AUTHOR'S NOTE.

The present few pages may be said, perhaps, to contain the essence of a vast accumulation of material, gathered in the course of years. But, being fully aware of his imperfections and inexperience as a writer, it is distinctly with a feeling of reluctancy that the author finally ventures to offer this little volume to the public.

He also feels, however, that the esteemed reader will exercise leniency when and wherever it may be obviously needed; for the theme itself is great, the greatest of all. In it the heart of man has throbbed for ages; in it the pulse of all humanity beats fast in deep anticipation to-day. After this life, what shall we know?

The material consists of numerous notes, etc., with accounts of scientific experiment investigations in the various branches of science, religion and philosophy, social economy, etc. and it will be readily understood that in a space sa limited, only little attention could be given to details.

The "trinity principle" observed to be fundamentally involved, not only in the creative methods of the invisible electrons, which clears the way straight to conscious immortality, but also in all the economic affairs of mankind, showing a strong connecting chain of indisputable facts between the visible and the invisible world, is dealt with, in large outlines, in Part II. At first, because of brevity, it may impress the reader as a proposition, perhaps more suggestive than operative; but on second reflection, it is believed, the earnest mind will admit that from the underlying truth, there is no escape; that a great economic factor has as such been sadly neglected; that for the good of the whole world it should be promply tested, and if found practical, receive full recognition. TTiere is outHned an organization which should deeply interest all classes of society. Concerning the references made to Christ, His great promise of transfiguration and His wonderful words; concerning the experimental station, the results alluded to in connection therewith, will prove a subject of vast interest to many.

Chapter I

Towering above all other questions, as do the snowclad mountain peaks above the clouds, stands forth the one eternal question of the ages, is there a life beyond the grave?

Religion has answered the question by way of faith.

Philosophy by way of reason.

But we believe it has been left for religion, philosophy and modern science combined to answer by way of proof — so far as proof can possibly be obtained.

We are, therefore, obliged to delve a trifle into that which may to many at first seem tedious and useless, perhaps ridiculous, but which we shall try, nevertheless, to show must be, and is, at the bottom of all things, and then in a measure, follow up si&p by step the construction of the immortal human soul. We must go beyond the particle of matter, beyond the molecule, even for the moment pass by the atom, and start with that which is proven to exist in the world of the deep yet in which we actually live — in the world of electrons.

In order to dimly convey to the human mind even the remotest conception of an idea as to the size of an electron, many comparisons have been made. Thus it has been stated that while an atom, for example, is so small that millions of them are contained in so tiny a body as a grain of sand, such an atom, nevertheless, contains hundreds, nay thousands, of electrons. Investigators of scientific standing have not hesitated to announce that more than thirteen bilHons of electrons, side by side, would be required to form a line only one inch in length, etc.

In the light of such startling figures and assertions, a person may well be permitted to ask, how can one know that an electron exists at all?

But here stands modern, dignified science and declares it does exist. Master mathematicians have demonstrated beyond a doubt that the atom can no longer be considered the basic unit of matter, and that the discovery of radium and the study of radio-activity in general have revealed the truth and fixed forever the electron as the ultimate basis not only of matter but of the entire universe. And to know, instead of merely believing, that the electron does exist, is of the greatest importance to the world.

What is an electron?

Of what does it consist?

Whence did it come?

What is its origin?

Is it active?

What are its functions, its methods, its destiny?

These and many other questions concerning the real nature of the electron have been asked again and again, but the answers have not come; so here the humble writer submits a few suggestions and some of his strongest convictions.

In this connection, we will try, for the moment, to free our minds first of all from the usual terms of ''matter," "force," etc., and all the other names and expressions that imply the same thing, and which may sound more or less important but explain in reality little.

Sink yourself, therefore, if you can, friendly reader, into the infinite littleness of the electron and realize in it the basis of all things in the universe; realize in it the minutest part of the omnipresent, omnipotent wisdom in which all creation is eternally rooted, for an electron is everlasting, had no beginning, can have no end. In its inscrutible littleness, it becomes almost as incomprehensible as infinite space. It can never be injured, cannot be touched; by no method imaginable could it ever perish. In duration, omnipresence, in power and wisdom, it is absolutely indestructible.

