But then is a finer hearing, whose medium of transmission would seem to be the ether; perhaps no that ether which carries light, heat and magnetic waves, but, it may be, the far finer ether through which the power of gravity works. For, while light or heat or magnetic waves, travelling from the sun to the earth, take eight minutes for the journey, it is mathematically certain that the pull of gravitation does not take as much as eight seconds, or even the eighth of a second. BUT THERE IS A FINER HEARING WHOSE MEDIUM OF TRANSMISSION WOULD SEEM TO BE THE ETHER PERHAPS NOT THAT ETHER WHICH CARRIES LIGHT HEAT AND MAGNETIC WAVES BUT IT MAY BE THE FAR FINER ETHER THROUGH WHICH THE POWER OF GRAVITY WORKS FOR WHILE LIGHT OR HEAT OR MAGNETIC WAVES TRAVELLING FROM THE SUN TO THE EARTH TAKE EIGHT MINUTES FOR THE JOURNEY IT IS MATHEMATICALLY CERTAIN THAT THE PULL OF GRAVITATION DOES NOT TAKE AS MUCH AS EIGHT SECONDS OR EVEN THE EIGHTH OF A SECOND
iritual man, through the life-currents which bind them together, the personality is endowed with a new force, a strong personal magnetism, one might call it, such as is often an appanage of genius. But the text seems to mean more than this and to have in view the “vesture of the colour of the sun” attributed by the Upanishads to the spiritual man; that vesture which a disciple has thus described: “The Lord shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body”; perhaps “body of radiance” would better translate the Greek. In both these passages, the teaching seems to be, that the body of the full-grown spiritual man is radiant or luminous,-for those at least, who have anointed their eyes wit! eye-salve, so that they see. 41. From perfectly concentrated Meditation on the correlation of hearing and the ether, comes the power of spiritual hearing. Physical sound, we are told, is carried by the air, or by water, iron, or some medium on the same plane of substance. ROL OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN THROUGH THE LIFE CURRENTS WHICH BIND THEM TOGETHER THE PERSONALITY IS ENDOWED WITH A NEW FORCE A STRONG PERSONAL MAGNETISM ONE MIGHT CALL IT SUCH AS IS OFTEN AN APPENDAGE OF GENIUS BUT THE TEXT SEEMS TO ME MORE THAN THIS AND TO HAVE IN VIEW THE VESTURE OF THE COLOUR OF THE SUN ATTRIBUTED BY THE APONISHADES TO THE SPIRITUAL MAN THAT VESTURE WHICH A DISCIPLE HAS THUS DESCRIBED THE LORD SHALL CHANGE OUR VILE BODY THAT IT MAY BE FASHIONED LIKE UNTO HIS GLORIOUS BODY PERHAPS BODY OF RADIANCE WOULD BETTER TRANSLATE THE GREEK IN BOTH THESE PASSAGES THE TEACHING SEEMS TO BE THAT THE BODY OF THE FULL GROWN SPIRITUAL MAN IS RADIANT OR LUMINOUS FOR THOSE AT LEAST WHO HAVE ANOINTED THEIR EYES WITH EYE SALVE SO THAT THEY SEE SUTRA FORTY ONE FROM PERFECTLY CONCENTRATED MEDITATION ON THE CORRELATION OF HEARING AND THE ETHER COMES THE POWER OF SPIRITUAL HEARING PHYSICAL SOUND WE ARE TOLD IS CARRIED BY THE AIR OR BY WATER IRON OR SOME OTHER MEDIUM ON THE SAME PLANE OF SUBSTANCE
