Whut is Vibration? Scientists tell us that © E l l V t 3 X - A _ I N " D . A ,in the wonderful simplicity of Vibration lie all complexities of change in form and color, making our earth such a beautiful and glorious home. Visible Vibration proves the existence of an Esoteric Vibration, as a cause and mauifestor of the visible.

Have you over attempted to define a vibra tion? Did yon ever formulate an explanation o f where the effect begins, arid in what it ends V Did it ever seem plausible to you there is but one law of nature, and that the law of Polarization? Wpujd you believe the assertion a s a corollary to this proposition that there exists but one motion,and that is Vibration? Life is a Vibration* and death the cessation thereof.

These and other simitar questions, Dr. W. P . Pioblon, who has a reputation as a teacher, lecturer and writer on mystic subjects, lucidly discusses in Esoteric Vibration,” on the lines o f t h e j I , % 0therliood.

V0l.7 ."TEMPLE TALKS.

-------- Nos. 21 ami 22.W H A T IK T H K H E U M R T IC H H O T H K U lfO O D ?

PEOPLE who come ami hear us talk of the Hermetic Brotherhood doctrines, say to ns; u Well, now, what is it-you .believe? What is it you arc trying to do?” Our reply generally is, we are trying to find Hod and His truth.

This embraces all truth, all knowledge, all wisdom there is in the Universe. In, out and from It comes to us whatever we can receive.

.It is not because we are not in touch with the truth, nor because it is not vouchsafed for us; nor, as it is said in some of the sacred writings, the feast is not spread, with everything we desire; for everything that belongs to God belongs to us, as His children and it is freely offered to us. But it is because we are not ready to receive it, or we have not reached the capacity lo receive. 1C we will but accept in all fullness, we may be sure our Father will furnish us with still more. We have no need to complaiu, or to blame any one but ourselves, if we do not perceive and un derstand.

We are then seeking the truth. We are not seeking truth through any par ticular source. I t is not sufficient evidence, in any discussion, or any talk for en lightenment, if 0 ur opponent says: “ Madam so and so, says so and so, ” or “Misterso and so, says so and so.” That is not evidence enough'of the truth of the prop osition. The thing, that must conic to every one is. an eternal satisfaction that the thing presented, coincides with all the other truth assimilated. If it does not coincide, then we are not ready to receive it. It may be true for all that, but. we have not come to the place in our building where it tits the structure.

The old story of the keystone of the arch has been told over and over again, how they who found it* handled it, but could not tell what to do with it, as we do not know what to do with.many.truths coming to ns. • As many of us now-u-days would do, they flung it into the rubbish pile, because they could- not understand

R . Too often are wo inclined to do the Banmihuig.. We fling trutiis tliai come tigt p is into the rubbish pile and say: “ Oh, well, this is ail nonsense, I t eah’f belrni|lff’i never heard of it before and I don’t believe anybody else ever did. T don’t b |j j

S®dsieve it!” • Whereas, it may be the truest oJbadl,truth. The only question uiih us | is , we do not know where t® place it. If we arc patient and carefully .1 "-or* «udl Ikeep that which is worthy "of: memory, sooner or later we will find aid.u v \Nhei*‘| | | | |^ill be of value and use. Just as in the ancient days .there was the building of Hjjjj

Inarch and the center, in this center the keystone fits, so there comes a door whioS Shat truth will unlock. We have no business, under any circunlstapces whatevo||f to discard n truth because a certain person brings it. Our deal is always wilh ilp j

fcessage, not’ with the bearer. There, may be .tyjiost important word brought ii§fj >by a gamin from the streets, or may be brought by a king in an imperial equipugl|| -•but in. whatever way it is brought we are not to question, it. Our dealing is on-

|| |i i r e ly with the truth. . .. r::'These are two points we make. .First we will receive with consideration any

ffpVuth that comes to us. Second, we deny not its right to be discussed because we Illjat the present moment are unable to discover it.i|0-- The next thing we believe and know to bo true is the power of the Silence,

StWe hear ft great deal in these days of what are called absent treatments. We have proved these projections of power have force, by actual demonstration. I.f we can create the first little ripple, we can broaden and widen it until everthing becomes possible to us. it lias been distinctly stated in our Record of the Adepts, “ That

