36 THE UNIVERSE 



of attracting and repelling currents of magnetism 

 that are as fixed in their lines of force and order of 

 work as the rocks at the foundations of the moun- 

 tains. In fact, all that is strong and abiding in 

 matter rests upon these currents of energy, and all 

 of life is dependent upon the constancy and per- 

 petually pulsating flow of the unseen electrical poten- 

 cies of creation. Life is a universal unity, as light, 

 heat, electricity and polarization, which evolve it, 

 are unities. The order of ascending life organism 

 is from the simple to the complex ; from the lowest 

 plane of rock formation the series is upward; from 

 the lowest form of vegetable life it is up to the high- 

 est, and in the animal life upward till the crowning 

 work is reached in the thinking animal we call man, 

 who is more than a thinking animal. 



To each ascending form there is an endowment 

 of self-perpetuation by parentage and seed fruitage, 

 which involve the electro-magnetic condition of germ 

 life. Thus by electrical forces plants build within 

 each other and form others by elementary atoms, 

 with power of self-propagation, bridging the life- 

 gulf between silent atom and living organism as if 

 they were the material work of some spiritual builder. 



Thus by electrical forces nature builds all human 

 and animal life-forms and organisms. The primary 

 atoms of matter have their home in the electro- 

 magnetic forces and are evolved from them into 

 the material organisms of creation. When the elec- 

 tro-magnetic origin of light, heat, physical life and 

 so-called gravitation is fully accepted and their 

 dynamic energy traced to its potential body, we 

 have reached the strength of primary forces and 

 the unending circle of electrical potencies.
