Atmos.Love man and help him malce life true,Help him his daily strength renew,He- unto him Joy undefiled,Believe in father, mother, child.

The Philosophy of Ath-mos.N T H E plateau of Iram , now called Pamir,

3149 years ago, was born Ath-mos the Philosopher. This plateau is located about 700 miles east of the Caspian Sea. In all the old sacred books of the Aryan

race, this part of Asia was called the roof or dome of the world. The m ajesty of its natural beauty is indescribable. Gradually rising from a succes sion of evergreen valleys to the altitude of 10,000 feet, the plateau is surrounded by magnifi cent m ountains. Crowned by eternal snows, riven deep with gorges and ravines, these m oun tains assume a m ost venerable and awe-inspiring aspect. From the center of the lower valley, one

1

ATM OS may see num erous rock-strew n peaks close to 20,000 feet in height tow ering above the lowlands. F rom one .of... these peaks a view of North ern India, Cashmere and T hibet is a perfectvision of loveliness__ In no other p a rt^o f theworld is there such a splendor of N ature lavishly bestowed upon understanding eyes. The very stars burn and blaze w ith a brilliancy dazzling in their intense luster. Amid these surroundings A th-m os was born. V ery little is known of his parentage; in fact it is im possible to separate the tru th about his early life from the m ere legendary part thereof. A s’ a m atter of common belief am ong his scholars, the idea exists th a t at the age of tw enty he was a m aker of earthen vessels, the artistic beauty of which a ttrac ted the atten tion of a patron who was learned in the religious! thought of his time. T o this day in the m onasteries of T hibet and of N orthern India, the favored are shown vessels which are made after the pattern of those made by Ath-mos and

| | . .* which are supposed to be used only in the serviceof the Altar. A t the age of twenty-seven Ath-mos appeared am ong the people and taught them a system of philosophic thoughts upon life, which system to this day stands unrivaled in its beauty and simplicity. W hen thirty-three years old, he surrounded himself w ith a number

2

ATMOS

2of devoted followers who lived as nearly as pos sible in conformity with his teachings. There is no authentic record of the time of his death.

Ath-mos taught that all life, including every- 1 thing on this earth and all other planets, is the expression of a perfect thought of the future by a thought of the present living principle, perme ating every atom: a living principle unable to be understood in its infinite scope and purpose by any human being, but capable of being under stood by every human being in m atters relating to himself alone.

He held that there could not be any special revelation made nor a personal intimate knowl edge of that living principle given to or by any special or favored human being, because of the manifest unfairness of this to others. The idea of a supreme Ruler of the universe as a person was discarded by Ath-mos as untenable, because of his belief that the world, by the fact of its existence, became self-sustaining in its source of

; life. This All-Source of life Ath-mos called “ natural,” not “ nature '” ; God, meaning “All good.”

He held that the existence of a fundamental power or principle is proven by our own exist ence and power to re-create.That our existence is the result of a perfect

3 i

thought. T h a t -our own pow er to re-create is the resu lt of our divine origin.T h a t we pass th ro u g h various and entirely con nected stages of developm ent, com m only called life, before we reach the full understanding of the purpose of it all. T h a t w hen understood in its finality, a grander, freer and m ore active life, w ithout ending, commences,, either in living again on ' earth or in understand ing the w orld better, w hile in a different activity.

H e held th a t the essence of any th ing can never be destroyed; th a t once being born we can never die.T h a t all evil conditions are m an-m ade, and conse quently capable of being rectified by man.T h a t the tem porary m an-m ade evil is justified, its resu lt being detrim en tal to happiness, and th a t th ro u g h th is experience we gain understanding . T h a t Our spiritual, m ental and physical condition depends upon our will, c ircum scribed m ore ‘ or less only by our understand ing or by th e lack of if. T h a t life is an o pportun ity to be good, or Godlike, th a t is, to be natural.T h a t death neither sustains n g r nullifies our actions in th is life, bu t m erely ga thers the tangled w ebs of it to g e th e r for a stra ig h ten in g out.T h a t there need be no fear of a Judgm ent after

ATM OS death, but that there is a c e r t a in t y o f it h e r e , by the results of our own acts.That a complete trust in the wisdom of good and the folly of evil is the guide to tranquillity in this, life and the better understanding of the lives yet to be lived. T hat we are not punished f or our sins, but by our s in s ;,not in the hereafter^ but! NOW.That each human being is a free agent, liable to make mistakes and to commit errors, but certain to live in ultimate truth.That the great human virtues are but mirrors of ourselves; the great human vices but leading to the truth, vice being virtue misled.That our slightest thoughts or actions affect all' the world.That by helping others, we help ourselves; by injuring others, we injure ourselves.T hat each lives for himself and Good, God, for us all; and that in living for all, Good, God,, lives for us.

