we have taken 1t for granted that
each OF US is a unit.
we think OF a cat, an elephant. q
horse. a fish and so on as units.
II am convinced that such think
ing ~ basically wrong. All these
things appear TO be units only for
the reason that the life entities of
which ! speak are far too small to he
detected even with the ultra-micro-
scope.
The question has been raised that
" these life entities are so small. they
cannot be large enough TO include q
collection OF organs capable of carry
ing on the tasks which | am about TO
mention.
yet why not?
NO LIMIT TO sMALLNEss.
There Is no limit TO the smailness
OF things, just as there Is no limit
as 20 largeness. The elsctron theory
gives US a reply which is wholly sat
isfsctory. have had the matter
roughly calculated and have at hand
the data OF the calculation. 1 ann sure
that highly organized entity. con-
sisting OF millions OF electrons vet
still remaining too small TO be visible
through any existing microscope, is
possible.
There are mssy Indications that
we human beings act as = roaa unity
or ensemble rather than as u.its.
That is why / believe that each OF
us comprises millions upon millions
Of entities, and that our body and our
mind represents the vote or the voice.

entities.
NOW let's see why We must be
composed of life entities.
suppose you take q finger print of
your thumb, In the conventional man
ner Of the police records. Then burn
your thumb sufficiently TO destroy the
skin. Do you know that after the
new skin has formed the finger print
OF your recovered thumb will be pre-
cisely the same as the first one? Yes.
absolutely the same, even down to the
last line and irregu;arity. l tried it
which has rema ined unanswered until
now.
NATURE MEANS NOTHING.
"Of course. you say. IL is nature.
But what Is nature? That seems to
me to be such an evasive reply. II
means nothing. 1T is just a subter-
fuge-a convenient way of shutting
off further questioning by merely Civ
ing an empty word for an answer. !
have never been satisfied with that
word nature
"Now my answer Is that the skin
didn't happen to grow that way again
by accident. Someone had to plan
the new growth and TO supervise 1t
to make certain that IL would conform
in every way with the old skin. You
do not know just what that pattern
is, and so your brain plays no part
in the operation.
Here Is where our life entities
come into action. firmly believe
that the life entities rebuild that
thumb with rOnsummate care. draw
ing upon their rema rk able memory for
all the details.
Let us consider an analogy, for
The sake of making my point more
clear to you.
MARIAN VIEWS ON EARTH.
"Supposing that a man from Mars
came to this earth, and his eyes were
so much coarser than ours that the
smallest thing he could see was the
Brooklyn Bridge? He could not see
us. Naturally. he might take the
Brooklyn Bridge for some natural
growth. just as we consider grass,
sand, minerals and other things as
matters of natural development
for
were to destroy the Brooklyn Bridge.
and several years later he happened
to fiind new bridge in precisely
the same place and Of precisely the
same design.
Would il seem logical for that
man to assume that the bridge sim
ply grew again in the same manner
and in the same place?
Don't you suppose that the Mar
tian would be compelled to assume
that some Intelligence and guided
effort were behind the rebuilding OF
the structure he had destroyed?
That is precisely the stand we
should take regarding the life en-
titles. Obviously. the entire mat
ter is ons OF conjecture.
"Perhaps the entities In our s0dies
are eS per cent werker~ and per
ensemble OF all these entities which
gives us our physical form, mental
properties, personality. and So On.
III we have more good entities
than bad ones, the predominating
good members make us good, and
so on. The entities, too, are care
