another without mingling. Distance is modified or does not exist. All things are at once united by sympathy or antipathy.

The sphere of the Powers of the second Triad is the Spiritual sphere, which might also be called the sphere of expansion and concentration. Here rule the fifth and sixth dimensions; that is to say, creation in the void by the afflux of the forces of infinity.

With the third Triad we enter the highest Divine sphere, that of the Infinite and Eternal, which transcends Space and Time, but commands them.

These Powers form a ladder or chain by means of which God, the Gods, the Elements and Man become a conjoined and indivisible Whole, which generates and organizes Itself, and evolves steadily and integrally along parallel lines. The superior Gods engender the inferior Gods, who engender the Elements, of which Matter is only the appearance, and of which Man, existing in germ since the beginning, gradually becomes the center and pivot.

Seen from above downwards, this ladder or chain shows the Ray by means of which the Gods see the World and Man. That is the side of Light. Seen from below upwards, it represents the prism by means of which Man sees the World and the Gods. This is the side of Shadow.

THIS is God’s car. God’s hand is at its wheel. His wisdom chooses its ways, which are as the highway of the Spirit. Nothing can impede its progress, and it neither gives nor receives offense in all its journeyings. God’s law of order and right adjustment is manifest in all its mechanism. God’s love directs its errands. No fear alarms its occupants, for God’s presence blesses them with the spirit of peace.

The driver of this car is an emissary of Spirit. God’s wisdom inspires in him alertness, good judgment, and quick decision. God’s patience gives him temperance and courtesy. God’s love makes him swift in the service of Christ, and slow in response to destructive impulses. The Spirit of the Lord is upon him, and directs him in all his ways.—Anonymous.
