That the two, Archæus and “ nervous Ether,” are identical, is shown by the English Scientist, who says that the tension of it ''generally ''may be too high or too low ; that it may be so “ owing to local changes in the nervous matter it invests.” . . . “ Under sharp excitation it may vibrate as if in a storm and plunge every muscle under cerebral or spinal control into uncontrolled motion — unconscious convulsions.” | That the two, Archæus and “ nervous Ether,” are identical, is shown by the English Scientist, who says that the tension of it ''generally ''may be too high or too low ; that it may be so “ owing to local changes in the nervous matter it invests.” . . . “ Under sharp excitation it may vibrate as if in a storm and plunge every muscle under cerebral or spinal control into uncontrolled motion — unconscious convulsions.” | ||
This is called nervous excitation, but no one, except Occultists, knows the reason of such nervous perturbation or explains the ''primary ''causes of it. The “ principle of Life ” may kill ''when too exuberant'', as also when there is too little of it. But this principle on the manifested (or our) plane is but the effect and the result of the ''intelligent action ''of the “ Host ” — collectively, Principle — the manifesting Life and Light. It is itself subordinate to, and emanates from the ever-invisible, eternal and Absolute One Life in a descending and a re-ascending scale of hierarchic degrees — a true septenary ladder, with Sound (or the Logos) at the upper end and the Vidyadharas * (the inferior Pitris) at the lower. | This is called nervous excitation, but no one, except Occultists, knows the reason of such nervous perturbation or explains the ''primary ''causes of it.
