1 NO MORE SECONDHAND GOD
1Late tonight
2 (April 9, 1940)
3 I am just sitting here for one of the many reasons that people find themselves passionately isolated.
4 (The cause is rarely noble.)
5 In the midst of my overly self-emphatic thought
6 I say, suddenly,
7 (as most of us do):
8 imagine, realize, the preposterousness of your chagrin in the face of what is involved in the newspaper headline on the chair over there.
9 OSLO KEY BASES TAKEN BIG SEA AIR BATTLES ON World Telegram 7th Sports.
10 It’s no longer a phoney war but I don’t think about that nor do I think much about Oslo.
11 I think of such of the aviators and sailormen as
12 are in command of their faculties on both sides at this moment. Though you have been out in a froth-spitting squall on Long Island Sound or in an ocean liner on a burgeoning sea you have but a childlike hint of what a nineteen-year-old’s reaction is to the pitch black shrieking dark out there in the very cold northern elements of unloosening spring off Norway’s coast tonight
13 15,000 feet up, or fifty under or
14 worse, on the smashing face of it and here I see God.
15 I see God in the instruments and the mechanisms that work reliably, more reliably than the limited sensory departments of the human mechanism.
16 And he who is befuddled by self or by habit,
17 by what others say, by fear, by sheer chaos of unbelief in God and in God’s fundamental orderliness ticking along on those dials will perish.
18 And he who unerringly interprets those dials will come through.
19 And—thought-wise exploring further the possibilities of unerring interpretation I think of the strangest of paradoxes vouchsafed to, and by, man.
20 For most simply through paradox do I usually discover truth.
21 A sufficient light within a seemingly opaque black object may suddenly convert that object into a brilliant vari-colored lantern.
22 As a philosophic corollary: multifaceted truth is discovered
23 within the lantern of paradox whose contrasting colors are but angularly separated lines of the spectrum of the unit phenomenon, light,
24 only at differing
25 wave lengths and frequencies.
26 A new and translucently truth is thus lensed in all the colloidals to human necessity, such as drama and music, religion, fun, anger, war, prejudice, praise, as individually assumed personal virtues and relative proximity to God.
27Ecce!
28 all peoples divided against one another are in their digressions equally inverted and self-deceived in their respective tampered-with standards.
29 The degree of self-deception is proportional
30 to the width of the angle of disagreement,
31 and the greater that angle of stress, the greater the anger.
32 The greater the anger, the greater the susceptibility to further propaganda—a cancerous hate growth.
33 And all propaganda is false if merely by misemphasis. It is false because it approaches diametric unbalance, which scientifically speaking is chaotic.
34 Chaos is erosive, explosive, shattering, and therefore the antithesis of the only potential survival means of homo sapiens: through the harmonic integration of knowledge whose kinetic is universal.
35 Observe some paradoxes.
36 On the one hand the Germans and Russians preaching rule of the masses—National Socialism, atheism, paganism—are in fact the sole demonstrators of the importance of individualism.
37 For they employ individualism’s most cogent premise that the ship must have but one captain.
38 And as individuals they believe precisely in the survival superiority of mechanized man. But the organized church uncomprehending the mechanical extension of man says that such belief is pagan and the totalitarians accept the designation as true
39 and therefore proceed
40 with wanton conviction
41 to behave in the appropriate manner of a social outcast.
42 Thus ‘‘licensed’’ they invent
43 vast and ofttimes ludicrous
44 prevarications
45 as ballistic instruments.
46 They lie with as eager enthusiasm
47 as that applied to gunpowder and plane making.
48 And on the other hand the English and French though preaching Democracy, Individualism, and
49 Christianity
50 are the greatest progenitors of collectivism and paganism
51 for theirs is a corporate amorphous individualism
52 a legal entity individualism
53 of limited personal liabilities,
54 a shadowy industrial monopoly, a secondhand dictatorhood, soulless.
55 And its sovereign perfidies,
56 perpetrated usually through the negative tactics
57 of omission or misemphasis,
58 may reasonably be charged off to ‘‘impracticality’’—to ‘‘unwieldiness,’’
59 to ‘‘vagaries of custom,’’
60 to ‘‘sportsmanship,’’ to public ‘‘convenience,’’ or to ‘‘mystical traditions’’ incumbent upon the corporate Messiahood of sovereign nations.
