,christian-,egyptian religion was stolen
 from the  sun-worship of ,egypt and    
,india and other religious impositions4 
,when the  sun1 called ,ra and ,osiris  
in ,egypt1 identical with ,jehovah1 at  
the end  of each cycle of about #baee   
years1 entered a new sign of the zodiac1
 it  was said to be reborn1 or the son  
of god came in a character to           
correspond with the astronomical

the words ,god1 ,lord1 ,christ1 ,messiah
 and ,lamb are    capitalized they refer
 to ,christian deities1 otherwise to    
pagan gods4    ,when the sun entered the
 sign of ,taurus1 the bull1 god was     
reborn1 or  christ came as the bull1    
called ,apis in ,egypt and ,moloch in   

,syria4 ,it is  the latter beauty whose 
entrancing charms are the subject of    
this  panegyric4 ,when ,jacob wrestled  
with the lord1 the bout was with ,moloch
  ,iho1 as will be seen by reading the  
original ,hebrew text4 ,this is lord ,i

 claimed that their god ,moloch 8had his
 castle of fire in the  seventh heaven40
 ,and 8,jehovah had his castle of fire  
over the seventh  heaven40--,book of    
,enoch1 #ad3g4 ,the identity of ,moloch 
and the ,hindu god  ,siva is indicated  
by the bull ,nardi1 the sacred emblem of
 the latter4  ,the ,persian bull christ1
 the son of ,ormazd1 killed by ,ahriman1
 the ,lord  of ,darkness1 and all the   
other christs that sport horns must     
share the  infamy of the great god      

,moloch1 alias ,saturn1 alias ,israel1  
alias ,ilda  ,baoth or ,devil4 ,the     
heaven of ,moloch is in the ,northeast1 
and it is  paved with gold1 and his     
throne is made of lapis lazuli4    ,you 
will notice that the priest is offering 
up a child to the great god  who so     
loved human flesh and blood that he     
caused his own son to be  slaughtered4  
,there was also another reason for the  
human sacrifices by  the priests and    
sorcerers and secret societies1 that is1
 the desire to  evoke the dead and      
summon up phantoms for consultation4    
,these ghosts are  very fond of blood1  
in fact it is difficult for them to     
materialize  unless they can absorb the 
steam arising from human blood4 ,it is  
true  that some sorcerers have evoked   
the dead with the blood of kids or      
lambs1 but the goat and lamb christs are
 ancient redeemers1 whose  efficacy is  
not to be compared with the man christ4 
,elephas ,levi says  that a phantom will
 attract the vapor of blood and human   

corpuscles in  the air as a magnet      
attracts iron filings4    8,they have   
built the high places of ,tophet in the 
,valley of ,hinnom to  burn their sons  
and daughters in the fire40 ,they made  
their children  pass through the fire to
 ,moloch1 forsooth1 because young       
children1 like  young pigs1 are tender  
and easy to chew4 ,they cooked their own
 flesh and  blood on the reeking altar  
of the ,devil1 even as the great and    
good ,ahaz  served up his son for the   
delectation of the mob1 and sitting down
 to  the delicious feast1 ate up the    
heir and hope of ,israel4 ,then1        
chopping  up the remnants into sausages1
 he exposed and hawked them in the      
market  place1 crying3 8,it is true they
 come high1 but see what they are made  
of4 ,each sausage is stamped with the   
,tetragrammaton and stuffed with the    
royal house of ,israel4 ,if you         
plebeians1 decorated with dirt and      
adorned  with bugs1 wish to get some    
blue blood into your clotted veins1 now 

is  the time4 ,avail yourselves of this 
opportunity to eat a prince of the      
royal blood1 an imperial descendant of  
our ,mother in ,israel1 ,tamar1 the     
daughter and wife of ,judah and ancestor
 of ,david and the messiah40    ,the    
fact that the ,jews worshipped on       
,saturn-day would indicate that they    
were worshippers of ,saturn or ,moloch4 
,the sacrifice of the first-born  unto  
the ,lord was required by the ,old      
,testament4 ,human sacrifices by  proxy 
still survive in parts of ,england1     
where at ,christmas time the  goodman   
goes forth to hunt for an old wife to   
sacrifice1 and returns  with an old log1
 which he plays is his wife1 and puts   
her on the fire4  ,this takes the place 
of the human being his ancestors        
formerly offered  up4 ,in               
,hertfordshire1 an ox1 representing     
,moloch1 is killed every  ,christmas1   
and the church bell tolls at its death  
in imitation of the  crucifixion of the 
bull christ or sun at the winter        

solstice4 ,at the  orgies of ,orpheus   
they originally sacrificed a man and    
tore his flesh  from his body with their
 teeth and ate it raw1 but in later     
times  substituted a bull representing  
,orpheus or ,christ4--8,orgies0 and     
8,orpheus01 ,ency4 ,brit4 ,all religion 
originated in human sacrifices and

cow1 called ,hathor in ,egypt1 also     
named ,isis and  ,meri1 which goddess we
 have stolen and worship under the name 
of ,mary4  ,when the sun entered the    
stable or sign of ,taurus1 a christ was 
produced1 or god was reborn as a bull4  
,that is why ,christ was born in a      
stable4    ,when the sun entered the    
sign of ,aries or the ,ram1 ,god was    
reborn1 or  ,christ came as the ,lamb of
 ,god1 the son of the ,ram1 identical   
with ,rama1  the seventh incarnation of 
the god ,vishnu4--,gerald ,massey4 ,in  
,thebes the  principal object worshipped
 by the pagan ancestors of ,christianity
 was  the ,ram4    ,at the eighth       

incarnation of ,god1 when the sun       
entered the sign of  ,fishes1 about the 
beginning of the ,christian ,era1 ,god  
was reborn as the  ,great ,fish or      
,fisher of ,men1 and was slain on       
,friday for the redemption  of the      
world4 ,that is why the ,christians     
killed and ate their fish ,jesus  every 
,friday to save their craven souls from 
,hell4 ,that is why the  priests of     
,dagon1 the fish god of the             
,philistines1 wore fish skins on  their 
backs and the head of a fish for a      
miter4 ,the miter of the church         
dignitaries was the gaping mouth of     
their fish god4 ,that is why ,christ    
had such phenomenal piscatorial luck and
 why his disciples were  fishermen4     
,that is why he came up out of the      
waters of ,jordan4--,see  ,ancient      
,pagan  ,modern ,christian ,symbolism4  
,we are baptized that we may typically  
become fish or ,christlike1 but         
complete immersion is indispensable to  
save our wicked souls4 ,a few  drops of 

