A VAST ELECTRIC ORGANISM 21 



the spiritual and intellectual center as well as the 

 physical and electric center of our system of worlds, 

 the headquarters of Deity and the future abode of 

 man. No life could come from a hot or burning 

 sun or world, yet all animal and vegetable life 

 comes from the all life-giving energy of the sun. 

 Heat is not life-giving, it is not even a substance 

 or a force. Heat does not exist except as a sensa- 

 tion created by the increased activity of the mole- 

 cules of which the body is composed. This increased 

 activity is caused by currents or waves of electricity 

 passing through a body or substance. Cold is the 

 absence of heat or lack of motion of the molecules 

 of a body or substance, and, like heat, is not a 

 reality, a substance or a thing, but only a sensation. 

 Heat and cold are produced by electricity, and are 

 sensations resulting from electrical conditions. Heat 

 is not a creator ; electricity is the creator and heat 

 is its servant, and only one of its thousand-fold 

 expressions. Electricity creates the activity of the 

 molecules which gives the sensation of heat. A per- 

 son standing in the sun on a hot day receives cur- 

 rents of electricity which were not hot when they 

 left the sun, but only became so when they came 

 in contact with the earth's opposite electricity near 

 the earth's surface. These currents produce the 

 sensation of heat. The sun is not a burning globe, 

 or blazing world of fire; it is an enormous magnet 

 of measureless power, thirteen hundred thousand 

 times larger than the earth magnet on which we 

 live. It revolves on its enormous axis at the rate 

 of four thousand miles an hour and is thus con- 

 stituted a working magnet or arc dynamo, drawing 

 electric energy from its vast electric field, embracing
