CHAPTER I
Life
Cosmic Evolution. Life Germs—How Produced. “The Word”—Evolution of. Thought Vibration the Only Immortality. “Life” and “Death” Evolved from the Same Cosmic Substance.
“But words are things, and a small drop of ink falling like dew upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.”—Byron.
Electricity is the one, eternal, unchangeable, indestructible, universal substance.
The universe is made up of innumerable “corpuscles,” from whose manifold combinations, ruled by unalterable affinities, has been evolved our solar system.
Our earth after the cooling process, became through the light and radiant energy of the sun, the theater of the evolution of the various forms of life. The eternal, inherent, restless energy that had formed and launched into existence this solar system continued its work to evolve conscious life on this earth. Monad, atom, protoplasm, molecule and cell all being produced by this electric energy we call life.
This universal substance is constituted of electrons—infinitesimally smaller than atomic dust—each electron having the potentiality of the whole, with its positive and negative impulse.
It is well known that each molecule is a separate and distinct organism, formed by this same electric impulse. The active force in evolution being the electric energy—attraction and repulsion—its movements can be easily followed by noting the similarity of its formation, namely, circular or spherical. The tendency of this electric energy is always to form a complete circuit—and must do so in order to evolve and carry on its work of evolution; all creation being the result of the breaking and closing of the circuit. The various forms of life evolved, are subject to this same restless impulse—positive and negative—which continues the work of creation or evolution.
As what is called “life” is the result of the closing of the circuit, so what is called “death” is the result of the breaking of the circuit. Thus we see that life and death are one and the same process. Simply the readjustment, rearrangement of these infinite electrons by the opening and closing of the electric circuit. The same eternal, inherent, restless energy forever at play—creating life, and creating death—both equally beautiful. This is the continuous evolution of Darwin and others. There is no rest. There is only eternal continuous vibration. Prof. Loeb says, “The force that makes life possible is primarily the electric charge.” Dr. Samuel Wallian says, “Life originates in vibration and consists of an incessant repetition of vibrations.” It can with equal truth be said that THE FORCE THAT MAKES DEATH POSSIBLE IS PRIMARILY THE ELECTRIC CHARGE; AND DEATH ORIGINATES IN VIBRATION, AND CONSISTS OF AN INCESSANT REPETITION OF VIBRATIONS—or opening and closing of an electric circuit. These are the only Two IMMORTALS—Life and Death.
