1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,920
Speaker 2: Thought in action.

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,639
Speaker 1: Without attempting to go into details or to enter into explanations,

3
00:00:05,719 --> 00:00:08,599
the writer proposes taking his readers on a flying trip

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,400
through the region of thought and action, or dynamic thought

5
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:14,800
and operation in human life. The details of this fascinating

6
00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:17,480
region must be left for another and more extended visit

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,120
and our next book before mentioned, which will be called

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,519
The Wonders of the Mind. But he thinks that even

9
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:25,719
this flying trip will prove of interest and instruction. Let

10
00:00:25,839 --> 00:00:28,879
us start with a hasty look at man himself, not

11
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:31,839
to speak of his seven planes of mind, which belongs

12
00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:35,280
to the next visit. We find him a very interesting object.

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,000
Not only has he a physical body apparent to our senses,

14
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,600
but he has also a finer or astral body, which

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,320
he may use unconsciously or consciously when he learns how

16
00:00:46,759 --> 00:00:49,920
for little excursions away from the body during his lifetime.

17
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,439
This astral body is composed of substance, just as his

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,640
denser physical body. The field and range of substance extends

19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,640
far beyond the powers of ordinary vision, as even the

20
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:05,560
materialists must admit when they talk of radiant matter, ethereal substance,

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,480
et cetera. Then he has currents of fine force coursing

22
00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:12,319
through his nervous system, which may be seen by those

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,159
possessing astral vision. If the teaching of the occultist be true,

24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,319
then he, like the particle, has an aura or egg

25
00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:24,200
shaped projection of mind and fine particles of cycoplasm, which

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,640
has been thrown off in the process of thought, and

27
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,959
which clusters around him, producing a mental atmosphere which constantly

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000
surrounds him and makes itself felt by those coming in

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,719
his presence. Those who read these words may remember readily

30
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,480
the feeling they have experienced when coming in contact with

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,040
certain people. How some radiated in an atmosphere of cheerfulness, brightness,

32
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:49,000
et cetera, while others radiated the very opposite. Some radiate

33
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,560
a feeling of energy, activity, et cetera, while others manifest

34
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,319
just the reverse. Many likes and dislikes between people meeting

35
00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:59,359
for the first time arise in this way, each finding

36
00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:03,120
in the mental apps atmosphere of the other, some inharmonious element.

37
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:07,439
These radiations are perceived by others coming into their range.

38
00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:10,360
Occultists tell us that the character of a man's thought

39
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:13,840
vibrations may be determined by certain colors which are visible

40
00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:17,360
to those having astral sight. There is nothing so wonderful

41
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,199
about this when it is remembered that the various colors

42
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:23,759
of light comprising the visible colors of the spectrum, ranging

43
00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:28,039
from red on through orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and

44
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,840
terminating in violet, arise simply from different rates of vibration

45
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,680
of the particles of substance, And as the thought is

46
00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:38,639
produced by mind causing vibrations in the cycoplasm, why is

47
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:42,479
not the astra colors reasonable? We cannot stop to consider

48
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,520
these colors in detail, but may run over the ones

49
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,960
corresponding to each marked emotion of thought, as reported by

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,879
the occult teachings. For instance, the shade of the thought

51
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,479
manifesting in physical or organic functions is of a colorless

52
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,840
white or color of clear water, and the color of

53
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:03,439
the thought manifesting in fine force or vital energy is

54
00:03:03,479 --> 00:03:06,800
that of air heated air arising from a furnace or

55
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,080
heated ground when it emerges from the body, although of

56
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,719
a faint pink when in the body itself, black represents hate, malice,

57
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:19,680
et CETERA gray bright shade represents selfishness, while gray of

58
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:25,639
a dark, dull shade represents fear. Green represents jealousy, deceit, treachery,

59
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,479
and similar motions, ranging from the dull shades which characterize

60
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,319
the lower and cruder forms, to the bright shades, which

61
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,039
characterize the finer or more delicate forms of tact, politeness,

62
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:41,240
and diplomacy, et cetera. Red, dull shade represents sensuality and

63
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,080
animal passion, while red bright and vivid represents anger. Crimson

64
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,199
in varying shades represents the phases of love, brown represents

65
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,319
avarice or greed, orange represents pride and ambition, and yellow

66
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,479
in varying shades represent grades of intellectual power. Blue is

67
00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:01,240
the color of the religious thoughts, ranging, however, through a

68
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,879
great variety of stages, from the dull shade of superstitious

69
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:08,840
religious belief to the beautiful violet of the highest religion, emotion,

70
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,800
or thought. What is generally known as spirituality is characterized

