Earth currents, terrestrial magnetism, and atmospheric electricity are all due to the fact that the earth is an electrified conductor, whose potential is ever changing owing to its rotation and its annual orbital motion, the successive cooling and heating of the air, the formation of clouds and rain, storms and winds. All such changes are due to akashic magnetism incessantly generating electric currents which tend to restore the disturbed equilibrium by producing weather changes and sudden disturbances. It is the earth’s magnetism that produces wind, storms, and rain. The Sun has nothing to do whatsoever with rain, and very little with heat. High above our earth’s surface the air is filled with magnetic or meteoric dust, which does not even belong to our solar system. As earth is passing through space, millions of meteors and fine meteoric particles reach us daily, without having undergone any change, the magnetism of the earth keeping them in cohesion. The relative distribution and proportion of land and water on our globe may be due to the great accumulation upon it of meteoric dust — snow, especially in the northern regions, being full of meteoric iron and magnetic particles; such deposits are found even in the bottom of oceans and seas. And, therefore, the northern hemisphere receives a greater proportion of meteoric dust than the southern, because of the number of continents and abundance of snow and moisture. Our Master calls meteoric dust a “mass,” for it is really one. Every atmospheric change and abrupt disturbance is due to the combined magnetism of the two great masses between which our atmosphere is compressed! Our earth’s magnetic attraction of meteoric dust, and the direct influence of the latter upon the sudden changes of temperature, especially in the matter of heat and cold, is still not a settled question. The Sun we see is not the central planet of our little universe, but only a veil or reflection of the Central Spiritual Sun of all Universes and solar systems. The head of a man in a strong ecstatic condition, when all the electricity of his system is centred around the brain, will represent (especially in darkness) a perfect simile of the Sun during such periods. The further the emanation of the Sun shoots out, the more it loses in intensity until, gradually subsiding, it fades out. Hence the rayed shape of the outer corona, whose effulgence proceeds from the magnetic nature of matter and electric energy — and not at all from intensely hot particles, as asserted by some astronomers. The Sun being the heart and brain of our Universe, we might compare its bright spots with the blood corpuscles of that luminary, though some of them are as large as Europe. The coronal changes have no effect upon the earth’s climate, though the spots have. The Sun is neither a solid, nor a liquid, nor yet a gaseous globe. It is a gigantic ball of electromagnetic forces, the store-house of universal life and motion, from which the latter pulsate in all directions, feeding the smallest atom as the greatest genius with the same material to the end of the Maha-Yuga. The Sun gives to All and takes back nothing from its planetary system. The Sun is Life itself, the all-pervading life, ever at work in its great laboratory. No planets, except one, have hitherto been discovered outside of the solar system, while we know with the sole help of our spiritual eye a number of them; every fully matured Sun-star having, like in our own system, several companion planets in fact. Every phenomenon is but the effect of the diversified motions of Akasha, the One Element and Causative Principle of All. There is a King-star, right behind Jupiter, that no mortal eye has ever seen during this Round. Could it be so perceived, it would appear as a small dimensionless point, thrown into the shadow by the brightness of any planet. Nevertheless, this Raja-Star is thousands of times larger than Jupiter.
There are Spirits and Spirits; High Planetary Spirits who have been human beings millions of ages since, and upon other besides our own planet; there are the illusionary appearances of these, projected upon the intra-psychic screen of our mediumistic, hence confused, perceptions; and there are seers and mediums, as there are great men of science, willing and sincere, but ignorant tyros. Spiritualism has spawned almost as many books as a herring does eggs. There can be no spiritual intercourse, either with the souls of the living or the dead, unless it is preceded by self-spiritualization, the conquest of selfishness, and the unfoldment of the nobler powers within us. Spiritualism and Theosophy are mere opinions and beliefs, and nothing more. They can no more claim to be regarded as “facts” than any other emotional belief, for the facts of one will be delusion in the eyes of the other. Spiritualists and Theosophists fully agree that there are higher and pure spirits outside the realm of our physical senses. But they entirely disagree as to the nature and causal agency of “communicating intelligences.” The “disembodied spirits,” instead of having become the wiser for being rid of the physiological impediments and the restraints of their gross material senses, would seem to have become far more stupid, far less perspicacious and, in every respect, worse than they were during their earthly life. As nations became restricted by their own tongue, the once-universal Mystery Language is being gradually denied to subsequent generations. While the disciples of Eastern Occultism are trying to purify matter, Western Spiritualists are striving to degrade spirit. Spiritualists and Theosophists travel along a parallel, if not quite identical, path. Yet, to those bereft of a metaphysico-spiritual vocabulary, Eastern Occultism will remain impassable to the babel tower of modern thought, caused by ignorance of the true meaning of words and their synonyms, a skin deep learning leading to mistaken notions, and the tendency of elevating misconceptions to the dignity of dogmas. If people would stop speculating, and would simply stick to substantiated fact, truth would be more readily attained in each and every case. Truth stands higher than any earthly consideration ever will. Let each of us show our facts and give our explanations; and let those who are neither Occultists, Spiritualists, nor sceptics, adjudicate between the contestant parties. The world must learn at last, under the penalty of falling back to superstitious beliefs in the biblical devil, why such phenomena do so happen, and to what cause or causes they are to be attributed. New Dispensation is the latest folly of dogmatic Christianity. We are not acquainted with a god who thinks, plots, rewards, punishes, and repents. The only god whom we serve is humanity, and our only cult is love of our fellow man. This our religion and dogma. Men have done their best to replace the solar rays with the false glare of error and fiction; none more so than the bigoted, narrow-minded theologians and priests of every faith, the sophists and perverters of the Spirit of Truth. Parsifal is the theatrical representation of good and evil in a supreme struggle. It is our universe, saved through atonement; it is sin redeemed through grace, and the triumph of faith and charity. Thus far, Pilate’s “What is truth?” has never been sufficiently answered to the satisfaction of narrow-minded sectarians. The Theosophical Society upholds and advocates only corroborated facts and Truth, and nothing but the Truth, whencesoever and from whomsoever it may come. Our views have to stand or fall upon their own merit, since we claim neither divine revelation nor infallibility. We will not serve Truth and Falsehood at the same time. Our policy is war to death to every unproved dogma, superstition, bigotry, and intolerance.

The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.