water on the forehead do not make a     
fish4 ,jesus came out of the  stellar   
pool in the sign of ,fishes1 and we have
 seen superstitious and  benighted      
fishes1 who have been born again1 come  
up out of the pool  beneath the church  
altar in the ,hub of ,universal         
,culture4 ,the basin at  the church door
 or piscina1 containing alleged holy    
water1 is but a type  of that celestial 
pool in which the stellar fishes swim1  
and into which  the sun plunged and     
washed away the sins of the world4 ,the 
,egyptian  ,madonna1 ,isis1 is          
represented as holding in her arms the  
christ ,horus1  and on her head is a    
fish4 ,the ,hindus worship the fish-god 
at the temple  of the ,golden ,dagon    
near ,rangoon1 ,india4    ,the ,jews    
sacrificed the fish-christ at each of   
the three meals of the  ,sabbath4 8,one 
should eat fish for into them the souls 
of the righteous  are                   
transmigrated40--,talmud4 ,the ,buddhist

 was taken1 is called ,swastika 7fishes7

horizon40    8,the sun's present        
position is in ,aquarius4 ,our ,lord's  
advent was in the  previous sign of

should precede  his next coming was that

,when the sun entered the sign of

came as the ,crab or the ,good          
,scarabaeus1 the lucky bug of ,egypt1   
and was  born in the nebula of the      
,manger in the sign of ,cancer4 ,still  
there is  no law against believing in   
the story of the ,jew ,christ born in   
the  ,manger of ,bethlehem4 ,even the   
,church ,fathers claimed that ,christ   
was the  ,good ,scarabaeus4    ,in the  

,catacombs of ,rome is a picture of a   
supper at which seven persons  sit down 
to eat seven loaves and two small       
fishes4 ,some writers have  failed to   
grasp the significance of this picture4 
,they are assembled  there to eat their 
,christ1 as we do now at every          
,communion ,service4  ,christ is the    
bread of life1 born in the astronomical 
house of  ,breadcorn4 ,he came seven    
times in the ancient division of the    
heavens1  and in his eighth avatar he   
came as the two fishes in the sign of   
,pisces4    ,our ,christmas is a new    
name for the old ,roman ,saturnalia1 a  
festival  celebrating the birth of the  
sun-god ,saturn or ,moloch at the winter
  solstice1 at which time they feasted1 
exchanged presents1 got drunk and       
played craps4 ,the ,christians1 in      
celebrating the #beth of ,december1     
admit  that their ,christ is a          
sun-god4--,see 8,saturn10 ,ency4 ,brit4

,hebrews in the wilderness indulged in  
this pagan idolatry and  sacrificed     
bullocks and lambs on the altar for the 
remission of their  sins1 and erected a 
golden calf4 ,the golden calf was       
christ1 and his  mother was the sacred  
cow ,hathor or ,mary4 ,this ,meri or    
,mary was an  astral goddess1 the moon

,christian and pagan priests in their   
foreheads and on their hands4 ,it is the

called ,sacti because it is sacred and  
is offered up as a sacrifice1  closely  
related to sacrum and the caudal        
appendage4    ,the three links are the  
symbol of the hermaphrodite godhead4    
,the link is  the female emblem and     
three is the sign of the male4 ,the ,eye

represented with the ,eye on his left   
hand1 and he holds  up three fingers of 
his right hand1 the sign of the male4   
,this is just  as efficacious as the    
three links1 as it presents to the      
audience the  male and female emblems   
together1 formerly the only objects of  

worship  in all religions4 ,they are the
 emblems of life1 and must be held up   
together to insure the worshippers      
eternal life4 ,it will be seen in this  
investigation that in every religious   
assembly1 from the ,witches'  ,sabbath  
to the ,elevation of the ,host1 the male
 and female emblems were  displayed     
together for the salvation of the world4
 ,without these emblems  the devotees   
cannot be born again4 ,the image of the

 been ,ashtoreth4    ,the ,mezuzah1

came as the goat1 that individual on    
whom the ,jews used to load all  their  
sins and then drive him forth into the  
wilderness4 ,they sacrificed  goats on  
the altar because the goat was one of   
the ancient redeemers4  ,caesar says of 
,egyptian sacrifices3 8,imprecations    
were uttered over the  head of the      
expiatory victim1 around whose horns a  
piece of byblus was  rolled4 ,the animal
 was generally led to some barren region
 sacred to  ,typhon4 ,it is in this     
custom that lies the origin of the      
scapegoat of  the ,jews1 who1 when the  
ass-headed god was rejected by the      
,egyptians1  began sacrificing to       
another deity1 the red heifer40    ,it  
was claimed by ,madam ,blavatsky and    
,elephas ,levi that the  hermaphrodite  

,goat of ,mendes1 or ,baphomet1 was     
anciently an object of  worship and

our profound conviction1 the ,grand     
,masters of  the ancient orders of the  
,templars adored ,baphomet40--,elephas  
,levi4 ,it  will be seen by the chart   
that the ,masonic coat of arms1         
consisting of  the four zodiacal beasts1
 is supported on either side by the goat

as the ,devil or christ4 ,at the        

,witches' ,sabbath in  ,england1 the    
women made manikins1 or images of men1  
of clay or wax1 and  these they         
worshipped and played with4 ,and when   
these images were  properly magnetized1 
they could perform miracles therewith   
and summon up  demons from the abyss4   
,if they possessed sufficient will power
 and knew  the occult and secret form of
 words to use1 they could play that the 
manikin was an enemy1 and then stick him
 through the heart with a  needle1 and  
the next morning the enemy would be     
dead4 ,if their magical  power was      
sufficiently potent1 they could summon a
 satyr or subordinate  goat god to take 
the place of the manikin and consummate 
the ,sabbatical  marriage ceremony4     
,their spells were said to be           
sufficiently powerful to  reduce a human
 being to the primordial protoplasm1 and
 then cause it to  again pursue the path
 of evolution through the cell1 the     
blastoderm1 the  devil-fish and all the 
other beasts constituting eternity's

between the first and second fingers    
pointing downward to the  abyss4 ,the   
meeting place was lighted only by the   
altar fire1 where the  human sacrifice  
sizzled to attract the phantoms and     
ghosts4 ,and the  devotees1 singing     
mystic songs1 danced hand in hand in a  
circle around  the god ,pan4 ,they used 
the holy grail like the churches and    
mystic  societies1 and the drafts from  
this poisonous cup1 the singing1 the    
whirling dance and the incense from the 
altar brought on the oft-times  fatal   
frenzies in which the victims fell      
shrieking to the ground1 as  they do    
among certain ,christian sects4 ,they   
were seized and possessed by  foul      

fiends from the ,pit1 or elementary     
spirits1 and sometimes by the  spirits  
of serpents that materialized themselves
 in the writhing human  victims and     
crawled out of the prostrate bodies in  
plain view of the  audience4 ,there in  
the blackest hour of the night the      
,vinum ,sabbati was  prepared1 a few    
grains of white powder thrown into a    
glass of water4 ,and  each one that     
drank found himself attended by a       
companion1 a shape of  glamour and

 from a mob of ,christolators who  were 
intent on burning her1 but when they    
were about to seize her1 she  crawled   
into a bottle1 and nobody ever saw her