71
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,719
by a light blue of a peculiar luminous shade. Just

72
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:18,519
as there are ultra red or ultraviolet rays in the

73
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,920
spectrum which the eye cannot perceive, so ocultest inform us,

74
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,040
there are colors in the aura or a mental atmosphere

75
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:29,120
of a person of unusual psychic or a cult development

76
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,079
the ultraviolet rays indicating the thought of one who is

77
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,000
pursuing the higher planes of a cult thought and unfoldment,

78
00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:39,519
while the ultra red is evidenced by those possessing a

79
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,439
cult development, but who are using the same for base

80
00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:46,160
and selfish purposes black magic. In fact, there are other

81
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,399
shades known to occultist indicating several highly developed states of mind,

82
00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:53,439
but it is needless to mention them here. But the

83
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,399
influence of these particles of thought stuff thrown off from

84
00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:59,920
the mind psychoplasm under the vibrations produced by the mo

85
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,800
during the process of thought, does not cease what the

86
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,560
phenomena surrounding the aura. They are radiated to a considerable

87
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,839
distance and produce a number of effects. Particles are thrown

88
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,959
off in great quantities, each vibrating at the rate imparted

89
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000
to it during the process. No, these particles of thought

90
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:18,959
stuff do not compose the thought waves. The latter belong

91
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,519
to a different set of phenomena. These particles of vibrating

92
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,079
thought stuff fly off from the brain of the thinker

93
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:28,000
in all directions and affect other persons who may come

94
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,959
in contact with them.

95
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: There is an important rule here, however, and.

96
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:34,639
Speaker 1: That is that they seem to be attracted by those

97
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,879
minds which are vibrating in similar thought rates with themselves,

98
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,600
and are but feebly attracted and in some cases actually

99
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:45,519
repelled by minds vibrating on opposite lines of thought like

100
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,360
attracts like in the thought world, and birds of a

101
00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:52,639
feather flock together. Here as elsewhere, some of these particles

102
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:55,600
of thought stuff are still in existence, in vibrating which

103
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:59,040
proceeded from the minds of persons long since dead, the

104
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,000
same being aditis or thrown off during the lifetime of

105
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,639
the persons. However, just as a distant star which was

106
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,839
destroyed hundreds of years ago may have emitted rays which

107
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,160
are only now reaching our vision years after the destruction

108
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,160
of the star which.

109
00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 2: Omitted them, and just as an.

110
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: Odor will remain in a room after the object causing

111
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,040
it has departed, the particles still remaining and vibrating. And

112
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,439
just as a stove removed from a room may leave

113
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:27,600
heat vibrations behind it, so do these particles persist, vibrate,

114
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,600
and influence other minds long after the person who caused

115
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,680
them may have passed out of the body. In this way, rooms, houses, neighborhoods,

116
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,680
and localities may vibrate with the thoughts of people who

117
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,439
lived there long ago, who have since passed away or removed.

118
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,920
These vibrations affect people living in these places to a

119
00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:49,959
greater or lesser extent, depending upon circumstances, but they may

120
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,519
always be counteracted or changed if they are of undesirable

121
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,279
nature by setting upon positive vibrations on a different plane

122
00:06:57,319 --> 00:06:59,839
of mind or character of thought. The mind of a

123
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,920
thinker is constantly emitting or throwing off these particles of

124
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:06,319
thought stuff, the distance and rate of speed to and

125
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,240
by which they travel being determined by the force used

126
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,399
in their production, there being a great difference between the

127
00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:15,120
thought of a vigorous thinker and that emanating from a weak,

128
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:19,319
listless mind. These projections of thought stuff have a tendency

129
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,959
to mingle with others of a corresponding rate of vibration,

130
00:07:22,279 --> 00:07:25,879
depending upon the character of the thought. Some remain around

131
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,560
the places where they were emitted, while others float off

132
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:30,920
like clouds and obey the law of attraction which draws

133
00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:34,600
them to persons thinking along similar lines. The characteristics of

134
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,560
cities arise in this way, the general average of thought

135
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,160
of their inhabitants, causing a corresponding thought atmosphere to hang

136
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,639
over and around it, which atmosphere is distinctly felt by

137
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,199
visitors and often determines the mental character of the persons

138
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,040
residing there in spite of their previous characteristics, that is,

139
00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:55,680
unless they understand the laws of thought. Some neighborhoods also

140
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,040
have their own peculiar mental atmosphere, as all may have

141
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:02,399
noticed if they have visited certain tough neighborhoods on the

142
00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:05,839
one hand, and neighborhoods of an opposite kind on the other.

