Max, 
Great question lol! Another enigma of Theosophy strikes once again! Bellinger it seems is being quotes or referenced in regards to "The Phlogistan Theory" now diescredited by modern progress in Physics, but once proposed that there was a invisible primal substance that remained after being burnt to ash. I have read this idea in Hindu philosophical theory. The mahatma letter gives reference to "The Theosophist" of September 1881-1882 but I did not see any article by Bellinger cited in there. This looks like another rabbit hole to jump into a black abyss, for all we know bellinger is some one's middle name lol!

Hello everyone, 

K.H. writes in his famous letter # 10 (emphasis added): 

"In other words we believe in MATTER alone, in matter as visible nature 
and matter in its invisibility as the invisible omnipresent omnipotent 
Proteus with its unceasing motion which is its life, and which nature 
draws from herself since she is the great whole outside of which nothing 
can exist. For as Bellinger truly asserts "motion is a manner of 
existence that flows necessarily out of the essence of matter; that 
matter moves by its own peculiar energies; that its motion is due to the 
force which is inherent in itself; that the variety of motion and the 
phenomena that result proceed from the diversity of the properties of 
the qualities and of the combinations which are originally found in the 
primitive matter" of which nature is the assemblage and of which your 
science knows less than one of our Tibetan Yak-drivers of Kant's 
metaphysics." 

Does anyone know who this Bellinger was? 

Thanks, 

Max
