68 THE UNIVERSE 



light of the sun the great electric heart of our 

 system of worlds shone upon the earth, there was a 

 new realm of infinite life and expression to lift the 

 world and all organic life to a higher state of per- 

 fection. 



While the world, like an enormous battery, had in 

 itself enough energy to hold the planet in its spher- 

 ical form and to stimulate to activity the secondary 

 forms of life, had not the sun come into more vigor- 

 ous activity with its electric life-giving energy the 

 earth could not have gone above the primitive 

 forms of life. With this greater influx of power from 

 another sphere of causative energy, the dark age of 

 animality passed and the monstrous types faded 

 out, and in the place of them the world began to 

 bear a class of beings that could reflect the power 

 and principles of light and beauty. And under the 

 pulsations of the sun's electrical and magnetic en- 

 ergy the earth started on its marvelous career of 

 organic growth and development. 



The sun, as an immense electrical reservoir battery, 

 must radiate in all directions its electric vibratory 

 power over the surging elements in its own environ- 

 ment and from thence through electric atomic trans- 

 fer to bodies in space. So that whenever a body was 

 in direct line with the magnetic centers of the sun, 

 the arrest of the electric current and atomic motion 

 coming from the sun's center by another magnetic 

 center, as the earth or any other planet, would in- 

 stantly change the rate of the environment of the 

 planet magnet to a grade of intensity that would 

 give light and heat. In this manner light, heat and 

 greater vital force was born upon the earth, when 

 its dark clouds lifted and its atmosphere became
