of chemistry." These points the most infinites- 

 imal units of time as of space are called 

 Trutis in Sanskrit, and lacking a word to so 

 clearly identify the thing, I shall use it. To 

 understand the ceaseless play of vibratory rays 

 emanating from the celestial workshops, meeting 

 and crossing or impinging upon one another on 

 varying planes, imagine, if you can, the spectacle 

 presented if seven or more particles of radium 

 could be so placed and displayed in a darkened 

 room that you could see the criss-crossing of their 

 brilliant rays in a bewildering maze. 



At every intersection of rays there would be a 

 Trutl receiving those rays, but no two Trutis could 

 possibly receive precisely the same vibrations, for 

 not only are there three kinds of rays to move at 

 varying tangents but the Trutis would vary in 

 plane and also in distance from the centers. Just 

 such streams of influence are beating upon us all the 

 time. In the zone of earth-life, every Trutl of 

 the ecliptical space is an individual organism whose 

 life-phases change with the momentary variations 

 of the Tattvic vibrations as the earth and her sister 

 planets whirl in their orbits. 



Man is a microcosmic sphere of energy exactly 

 duplicating or reflecting the macrocosmic sphere, 

 of which he is as it were a single cell, made up of 

 millions of atoms held together by vibratory law. 

 Just as no two Trutis can be exactly alike, so no two
