CONCLUDING REMARKS 281 



power of direction of this world to the administration of the 

 Angels of Light, the Angels of Love and the Angels of Know- 

 ledge. This division is not altogether fanciful, but is only 

 another illustration of how much further Persian astronomy 

 and knowledge were advanced than is usually comprehended. 



Now I have illustrated that the first seven days of creation 

 contain the combination of the three first attributes of God the 

 Father and God the Mother, and that so soon as the first 

 attribute of God the Soul enters into Creation the first evolution 

 of the world is psychical rather than physical and is invisible 

 instead of being visible, which completes the likeness to God. 

 It therefore appears to follow that the mass we call Ether is 

 infinite, for it has neither size, bounds nor shape, and nothing 

 is impervious to its entry, influence or control, and from it 

 must emanate all else : (a) Light and power of Creation of 

 distribution ; (b) Heat and Power of Affinity, Love or Chemical 

 Action; (c) All electrical or radial energy of motion, mind 

 or thought, or the organisation we call the forces of order, con- 

 struction or control which make up the psychical influence we 

 call Wisdom, or Science of Understanding, or Mind and Soul. 

 My Hypothesis opens up to the scientific student of Chemistry, 

 Natural Philosophy and Evolution a logical basis of arrange- 

 ment of Knowledge, Comprehension and Understanding utterly 

 unattainable without its aid. The logical deduction is that 

 the substitution of the word Ether in the place of the Spirit of 

 God in no way lessens the deity of the Spirit, or His right to 

 call for the veneration given to God in the past, 

 because His attributes were beyond our understanding. For 

 God will be no less God because we understand His power the 

 better. This my hypothesis brings within the limits of human 

 comprehension, and it appears to me that a better knowledge 

 of God and a clearer understanding of our relation to Him, 

 connection with Him and dependence on Him, would tend to 

 increase our ambitions to be worthy of the trust He imposes 

 upon us by allowing us to exist, rather than weaken our vene- 

 ration of Him. 



It therefore appears a logical outcome of this channel of 

 thought, first, that Light is the material fluid that is the 

 current of the Potential Energy of God the Father as it flows 

 along the river-bed of infinite ether. Second, that Heat is the 

 material demonstration of the potential energy of God the
