Book of Cosmogony and Prophecy<\/strong>, Plates 45-57, Chapters 1 and 2<\/p>\n

Chapter 1<\/span><\/p>\n

1. The same principles apply to all the stars, suns, planets and moons, differing in
\nmanifestation on account of size, motion, density and relative place.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The earth floateth in the midst of a vortex, the outer extremity of which is somewhat
\nbeyond the moon. The vortex is globular, corresponding to the form of the earth, with
\nslight differences, which will be pointed out hereafter. Vortices are not all closed at the
\nends; some are open at both ends. (See illustrations of vortices, G<\/span>OD\u2019S <\/span>B<\/span>OOK OF <\/span>B<\/span>EN<\/span>)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The vortex turneth the earth on its axis, with its own axial motion. Consequently the
\nouter part of the vortex hath greater velocity than near the earth’s surface, which hath an
\naxial motion of one thousand miles an hour.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. The moon hath a vortex surrounding it also, which hath a rotation axially once a
\nmonth, but being an open vortex turneth not the moon. All vortices do not lay in contact
\nwith the planet, in which case it is called a dead planet. The moon’s vortex is ten times the
\nmoon’s diameter, and the earth’s vortex thirty times the earth’s diameter, with variations
\nwhich will be explained hereafter.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. The outer rim, forty-two thousand miles broad, of the earth’s vortex, hath a revolution
\naxially with the earth once a month. The swiftest part of the earth’s vortex is therefore
\nabout fifteen thousand miles this side of the orbit of the moon.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. From the swiftest part of the earth’s vortex, its force is toward the earth’s center. And if
\nthere were no earth here at present, the vortex would make one presently.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Things fall not to the earth because of the magnetism therein, save as hereinafter
\nmentioned, but they are driven toward the center of the vortex, by the power of the
\nvortex.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. The greater diameter of the vortex is east and west; the lesser diameter north and south,
\nwith an inclination and oscillation relatively like the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. The name of the force of the vortex is called vortexya, that is, positive force, because it
\nis arbitrary and exerteth east and west. As in the case of a wheel turning on its axis, its
\nforce will be at right angles with its axis, the extreme center of which will be no force.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. For which reason the north and south line of the earth’s vortex is called
\nthe m’vortexya, or negative force, for it is the subject of the other. As a whirlwind
\ngathereth up straw and dust, which travel toward the center of the whirlwind,
\nand to the poles thereof, even so do corporeal substances incline to approach the
\npoles of the earth’s vortex. Which may be proved by poising a magnetized needle.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. In the early times, the earth was longer north and south than east and west. But the
\nm’vortexya, being less than the vortexya, the earth assumed the globular form, which was
\nafterward attenuated east and west, then it again turned, to adapt itself to the polarity
\nnorth and south.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. In these various turnings of the earth, the same force of the vortex exerted over to the
\neast and west. By which behavior every portion of the earth hath been to the east, to the
\nwest, to the north and to the south. Which is proven in the rocks, and boulders, and
\nmountains of the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Wherefore it is shown there is no north and south polar power in the earth as such.<\/span>
\nFurthermore the iron mountains show they attract east and west and north and south,
\nwithout any regard to a central polar force in the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Wherein mortals have been taught erroneously in regard to two powers which do not
\nexist, as they have been heretofore set forth: These are the attraction of gravitation in the
\nearth, and a north pole magnetism in the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. The positive force of the vortex is, therefore, from the external toward the internal;
\nand the negative force of the vortex is toward the poles, and in the ascendant toward the
\npole external from the sun center.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Whereof it may be said the force of the vortex is toward its own center, but turneth at
\nthe center and escapeth outward at the north pole. As one may draw a line from the east to
\nthe center of the earth, thence in a right angle due north, which would be the current of
\nthe vortex until the center were filled with a corporeal body. After which the same power
\napplieth, and is all one power, although for convenience called positive and negative.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Vortexya can be concentrated in iron and steel, and in iron ore, in which condition
\nthey are called magnetic. And these substances, if poised as needles, will assume the line
\nof polarity of the vortex or its poles.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Vortexya in the atmosphere will combine oxygen and hydrogen, and an explosion
\nensueth, which is called thunder. But if an iron wire be raised up in the air (a lightning
\nrod), it formeth a negative center, to which the vortexya flieth quickly, following it down
\ninto the moisture of the earth, where it is dissolved.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. If an iron wire extend from city to city, and vortexya be charged at one end, it will
\nmanifest at the other pole, and at times even escape in a flame of fire (electric flash).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. In like manner the vortex of the earth constantly chargeth the earth with its vortexya
\nin the east and west, and it manifesteth in the northern pole of the vortex in flames of fire,
\nwhich are called Borealis. But it sometimes happeneth, over high iron mountains, that the
\nlight is manifested in other directions. A su’is can see vortexya, as is proven by placing a
\nhorseshoe magnet before him in the dark, and he will describe the polar light escaping,
\neven though he hath not been previously informed.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. When vortexya is manifested in flames of fire it is called electricity. But when it lieth
\ndormant, as in iron, it is called magnetism.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. Where two corporeal substances are rubbed quickly together, friction and heat result;
\nthis is a manifestation of vortexya.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. In the beginning of the earth’s vortex, the current concentrated certain substances
\n(which will be described hereafter) in the center thereof, where, by friction, the vortexya
\nmanifested in heat, so that when the congregation of materials of the earth’s substance
\nwere together, they were as a molten mass of fire.<\/span><\/p>\n

