Each atom of the ether is the centre of a molecule of
prana, surrounded by an atmosphere of pranic atoms, exactly as
your prakritic atom is surrounded by an atmosphere of etheric
atoms. You say that each atom of prakriti is the centre of a
molecule of ether. So it is. But each atom of that etheric
molecule is the centre of a pranic molecule. Each atom of your
physical matter is triple, not double.
"You say that all physical phenomena come from the chording
vibration of the etheric and prakritic atoms of the two planes of
matter. Yes. But do you not see that all vital phenomena come
from the chording vibration of the pranic, etheric, and prakritic
atom of the three planes of matter which are in each atom?
"In the living leaf the three planes are sounding in chord in each
atom of it. In the dead leaf, drying up and falling to pieces,
only the lower two are sounding in chord. The silver chord has
been broken.
"Each atom of prakriti you say has the potentiality of some kind
of phenomenon. We add 'and of life also.' The potentialities of
life are in every atom of prakriti. Even the atom of iron may
live in the blood. It cannot become a part of any living
organism until its prana is sounding the chord of life in unison
with the ether and prakriti--the threefold silver chord.
"What is the centre of this prana? It is Alcyone. There are
other solar globes beside ours circling around Alcyone, and we
have been considering only our own solar globe of ether.