No vows of any kind ever bound or now bind any member of the Brotherhood to a fixed stand ard of living or belief.On the contrary, the first and cardinal principle in the Brotherhood is to acknowledge the possi bility of growing in the understanding of the Central T ruth of Life—so they do not promise to adhere to a fixed belief. 6

Guided by this idea, th^ sorrow of to-day cannot ATMOS dim the joy of the future.- The joy of the moment is understood as being only temporary, and only its memory is lasting.

W e believe that Life is vanity to the lazy, but tru th to the worker.W e each learn a profession or a logical system of using our natural talents to augment those of our brothers, so that all may be supported by the m aterial exchange of that which each requires.W e believe that the delver after tru th—true, unselfish devotion to humanity—becomes the scientist of his kind, the dreamer of beautiful thoughts, the star of the aching heart of humanity.T hat all work or activity in doing something useful is divine and natural.T hat our body is a direct creation of the forces of life.T hat our mind is an entity, and is separate in, and from the body.T hat the life-giving and sustaining principle is an influx from without, not from within.T hat our inner life is the appreciation and the comprehension of the influx of the life-giving principle from without, by spiritualizing the body.T hat all our lives m ust be lived simply, directly, and forcibly, to be of any value.

7

Wm

T hat it is be tter to believe in the divinity of A TM O S m anhood than in the m anhood of divinity.T hat all are children of a suprem e fatherhood of life, and destined to prove them selves so on the earth.

The B rotherhood, for the last 3000 years has endeavored to live up to the foregoing principles as nearly as possible. I ts principal aim is to re-establish betw een m an and m an the faculty of trusting in each other.To accom plish this end in a practical way by taking special care of the very young and the aged.To give the young m anual tra in ing ; to awaken in them their natural ta len ts; to teach them to make them selves useful, dependent upon them selves, helpful to all.To teach them to live a natural, sane, reason able life so th a t o thers m ay be a ttrac ted by their sweetness, gentleness and the tru th of the ir way of living, and not by their preaching.To establish homes and schools in all branches of activity; to cultivate lands upon which to live, and to be of reciprocal value.

They recognize in all creeds, churches and sects the desire of the hum an heart to find satisfaction in and an explanation of life.T hat each is entitled to the expression m ost suit able to his view in m atters spiritual, however

9

ATMOS different from others, and should be neither persecuted nor punished for it.That we all should live in peace with one another and do the best we can.

The Brotherhood of Divine Humanity is now a recognized organization in the United States of North America. Its charter was granted under the laws of the State of Illinois, in the year 1901. O. N. Orlow is its Prior Brother and Organizer. The practical work connected with the institution is now being forwarded from the Brotherhood’s Headquarters in San Francisco, California, located at 3440 Clay Street, corner of Laurel Street.From time to time the readers 01 this Magazine and the numerous friends of the Brotherhood will be informed of the progress of the work. That this work is destined to become a power ful factor in the affairs of this great nation is apparent to those who have watched its begin ning in Chicago and its work there and elsewhere, in the last five years. Its fundamental principle is the desire to spread the knowledge of natural laws, which in its long years of existence the Brotherhood has studied deeply, among all peo ples, all races and all creeds; so that each human being may learn to lead a truer, healthier, saner

The Question of Livingin Accord with the Philosophy of Atmos.

H E fact th a t we are born into th is world m akes it im perative upon us to know w hat to do w ith our lives.I t is useless and a w aste of tim e to try to find out w hy we are born. No

reasoning hum an being has ever been able to answ er tha t question satisfactorily. But w hat we are born for is of u tm ost im portance for us to know.W e can and do know our environm ent, our cir cum stances, our lim itations and our talents. These th ings make or m ar our lives. I t occurs to

ATM OS

13

A TM O S me that all drawbacks or hindrances to a happy, contented and successful life are solely of human origin, due to m an’s ignorance of natural laws. To know these natural laws and press them into service for our welfare, and not use them to our undoing, is the reason for the existence of this magazine.

