232 Shadowings 



in the brain at rare moments of our sleep-life ? 

 The limited human consciousness has been beau- 

 tifully compared to the visible solar spectrum, 

 above and below which whole zones of colors 

 invisible await the evolution of superior senses ; 

 and mystics aver that something of the ultra- 

 violet or infra-red rays of the vaster Mind may 

 be momentarily glimpsed in dreams. Certainly 

 the Cosmic Life in each of us has been all things 

 in all forms of space and time. Perhaps you would 

 like to believe that it may bestir, in slumber, some 

 vague sense-memory of things more ancient than 

 the sun, memory of vanished planets with 

 fainter powers of gravitation, where the normal 

 modes of voluntary motion would have been like 

 the realization of our flying dreams ? . . .
