forming the energies emanating from Absolute II.

This filling in must necessarily have taken place at the contact of the planet, as

indicated by the position of the latter in the Great Octave. This position also reflects one
of the aspects of the Mixtus Orbis nature of the Earth, which is situated at the MI level

of the Octave but which, as an element of the planetary cohort, participates in the note

FA. Organic life is placed, therefore, at the level of the interval, between the two notes.
Today, positive science is verifying the traditional conception, according to which, the

atmosphere of a planet results from the concentration of ETHER under the influence of

refined energies: this is a symbolic way of saying that diffused intersidereal matter is

susceptible to condensation around a planet, when solar action has induced the

constitution of a magnetic field there, which tends, itself, to intercept matter passing
through space. Tradition allows for an interaction between atmosphere, magnetic field

and solar radiation: once constituted, the atmosphere resists solar radiation and this

resistance reinforces the terrestrial magnetic field. Among other functions, the latter
intercepts certain influences directed by the sun towards our planet for the sake of

organic life and for man in particular, as he is the most sensitive organism to be found

here. The reception is rendered uniform by the diurnal rotation of the Earth. To this

direct and regular absorption is added an indirect reception reflected by the Moon and

whose intensity and quality vary according to