61 And the machine is to them and their church but an inanimate, garagey sort of money pump.
62 Albeit,
63 the preaching individual of either side believes naively
64 in his own personal free will articulation and benevolence.
65 I say naively, because the war itself is the direct cumulative result of non-freedom of the will of the individual to articulate itself in the attainment of its obvious potentialities of better living on earth.
66 Children are not born slaves.
67 Slavehood is swiftly superimposed.
68 Now the inanimate slaves are here to take over but the animate slave complex is still virulent particularly
69 in the subconscious of managers.
70 And in the traditions they manage.
71 Wherefore total abolition apparently involves first burning down the old house, set on fire as an unbelievable clown-act which much to the amazement of the circus proprietors no one attempts to put out.
72 In the great quasi ‘‘democracies,’’
73 so far as the general scheming of things is concerned the individual no longer exists.
74 Mass production anticipates
75 the individual’s selective functioning.
76 Chain hotels mass-produce
77 mass-collected service suggestions
78 tendered on printed cards
79 by a mass-publicized unseen ‘‘cordial host,’’ who ofttimes a thousand miles away, sometimes long dead,
80 sometimes quite nonexistent
81 is ‘‘personally interested in you and your comfort,’’ at 200 of your cents on ‘‘his’’ dollar.
82 Here also as citizen
83 man is expressed only as a party machine
84 in the ‘‘body’’ politic,
85 and his government expresses a mean low average statistic ‘‘man.’’
86 Any social action, if at all,
87 is weeks, months, and years laggard
88 to the thinking frontier of the individual.
89 His hour, minute, and split second thinking
90 and vital selection
91 are most nearly interpreted
92 but nevertheless inadequately,
93 by the corporate cranium—‘‘Journalism,’’ industrialization’s limited-liability vocalizer.
94 And as capitalist or as inventor, or as worker in the democracies he is no longer individual for he is no longer effective as such. And he may only be flavoringly effective as one of the many merged riskers, researchers, believers, or laborers. No corporate expression expresses what he exactly means, and therein precisely lies the fate of Democracy.
95 Many people believe Democracy obsolete. They are wrong.
96 Obsolete is the one thing Democracy can never be, obstinate, obstreperous, observant, obscure, but—
97 I will explain. That is, I will if it’s Democracy you really wish to save, and not some trick you have been getting away with behind its kindly broad young back.
98 (If you don’t really believe in the world that is, but only in one to come, or one gone by, your best chance of finding such another is by walking out a very high window.)
99 If you do believe in the world that is, and wish to continue its development and are willing truly
100 to pay your way take a chance on Democracy.
101 You will find its highway plunk beneath your feet. Today’s sign posts along it are modern.
102 They say for instance:
103 If you wish to prove Democracy a preferential method of living don’t resort to Dictatorship to prove it. Thus have all the rest of the major nations allowed themselves to be bum’s-rushed into doing by panicked international finances.
104 Out of the method chosen in the time of emergency emerges the new survival way of peace time government.
105 Democracy has potential within it the satisfaction of every individual’s need.
106 But Democracy must be structurally modernized must be mechanically implemented to give it a one-individual-to-another speed and spontaneity of reaction commensurate with the speed and scope of broadcast news now world-wide in seconds.
107 Through mechanical developments of the industrial age
108 the cumulative production of human events
109 within the span of a four-year administration is now the quantitative equivalent of the events of a four-hundred-year pre-industrial dynasty.
110 But it is the producer salesman who has been super instrumented and merged into a tinker colossus, a Pan-Continental
111 blacksmith, baker, and light maker.
112 Democracy must, as consumer and worker, as soldier and mother, as scientist, or simple enjoyer, be made adequate cathode to the mighty merged anode.
113 Devise a mechanical means for nation-wide voting daily and secretly by each adult citizen of Uncle Sam’s family: Then—I assure you will Democracy ‘‘be saved,’’ indeed exist, for the first time in history.
114 This is a simple mechanical problem involving but fractional effort of that involved in distributing the daily mails to the nation.
115 Telephone talks in the U.S. each day are three times the number of votes which were cast for President
116 in the record election year.
117 Electrified voting as bride to our most prodigal wildcat broadcasting and beloved son—journalism, promises a household efficiency superior to any government of record because it incorporates not only the speed of decision which is the greatest strength of the dictator, (a boon if he’s godly, a death-ray if he is not)
118 but additional advantages which can never be his.
