________________ OCCOLT POWERS 101 rise up. Is that force of gravitation set aside ? No, but another force is brought into existence, which being more powerful produces a contrary result from the law of gravitation. The law of gravitation is still true, but not fully understood by us. While no psychometer would actually see the impressions in the ether in thought-transference, we make certain impressions, on the ether, and the waves created by these go on until they reach the desired object. We must make a distinction between the ordinary power of electricity and the power of thoughttransference. We cannot make electricity go in any direction except that in which the wire is set, but in the other case we can change the direction at once at any moment that we like. There are many conditions of these occult powers; certain powers of the Yogis are very important. Their practices, their views, their life, would become clear to us if we understood the occult reasons. The rule is that our monks ought not to except money. Why ? There is a reason indeed for that, and it is that the earning of money requires thought and care, and therefore they ought not to use their thought for this, because they have to do so many doubtful things for the purpose of earning it. It is not the money itself but the life of money is bad so far as its meaning is understood. That is all right, but there is also an occuit reason which is got undorstood by all educated Hindus even.