Beyond the realm of the primeval electron, there are no other existences. Hence, strange as it may sound, there can be no such a medium as the supposed ether for the electrons in which to float and vibrate; the phenomena of light, as we shall see later on, does not necessarily justify its existence. And the undulatory theory of light will probably sooner or later be, in a measure, found faulty, and must therefore be abandoned, at least to an extent.

The eternal majesty of the electronic universe prevails, of necessity, by reason of endless collectiveness, most intense association and perfect methods of co-operation.

A single electron is to be considered only as a cosmic unit of potentiality, a unit that is responsive to, and in complete harmony with, the absolutely infinite.

The primeval electron consists, therefore, of neither matter nor force, ordinarily speaking, but has existence by virtue of all the qualities attributed to life and Deity: consciousness, desire, intelligence, wisdom, etc.

It is divine quality divinely convertible into quantity — matter.

Singly, the electron is, therefore, the alpha of all things. Collectively, in all-absorbing co-operation.

they constitute the omega and crystallization of all things.

Before a particle of matter was created, the infinite electronic universe lived. To create matter was the first function in time. Matter was created by electrons forming themselves into atoms, the latter into molecules, altogether by intelligent co-operative methods, and thus both nebula and solid substance were evolved from out of the boundless electronic universe.

As nebula gradually contracted, solid matter apf)eared and is constantly being formed.

Ancient and modem philosophy have attributed great importance to the fact that geometry is traceable in inorganic matter.

But when it is considered that the most rudimentary movement of electrons, in the nature of things, must be geometrical in character; and when it is remembered that fundamental electronic effort was to create inorganic matter, it follows that geometry must indeed be clearly traceable in matter. Could it be otherwise?

The construction of matter was chiefly for a purpose widely different from what is usually assumed to be the case.

It is generally believed that material worlds, such as our planet and others, were made by a generous Creator for His creatures to live in, and that were it not for physical life, there could be no legitimate purpose for their existence.

Man, however, was not always what he is now. Nor will he remain in his present form. Nothing in the universe, physical or spiritual, is exempt from perpetual changes. This process we also call evolution.

There will, consequently, come a time when the human type of life will look vastly different from its present form.

Henri Bergson, in his great work "Creative Evolution," fittingly emphasizes this truth when he declares: **The universe endures. The more we study the nature of time, the more we shall comprehend that duration means invention, the creation of forms, the continual elaboration of the absolutely new."

What the great and apparently mysterious object is of these continual changes, and what actually causes them, are things in which we are deeply concerned. And in order that we may fathom their meaning, we shall have to abandon some old views, and adopt a few new ones.

As matter was created for an additional purpose to that of serving as abodes for physical life, the other purpose must be shown.

The specific speed of electrons must always have been the same.

Before matter existed, there was a desire throughout the electronic world for higher organization, for individualism on a higher plane where would be involved in closest association, the activity of billions of electrons in one entity. The state of organization which did exist in space still prevails and is limited to the rudimentary geometric movements of electrons, as already remarked. To facilitate electronic organization, resistance to the specific speed of the electron became necessary, and hence the formation of atoms. The atom, being a much larger and heavier body than the electron, has a far lesser specific speed, and the atomic world could offer, therefore, the requisite resistance to electronic motion.

Resistance could be established in no other way than by differentiation in the specific speeds of electrons and atoms, for nothing in the universe can be conceived as being in a state of absolute immobility.

Atoms are the cosmic building materials. Everywhere they are brought into position forming molecules for constructive purposes and are held there by electrons, which form a living cement, until at some time or other, they again depart in some form of energy.

The atom itself comprises a number of electrons holding themselves in a sort of voluntary bondage. It is being marshalled in any direction for any given purpose by the free electrons which operate as the true building masters of the universe.

In great aggregations, atoms and molecules appear as worlds or planets. A planet's momentum in space, tremendous when compared with mundane standards, is so slow compared with the original speeds of electrons and atoms that to all intent and purpose it is immobile, and every desirable degree of resistance may thus be obtained.

Though only a rudimentary state of organization in the electronic world exist, yet that invisible, intangible and apparently blank form of being, the author recognizes as the infinite, unorganized but living source of all things.

Plainly a great trinity principle in all creation unfolds itself, to which we shall later on return, as well as to the working methods of the invisible designers, and we shall understand the reason why there is certainly before us a state of conscious immortality.

