are not included in it. This theory supposes the rise of one species from another. As circumstances changed those who could adopt survived and those who could not got destroyed. That is all true and can work as a very good hypothesis in discovering the process of social and political history of man. Still there are facts coming before the scientists, in huge number, showing incompleteness of the theory and calling for important changes in its conception. The theory conceived the individual merely as a sperm in the father's body starting his life's journey in the mother's womb, perishing completely at death having procreated sometimes some sperms from his body as man during his life-span. He has himself no pre-natal and post-mortem existence. He is merely a link in the evolution of species. The facts of rebirth, survival and transmigration have redelivered man from this abject state. He can now no more be said a growth of paternal sparm which only is a factor in his gross body formation. He is himself as immigrant into the mother's womb with all his characteristics developed through his past lives and registered in his magnetic and electric bodies. As he grows and lives his life the principal job he does, knowingly or unknowingly, physically to bring certain changes in his magnetic and electric bodies, psychometabolically to evolve or devolve himself to a certain spiritual level. This is no imaginary picture that we put, no reverie that we indulge but the inexhorable facts which the scientists must not hoodwink and must change their theory of evolution of life accordingly.
With this example we may well conclude that the important in modern science is not its theory aspect but its discoveries of facts. Unfortunately, the scientists are giving more importance to their theories than to the facts to explain which the theories are framed. They sometimes even talk of not acknowledging those facts which do not fit their general physicalistic framework. It is evidently a very dangerous talk.
Significance of the Field
It is easy to understand from the foregoing discussion that the place of electro-magnetic field in man's life should be immense. We may try to understand its significance briefly as follows:
1.
Its effect on the health of the gross body :
Our body is healthy or diseased as is this field in us auspicious or inauspicious, powerful or otherwise. We have seen that in all our bodily fuctions it is involved as an essential factor. It has not only direct effect
