“&nbsp;Fohat hardens the atoms&nbsp;”&nbsp;; ''i.e.'', by infusing energy into them&nbsp;: he scatters the atoms or primordial matter. “&nbsp;He scatters himself while scattering matter into atoms&nbsp;” (MSS. Commentaries.)

It is through Fohat that the ideas of the Universal Mind are impressed upon matter. Some faint idea of the nature of Fohat may be gathered from the appellation “&nbsp;Cosmic Electricity&nbsp;” sometimes applied to it&nbsp;; but to the commonly known properties of electricity must, in this case, be added others, including intelligence. It is of interest to note that modern science has come to the conclusion, that all cerebration and brain-activity are attended by electrical phenomena. (''For further details as to “&nbsp;Fohat&nbsp;” See Stanza V. and Comments.''”)