  these two gods1 are the third person  
of the trinity1 the son of man4  ,others
 claim that the incomprehensible god    
back of the ether1 of which  the latter 
is an emanation1 is the supreme god1 and
 that the spiritual  portion of the     
ether is the ,word or ,son1 and the     
material portion of the  ether is the

 wash their sins away4 ,at  the twelfth 
general council of the ,church1 the     
bread and wine was made  the flesh and  
blood of ,christ1 and at the ,council of

alleged that their  god was born of the

falsified the  ,hindu gospels1

matter in the  ether as a magnet        
attracts steel4 ,the electrons are      
called units of  electricity1 and there 
are perhaps a thousand in an atom4 ,the

form the gases of which nebulae are     
composed4 ,these nebulae  follow the

the atoms1 and the  result of this      
movement is a solar system1 the nucleus 
of which becomes  the sun4 ,the rings   
that separate from the main body in this
 revolution  eventually break up and    
form planets4 ,when these planets cool1 
we find  all the atomic souls either in

in the central fire4 ,the sea beats up  
against the rocks1 and the rains        
descend upon and disintegrate them and  

thus release the souls that were        
imprisoned there in the process of

evolve toward what the egotistic have   
termed man's high estate4    ,yogi

elementary forms  there gradually       
evolved1 as the earth cooled and        
solidified1 other  forms1 and so on

 is  a creator whose magic far excels   
the feats of gods or men4 ,it divides   
one living being into two1 splitting the
 brain and the body of the cell  in     
halves in such a manner that the two    
individuals produced are the  exact     
duplicates of the parent cell in form   
and character4 ,the cell  brain matter1 
called cromatin1 is composed of strings 
of very minute  granules1 termed        
cromosome1 which are supposed to contain
 all the  hereditary traits4 ,the       
division of each one of these cromosomes
 into  equal halves gives to the        
individuals produced a similar          
character4 ,the  centrosome is one in   
the beginning1 but before dividing the  
cell it  divides itself into two        
persons1 so that one of the centrosomes 
may  accompany each of the two cells4   
,each centrosome seizes one half of the 

brain of the parent cell thus divided   
and draws it to one side of the  cell to
 form the nucleus of one of the new     
cells4 ,then the whole body of  the cell
 is divided in the centre4--,story of

that nobody was damned that  persevered

miraculous rosary1 by which  he could   
perform greater miracles than ,christ4

anaesthetics were administered to the

system teaches that the  ghost1 or      
astral body1 can shrink to such a minute
 space that it can  penetrate anything1 
or enlarge to a gigantic body1 or float 
through  space1 or standing on the earth

hands have appeared at seances under    
test  conditions and written messages on

the theory is that the  materialized    
hand is an emanation from the medium1   
the astral hand of  the medium4 ,madam  
,blavatsky says that 8this is the       
spiritual or astral  body that is raised
 in incorruption4 ,it is useless to     
argue that these  are spirit hands4 ,to 
make hands or faces objective1 they are 
compelled  to use either the astral limb
 of the medium1 or material furnished by
  the elementals1 or the aural emanation
 of all persons present4 ,pure  spirits 
will not and cannot show themselves     
objectively4 ,those that do  are

,bikshus1 or monks1 claimed the  power  

to reincarnate the ,buddha in any       
infant4 ,a child four months old  was   
brought to their cave and set down in   
the middle of the room1 while  the monks
 sat in a circle around it at some      
distance4 ,a skeptic minister  sat close
 to the child to expose the trickery4   
,the chief ,pase ,budha went  into a    
trance1 and his astral and spiritual    
body took possession of the  child and  
made it walk and talk1 saying 8,i am    
,buddha1 ,i am the old ,lama1  ,i am his
 spirit in a new body40 ,the minister   
said3 8,the baby looked at  me with an  
expression of intelligence that was     
simply awful4 ,it sent a  chill through 
me1 ,i felt a real terror1 my hair rose 
upon my head1 and  my blood ran cold4   
,the eyes seemed to search my very soul 
with an  expression that made me think  
that it was the face of the ,superior   
himself1 his eyes1 his very look that   
was gazing upon me40    ,if you wish to 
conjure up or materialize a spirit1     
purchase from the  ,yogis some ancient  

blood of a black cat1 which comes in    
powdered form4  ,this1 together with a  
sparrow's brain1 burnt upon the altar   
will produce  a smoke or vapor of       
peculiar odor and a color unknown and   
unnamed by  human beings1 being a       
combination of many colors4 ,from the   
smoke of this  magic altar it is        
possible for spirits to materialize1 so 
that even  persons without the astral   
vision can see them4    ,sometimes a    
band of occultists will meet around     
their altar fire1 which  is kindled     
between the horns of the goat and fed   
with the ancient blood  of a black cat  
and other material from which ghosts can
 materialize4 ,the  occultists stand in 
a row hand in hand1 the ,grand ,master  
at the head by  the altar1 and all      
strongly command that a spirit shall    
manifest4 ,as the  command passes from  
one brother to another it gains force1  
and the power  of the will is enormously
 augmented1 and after a time there      
issues from  the floor a thread of      

astral matter1 which ascends            
perpendicularly and  widens out as it   
ascends1 assuming a human form1 but     
weak1 wavering and  limp1 bending this  
way and that on every breath of air4    
,but after the  circle has pumped the   
power into him for a while1 he becomes  
sufficiently strong to walk or glide    
about and take a seat in the circle  and
 talk to the members4 ,the materialized 
body is soft and moist and  cold as a   
corpse4 ,when they wish him to disappear
 they stand again hand  in hand1 the    
,grand ,master next to the spirit1 and  
send the command from  one to the other 
ordering the ghost to depart1 and he    
will again become  weak and wabbly and  
sink down to the floor and disappear    
through the  same nail hole from which  
he emerged4    ,if the company wishes to
 engage in a dangerous experiment1 one  
half of  them will occupy one side of   
the hall and the other half the other   
side4  ,they must first erect between   
them a circle of sheet lead1 over which 

the devil cannot jump to attack any of  
the members4 ,then each bunch will      
think evil vindictive and murderous     
thoughts of the other bunch1 and        
conjure up dire monsters to attack them1
 and soon a horrible1 gigantic  and     
vicious thought-monster1 part beast1    
part devil and part human1 will         
materialize and rush at the members and 
endeavor to attack them1 but            
fortunately for them1 he cannot pass the
 leaden circle1 for if he could  reach  
those that made him1 he would strike    
them dead with a charge of  electricity 
through the heart4 ,in order to lay this
 devil they have  conjured up1 they have
 to clothe themselves entirely in       
silver-colored  garments4 ,they then    
enter the circle from both sides and    
close in on the  monster4 ,these        
silver-colored beings scare the devil to
 death1 and he  crawls back in his hole4
    ,a man1 named ,b1 built a house with
 second-hand lumber from an old

there4 ,the ghost was very  mad because 
,b took his lumber1 and1 in order to be 
revenged1 he went  with the lumber to   
the new house and haunted that4 ,b says

