As we look out over the world of the intellect and carry our thoughts from the points of living knowledge there to be found, we may become aware of areas of light (as we understand it) shining forth upon the physical plane. Such areas indicate the shining light of some worker in the field, of some disciple, or of some member of the New Group of World Servers. I know, for instance, that such areas are to be found (as regards the United States) in Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland and Rochester. By a peculiar [368] mode of shining this indicates to me that there is to be found a center where the newer knowledges anent man's body are to be found. I know that there are other areas of light existing all over the world. My work and the work of all the teachers in this transition period is to stimulate them and fertilize their minds with ideas. Every theory they form in their search for truth, every book they write, and every conclusion they reach is not known to us. They must carry their own responsibility and fail or succeed in arriving at the truth through their own self-initiated effort.

H.P.B. prophesied the work now being done many years ago when she spoke of the recognition ultimately to be accorded by science to an universally diffused omnipresent Deity (the ether of space is an entity, she also tells us) and that the mystery of electricity, when solved, holds for us the solution of most of our problems. Many of the theories of modern science are laid down in A Treatise on Cosmic Fire, though scientists have not gone far enough yet to recognize this fact; there the electrical nature of man is posited. You would find it interesting and helpful to search out such passages. Science, however, gives no place to the electrical force of the soul, which is steadily growing in potency. A few of the scientists among the most advanced are beginning to do this. The next step ahead for science is the discovery of the soul, a discovery which will revolutionize, though not negate, the majority of their theories.

Individual students might aid in this if they took some of the basic postulates of a scientist whose researches appealed to them, and endeavored to discover in my books, for instance, or in The Secret Doctrine, those paragraphs which will throw occult light upon what he says, or which may negate his hypothesis. Then they would be growing [369] and using the analytical mind as a bridging factor between the world of human science and the occult sciences.
