The pranic globes created in this manasic skin by Sound, or the Logos, or vibration, evolved in identically the same way—­with a central static core and an outer static envelope, of low and high vibration in prana, creating attraction and repulsion, or gravity and apergy.  The kinetic skin between, in which these forces play in the pranic world, makes a real, not an imaginary pranic world, though but a faint reflection of the manasic.  When our father, the Central Invisible Sun, transfers his attraction to these alcyonic suns, the Light has something in which to manifest itself, and we “see” this manifesting core and call it Alcyone, and its manifestation Light; but light in its last material analysis is but the static mind or thought vibrating in the three lower notes of the octave.

The Dual Man

Within the alcyonic globes of differentiated pranic-manasic atoms the vibration divided them also into solid-liquid cores and gaseous envelopes, and a kinetic skin of phenomena.  And then a new world—­a world of Life, came into material existence.  All the atoms of thought or manasa, surrounding each and every pranic atom, and making its molecule of energy, so to speak, were that particular kind of kinetic manasa ready to change its rate of vibration within an octave, and the forms prana assumes from the action of thought within the kinetic belt were living and thinking.  Each pranic globe, which was a small state of product of the manasic, consisted of two globes in coadunition—­two in one.  Each pranic atom was the centre of a manasic molecule and represented the universe.  All things were two in one, created by harmonic vibration between them, and existence by the greater strength of the lower notes, or attraction.  It was at once less and more wonderful than the manasic world—­a specialized form of it.

When within this kinetic belt of the prana the etheric solar globes formed here and there, they were three fold, each atom of the new plane of matter having its surrounding envelope of prana-manasa—­a specialization of the pranic world in which (what we call) force had been added to life and mind.  The static ether, vibrating in each of its elements through one octave, divided into central core (our sun, and other suns) and outer covering, with a skin or belt of kinetic energy, “as above” which developed an etheric world.  All things on this etheric world were caused by the harmonic vibration between the etheric atoms and their surrounding envelopes, except that while all things in this etheric world must have life, not all need have mind.  The chord of three was not necessary to create; the chord of two was enough, and the manasic atoms might cease to vibrate in chord with the prana and ether without affecting the creation.  Only in the etheric world (and below it) could there be living mindless ones.  To the etheric globes the stellar pranic cores transferred their light, which manifested itself in the solid static ether as Attraction and in the gaseous static ether as Repulsion, within the kinetic skin of each etheric world more specialized and less varied than the pranic.
