In order for Neon to take the place of Helium, as the inert gas between the first and second series, Helium must be absorbed into the elements of the second series to beget molecular progression. Thus the Helium unit carries the second series on into hydrochloric acid 36, and Argon 40, the next inert gas. The atomic weight of Argon is variously given at 39.60 to 40. We find the next inert gas, Krypton, is 80; hence, we shall assume that these inert gases merely carry forward the 16 valence units and the atom of Helium 4, to form the next serial pabulum: Neon 20 That Oxygen is the element which carries forward this progression is plain by the following: 16+ 4 Nitrogen. After having perfected new combinations Oxygen is cast out of the series (See diagram No. 30, Page 98) signifying a cooling process. It will be noted there is a variation in the atomic weights of Magnesium and Phosphorus of one electron, one, however, offsets the other, balancing the series. Absolute accuracy and agreement on the atomic weights of elements are not found in the text books. We believe these slight deviations are due to the hydrogen atom, which is ever ready to harmonize differences. We believe this is the underlying principle which causes all things on our planet to seek the level of the sea. It seems very evident too, that Oxygen is the irritant, carrying elements into the acid state and Helium is the stabilizer. Neon 20+ Oxygen 16 Hydrochloric acid 36. Hydrochloric acid 36+ Helium 4 Argon 40. = It is because of the formation of Neon that neutrality between the first and second series is established in order that the second basylous element, Sodium 23, may be formed without regurgitation of energy occurring. Neon will neither regurgitate back into the acid Fluorin nor directly unite with Sodium. Therefore the new series with intermittent control by Helium. Neon 20+ 4 = Magnesium 24. = = Phosphorus 31 +4 Chlorin 35. Thus Helium carries the first series on into the second and continues the elemental progression step by step. The odd elements are positive. The even elements are negative. In this process, like begets like through a common medium, making an alternating series. The addition of oxygen as a common positive agent carries this on into the next series. The final evidence that the first series consists of the original 43 electrons is, that, after passing over to the second series Sodium 23 electrons, the residue is Neon 20= 43 electrons. Thus we reduce the whole process to the two active agents Hydrogen and Oxygen, combined these two form water. "Verily, I say: except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (Jno. 3-5.) Water signifies hydrogen; spirit signifies oxygen; the kingdom of God is the living kingdoms of the earth; therefore he who wrote the above quotation knew the Gnostic philosophy. That carbon is the resultant ash of this valence series is also quite manifest-carbon is the original earthy man. means earthy. Adam There are eight elements in the series. The process of fruit production is by the blending of elements. The first four elements have to do with production, and the falling inflection with reproduction, hence the fall of man and the original sin, have to do with reproduction. This process is wholly dependent upon and under the control of Hydrogen and Oxygen, moisture and warmth. These truths are all amenable to demonstration. It would be inconsistent to attribute all of these successful demonstrations to accident. Add to these electrons the 16 valence electrons I, II, III, IV, III, II, I, 92 + 16 = 108 ÷ 9= 12, carbon. That the intention of this cycle is to form a basylous element for the succeeding series is equally plain, as demonstrated by the combinations above. That the 16 valence electrons are responsible for carrying forward the basylous elements is shown by adding to Sodium 23, these 16 electrons, 39, which is Potassium, the basylous element in the third series, coming out of the inert gas Argon. That the differentiating agent is Helium is found by dividing the 92 electrons by four, equalling 23 Sodium. Helium is a product of blending of the four original atoms by which they became a common pabulum for differentiating purposes, in order that the four primary principles may be carried through the whole system without losing their identities and their dependence upon each other. It is by this provision that control is maintained. By an examination of the first series we see how true this is. The elements may not regurgitate back into each other. The wave of Oxygen cannot pass back into that of Nitrogen. Fluorin will not unite with Oxygen. But Oxygen 16 and Helium 4, mechanically unite to form the inert gas Neon 20, therefore, these inert gases are forms of chemical atmospheres which do not burn. Sodium decomposes Neon, setting Oxygen free, and passes Helium on through the series. The 16 free Oxygen electrons become the valence units for the second series. That these inert gases are the agents which check the progression of the series is plain, from the fact that Neon 20+ Oxygen 16 = 36, Hydrochloric acid. The addition to Hydrochloric acid of Helium 4 accounts for the next inert gas, Argon 40, proving that the rule of four is the controlling and balancing power in the whole system. Out of Argon comes Potassium, the third basylous element. Gravitation alone seems to show a tendency to temporarily break this power of continuity, but centripetal force quickly breaks this force, proving that the apparent straight line, representing the gravitation, is but the path of the transition of centrifugal force into centripetal force, or orbital motion into spiral motion, therefore, it is safe to deduce that, there is no such thing as a straight line for free bodies in motion. That which seems to be a straight line is at its lowest pitch a turning point where sufficient lagging force culminates to carry the body on into a curvilinear course to form the reciprocal spiral; otherwise the straight course would be eternal. This is the very essence of the process of life itself. The pendulum best reveals the law. At the highest pitch there is a temporary pause, and, at the lowest point cumulative momentum sends it on. When carbon is formed, apparently bringing matter to a condition of rest, the cumulative force behind it is sufficient to revive within it motion and life. This is the process producing all organic life. There is no such thing as absolute gravitation in a body. If there were, life would cease with crystallization. Nature, long ago solved the problem of perpetual motion. There is a lapse between production and reproduction, a period of apparent suspended animation, a period of rest and recuperation, the straight line symbolizing the state of rest and the spiral recuperation. This is the period of gestation. This reappears in a new process, respiration, the point of rest appearing between inspiration and expiration. Throughout nature we find the constant manifestation of this law. Respiration assumes a great variety of forms. It is the regulating power in nature. The seasons check off the respiration of the planet; the fruit and leaves are the material manifestations of vegetable respiration. The tree inhales all the essential elements for forming its leaves and fruits, and it then exhales or releases them back to the earth. In the valence series cumulative production is represented by the four rising valence elements in each series; the temporary power of gravitation is represented by the three falling elements in the series, representing the deliverance back to the earth of the fruits of the chemical process, but there gravitation ceases and centripetal force takes possession. An apparent temporary rest follows before the tree reproduces. This temporary suspension of progressive motion symbolizes the periods of the inert gases. We may conclude that the temporary rest signifies the |
