composed of Atoms, which,
likewise, are in a state of
constant movement and
vibration. The atoms are
composed of Corpuscles,
sometimes called
"electrons," "ions," etc,
which also are in a state of
rapid motion, revolving
around each other and
which manifest a very
rapid state and mode of
vibration. And, so we see
that all forms of Matter
manifest Vibration, in
accordance with the
Hermetic Principle of
Vibration.
And so it is with the
various forms of Energy.
Science teaches that Light,
Heat, Magnetism and
Electricity are but forms of
vibratory motion
connected in some way
with and probably
emanating from the Ether.
Science does not as yet
attempt to explain the
nature of the phenomena
known as Cohesion, which
is the principle of
Molecular Attraction; nor
Chemical Affinity, which is
the principle of Atomic
Attraction; nor Gravitation

(the greatest mystery of
the three), which is the
principle of attraction by
which every particle or
mass of Matter is bound to
every other particle or
mass. These three forms of
Energy are not as yet
understood by science, yet
the writers incline to the
opinion that these too are
manifestations of some
form of vibratory energy, a
fact which the Hermetists
have held and taught for
ages past.

The Universal Ether, which
is postulated by science
without its nature being
understood clearly, is held
by the Hermetists to be but
a higher manifestation of
that which is erroneously
called matter - that is to