•^she who ofTomleth one of these little ones shall pay the penalty.” Ho whatsoever? lift we do or say we are distinctly responsible for."Jjp. And further, we believe there should-be a constant current or stream of force j§ |along the line of the higher instruction by which we may come in direct connec- ft.tiou with.the God who is all. This current shall be put forth,guided and directed

by those who know and are -still willing to be taught.. The Hermetic Brotherhood >feha8 moved along these lines for years. We have demonstrated, overand over agaiu

every single item which I have named to yon. I am absolutely certain when wo desire full demonstration on ntiy line, we are in position to receive exactly what is

J&lbost for the purpose sought.||fi. The travelling lias-taken a long time. It is as if we had called an army to the If?: field from workshops and farms,* those who came to defend their country in re ’l l gponse to the call had to be trained in certain evolutions and conditions. There is

^nothing obligatory,except the love for God and our fellowman. Those who have ^started to train themselves and to be trained have found oftentimes how difficult it •Js to bring to those who volunteer the same unanimity of thought which some; ftimes come under compulsion; but it can and will come. It lias come in a measure, iWe are sura the brotherhood is in perfect shape to demonstrate to' the world, as no [Other organization is demonstrating, the united power of the Visible and the tnvis- Uble. Those who are trained by the spirit of God and His messengers, can be united

pfor the upbuilding uf-humanity. And we stand also ready to unite, shoulder to Tshoulder, with ev.ery other man, .woman, or organization willing and desirious of Ccmnpunioiislup amk friends, * We desire to help uplift every single imit -from the

shadow into the shine, so we shall hI.iuh! u s brothers of Christ Jesus, as He declared we should he. Whatever Jesus stated himself to be, he also declared us Ilia broth ers, under a common Father, and we have a right to claim our kinship from the in finite. Whatever Jesus is to the world and to God, we, too, must become.

ThiVis Hermetic doctrine, and it is what wears seeking to attain - oneness with the Father. I t is the one doctrine that has stood through all these years us the* type of altruism. No opposer of the doctrines',Jesus taught has ever accused him of selfishness.

Devoting ourselves then, for the year tha t is upon us to the same line of self devotion, helpfulness and Hie desire to do good, i commend you to the care of the messengers who guide, preserve and direct us. On k o f t h is Ma c h .

AT tJieappoi}Jtedhonr,afterrcpetitionof the inanlrtm , instead of the usual medita tion, request was made o f the members

to assist-the Second E lder Brother give a treat m ent,

Mme. de Blelski’s exposition of the sign of Sagittarius' was the next number. The earth is passing through this sign at the present time. Therefore the explanation of the transits of the different planets, their rela tion to tun! effect upon the world generally, was vitally interesting. Touching Biblical points in the same connection, made it doubly instructive.

Reading of the Scribe’s report followed. Remarks from Members present showed that

though the past mon.th was the shortest of the year, measured by days, it had been crowded from beginning to end with events of more or less import. There, were numy very earnest testimom/ds. These brief talks are often of great good to all. They not only aid us in remembering blessings which conic our wav, but the training in the effort to clothe one’s thought in words bus been beneficial. Beyond all thls.it develops nnd strengthens the feeling of comradeship more than anything else.

The announcement of the coming Convoca tion on the 2 6 th day of March, was heard with manifest signs of approval.

Inquiry having been made as to what the School of Hermetic Philosophy "was doing, the Second Elder Brother made a brief statement of its present stains. At the beginning of the fall work, the matter of classes to be held in the

* * * *city was discussed, and it was deemed best not to make any immediate arrangement. The Second Hide/ Brother was called to New York in September. The Elder Brother was then sent for to teach a class in Pittsburgh, Pa. Upon the return of both the possibility of the Elder Brother’s visit to Ban Prancisco was agi tated. The approach of the holiday season did not permit of consecutive work. There seems now, however, to be an imperative demand for a primary class of instruction, and this will be organized within a very few days. An ad vanced class will be arranged for, whenever

•there.may be a demand. Pnrtiouhiis will ghully be furnished upon application.

