ment of the complex system in its mature form, was to arise. 

 Materials in the primitive and lowest degree of refinement, 

 draw together according to rudimental affinities, at the same 

 time evolving their uncondensible elements, and thus form 

 vast and indefinite nebulous aggregation, with their circum- 

 ambient ether. Further evolutions and condensations, and 

 consequent refinements, form, successively, firmaments, suns, 

 planets, mineral aggregations, plants, animals, and finally the 

 bodies of human beings all of which, from first to last, have 

 directly or indirectly collected and selected their materials 

 from the great mass of all materials, even as the nodules of 

 flint, before spoken of as embodied in the strata of chalk, have 

 collected their component silicious particles from the mass of 

 surrounding materials in which they must have been originally 

 diffused ! 



The fact that, in the process of all formations, there is an 

 expansion and evolution of uncondensible elements from the 

 centers of their chaotic materials, as well as a clustering 

 around central nuclei, of those particles capable of constitut- 

 ing the tangible structure with its various parts, more fully 

 illustrates the doctrine heretofore advanced, that all forms 

 and organisms, from stellar assemblages, individual suns, and 

 planets, to crystals, vegetables, animals, and human beings, 

 are surrounded by an aromal counterpart or "sphere." It 

 will be borne in mind, that it is by the inter-action of these 

 aromal counter parts, or spheres of different forms and organ- 

 isms (and which are always expressive of the specific interior 

 qualities of the latter), that these forms and organisms are 

 brought into what may be called " magnetic sympathy " with 

 each other ; and it is by the combined aromal spheres of all 

 organisms, forms, and systems, that the great inter-active 

 nerve-aura of the universe, as ont Body, is made up.
