have thus stated the principal facts connected with tins complicated
phenomenon, and the causes to which they are generally attributed. And
yet it is not certain that the philosophy of tides is to this day fully
understood. La Place, the great French mathematician and astronomer,
pronounced it one of the most difficult problems in the whole range of
celestial mechanics. It is probable that the atmosphere of our globe has
its tides, as well as the waters ; but we have no means, as yet, for

would be easy to show — if this were the proper place for it — that
unless an Immaterial Power continually re-excited motion in the material
universe, all motion would stop in a very short time — perhaps in less
than an hour — except that the planets would run out in right-lined
directions ; and then nothing would ensue but confusion, darkness,
silence, and chaos. Página 205 - How
singular that modern science is just now revealing to us the great fact
that the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat... Página 321 - ...
no doubt but the spirit must have been developed, in the inorganic
atom, and prepared to unite with the living organism, and in this
condition is preparing for still further advancement and growth. When we
learn that the spirit entities are the real existences, that are
clothed with organic forms, we shall find a key that will unlock much
that has been dark and mysterious in regard to the origin and
multitudinous changes that have taken place in the lower forms of
organic life. Darwin has labored... Página 148 - ...
assist in working out the grand purposes of those powers and
principalities who seem to exert a controlling influence over all*
earthly things. There cannot be any more chance work connected with
these phenomena than with the operations of any other portion of the
realms of nature. It is not by chance that spring and summer, autumn and
winter, succeed each other in the periodical revolutions of the earth,
or that the lightning flashes are beheld in the heavens, and their
reverberating explosions... Página 9 - ...
vain. INTRODUCTION. The central idea contained in the following work
and the one that most of these chapters are designed to substantiate is.
that this globe is constructed in the form of a hollow sphere, with a
shell some thirty to forty miles in thickness, and that the interior
surface which is a beautiful world in a more highly developed condition
than the exterior, is accessible by a circuitous and spirally formed
aperture that may be found in the unexplored open Polar Sea, and this
opening... Página 359 - Were
there no such changes and modifications of material substances,
allnature would remain at a perfect stand-still, progress would cease,
and universal death would reign supreme. Had there been no law in nature
by which matter could be etherealized, then all would have remained in
the materialized condition; and we should not have been provided with
those elements so essential in the production and continuance of the
vegetable and animal kingdoms. We then discover, that, with a solvent of

is a synonim of life, heat, and activity. Hence, when the negative
element becomes permeated to any extent with the positive, it is
immediately subject to change, and becomes progressive ; for, the
positive and negative being male and female, reproduce themselves or
their likeness, and whenever or wherever the two elements come in
contact, from that moment change and progress^commences. There can be
no-thing... Referencias en páginas webTheosophy and the hollow earth John C. Symmes' Hollow Earth Writings Información bibliográfica
