Color vibrations denote the passions. Yellow the lymphatic, red the positive and aggressive, blue the nervous temperament. Purple or violet are intense vibrations which usually are self-destructive, overthrowing the reason and producing insanity. These color-vibrations are in turn susceptible to inhibition and control by musical vibrations of a much lower tempo than those of color; musical vibrations attaining to only thirty-two thousand (32,000) per second at their highest tempo, while the color vibrations known as violet reach twelve million (12,000,000) to the second. Is it the SONOROSITY of musical tones that equalizes the vibrations of color and music?
The vibrations of the tones of a violin have been known to heal the most obstinate wounds, and even surgical operations have been performed under the influence of musical vibrations. So potent is this force that the musical step of the military march has to be broken when crossing a bridge lest it collapse. The walls of Jericho are said to have collapsed under the vibrations produced by blowing upon rams’ horns in the hands of the Israelites. Windows have been broken by the vibratory tones of an organ.
The varying forms of so-called matter are but varying rates of vibration, ready to be acted upon and dissolved by other rates. The same force that tears down builds up. Death is only another rate of vibration set up by this Eternal Life. Post-mortem consciousness is unscientific and ridiculous. Organic life gives off electrons, that unite and form a new organism, and the resulting embryo is of like organism, perpetuating its kind from generation to generation. As this is continuous and never ceasing, it must be what is meant by Immortality.
CHAPTER V
The Sun
Its Relation to Planetary Life. What is Radiant Energy? Why the Ancients Worshipped the Sun. The Parsees the Present Sun Worshippers.
It is supposed to be a figure of speech, a mere bit of symbolism to call the sun masculine and the earth feminine. To call the earth a woman. To state that woman was made from man, etc. But when it is understood that sex is nothing but polarity, that male and female, masculine and feminine and positive and negative are synonymous terms, we begin to understand the truly scientific nature of these expressions. They are purely electrical terms. This sex or polarity is universal. The Macrocosm and the Microcosm are the same. The Universe is not a Di-verse. Individuality is not di-viduality. Every organism in the universe is thoroughly bi-polar or bi-sexual, manifesting the eternal nature of its ultimate component electrons.
The writer once saw hundreds of children under a common impulse come swarming, dancing, from every quarter of a great city to a common meeting place. As they rushed together en masse their individual movements continued until out of the marching and counter-marching, the shifting, changing, rearranging, re-adjusting there was evolved before his eyes the flag of this nation with its glorious stripes and stars composed of human boys and girls.
We have stated that ether, air, fire, water, earth, are but masses of infinitesimally small particles—called electrons—of the one primeval, universal substance, living their life of attraction and repulsion, embrace and separation, forever whirling in their eternal “Maypole dance.” Rushing together in a mad embrace, then darting away to seek some other partner. Weaving in and out, in and out, around about, back and forth, to and fro. This dance is called Creation—Evolution. It is an eternal Brocken—an eternal Nachtspiel.