24. And for a long period of time after the fire disappeared, two great lights manifested,
\none at the north and one at the south.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Were the earth a central planet, like the sun, the light would have been all around, in
\nwhich case it would have been called a photosphere.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. By vortexya was the earth first formed as a ball of fire. By the same power is the
\nwarmth of the surface of the earth manufactured to this day. Think not that heat cometh
\nfrom the sun to the earth; heat cometh not from the sun to the earth. Of which matter
\nmortals in part still dwell in the superstitions of the ancients, who believed all things
\ncame from the sun. For is it not said this day: Heat and light come from the sun? Nay,<\/span>
\nwithout examination, they also talk about the attraction of gravitation of the sun
\nextending to other planets!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. Corpor, as such, hath no power in any direction whatever: Neither attraction of
\ncohesion, nor attraction of gravitation; nor hath it propulsion. But it is of itself inert in all
\nparticulars. As two ships sailing near each other will collide, or as two balls suspended by
\nlong cords will approach each other somewhat, the cause lieth not in the ships or the
\nballs, but in what is external to them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. Cast water on a dusty floor and the drops of water will assume globular forms, being
\ncoated with dust. For convenience sake it is said that the globular form is natural to a
\nliquid, and it is called the globular power. But it is nevertheless caused by a power
\nexternal to itself. Approach one of the drops of water, which lieth coated with dust, with a
\npiece of cloth, and instantly the globe of water breaketh and climbeth up into the cloth.
\nThis is erroneously called capillary attraction. But in fact the water had no attraction for
\nthe cloth, nor the cloth for the water. The power which accomplished this was external to
\nboth, and was the same in kind as the vortexya that brought the earth to its center and
\nmaintained it therein.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

29. Withdraw the vortexian power, and the earth would instantly go into dissolution.
\nWhen the cloth approacheth the drop of water, it breaketh the vortex thereof,
\nand the water goeth into divisible parts into the cloth, in search of negative polarity.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

30. What is called corporeal substance, which has length, breadth and thickness,
\nremaineth so by no power of its own, but by vortexya external thereto. Exchange
\nthe vortexya, and the corpor goeth into dissolution. This power was, by the
\nancients, called Uz, or the fourth dimension of corpor. (See Uz, B<\/span>OOK OF <\/span>S<\/span>APHAH<\/span>.)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

31. Wherefore it is said, the tendency of corpor is to uncorpor itself (dissolve or
\nevaporate). From the surface of the ocean, and from the earth also, moisture riseth
\nupward. Turn a wheel slowly, with water on its periphery, and the water flieth not off; let
\nthe wheel stand idle, and the water runneth off; or turn the wheel very swiftly, and the
\nwater flieth off. The same results would follow, as regardeth water, if the wheel stood still
\nwith a current of air whirling around the wheel. If the air passed slowly, the water would
\nfall; if at a certain speed, the water would be retained on the periphery; but if at a higher
\nspeed, the water would be carried off.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

