Return to Book 02 - Chapter 07 - Instability, and the Illusion of Stability in Motion
The chemist can solve his problems only through knowledge of the various dimensions of the elements with which he has to deal, their relative instability, and their relative illusion of stability.
To write in sufficient detail the various relations of motion, and to organize them as a higher electro-chemistry, will require a volume in itself which will follow this one at a later date.
Suffice it for this volume, that the accompanying working chart of the chemist's six octaves be herein given, together with four charts demonstrating the orderliness of stability and instability in motion.
The universe of motion is a swinging of the cosmic pendulum from the stability of concept in inertia to the instability of the image of concept in motion, and back again to the stability of memory of concept in inertia.
Concept precedes motion. Motion begins in concept.
Concept takes place in inertial equilibrium. [See stillness]
Motion is born of opposition to equilibrium.
The universal balance cannot be upset. No state other than an equilibrium is possible.
The concept of an action designed to upset the universal balance by overcoming inertia is, when executed as an action, simultaneously opposed by a reaction designed to restore that balance. [See exciter]
The result of action and reaction is to create the illusion of stability through a division of the force of action and reaction into apparent opposites.
An opposed state is an unstable state which simulates stability through motion in equal and opposite actions and reactions. [See antagonism]
Therefore, stability cannot lie in motion, for all motion is opposed and divided in its opposition.
Stability is the inactivity of the state of equilibrium. [See stillness, Undifferentiated Mind, Figure 18.13 - Scalar or Undifferentiated Mind Force]
The dimensionless universe of concept is the universe of stability. [See Mind, Thought, Desire]
The universe of expression of concept, through motion, is the universe of dimension. [See Matter]
The universe of dimension is the universe of the illusion of stability.
The elements of matter with which the chemist has to deal are opposed states of motion which become increasingly unstable as they depart from the inert gases, reaching maximum instability at the carbon line.
The illusion of stability is least in the lower tones and reaches its maximum at the carbon line.
The lower the potential, electric pressure, valency, temperature and density, the greater the stability of the elements, and the less the illusion of stability.
Conversely, the higher the potential, magnetic pressure, valency, temperature and density, the less the stability and the greater the illusion of stability.
Every chemical effect is an electro-magnetic effect.
Every electro-magnetic effect is a mechanical effect.
This universe of motion is a machine in which every mass in motion is a wheel geared into another wheel. [See Wheelwork of Nature]
Celestial mechanics vary not one bit from the mechanics of man.
If one wheel changes its dimensions, all wheels change to conform to that change. [See 7.7 - Reciprocal States of Matter and Energy, reciprocal, Reciprocating Proportionality, Conjugate Variables]
