of radiation and transformation. The absolute cogitation of all 

 mental images in their generality and Absolute Wisdom re 

 flects a general image a radiation, wrought by one general ray 

 of Intellectual Light, as a photographic image of the Absolute 

 Intellectuality, which is the Universal Essence in its potentiality. 

 Bui since all mental images in their generality are cognizable 

 also as separated one in the other, the general force of radiation, 

 therefore, becomes also a force of transformation, which is the 

 general activity of the Universal Essence in its manifestation, 

 as it merges out of its potential general existence into particul 

 arized beings, in concrete form to become manifested in actuality 

 as single images issuing forth one from the other and one after the 

 other in the order of creation, according to the laws of Intel 

 lectuality as they are known one in the other in the Absolute Intel 

 lectuality. 



yth. By Matter and Force I understand all the objects in their 

 appearances in actuality before us as single images in their con 

 crete form, although there is no such thing as a &quot;primitive 

 matter&quot; in the universe, which nature moulds and fashions into 

 various objects, as clay moulded in the hands of the potter; but

 icles, called atoms in their original isolated state, which are 

 coming and going in the absolute Universal Essence as the 

 exceedingly small sparks we see coming and going in a ray of 

 sunlight, in all eternity. 



8th. By Atoms I understand those small particles as the 

 beginners of matter by their grouping in different aggregations, 

 which they are by themselves equally in quantity and in quality 

 and in their distance from each other in their first formation, 

 distinguised from the mechanical atoms which are recognized 

 by the chemists as elementary bodies with different quantities 

 and qualities. 



9th. By Molecules I understand a group of atoms in their 

 first combination as a compound object; those mechanical atoms 

 which appear before our scientists as &quot;elements&quot; or as &quot;prim 

 itive matter.&quot; 



roth. By Stimulation I understand the excitement of the 

 Universal Essence in its general activity. As the general force of