32. When the earth’s axial motion and the vortexian power are equivalent, there is no
\nevaporation of moisture outward; when the vortexya exceedeth, there is great
\nevaporation; but when the vortexya is less, there is rain. According to the vortexian
\ncurrents, so are the winds (save as hereinafter mentioned), and when these are discordant,
\nsmall vortices ensue in the cloud regions, and each of these small vortices formeth a drop
\nof rain, which is an infinitesimal planet. Nevertheless, all of them are under the propelling
\ninfluence of the earth’s vortex, and are thus precipitated to the earth. But neither
\nthe earth attracted the rain drops, nor do the rain drops attract themselves to the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

33. The earth’s vortex is a sub-vortex, existing within the sun’s vortex: Mercury, Venus,
\nMars, Jupiter, Saturn, and so on, are corporeal worlds, and each and all of them within
\nsub-vortices, and the combination of all these vortices within the sun’s vortex are known
\nby the names great serpent, or solar phalanx. For which reason the sun’s vortex was called
\nthe M<\/span>ASTER <\/span>V<\/span>ORTEX<\/span>, or T<\/span>OW<\/span>-S<\/span>ANG<\/span>, by the ancient prophets. (See plate 36, G<\/span>OD\u2019S <\/span>B<\/span>OOK OF<\/span>
\nB<\/span>EN<\/span>)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

34. Were the sun planet extinct, the master vortex would instantly make another sun.
\nAs the lines of vortexya are in currents from the outer toward the interior, so do
\nthe solutions of corpor take the shape of needles, in the master, pointing toward
\nthe center, which condition of things is called L<\/span>IGHT; <\/span>and when these needles
\napproach the center, or even the photosphere, the actinic force thereof is called H<\/span>EAT<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

35. Neither light, nor heat, nor attraction of gravitation cometh from the sun to the earth.
\nHeat decreaseth in force in proportion to the square of the distance from the place of
\ngeneration; nevertheless, an allowance of decrease must be added thereunto of one to the
\nhundred. Light decreaseth in proportion to the divisibility of rays, as will be mentioned
\nhereafter. Though a man see the light of the sun, as he seeth a horse in a field, yet there is
\nno such thing as travel of light in fact; nor is there any substance of light. But that which
\nis called light is polarity of corporeal needles in solution, caused by the lines of vortexya.
\nIn experiments on earth, the flash requireth a certain time to polarize these infinitesimal
\nneedles, and for convenience sake such lapse of time is called the travel of light. When
\nthe flash continueth, as in the case of the sun center, the master’s infinitesimal needles
\nremain poised from the sun center outward, even to the earth, and may be compared to
\ntelegraph wires, with a battery at each end. But there is no travel in any sense whatever.
\nDaylight is not, therefore, made by the sun, nor by the photosphere of the sun. Daylight is
\nthe condition of things polarized within the master vortex. Night is manufactured by the
\nearth coming betwixt the master’s focus and the outer extreme. So that both night and day
\ncontinue all the time; and we realize them both alternately in consequence of the axial
\nmotion of the earth. As in the case of night, or of any darkness, when the needles of
\natmospherean substance are disturbed in polarity, or when the lines of needles are cut,
\nas in eclipse, there is no direct manifestation of the earth’s vortexian currents, and such
\nis the cause of darkness. For which reason nitrogenous plants grow rapidly at night,
\nwhilst the ripening of certain fruits and grains require the light of day. For by this
\nvortexya are seeds and grains and fruits charged with it. Whereof when man eateth, or, as
\nin breathing air, these things go into dissolution, as hereinafter mentioned, the heat is
\neliminated, and lodgeth itself in man. Or if certain herbs be piled together, and they
\ncommence dissolution, their heat is evolved, and is called spontaneous combustion.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

36. Nevertheless, the herbs as such, have no power to produce heat; by their rapid
\ndissolution, the vortexya in them endeavoreth to escape to some pole. The heat in herbs,
\nand seeds, and plants, and other growing things, is because they are the objective points
\nof the actinic force of vortexya. And this heat in herbs is equivalent to the same thing in
\niron, which is called magnetism. And its liberation or polar manifestation is, after all, one
\nand the same thing as that which is discharged in a magnetic flame called electricity.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

37. So that the cause of all these things springeth from the vortex, the power and force of
\nwhich is vortexya. By a sudden dissolution of vegetable substance, as wood or straw, we
\nhave what is called fire, or burning. There is no substance of heat, nor of fire; a
\ndissolution occurreth in which the vortexya is liberated. Corporeal substances all contain
\nheat (vortexya proper); even snow and ice have it in infinitesimal quantities; and oils, and
\nherbs of all kinds; but the diamond containeth the highest percentage of charge.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

