[Footnote 39: “There is an invisible organism in man, not placed within the _three substances_; a body which (unlike the material one) does not come from the _Limbus_ (matter) but has its origin in the living breath of God. It is not a body coming into existence after death, to rise up on the judgment day; for the physical body being a nonentity (unreal) cannot become resurrected after death, neither shall we be called upon to give account about our physical health and disease; but we shall be judged according to the things that have issued from our will. This spiritual body in man is the flesh that comes from the breath of God. There are two bodies, but only one flesh.” (“Paramir.” _Lib._ II., 8.)] [Footnote 40: Any person wishing for information on such points may find it in the literature of spiritism, mediæval witchcraft, in the “Lives of the Saints,” etc., etc. Volumes might be filled with such accounts, but phenomena are proofs only to him to whom they occur. A person having no experience of a thing is always at liberty to deny its existence, and it is far easier to call it a “superstition” than to arrive at its understanding by studying secret laws.] [Footnote 41: See: _Thomson Jay Hudson_. “The Law of Psychic Phenomena.”] [Footnote 42: “Arcanum” means mystery. The key to a mystery is its understanding. The Arcana of Paracelsus were not, as has been asserte by certain “authorities,” patent medicines whose composition he kept secret; but they were his knowledge of the means for effecting a cure. He says:—“If there is a stone in the bladder, the _arcanum_ is the knife (for performing lithotomy), in (acute) Mania phlebotomy is the arcanum. An arcanum is the entering into a new state, the giving birth to a new thing.” (_Lib._ “Paramir.,” I. 5, II. 2.) Every plane of existence has its own mysteries and arcane remedies.] [Footnote 43: H. P. Blavatsky’s “Key to Theosophy,” p. 201.]
