IDENTICAL CHANGES 



vested with a mysterious and often with an occult 

 individuality. 



And often we ascribe to an identical manifesta- 

 tion of force, like electricity, a nature apart from 

 Mother Nature, and in the name of electricity think 

 ourselves able to move Mountains, or manufacture 

 identical life. 



Whenever we fail to see the connection between 

 an identical act of force and the whole universal 

 force, there is surely not an upsetting of universal 

 truth, but merely an example of our ignorance. 



But the Frog that kicks the water with his hind 

 legs, shall he not exert his influence upon the Morn- 

 ing Star? 



Even as the Star, the Frog is surrounded by the 

 infinite Congregation of Primary Spheres, each one 

 of whom is in direct communication with every 

 other Primary Sphere, and not one of which can 

 move until a new space is provided for it. Then 

 is every action of force at last resolved into a move- 

 ment of Primary Spheres. And the question of 

 intensity and duration, or distance of movement, is 

 not a question of the speed and strength of force. 

 But the real question is, "How many identities 

 shall participate in the movement; how far shall 

 this row of Primary Spheres go this way, and how 

 far the other row in yonder direction, before some 

 change in some living identity shall produce a con- 

 trary movement ? ' ' Force is infinite in extent. No- 

 where in the Universe can there be a place where 

 force is not. And material, likewise, is everywhere