38. Wherein they have taught erroneously that heat cometh from the sun. As may be
\nproved in all the earth that heat (so-called) is evolved at the expense of destroying<\/span>
\nsomething, which is, in general, called combustion. And there is not in all the universe
\nanything that can give off forever without receiving a supply forever. Heat had to be
\nstored up in the first place in anything in heaven or earth before it could be liberated.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

39. Though a man burn a stick of wood, he can produce no more heat therefrom than
\nwhat was stored therein.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

40. Allowing the sun to be four and a half millions of miles in diameter, and to be of the
\nbest quality of a diamond. Give it even fifty percent of the burning capacity, and it would
\nbe entirely consumed in eighty thousand years! And yet the sun is not of any such quality
\nas a diamond. Even not more so in quality than is the earth. But suppose it were even as a
\ndiamond, or as the highest conceived-of center of heat; then that heat had to be previously
\ngiven to it. Whence came it? To suppose that heat existeth of itself is folly; to suppose
\nthat heat can be produced forever without supply is not supported by any fact in heaven or
\nearth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

41. Friction produceth heat; but it is because the abrasion liberateth stored-up vortexya.
\nOr as in the case of glass on leather, vortexya is manufactured. In the case of the sun no
\nsuch manufactory, nor one approximating it, existeth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

42. Wherein they have observed sun-spots, and said that during their presence, the
\ntemperature of the earth decreaseth, thereby reasoning that sun-spots prevented the heat of
\nthe sun falling to the earth, they have erred in two particulars: First, in defective
\nobservations and guessing at a conclusion; and second, in not having first determined the
\nrelative heat evolved from the earth at different periods in its course of travel. (Of which
\nmatter further remarks will be made hereinafter.)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

43. The same errors, in regard to the light of the moon, were made in the conclusions of
\nKepler and Humboldt, in attributing the eclipse thereof to be governed by the sun’s rays
\nbeing inflected by their passage through the atmosphere and thrown into the shadow cone.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

44. The superstitions of the ancients still cling to philosophers; they seek, first, to find the
\ncause of things in the sun; or if failing therein, turn to the moon, or if failing here, they
\nturn to the stars.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

45. Finding a coincidence in the tides with certain phases of the moon, they have
\nerroneously attributed the cause of tides to the power of attraction in the moon
\nmanifesting on the ocean, which is taught to this day as sound philosophy! Attraction, as
\npreviously stated, existeth not in any corporeal substance as a separate thing. There is no
\nsubstance of attraction. Nor is there any substance of gravitation. These powers are the
\nmanifestation of vortexya. If vortexya be charged into a piece of iron or steel, it is called a
\nmagnet, because it <\/span>APPARENTLY <\/span>draweth its own kind to itself. When two pieces of steel,
\nalike in quality, are charged with vortexya to their utmost, their power will be in
\nproportion to their dimensions. If one be twice the size of the other, its magnetic force
\n(so-called) will be in the main two times more powerful.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

46. The form of a true magnet of steel, to manifest the greatest positive, and greatest
\nnegative force, should be nearly a right-angle triangle, after the manner of a line of
\nvortexya from the equatorial surface of the earth to its center, and thence toward the north
\npole. By having two such magnets, and bringing their poles together, a square is
\nproduced, which now balanceth its recipency and its emission of vortexya. (See cut C,
\nFigs. 2 and 3.)<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>47. As in the case of an iron mountain, it is forever receiving (feebly) equatorially; and
\nforever emitting (feebly) polarly the vortexian current; though, for practical observations,
\nthe force may be said to be in a dormant state. And in this sense should the earth and
\nother planets be considered. They are not in the shape of triangles or horseshoes, but as
\nglobes. Hence their positive and negative vortexian power (magnetism, erroneously
\ncalled) is less than the horseshoe form.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

48. The power of a magnet decreaseth in proportion to the square of the distance from it.
\nUnder certain conditions one leg of the magnet repelleth things from it. As previously
\nstated, this is nevertheless one current; which vortexya floweth through the magnet, even
\nas water floweth through a tube. This propelling power of the magnet also decreaseth in
\nproportion to the square of the distance from it. If the poles of a single magnet be
\nexposed, it will in time decrease from its maximum power until it ultimately becometh of
\nthe same capacity (as to external things) even as if the poles were closed by juxtaposition
\nwith another magnet.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