Have you ever noticed a 'violinist as he makes ready to play ? The instrument is thoroughly tested. Each string is sounded, and made taut. lie touches each one ami listens for the response. Perhaps this string is drawn too tightly and another needs tight ening, There is quite a hit of maneuvering be fore he is perfectly satisfied it is quite in time. Not one bar of music is attempted until the vi olinist is convinced all is in readiness. When the preliminaries have been finished, he gives himself up to hours of patient, painstaking practice, work that requires dose mental appli cation, as well as a skillful hand. Not only does lie test the instrument each day, to see that it holds its tone, Imt often between bars there is a slight adjusting.

This is Uie parallel we would draw: Theplayer is the I?go; the instrument upon which it operates is the body.

Now, the object of the tryst is intended to cover ami accomplish this very thing, to put us iu tune, not only with ourselves, but with life Infinite, who is all love, peace and harmony.

It is very impuilaiU that Jo this purl ol om ’'raining be given careful attention. In the liturry anil pressure of the daily duties, we are apt to let it slip occasionally and then bye mid bye, it is, neglected altogether.

It is absolutely necessary we find out the con dition of the instrument with which we expect vto work before starting out. . i t one string is •jjoo tense, turn the key gently and relax, else U may snap upon slight pressure at an inoppor tune moment and leave us at a disadvantage. If another is loo lax, apply an opposite turn of. the key. One cannot expect harmony of sound .from an imperfectly adjusted organism.3 So before beginning the day’s work, our /teachers have asked us to go into the Silence, each morning, as near the same time as pos sible, be the time long or short, as we have /heed or opportunity; there we shall seek to.put mrselvesin touch and tunc with the Infinite.

$jThe time so spent will not he wasted, for you A y i l l go forth with your forces fully eoneeu- |& trated atui under control, strengthened, invig-

orated and fully prepared for any and every -

S ilting that may come up during the day.| :*fhe wisdom of doing this as early in the • morning as possible will be recognized, when

ijj&zwe realize that the music of the day, is set to .J§ the key which you determine by your menial in s ta te and altitude cm waking. If you open |P|ryour eyes inspired by some high thought or J&fpurpose, the petty things belonging to every

life fail to harass and you pass ouward from conVjtiering.to compter.

As life is only the stringing together of days, SjP? (very much as a hinder puts the pages of a book ^.“‘together,) il remains with us to say whether iUt our life song shall be a triumphant anthem, f-y-" full of harmony and uplifting, or a medley of

8 discord.• It will he only u few days more and we shall greet the Klder (trother. While he will bring Us news of the work accomplished in the West

shall also be able to make good report of fjtlvour own doings.

San Francisco sends the following brief ^report.

The limldah chant was repeated and Dr, Phelon presided as Elder Brother. The Mas* fer of Ceremonies read a selcctiott pertaining to life, A prayer was chanted and the meditation continued. Bra. George It. Neal ^aspresented for initiation, which was conducted In the usual way. The knots were also instructed in vibratifig Hie ancient wore’of potency and har monizing force. Next in order was concentra tion on the yiantrini, after which tin* brothers gave expression to their conception of their relation to the Brotherhood audits iclulioffto humanity. Minutes and Treasurer’s report were read and accepted. The name of Mrs.S. Drew was proposed and accepted as a can didate for initiation at the next meeting.

An appiopriate resolution was adopted rela tive to the passing away of our former com rade, W. C. Kingsbury.

The knot has gained but one member the past year but it lias grown much hi spiritual power and insight and a fuller appreciation of the Hermetic Brotherhood and its.teachings."

! The Knot at Troy, N. Y., is growing in in terest. The last Full Moon was to us a par ticularly marked occasion. Consciousness of “ the High! ’’ seemed as an overshadowing presence. In reply to the call of our Klder Brothers in last issue, we voice the sentiment of Knot 5 2 in saying: “ The grass still grows upwards, and the Fires are not quenched.” : \V« seek to “ obey His law "and absorb His love.

• LIGHT OH TH E SCIENCE OF ASTROLOGY,

(CONTINUED.) rT ^ H K three; Qrosses existing within our Cir-

I cle symbolize the three planes upon X which Man may manifest; the plane of

Experience, that of Knowledge and that of Understanding. Each plane has four phases of demonstration; each phase squares its particu lar Circle of limitation; these- phases tuny be specified as synonymous with the four ele ments of Earth, Water, Fire ami Air, corres ponding to the natural, the moral, the intel lectual and spiritual Man.

