The Law and the Prophets: A Scientific Work on the Relationship Between Physical Bodies, Vegetable, Animal, Human, and Planetary (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from The Law and the Prophets: A Scientific Work on the Relationship Between Physical Bodies, Vegetable, Animal, Human, and Planetary What is law? Sir Isaac Newton re-discovered the great infinite truth concerning the law of matter, (as we understand matter, or substance, ) which is, that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle, according to its density, and inversely according to the square of its distance, which is acknowledged by all scientists, as demonstrable. This being true, there must be a power, force, or energy, inherent in the particle of matter, which gives it the attractive quality, and magnetic Vibration, is the term I will use to express the idea of this force or energy, to those who are ready to admit that there is an inherent life or power co-existent with the atom.' What is Vibration? It is infinite and eternal activity motion, expression, and repetition. It is manifest not only in matter as we view material things, or substance, but the boundless Spaces are alive and teeming with this eternal principle. The ether of space which is in a state of vibration so high that no mechanical instrument, or chemical composition can be produced to record the number of waves per second (because matter or gasses vibrated that high would become ether, and cease to exist as matter or even gas, ) and which permeates all substances, and in which all sub stances act, ' in transmitting their effects to and upon all other substances is the Wire, or vacuum, -through which the messages - that is to say, magnetic influences, forces or powers, pass from atom to atom, planet to planet, and sun to sun.
