These states — once the spirit of Esoteric philosophy is grasped — become absolutely necessary from simple logical and analogical considerations. Physical Science having now ascertained, through its department of Chemistry, the invariable law of this evolution of atoms — from their “ ''protylean ”'' state down to that of a physical and then a chemical particle (or molecule) — cannot well reject the same as a general law. And once it is forced by its enemies — Metaphysics and Psychology * — out of its alleged impregnable strongholds, it will find it more difficult than it now appears to refuse room ''in the Spaces ''of {{Style S-Small capitals|Space}} to Planetary Spirits (gods), Elementals, and even the ''Elementary ''Spooks or Ghosts, and others. Already Figuier and Paul D’Assier, two Positivists and Materialists, have succumbed before this logical necessity. Other and still greater Scientists will follow in that “ intellectual {{Style S-Small capitals|Fall}}.” They will be driven out of their position not by spiritual, theosophical, or any other physical or even mental phenomena, but simply by the enormous ''gaps ''and ''chasms ''that open daily and will still be opening before them, as one discovery follows the other, until they are finally knocked off their feet by the ninth wave of simple common sense. | These states — once the spirit of Esoteric philosophy is grasped — become absolutely necessary from simple logical and analogical considerations.
