The Cause of Life and Motion 43 



The element of light from the sun does not 

 pass through space in the form of light. When 

 it reaches the atmosphere however, it forms light 

 crystals which are probably made up in part, of 

 certain elements of the atmosphere. In other 

 words, the forces from the earth and those from 

 the sun reciprocate and form light crystals as high 

 above the earth as there are suitable materials 

 for their formation. The same may be said o f 

 heat. 



Animal Life. 



Animal life begins when certain crystals be- 

 come so grouped, that the atoms of which they 

 are composed may by means of the forces, form 

 several complete circuits throughout the group. 

 Life possibly may exist without mind, but a 

 mind becomes necessary when an animal has to 

 seek its food. There is a part in most if not in 

 all animals, where the circuits from the various 

 organs interchange one with another by which 

 new crystals are formed at such part and thrown 

 off and returned to the part. These reciprocat- 

 ing crystals form an atmosphere about an animal 

 which is the resultant, so to speak, of the animal's 

 whole organization. It may be called mind, in- 

 stinct or anything else, but it simply stands for 

 what the animal is worth. It is the animal's
