The atom, in turn, is made up of electrons which are constantly in rapid motion; thus it is said that in every drop of water and every grain of sand the entire principle upon which the whole universe operates, is duplicated.
How marvelous!
How stupendous!
How do we know these things to be true?
Through the aid of the MIND. You may gather some slight idea of the magnitude of it all the next time you eat a beef-steak, by remembering that the steak on your plate, the plate itself, and the table on which you are eating and the silverware with which you are eating are all, in final analysis, made of exactly the same material, electrons.
In the physical or material world, whether one is looking at the largest star that floats through the heavens or the smallest grain of sand to be found on earth, the object under observation is but an organized collection of molecules, atoms and electrons. (An electron is an inseparable form of power, made up of a positive and a negative pole.) Man knows much about the physical facts of the universe!
The next great scientific discovery will be the fact, which already exists, that every human brain is both a broadcasting and a receiving station; that every thought vibration released by the brain may be picked up and interpreted by all other brains that are in harmony, or in "tune" with the rate of vibration of the broadcasting brain.
How did man acquire the knowledge that he possesses concerning the physical laws of this earth?
How did he learn what has taken place before his time, and during his uncivilized period?
He gathered this knowledge by turning back the pages of Nature's Bible and there viewing the unimpeachable evidence of millions of years of struggle among animals of a lower intelligence. By turning back the great stone pages man has uncovered the bones, skeletons, footprints and other unmistakable evidence which Mother Nature has held for his inspection throughout unbelievable periods of time.
Now man is about to turn his attention to another section of Nature's Bible - the one wherein has been written a history of the great mental struggle that has taken place in the realm of THOUGHT.
This page is represented by the boundless ether which has picked up and still carries every thought vibration that was ever released from the mind of man. This great page in Nature's Bible is one that no human being has been able to tamper with.