143
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,199
Certain kinds of thoughts and actions seem to be contagious

144
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,959
in certain places, and they are those who do not

145
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,800
understand the law. Certain shops seem to have their own atmosphere,

146
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,639
some reflecting confidence and honest dealing, and others radiating an

147
00:08:19,639 --> 00:08:22,759
atmosphere that causes patrons to hold tightly to their pocketbooks

148
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,199
and in some extreme cases, to be certain that their

149
00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:30,360
buttons are tightly sewed on their garments. Yes, places, like people,

150
00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:33,399
have their distinctive mental atmospheres, and both arise from the

151
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,039
same cause. And each person draws to himself these particles

152
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,639
of vibrating thought stuff corresponding with the general mental attitude

153
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,080
maintained by him. If one harbors feelings of malice, he

154
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:46,720
will find thoughts of malice, revenge, hate, etc.

155
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,639
Speaker 2: Pouring in upon him.

156
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,279
Speaker 1: He has made himself a center of attraction and has

157
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:55,399
set the law into operation. His only safe course is

158
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,679
to resolutely change his thought vibrations. A most remarkable form

159
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,000
of the use these particles of thought stuff is evidenced

160
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,519
in the case of what are known among occultist as

161
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,480
thought forms, which are aggregations of particles of thought stuff

162
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,759
energized by intense and positive thought, and which are sent

163
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:15,240
out with such intensity and positiveness that they are almost

164
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,200
vitalized and manifest almost the same degree of mental influence

165
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,279
that would be manifested by the cinder if he were

166
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,559
present where they are. This highly interesting phase of the

167
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,039
subject would take many chapters to describe in detail, and

168
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,919
we must content ourselves with a mere passing view. To

169
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,720
those who are interested in the subject. The writer would

170
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,879
say that he proposes considering them at considerable length in

171
00:09:37,919 --> 00:09:40,879
the forthcoming book The Wonders of the Mind, which has

172
00:09:40,919 --> 00:09:45,039
been alluded to elsewhere. Besides the operation of these particles

173
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,720
of thought stuff emitted during the production of thought, there

174
00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:50,840
are many other phases of thought influence or thought in action.

175
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,720
The principal phase of this phenomena arises from the working

176
00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:57,320
of the law of attraction between the respective minds of

177
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,080
different people. Just as there are particles of substance united

178
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,000
and connected by lines of connection, so are the minds

179
00:10:04,039 --> 00:10:07,639
of men connected, and the strong pool of desire manifest

180
00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:10,600
along these lines, just as it does in the case

181
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:11,320
of the atoms.

182
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:13,639
Speaker 2: There has been much written of.

183
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,879
Speaker 1: Recent years regarding this drawing power of the mind, and

184
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,679
although some of what has been written is the veriest

185
00:10:19,799 --> 00:10:23,240
rubbish and nonsense, yet under it all there remains a

186
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:28,080
strong form, substantial substratum of fact and truth. Men do

187
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:31,559
attract success and failure to them. People do attract things

188
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,080
to them as strangers. That may seem to the person

189
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,759
who has not acquainted himself with the laws of underlying

190
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,960
the phenomenon. There is no miracle about all of this.

191
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,639
It is simply that the law of attraction is in

192
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,919
full operation, and that people of similar thoughts are drawn

193
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,240
together by reason. Thereof, The workings of this law are

194
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:52,399
somewhat intricate, but all of us are constantly using them,

195
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,960
consciously or unconsciously. We draw to ourselves that which we desire.

196
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,240
Very much or that which we fear very much year

197
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,960
is a belief and acts in the direction of actualizing

198
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,600
itself sometimes but again, as Kipling would say, but that's

199
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:10,960
another story. This phase of the subject is a mighty

200
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,919
subject in itself, and the half has not been told

201
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,679
even by the many who have written of it. The

202
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,440
writer intends to try to remedy the deficiency in his

203
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,279
next book. However, then again, the excitement of thought in

204
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,399
the minds of people may be transmitted or communicated to

205
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,399
the minds of others, and a similar vibration set up

206
00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:33,960
under certain conditions and subject to certain restraining influences, just

207
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,399
as in the case of the particles of substances in

208
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,000
a body or massive substance, and in many ways that

209
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,799
will suggest themselves to the reader who has mastered the

210
00:11:42,799 --> 00:11:45,960
contents of the earlier chapters of this book. The phenomena

211
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:48,480
of dynamic thought in the case of the atoms and

212
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,679
particles may be and are duplicated in the case of

213
00:11:51,759 --> 00:11:55,600
individual minds of men. The reader will see readily that