119 Additional advantages of electrified voting first coming to mind:
- 1.
- Provides an instantaneous contour map of the workable frontier of the people’s wisdom,
120 for purposes of legislation.
121 administration, future exploration, and debate, so that neither over nor under
122 estimate may occur,
123 of their will and ability.
- 2.
- Certifies spontaneous popular co-operation
124 in the carrying out of each decision.
- 3.
- Allows for continuous correction of the course, or even complete reaction,
125 should (and as) experience indicate desirability, without political scapegoating.
- 4.
- No foreign power in the world can stand up against
126 the unified might thus invoked through the thrilling mystical awareness of multi-millions of individuals that they personally have taken responsibility for the course, and that their own inward secret moral decision coincides with the majority in the application of their mutual strength, (vast now in U.S.A. by the will of God beyond any in history) in the righteous salvation of the peoples of the earth.
- 5.
- The credit and imagination
127 of all outside peoples of the world
128 will be so stimulated that nothing will stop them short of attaining a line to that voice.
129 But so to do
130 they must join up with Democracy.
- 6.
- The possibility mathematically
131 of effective abuse through cheating
132 is nil.
133 I venture to say that the self-policing
134 by the honor system
135 spontaneously invoked
136 would make the fate of horse thieves
137 or snatchers of absent-news vendors’ pennies
138 frivolous by comparison.
139 No block or pressure group
140 that is not a constitutional enemy
141 could consider running the risk of ‘‘stuffing.’’
142 The direct votes of any subversive enemy to
143 Democracy within
144 the U.S. would be inconsequential in number—would eventually disappear in such a system.
- 7.
- It cuts right across
145 all red-tape of legal precedent
146 and any question of constitutionality, and
147 may be started extra-mural to the constitution
148 while getting out the bugs,
149150for instance by Charlie McCarthy, and Clifton Fadiman, script by ‘‘Time Questions,’’ sponsored by Coca-Cola. Someday to be constitutionally adopted when tuned up.
- 8.
- The economic credit base is self-contained.
- 9.
- As direct evolution it cancels
151 the possibility of revolution.
152 Accomplishment of this VOICE
153 must be a deed of organized responsibility of the U.S. press in its broadest sense.
154 If having tried it, a modernized, electrified, direct Democracy proves inferior as a survival means against all-comers, then may the people turn with contentment to the superior means.
155 But if direct Democracy is not tried now, future generations will again champion it, and there will be world civil wars until it receives adequate trial.
156 I believe America has now won the right to be first to try Democracy that it is both sufficiently experienced and intellectually developed to provide a safety factor margin which can insure success after all deductions: for bitter hardship of mental and physical stress; for surprise, and panic;
157 and most importantly for gross error.
158 But whatever America’s choice—I go with it with heart and soul for its sagacity and time sense I believe infallible.
159 Yes, I can see how that would be a superior means of government, but there is still something essential and bigger which we first must consider; without which one, or infinity, of life cell organisms is but frightful matter—and that is rebirth of
160 OUR FAITH—
161 In a direction;
162163In comprehendible meaning no matter how meager
164that checks with our daily thought with our most random soliloquy;
165that implicitly tingles in our fingers and toes, and gladdens the vision;
166that even is singing in me as I catch at a new popular song.
167Faith, far, far more precise in meaning than the academicians’
168‘‘nonanthropomorphic’’ designation of God, and with none of the popular vagueness of Einstein’s epochal
169‘‘cosmic religious sense,’’
170yet embodying all that is important of those concepts, not down or up written, but translated to a living
171workable spontaneity that requires no answer from
172others or books.
173An all sense exciting, all reason inspiriting
174Faith in omnipotent justice omniscient love always attending with infinite wisdom.
175There is of course the church—today a big-three monopoly of credos—a coalesced ‘‘Roman, Protestant and Jewish,’’ big business,
176 its back to the wall.
177178Irrespective of its past values to faith the church is now but a convenient compromise to divert the pressure of fear’s escape through the perpetuated waterwheel of the re-manufacture of all useless contrivances of which the individual would personally divest himself but for nostalgic ramifications.
179The church,
180once the largest and busiest of community structures, now exists only as a memorial
181to the necessity of a special building for God,
182so that a compromise ‘‘He’’ need not interrupt business in the latter’s over-towering houses on the six days of the week that are not ‘‘His,’’ yet be on hand
183to broadcast ‘‘the right stuff’’ on the seventh, while the boys go off golfing.