The spreading of this knowledge of natural laws, acquired by studies of an ordinary lifetime under the guidance of the principles of the Philos ophy of Atmos, is therefore a D uty I owe to H um anity. The principles to be taught in this magazine are in no sense opposed to any enlight ened, although different; view. I have no fault to find with any one differing from me in m atters of religion, science or o ther views upon life. All this is m an’s individual business. All I know jjf tha t ‘w hatever makes us live a true, natural and useful life is right. W hether the cause, of so living is found in the teachings of Brahmanism/ Buddhism," Christianity or science, m atters not.

The m om ent, though, a man, or a set of men claim a perfection of knowledge as to the here after, an exclusive paten trigh t and consequent privileges above other men, their tru th becomes aii obstacle to them selves and others.

T he righ t of‘ individual Judgm ent in all things, however w rong Sometimes in practice, is right

I 14

in theory, and is our only safeguard in life and A TM O S insures sanity in all things. W hen Shis righ t is disputed or set aside by force, conditions are con- ceived tha t are not conducive to the welfare of anyone. A com plete liberty in m atters of con science will always result in the gradual and natural grow th of enlightenm ent in all things.To help this natural grow th from m y standpoint is iny desire.To my mind the presen t condition of- hum an existence upon th is p lanet is in need o f b e tte r ment.Not that everything is evil, or is going to be so, but tha t everything is not good enough.There should be no th ing too good for the child of any M other.God bless the M others, and God love the Fathers-, and help the children. T o them is m y life w ork dedicated. W hat I can do to help them , I shall do. * >*• ■ • ________

. I t will be well to save these m agazines as they appear. T hey shall be w orthy of it.N othing will be presented therein but w hat is natural, and the .good doing of and to man.M an’s evil, or rather, unfortunate doings, will be ignored and not exploited.Whomever knows or sees an y one d o . som ething kind and gentle to a hum an being, o r animal,

15

A T M O S or any living th ing th a t can feel and suffer, will do a favor by sending me name and time and place of such occurrence. I t will be pub lished.I t is be tte r to know all about the virtues of our neighbor, than about his failings. O ur own fail ings should receive at our own hands the first and last consideration.

No m oralizing is attem pted in these lines, but to give voice to earnest thoughts of help of which we are all so much in need; the help of sym pathy and of advice in trouble; the help of apprecia tion and the sharing in our joys as well as sorrow s.

T he series of lectures delivered in Chicago in the last three years, as well as those delivered in the Golden Gate Hall, San Francisco, California, will be published in book form. The lectures in San Francisco have already been attended by several thousand people, and classes are now being organized.T hey will be held every Tuesday and Friday, 8 p. M., at the O rlow Institu te Hall, 344° Clay Street.A complete mail course of the lessons taught is now in preparation.Application for term s addressed to Business M anager A t m o s will receive prom pt attention.

A TM O S Again, this nervous or m ental action finds its refinement of forces in the ether called psycho- | ethers.These psycho-ethers are the embodiment, spiri tually, of the thought-atom s of heat and electric- I ity. N atural light, colored by the positive and negative forces of electric fluid, constitutes the great power of life, nam ely: creation and restora tion.Color assumes form, as a direct result of the blending of positive and negative force.Form assum es color by reflection.Color assum es form, as shown by plants, flowers, fruits.Form assum es color, grow ing from the seed within, to the place of fruition.Benevolent force, th a t is energy well directed, is the leading phenom enon of the universe. Without it all life would never have been created, would cease to exist on the instant, if withdrawn.T he force of hum an will, directed through knowl edge of color and form , will accomplish wonders in the trea tm en t of m isdirected health, called disease.A t the m om ent of the conception of a human being a perfect prism of colors appears in the centers of nerve force, and flows like a golden stream into the new aw akened atom of life.In every issue of th is m agazine will be an article upon the subject of color and form.