214
00:11:55,639 --> 00:11:58,279
this theory of dynamic thought, and the facts noted in

215
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,559
the consideration thereof give an intelligent explanation for the respective

216
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:08,080
phenomena of hypnotism, mesmerism, suggestion, thought, transference to lepathy, et cetera,

217
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,039
as well as of mental healing, magnetic healing, et cetera,

218
00:12:12,519 --> 00:12:16,360
all of which are manifestations of dynamic thought. Not only

219
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,759
do we see, as Prentice Molfort said, that thoughts are things,

220
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,840
but we may see just why they are things, and

221
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,759
we may see and understand the laws of their production

222
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,519
and operation. This theory of dynamic thought will throw light

223
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,600
into many dark corners and make plain many hard sayings

224
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,600
that have perplexed you in the past. The writer believes

225
00:12:36,639 --> 00:12:38,440
that it gives us the key to many of the

226
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,360
great riddles of life.

227
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: This theory has come to stay.

228
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: It is no ephemeral thing doomed to die a borning.

229
00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:49,679
It will be taken up by others, impolished and added to,

230
00:12:50,159 --> 00:12:53,679
and shaped and decorated, but the fundamental principles will stand

231
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,279
the stress of time and men. Of this, the writer

232
00:12:56,399 --> 00:12:59,559
feels assured. It may be laughed at at first, not

233
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,440
only by the man on the street, but also by

234
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,600
the scientist, but it will outlive this, and in time

235
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:08,480
will come to its own, perhaps long after the writer

236
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,399
in the book have been forgotten. This must be so,

237
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,039
for the idea of dynamic thought underlies the entire universe,

238
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:18,399
and is the cause of all phenomena. Not only is

239
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,080
all that we see as life and mind as substance

240
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,200
illustrations of the law, but even that which lies back

241
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,120
of these things must evidence the same law. Is it

242
00:13:27,159 --> 00:13:30,440
too daring a conception to hazard the thought that perhaps

243
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,200
the universe itself is the result of the dynamic thought

244
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,919
of the infinite. Oh, dynamic thought, we see in THEE

245
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,399
the instrument by which all form and shape are created, changed,

246
00:13:40,399 --> 00:13:44,080
and destroyed. We see in THEE the source of all energy, force,

247
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:44,559
and motion.

248
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,159
Speaker 2: We see THEE.

249
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: Always present and everywhere, present, and always in action. Fairly,

250
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,720
thou art life in action. Thou art the embodiment of

251
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,519
action and motion, of which Zidel hath said. Wherever our

252
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,919
eyes dwell on the universe, whithersoever we are carried in

253
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:08,879
the flight of thought, Everywhere we find motion. Suns, planets, worlds, bodies, atoms,

254
00:14:08,919 --> 00:14:13,440
and particles move and act at thy bidding, amidst all

255
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,480
the change of substance, among the play of forces and

256
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,120
among and amidst all the results therefrom There art thou

257
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,720
unchanged and constant, as though fresh from the hand of

258
00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:28,039
the infinite. Thou hast maintained thy vigor and strength and

259
00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:32,399
power throughout the aeons of time, And likewise space has

260
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,840
no terrors for THEE. For thou hast mastered it. Thou

261
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,679
art a symbol of the power of the infinite. Thou

262
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,360
art its message to doubting man. Let us close this

263
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,879
book with the thought of the greatness of this thing

264
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,960
that we call dynamic thought, which great as it is,

265
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,480
is but as the shadow of the absolute power of

266
00:14:51,519 --> 00:14:54,759
the infinite one, which is the causeless cause and the

267
00:14:54,799 --> 00:14:58,360
causer of causes. And in thus parting company, reader, let

268
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,000
us murmur the words of the German who has sung,

269
00:15:02,159 --> 00:15:03,720
dost thou ask for rest?

270
00:15:04,519 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: See then, how.

271
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,639
Speaker 1: Foolish is thy desire? The stern yoke of motion holds

272
00:15:08,679 --> 00:15:13,200
and harness the whole universe. Nowhere in this age canst

273
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,440
thou ever find rest, And no power can deliver THEE

274
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,639
from the doom of activity. Rest is not to be found,

275
00:15:19,679 --> 00:15:22,480
either in heaven or on earth. And from death and

276
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,120
dying break forth new growth, new birth. All the life

277
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:30,360
of nature is an ocean of activity. Following on her

278
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,360
footsteps without ceasing, Thou must march forward with the hole,

279
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,919
Even the dark portal of death gives thee no rest,

280
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,120
And out of thy coffin will spring blossoms of a

281
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:41,799
new life.