The writer has already asserted that the undulatory theory of light will be found faulty, or rather inadequate, for, doubtless, there is yet to be discovered a new principle which will be found identical in character, dynamics and methods of radiation, irrespective of substance and source.

While the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta rays, etc., emanating from radium have been scientifically studied, their respective velocities fixed, and are found to consist of travelling particles actually projected from the radio-active substance, light itself will probably prove a similar, though vastly modified, mode of radiation, to a degree based upon that same principle, and at the same time upon wave motion.

The specific speed of light having been fixed — at least its mean speed — there remains an explanation to be advanced for the writer's proposition that in some one of the innumerable ray manifestations, luminous or invisible, known or yet unknown, we have in truth the primeval electron, and that all the others, including those in the entire spectrum, constitute a scale of what might properly be called combination electrons, that is, electrons consisting of more than one in each, and that the greater this combination be, the heavier the electron, and the slower its speed; that from the ultra-violet toward the in-fra-red region of the spectrum, they are mathematically increasing in weight, while decreasing in speed.

According to the undulatory theory, the spectrum phenomena is the result simply of waves in the ether, the ultra-violet ray for example, consisting of so or so many more millions of waves per second than the neighboring ray toward the other end of the spectrum, etc.

Chapter II

When science, of late years, has succeeded in producing what is referred to as artificial life, we shall here call attention to one fundamental fact of vital importance in this respect, namely, that it is now and always impossible to create artificial life. There is no such a thing. Life is, was, and will be the same forever, and although so-called inanimate substance is observed to possess amoeboid movements, it is not life in the same degree the latter manifests itself in nature. Such substances behave according to number, and possibly class, of electrons present within all matter as residuary agents left there on duty since the atoms were cemented together by electrons into concrete existence, and are moved by electronic effort towards obtaining form for their own organization purposes. To a given extent all matter is therefore alive, and absolute inanimate substance does not exist. If the substance be not properly composed, chemically, however, these movements will remain amoeboid, that is, unable to develop into form; if properly composed, physical life will follow, provided the stimuli required for success be permitted to act upon the substance; this stimuli must be in the form of light, heat, etc., which, of course, means life electrons, and let us not forget that without such stimuli, there would indeed be no evolution of life; and, to be sure of this fact, it may be safely stated that even the most favorably prepared substance will in darkness, cold, etc., remain lifeless and its few weak residuary electrons will soon appear inactive. Some sort of ray, electrons, in some manner must invade the substance to bring forth life.

This is what has actually been accomplished, but should not be termed artifical life. What the chemists and biologists have thus succeeded in doing has been to arrange properly the substances required for electronic invasion, occupation and organization. Matter, it w^ill be seen, is secondary, in a way, as it is the product of original life, the latter not a product of matter.

When man cannot explain the true nature of force or phenomena he declares them to act according to "fixed" or natural law, etc., but what is the cause of such a law, he does not venture to explain.

Certain it is that in any case there must be a lawmaking agency active before a law can be established. Thus society's laws are made by man, and natural laws are made by nature — that is, by that which is underlying all things — electrons.

When there is greater force in the steam of a hundred than in a fifty pound pressure, it is because the steam or water particles are being driven farther apart by the greater number of electrons involved in the invasion.

When the zinc plate in an electric battery is gradually **eaten" away while its * 'latent heat" is being liberated in the form of electricity, some of it as a loss in the form of heat called internal resistance, it will give off just as many electrons as were contained in the zinc, that is, as were active in combining the zinc atoms together, minus those required to form the new combination of the zinc atoms with the oxygen of the electrolyte into a zinc oxide, etc. Electrons thus present in everything tangible, active or "dead," must stand for all the terms of power, energy, pressure, vitality, electricity, magnetism, light, heat, etc., and can be liberated in one form or other, and are ready to act in any desired capacity, according to conditions and demand. Viewed from this standpoint, the various confusing terms, become more comprehensible, being reduced to a common base proposition.

There is, consequently, no such a thing as a "law of matter." Matter will behave exactly as the residuary and invading electrons dictate, by virtue of numbers involved, and by kind or size.

The fact that isolated particles of certain substances have been observed to possess spontaneous movements resembling life is, therefore, nothing but an attempt on the part of the electrons present to organize into physical form, but, in the absence of other chemicals, proportionately necessary, they fail to accomplish their intention.

