DIVINE LOVE AND WISDOM. 193 



taken up and re-deposited in higher and more complex masses 

 or tissues, or excreted entirely from the system, according to 

 the fifth law the law of segregation the same being also ap- 

 plicable, in different degrees, to each creation ; then by mu- 

 tual impartations of essences and forces between these masses 

 or tissues, as necessary parts or organs of the system, a sixth 

 law is developed the law of universal sympathy and har- 

 monial reciprocation. Finally, all these laws and operations, 

 harmoniously combined, give occasion to the normal manifes- 

 tation of the seventh and highest law the law governing the 

 functions of the complex unity, and in which the principles of 

 Love and Wisdom, Heat and Light, Expansion and Attrac- 

 tion, with all their modifications and subordinates, are em- 

 braced in unitary form. 



As these Expansive and Attractive operations are de- 

 pendent upon physical Heat and Light, and these are ulti- 

 mately dependent for their generation upon spiritual Heat 

 and Light, which are conditions of Divine Love and Wisdom, 

 so it follows that Divine Love and Wisdom pervade nature 

 co-extensively with Expansive and Attractive forces, and are 

 the fundamental and essential constituents of the life-principle 

 which inheres in every form of being. Things live, therefore, 

 only in proportion to the degree in which they are recipients 

 of the essences and forms of Divine Love and Wisdom ; and 

 without these, all things would be dead.
