262 The Law of the Rhythmic Breath 



the primary source of all the Tattvic permutations 

 and comminglings. To this infinite gamut of 

 color in the realm of Nature the solar spectrum it-

 Frauenhoefer lines which registered as many dis- 

 tinct tints and hues of color. Only the Tattvic 

 Law can explain these as visualizing the varied geo- 

 metrical forms of etheric vibrations. The seven 

 prismatic colors correspond to simple, or primary 

 forms ; and their infinite variations to permutations 

 of these.

 Sub-race of the Fifth Root-race. We are in the 

 Fourth round of this evolutionary cycle; that is, 

 our globe is at the lowest arc of the planetary 

 chain, the deepest involution of spirit in matter, 

 and the period of the fullest development of pure 

 intellect ; a conbination that has produced the gross 

 materialist, the intellectual giant sans soul. But

 the middle of the round. Thus all is preparing 

 for the Fifth round in which matter will lose its 

 density. Why? Because faculties will be devel- 

 oped that enable man to perceive the withinness 

 of all things. In Occultism, ' There is no
