Introduction

Matter in motion and ether under strain constitute the fundamental principles
with which we have to do in physics. These are both vibratory activities.
We speak of them as if there were two principles; there is, however, but one
principle with a dual manifestation: it is cause and effect. Matter in motion puts
ether under strain, ether under strain puts matter into motion.
All phenomena in the Universe are the result of the operation of this basic
principle. Let us check up on those with which we are most familiar.
Power
Force, all power, energycall it what you willresolves itself into two divisions: kinetic and potential. Kinetic is actual power and is invariably associated
with motion. There can be no motion without something to move. Kinetic power
is, therefore, matter is motion. Potential power is power at rest, reserve power,
power distributed through all space, or ether under strain.
All force, all power, all energy is then a vibratory activity.
Light
The Earth is one of the major bodies of our solar system. As it pushes its way
around the Sun with the speed of a cannon ball, it puts the ether under strain,
and in doing so causes the atmosphere which consists of atoms of hydrogen and
nitrogen to become incandescent; we thus have the phenomena of light.
Light is then a vibratory activity.
Heat
But the Earth not only moves through space which is filled with ether with the
speed of a cannon ball, but it rotates upon its axis at the rate of two thousand
miles an hour at its greatest circumference, with a gradually decreasing rate of

motion until we reach the poles, where there is little or no motion.

This revolution of the Earth constitutes matter in motion as a cause and ether
under strain as an effect; but this time the result is heat, the greatest amount of
heat being found at the equator where strain upon the ether is greatest, with
continually diminishing amount of heat until we reach the poles where there is
no motion and consequently no heat.
Heat, then, is a vibratory activity.
Sound
Sound is the sensation produced as a result of matter in motion, which results
in ether under strain. A word spoken in any part of the world changes the relative positions of the atoms of which the atmosphere is composed. This change is
registered in the ether, which is so inconceivably subtle and vibrant, that every
tone, every letter, every syllable is transmitted to every part of the world, and
possibly to any other world; for this reason a man may make an address or sing a
song in New York and millions of persons may sit in their own homes and listen
to every word.
The sound is originally caused by matter in motion, but it is carried upon the
wings of the ether, the most volatile and active substance of which we can have
any conception.
Sound is then a vibratory activity.
Color
Color is the result of the vibratory activity of atoms of matter or matter in motion. As the frequency increases, the vibrations become shorter and more rapid,
the color changes, each change in color being due to a change in the rate of
vibration.
Mind
Consciousness is the inner and thought the outward expression of Mind. Every human being and most animals have innumerable aerials, all reaching out
into space ready to contact every thought, every inspiration, every indication of

danger that their immediate environment may contain. These minute aerials or
hairs, one of which is attached to every pore of the body, are stirred into activity
by the vibrations from the Sun. When the Sun sinks behind the horizon, they,
like the Arabs, Fold their tents and silently steal away. We are then no longer
conscious, we go to sleep. Consciousness then is a vibratory activity and is due
to the vibrations which reach us from the Sun.
All space is the store room of energy, which emanates from the Sun, and consciousness is caused by the contact of the human brain with the electro-magnetic vibrations of which the luminiferous ether is composed and which have their
source in the Sun. Each of the planets is passing through this electro-magnetic
field of force, forming an electro-magnetic field of its own.
These vibrations are being constantly impressed upon the ether and are received by each individual in accordance with his ability to receive, for the brain
is a receiving instrument and must be in tune with the vibration, otherwise, it
does not register.
Mind or consciousness is then a vibratory activity.
Life
The personal constituents of a mob might be exactly the same as those of an
army, the difference is that one is organized and one is not. A single atom is not
material, it is simply a definite amount of energy, and by itself would be absolutely immaterial, but when these atoms are combined and organized, they assume the characteristics of the whole, of which they are a part. A part cannot be
equal to the whole. On the other hand, the whole cannot be greater than all of
its parts collectively and organically. Each part is as essential to the whole as the
whole is to the part.
If, then, an organism is conscious and intelligent, the atoms of which that organism is composed must be conscious and intelligent, just as a single soldier
might have a very small amount of power, but if combined with a hundred thousand other similar soldiers and thoroughly drilled and organized, a very considerable amount of power would be developed.
The atom, of which all organic or inorganic substance is created, is immaterial, conscious, and intelligent. The degree of consciousness and intelligence

that is manifested in an organic body will then depend upon whether the mob
spirit or the spirit of efficiency and service prevails.
The individual atom has no density. Density is an attribute of matter, and one
atom has no material attributes; it is only when millions of them are organized
into form that they assume material attributes.
The atom is the unit and man is an organization of these units. As Mr. Edison
says, I believe that our bodies are made up of myriads of units of life, we have
assumed that the unit is man, which we can see, and have ignored the existence
of the real life units, which are those we cannot see.
The aggregate of these life units is the ether, which embodies the ultimate
spiritual principle and represents the unity of the forces and energies from
which spring all the phenomena known to man, whether physical, mental, or
spiritual.
Such vibrations are, however, not the result of motion in one direction.
The planets, which are gigantic dynamos, not only push their way through the
ether at an incredible speed, but they revolve upon their axis and thus twist the
ether into spiral form, the lines of force which reach us from the various planets
consist therefore of vibrations in spiral form.
When these lines of force are crossed by a second or a third planet, the electrons necessarily revolve around each other, and the first step in organization
takes place. The electron is then no longer a point mass, but a mass having an
axis of rotation, an arc orbit. The rapidity of motion, the size and shape of electrons involved, determine the nature of the atom which is eventually evolved.
As long as the electrons continue to move indefinitely, they remain electrons.
But when they are grouped in a definite system, revolving about a central nucleus like a miniature solar system, they then constitute an atom of matter.
These units, aggregated into different systems, form the elements. From the
elements, in more complex combination, the chemical substances are made. The
inorganic substances are relatively simple combinations of bases and acids. The
organic substances are more complexly compounded, and these substances, or
some of them when arranged in a mechanism called a cell, are capable of certain
processes: assimilation, excretion, growth, sensation, reproduction.

When an organism works in a self-sustaining system, we say that it is alive.

Form
Form is the result of the concentration of matter, and the concentration of
matter implies the dissipation of motion. Wherever there is an aggregation of
matter, there must be an equal absorption of motion.
Involution and evolution alternate indefinitely. Both processes are going on
every instant, the ebb and flow of the forces of nature are ceaseless.
All form, organic or inorganic, is the result of the combination of Earth, Air,
Fire, and Water, and each of these in turn are derived directly or indirectly from
the Sun. Without the energizing rays from the Sun, there could be no possible
motion.
The Solar fluid is the Ether, which holds in the solution every possible form
of matter. This ether in a state of high vibration is the breath of life, in its lower
vibration it is inorganic form, or matter.
All form is then a vibratory activity.