The phase of Earth or Natural upon the plane of Experience demonstrates that class of Souls living simpfy and naturally with the hu man Energy bent towards the external condi tions of life; obedient to their Will in the di rection of physical needs; moderate, patient, methodical and enduring. They are the insti gators of all inaterialized effort. They hold that active principle of Will, which put forth in any direction brings results in proportion to the amount of Desire it creates.

The phase of Water, or the Moral upon the plane of Experience is the reflex of the Earth phase and assists to bring forth the Desire, to direct the Will with more definite purpose, to give it color and tone, firmness ami strength, that the moral quality inherent in Man may become more .substantial, perpetuating itself through generation. This is the natural method of all growth, the method through which the human SouJ comes into recognition of its possibilities and learns to make, use of tjie the five physical senses as its means towards conviction and realization. There is nothing '* Evil " in*this condition. The Evil comes only when Man perverts his Will, his desires, his obedience into an obstinate resistance against learning the lessons taught by his ex perience, and falls into the abuse of knowledge gained through the natural ami moral phases, which inevitably must lead him to lust and ignorance.

The phase of Fire, or the intellectual upon the plane of Experience, demonstrates the l,ove Principle throughout all Creation being centered and made use of for furfhering the ex ternal interests of Mankind through genera tion, through organization, through* the family, the community, the state aqd nation. This class become the experimenters^ the research--

ers, the constructors, but they gain their knowledge mostly through their mistakes, ami we generally find them tearing down and build ing up, for they are bound to grow actuated by the Spirit of Love, and in harmony with this Principle the construction of one organization suggests something- larger and better until *•. Harmony emerges into the emotional and the Soul looks to the next phase, which is the spiritual--for completion. The spiritual phase signified by the element of Air upon the plane of Experience demonstrates that degree of at tainment which is characterized by all great Souls when they recognize the Divine Voice within themselves and come into Conscious Union with the Principle of Truth and Right eousness, reaching out towards all the four phases of this Cross to make the perfect Man. Such an one was Moses, and the Cross of Ex perience symbolizes the fulfilling of the Law according to the Mosaic formula ami the Books of the Old Testament.

The majority of the human race manifest upon this Cross,

The Cross of Experience holds that portion of the Circle from 3 0 ° to 6o° and their oppo sites from 2 1 0 0 to 2 4 0 °; from 1 2 0 ° to 1 5 0° and their opposites from 3 0 0 ° to 3 3 0 *-’, Including the invstic potency of the angle 1 0 4 5 °.

It contains the basic Principles of creation ami Manifestation, Divine Will, Infinite Love, Supreme Knowledge and Universal Under standing, which are to become recognized and realized by every human Soul,

It is the mystical Tan Cross of Egypt and Babylon and holds the germ of all Wisdom.

The four fixed signs of the Zodiac occupy the angles of this Cross. Taurus—the Bull, the Natural. Scorpio—the Eagle or Scorpion, the Moral. Leo—the Lion, Love ami Intellect; and Aquarius- tlie Man, the Spiritual.

Herein is contained a suggestion of the story of tl»e human Soul through the realm of Ex perience from Genesis to the last Book of the Old Testament.

DRESS.•Tho apl^roi oft proclaims ho man.”—Hhakonpearo.

UIK apparel should at all times proclaim the man, and will, when the present un natural, and hypocritical era is outgrown,

ress should,as naturally be os man, the ex pression of the inner life, as it-i»*on squirrel and ijay. We rail at fashion, and well may do so ?whcn like Dyspepsia, Dress becomes the Master flJJd man the slave. Dress because the witliin ■ demands it, as its expression and it is religion- ho do so. Dress for any other reason and it is a 'profanation of, the temple of the Holy Ghost. i'Dress because it is fashion, because you desire ■ applause,!to outvie others, to ape a superior, !vto compete with the wealthy, or to show your -taste, wealth or position, and you enter the kingdom of hell.■ Dress because it is an expression of your love

of beauty, because your desire calls for it, be cause |you feel better spiritually, oV for any ' reason that comes up from within, and dress is

i^the wayto the kingdom of heaven. The free t| bouI will move with pride in fustian; the slave Iwill degrade the purple, Spirit is God, and no -tiara, or robe, con add to it dignity or beauty. The soul will give glory to the rags of a beggar,

Uvhile tlie beggarly spirit will destroy even the fluster of the crown.

