3.  The Law of Solar Evolution

It is, of course, a truism to state that the Law of Solar Evolution is the sumtotal of all the lesser activities.  We might consider this point in connection with the planetary atom, and the solar atom.  The planetary atom has, as all else in nature, three main activities:

1. First, it rotates upon its own axis, revolves cyclically within its own ring-pass-not, and thus displays its own inherent energy.

2. Second, the planetary atom also revolves orbitally around its solar center.  This is its expression of rotary-spiral-cyclic action, and its recognition of the divine central magnet.  

3. The third activity of the planetary atom is that which carries it through space along with the entire solar system, and which embodies its "drift" or inclination towards the systemic orbit in the heavens.  

4.  The Law of Radiation

Radiation is the outer effect produced by all forms in all kingdoms when their internal activity has reached such a stage of vibratory activity that the confining walls of the form no longer form a prison, but permit of the escape of the subjective essence.  It marks a specific point of attainment in the evolutionary process, and this is equally true of the atom of substance with which the chemist and physicist deal, when working with the elements, as it is of the forms in the vegetable kingdom, the forms in the animal kingdom, in the human, and, like-wise, in the divine.  

It might be of value here to remind the student also that three things have to be recognized in all manifestation:

1. First, that the tangible objective exterior, negative, receptive, and occultly unorganized, is without form and usefulness apart from the inner energy.  

2. Second, that the "true form" or the force-vehicle energizes and produces the cohesion of that which is unorganized.  

3. Third, that the "volatile essence," or the Spiritual essential Life, focuses itself in some one point within the "true form."

We must, therefore, consider:

• That which radiates.  
• That which is the subjective cause of radiation.  

It might be very briefly stated that when any form becomes radioactive, certain conditions have been fulfilled and certain results brought about, which conditions and results might be summed up as follows:

The radioactive form is one which has run through its appointed cycles, through its wheel of life, great or small, which has been turned with adequate frequency, so that the volatile life-essence is ready to escape from that form and merge itself in the greater form of which the lesser is but a part.  It must be remembered in this connection that radiation occurs when the Etheric or true form becomes responsive to certain types of force.  

SYSTEMIC MOTION

The Turning of the Wheel

We come now to the consideration of another point, and one of very real moment; it emerges out of what we have been saying anent cycles and is the basis of all periodic phenomena.  One of the most elementary of scientific truths is that the earth revolves upon its axis, and that it travels around the sun.  One of the truths less recognized, yet withal of equal importance, is that the entire solar system equally revolves upon its axis but in a cycle so vast as to be beyond the powers of ordinary man to comprehend, and which necessitates mathematical formulae of great intricacy.  

The orbital path of the solar system in the heavens around its cosmic center is now being sensed, and the general drift also of our constellation is being taken into consideration as a welcome hypothesis.  Scientists have not yet admitted into their calculations the fact that our solar system is revolving around a cosmic center along with six other constellations of even greater magnitude in the majority of cases than ours, only one being approximately of the same magnitude as our solar system.  This cosmic center in turn forms part of a great wheel till, to the eye of the illumined seer, the entire vault of Heaven is seen to be in motion.  All the constellations, viewing them as a whole, are impelled in one direction.
