THE revolution of the central star or stellar center which, from its positive and negative sides, produces the revolutions of the projected sun, precipitates also (in its revolutions) the essences of the sun, which come in contact with the inflowing substantial essences from the circumference. These unite in the atmospheres and appropriate their substances in processes of combustion.
In this union of outflowing essences from the sun and inflowing essences from the circumference, and the burning of the substances of the atmospheres, there is a constant precipitation of matter,--reduced from the state or quality of spirit to the state or quality of matter.
The earth's surface is thus constantly accumulating matter on its uppermost (innermost) surface, day by day, in the direction of the sun's apparent revolution around the earth,--which is really the projected sun's movement through the lower atmosphere,--in an orbit around the central star and within the crust or shell, the circumference of all.
The superficial earth and water--the water represented by the large body of oceanic mass--are conditions of intermediate metamorphosis or change from
The central star, the real polar point, which is the positive origin of the stars and planets, in transmitting its essences outwardly, forms around itself the circumambient space of light and darkness, or a positive and a negative side. Upon this peculiar arrangement depend night and day. The earth's surface is subject one half of the time, or about that, to the influence of the light side, and the other half of the time to the influence exerted upon the earth's surface by the darkness and its concomitants. In this revolution of the central star, which gives to us the appearance of the revolution of the sun in an orbit around the earth once in twenty-four hours, and which, by the modern scientific "lights" is interpreted to mean the rotation of the globe upon its axis every twenty-four hours, there must be presented to the earth two directly opposite poles--the light and dark poles. Half way between these poles there exist two others; one is the evening and the other is the morning. These are the poles of twilight. The evening is the caloric or heat pole; the other is the cruosic or cold pole. The revolution of the sun in one continuous direction causes the earth's encumberment of matter to follow as a consequence upon a perpetual spiral; not, however, a spiral of the same and persistent outfluence, but of a consecution of fluences modified by the specific effect of each polate point, as these points succeed one another in the order of the sun's rotation. The vegetable kingdom affords one of the most favorable opportunities to study these subtle fluences,--the outfluences and influences characteristically different at any two opposite polate points. In the foliage of vegetable life, the so called lungs of vegetation, there are carried on the double process and function, according to the period of the day to which it relates, of what partially agrees with the function of respiration in the lungs. In the morning the leaf gives forth oxygen, and in the evening carbonic acid gas, or carbonic anhydride. These are the marked characteristic differences in the respiration of plant life as pertaining to the caloric (evening) and the cruosic (morning) poles. The specific characteristic differences in the respiration of plants at midday and midnight, while as thoroughly opposite and distinct as the differences in the evening and morning, are of a more subtle character because partaking more of the nature of the transposition of spirit than of the more tangible substances--the gases. The foliage of the vegetable kingdom, it will be At the extremity of the arterial circulation there is a process the reverse of that which takes place in the lungs. There is a process of combustion in operation in the capillary circulation which, instead of transmitting outwardly the spirit corresponding to carbonic anhydride, which is exhaled by the lungs, carries it back into the venous circulation, thus carbonizing the blood and supplying it with its sugar, the foundation of the carbon corpuscle. In the animal structure the process of oxidation takes place at one extremity of the circulation, namely the lungs, and the process of carbonization at the other In the relation of the microcosm to the macrocosm there is developed an important discovery; namely, that the motion is inversely to the motism and statism of the physical macrocosm. For instance, in the physical macrocosm the vegetative and vegetable form and function are stable, and the diurnal relations are mobile. In the microcosm, the vegetative form and function are mobile, and the diurnal relations are stable. It is thus discovered that the stable things in the microcosm are the mobile things in the macrocosm, and that the mobile things in the microcosm are the stable things in the macrocosm. It is claimed that the surface of the earth moves from west to east nearly twenty-five thousand miles in twenty-four hours. According to modern "science," this is a solid body moving through space at a rotary speed of over one thousand miles an hour, or more than sixteen miles per minute. Can any sane man imagine that a solid body with this rate of speed, surrounded by a thin atmosphere, can so carry its
