Electricity is the servant of Mind. It does all of the work of creating this light-wave universe in unfolding-refolding sequences which Mind desires. The universal Mind has two desires - the desire for creative expression through the action of concentrative thinking and the desire for rest from action through decentrative thinking.
One desire is for separation from Oneness into unbalanced multiplicity and the other is for voidance of multiplicity into balanced Oneness. One desire is for action and the other for rest.
These two desires of Mind constitute the give for regiving principle by means of which all things in Nature grow or unfold by appearing from the void of rest in the kingdom of heaven from which all creating things appear, disappear and reappear in sequential cycles.
The electric expression of the two desires is reflected in the pulse beat of the universe. One pulsation com- presses, the other expands. The compressive pulsation gives form to idea by seeking rest at wave amplitudes

through centripetal action. The destructive pulsation voids form to seek rest at wave axes through centrifugal reaction.
These two opposite desires are characteristic of all effects of motion. All animal, vegetable and mineral life seeks action and rest alternately.
All effects of motion manifest that principle. A ball thrown in the air seeks rest from its action and returns from its unbalanced condition to seek rest through reaction.
After a day of work man rests from action so that he may repeat his day of action.
Because of these two opposite desires of universal Mind-thinking, all creating things appear on earths from the void of their heaven, disappear from their earths into their void in the heavens and reappear from that void to repeat their desires.
This explains the mystery of "matter appearing from space to be alternately swallowed by space."
