LAW OF CIRCULATION. 



electricities are mutually attracted. As all gravitating parti- 

 cles can not go absolutely to the center (some being crowded 

 out by others), and all emanated particles can not, for a similar 

 reason, recede to the circumference, so each finds an equilib- 

 rium, and takes a position, between center and circumference, 

 according to its specific density or levity. And now, a similar 

 process of digestion necessarily go3s on among gravitating 

 and emanating particles which find their common equilibrium 

 at any given distance from the center, and by their mutual 

 action and reaction, another change and excretion takes place, 

 and the rejected particles, being in a state exactly opposite to 

 that of the particles thrown off from the great Center, now 

 gravitate again toward that Center, there to experience and 

 produce still further changes. Thus there is a constant action 

 and reaction, flux and reflux, between center and circumfer- 

 ence, and between all intermediate parts of the great mass ; 

 and the law governing this reciprocating movement is what we 

 mean by the law of Circulation. It corresponds to circulation, 

 or to the flux and reflux of venous and arterial blood to and 

 from the heart in the little universe, or the human system, 

 even as the laws of Expansion and Attraction (or contraction), 

 before considered, correspond respectively to the diastolic and 

 systolic motions of the heart, Jungs, and perhaps the minute 

 vesicles, or " corcula," of the brain. Being the third law of 

 the universe, it corresponds to the third element of the Divine 

 essential Constitution, which is the Divine Sphere of operative 

 Energy, which, again, corresponds to the nerve-essence in man, 

 and which latter corresponds to Electricity in the universe 

 this being actually the agent mainly concerned in the pro- 

 duction of the phenomenon now under special consideration. 



The laws of Expansion, Contraction, and Circulation, there- 

 fore, form a trinity, as dependent upon the triune elements
