar nature。 The true chemist will not confine his researches for
knowledge to the mere examination�察�analysis�察�and experiments�察�in organic
life�察�but will inform himself equally�察�in physical astrology�察�and learn the
nature�察�attributes�察�and manifested influences of the planets�察�that constitute
our universe�察�and�察�under which�察�every form of organic matter is subject�察�
and especially�察 �controlled by。 Then�察 �by learning the influence of the
planets upon the human family�察 �and that special planetary vibration that
influences the individual�察 �he can intelligently and unerringly administer
medicines to remove disease in man。
A familiarity with the mere chemical relations of the planet to man�察�
makes still more apparent�察 �the mutual affinity of both to the soil�察 �from
which they appear to spring�察�and to which�察�they ultimately return�察�so much
so that�察 �we have become conscious�察 �that�察 �the food we eat is valuable or
otherwise as a life sustainer�察�in proportion to the amount of life it contains。
We are so complex in our organization that�察�we require a great variety of
the different elements to sustain all the active functions and powers within
us。 Man�察 �being a microcosm�察 �or a miniature universe�察 �must sustain that
universe�察�by taking into the system the various elements�察�which combine
to make up the Infinite Universe of God。 Animal flesh is necessary to
certain organized forms�察�both animal and man。 When I say necessary�察�I do

not mean an acquired taste and habit of consuming just so much flesh a
day�察�but a constitution�察�which would not be complete in its requirements�察�
without animal flesh。 I am thankful such do not constitute the masses。
Science would say�察�you only require certain combinations of oxygen�察�
hydrogen�察�nitrogen�察�and carbon�察�to sustain all the activities of the physical
body。 Apparently�察�this is true。 Upon the surface it is�察�but in reality it is not�察�
because if it were really true there could be no famines。 Science could
make bread out of stones�察�as was suggested at the temptation of Christ in
the wilderness。 And yet�察 �no one knows better than the academies of
Science�察�themselves�察�that their learned professors would quickly starve to
death�察 �if they were compelled to produce their food from the chemical
properties of the rocks。 They can make a grain of wheat chemically perfect�察�
but they cannot make the invisible germ by which it will grow�察 �become
fruitful�察�and reproduce itself。 They can reproduce from the stones in the
street the same chemical equivalents that go to compose gluten�察�albumen�察�
and starchthe trinity which must always be present to sustain life�察 �but
they cannot�察 �by any known process�察 �make such chemical equivalents of
these substances�察�do the same thing。 Now�察�if not�察�why not�拭�Science cannot
answer this。 A very mysterious shake of the head and profound silence is
the only answer。 Ask Science HOW THE PLANT GROWS�察�what causes
the atoms of matter to build up root�察�stem�察�leaf�察�bud and flower�察�true to the
parent species from which the germinal atom came。 What is there behind
the plant that stamps it with such striking individuality�拭�And why�察 �from
the same soil�察�the deadly aconite and nutritious vegetable can grow�察�each
producing qualities in harmony with its own nature�察�so widely different in
their effects upon the human organism�察 �YET�察 �SO COMPLETELY
IDENTICAL AS REGARDS THE SOURCE FROM WHICH THEY
APPEAR TO SPRING。 There must be a something to account for this�察�and
this something�察 �ancient Alchemy alone can scientifically reveal and
expound�察�and�察�this knowledge lies just beyond that line which calls a halt
to material scientists�察�and says�此 �You can go no farther�察�this is beyond your
purview。 The end of the material thread has been reached�察�and unless you
can connect it with the thread of the next plane�察 �your researches must
stop。;
