Phantoms of the mind! Because,to the senses and the untrained consciousness of profane and science,
everthing beyond beyond the line of differentiated matter-ie,out-side of,and beyond the realm ofeven the most spiritual-substance-has to remain for ever
Equal-to-nothing.It is the Ain-Soph-the No-thing.Yet these phantoms of the mind are in truth no greater abstractions than the abstract ideas in general upon evolution and physical development-eg,gravity,matter,force,etc,-on which the
exact sciences are based.Our most eminent chemists and physicists are
earnestly pursuing the not hopeless attempt of finally tracing to its hidng-place
the Protyle,or the basicline of the Pythagorean triangle.The latteris,as said,the grandest conception imaginable,as it symbolizes both the ideal and the visible
universes.For ifthe possible unit is only a possibility as an actuality of nature,
as an individual of any kind,and as every individual natural object is capable
of division,and by division loses its unity,orceases to be a unit,it is only in therealm of exact sciences in aworld asdeceptive as it isillusive.In the of the
esoteric sciences the unit divided ad-infinitum,instead of losing its unity,approaches with every division the planes of the only eternal-Reality!
