pattern. It's atoms are ,interlocked in a
Stable manner and are hence prohibited
from gliding about. Iron anc tungsten
are body-centered cubical metals whose
atoms shift about and thus exert mutual
atomic attraction at varying distances.
A definite amount of energy is necessary
to separate a given electron pern1a-
nently from the atom to which 1t orig
inally belongs This essential amount
of energy ionizes the atom. A bullet,
for illustration, if it could be put into
motion at an initial speed Ct miles a
second would eventually escape from
the earth.
Light is formed as result Of elec-
irons being forced from certain posi-
tions to other points. When they re-
turn to their first position they emit
flashes of light. The color of the light
depends on the points to which the hy-
drogen units are moved and whence
they return. In general, s1 atom emits
light when its planet drops to nearer
orbit. This is the origin of light.
The atom is now viewed as Of a
higher energy density or higher electric
density. The electric charge and its
field are to each other what high
wave Is to the water which surrounds
it, or high hill is to the neighboring
, valley. Science now studies the con-
tour lines of electric density in an atom
lust as the surveyor maps the high and
low points, recognizing that they are one
with the rest OF the land Atoms are
really energy systems, while matter is
the graphic tangible portrayal Of their
energy patterns. Experiments suggest
that the electron is wave system. or
at least is accompanied by wave SyS-
tenn of some sort or another.
Iron is magnetic and our most useful
metal. The core of the earth Is made
of iron, while meteoriteS are formed
from similar raw material. Iron and
oxygen maintain the vital life processes

| MIR. HUBBARD even goes so far as
| to hint that possibly the 1l-yea1
conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn may
perturb meteor swarm orbits, sending
many meteors into the sun, enriching
iron radiation. awakening the sleeping
solar giant, releasing cosmic forces that
change mass into energy, produce sun
spots and perhaps more iron rays, which
reach our trees and find response in the
iron in the plants. This may quicken
growth as the annual rings suggest in
tune with its periodicity of IL years.
What applies to the trees may also oc-
cur in the case of crops. The reso-
nance of the iron atom created by the
suns rays suggests a cycle OF profound
significance for the destiny of man.
