plane of visible and material things
AS man thinks, so he acts and he
eventually becomes the chemical pro-
ducts of all his past thinking.
Thought is the instrumentality
through which life and mind rules the
universe, creates the stars, gives
worlds their motion and holds them in
their courses.
The principle by which thought OPP
crates is vibratory. The ether and
the atoms of the elements are ever in
a state of culver or vibration. The
ether is magnetic, thought is magnetic.
The mind mentally pictures the thing
it desires to create and this picture
becomes to the alchemist what the
blueprint is to the architect.
Life functions through mind; mind
functions through our cerebral brain in
man and brain acts as a transmitter
and transformer of the minds i'm
pressions which are converted into
thought; and though projected into the
ether instantly causes vibrations and
attractions of atoms and elements that
are in chemical affinity. Atoms unite
and condense into elements and they
in turn are formed into what we call
concrete visible and tangible matter.
SO mind becomes the master and the
moulder of matter and matter is used
as a matriX to fill out the interstices
and cover the skeleton frame of the
thing life has pictured and designed
to make.
Chemistry is life's handmaiden and
Yields a magic wand over all things
when and where life wills it.
All life on our planet begins in a
single microscopic cell-just speck
of protoplasm-and man is multi
plication and chemical combination of
millions of cells-little units of life
that possess a mind and a body.
The potential possibilities in syn
thetic chemistry are limited only by
mans lack of knowledge.
Chemistry holds the secret of life's
great mystery. And in the formation
of every chemical compound it is OBJ
servable, yet to man, insoluble.
Water and salt are about the SIM
plest things that exhibit life's Won
drous ways. Most people know that
two volumes of hydrogen will chemi
cally unite with one volume Of oxygen
under proper conditions. That both
gases are invisible, tasteless and in
odorless and we would naturally eX-
pect the formation of new gas, but
we get liquid wholly unlike its con-
stituents. In this union of gasses
plus element X creeps into the COM
pound, something unseen and unknown
to man.
Thus we behold a new product
brought out of the invisible into the
plane of tangible effects.
The ability to think is what makes
man a creator instead of a creature.
Thought directly or indirectly is the
minds instrument for changing i'm
pulses and ideas into things.
Life is a rigid conformity to immut
able laws and man whether he is con-
scious or unconscious of the law be-
comes the chemist of his life, its con-
ditions, its success or failure.
In our use of thought chemical ac
ton takes place in both mind and
body. Like begets like by its affini-
ties, yet by opposite polarity. One
law dovetails into some other law of
attraction and growth just as we build
our language and literature by group
ing the letters Of the alphabet into
words, words into sentences, thence
into paragraphs until we create book
having a chain of consecutive ideas
from lid to lid.
Hence the thoughts we entertain
are vitality important to mans we'll
being. If we think evil and error,
negative thoughts, fear, anger, hate,
distress and disaster, with such will
our lives be materialized.
To reach wisdom through expert
ence and character through discipline
we must think constructively in terms
of truth and facts that are verified by
natures laws; renounce our myths and
superstitions, our false premises and
seek only to be in harmony with life's
ultimate purpose.
Life rightly understood is not a
question of chance nor of creeds, nor
of nationality, wealth, position or of
power.
To be conscious of the stability of
the laws of life is mans greatest asset
and to use them wisely is to know
that we have found the truth which
will make US free.
Life in man is the life of the All
creative and Omniscient One. In man
it is an ever indwelling presence in his
sub-conscious mind, his guide and pro-
! tector.
Man, the mind, is an epitome Of his
Maker, the interpreter of natures
! laws and the only intelligent user of