184The church is also security-capital’s nontaxable hostage against mobile Democracy’s eventful discard of ‘‘real’’ property—the perpetual debt base, that persistent static in the otherwise high fidelity reception of industrial democracy economics.
185In the totalitarian states conversely all Messianic credit is, caro name! allocated to the supreme living individual symbolically centralized in one—‘‘Our Father who art in Berlin, Moscow, Madrid, and Rome’’ simultaneously—the end all of anthropomorphic religion.
186And the supreme individual is never a pretty god and he is funny when he goes by special train to meet himself coming the other way through a mountain pass and shakes hands with his absurd reflection.
187But all of importance here to me tonight are two reactions—one negative, the other positive.
188 First, that both sides have allegiance to fallacy—and the individuals of each side are forced to esoterica and to personal exemptions from all law, scientific or moral though the laws are clearly mirrored to each individual as essential for all others but self (well, maybe not for the sweetie).
189 And positively:
190 That tonight vividly (as tacitly always) God is articulating through his universally reliable laws.
191 Laws pigeonholed by all of us under topics starkly ‘‘scientific’’ —behavior laws graphically maintained in the performance of impersonal instruments and mechanics pulsing in super sensorial frequencies which may serve yellow, black red, white, or pink with equal fidelity.
192 And I see conscious man alone as mechanically fallible and progressively less reliable in personal articulation of God’s ever swifter word, which was indeed in the beginning. Only as mind-over-matterist,
193194as philosopher, scientist, and informed technician
195 impersonally and universally preoccupied
196 is man infallible.
197 For the oral and written word
198 was but the haphazard infant
199 of the ever more precise
200 modern instrumental articulation
201 of communicable comprehension.
202 We know this to be true
203204because mechanisms can only perform successfully, their ever more superhuman and untiring precision of communication of truth
205in proportional degree to their engineered adherence to, and interpretation of,
206 universal laws,
207208which though sometimes couched in poetry are always essentially scientific.
209 As minor testament
210211witness the two-hundred-inch telescope as it proceeds to reveal a known universe at least eight times as great as yesterday’s and the electronic microscope
212 which now begins the revelation
213 of fundamental minutiae
21421550,000 times finer than the best light (or eyesight) microscope,
216 and the actual achievement of atomic energy,
217218released and controllable.
219These wondrous actualities were always there, inherent in the universe of a god of meaning, but only now through the impersonal ‘‘word’’ of these scientific instruments does God speak of them to our widening comprehension.
220I knew in a sense that they were there.
221 So did you.
222223But neither of us knew that the other knew until we could ‘‘say’’ to each other, ‘‘There they are precisely identified.’’ Only finite adherence to stark laws of science made this possible.
224And God says observe the paradox of man’s creative potentials and his destructive tactics.
225He could have his new world through sufficient love for ‘‘all’s fair’’ in love as well as in war which means you can junk as much rubbish, skip as many stupid agreements by love,
226spontaneous unselfishness radiant.
227Think it over—I was amazed and despite all inertia impelled to write—and many may have written it earlier and better -without my knowledge.
228In fact I’m sure they have, but I’m writing this and that is important, that is God at firsthand.
229 Never before has neutral
230231looked on with such unprejudiced willingness to evaluate, adjust, and comprehend.
232Never before has neutral so powerful looked on. Never before has neutral by virtue of a myriad of instruments been so keenly aware
233of every little hamlet upon the face of the globe, so intimately near to them—
234yet at the same time so duck’s-backed to broadcast falsehood or half truth.
235These are innocuous in the magnificent mechanical extension . . .
236People of the United States, (I believe the vast majority of them) who are at present especially staked out to be fooled in a big way, which is vitally and mortally, by all the warring or plotting factions foreign and domestic,
237 are precisely those who alone remain unmoved.
238 It is these silent propagandees who unerringly appraise the pro- or anti-social values of each world event;
239 of each communique;
240 and even of each personal happening at other times trivial:
241 as these too may shade the outcome values of man’s transition
242 from dominant self-deceit
243 to preponderant self-mastery;
244 from stomach rule to dictate of reason; from politicians tricking
245 to scientific guidance;
246 from a fear to a happy comprehension motivation.
