JOHN KEELY - SUBSTANCE AND NATURE OF MIND FORCE
The substance of the brain is molecular. The mind which permeates the brain is interetheric in substance; it is the element by which the brain is impregnated. This element, when excited into action, controls all physical motion as long as the necessary sympathetic conditions are maintained. Then conditions are no more immaterial in their character than are light and heat. Electricity, magnetism, gravity, and heat are latent in all aggregations of matter. They are not obtained from terrestrial influences. Celestial radiation is the true impregnating medium in all these forces. The brain is the high resonating receptacle where the sympathetic celestial acts, and where molecularand atomic motion are induced, as according to the intensification brought tobear upon it by radiation. The sympathetic conditions that we call mind are no more immaterial intheir character than light or electricity.
The substance of the brain is molecular, while the substance of the mind that permeates the brain is interethericand is the element by which the brain is impregnated, exciting it into action and controlling physical motion. In order to trace the successive tripleimpulses, taking the introductory one of sympathetic negative outreach, towards the cerebral neutrals, which awaken the latent element to action, wefind that mind may be considered a specific order of interatomic motion sympathetically influenced by the celestial flow and that it becomes when thus excited by this medium a part and parcel of the celestial itself. The brain isnot a laboratory. It is as static as the head of the positive negative attractor, until influenced by certain orders of vibration, when it reveals the truecharacter of the outreach so induced.
The brain is the high resonating receptacle where the sympathetic celestial acts, and where molecular and atomicmotion exhibits itself, as according to the intensification brought to bear uponit by the celestial mind flow. The question arises, Why is this condition ofthe (luminous) ether always under a state of luminosity of an especial order? Its characteristics are such, from its infinite tenuity and the sympathetic activity with which it is impregnated, that it possesses an order of vibratory, oscillatory velocity, which causes it to evolve its own luminosity. This celestial, latent power, that induces luminosity in this medium, is the same thatregisters in all aggregated forms of matter, visible and invisible. It is heldin the corpuscular embrace until liberated by a compound vibratory negative medium. What does this activity represent, by which luminosity is inducedin the high etheric realm, if not to indicate that even this order of ether isbounded by a greater region still beyond?
The activity of the corpuscles represents its outflow from the luminiferous track towards the molecular centers of neutrality, revealing the connecting link between mind and matter. These conditions of luminosity have no thermal forces associated with them, although, paradoxically, all thermal conditions emanate from that source. The tenuity of this element accounts for it. It is when the streams come in conflict with crude matter that heat is evolved from its latent state and a differentorder of light from the etheric luminous is originated, the sun being the inter-mediate transmitter. All planets and systems are sympathetic intermediates,the whole of one system, connected in sympathy for each other, the Brain of Deity.
