The Solar

Organism. 



Magnetic 

 Relation of 

 Planets. 



The solar system is an organism; as truly so 

 as is the human body. As every part of the hu- 

 man body is dependent upon and influenced by 

 every other part, so every planet is subjected to 

 the influence of other planets. As man's body 

 is surrounded by a magnetic aura, or personal 

 magnetism, which influences every other person 

 with whom he comes in contact, so every planet 

 is surrounded by an electric or magnetic aura, 

 which extends throughout space and influences 

 every other planet. As the personal magnetism 

 of men differ in strength and character accord- 

 ing to the physical and mental constitution of the 

 man, so the magnetic aura of planets vary with 

 their composition, size, density, etc. Again, as 

 in magnetic relation "like creates like," so that 

 the man whose life is pure, chaste, just, kind and 

 unselfish tends to produce in all, similar condi- 

 tions, while men of opposite natures produce oppo- 

 site states in others; so the composition of some 

 planets are such as to favor the activity of what 

 we term the higher elements of man's nature, 

 while others are conducive to the manifestation of 

 Effects of Planet- tne baser nature. Now, since the influence of a 

 ary Changes. planet is determined in part by its size, density, 

 chemical composition and nearness to the earth, 

 and since the relation of the planets is continually 

 changing, and since some are .much more favor- 

 able to intellectual and moral growth than others, 

 therefore it follows as a natural consequence, that 

 the position and relation of the several planets to 

 our earth during the formative period of a child 

 does, to a greater or less extent, modify its hered- 

 ity.
