afferent fibres (fibres determining toward aud terminat ing at the cells) convey a still more subtle essence to the cells. These two essential fluids meet and alchemically unite within the cellule. The difference in their alchem ical reactions contributes largely to the cellular or respiratory motion of the encephalon, for both the cerebrum and cerebellum are moved to respiration by these combined sources of motion. THE KORESHAN SYSTEM OF COSMOGONY Definition, Signification, CD, Use of the Word Moon. Its Correspondence to the Character of the People By Koresh PART XIV. TPHE TERM yareacb, or yareah, moon, is a Hebrew word derived from the root yarah, to be pale. The terminal character of the word moon signifies en closure; that is, a fence, environment, limitation, cir cumference. The dependent consonant implies the front head, and the initial letter, the right hand, or hand of power. The word is supposed, by Hebrew lexicograph ers, to be derived from the color of the moon, therefore the root yarah, pale. The earthly life of a man termin ates when his natural career is finished; therefore the dead man is paled; that is, fenced, environed, limited by death. So in fright the man turns pale through fear of being paled, or impaled. In our investigation of the subject under considera tion, we have seen fit to corroborate our conclusions from the signification and use of the Hebrew, because the word of every nation must correspond with the character of the people to which it belongs; that is, there is an exact agreement between the language, or word of the people, and the function of that people in the economy of righteousness. The supreme office of the Jew was to bring into being the Logos or Jehovah, the language, or Word, of God. Jesus, the incarnate Deity,—he whom all Christianity pretends to worship as God, at least with the lips,—was the product of the .lewish race. A people capable of bringing into the world the parfect Word of righteousness must be charac terized by the possession of the perfect language of the age; therefore, we are safe in resorting to this language for corroboration of the testimony we give regarding the moon's position and function in the alchemicoorganic economy of the universe. We submit the following proposition: the moon, as it appears in the alchemico-organic heavens, is the re flection from the utmost limitation, or last environ ment of the cosmos, of all the laminae, inclusive of the geologic strata and the surface of the earth. The pic ture of the moon in the heavens is an outline of the land and water of the earth's surface reflexed from the back of the silver lamina. Luna was the name given by the ancients and alchemists to the metallic substance which we denominate silver. The moon is also called Luna; this is why the silver men, or the bimetallists, are called lunatics; that is, silvertics. Those who hurl the epithet (To be continued.) at them are not aware of the origin of the truth of what they assert. We have already compared the motion and current of the lamina? and disci with the alimentary canal in the human body. This is not merely because there is a sim ilarity in their motions, but because the alchemico-or ganic universe is the correspondent of the Grand Man, or the general anthropostic world; and in the doubling up of the contents of the cellular cosmos, in the process of the incubation of the great egg or cell of the universe, that part of the environment of the egg becomes the ali mentary channel of the dispensations, and these corre spond to the alimentary canal of the vidual man. £%<? Moon the Belly of the Earth The moon is the belly of the universe; that is, of the alchemico-organic cosmos, and its office in the alchemi co-organic terminates where the function of the woman of the Grand Man terminates, namely in reconstruction. "Out of the belly of hell cried I," said Jonas, when in the belly of thegreatfisb [the sensual humanity]; "and thou heardest my voice." This refers to the descent of the Messiah into the race by the operation of the Holy Spirit, Jonah, signifying dove; the dove being the sym bol of the Holy Spirit. The mind that conceived the Copernican system, arising in the dark ages, was so simple as to take an appearance for a fact, and to deduce a theory, which better thinkers of more modern times would very soon dispose of, were it not for the fact that they will not take time to think. We have shown by repeated illus trations, that the convex theory cannot be true; but the blind idiots, called astronomers and scientists, with their inconceivable bigotry, having gone cruzy through the hallucinations of mediaeval times, must lose their reputations as scientific men, (and their bread aud butter also,) if they permit the world to be set right with regard to questions upon which they have built up for themselves names, and, through this, are honored as great lights and as educators of the people. If any man with brains, having facts at his com mand, will give two hours' candid and unbiased thought to the investigation of this subject, with the applicatiou of the principles of foreshortening as set forth in the literature of the Koreshan Unity, he will be convinced of the truth of the Cellular Cosmogony, and of the utter absurdity of the so called "Copernican" hallucination. We are told that we do not exhibit the spirit and principle of the Christ, regarding the blockheads called scientists, when we resort to language sometimes seen in The Flaminci Sword. What difference does it make whether we say, as did the Lord, "fools and blind," blind fools, blind idiots, or blind bigots and idiots. He told the truth, because it was the best way to exasper ate people and set them thinking. Koreshanity has the truth, but the present humanity (steeped in tobacco, rum, and sensualism) prefers to meet the truth of Koreshanity with ridicule rather than to give it candid consideration. But as ridicule is always the strongest argument, and the one that usually has the greatest weight with the non-thinking mind, it is not surprising One Universal Substance with Two Unh Tendencies There are two universal tendencies of substance; one is the constant determination of spirit to become matter, the other is the constant determination of matter to become spirit. By these correlate determina tions, the equilibrium or balance of relations is main tained and perpetuated. In the purely alchemico-organic domain,the various forms of matter have their correlate conditions in cor responding substances; these are called physical. If, for instance, we take the sun as the source of supreme emanation toward alchemico-organic circumferences, we find the primary elements of substance to consist of heat, light, and gravity; these are emanative products of waste, incident to the sun's activity. Were it not for a counter flow of substances generated at circumferences and constantly returning to the sun to re-supply its wastes, it would rapidly exhaust itself. The material form or condition of substance constitutes one pole and extreme of direction; the sun, the other and force con dition of substance, constitutes the opposite pole. Without the correlation of these two poles, neither could exist. It therefore follows that the great battery, composed of these two correlate extremes and all their essential intermediates, such as atmospheres, stars, etc., has had a perpetual existence. The center of determination—the sun, being the ter minal point and center of all the substancss generated at the circumferences and reflected toward the center, becomes or is the perpetual savior, because it gathers into itself, transforms or converts, and re-transmits its essences again to the circumferences. Corresponding to the alchemico-organic macrocosm is the biological macrocosm. Its center is the Lord God; its circumfer ences are composed of the humanity. As the sun constantly eliminates its debris or waste, it is still perpetuated as acentral and focal point. This is alsotrueof thebiological Sun. While the emanations from the alchemico-organic sun are alchemico-organic substances, those from the spiritual or biological Sun are spiritual entities. As the eliminations from the al chemico-organic sun have received a material impetus and determination, and can only begin to return to the sun at some terminal extremity where there is a trans formation from the alkaline or resinous to the acetic orvitreous determination, so must thespiritual entities, transmitted from the biological Sun, descend until the terminal extremity of descent is reached, where there will be a re-transformation and a diversion of the tend ency. The biological Sun is not outside of, but within the