In the natural production of life, all chemical elements required are proportionately present and already, in a measure, under organization by proper number and kind of electrons already there, and so on from generation to generation; the requisite number of electrons of the right class are conveyed in conjunction with the chemical combinations necessary at the inception of life, and the embryo **grows" simply because the reinforcing influx of electrons gather the materials necessary for their purpose. The purpose, however, it must be repeated, is not merely to obtain a fully developed material body, the latter being coincidental, for it should be remembered that a process with an aim diametrically opposite takes place. The electrons cannot organize themselves without the use of matter, for, free in space, they are under too high a rate of speed, while through denser medium they move at a lower rate, and can work. Substance is. therefore, being employed gradually as required to give outline, form and design to the electronic structure that is creating itself during the period of a physical life's evolution and duration.

If five hundred billions of electrons, let us say, have thus by degree worked themselves into the organization desired, there is little or no more need of materials, and the process of death must then follow, which means that now the electronic structure is modelled, and can actually exist without all the chemical elements that had been useful, the latter are then going back into the earth's materials but the electronic being, the soul, goes into a world where death is not. This being is the real man transfigured into a transfigured world ready for greater electronic development. Like a new invention which is gradually becoming part of the whole world's industry, so the new electronic being is now becoming part of the organized electronic universe, of God, and has its new functions to perform.

The electron, as stated, is neither force nor matter, in the ordinary sense of the words, force and matter being in reality identical; for in one form, electrons have grouped into atoms and the latter so arranged by free electrons as to form substance; in another form, force, that is, free electrons which, in turn, organize themselves by means of using their own kind, those in bondage, matter.

Before entering upon a brief description of the methods employed by unorganized electrons toward organization, it would seem both timely and proper first to point to a few conspicuous facts apparent in these methods and the ceaseless efforts of the invisible world.

In passing through matter, portions of the inexhaustible, unorganized cosmic being become organized into individual existences, though never wholly separated from the great origin; in fact, no more detached than are the millions of electric motors, lamps, and contrivances, distributed about in a great city, from the great pressure in the electric power house.

In completing the organization work in matter, there results the organized electronic structure which is as immortal as the great unorganized source whence it came.

This is the trinity principle referred to:

1 . The unorganized state of the living universe.

2. The organized, individualized state of the universe.

3. The necessary interposition of matter between the two.

Is this identical with the great trinity taught by Christ?

Well, it is not within the province of these few pages to dwell or elaborate upon this wonderfully broad principle, but merely to convey a hint.

**Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make ye free."

The writer is fully convinced that the Son of man could have informed the world to a greater extent concerning the broader meaning of it all. But considering the fact that but few of His contemporaries could follow Him, He decided to personify everything in large outlines. Few could read or write, and what He taught was sufficient. While He refrained from mentioning atoms, molecules, etc.. He repeatedly referred to light — electrons. There seems to be many other biblical sayings, that strongly point to a larger understanding which is to come. In Luke, 8:17, for example: '*For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid that shall not be known and come abroad." According to Isaiah, also, there is no question as to the existence of infinite hfe before matter was formed, for in order to recognize day, globes must revolve, and in Chapt. 43:13 he states: **Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?"

Chapter III

When the planet we call the earth was geologically fitted for life — with regard to temperature, atmosphere, etc., the individualization of Hfe, the electronic invasion, at once commenced. And here we may prop)- erly call attention to the one error, of late so commonly made, when layman and learned are heard discussing the origin of life and referring to the very first organic cell on earth as the beginning of all life, etc.

Such a thing as the first single cell could not very well have existed, because one-half of the planet, being constantly exposed to the influence of the sun, must, of necessity, have presented all over its surface the same fit conditions, here and there, for electronic organization. Consequently, there was a first moment rather when this happened, but at that moment or brief period more billions of the original cells sprang into being everywhere than all the mathematicians of ages could calculate, for, as will be readily seen, the globe must always have been thus surrounded by life ready to hold its entrance into matter whenever the same should be found properly arranged or prepared to receive it. Previous to this complete electronic invasion, there was nothing but attempts in this direction which, no doubt appeared as imitation life, that is, amoeboid movements in so called inanimate matter, precisely as are observed to-day in the scientist's laboratory, although, these movements were constantly instrumental in bringing about more thorough chemical combinations of matter for the purpose, namely, complete arrangement of the elements for life's start upon earth.

