Crystallization has been considered in paragraph 21, but when matter
is cooled very slowly through long periods of time, vacuo spaces are
not formed.
Ordinary cast iron is crystallized, but when it is heated in a furnace
and gradually cooled through several days or weeks, it becomes
"malleable iron."
The iron which is used as an electro-magnet for a telegraphic machine
will not work unless the iron is annealed very soft by being heated
and allowed to cool in the ashes as the fire gradually dies out.
Crystallization is the most wonderful dovetailing process conceivable.
When a liquid is cooled the molecules become radio active and radiate
lines of force. These lines are nearly straight, unlike heat lines,
and therefore they are cold lines. They drive matter in planes and
straight lines or surfaces instead of into globules or liquids which
move. The discs of ice cannot move or roll about like the globules of
water, and ice is hard like quartz or a form of flint or silica.
All objects are formed by the action of TWO forces, either a curling
force or a straight force. Plants form leaves in the air, and where
there is more obstruction and curving influence they form roots. ALL
CELLS ARE ALIKE in their first state, but are changed in the process
of growth or from influences.
A slip from a geranium when stuck into the earth will form roots. It
seems to me that each cell in an egg contains a counterpart of the
whole body of a chicken--that is, it contains electrons or occult
matter which, once having passed through all parts of a fowl's body,
in the blood photographs these parts.
We can account for the various parts of the egg yolk turning its
cells into different forms by the location which the particular cell
occupies--as cells in various parts,--at the center,--or at the
surface,--would be subject to curling forces or straight forces. At
the center forces would be obstructed and curled, and at the surface
just the opposite, and a hundred variations, according to the location
and surroundings.
How many times I have wished that a social condition could be
instituted by which EVERY LIVING BEING in the world or the
universe could be happy and free from fear, worriment, hunger, and
exposure--where peace, plenty and pleasure existed for all--where all
could have a horse, automobile, golf link or any correct thing which
their ideas called for to make them enjoy themselves.
FOUR HOURS' labor per day is enough for any one and there is enough
in the world to give every one happiness and plenty if THE SOCIAL
CONDITION was arranged correctly.
While there are many unfeeling capitalists, yet the poor are not
always right. They don't know how to act for their own welfare. They
may know what they want, but don't know how to get it. An ignorant
poor man will often sell his vote or he is too ignorant to learn that
he should obey correct laws.
