47. When we think of matter, we should think of the thought-waves which created it. Likewise, we must think of time as an accumulation of thought-waves.
Thought-waves accumulate into cycles upon countless cycles in the forming of bodies. As thought-waves add density and other mass dimensions to the bodies they create, they also add time by lengthening the time intervals needed to repeat that body.
Thought-waves "store up" time as they store up mass. Bodies of matter are "wound" up thought-waves. The time consumed to polarize a thought-wave cycle is so incredibly fast that its reproductive frequencies reach out through the universe at the rate of about 2,000 miles in one-hundredth of a second. When they wind up into masses of waves to create bodies, they slow down their repetitive frequencies and thus lengthen their cycle of growth and decay in proportion to the mass of thought-waves which have been wound up into a formed body.
Thought-waves which create a body of sound must unwind their accumulations. That also takes time. The sound of a pistol shot is a body of accumulated thought-waves. These must unwind and rewind before they can reproduce a sound body. For this reason the sound can reproduce itself only 1100 feet away from its source in one second, while the thought-wave of its source can circle the earth seven times in one second.
The growth-decay-life-death cycle of a tree well exemplifies this principle. Fifty years of time may be consumed during one period of accumulating thought-wave patterns by unfolding from its seed, and voiding them by refolding the record of those patterns back into their seed.
Life-death cycles of insect bodies vary from minutes to months. Animal life-death cycles reach into the centuries, while thought-wave accumulations of solar and nebular systems reach into the hundreds of billions of years for one vibration frequency which is one life-death cycle.
Periods of gestation likewise lengthen in duration in proportion to the accumulation of the recordings of thought-wave patterns upon other thought-wave patterns which produce complex bodies.
All other cycles within cycles likewise vary in similar proportions, cycles such as respiration, pulse, sleep, digestion and other frequencies of repetition.
The fact of importance to know in relation to vibration frequencies is that no matter how complex the formed body may be, and no matter how great its duration in time, the process of growth of every cycle is the same without the slightest variation. Every growing thing must pass through nine stages in this three-dimensional universe of timed motion from the zero of its beginning to its zero ending.
Every cycle is a complete octave wave - and every octave wave is a series of eight tones, the amplitude tone being two, united as one, and an inert gas - the total being nine.
Atomic structure would be difficult to comprehend in principle without comprehension of the above-mentioned facts.
One must be able to vision a sun in the heavens whose duration is billions of years, and the sun which centers the tonal wave of a harp string of a hundredth-of-a-second duration as being one in principle. The difference lies in the amount of time which must be expended in unwinding that mass of thought-wave patterns into its thought-wave units. Likewise, one must be able to vision the interchange between the sun of a solar system and its black-hole counterpart on the other side of its vacuous mate as the same simple EFFECT of the same ONE CAUSE.
Much confusion will disappear when knowledge of all CAUSE and EFFECT is thus simplified.
Confusion regarding the many seemingly different particles of matter will disappear when one knows that each seemingly different particle is but a different stage in the growth of an elemental tone - and that each element is a stage in the growth of an octave-wave cycle.
Just as a man is the same flesh, blood and bone in each of his stages of growth, so are all particles the same ultra-microscopic unit vortices of motion which are changing their pressure conditions during their whole life cycle journeys of simulating different substances.
Confusion will likewise disappear for those who search for the life principle in matter when they know that what they assume to be life is but motion multiplying its pressures to simulate the IDEA of life, and then dividing them to simulate the IDEA of death.
