The Spirituelle of Matter, Energy, All Divine, is, Life, God the All in All

FOREWORD

As to the why, and the conditions under which this theory of The Spirituelle of Matter is offered to take a place in the creative thought of humanity, as an aid to refute by indisputable evidence the gross absurdi­ties of a bald and vague materialism. The basis of this theory rests upon the evidences of a universal, or unitive, Energy Knowable through its operations and culminating in effects; an inference arrived at by induction from the one fact, that there is no indication of a self-generative energy anywhere in Nature.

I wish to criticise a tendency of scientists, especially Spencer, of setting up straw men (figuratively) in order to knock them down, and thus to gain the eclat of the superficial and of the Philistines of knowl­edge.

I desire also to make a plea for a rugged, vigorous manhood, una­fraid to stand up to the consequences due to his own wrongful deeds, by accepting without flinching that which is his due without pleading the baby-act; an act to which a deaf ear is ever turned by inexorable Na­ture when a man is found guilty—knowingly or not—of violating her laws.

The convenient namby-pambyism of the day, to avoid the appear­ance of a fuss, is an indication of a canker beginning its attack on the vital processes upon which alone human ideals can become established. The absolute obedience to normal authority is the ideal, and if recognized as under the law of suasion by love—well! that is the highest and best. But there are some characters who have not arrived at that goal and need the more vigorous discipline of must, until Will conforms and meets the re­quirements of Law.

The writer grew up, from an early age, to exclusively commercia and industrial pursuits, having a limited experience in the fundamentals of education, yet possessing a fair degree of the faculty of observation and in early manhood strengthened his power of concentration of thought by de­veloping new forms of machinery whereby to install better methods along mechanical and industrial lines.

This occupation has been, moreover, favorable in creating an inter­est’which put him en rapport with anything that bears upon better methods of arriving at practical results. His interest has not been confined to me­chanical lines alone, but has broadened out into other lines of thought, con­ditioned, however, upon the same essential characteristics of accuracy de­manded by mechanical necessities in order to insure the desired effect and further that those thoughts have strengthened the belief that there exists a reason for every condition as well as for the means by which those condi­tions are brought about.

I have used, therefore, such language as seems to express the thought in mind most clearly; trusting that others may strike at, or, criti­cise the theory underlying the thought rather than the language, except that any suggestion as to it will be exceedingly welcome where it can pre­sent the thought more clearly to others.

I wish to state here a fact in favor of the habit of early observation and reflection; that this theory was originally suggested while at the sea­shore by desultory thoughts as to the many properties of water and of air, which thoughts extended also to other objects, as the fruits of the earth, their manner of production, &c., as suggested to me from an expe­rience when a small country boy.

This treatment of the subject should in no way be considered as a treatise, but as a statement of facts under personal experience and observa­tion, with deductions therefr om.

One more thought as bearing upon the entire subject:

It is the effort toward making the corporeal and spiritual natures of human existence to co-ordinate with their respective types, that gives Re­ligion its Sanction to demand that they be obedient to the laws of their re­lationships, as of Type to Type—a process which calls for the ever active consideration of the mental and moral faculties of the human race in order to fulfill their obligations under those relationships which none have a right to evade.

THE AUTHOR

THE SPIRITUELLE OF MATTER

Startling? Not if we can Comprehend its Significance!

In offering the following thoughts upon a new theory as to matter, with arguments in support thereof, I realize that it is difficult to make the thought clear by use of any existing ety­mology to express what I mean by "