A TM O SCure for Appendicitis.OCAL inflammation is caused by the

presence of a foreign body in the appendix. Nature, by inflammation, forces the foreign substance to exude from the blood, then proceeds to set up

a hardening process around it, thereby rendering it harmless, and the inflammation ceases.T hat is nature’s way of healing. Follow it.The danger of the whole process is the spreading of the inflammation to the o ther parts of the body. To prevent this take cool sitz baths and continuous cold towel baths, until relieved.The function of the appendix is to secrete the fluid with which to lubricate the caecum. T he caecum is a valve through which th is fluid m ust pass to prevent the c lo g g in g '7of the bowels.In this world of magnificent forces, pow er of life manifests itself in the form of gaseous fluids called ether. Blood, air, or steam , is fluid in its nature. The sap in all form s of vegetable life is fluid. All of the g reatest and best of our forces are fluidic in nature. So, th a t little organ, called the appendix, instead of being a useless organ, fit only to be removed, is part of the fluidic nature of all life.

Smiles. A T M O S

H E man who does his best is the one least understood.Smile at him once in a while ju s t to encourage him.T hat we do not know, is w hat ails us.

He that knows not, and knows no t th a t he know s not, is weak: strengthen him.He that knows not, and know s th a t he know s not, is simple: teach him.He that knows, and knows no t th a t he know s, is asleep: waken him.He that knows, and knows th a t he know s, is wise.Follow him, for ignorance is the ro o t o f m isfo r tune. — Ex.

Natural Laws.

The natural laws of our existence can never be transgressed w ithout c rea ting confusion in th e physical as well as in the m ental life of th e tr a n s gressor. Each law has m any spheres of action , of which the individual is the expression. T h e law s

23

A T M O S of life, his spirit forever places the roses of his desires, the lilies of his purity; and the gentle rocking of the gladsome waves will be in unison w ith the eternal sym phony of the boundless T ru th .But in the patient suffering of the evils caused by us before we knew their sting, the gentle offer ing of a loving heart to other suffering souls, the silent hand-clasp with the friend in trouble, the willing forgiveness of our enemies, we shall find in the ir unseen power, stronger far than th a t we see, the key to life. In the bud and blosr som, the air and the sky, the earth and stars, the days, the nights, the travail of the growing though ts, the pain of good misunderstood, let us l6ok for proofs of our own immortality, and natu ra l laws. No o ther proof is natural, no other proof can be right.Am id the strife and clash of cults or creeds, let us discern the note of the same God-like desire to know th e ideal, and although expressed in im perfection, the /^rfection of it all will be the reality of the eternal life, we thus seek and find.

26

A T M O SOur Greatness.O N TEM PLA TE our greatness, tru s t

our littleness. Realize in the small things of life the seed of the great things. Life is what time is not, for time is but a measure of things, and life

is boundless in its creation of things.Death is what time is: the measure of an inci

dent, cause and result, the b irthright of our first birth , the proof of its certainty, the promise of its unfolding into better understanding.

Time can only exist where death is final, so tim e and death are but expressions, not finali ties of life.

The rhythmic unisonof calm, deep thoughts of life with all the melody of earth and stars, is but the prelude of the glorious chimes that hang high up in Heaven.

And ever and anon an angel, passing, pauses and strikes the tone he needs to gather strength , and forthwith captures it; and, covered by the radiance of his wings, he brings it to the weary soul in waiting of his coming, so_ it, too, may know the source of Heaven—strength.

27

The striking of the perfect sound upon the A T M O S chimes of time, forthw ith , creates worlds.Vast desert places blossom w ith the ro se ; the purple hills hide their sp lendor in g rea tn ess; the dew-blessed valleys g lo ry in the ripened harvest, and m an stands fo rth on earth , the perfect flower of a flawless stem , th e soul deep-rooted in the love of God.

U BSCRIBERS to this magazine are wanted. I believe the Magazine to be a powerful agent for the dissemination of a practical living truth, the tru th of spiritual, mental and physical health.

The language used in the Magazine will at all times be plain.Its aim is to make us realize the folly of some of the views of this generation in m atters of mental, physical, and social health. Its voice will be raised against any condition seeming to be wrong,

ATMOS never against the w rong-doer. I ts duty is not to tear down, 'bu t to build or rem odel. It will call attention to the ideal life, but will not lose sight of the real facts as they exist.W hile possibly compelled to be out of harmony with some other views, it will never play its own tune to the drowning of o thers. I ts key-note will be the whole scale of music, expressed in B (be) natural.Remember you have the righ t to help others, by sharing with them the good th ings you will read in this magazine. L et it be your pleasure to do so.Show your willingness to fu rther a good work by helping it along.
