Matter is a form of the Universal
Ether, so far as science seems to declare, or, at least, matter
presupposes the ether in a state of vibration. Your body is a
"field" in which etheric vibrations are constantly taking place.
All its reality and all its activities involve such vibrations.
The brain, regarded as the organ of conscious life, of thought and
feeling, and the entire nervous system, involve such vibrations.
And as your thought and feeling constitute the foundation of your
moral character, the latter also becomes a matter of movements in
the ether.
In the case of heat, light, electricity, etc., differing kinds of
such vibrations determine the kinds of phenomena. We may say,
then, that there is one general kind of ether-movement for matter,
and another for thought and feeling, and another for the moral
life. Each individual, however, presents variations of these
general kinds of vibrations,--a particular variation for his body,
and for his mental person, and for his right or wrong self-spirit.
