Its Relation to Planetary Life. What is Radiant Energy? Why the Ancients Worshipped the Sun. The Parsees the Present Sun Worshippers.

It is supposed to be a figure of speech, a mere bit of symbolism to call the sun masculine and the earth feminine. To call the earth a woman. To state that woman was made from man, etc. But when it is understood that sex is nothing but polarity, that male and female, masculine and feminine and positive and negative are synonymous terms, we begin to understand the truly scientific nature of these expressions. They are purely electrical terms. This sex or polarity is universal. The Macrocosm and the Microcosm are the same. The Universe is not a Di-verse. Individuality is not di-viduality. Every organism in the universe is thoroughly bi-polar or bi-sexual, manifesting the eternal nature of its ultimate component electrons.

The writer once saw hundreds of children under a common impulse come swarming, dancing, from every quarter of a great city to a common meeting place. As they rushed together en masse their individual movements continued until out of the marching and counter-marching, the shifting, changing, rearranging,[36] re-adjusting there was evolved before his eyes the flag of this nation with its glorious stripes and stars composed of human boys and girls.

We have stated that ether, air, fire, water, earth, are but masses of infinitesimally small particles—called electrons—of the one primeval, universal substance, living their life of attraction and repulsion, embrace and separation, forever whirling in their eternal “Maypole dance.” Rushing together in a mad embrace, then darting away to seek some other partner. Weaving in and out, in and out, around about, back and forth, to and fro. This dance is called Creation—Evolution. It is an eternal Brocken—an eternal Nachtspiel.

The sun is but one great mass of these whirling, vibrating, dancing electrons. As varying numbers of these rush off and regroup themselves, other planets are “born” or evolved. All depend upon the larger or parent mass from which they parted. Our earth is but one of these children of the sun. The earth is a woman, a beautiful woman, forever young, forever fair. The sun is her father.

The sun is the primary source of the variety of forms of life on this earth. While the electrical energy, or positive and negative impulse of the electrons of atomic matter, constitute the eternal force or energy called Life, only by the radiant energy of the sun in our system,[37] could we have the planets—of which our earth is one—and the varied forms of activity evolved and maintained thereon. Our earth could no more produce these higher forms of activity called mineral, vegetable, animal, man,—all biological activities—without the sun, than the female could produce offspring without the male. The sun is positive, the earth negative. The sun’s vibrations reach our earth in about eight minutes and acting upon its atmosphere, it finds a resistance or polarity out of which is evolved light, heat and moisture.

Every molecule of our body is rotated into form and continues its activities by the radiant energy of the sun.

Here again we see there can be no death. Every atom in the universe is living, pulsating, vibrating electric energy.

The sun is like a great dynamo, rotating every planetary body into form and position, and through its continued radio-activity carrying on the further processes of creation called the evolution of sentient life. It is often asked, “Are other worlds inhabited by sentient beings?” There can be no reason for supposing otherwise. Given atmospheres, and the radiant energy of the sun or suns, must by analogy evolve like results on other planets.

We do not wonder the ancients worshipped the sun. They regarded it as the source or author of their being—their Creator. The theologian calls his creator God. But the Hebrew word for God is Elohim—creative forces. John says, “The word was God.” The psalmist says, “Day unto day uttereth speech.” What is speech but vibration? The sun is the source of all vibration in the solar system. It has created this earth and all its inhabitants. All forms of life on this planet, all activities, are but the radiant energy of the sun.
