The strange statements, in one of the Stanzas, that “_The Songs of __ Fohat and his Sons were_ RADIANT _as the noon‐tide Sun and the Moon combined_,” and that the Four Sons, on the _middle_ Four‐fold Circle, “SAW _their Father’s Songs and_ HEARD _his solar‐selenic Radiance_,” are explained, in the Commentary, in these words: “_The agitation of the Fohatic Forces at the two cold ends [North and South Poles] of the Earth, which results in a multicoloured radiance at night, has in it several of the properties of Âkâsha [Ether], Colour and Sound as well_.” “Sound is the characteristic of Âkâsha [Ether]: it generates Air, the property of which is Touch; which [by friction] becomes productive of Colour and Light.”(327) Perhaps the above will be regarded as archaic nonsense, but it will be better comprehended, if the reader remembers the Aurora Borealis and Australis, both of which take place at the very centres of terrestrial electric and magnetic forces. The two Poles are said to be the store‐ houses, the receptacles and liberators, at the same time, of cosmic and terrestrial Vitality (Electricity), from the surplus of which the Earth, had it not been for these two natural safety‐valves, would have been rent to pieces long ago. At the same time it is a theory that has lately become an axiom, that the phenomenon of the polar lights is accompanied by, and productive of, strong sounds, like whistling, hissing and cracking. See Professor Humboldt’s works on the Aurora Borealis, and his correspondence regarding this moot question. 7. MAKE THY CALCULATIONS, O LANOO, IF THOU WOULDST LEARN THE CORRECT AGE OF THY SMALL WHEEL.(328) ITS FOURTH SPOKE IS OUR MOTHER(329) (_a_). REACH THE FOURTH FRUIT OF THE FOURTH PATH OF KNOWLEDGE THAT LEADS TO NIRVÂNA, AND THOU SHALT COMPREHEND, FOR THOU SHALT SEE (_b_).... (_a_) The “Small Wheel” is our Chain of Spheres, and the “Fourth Spoke” is our Earth, the fourth in the Chain. It is one of those on which the “hot [positive] breath of the Sun” has a direct effect. The seven fundamental transformations of the Globes or heavenly Spheres, or rather of their constituent particles of matter, are described as follows: (1) _homogeneous_; (2) _aëriform_ and _radiant_—gaseous; (3) _curd‐like_ (nebulous); (4) _atomic, ethereal_—beginning of motion, hence of differentiation; (5) _germinal, fiery_—differentiated, but composed of the germs only of the Elements, in their earliest states, they having seven states, when completely developed on our earth; (6) _four‐fold, vapoury_—the future Earth; (7) _cold_—and depending on the Sun for life and light.