49. Wherein it will be observed that were the sun or moon or earth the most powerful
\nsteel magnet, it would not take a long time (as to the time of worlds) when its magnetic
\nattraction would not exceed native iron ore. Wherein it will also be observed that were the
\nmoon a globe of magnetic iron ore, it can be shown approximately how far would extend
\nits power of magnetic attraction external to itself.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

50. Nevertheless, its magnetic attraction in that extreme case would not be on water or
\nclay, but on iron and its kindred ores. So that if the moon exerted a magnetic force on the
\nearth it would manifest more on the magnetic needle, or other iron substance, than on the
\nwater of the ocean.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

51. By suspending a ball of magnetic iron along side a suspended cup of water, it will be
\ndiscovered there is no magnetic attraction between them, more than between two cups of
\nwater, or between two vessels of clay.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

52. The highest magnetic power that can be imparted to steel in the form of a ball, to its
\nequatorial dimension, to manifest in moving an equivalent fellow, is seven of its
\ndiameters! But in the case of iron ore (normal magnet) it is very considerably less than
\nthis. By this it is shown that were the moon a steel magnet it would not exert perceptible
\npower more than nine thousand miles. Her shortest distance from the earth is two hundred
\nand twenty thousand miles.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

53. Wherein it is shown that under the most extravagant supposition of power, her
\nmagnetic attraction is more than two hundred thousand miles short of reaching to the
\nearth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

54. Were there such a thing as magnetic attraction between the iron and water, or between
\nwater and water, a still further discrepancy would result. Admitting the general parts of
\nthe moon, as to iron and stone and clay and water, to be alike and like unto the corporeal
\nearth, the power of the magnetic attraction of the earth, as against the moon’s, to hold the
\ntides from rising, would be in the ratio of different sizes of the two bodies, and their
\nrespective distances from the water contended for. In which case there would be more
\nthan four thousand million times advantage of power in the earth! For if we give the same
\nmagnetic equivalent to each, we must give to each a decrease in proportion to the square
\nof the distance of their centers from the point in contention, the ocean’s tides!<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>55. The same philosophy holdeth in regard to the sun, and to Jupiter and Saturn and Mars,
\nand all other planets, making allowance for their different densities and velocities.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

56. As to the attraction (so-called) between two earth substances, as granite, or sandstone,
\nor lead, or gold, or clay, or water, it is far less than between two steel magnets. Wherein it
\nwill be observed, that it is utterly impossible for any attractive force to exert from one
\nplanet to another; or even from a planet to its own satellite.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

57. And though the most extravagant supposition, based on measurement, be given to the
\nsun’s supposed attractive force, it doeth not extend to the earth by more than seventy
\nmillion miles! Wherein they have taught error in place of truth!<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 2<\/span><\/p>\n