propose to fight the phantom4  ,b sold  
the house to some colored folks4 ,they  
were scared white by the  skilligin1

money back1 because  the ghost was an   
incumbrance on the estate and a legal   
defect in title1  he being in           
possession1 claiming ownership4    ,st4

the air4 ,he threw himself from         
precipices without being  injured and   
flung himself into the fire without

the hand of  death is on it now4        
,solomon was ,grand ,master of the      
secret societies4 ,those things that    
were  esoteric or secret or occult in   
magic and religion1 claimed by the      
priests to be too sacred for the people1
 were either criminal or too  vile to   
utter4 ,that was the only reason for    
keeping them secret4    ,solomon had    
cheated his brother ,adonijah out of the
 throne to which the  latter was        
entitled by birth1 and ,adonijah thought
 that he should at  least be allowed to 
have ,abishag1 the sixteen-year-old     
beauty that they  had put in bed with   
the dying ,king ,david to save his life4
 ,and he  induced ,bathsheba1 the mother
 of ,solomon1 to make the request of the
  king4 ,when ,solomon had heard the    
petition of ,bathsheba he said3 8,and   

why  dost thou ask ,abishag for         
,adonijah1 ask for him the kingdom      
also40  ,abishag is the only jewel in   
the ,jewish crown1 the most priceless   
legacy  that ,king ,david left4 ,a      
perfect beauty is more to be desired    
than the  riches of a kingdom4 ,i will  
not give her up4 ,all the good things in
  ,israel are reserved for the king4    
,then ,solomon swore by the ,lord       
saying3  8,god do so to me and more also
 if ,adonijah hath not spoken this word 
against his own life4 ,now therefore as 
the ,lord liveth ,adonijah shall be  put
 to death this day40 ,what ho6 guards1  
summon ,benaiah1 ,commander of  the     
,knights of the ,mystic ,shrine of      
,asherah4    ,when ,benaiah appeared1 he
 bowed low before the throne1 and1      
raising his  right hand1 made the occult
 sign of the ,witches' ,sabbath4 ,then  
,solomon  said3 8,rise1 ,o beloved of   
the king1 favorite of the gods of the   
groves  and the gardens4 ,the king hath 
weighty matters to communicate to thee4 

,it is reported that ,adonijah1 our     
brother1 hath taken refuge at the       
shrine of that second-rate ,god ,jehovah
 and doth cling to the horns of  the    
altar4 ,and behold all of ,adonijah's   
followers are devotees of  ,jehovah1    
while all of our partisans and all of   
you whom the king hath  deigned to grace
 with official rank are devotees of     
,baal and ,asherah4  ,now the king      
commandeth that you seek out all of     
those ,jehovah  worshippers who have    
stood by ,adonijah and eliminate them   
from the  problem of life4 ,go in and   
out among them and slay each one your   
father  and your mother1 your sister and
 your brother1 if so be that they be    
among the rebels4 ,relieve them of      
life's burdens4 ,do not be harsh with   
them1 show them our royal mercy1 shove  
them gently through the gates of  ,hell1
 cutting them with saws and with harrows
 of iron and with axes1  emulating the  
clemency of our royal father1 the bandit
 chief4 ,as for  ,adonijah1 fall upon   

him and slay him as he clings to the    
horns of the  altar4 ,it is true that   
the altar of a god is sacred ground and 
a refuge  as a general proposition1 but 
general propositions do not apply to the
  king1 the king is above the law4 ,what
 do ,i care for these imaginary  gods1  
they are all right to scare children    
with1 but they cut no ice  with your    
,solomon40    ,solomon sat in all his   
glory upon the great throne of ivory and
 gold1  flanked by the twelve brazen    
lions of the zodiac1 and the ,knights of
 the  ,mystic ,shrine of ,asherah in    
dazzling regalia guarded the beloved of 
the  ,lord4 ,around the throne1 with    
naked swords and the three hundred      
golden  shields1 stood the ,princes of  
the ,tribes of ,israel1 as the rays of  
the  setting sun1 reflected from the    
jeweled walls of cedar and gold1 bathed 
in dazzling light the royal panoplies of
 blue and purple and crimson4    ,and   
,king ,solomon's sacred1 hermaphrodite  
,billygoat1 in trappings of  purple and 

gold1 wearing ribbons on his horns and  
ribbons on his tail1  stood beside the  
golden throne with his revered back to  
the audience in  accordance with the law
 in such case made and provided4 ,and he
 informed  the ,king in no uncertain    
words that he did not propose to be the 
goat  any longer1 that the ,knights of  
the ,mystic ,shrine of ,asherah1 that   
had  been assigned as priests to serve  
him1 one of the highest gods1 drank up  
all the wine sacrificed to him1 and thus
 prevented him from getting as  full as 
a goat1 as required by the tenets of his
 religion4 ,and further1  they did not  
give him exercise enough1 they called   
him ,baphomet and  ,devil and other hard
 names and took him up out of the pit   
for a walk  around the town only once a 
month1 at dead of night1 in the dark of 
the  moon1 when ,hell yawns1 and the    
graves give up their dead4 ,upon the    
conclusion of this divine oration1 the  
whole audience crawled on their  hands  
and knees up the steps of the golden    

throne and devoutly kissed  the back of 
,baphomet1 as we kiss the male and      
female emblems on the ,pax4    ,this    
pious ceremony being completed1 the     
,great ,king1 raising the royal         
sceptre1 summoned to his exalted        
presence the ,commander of the ,knights 
of the ,mystic ,shrine of ,asherah and  
said3 8,while you1 ,benaiah1 my         
faithful servant1 go and kill ,adonijah1

me to my devotions1 for ,i can see that

 the luscious ,asherah is yearning for  
me4 ,my adored1 my  most beautiful1 my  
ravishing one stands in the open door of

stands there in all her pristine        
loveliness1 a  beauty unadorned1 young  
and plump and enchanting4 ,see that     
innocent  radiant face beaming with     
loving kindness1 perfect in every

 the gods in ,heaven do envy me4 ,she is
 my  favorite nun1 the incarnation of

while ,benaiah slew ,adonijah as he     
clung to the horns of the altar1        
,solomon and his court in gorgeous      
array1 decked in purple and fine linen  
and blazing with jewels rare and gold to
 burn1 marched in one grand  pageant    
from the house of cedar and gold1 out   
through the ,golden ,gate1  to the high 
place of ,asherah4 ,when they reached   
the oval1 foliated door  between the two
 great pillars of ,baal1 beneath the    
blazing1 golden dome  of ,asher1        
supported by the circle of monoliths or 
twelve zodiacal  redeemers1 they bowed  
low before the open portal and crossed  
themselves1  and by thus drawing upon   
their bodies the male symbol1 they      

became  themselves male emblems and     
worthy to enter in1 and a worthy        
offering to  a female divinity4    ,the 
dazzling beauty who stood in the door of
 the pagoda then ran and  threw herself 
into the arms of the king4 ,he folded   
her pink and white  form to his royal   
breast and impressed upon her ruby lips 
a long and  loving caress1 saying3 8,my