Let the innate love of the beautiful express itself in robe and adornment. Beauty is as natural to man as to violet and robin, to kitten or leopard.. The babe is always beautiful and .so are children at play until mothers make ’them ugly in clean clothes and clean manners. /,• But in relation to dress always remember that

the human body is the perfection of beauty. Nature's masterpiece in every way, iu mechanic, power, beauty. It is the perfect expression/^ God. “ God manifest in the flesh.” It will

5 adorn and make holy any thing or place.Naught can add to it. It is the one thing " al

to g e th er lovely” and he who approaches it i conies to holy ground’. Then let him lay oft .from his feet all sandals, ere he dare to tread -thereon. It is the high altar of Spirit and only " the incense of Truth and Dove should hum ; thereon. But oh how profaned? As if un seemly it is hidden from sight. Asst thing ob- : scene it is tabooed in conversation, and its most sacred functions made the jest of the vulgar

V and the silence p f t h e cultured. And to make - up for this profanation, it is restrained by dress

till it*loses its beauty, and .till the.femtdc por

tion unsex themselves, and man debases his sex by excess, until the creative.-power N turned to destroy, because body thut i«i en throned as king is nevertheless degra led in Thought, and Thought is the only creative powerman possesses. Thijs dress-con'e, in .is a makeshift, and an apology frotft man to him self, from'the low position which his Thought controlled by degraded passion, lias i educed his body, by'broadcloth and silk and jewel he would make a fit receptacle, since he presumes God did not, for his soul.

Nowastheinost beautiful expression of L a m regard the body, then to it, neither beauty nor grace can be added for it is beauty and grace; There is nope elsewhere, for man, in his thought, makes beauty and ugliness. standard is himself.’ From the evolved beauty of his soul his body is builded, and is us much beyond the beauty of bird and beast as his soul is beyond theirs on the road of evolution.

The human body then is adorned by nature with all the possible attributes of Divine Beauty, and no matter whether by cross or throne, in birth or baptism, in cradle or coffin* in sleep ing or in procreation, it is beautiful and holy. If it is holy, or in any part concealed* let U be because some need of the sou! is suMcrvcd in this concealment; or some part is too sacred, : for the vulgar gaze; the veil is dropped before -

, the Holy Of Holies.Det this be your thought of body and no mat

ter whiit you do with it, you add‘to your ex*. pression through it, of the Beauty of Spirit,• and whether you go to the wilds, and are

clothed only with sunshine and wind, or are clad in silks of Cathay and jewels of India, n man is there and therefore there is God. As sunlight through the chalice makes it more beautiful, so Thought will shine through dress and make it beautiful.

As long as one is conscious of being dressed lie is not well dressed. The painter Elihu V«d- der says: " No one is well dressed, save when in bathing or masquerade.” And here almost. alone, in the experience of life, is tnnn free. In all the rest of his dress, heads a tie, and no where docs he He worse, or loose his individu ality more effectually througli conformity, or

. through habit, than by his dress. Therefore many reformers become exdentric end outre in dress. Thereby their individuality is devel oped.. But when dress has served its purpose iu them in this tine, they fall back asf did Mrs. Bloomer qnd many a dress reformer since to

t . u o \ \Mi, «l j/CI M>U •

not realizing Hint to advise one how to dress, is an interference and an impertinence' that no self-respecting person will consciously allow, no m atter how much they are unconsciously th e slave of fashion,

Dress then in perfect freedom and In love of the beautiful. Adorn the body as does a devotee a sacred temple. Let no unholy thought he con nected with th a t tem ple. All the functions, all the appetites, all its demands are holy and from God, mandates of the .soul. Heed them in love of beauty, and life will be an expres- siau , divine.

And since For want of space I cannot elab orate here as I would, suffice it now to say;— extend this principle to the home, the grounds, to society and nation, and beauty will be, ns she ever has beon, m an’s redeemer.

