108 DYNAMIC AGENTS. 



through their " odic " spheres, and as was illustrated by ex- 

 periments before related. And as the Deity, moreover, is a 

 personal and intelligent Being, he may through this medium 

 act, not only spontaneously, but volitionally and directly, upon 

 the universe, or upon either of its corresponding sub-creations, 

 and control it to any extent which may comport with the 

 integrity of his general plan. 



But we come now to another point : As each previous stage 

 of creation, with its peculiar law of developments, from the 

 first to the sixth, was thus accompanied with, or related to, a 

 corresponding dynamic agent, the same fact may be supposed 

 to hold with reference to the seventh stage, which, in the cos- 

 mical creation, as before shown, consisted in the development 

 of habitable worlcls. And as this is the final development of 

 the seven-fold cosmical series and brings the physical struc- 

 ture of the universe as such, to a completeness so we may 

 suppose that the dynamic principle related to this develop- 

 ment, is also the ultimate and completion of its series. And 

 being the last of a series in which there is observed a progres- 

 sive refinement from the first, at least to the sixth, it may be 

 supposed to unite in itself the principles of all the others in a 

 still superior degree of refinement. 



But we have seen that the series of universal cosmical de- 

 velopments included in what we have called the great King- 

 dom of Materiality, must have been based upon, and have 

 sprung from, an antecedent, unoriginated, and infinite Kingdom 

 of Spirituality, which we call GOD. If this same Principle, 

 like the vital elements of the germ of a tree, lies at the basis, 

 and is reproduced at the completion, of the unfolding, then 

 this seventh dynamic principle, concerning which we are now 

 inquiring, can be nothing less than a degree of the seven-fold 

 elements of the originally generative Divine Spirit, now em-
