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