1. There are two known things in the universe: ethe and corpor. The former is the solvent
\nof the latter.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. For comparison, take a lump of table-salt, which, though white, is impervious to the
\nsight of man. Cast it into water, and it is lost to sight; though it still existeth, the sight of
\nman can see through it.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Earth substance, as such, is equally soluble in ethe. And the great etherean firmament is
\nthus constituted; being a dense solution of corpor. In the main, etherea is transparent; but
\nin some places translucent, and in others, opaque.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Here are iron, and copper, and granite, and water, and lead, and clay, and nitrogen, and
\noxygen, and hydrogen, and various other kinds of corporeal substances, as known on the
\nearth, and besides these, millions of things not known on the earth. And ethe holdeth
\nthem in solution; even after the manner that the air holdeth the substance of clouds, which
\nis water in solution. And as some clouds are so rarified as to be imperceptible, whilst
\nothers are opaque, and even black, so are the comparative conditions of etherea; of which
\nmatters more will be said further on.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. In the case of a vortex in etherea (that is after the manner of a whirlwind on the earth),
\nthe corporeal solutions are propelled toward the center thereof in greater density.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. When it is sufficiently dense to manifest light, and shadow, it is called a comet, or
\nnebula; when still more dense it is a planet.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. When as a comet (or nebula) the m’vortex hath not attained to an orbit of its own, it is
\ncarried in the currents of the master vortex, which currents are elliptic, parabolic and
\nhyperbolic. Hence the so-called eccentric travel of comets.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. At this age of the comet, it showeth nearly the configuration of its own vortex; its tail
\nbeing the m’vortexya. If it appear to the east of the sun its tail turneth eastward; if west of
\nthe sun, it turneth westward.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Two directions of power are thus manifested; and also two powers: First, that the
\nvortex of the sun hath power from the east to west, and from the west to east, to which the
\ncomet is subjected: Second, that the comet hath a vortex of its own, which is sufficient
\nunder the circumstances to maintain the general form of the comet. The ordinary comet
\nhath its tail away from the sun, but some comets have two tails, one toward the sun and
\none away. In the case of Biela’s comet in the year 4 B.K. (1846 A.D.), which was broken
\nwhilst the observer was looking on, is sufficient evidence of the sub-power of the comet<\/span>
\nvortex.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Interior nebula is generally described as comets; whilst exterior nebula is usually
\ncalled nebula. Nevertheless, all such solutions of corpor are of like nature, being as the
\nbeginning or as the incomplete condensation of a planet.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. They do not all, nor half of them, ripen into planets. But their vortices are often
\nbroken and they return again into sublimated solutions, and are lost to mortal sight.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. But nowhere in etherea is there a solution of corpor sufficient to put itself in motion;
\nnor sufficient to condense itself; nor to provide the road of its travel. But its road of travel
\nshoweth the direction of the lines of the sun’s vortex. Save and except in such case when
\na comet’s vortex cometh within the vortex of another planet’s vortex of greater power than
\nits own.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. As a cyclone, or whirlwind, on the earth, traveleth with the general current of the
\nwind, so travel the sub-vortices in etherea within the axial lines of vortices in chief.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Whether within the sun’s vortex, or external thereto, the rules apply, so far as nebula<\/span>or comets are concerned, and the vortices that carry them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Axial velocity belongeth to all of them; and the tendency of all of them is to orbits;
\nthe which they attain to or not, according to their strength compared to the master.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. When a nebulous planet is sufficiently dense to have its corpor polarized, but so that
\nits polarity correspondeth to the polarity of the master, it is transparent, and possesseth no
\neclipse power.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. But when nebula is polarized transversely, it is as a cloud in etherea, with power to
\neclipse stars; and even to eclipse the sun itself, provided it be within the solar vortex.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Of external nebulae, of sufficient size to be self-sustaining, and to ultimately become
\nplanets, there are at present visible from the earth more than eight thousand. These are in
\nprocess of globe-making, even as the earth was made. Of nebulae within the sun’s vortex,
\nwhere they are usually called comets, there are upward of eight or ten new ones every
\nyear. Some of them survive but a few months, some a few years; some a hundred years;
\nand some even a thousand or more years. But in all cases when the vortex of one of them
\nbursteth, the corpor of the comet flieth instantly into dissolution more sublimated, and is
\nlost to mortal sight.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Where nebula is transparent and lieth between the earth and master center it is not
\ndiscernible, either with the naked eye or with a telescope. Amongst the most sublimated
\nforms of corpor in solution are nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen. When a sub-vortex, or
\neven a stratum of ten or twenty million miles, of this solution lieth between the earth and
\nsun center, and an observation of the sun be taken, the observer is apt to erroneously
\nsuppose he hath discovered nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen in the sun atmosphere or
\nphotosphere. And if the solution contain iron and gold and platinum, and other metals, the
\nobserver is apt to erroneously suppose he hath discovered these things within the
\nphotosphere or atmosphere of the sun.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Wherefore all observations made to determine such matters require that the observer
\nshall first understand what lieth between the earth and the sun at the time of observation.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. But some of these sub-vortices in etherea, require forty years’time in which to drag
\ntheir whole length away from the line of observation. So that in no case is the observation
\nof any value, even though it be taken the breadth of the earth, unless it covereth a period
\ngreater than forty years. But it also so happeneth that, perhaps, when such an immense<\/span>
\nvortex is about passing away from the line, that another one, equally large, and perhaps of
\ndifferent density of solution, cometh within the line. And it may thus occur that hundreds
\nof years will elapse before a good view of the sun can be obtained. Some of these
\ntraveling plateaux are opaque (dark), so that the sun is kept in a dim eclipse for a year or
\ntwo, and sometimes for hundreds of years.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. Wherefore philosophers have erroneously attributed their observations as having
\nproved certain gases and certain metals within the sun’s atmosphere.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. The same remarks apply to observations made of the stars; and even of the moon.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. In the case of light being manifested in a complete steel magnet, the major retention is
\nat the angle of the two legs, and the minor light at the terminus of the north leg (negative
\npole). But in an eccentric magnet (horseshoe) the two lights are manifest at the terminus
\nof the two legs.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. A complete planetary vortex is a globe, or nearly so, and its manifested light like a
\ncomplete magnet. But an immature vortex, as in the case of a comet or other small vortex,
\nwill manifest light at both poles, and sometimes in the middle, if it hath attained to power
\nto manufacture light of its own. In some cases the comet or the nebula is not sufficiently
\ncondensed to produce light of it own, but containeth corpor in a gaseous state which of
\nitself may have infinitesimal polarities refracting the normal light of the master vortex.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. By observing the new moon, it will be seen that the light portion thereof describeth a
\nlarger circle than the dark portion. The bulge of the light side of the moon always pointeth
\ntoward the sun. It is an error to say that light cometh from the sun and striketh on the
\nmoon, and is then reflected on the earth. As previously shown, there is no such thing or
\nsubstance as light; but that which is called light is a manifestation of vortexian power;
\nalso that the c’vortex is comparatively all one light, with a central focus. The reason one
\nside of the moon is dark and one light, is because it hath a positive and negative
\nmanifestation of the c’vortexya; for the moon also manufactureth its own light.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. As the moon advanceth to the next quarter, the same discrepancy in the two
\napparent sizes is manifest; and this continueth until it is full moon. It is an error to say
\nthat dark bodies appear smaller, and light bodies larger, because of absorption,
\nor refraction. The cause is not absorption, or refraction, or reflection, but of manufacture.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. Light bodies (so-called) manufacture light of their own, ever so infinitesimal,
\nwhich is as an envelope external to themselves. The eye of the observer seeth this
\nas well as the corporeal body, and consequently it appeareth larger than it really is.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

