The Light of Egypt; Or, The Science of the Soul and the Stars — Volume 2
Burgoyne, Thomas H.

Scientists may continue to predict, as they have been predicting,
the day when solar radiation will cease, but their predictions
will prove as worthless as the sighing of the summer wind, so far
as reality is concerned. "It is an incomprehensible mystery to
science," says Sir Robert Ball, in his "Story of the Heavens,"
"how the Sun has been able to maintain its heat with such
regularity in the past, for there has been no appreciable change
in the Earth's temperature for thousands of years." What it is
to-day it was ten thousand years ago--yea, Sir Robert Ball, and
will be in ten thousand years to come. You may wonder, and the
Royal College may wonder, but in the meantime the mighty,
pulsating Sun continues beating out its rhythmic vibrations of
spiritual and dynamic life--continues, and will continue, to send
the exhilarating current throughout every atom, to the remotest
part of his solar dominions, and the same current RETURNS TO HIM
AGAIN, UNDIMINISHED, for the purification which his glowing,
transmuting photosphere alone, can give, to be sent forward
again, upon its mission of light, life, and love, around the
vital, organic worlds of the astral organism. There is nothing
lost, no radiation of energy dispersed upon the unformed,
lifeless ether. From the radiating solar focus of Divinity it
comes, and to him, undiminished it returns, and so on forever and
ever; until the last Deific atom has won its laggard way back to
the shining throne of God.
The Sun breathes. The pulsating process of dynamic respiration,
eternally repeated during the grand period of a solar lifetime,
renews its vital energies, and supplies itself, with the full
abundance of the ever-living spirit, transmitted from the
shoreless ether in which it lives. It needs no other food, except
the magnetic nutriment it receives from each vital organ, or
planet, in return for the electrical life current it transmits to
them. Just as the human lungs inflate themselves with the vital
atmosphere, (which is only the ether, dynamically diluted by the
Earth to harmonize with our conditions), to oxygenate the blood
and add fresh fuel to the physical furnace, or supply finer
essences to the nervous centers. Just as the human heart, with
its continual, rhythmic pulsations, propels forth the circulating
fluid to every part of the human frame; so does the central heart
and lungs of the Grander Man of the Skies, (the Sun) send forth
its vitalizing energy to every part of the universe.
