164 The Law of the Rhythmic Breath 



human beings are, for the unceasing play of the 

 Tattvas is a constant mingling and changing under 

 the ebb and flow of the Great Breath, which holds 

 all the planets and constellations in their assigned 

 orbits. Thus the Tattvas are the forces that lie at 

 the root of all manifestations. They are that 

 which lies behind every natural phenomenon. But 

 it is only when the Tattvas reach a certain state of 

 density that they become visible. The sun, stars, 

 and planets are the visible, materialized centers of 

 invisible, spiritual and ethereal forces. To spirit- 

 ual vision no matter is dense. 



It should be remembered that no two planets 

 move with the same velocity or in the same orbit, 

 and that consequently their aspects one to another 

 are incessantly changing. The varying forms of 

 Tattvic force and influence cause this and it is the 

 reaction from the planets which injects such varia- 

 tion in the Pranic currents flowing earthward; and, 

 in consequence, into every species of earth organ- 

 ism these organisms being, as you will remem- 

 ber, manifestations on the gross (that is, visible!) 

 plane of Tattvic activities. 



Astronomers have recognized that the mutual 

 interaction between the planets is a never-ending 

 source of perturbations and disturbances, now 

 checking and diverting, now restraining and now 

 accelerating each and every one in its orbit, so that 

 their paths through the congeries of stars which
