Polarity as the Magnet of Life

Life proceeds from within and simply manifests in the without. So we must seek life in its inner unfolding stages of appearance or our conditioned observation fails to give us a full view of the over-all process. The five conditions of matter must be duly observed and intelligently related through the five senses. Naturally, that means individual research, impartiality and painstaking effort in energy fields rather than only in the field of material liquid and solid substances as we previously believed. Such a change of thought means growth and growing pains. That is why it is not popular. As always, a few pioneers must labor so that many may enjoy the discoveries and comforts of life.

Few there be who find life itself. The perception of that essence is too rare in our material-concept atmosphere. No one can give it to us from the outside. It is a discovery of life revealing itself to the devotee of real search and unbiased observation.

Polarity in its Simplicity

Attraction is one phase of Polarity in all its manifold functions. This pull starts from a given center, object, or being, and draws unto itself. This is a unit action of one thing, large or small. Each object and body in Nature is held together by the same law of Polarity or attraction. Opposites attract on the ingoing waves and repel on the outgoing currents, such as the top and the bottom, the center and the circumference, the within and the without, the "I" and the "you." Love itself is an attraction in one direction - toward its center.

No matter how long or how short a stick is, there are always two ends and a middle; or a central core and a shell, if the object is round. This is Nature's arrangement of spinning particles in the process of forming bodies and objects. The end and the center must constantly be in communication with each other, through currents of living energy particles, in order to function and exist as a unit of perception, intelligence and motion. This pattern of energy flow as circuits exists in all things and establishes lines of force which react to Nature's own cosmic fields. In this manner we have either resistance (as repulsion), or holding by its own center of attraction, like in Nature. Individual attraction is the effort to get or draw from the universe, or from one part to another.

Polarity is the magnet of life and motion everywhere. The orbits of the solar systems and planets are governed by its laws. The atom is the tiniest speck of matter and is also subject to its rules, in the whirl of its minute energy particles of positive and negative polarity around a neuter [neutral] center. Energy can move or flow only when it is attracted to or repelled from its centers. These polarity areas in the human body are finer energy fields, different from the nerve centers or conducted currents through the nervous systems which are stepped-down, specialized circuits through a switch arrangement in the brain. Before there was even a primitive streak in the building of the human embryo, a Polarity action of finer lines of force was at work according to a definite mental pattern.

MENTAL PATTERNS OR BLUEPRINTS: The human embryo has a definite mental pattern which directs the energy whirl of protons and electrons in their course. The design was originated by the Creator. Each creature has a different pattern and vibratory keynote. However, in the process of building or forming the pattern body, "it does not yet appear what they shall be." There are stages when it is hard to distinguish one pattern or kind from another because of incomplete arrangement of Polarity function. The central axis and the poles are its keynote. When