in three breaths1 with  hand to ear and 
the name at low breath4 ,this is the    
name that was  engraved on the great    
seal of ,solomon1 wherewith he conjured 
up demons  from the abyss1 for he was a 
potent wizard4 ,by virtue of this great 
name  and by rubbing the seal1 ,solomon 
became ,lord of the ,demons1 and        
,beelzebub1 at the mighty summons1 would
 bob up serenely and obey the  behests

omnipotent words which  constitute all

penetrated into the  remotest haunts of

,solomon1 ,hiram of ,tyre and ,hiram    
,abiff in building the ,temple4 ,he was 
the one who fashioned the stones without
 the sound of hammer by means of  an    
insect he had1 called the ,shameer1 the 
same that ,moses used in  cutting the   
precious stones of the ,ephod4 ,the     
spirits evoked by ,solomon  said that   
,ashmedai had the ,shameer1 and they    
gave him the location of  ,ashmedai's   
water-hole in the mountains1 where he   
went to drink4 ,benaiah  then went out  
and filled the water-hole with liquor   
and laid in wait  near by4 ,the demon   
came and drank the liquor1 and when he  
was drunk1  ,benaiah bound him with a   

ring and a chain1 on which was the name 
of ,god1  so that he could not break it4

originated in the sacrifice of a human

monks of ,seville1 ,spain1 about #adeh1 
was placed in the hands of ,juan        
,hermonez for translation4 ,in the      
margin was a ,latin translation1 in     
which the name of ,apollonius had been  
changed to ,john among many other       
falsifications4 ,the ,latin translation 
was almost identical with the  ,gospel  
of ,st4 ,john4 ,when ,hermonez called   
the attention of the ,superior  to these
 changes1 he was seized and thrown into 
a dungeon1 in which he  was allowed to  
starve and rot4    ,the ,bible has been 
too much neglected1 due1 no doubt1 to   
the general  impression that1 being     
religious1 it must be dry4 ,far from it4
 ,for  instance3 ,elohim1 the gods1 made

 the light and days and nights four days
  before they made the sun4 ,they made a
 firmament1 probably of metal1 to       
divide the ocean above from the ocean   
below1 and had windows in it1 so  that  
they could open them and drown the      
inhabitants of the earth  whenever they 
got drunk and needed a little diversion4
 ,and they stuck  the sun1 moon and     
stars in the metal firmament1 which     
revolved around  the earth4    ,when the
 serpent was not working1 he was coiled 
around the ,tree of ,life  telling ,eve 
in snake language what luscious fruit   
the tree bore4 ,for  this interference  
with the plans of the gods1 they made   
the serpent  crawl on his belly4 ,he had
 been crawling on his back4    ,moses   
and his first assistant fakir1 ,aaron1  
destroyed all the horses and  cattle in 
,egypt by a murrain1 and then1 as       
,pharaoh still had a stiff  neck1 they  
destroyed them all again by hail4 ,then1
 as ,pharaoh still had  trouble with his
 neck1 they killed all the first-born of

 ,egypt1 both men  and cattle4 ,then the
 ,israelites fled1 and ,pharaoh hitched 
up his horses1  that had been killed    
three times1 to his six hundred chariots
 and  pursued the chosen of ,god1 who   
had pinched all the jewelry of the      
,egyptians4 ,the ,bible is full of these
 delightful stories from beginning  to

the best1 and to which we are fitted by 
our  vibration4 ,some of us1 like       
certain ministers1 will go to that      
heaven  where the beautiful fairies are4
 ,the ancient ,jews will have a little  
heaven of their own1 where they can     
worship the three balls and the         
ass-headed god and the god with whiskers
 on1 and where they will have a  chance 
to cop the golden paving stones1 and    
sell corner lots1 and insure  their     
palace not made with hands eternal in   
the heavens4    ,and the ancient ,scotch
 ,presbyterian will walk the golden     
streets with  his savage1 gore-imbued   
devil-god1 in his paradise overlooking  
the abyss  of ,hell1 where he can gloat 
over the souls in torment1 as they rise 
up  out of the ,bottomless ,pit every   
thousand years1 each one fastened by his
  tongue to a hook on an endless chain1 

which rises from such a fathomless      
depth of hellfire that it takes the     
victim a thousand years to make the     
circuit4 ,it is claimed that these      
heavens and hells are built up from  the
 astral substance by the imaginative    
power of the minds of the  different    
religious sects4    ,this region        
contains all the heavens that have ever 
been dreamed of in  theology1 each      
filled with the devotees of the various 
creeds4 ,each of  the great religions   
has its own particular region in which  
its disciples  gather1 worship and      
rejoice4 ,in each region the religious  
soul finds  just what he had expected   
and hoped to find on the other shore4   
,you may  even see the golden crowns1   
harps and stiff halos in some cases and 
hear  the eternal chant of praise4      
,these heavens are not eternal4

#gj4    ,the occultists do not1 as a    
rule1 disclose the process by which you 
may  see the astral visions and pass out
 of the physical and journey in the     
astral body4 ,but this is one way to see
 the pictures in the astral  light3     
,between sleeping and waking1 in the    
neutral state of ,jagrata1  when the    
eyes are closed and a numbness falls    
upon the body1 and you  experience a    
floating sensation1 take note of the    
visions that appear to  you1 if any1 and
 then by your will power impress them   
upon physical  brain1 so that you may   
remember them4 ,these visions may be    
pictures on  the astral light or scenes 
on the astral plane1 but whatever they  
are1  some of them prove to be true     
prophetic visions4    ,one occult       
teacher advised those who wished to     
induce trance to go into  the silence1  
that is1 to go into a room by yourself1 
where you will not  be disturbed1 and   
lie down and completely relax the       
muscles and think of  nothing at all4   

,the ,hindus say fix your mind on your  
navel1 but some fix  their gaze on a    
crystal4 ,you will see the visions when 
you doze off1 if  you can get them at   
all4    ,when you are in the astral body
 it is possible to remember the         
experiences of your previous lives1 that
 is1 the lives of your  ancestors4 ,in  
the physical body heredity and memory   
are stored in the  cromatin or brain    
matter of all the millions of cells of  
the body4 ,the  human astral body is    
made up of the astral bodies of all the 
cells4 ,it  is possible that memory is  
inherent in the astral matter of all the
  cells1 and that in the astral we are  
more in rapport with the cells than  in 
the physical4    ,in the lowest astral  
plane next to the earth1 it is said1 is 
the region  where the astral shells or  
corpses disintegrate1 an arm sloughing  
off  here1 a leg there1 and a head      
elsewhere4 ,it is claimed that the      
spirits  have deserted these shells4 ,if
 you should happen to meet one of these 

