here are other vehicles above the causal body.] [Footnote 239: All the powers of the Universe are in the divine germ, as the tree is in its seed.] [Footnote 240: Because it no longer has a dense physical body. There are exceptions to this rule, but there is no necessity to mention them here.] [Footnote 241: The Christian Heaven, the _Devachan_ of Theosophy.] [Footnote 242: This character has already appeared on the astral plane, though not in so striking a fashion.] [Footnote 243: Unity exists on the plane of the Ego, and the latter sends his thought into the forms made out of his vehicles; this will be understood only by the few, but an explanation cannot be given at this point, without writing a volume on the whole of theosophy.] [Footnote 244: We are still dealing with the ordinary man.] [Footnote 245: When liberation is attained. This can be effected rapidly by those who _will_ to attain it.] [Footnote 246: Only four of the seven atomic _spirillae_ are active in this our fourth planetary Round (one for each Round). They can be rapidly vitalised by the will.] [Footnote 247: When the soul is "centred" in it.] [Footnote 248: The vibrations, whether registered as they pass or not registered, continue their course through the substance of the Universe.] [Footnote 249: Science even now recognises four of these dimensions.] [Footnote 250: This is said in order to satisfy such as are of a metaphysical turn of mind, and frequently prone to criticism.] [Footnote 251: When the inner senses are developed.] [Footnote 252: A question will doubtless at once rise to the minds of many readers; how can the same atoms produce, at once and almost eternally, millions of different facts? We will reply briefly. Science has been able to conceive of an explanation of a fact apparently quite as absurd--the phenomenon of the balls of Russian platinum mentioned by Zoellner (_Transcendental Physics_, ch. 9) which pass through hermetically sealed glass tubes, and that of the German copper coins dropping through the bottom of a sealed box on to a slate--by accepting a fourth dimension of space. Who would affirm that the dimensions of space are limited to four? Or that the science of the immediate future will not be brought face to face with facts, and find, in a fifth or sixth dimension of space, a possible explanation of the phenomenon here mentioned, one which initiated seers can test whenever they please, because
