The Secret of Life, Death and Immortality: A startling proposition, with a chapter devoted to mental therapeutics and instructions for self healing

The writer once saw hundreds of children under a common impulse come
swarming, dancing, from every quarter of a great city to a common meeting
place. As they rushed together en masse their individual movements
continued until out of the marching and counter-marching, the shifting,
changing, rearranging, re-adjusting there was evolved before his eyes
the flag of this nation with its glorious stripes and stars composed of
human boys and girls.
We have stated that ether, air, fire, water, earth, are but masses of
infinitesimally small particles—called electrons—of the one primeval,
universal substance, living their life of attraction and repulsion,
embrace and separation, forever whirling in their eternal “Maypole
dance.” Rushing together in a mad embrace, then darting away to seek
some other partner. Weaving in and out, in and out, around about, back
and forth, to and fro. This dance is called Creation—Evolution. It is an
eternal Brocken—an eternal Nachtspiel.
The sun is but one great mass of these whirling, vibrating, dancing
electrons. As varying numbers of these rush off and regroup themselves,
other planets are “born” or evolved. All depend upon the larger or parent
mass from which they parted. Our earth is but one of these children of
the sun. The earth is a woman, a beautiful woman, forever young, forever
fair. The sun is her father.
The sun is the primary source of the variety of forms of life on this
earth. While the electrical energy, or positive and negative impulse of
the electrons of atomic matter, constitute the eternal force or energy
called Life, only by the radiant energy of the sun in our system,
could we have the planets—of which our earth is one—and the varied
forms of activity evolved and maintained thereon. Our earth could no
more produce these higher forms of activity called mineral, vegetable,
animal, man,—all biological activities—without the sun, than the female
could produce offspring without the male. The sun is positive, the earth
negative. The sun’s vibrations reach our earth in about eight minutes
and acting upon its atmosphere, it finds a resistance or polarity out of
which is evolved light, heat and moisture.
Every molecule of our body is rotated into form and continues its
activities by the radiant energy of the sun.
Here again we see there can be no death. Every atom in the universe is
living, pulsating, vibrating electric energy.
The sun is like a great dynamo, rotating every planetary body into form
and position, and through its continued radio-activity carrying on the
further processes of creation called the evolution of sentient life. It
is often asked, “Are other worlds inhabited by sentient beings?” There
can be no reason for supposing otherwise. Given atmospheres, and the
radiant energy of the sun or suns, must by analogy evolve like results on
other planets.