The protoplasm of the organic cell is under circulation, and its chemical substances are being deposited by electrons proportionately as required, and when finished, the influx of electrons now established in matter continues unceasingly, projecting their activity to exterior surroundings and thus new or adjacent cells appear. In the meantime, the incoming electrons are constantly, through resistance of the cell-matter, being given new directions, different from that in their free state. They are also undergoing new experiences, and learn at once that united effort must be established. Their respective speeds have been reduced, and they work under the form of heat or temperature, the process of fermentation now having been inaugurated.

What becomes of the electrons liberated from "dying" cells cannot well be discussed here; suffice, therefore, that after having seen service in even the simplest organic cells, they are, by way of experience and increased power in their minute co-operative colonies, already fitted for higher service, and as one specie of organism is absorbed by another as food, they are thus conveyed into the higher types of physical life until the form of man is reached.

Hence, we shall not dwell upon the methods and intricacies involved in their ascent through the lower forms of life, but at once proceed to a brief consideration of their activity and specific functions in the development of the human being.

It will be seen that, the very constitution of man being altogether electronic, that is, real man consists of nothing else but electrons, it is also evident that what is the great underlying aim is to obtain the most favorable, the highest perfection as to structural organization, to establish a perfect circuit, as it were, which in itself will consist of a rather isolated great number of electrons working in harmony toward the same end. Here a most perfect principle of co-operation is indeed manifested.

When the human body is in a state of so called exhaustion for lack of nourishment, the meaning is that a fresh supply of electrons, as well as materials for the process of metabolism, are needed. When after nourishment we talk of increased vitality, energy, etc., the meaning is that the supply or reinforcement has taken place.

But this shows only one channel through which electrons enter into the circuit. The food assimilated impart the electrons that were resident in it. The liquid or fluid elements absorbed by the body impart, likewise, their contents of electrons, besides of their other well known functions in connection with the process of assimilation, etc. This is another channel through which they enter.

When we breath air into the lungs, the gaseous elements, through the chemical actions involved in the oxidation processes, give off their electronic charge, which is a third manner of invasion into electronic man, and is more important that the other two.

It is plain that the purer all nourishments are, the better the result for the purpose. There is then less waste substance to be disposed of and the organs of the system less overworked. Waste substance means simply materials whose electrons are aliens, or too widely different in size, habits, movements, etc., to fit for the higher organization, and return, therefore, to lower organic service and circulation where they are more in accord with the classes there working.

As civilization progresses, governments are becoming more and more interested in rooting out from the food industries all kinds of adulterations, pure food laws are enacted, etc., which in itself is truly nature's silent demand, and is really part of the great cosmic scheme of creation.

There is. however, a fourth channel through which the eternal electrons enter into the combined individualization process of themselves; it is in the form of light. Light-electrons exist in a free state, that is, wherever rays of any kind, weak or intense, luminous or invisible, are present, and enter the system from all directions. But certain it is that they, like solids, liquid and air, are also polluted, so to speak, or hampered by alien electrons less fitted or not wanted at all in the Hfe of a given individual, and become thus a great hindrance to higher development. But such aliens may be of dominant importance in other systems. For the electrons of the entire universe are forever endeavoring to separate themselves into their respective classes. The prism is a simple device for the separation of a very few classes. A human body is a far more effective apparatus for this purpose. Many more classes are constantly separating themselves in even the simplest organisms, though not luminous, than in the best of prisms. The latter is the simplest of means, for this effect, and can retain none; there are simply observed a few in various colors, as they pass symetrically through ; the human body is the best, and the reason they are not seen there in distinct colors is because they largely there remain to become part of the growing organization.

Individuals differ greatly as to taste with regard to nourishment because at the bottom of life there is a dominant class of electrons fundamentally active in each individual, precisely as there is a dominant chord in music and a dominant element in everything. The foundation of a building is of dominant importance to the whole structure. The more of the dominant electrons present in the food absorbed, the more it is relished, the easier digested, etc., and the greater are both physical and spiritual results.

It is generally admitted that the brain guides the body; so it does. But it is obvious also that the body is the apparatus in which the electrons are undergoing a preparatory process for action in the brain cells. In the body is combined systematically all the channels through which electronic nourishment for the brain as well as for the body is introduced, that is, whatever electronic reinforcement is required for the evolution of the human soul is first marshalled into order in the body.
