interacting principles, for whatever is produced by their interaction can be neither a simple reproduction of the Active principle alone nor of the Passive alone, but must be an intermingling of the two, combining in itself the nature of both, and thus possessing an independent nature of its own, which is not exactly that of either of the originating principles.

Other and very important deductions again follow from this one, but they cannot be adequately entered upon in an introductory book like the present; still, enough has now been said to show that the Name "Jehovah" contains in itself the Three Fundamental Principle of the Universe --- the Unity, the Duality, and the Trinity --- and by their inclusion in a single word affirms that no contradiction exists between them, but that they are all necessary phases of the Universal Truth, which is only ONE.

The "Lost Word"

Much search has been made by many for what the Cabalists call "the Lost Word", that "Word of Power" the possession of which makes all things possible to him who discovers it. Great students of bygone days devoted their lives to this search, such as Reuchlin [1455 --- 1522, German humanist, political counselor and classics scholar whose defense of Hebrew literature helped awaken liberal intellectual forces in the years immediately preceding the Reformation --- Ed.] in Germany and Pico della Miranda [1463 --- 1494, Italian scholar and Platonist philosopher whose "Oration on the Dignity of Man", a characteristic Renaissance work composed in 1486, reflected his syncretistic method of taking the best elements from other philosophies and combining them in his own work. --- Ed.] in Italy and, so far as the outside world judges, without any result; while later centuries discredited their studies by comparison with the practical nature of the Bacon ian philosophy, not wonting [knowing --- Ed.] that Bacon [Sir Francis Bacon, 1561-1626, Lord Chancellor of England (1618–21). A lawyer, statesman, philosopher, and master of the English tongue, he is remembered in literary terms for the sharp worldly wisdom of a few dozen essays; by students of constitutional history for his power as a speaker in Parliament and in famous trials and as James I's lord chancellor; and intellectually as a man who claimed all knowledge as his province and, after a magisterial survey, urgently advocated new ways by which man might establish a legitimate command over nature for the relief of his estate --- Encyclopedia Britannica]
