Between the earth and the sun—­precisely speaking, between this laya center and the sun—­there is a “point of balance,” which falls within the photosphere of the sun.  This point in the sun is the earth’s solar laya, the occult or hidden earth of the metaphysics.

A diagram will make this clearer.  Draw a line from the laya center in the sun to that in the earth.  Draw a narrow ellipse, with this line as its major axis, and shade it.  At each end of the axis strike the beginning of an ellipse that will be tangent.  If positive energy is along the shaded ellipse, negative energy is in each field beyond—­earth and sun.  This is a very crude illustration of a fundamental statement elaborated to the most minute detail in explanation of all astronomical phenomena; but for the moment it will do.

The point is that along this axial line connecting the laya centers play all the seven solar forces—­light, heat, electricity, etc.—­that affect the earth, and on every side of this line is the “electric field” of these forces.  To this line any escaping solar energy is drawn, as the electricity of the air is drawn to a live wire or magnet.  But there is little or none to escape.  From the laya point in the sun to the laya point in the earth, the solar energy is transferred as sound is carried along a beam of light (photophone), or electricity from one point to another without a wire.

To the advanced student of electricity the ancient teaching is easily apprehended; to others it is difficult to make clear.  These laya centers, it says, are “the transforming points of energy.”  From the earth laya to the solar laya centre, the energy, we may say, is positive; beyond both the solar and the earth laya centre, in the fields touching at them, it is negative —­or vice versa.  The line connecting the layas is the “Path of Fohat”—­the personification of solar energy.

This is a very crude and brief way of putting many pages of teaching, but the important point is that this line between the layas is one of solar energy, with a dynamic “field” of solar energy, elliptical in shape, connecting with the reverse fields at the laya points.  These “dead points” are the limits of each electric field, which “create”, we say in electrical work, opposing fields beyond them.

Each one of these planets has its laya centre inside the sun’s photosphere.  Each planet has a line of solar energy with its “field” of solar energy—­not only a wireless telegraph, but a wireless lighting, heating, and life-giving system.  These six solar laya points are the six “hidden planets,” the earth and moon being one, of the ancient metaphysics.  The moon is the one “laid aside.”  In their reception of energy from the sun, it is as if the planet were at the solar laya point, or connected with it by a special pipe-line.  The position of these six planetary laya points in the sun is indicated by the position of the planets in the heavens, and they may often influence or modify one another.  If Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn is anywhere near conjunction with the earth, not only will a part of their “fields” be joined, but their laya points in the sun will be modified.
