accumulate. The other is a disassembling or dissociating force, and eliminative force of emission, which causes mass to emanate, to separate, to disintegrate.
One is the force of displacement which generates high pressures as accumulated potential; the other is the force of replacement which releases high pressures and accumulated potential into low pressures and low potential.
In any mass its constant of centripetal force is its constant of power to attract. [See Syntropy]
In any mass its constant of centrifugal force is its constant of power to repel. [See Entropy]
Let us consider these opposite effects of motion separately. First let us consider the contractive pressure of electricity and its effect, which is that of attraction.
Electricity attempts to displace substance by taking it from its expanded position in inertia, setting it in motion and gathering it together in solid masses. [See Syntropy]
Charging light units draw closer to each other. They appear to attract one another.
They gravitate toward each other.
They revolve around each other and rotate upon themselves.
As they draw closer together they charge each other, thus mutually assisting each other in remaining in their unstable position of displacement. [See syntropy, Bjerknes Effect, 10.07 - Centers of Mutual Attraction]
Each part of every charging light unit or system appears to attract each other part irrespective of its potential. Contraction of volume is the inevitable effect. [See Law of Assimilation, Bjerknes Effect]
Accumulating mass absorbs heat. [See Law of Heat]
Higher electric pressure increases heat.
Heat absorbing light units are raising their potentials through vitalizing inhalation.
They accumulate potential by nature's process of raising low potentials to the low melting points characteristic of low pressures and low potentials and then freezing them into form at the low freezing points characteristic of low pressures and low potentials; and then repeating this process in the higher potentials of each succeeding octave of inhalation.
Light units which are increasing their potentials are endothermic, contracting, generating light units.
Generating light units or systems are centripetal.
Their force is in the direction of nucleal centers of closing spirals.
Centripetal, closing spirals pack accumulating mass more closely together into vortices which are ever whirling toward the apices of ever shortening cones.
The whirling vortices of closing spirals of opposing cones become nucleal centers of maximum integration and maximum resistance to integration.
They [nucleal centers] are the gravitative centers of forming systems.
They [nucleal centers] are the focusing points toward which all charging light units of increasing potential, and integrating mass "fall," and become absorbed as heat units of potential energy; and away from which all discharging light units of lowering potential and disintegrating mass rise and are radiated as heat emanations.
Centripetal, closing spirals of opposing cones accumulate positive charge and its accompanying heat resistance into restricted areas at their melding apices which form centers of gravitative force.
The apices of spiral cones are the focusing points of the high potential of their systems.
All light units of increasing potential decrease in volume as they approach these focusing points.
Decrease in volume means increase in density.
Increase in density is resisted by magnetic reaction and evidenced in heat. [See Law of Cycles]
Heat radiates. Radiation expands and expansion cools the surface of the accumulated mass.
Cold generates. Generation contracts.
Contraction condenses.
By this process, a contracting shell of high pressure is formed around any heated mass to

prevent expansion, and the hot center ever increases in density as it cools. [See Envelope, rotating envelope]
This is nature's method of changing dimensions of motion in order to produce apparently different substances with which to build the forms thought out by Mind.
No better illustration of nature's processes could be found than a comparison with man's processes of transforming iron into the appearance of other substances by exactly the same methods.
Iron, superheated and plunged into icy water, will appear quite another substance than the iron of which it is composed.
The same iron, or an iron alloy, when cooled in molten lead will have other qualities not there when assembled by the metallurgist.
The pressures employed by man in his processes of transformation give to the substances used by man many and varied appearances and forms.
Just so with the pressures employed by nature in her processes of transformation by growth.
Everything constructed by nature "grows." Growth is an accumulation and assimilation of electric potential caused by endothermic, inhalative genera-activity, followed by eliminative redistribution as the result of exhalative radioactivity. [See Law of Assimilation, Life, Death]
Nothing in nature evades the law of growth nor knows another process.
Nature assembles all her forms, and transforms her assembled forms, by raising their opposing pressures to high potentials from low potentials.
Nature heats everything which she wishes to transform through growth in high pressure crucibles, and moulds them by high pressure into the desired forms.
Nature then subjects them to sudden or gradual cooling by sudden or gradual release of pressure exactly as man cools his heated metals after moulding them into the forms desired by him. [See Law of Transformation of Forces, Law of Cycles]
Nature freezes her growing things at their characteristic low melting points with every exhalation and melts more for accumulation with each sequential inhalation.
Nature, the great engineer, builds a supporting framework of bone, or of wood, or fibre, for all her growing things, out of low octaves of high potentials, upon which she superimposes her flesh assembled from high octaves of low potentials.
The frameworks of nature's structures require the locked potential positions of higher opposing pressures and higher melting points than is required by the flesh superimposed thereon.
This is as true of the growing vegetable as of this growing solar system.
The low temperature of our atmosphere supplies a sufficient furnace to bring the low potentials of the flesh of growing vegetables to their melting points. The low pressure of expansion then freezes them into the densities appropriate to their low pressures.
The high opposing pressures and temperatures of the sun do exactly the same thing. Planets are melted in its furnace and moulded into shape by the opposing pressure walls which trim and prune them into harmonic spheres of dimensions proportionate to their potential positions.
High pressures produce more dense substances of greater strength for the framework of nature's structures whether those structures are vegetables, animals or solar systems.
Increase in density means decrease in axial of speed-time dimension and increase in orbital of power-time.
Expanded substances are described by chemists as "active" and contracted substances as “inactive.” Gases, for example, are classed as active, and solids as inactive states of substances.
That is because expanded substances unite more readily in low potential positions where expansion pressure has separated light units to great distances.
