‘The instrument of spiritual activities in impelling the movements of the races of Man, always westward, is the magnetism of the Sun, which is described as winding as it were, a coil of invisible wire round and round the globe in this direction, and this causing a perpetual flow of physical or perhaps it would be more correct to say aetheric, energies towards the west, but however mechanical the process, it has a psychical side and even a spiritual one’…. F. Bligh Bond (1919)
