“The Egyptians,” says Dunlap,[132] “distinguish between an older and younger Horus, the former the _brother_ of Osiris, the latter the _son_ of Osiris and Isis.” The first is the _Idea_ of the world remaining in the Demiurgic Mind, “born in darkness before the creation of the world.” The second Horus is this “Idea” going forth from the _Logos_, becoming clothed with matter, and assuming an actual existence.[133] “The mundane God, eternal, boundless, young and old, of winding form,”[134] say the _Chaldean oracles_. This “winding form” is a figure to express the vibratory motion of the Astral Light, with which the ancient priests were perfectly well {57} acquainted, though they may have differed in views of ether, with modern scientists; for in the Æther they placed the Eternal Idea pervading the Universe, or the _Will_ which becomes _Force_, and creates or organizes _matter_. “The will,” says Van Helmont, “is the first of all powers. For through the will of the Creator all things were made and put in motion.... The will is the property of all spiritual beings, and displays itself in them the more actively the more they are freed from matter.” And Paracelsus, “the divine,” as he was called, adds in the same strain: “_Faith_ must confirm the imagination, for faith establishes the _will_.... Determined will is a beginning of all magical operations.... Because men do not perfectly imagine and believe the result, is that the arts are uncertain, while they might be perfectly certain.”
