CHAPTER XIV 



JACOB'S LADDER IS THE ELECTRIC PATHWAY BETWEEN 

 SUNS AND PLANETS 



I CONTEND in my previous books that electricity 

 and not gravity is the one fundamental form of 

 energy from which all other forms, such as light, heat, 

 vital force, physical life and so-called gravitation 

 are derived by transformation. That electric en- 

 ergy is the one evolving creative force in the physi- 

 cal universe, back of which is the directing, intelli- 

 gent, spiritual power of Deity, who has made all 

 visible things of one matter the invisible atom, 

 controlled by one invisible power, electricity, after 

 one unchanging pattern the electro-magnet. 



This necessarily teaches that the sun is not hot, 

 that all heat, light and vital force is produced by 

 the contact of positive and negative electricity in 

 the dense atmospheric cushion of suns and planets, 

 where alone it is needed for vegetable and animal 

 life. All of which is produced by the positive elec- 

 tric currents of the sun coming in contact with 

 the negative electricity of the planets, just as two 

 wires oppositely electrified and brought together 

 produce the arc and incandescent electric light. 



I contend that the suns are the self-luminous, per- 

 fected worlds of the universe; worlds like our world, 

 only larger and more prolific in life and power 

 than the planetary worlds. That they are the head-
