Now I see two visions—two houses in the precinct of nature—the first a structure of spirit for the abode of space or nothing; second, a structure of space for the abode of spirit, the all, the great, the powerful, and the conscious; the first, a minute affair, an atom; the second, a collocation of atoms forming a shell or larger structure for the abode of spirit, and this is formed by a heated or mobile, molecule conforming substance, suddenly cooled by oxygen or a cold temperature, when a shell is formed and indurated, and a hollow center made.
7. Symbol of the White Spark.
I introduce a new symbol ° the emblem which will represent the white spark, the circle or hollow globe, for this is what the white spark is, and this spark prevails throughout the universe. It is a hollow molecule, holding an air-tight reservoir, excluding everything but spirit or the ether.
8. The Spark is a Receptacle of Mind and a Potential of Force.
The white spark is alive. It has a shell formed of rotating atoms which roll in the spirit or magnetic lines of force. The lines converge to a common center. Here they must halt for an instant. Force cannot be lost, so it is transmuted into consciousness. This mind can now radiate lines of force from the center out again.
9. Mathematics of the Spark.
If you take a silver dime and lay it on the table you will find that it always takes just six dimes to form a ring around it. This leaves six spaces between the dimes, and it is the same with atoms, and a molecule seen from the side if radio-active, and if we could see the lines of force, would show six streams of force, and the snow-flake always has six points.
10. Crumbling Sparks and Permanent Sparks.
The sparks of combustion explode from the inner force, but the "sparks" of a magnet and radium do not, and the sparks formed in protoplasm or in the nerves and brain last longer than the sparks of combustion, and the sparks in the spiritual bodies of departed souls are like radium.