247 And because he is innately aware of these things, does man evade past snares—steel himself against artful pathos; welcome the speedy destruction of those former barriers to world happiness which have been humanly insuperable without fracture
248 by any individual member of the old order, from annihilist to deacon, from clerk to Prime Minister, no matter how distinguished by courage and integrity.
249250But now common man has implicit faith in common man; can safely negotiate a roadway with any unknown other man—even passing each other at one hundred and forty miles an hour in opposite directions—has only been prevented from intercommunicating that faith directly, but now is willing to wager all on mutual effective comprehension at the crucial moment—will not be shamed out of his faith by attempts to falsely identify him—has weighed his distress over concentrate frightfulness of an exquisite moment against unending elusive and unmitigated greater suffering.
251The revolution has come—set on fire from the top. Let it burn swiftly.
252Neither the branches, trunk, nor roots will be endangered.
253Only last year’s leaves and the parasite-bearded moss and orchids will not be there
254 when the next spring brings fresh growth and free standing flowers.
255 Man now vastly instrumented and attendant upon universal laws in his ‘‘blind’’ flying through life will give ever less heed to the seat-of-the-pants opinions of personal equation aces for he knows it was those detonations which formerly misguided him into his betrayal by selfish scheming.
256 Here is true world democracy in the swift making; a democracy which socializes all plenty as that plenty is wrested from scarcity by world-widening co-operative industry;
257 a democracy which, scientifically seeking categorical validity for all the motivations, taxes only inertia
258 and awards copiously its individuals who radiantly expand the commonwealth; awarding them out of the newly integrated wealth captured from the unseen fresh fruits of the limitless environment—
259 and not by the slightest impoverishment of commonwealth, either by mortgage
260 or individual indebtedness.
261262Here is God’s purpose—for God, to me, it seems, is a verb not a noun, proper or improper; is the articulation not the art, objective or subjective; is loving, not the abstraction ‘‘love’’ commanded or entreated; is knowledge dynamic, not legislative code, not proclamation law, not academic dogma, nor ecclesiastic canon. Yes, God is a verb, the most active, connoting the vast harmonic reordering of the universe from unleashed chaos of energy. And there is born unheralded a great natural peace, not out of exclusive pseudo-static security but out of including, refining, dynamic balancing. Naught is lost. Only the false and nonexistent are dispelled.
263And I’ve thought through to tomorrow which is also today.
264The telephone rings and you say to me Hello Buckling this is Christopher; or
265 Daddy it’s Allegra; or
266 Mr. Fuller this is the Telephone Company Business Office;
267 and I say you are inaccurate.
268 Because I knew you were going to call
269 and furthermore I recognize
270 that it is God who is ‘‘speaking.’’
271 And you say
272 aren’t you being fantastic?
273 And knowing you I say no.
274 At least a quarter of a billion people sit quietly each day for hours in darkened halls.
275 And they say they are ‘‘at the movies’’ not looking at anyone or anything real. They certainly don’t see the screen.
276 I say they are looking at God.
277 Incalculable millions of people sit isolated and silent.
278 And say they are listening to
279 Josephine Baker swinging or
280 Raymond Gram Swing of course not really, but really;
281 and I say they are listening to God.
282 And the journalists tell me
283 that Hitler is blitzkrieging over the earth.
284 And I say that is the greatest
285 understatement in history
286 for it is God
287 now doing the housecleaning
288 and making the necessary renovations
289 in a hell of a hurry because
290291we personally failed to make them in everyday ways in our own time and there is now only half a world left, and one-half of our time remaining in which to
292 ‘‘let our hair all the way down’’
293294and say, ‘‘We have plenty, we have the means, the ability, the knowledge. Let us start the mechanism
295 to creative account;
296 not to vast and vaster destruction.’’
297 ‘‘Let us not subscribe to remedy by amputation—
298 first of all of our heads.’’
299300Let us say to the East and West and the North and the South
301to its now reality spokesmen, ‘‘Here is our helping hand forget your fighting.
302 Let’s put things to rights.
303304We’ll take care of the inconsequential accounting when mankind has been salvaged if you insist on accounting;
305 for we won’t!’’
306 That is the active, realistic loving of this one moment in all time.
307 No one in America will say that its leader is overstepping his authorized bounds if he takes sincere, forthright, and adequately big steps to accomplish world healing.