ghosts walking in a graveyard without   
any legs or without any head1 it  may   
scare you into a fit1 but it will not do
 you any harm1 for it is  dead4 ,then   
there are certain spectres or phantoms  
whose company is very  undesirable when 
you take a lonely walk in the           
ghoul-haunted woodlands4  ,these        
elemental spirits like to play practical
 jokes and have a little  fun with you1 
but they will not do you any harm1

allow them to obsess you4 ,cast out     
fear1 cultivate  a strong will1 and be1 
like ,solomon1 the master of demons and 
men4    8,there are certain entities or 
beings in the astral world which never  
were human and never will be1 for they  
belong to an entirely different  order  
of nature4 ,they are fairies1 satyrs1   
imps and goblins4 ,at  spiritual seances
 they sometimes play elfish pranks4     
,they seem to be  particularly apt to   
play tricks on neophytes in psychic     
research who  seek to penetrate the     

astral without proper instruction4 ,to

forms1 monsters c40--,astral ,world1    
#ib4    ,some of the elementals are     
electric spirits and confer upon the    
medium  the power of magnetic healing4  
,the medium1 upon the approach of the   
spirit1 is charged with electricity4    
,the spirit may appear as a bird  with a
 human face and a parrot's bill and     
sharp1 black eyes and body  covered with
 hair1 and deliver messages which can be
 heard  clairaudiently by the medium4   
,that reminds us of the claim of        
,mahomet  that a little bird stood on   
his shoulder and whispered the laws of  
the  ,koran in his ear4 ,they are       
certainly the ,devil's own laws4        
8,many of the angels on the astral and  
the ghosts that haunt houses are        
thought forms created by the people who 
imagine them1 and obtain all  their     
apparent mind from the action of the    
thought force of their  creators4       
,repeated thought and repeated belief   

will serve to keep alive  and strengthen
 these entities1 otherwise they will    
disappear in time4  ,many supernatural  
visitors1 saints and semi-divine beings 
of all  religions have been formed in   
this way4 ,the power of the devils arise

,according to the ,theosophists man has 
two souls1 the animal and the           
spiritual1 and at death the animal soul 
or spook1 together with the  spiritual  
soul1 passes to that part of the astral 
called ,kamaloka1 or  place of spooks1  
the lowest plane4 ,but the spirit soon  
deserts the spook  and leaves it to meet
 its just reward in the second death1   
because on  earth it desired too much of
 carnal pleasures4 ,the spooks retain   
all the  impressions accumulated in the 
earth life and can communicate with     
mortals through mediums4 ,among these   
are the demons that obsess human        
beings4 ,the spiritual soul passes on to
 ,devachan1 or the house of gods1  which
 evidently includes those astral planes 

where the religious grovel  before their
 various imaginary idols4 ,see 8,what is
 ,theosophy10 #df4 ,this  alleged       
spiritual soul1 that deserts its brother
 soul in the depths of  ,hell1 receives 
its due reward1 for in the sub-heaven to
 which it goes1  it has no memory of the
 earth life1 consequently it is not     
immortal1 and  it is in jail and cannot 
get out4 ,it would be better to stay in 
,hell  with the spook1 for it could have
 more fun haunting houses than          
worshipping imaginary gods with a lot of
 stiff-necked orthodox  hypocrites4     
,in ,ceylon they have twenty six        
heavens1 and at the end of the world    
period they kill off all the spirits in 
all these heavens except those  in the  
five upper spheres1 the four highest of 
which are ,nirvana4    ,you need not    
think that because you go across that   
you will have  surcease from sorrow4 ,it
 is only in the highest heavens that    
they have  no sorrow1 and that is       
because they don't know anything4 ,you  

cannot  obtain happiness here or        
hereafter by purchasing absolution from 
any  fakir1 but only by doing to others 
as you would be done by4 ,the astral    
planes of the ,spiritualists in which   
the soul may advance1 improve and       
ultimately attain to the highest heaven1
 corresponds with ,purgatory1  that     
superlative graft of religion4 ,you can 
be prayed out of this limbo1  if your   
relatives are willing to put up the     
stuff1 otherwise you will be  shoveled  
down into ,hell4 ,but a cheaper way is  
to have a ,hindu prayer  wheel4 ,i am   
going to devote the immense revenues    
which ,i shall receive  from this pious 
work to the construction of prayer      
wheels1 which will be  placed at street 
corners on all the highways and byways1 
so that even he  who runs can turn the  
wheel and bring around to the open slot1

spirits1 having no indication of piety1 
all busily  engaged in their favorite   
occupations or sports4 ,if in this state
 of  ,jagrata you happen to float into a
 graveyard1 you will see the ghosts     
lying or sitting on their graves or     
pacing up and down beside them with     
bowed heads and in deep thought1 trying 
to figure out how they got there  and   
where they are going4 ,see ,seership1   
#agi4    ,it is said that two persons   
can exchange bodies if they wish4 ,or if
  someone else has a better body than   
you have1 and you wish to steal it1     
invite him to take a trip with you in   
his astral body on the astral  plane4   
,all the time keep commanding your      
astral body1 sotto voce1 to  enter into 
his body1 and when his astral body has  
emerged1 prepared to  take a trip with  
you in spook-land1 that is the instant  

for your astral  body to take possession
 of his physical body and leave his     
astral body  out in the cold4 ,but be   
careful to back into his body1 for if   
your  astral body enters his physical   
body face to face1 you will be in wrong 
end to and will be crazy as a loon4 ,now
 there is no place for the other  astral
 body to go except into your abandoned  
physical body1 and as you  are a wicked 
robber who just stole a house1 he will  
probably hesitate  about entering the   
body of such a person1 and if he delays 
too long1 he  will be a lost spook1

of shades4    ,do not allow them to palm
 off any gods upon you4 ,do not allow

in the universe1 and all matter is      
equal4 ,this being so1 all forms        

produced therefrom1 whether visible or  
invisible1 must be equal1 and one  form 
has no right to assume authority over   
another4 ,all beings are  composed of   
matter1 be they gods or be they worms1  
and no one mass of  matter is superior  
to another or worthy of worship4 ,the   
worm that crawls  the earth is the equal
 of the king that sits upon a throne4   
,never bow  the knee to anything that   
walks or swims or flies1 that lives in  
the  flesh or that exists only in the   
diseased imagination of depraved

through the attic of an old

discovered a course of lessons in ,yogi 
,philosophy4 ,these lessons ,i  devoured
 with avidity1 and practiced with       
assiduity the occult rites1  until ,i   

could readily pass into the silence and 
project my astral body  or ghost to any 
desired place4 ,in fact the unruly ghost
 would sometimes  quit the body without 
my consent and leave me stranded high   
and dry  without any soul4    ,one night
 while ,i lay sleeping1 my astral body  
left the physical and  sped through the 
air1 as it had a very bad habit of      
doing1 to ,hapenny1  the very last place
 on earth1 the place manufactured by the
 ,devil out of  scraps and old junk1    
which he had left over after building   
,hell4 ,but my  perverted soul always   
insisted on going there whenever it     
succeeded in  bursting through the      
carnal and beating down its being's     
door4    ,the soul atom or ,ego is said 
to be located in the ,medulla           
,oblongata4 ,if  the soul is immortal1  
it is probably an electron4 ,an atom is 
said to be  composed of ions or         
electrons1 and probably is subject to   
dissolution1  and consequently not      
immortal4 ,but as no one ever saw an    

