It will be found that Gender is in constant operation and manifestation in the field of inorganic matter, and in the field of Energy or Force. Electricity is now generally regarded as the "Something" into which all other forms of energy seem to melt or dissolve.
将会发现，性别在无机的物质场，和能量场，或者力量场，都是在持续运作和显化的。电，现在被普遍认为，是似乎可以熔化或者熔解，进入到所有其它能量形式的某种东西。

The "Electrical Theory of the Universe" is the latest scientific doctrine, and is growing rapidly in popularity and general acceptance.
宇宙的电理论是最近的科学学说，在大众中广为传播并被普遍接受。

And it thus follows that if we are able to discover in the phenomena of electricity-even at the very root and source of its manifestations a clear and unmistakable evidence of the presence of Gender and its activities,
继续下去的话，如果我们能够在电现象中发现——就是在它的显化的根部和来源上，一个明确无误的性别显化和性别活动的证据的话，

we are justified in asking you to believe that science at last has offered proofs of the existence in all universal phenomena of that great Hermetic Principle-the Principle of Gender.
我们很合宜地要求你去相信，对于这个伟大的赫尔墨斯法则——性别法则，科学在最终，提供出在所有宇宙现象里存在的证据，

It is not necessary to take up your time with the well known phenomena of the "attraction and repulsion" of the atoms; chemical affinity; the "loves and hates" of the atomic particles; the attraction or cohesion between the molecules of matter.
不需要用这些广为人知的现象去占用你的时间，诸如：原子的吸引和排斥；化学亲和力；原子颗粒的爱和恨；物质分子之间的吸引或者凝聚。

These facts are too well known to need extended comment from us.
这些事实太众已经所周知，而不需要我们进一步评论。

But, have you ever considered that all of these things are manifestations of the Gender Principle?
但是，你是否曾经考虑过，所有的这些都是性别法则的显化？

Can you not see that the phenomena is "on all fours" with that of the corpuscles or electrons?
难道你不能看到，所有现象都是粒子或者电子的，这是四脚着地（铁的事实）吗？

And more than this, can you not see the reasonableness of the Hermetic Teachings which assert that the very Law of Gravitation-that strange attraction by reason of which all particles and bodies of matter in the universe tend toward each other is but another manifestation of the Principle of Gender, which operates in the direction of attracting the Masculine to the Feminine energies, and vice versa?
比这更进一步的，你难道不能看到，在万有引力理论上，是和赫尔墨斯教导和谐的吗？

万有引力这种奇怪的吸引，宇宙中所有的物质朝向彼此的原因，只是性别法则的另一个表达，性别法则是运作在吸引雄性到雌性能量的方向上，或者反过来。

We cannot offer you scientific proof of this at this time
-but examine the phenomena in the light of the Hermetic Teachings on the subject, and see if you have not a better working hypothesis than any offered by physical science.
现在对这点，我们无法提供科学上的证据
——但是检验这个现象，如果你还没有发现一个合适的物理假设的话，你会发现，对于这个主题，赫尔墨斯教导中的亮光。

Submit all physical phenomena to the test, and you will discern the Principle of Gender ever in evidence.
对所有物理现象进行检验，你会发现性别法则在任何上面都是明显的。

Let us now pass on to a consideration of the operation of the Principle on the Mental Plane. Many interesting features are there awaiting examination.
让我们现在去到对性别法则在心理层面上运作的思考。许多有趣的特质正在哪里等待查验。
