Stanza VI, Slokas 5-6
5. At the fourth, the sons are told to create their images. One third refuses – to obey.
The curse is pronounced; they will be born on the fourth suffer and cause suffering; this is the first war.
6. The older wheels rotated downwards and upwards….The mother’s spawn filled the whole. There were battles fought between the Creators and the Destroyers, and battles fought for space; the seed appearing and re-appearing continuously.
“Mr. B. Keightley: In this little extract from the commentaries, speaking about the world germs and so on, you say (Reads from The Secret Doctrine). Question 11. It is said that “the older (bodies) attract the younger, while others repel them.” What are these “others” here spoken of, and why should it be the older bodies that attract?
Mme. Blavatsky: I suppose they are wiser, less green than others. On this I can say no more than is given in The Secret Doctrine. There is such a thing as attraction and repulsion, and in occultism it stands in the place of gravity, the scientific teachings about which we reject. This belong to occult physics, before the turn of which comes for us on Thursday evenings the twentieth century must have dawned. I give you everything I can give; don’t you ask me for more.
Mr. Old: Then I suppose occultism recognizes an attraction which has no relation to bulk. It overthrows the accepted Western idea.
Mme. Blavatsky: If I have one thing well in my memory it is the 20, 30, perhaps 100 conversations we had with Mr. Cobb, sitting there. When it came out here with the fourth-dimensional space – which was ridiculous, because the fourth-dimensional space, taken simply, means the fall of matter through matter, the impenetrability of matter – and we had many conversations; and he knows perfectly well in occultism no one believes in this gravity question. We believe attraction and repulsion. Is it not so, Mr. Cobb?
Mr. Cobb: I believe it is so.
Mme. Blavatsky: You remember what conversations we had in New York? And you were the first one who said it.
Mr. Cobb: I do not know about that, I am sure.
Mme. Blavatsky: You said always it was attraction and repulsion.
Mr. Cobb: I did not know I was the first, at all.
Mme. Blavatsky: Well, it is the old occult axiom.”
