СКАЧАТЬ electrical current that the hydrogen is separated from the oxygen, takes fire and burns with its characteristic violet flame in the released oxygen. Thus the two gases hydrogen and oxygen disappear. They have returned into the invisible, having been chemically released. If the imagination is active, it is easy to picture in the mind’s eye (the optic thalamus) the inverse operation, the process whereby the Great Chemist and Architect of the Universe invisibly unites or forges the two gases, oxygen and hydrogen, and precipitates them in the form of water. The unification is done by electricity, the hidden fire.

      Greek mythology tells us of the mighty Vulcan who forges the thunderbolts. Indeed, that literature is a compilation of scientific facts relative to nature and man, transmitted to us in beautiful and poetic language. The Bible contains the same facts but in noble and stately prose. Truly there is only one story of importance, the story of the process whereby humanity may ascend from the depths to the heights—perfection.

      Potassium is a soft, brilliant, bluish-white metal melting at sixty-two and five-tenths degrees to a liquid resembling mercury. In astrology Mercury is “the Messenger of the Gods” or ruling powers. Therefore we see how applicable the comparison is, for potassium is truly the food by which the gods, or gray matter, are nourished.

      The sensory nerves are the wires connected with the great generator of electrical energy, the cerebrum, the house of God or Aries. These ramify throughout the entire body, supplying electricity whereby all of its work is done.

      It is important to remember, that not only does this electrical system run the body, but it is actually the subtle substance with which thinking is done. For electricity is both energy and substance, although unseen by our eyes, which are incapable of responding to this high rate of vibration as yet.

      As potassium is a carrier of fire, perhaps it will be well to explain, at this point, what this research work has revealed relative to carbon-monoxide poison. Since the advent of the automobile a new cause of death has been added to the many already tabulated, and the newspapers frequently state that so-and-so was found dead in his car, the motor running and the garage doors closed, thus shutting out the purifying oxygen. As chemistry states, potassium has a tendency to unite directly with carbon-monoxide to produce a dangerously explosive body. It is my belief therefore that the sensory cells of the brain expand violently and thus burst, causing death.

      The spectrum of potassium is characterized by two sharply defined lines, one in the red and the other in violet. The wave length of the former is 0.0007680, and that of the latter 0.0004095. As red-violet or true magenta is the color of Aries, the above is conclusive proof that the potassium of Aries and the iron of Pisces forge together the closing links in the zodiacal circle of life. (See article on allocation of color with the zodiac elsewhere in this book).

      In Sir Thomas Vaughan’s works (sixteenth century) translated by A. E. Waite, the earnest student will find a mine of mineral wealth. He says: “Within this fantastic circle (the head) stands a Lamp, and it typifies the Light of Nature. This is the Secret Candle of God, which He hath tinned in the elements: it burns and is not seen, for it shines in a dark place. Every natural body is a kind of black lantern; it carries this Candle within it, but the light appears not; it is eclipsed with the grossness of matter. The effects of this light are apparent in all things; but the Light itself is denied, or else not followed. This Light or Fire is nowhere to be found in such abundance and purity as in that subject which the Arabians call Halicali, from Hali (Summum) and Calop (Bonum); but the Latin authors write it Sal Alkali.

      “This substance is the catholic (universal) receptacle of Spirits. It is blessed and impregnated with light from above, and was therefore styled by the magicians ‘a sealed house, full of light and divinity.’”

      In Arabic, potassium is given as Al-gali, from which the word alkali is derived. Studying the word, al-kali we find it means, literally, Father (al or el in Hebrew means God or father) and Kali, a Sanskrit word for fire. In the Vedic, an older form of the word means mother. Thus the true interpretation of alkali is father-mother, or positive and negative combined or harmonized, therefore a neutral substance. Indeed it is a chemical fact that it is alkaline.

      Vaughan refers to the above as “mineral doctrine,” which is very unique and absolutely true. We will be well on our way in the study of the chemistry of the body when we begin to realize that this is, indeed, a most necessary doctrine and must be religiously followed.

      Again Vaughan says: “For in Genesis he hath discovered many particulars, and especially those secrets which have most relation to this Art. For instance, he hath discovered the minera of man, or that substance out of which man and all of his fellow-creatures were made.” He elsewhere mentions the sperm of the world, as the first essence, which allocates perfectly with the first explanation herein of the brain substance, from the word cere-brum, or seed substance. Sperm means seed. Hali-Cali (potassium) is also termed “the casket which holds the Light, and links us up with God and Nature.”

      Sufficient proof has been given thus far, in these pages, that potassium is a most subtle substance of very high vibration, capable of holding within itself the fire of life, electricity, prana, or Spirit. Reviewing the information relative to the astrological interpretation of Aries and its definite relation to the cerebro-spinal system, we see that Dr. Carey’s allocation of Kali phos to the zodiacal sign Aries has been indubitably proved.

      Well may the wondrous cerebral substance be termed Proteus, for it truly is the Ancient of Days. In Greek mythology Proteus was a many-formed deity. Being composed of everything, he could revert back to anything, take any shape he wished, just as by chemical or electrical vibration all chemical substances will eventually be found to revert back to one.

      The word protoplasm is derived from the same root word as Proteus. If any one doubts that Kali phos or potassium phosphate is the chief substance in the gray nerve cells let him read the information furnished by any dictionary, encyclopædia or work on the physical body. Perhaps it will be well to explain what is said relative to protoplasm:

      Proto, meaning first, and plasm, meaning form, is the name for the viscous (sticky or glutinous) material of a vegetable or animal cell. Please be advised that the word glutinous is derived from the same root as gluten, a nutritious substance; a proteid; the sticky, albuminous part of wheat (ceres) flour.” It is, therefore, seed, a more or less granulated substance that forms the principal portion of an animal or vegetable cell.

      “Protoplasm was previously termed sarcode, or flesh. The protoplasm of most cells appears under the high power of the microscope as a network (spongioplasm or reticulum) containing a more fluid substance (hyaloplasm) in its meshes. Chemically it is a mixture of eighty to eighty-five per cent water, and fifteen to twenty per cent solids (chiefly proteids), with small quantities of fat, albumoses, globulins, and peptones.

      “It also contains small quantities of carbohydrates like glycogen, inosite, and mineral salts, especially those of potassium, which cause it to yield an alkaline reaction. Protoplasm has been called by Huxley, owing to its presence in all organized bodies, ‘the physical basis of life,’ and some have held that its phenomena show that the difference between organized and unorganized cells is simply complexity of chemical constitution. It is therefore a highly complex substance regarded as a mixture of different chemical substances.

      “Protoplasm is contractile and irritable and reproduces by self-division.”

      The above statement that protoplasm is contractile is absolute proof of the presence of Magnesium phos, the moving or motor salt, Calcium fluoride, the builder of elasticity, and Potassium phosphate, the electrical salt. We are here informed positively that the chief salt is potassium, for electricity, spirit, or the fire of life must ensoul all matter.

      In Gray’s Anatomy we find that the soft, jelly-like material termed cytoplasm found in the nucleated mass of protoplasm СКАЧАТЬ
