matter and mind, and their relations to the Divine Being. She said that the series of thought could not be considered as infinite, any more than the series of matter. In time and space both must be subject to quantitive limitation. The two poles of matter, as had been seen, when projected, could not help generating the circle, and the poles of the circumference, with that of the centre, could not help generating the sphere. Neither could the sphere do otherwise than generate other spheres, whose number must be limited, because without limit the idea of number could not exist. These spheres continuing passed to further and finer differentiation. This process continuing produces crystals and the various forms of vegetable and animal life. It causes trees to become vertical to their bases, the root and summit being poles of opposite necessity, with the whole current of vegetable life developed between them. This process, however, found its greatest result in the phenomena of life. Circulation cultivates the dynamic condition, being the return of a thing to its starting-point by a standing process of advance. Blood, nerve fluid, and thought make their rounds as regular as earth and sun, only more rapidly, extension and intention here compensating each other. Interrupt the circulation and the centres sicken. Death can begin either at the skin or at the heart, since life resides equally in outmost and inmost, and is dependent upon the normal conjunction and cooperation of the two.
"The further progress of polarity gives the true definition of the sexes. She supposed the whole series of mind, soul, and character to be evolved from the idea, as idea, in the same way in which form is evolved from matter, just as the idea of action and existence. The Divine, which she intended the same as the Idea, in order to reach the manifestation of number, was obliged to recognize a primary division of its attributes, for multiplication comes after division. One multiplied by one remains one to all eternity; give us another one and you begin a series without end. Sex she described as an idea with a history. In the pursuit of this idea and its history she encountered the master agency of polarity, and found herself forced to derive sex from this, and to make the one her primary and the other her secondary subject. The word sex represented two functions two parties, two personalities. The distinctions which distinguish