TH E EGOTIST.. I am the greatest.

O thers have won fame, but 1 sec their errors. I see how they could have made more of them selves.

No man can surpass me in judgm ent, for 1 m ust pass judgm ent on all.

My knowledge is lim ited only by my uuuu- festations. •

Rven God I m ust pass judgm ent upon. He m ust meet my standard of perfection.* Therefore I create God, therefore I am greater

than God, for God is only one of my m ani festations.

ality, the Kgo,You, loo, are I. You arc a God-maker.You worship yourself when you worship God,

for God is your own reflection.W hen you learn new truths, do yon not pass

judgm ent and say; "T ilts is good?"Thereby you deglare your sovereignty, forty;

who jsgrt;ater than tru th is supreme,I am all. When 1 approve a truth it is a rec

ognition that it is part of me.Then what are you, if I am supreme? You

too Are supreme, for you are even ns I,The ego is oue, but it Hath as many manifes

tations as there are consciousnesses.Of consciousness there is no limitation, albeit

Us manifestations vuiy.I am persistent. I am immortal. When my

present muuffeslatinm; shall cease I shall per sist in other manifestations.

This is the mystery of the resurrection, for the only resurrection is the persistency of the CgO.

Altruism is blind egotism, for there is no other than 1.

The law of nature is the persistency of the ego; hence the desire of ail things for life.

1 am superior to laws, for laws are attempts to restrict others than the law makers. Put ■ there, are no others. ICach is an ego, even as I am I.

War then is futile, for llu; ego cannot be ex- ’ term inated.

I tint bi-sexual, male and female.My male manifestation is the begetter; my

female manifestation is the transmitter.The begetter is powerless w ithout the trans

mitter; the transm itter is powerless without the begetter. Yet the begetter is not superior to the transmitter.

Transm utation would be slow with only one Irnnsimilcr and many begetters; but with many transmitters and only om; begetter transm uta tions may be rapid.

I must be free, since 5 am supreme. 1 must be free both us a begetter and as a transmitter.

When any man js enslaved, I am enslaved; when any woman is enslaved 1 am enslaved.1 am itiait-wimian.

. But the persistency of the ego will abolish slavery.

The persistency of the ego will abolish evil.The ego alone is good.T n u m l a t i ’t l f m i n f k x . ' i n n • ■ //>/ >•// /V<>/', II”. I l m i i n i u f

It is somewhat tiresome to hear some Spir itualists continually telling about being di rected by their “ guides ” in everything they do. It is “ My guides will not allow me to make such and such a move,” etc., ad nau seam. Even the editor of a Spiritual ex change gravely announces,“ We can do noth ing without the consent of our spirit, guides.” and says lie gets directions from them through mediums. In the cases of some me diums who are extremely sensitive it may be that unseen intelligence direct their general course more or less, but for those who are wot eenstliveenough to communicate directly with their spirit friends, to rely implicitly and blindly upon the advice or orders of al leged spirit guides, coming through this or that medium, looks to us not only unwise, but very risky. Our intelligence anti reason ing powers are given us for use, ami should not be entirely subordinate to any outside or unknown dictation.—Tim JMtor Way.

The author shows how this much lo be de- .sired condition may be attained, upon all planes of life, through the right understand* ing of the law of transmutation. This is presented in a simple way, so simple that those just entering upon the study of meta physical law, will easily grasp the idea, and its practical application.

“ Success” tells us how to make use of our forces; how to direct them so they may bring the greatest results. It teaches that trans mutation is inllnitely the highest’process by which to reach real success, either upon the business, physical, intellectual or spiritual plane.

An addition to idealistic literature.

In comparison with standard types such as Bacon's “ Atlantis, " or Moore's “ Utopia," it seems a trifle strained mid uriimtuml.becauhe of the daring, but never-lheloss skillful, in troduction of the Infinite Being, the immor tal Deity, and the-’pagun gods and goddesses.

The Watcher a t the Oates of Paradise, choosing from the wisdom of the Ages, pre sents tliis doctrine which is expounded in the book: “ The true marriage is perfect harmony, it exists from the moment of cre ation or re creation and eannol he lessened or added to, Ye have no knowledge of what the years have carried in trust since the (lutes of Paradise closed behind ye.
