‘Thy mansion of the yeavens 1s 1it by perennial
Auroral displays of mystic Lent.
The stellar system swings across the endless
Dark Highways of Eternity which lead
To Thy-nystic homes
The comet-peacoczs spread their plumes of rays,
And danoe in wild delight in Thy garden
Of many moons.
I sit ona little pateh or the milky way
And watch the glory of Thy kingdom spread
Endless everywherey
Tho festivities of the Heavens are dazzling
With the fireworks of meteors and meteorites.
Shooting stars are hurled across the blue vaults’
By ‘thy unseen baud of obedient, devoted forces.
Everybody, everything, every atom, rejoices
During thy Coronation as the Unerowned King
Of the Universes.
hvery day the trees drop flowers in Thy Honor,
And the skicy Vase serds wisps
Of fire-wist incense to Thee.
Candlesticks of heavenly powers hola the burning
stars to light Thy tenple.
vhe planetary dance glides in stately rbythm
Awai ting Thy Home-comiry.
Heavenly lights nave opened their gates. Ronfires
Of nebulous mists are heralding Thy approach.
The speedy sentincl of sun and moon pitiently
Are waiting for Thy Home-coming.
And T am running wild, dancing in my little body
on my little earth, or skimming oer the Milky
Way, coaxing everything, every atom of space,
Bvery speck of consciousness, to open its
Gates and let Thy Light shine throwh completely
And drive darkness evermore from the longsome
Wilderness of matter.

and the intelligence to reecelve the sensations of
sight, sound, touch, taste, ami suell through tie sensory nerves and to
transmit impulses through the wotor nerves. Control of the Life Force
helps the Ego to switch the electric energy from the norve-telephones,
and thus prevent the invasions of restlessness-creating, attention-
enalaving sensations, Gonirol of the Life Force in the five sense-
telephones teaches one to practice “onoentration scientifically, whon
energy is switched off from the nerve-telephones, sensations are unable
