![]() I have quoted this principle of Contact Potential Difference from a standard work on electricity because it operates in all action of the mind and is an outstanding factor in ESP and in every variety of psychic phenomena. Volta listed a series of several metals, viz., zinc, lead, tin, iron, copper, silver, gold, such that when any two are put in contact, the one first named is at the higher potential.” Thus when the metals are iron and copper, the iron has a potential about 0.15 volts higher than the copper, while for tin and iron the difference is 0.31 volts, tin being the higher. This potential difference he found to be characteristic of the given pair of metals. “Volta found that when pieces of two different metals, otherwise insulated, are brought into contact, they acquire opposite charges and maintain a difference of electrical potential even while still touching. This potential difference between individuals and between persons and objects is well illustrated by the Contact Potential Difference between metals discovered by Volta: The energy flow is always from the highest potential to the lower potential. ![]() When such contact is made, the similarity of the vibrations affords opportunity for the exchange of energies. To contact through the inner plane anything belonging to any realm the vibrations must be raised or lowered until they are similar to the vibrations of that which is to be contacted. ![]() The down-pointing trine represents not the selfish acquiring of material things denoted by the sand accumulating below but the evolution of man to angel, which requires giving to society, not receiving from it, well symbolized by the sand of this trine flowing freely away from it.Īs the degrees upward from those of the cross, representing transition of the activities to the inner plane, repeatedly refer to ability to control the energies thus contacted and to ability to prevent control by entities thus contacted, this seems to be the place to set forth the principles on which rest such control. The hourglass is an emblem showing the point where angel and animal meet in the soul and body of man the up-pointing trine indicating the sands of time through which, in evolving from the animal to the human, there were developed the required initiative and selfish propensities. In this realm the conscience is laid bare, as signified by the naked heart, and atonement made through suffering and purification. Evil done on earth pursues the soul, as signified by the sword, into the astral. ![]() It exemplifies the truth that every mistake must be atoned for, and every debt of conscience paid to the last farthing before the spiritual plane is reached. The sword pointing to the naked heart signifies remorse for past misdeeds true repentance followed by penance. In the cycle of the soul this represents the soul’s descent into the mineral realm, its evolution through lower forms of life up to the state of man, and from man, by way of the equinox of regeneration, evolving into the still higher state of angelhood. The three steps on the Master’s carpet symbolize the three steps in the sun’s annual journey its fall from summer into winter over the autumnal cross, its encasement in the tomb of winter at the southern solstice, and its final resurrection into a new summer by way of the vernal cross. OF THE EMBLEMS belonging to the Master’s degree, the naked heart symbolizes conscience, and indicates that on the inner planes the motive of any action can never be concealed, and that every impulse is laid bare.
