The Sun
Its Relation to Planetary Life. What is Radiant Energy? Why the Ancients
Worshipped the Sun. The Parsees the Present Sun Worshippers.
It is supposed to be a figure of speech, a mere bit of symbolism to call
the sun masculine and the earth feminine. To call the earth a woman. To
state that woman was made from man, etc. But when it is understood that
sex is nothing but polarity, that male and female, masculine and feminine
and positive and negative are synonymous terms, we begin to understand
the truly scientific nature of these expressions. They are purely
electrical terms. This sex or polarity is universal. The Macrocosm and
the Microcosm are the same. The Universe is not a Di-verse. Individuality
is not di-viduality. Every organism in the universe is thoroughly
bi-polar or bi-sexual, manifesting the eternal nature of its ultimate
component electrons.
The writer once saw hundreds of children under a common impulse come
swarming, dancing, from every quarter of a great city to a common meeting
place. As they rushed together en masse their individual movements
continued until out of the marching and counter-marching, the shifting,
changing, rearranging, re-adjusting there was evolved before his eyes
the flag of this nation with its glorious stripes and stars composed of
human boys and girls.
We have stated that ether, air, fire, water, earth, are but masses of
infinitesimally small particles—called electrons—of the one primeval,
universal substance, living their life of attraction and repulsion,
embrace and separation, forever whirling in their eternal “Maypole
dance.” Rushing together in a mad embrace, then darting away to seek
some other partner. Weaving in and out, in and out, around about, back
and forth, to and fro. This dance is called Creation—Evolution. It is an
eternal Brocken—an eternal Nachtspiel.
The sun is but one great mass of these whirling, vibrating, dancing
electrons. As varying numbers of these rush off and regroup themselves,
other planets are “born” or evolved. All depend upon the larger or parent
mass from which they parted. Our earth is but one of these children of
the sun. The earth is a woman, a beautiful woman, forever young, forever
fair. The sun is her father.
The sun is the primary source of the variety of forms of life on this
earth. While the electrical energy, or positive and negative impulse of
the electrons of atomic matter, constitute the eternal force or energy
called Life, only by the radiant energy of the sun in our system,
could we have the planets—of which our earth is one—and the varied
forms of activity evolved and maintained thereon. Our earth could no
more produce these higher forms of activity called mineral, vegetable,
animal, man,—all biological activities—without the sun, than the female
could produce offspring without the male. The sun is positive, the earth
negative. The sun’s vibrations reach our earth in about eight minutes
and acting upon its atmosphere, it finds a resistance or polarity out of
which is evolved light, heat and moisture.
Every molecule of our body is rotated into form and continues its
activities by the radiant energy of the sun.
Here again we see there can be no death. Every atom in the universe is
living, pulsating, vibrating electric energy.
The sun is like a great dynamo, rotating every planetary body into form
and position, and through its continued radio-activity carrying on the
further processes of creation called the evolution of sentient life. It
is often asked, “Are other worlds inhabited by sentient beings?” There
can be no reason for supposing otherwise. Given atmospheres, and the
radiant energy of the sun or suns, must by analogy evolve like results on
other planets.
We do not wonder the ancients worshipped the sun. They regarded it as
the source or author of their being—their Creator. The theologian calls
his creator God. But the Hebrew word for God is Elohim—creative forces.
John says, “The word was God.” The psalmist says, “Day unto day uttereth
speech.” What is speech but vibration? The sun is the source of all
vibration in the solar system. It has created this earth and all its
inhabitants. All forms of life on this planet, all activities, are but
the radiant energy of the sun.