29. The same rule applieth in regard to the sun and his photosphere, and to comets, and to
\nall bodies that manifest light. Suitable deduction must be made, in endeavoring to
\ndetermine the size of a planet.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

30. Shadow is usually divided into two expressions, <\/span>UMBRA, <\/span>as the shadow of a
\nman standing in sunlight; and <\/span>DARKNESS, <\/span>as the shadow of the earth in a cloudy
\nnight. Nevertheless, they are but one and the same thing, but in different degrees,
\nboth of which are here included in the word shadow. In a clear night, when the
\nfull moon shineth, two conditions are manifest on the earth: first, that a shadow is
\nvertical to the moon, and the light side is not as light as when the sun shineth at noon.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

31. The density of shadow from sunlight and the density of shadow from moonlight
\ncorrespond exactly to the comparative difference between sunlight and moonlight.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

32. When it is full moon at midday, the light of the sun (so-called) is no greater because<\/span>
\nof the moon’s presence. Observe the difference, however, on a given object if the ray from
\na mirror facing the sun be added to the ordinary sunlight. Hence it is an error to attribute
\nthe moon’s rays as being reflected from the sun to the earth. If it be premised that the
\nlight face of the moon is not a mirror, but is opaque, observe the following result from
\nthe moon when it is half full: The half of the moon is equivalent to half a globe; if the
\nlight of the sun fell on the bulge, the rays thus landed on the moon would cause that part
\nof the moon to be a trifle more than four times lighter (or brighter) than on the slopes.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

33. In an observation of this kind, and if the light were borrowed from the sun, two kinds
\nof rays would result; the bulge of the moon would afford a center for rays to emanate in
\nvery direction; and the slope rays would refract at the same angle as received from the
\nsun.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

34. The fact is, however, there is no intense center light manifested on the moon’s surface,
\nin the place where it directly faceth the sun. Hence there is no possibility of the light of
\nthe moon being produced by light from the sun, or from the sun’s center. The light of the
\nmoon faceth the sun center, but the latter is not the cause thereof, the cause is in the
\nemissions of positive and negative currents from the moon’s vortex, and they manifest in
\nthe m’vortexya of the master.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

35. The same rules apply to all planets whose vortices are negative.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
