assume certain combinations
and thus "create" or "generate"
an atom. This is in line with
the most ancient Hermetic
Teachings, which have always
identified the Masculine
principle of Gender with the
"Positive" and the Feminine
with the "Negative" Poles of
Electricity (so called).
Now a word at this point
regarding this identification.
The public mind has formed an
entirely erroneous impression
regarding the qualities of the
so-called "Negative" pole of
electrified or magnetized
Matter. The terms Positive and
Negative are very wrongly
applied to this phenomenon by
science. The word Positive
means something real and
strong, as compared with a
Negative unreality or
weakness. Nothing is further
from the real facts of electrical
phenomenon. The so-called
Negative pole of the battery is
really the pole in and by which
the generation or production
of new forms and energies is
manifested. There is nothing
"negative" about it. The best
scientific authorities now use
the word "Cathode" in place of
"Negative" the word Cathode

coming from the Greek root
meaning "descent, the path of
generation etc".

From the Cathode pole emerge
the swarm of electrons or
corpuscles, from the same pole
emerge those wonderful "rays"
which have revolutionized
scientific conceptions during
the past decade. The Cathode
pole is the Mother of all of the
strange phenomena which have
rendered useless the old
textbooks and which have
caused many long accepted
theories to be relegated to the
