Ric envelopes, and the "note" is "heat." Step into the shade, where the ocean of ether is vibrating more slowly, and the ether of the body reduces its vibration. "The ether is the origin of all force and of all phenomena." This etheric
matter follows identical laws with prakritic matter, or, accurately, the laws of our matter flow from the etheric matter from which it is made. The ether has
two hundred or more elementary
substances, each atom
of our eighty or ninety "elements" being the chemical union of great masses of two or more of the etheric elements or their
combinations. These etheric elementary substances combine and unite; our elementary substances simply following in their combinations the law which they inherit from their parents. They take form and shape. They vibrate through one octave, and take solid liquid or gaseous form in ether, as their types here in our world take it in
prakriti, as their vibrations are increased or diminished. In short, the ether is the prototype of our physical or prakritic world, out of which
it is made and a product of which it is. As this ether is "physical" matter, the same as prakriti, one harmonic law covering both, and as this ether fills all space, Modern Science divides physical matter into two kinds, which, for convenience in differentiation, are here called prakritic and etheric. Matter is something--science does not know or care to know what --in vibration. A very low octave of vibration pro