atom or  electron on account of their   
extreme minuteness1 for the purpose of  
this  veracious story1 we will call the 
soul an atom and play it is eternal4    
,an atom is a vortex ring of ether in a 
constant state of vibration1 and        
assumed to resemble in form a ring of   
smoke4 ,some of the ,hindus claim  that 
a ,purusha or soul from the countless   
spirit ions constituting the  spirit    
principle of the universe1 the akasa or 
astral light1 becoming  involved in the 
ether1 originates the vortex movement by
 which the atom  is produced4 ,the ether
 is the ultimate refinement of matter1 a
 body of  extreme tenuity that pervades 
the whole universe and permeates all    
grosser bodies4 ,by the waves of this   
ether all the vibrations of light1      
heat1 sound1 energy1 electricity and    
life are transmitted4    ,the electron  
is an extremely minute corpuscle or     
particle endowed with  life1 mind and   
energy4 ,a thousand electrons1 more or  
less1 revolve in  the atom at a terrific

 rate around a central sun1 thus        
resembling the  solar system4 ,this     
central sun is a male or positive       
electron1 and all  those revolving about
 it are females or negative electrons   
and  constitute the harem of the central
 sun1 thus establishing polygamy at  the
 very basis of life4 ,our solar system  
is an atom in a great cosmic  animal or 
god called ,pan1 the all-god4    ,in my 
nocturnal journeys1 ,i thought ,i was   
clothed in the carnal body1  but as ,i

occupied by a gun-fighter1  and watched 
the astral bodies as they glided to and 
fro in the air4    ,there was ,mr4 ,b4  
with a red gash from ear to ear and a   
crimson stream of  blood running down   
over the white1 astral1 vapor-like body4
 ,around the  body was the aura1 a      
cloudy vapor extending outward to a     
distance of two  or three feet in the   
shape of an egg1 an emanation of a dark 
and dismal  color1 corresponding to his 
dark and dismal career4 ,it was in back 
of  that very shack that he cut his     
throat and burst the door that bound him
  to the mortal clay1 crying as he      
passed over that he was eternally lost

 him into believing4 ,but that  ,hell is
 immeasurably preferable to the ,devil's

is relieved of pain1 hunger and thirst  
and the necessity of  laboring for food 
and clothing4 ,in fact1 ,i believe that

rotting rags1 lived on three cents a    
day4    ,there was something in the     
atmosphere of the neighborhood that     
urged all  the inhabitants on to crime4 
,the family life was a hell on earth4   
,the  place was obsessed by the ,devil  
and accursed of ,god4 ,a village will   
acquire a character of its own4 ,it is  
claimed that all the evil thoughts  of

place will linger in the  surrounding   
atmosphere for years and exercise a     
baneful influence on all  who dwell     
there4 ,in the ,devil's ,half ,acre you 
could not take a step  without treading 
on the crimson stain of a reeking crime4

 ,the spooks  were and are now as thick 
as ,tophet there2 the place is haunted  
by  ghosts and fiends unholy in ,death  
and ,hell bedight4 ,it was the obsession
  of the place by the powers of evil    
that attracted to it all the  notorious 
criminals4    ,the next spook to pollute
 the atmosphere was that of ,mr4 ,d4    
who1 when on  earth1 was engaged in the 
banking business4 ,in his left hand he  
carried  a jimmy and in his right a gun1
 and he was peering here and there      
looking for a safe to crack or a cashier
 to shoot up4 ,he was floating  through 
the air at a height of about ten feet1  
and on his forehead  blazed the         
blood-red mark of ,cain1 and his black  
aura was lighted by the  fires of       
,tophet4 ,when in life he lived in the  
house across the road4  ,from this house
 also emerged a ghost with a halter     
around its neck4 ,it  was there with the
 halter he had swung himself over the   
battlements of  time and dropped into   
eternity4 ,the vicious influence of this

 house was  irresistible4 ,it is well to
 know this law of thought obsession and 
avoid  these accursed places4    ,the   
next spirit to make its appearance was  
my old friend ,mr4 ,e4 who came  from   
walking up and down in the earth trying 
to sell the girl he led by  the hand4   
,he was still on his uppers as usual1 as
 ,i could see by the  ragged condition  
of his astral body4 ,the accompanying   
aura of a  slate-green hue1 embellished 
with dull-red flames1 indicated a low1  
deceitful and sensual character4 ,he    
stopped and1 looking me over1 said3  8,i
 remember you4 ,don't you want to buy my
 wife here again8 ,she is in  good      
condition now4 ,i admit that ,i cheated 
you forty years ago when ,i  sold her to
 you for fifty cents1 but now in the    
astral world she is a  vision of youth  
and beauty40    ,then came the ghost of

 operated on  a class of young ladies in
 the vestry of the church1 that         
time-worn  vestry1 that well-beloved    

vestry1 where the foundations of their  
philosophy were laid4 ,a very genial1   
loving gentleman he was too1 but  his   
scholars being exceedingly frivolous1 he
 found it necessary1 in  order to       
impress upon them the ,divine truths1 to
 pat them on the knees  and sort of     
instil religion into them by the massage
 process4 ,he has  found his heaven4 ,he
 appeared on the astral1 surrounded1    
embraced and  beloved by that same      
dazzling galaxy of beauties1 now a      
star-crowned  angel band4    ,it is     
claimed that they have schools over     
there1 in which those who so  desire may
 be instructed in virtue and wisdom and 
assisted to advance4  ,when at last they
 learn the great secret and discover the
 key that  unlocks the horns of the     
bull1 they pass through the low and     
narrow  portal between the horns of     
,taurus1 squeeze through the needle's   
eye1  and enter the higher heaven4      
,then ,i saw a lot of ghosts and        
fragments of ghosts sometimes without   

any  heads1 and sometimes lacking limbs1
 floating about aimlessly without any   
rudders1 for they were dead1 and their  
spirits had fled1 leaving in the        
,devil's ,half ,acre their astral       
shells4 ,that is what they are called   
when  their spirits have departed in the
 spiritual body and left the astral     
body to return to the elements like the 
carnal body4    ,a human being in a     
normal condition is unable to see an    
astral body1 or  ghost1 because the     
vibrations on the astral plane are too  
rapid for the  human eye to see4 ,the   
vibrations of the ultra-violet or ,x    
rays1 at one  end of the spectrum are   
too rapid1 and the infra-red rays1 at   
the other  end of the spectrum1 are too 
slow for the human eye to see4 ,but we  
have  astral senses1 appurtenant to the 
astral body1 duplicates of the  physical
 senses1 and persons in a trance and    
sometimes people asleep are  able to use
 these astral senses and see and        
communicate with the  denizens of the   

