THE ACTIVITIES OF THE MACROCOSM IN THE 

 MICROCOSM 



THE new science declares confidently that 

 we are akin to the stars, meaning thereby 

 that, being composed of like elements 

 though in vastly different states, we have through 

 countless ages evolved therefrom. Yet it would 

 cut us off entirely from that influence now ! And 

 this is the great stumbling block of progress. 



When science goes further and recognizes that 

 mankind, as also every living creature and every 

 visible, material thing, is ever in the making and 

 has never been severed from that original kinship, 

 humanity will gain an immense impetus in the up- 

 ward ascent of the evolutionary spiral, towards the 

 development of spiritual senses. The X-ray fore- 

 shadows the powers humanity will thus gain. 



Fortunately, recent discoveries are fast under- 

 mining the walls between the visible and invisible

 all parts of space is the same." The factor which
