very glory of the LOGOS that He can sacrifice Himself to the uttermost by
thus permeating and making Himself one with that portion of koilon which He
chooses as the field of His universe.

What koilon is, what its origin, whether it is itself changed by the Divine
Breath which is poured into it--does "Dark Space" thus become "Bright
Space" at the beginning of a manifestation?--these are questions to which
we cannot at present even indicate answers. Perchance an intelligent study
of the great Scriptures of the world may yield replies.

[2] The drawings of the elements were done by two Theosophical artists,
Herr Hecker and Mrs. Kirby, whom we sincerely thank; the diagrams, showing
the details of the construction of each "element," we owe to the most
painstaking labour of Mr. Jinarâjadâsa, without whose aid it would have
been impossible for us to have presented clearly and definitely the
complicated arrangements by which the chemical elements are built up. We
have also to thank him for a number of most useful notes, implying much
careful research, which are incorporated in the present series, and without
which we could not have written these papers.
