The reader must take note, that the fire referred to here, is not the
perceptible fire, but the hidden occult fire, which is concealed in
all things, and only becomes evident through a tearing asunder of the
atoms. The fire, which we see, is the black fire, the other the unseen,
is the white fire. So the ancient Hebrew philosophy says, the Tablets
of the Law given to Moses, were written by the Deity with black fire on
white fire. It is referred to but concealed in the Maasey B’reshith,
the great occult book of which is the Book of Genesis.
ISAAC MYER.
A HINDU CHELA’S DIARY.
[_This was begun in the June number._]
“I have been going over that message I received just after returning
from the underground room, about not thinking yet too deeply upon what
I saw there, but to let the lessons sink deep into my heart. Can it be
true—must it not indeed be true—that we have periods in our development
when rest must be taken for the physical brain in order to give it
time as a much less comprehensive machine than these English college
professors say it is, to assimilate what it has received, while at
the same time the real brain—as we might say, the spiritual brain—is
carrying on as busily as ever all the trains of thought cut off from
the head. Of course this is contrary to this modern science we hear
so much about now as about to be introduced into all Asia, but it is
perfectly consistent for me.
“To reconsider the situation: I went with Kunâla to this underground
place, and there saw and heard most instructive and solemn things. I
return to my room, and begin to puzzle over them all, to revolve and
re-revolve them in my mind, with a view to clearing all up and finding
out what all may mean. But I am interrupted by a note from Kunâla
directing me to stop this puzzling, and to let all I saw sink deep into
my heart. Every word of his I regard with respect, and consider to
hold a meaning, being never used by him with carelessness. So when he
says, to let it sink into my ‘heart,’ in the very same sentence where
he refers to my thinking part—the mind—why he must mean to separate my
heart from my mind and to give to the heart a larger and greater power.
