Questions by C. Carter Blake | Editor’s Note by H.P.B.
. . . I therefore respectfully ask the Editor of Lucifer:—
I. What evidence is there of the existence of the Third Eye, other than in Ichthyopterygia, Sauropterygia, Anomodontia, Labyrinthodontia, but among existing forms?
II. Outside the Lacertilia described by Mr. Spencer, is there any other living animal which shows the “Third Eye”?
Editor’s Note [H.P.B.]:
As three-eyed men are no longer extant, what evidence can be expected other than of a circumstantial character? What evidence is there, we may ask in our turn, that men were once upon a time apes with tails, or men with tails, except that of Haeckelian and Darwinian inferences based on the fact that the human spine ends with what seems the stumped root of a tail. The one inference is as good and as scientific as the other.