308 God will be handling the radio-telegraph for such a mandated dictatorship; and Democracy is not challenged by such a dictator whose very first move must and will be tidal-waved with Demos authority.
309 Stop ‘‘calling names’’ names that are meaningless;
310 you can’t suppress God by killing off people which are, physically, only trans-ceiver mechanisms through which God is broadcasting.
311 But his requirement is dynamic and if man-mechanism proves too inefficient as an invention he will immediately devise a cataclysmic improvement.
312POSTSCRIPT (1961)
313 Because scientists today are specialists rather than generalists, they have tended to avoid consideration
314 of the total significance of their interrelated work.
315316The recent decade’s evolution of science finds its specialists continually surprised to discover their respective specializations bringing them into unexpected proximity to other specializations theretofore considered almost infinitely remote.
317We have come to the era of the hyphenated sciences—bio-chemistry, mathematical-physics, physio-chemistry. Suddenly the chemist and physicist discover that they are both dealing essentially with the atom. So they now agree to divide their common field and the physicist deals with the internal affairs and the chemist with the external affairs of the atom.
318Biology which used to think of itself as concerned fundamentally with cells next found itself concerned with the chemists’ molecules and now discovers that it must look to the atoms of which the molecules are formed.
319The next decades will see
320the thus inadvertently integrating scientists becoming surprisingly aware of the total inter-relationship
321of the macro-micro, universe-exploring sciences.
322With the integrating awareness and its synergetic appreciations
323 by the chemico physicists
324 will come a new era of philosophy.
325 In these coming decades
326 the scientists will express their amazed discovery
327 not only of the total orderliness
328 discovered throughout universe
329 but also of the total interrelatedness
330331and nonsimultaneous inter accommodation regularities of universal evolution.
332 Men used to say
333 that man the scientist brought order out of chaps.
334 The scientists are about to discover
335 that all that was chaotic
336 was in man’s illiterate and bewildered
337 imagination and fearful ignorance.
338 Wherever and whenever men
339 have explored with scientific integrity
340 they have reported the discovery
341342of the exquisite orderliness of patterning of dynamically evoluting nature.
343 Scientific man is then about to discover
344 a comprehensive integrity
345346manifest of the highest order of intellectual differentiation
347 and anticipatory conceptioning.
348 This comprehensive intellectual integrity may be logically symbolized by the integral yclept God, as the synergetic totality of universal chemistry’s behavior unpredicted by the behavior of any of its parts or sub-assemblies of its parts.
349 Inasmuch as all men are trending to become scientific, this will mean that all men will also trend toward discovery of the comprehensive, orderly, nonsimultaneously interaccommodative, integrity of universe in which the energy of the physical portion of universe is total and integral
350 and though infinitely differentiable locally can neither be created nor lost and in which finitely combined physical and metaphysical universe a law of conservation of intellection will also obtain
351 whereby intellect as the metaphysical portion of universe will also be total and integral—
352 and though infinitely differentiable locally intellect can neither be created nor lost.
353 Thus will emerge an entirely new philosophical era of man on earth.
354 All religions we have known have been sustained by the arbitrarily adopted or inculcated credit (credo—belief) of individuals who have not themselves made direct discovery, or unique intuitive apprehension, of the universe’s intellectual integrity superstitiously accorded by the blindfolded believers
355 to the few individuals of high intellectual lucidity and extraordinary self-discipline who have dedicated themselves to their intuitive anticipation
356 of the now scientifically emerging realization of the comprehensive integrity of total information.
357 All organized religions of |he past were inherently developed as beliefs and credits in ‘‘second hand’’ information.
358 Therefore it will be an entirely new era when man finds himself confronted with direct experience with an obviously a priori intellectually anticipatory competence that has interordered all that he is discovering.
359 With this discovering will vanish all concepts of a universe originating out of chaos, out of a ‘‘primordial ooze.’’
360 There will dawn an awareness of the integral significance of man being born subconsciously co-ordinate as a billion-fold complex patterning later to consciously discover that there are no ponderable, smallest, hard-core, ‘‘thing’’ particles only abstract, frequency events and that negative matter is co-equal with positive matter and that equilibrium between positive and negative is zero.
361 Man will discover that he is dealing intellectually in a universe of intellectually differentiated co-operative yet nonsimultaneous equations governing the interrelationships of purely abstract principles, no more, no less.