astral world4                           
,,the ,,biography ,,of ,,the ,,soul     
,,atom4                            ,by  
,willard ,bartlett4                     
,from ,the ,nautilus4      ,i will      
preface my story with the simple        
statement that ,i am now  #ejj1jjj1jjj  
years old1 more or less1 that the atom  
in which my soul is  located1 or which  
constitutes my soul1 first found a home 
in what is  called a living being1 a    
cytod or cell1 in the primordial or     
earliest  epoch of earth's history4 ,a  
cell is a minute mass of living         
protoplasm1  or jelly-like substance1   
not as large as the head of a pin1 a    
combination of carbon1 oxygen1 hydrogen1
 nitrogen1 ammonia1 sulphur1  etc4      
,while it is true that ,i existed before
 that1 and1 in fact1 from all  eternity1
 ,i previously resided in what is called
 inanimate matter1 in  the igneous      
rocks4 ,but we will say that ,i was born
 when my soul atom  became involved in  
the said protoplasm of one of the       

earliest plant  cells4    ,all matter is
 endowed with mind1 and a soul exists in
 every atom4 ,it is  impossible to      
produce new life1 as it is said         
scientists have done1 and  impossible to
 create life1 as ,god is claimed to have
 done1 for life  always existed in every
 atom4 ,it is by certain combinations of
 matter  that life becomes manifest in  
motion4    ,each of the thousands of    
atoms1 of which said primitive life cell
 was  composed1 had a soul destined to  
take its place in some descendant1 if   
it had an opportunity4 ,and the souls   
are waiting in the atoms to be  born1   
and not in ,heaven as asserted by the   
,yogi philosophers4 ,the ,yogis  claim  
that the souls are waiting in some      
department of the ,buddhist  heaven     
crying to be born4 ,bosh6 ,they are     
waiting in the spermatozoa1  those      
little monsters1 those little devils    
that drive their great human  masters to
 crime and murder1 to the gallows and   
the stake2 there they  are howling to be

 born4 ,in their frantic race to enter  
the ovum1 as  shown under               
8,spermatozoa10 ,stand4 ,dic41 no wonder
 they are excited4 ,they  have been     
waiting #ejj1jjj1jjj years for the      
opportunity to become human  beings4    
,cells propagate by division2 that is my
 original ancestor1 a little1  round    
mass of protoplasm1 divided itself into 
two cells to produce  offspring1 and all
 of my ancestors have done the same     
through all these  millions of years1   
consequently ,i have in my body1 in all 
of the cells1  some of the original     
matter of which my original cell        
ancestor was  composed4 ,that is        
eternity's great highway by which the   
soul walked  down4    ,the human germ   
cell divides in the same manner into two
 individuals and  we propagate1 as our  
earliest ancestors did1 by casting off a
 cell1  which1 being joined by a cell of
 the opposite sex1 becomes fertilized4  
,the human embryo develops by repeated  
subdivisions of this twin cell1  and    

each one of the myriads of cells so     
produced is a living1 thinking  being4  
,the question has arisen why the cells  
in an embryo arrange themselves in  the 
form of the parent1 and it has been     
asserted that they are so  distributed  
by ,god in pursuance of a ,divine plan4 
,but it is actually  done by the        
volition of the cells themselves4 ,each 
cell takes its proper  position in      
compliance with the instruction of its  
parent cell1 and if  removed by force to
 some other part of the embryo1 will    
return to its  original place1 thus     
evincing the most surprising            
intelligence4 ,it must  be remembered   
that a molecule is as large as a        
universe1 that there is  no such thing  
as size1 that as much ability may be    
stored up in the  nerve centre of a cell
 as in all the debris of a human brain4 
,we are immortal1 but with no memory of 
past lives4 ,if we do not  propagate1   
this life will be the end of our line   
that has continued  unbroken for        

millions of years1 and we will have to  
go back into the  abysmal void1 into the
 womb of chaos and commence all over    
again4 ,that  will be our fate in any   
case4 ,only that cell of our bodies     
which may be  incorporated in our       
progeny will continue in human form4    
,that cell is a  remote relative of     
ours1 having descended from the         
ancestral germ cell  from which our     
embryo was developed4    ,of the        
earliest plant cells1 developed by      
spontaneous generation in the           
primordial epoch1 some developed tails1 
or projected filaments of  protoplasm   
from their jelly-like bodies4 ,with     
these tails they propelled  themselves  
through the primeval seas1 and thus     
separated themselves from  the plants   
and became animals4 ,in this earliest   
epoch of life's history  all beings     
lived in the water4 ,these primitive    
plants possessed as much  soul and mind 
as the animals that thus branched off   
from them1 and all  plants still possess

 soul and mind4    ,but ,i am sorry to  
say that my ancestor1 who thus projected
 a tail and  became an animal1 was a    
degenerate1 a lazy loafer1 a robber1 a  
murderer  and a cannibal4 ,we all have  
to live on protoplasm4 ,the plants made 
their  own living plasm1 manufacturing  
it from inorganic matter1 but the       
animals were too indolent to do such    
laborious work1 when they could  just as
 well kill and eat the plant cells and  
subsist on them4 ,in this  way they lost
 the recipe for making plasm1 and we    
descendants are  consequently born      
cannibals1 condemned to rob1 murder1    
despoil and eat  our fellow beings1 or  
starve4    ,my next beautiful ancestor1 
to whom ,i will introduce you1 was an   
animal  consisting of numerous cells    
arranged in the form of a sack or       
stomach1  called a blastoderm or        
gastraea4 ,there was no central brain at
 this  time1 each cell having a brain of
 its own4    ,yesterday1 while          
patrolling my beat down in the mine1 in 

a drift in the  limestone1 the earliest 
sedimentary deposit laid down on the bed
 of the  primeval ocean1 ,i found the   
house of my archaic ancestor1 willed to 
me  by him millions of years ago1 and   
delivered by him to me yesterday4 ,it   
is a minute shell1 with which he        
protected his precious stomach4 ,this   
stomach took its flight to ,heaven in   
the earliest dawn of time1 but the      
house1 one of the many mansions of the  
soul1 preserved intact came down  to me 
through unnumbered ages1 while myriad   
races came into being and  faded into   
eternity1 and religions sprang up and   
flourished and waned1  and empires rose 
and rotted and fell4    ,in the next    
stage1 the stomach has become elongated1
 and the nerve  centre or spinal cord   
makes its appearance along the whole    
length of the  body4 ,at this period my 
beloved grandfather was a very          
aristocratic and  exclusive worm1       
belonging to one of the first families1 
and1 like them1  had as much brains in  

his tail as in his head1 for no cranial 
brain had  yet developed4    ,the       
remaining steps of the evolution1       
through which my ancestors have  passed1
 are depicted in the development of the 
human embryo1 and ,i will  ask you to   
read up on the subject of embryology1   
which ,i have found  quite as           
interesting as dime novels4
