vibrations of light, heat
etc, it is not actually
"resolved" into those forms
of energy (which are much
higher in the scale), but
simply that it reaches a
degree of vibration in
which those forms of
energy are liberated, in a
degree, from the confining
influences of its molecules,
atoms and corpuscles, as
the case may be. These
forms of energy, although
much higher in the scale
than matter are imprisoned
and confined in the
material combinations, by
reason of the energies
manifesting through and
using material forms, but
thus becoming entangled
and confined in their
creations of material
forms, which, to an extent,
is true of all creations, the
creating force becoming
involved in its creation.
But the Hermetic Teachings
go much further than do
those of modern science.
They teach that all
manifestation of thought,
emotion, reason, will or
desire, or any mental state
or condition, are

accompanied by vibrations,
a portion of which are
thrown off and which tend
to affect the minds of other
persons by "induction."
This is the principle which
produces the phenomena
of "telepathy", mental
influence and other forms
of the action and power of
mind over mind, with
which the general public is
rapidly becoming
acquainted, owing to the
wide dissemination of
occult knowledge by the
various schools, cults and
teachers along these lines
at this time.
Every thought, emotion or
mental state has its
corresponding rate and
mode of vibration. And by
an effort of the will of the
person, or of other
persons, these mental
states may be reproduced,
just as a musical tone may
be reproduced by causing
an instrument to vibrate at
a certain rate - just as
colour may be reproduced
in the same may. By a
knowledge of the Principle
of Vibration, as applied to
Mental Phenomena, one
