[p. 13]
From now on we must talk very much about FLAME, in respect to radioactivity and death. Flame is the ultimate of Creation. It is both maximum life and maximum death. Its radiation will beget life but its body will consume it. The maturity of all Creation itself is expressed in flaming suns. Suns are incandescent carbon. Carbon is frozen flame. Flame is one point of pressure beyond the maximum compression which a body will stand. Flame is the effect of the explosion which releases the compression at that ultimate point. Compression heats. Flame is maximum heat.
Life cannot live without heat. It is created by heat and must have it. Radiation gives you that heat. It is good for you. It warms you to a normalcy of temperature. It expands your body cells in perfect attunement with their compression sequences. It synchronizes with the rhythms of your breathings and your pulse beat.
Radioactivity gives you more heat than you can stand. It sends millions of alpha ray bullets into your body which accumulate there all of your life and raise your temperature, readjusting your entire metabolism until your body cells explode from their accumulated heat and expand beyond their normalcy. The slightest change in your heat abnormalcy gives you a fever. A fever
[p. 14]
means too much heat. It means expanded body cells and red blood corpuscles. Even too much heat from the sun will do that. You cannot expose yourself to its life giving rays too long else they become death giving rays. This idea you must also give much thought to, for your environment demands a proper amount of heat, which will become impossible when your present normal environment is made abnormal by countless billions of alpha and niton rays, which will bombard you constantly and show their effects in leukemia, bone cancer, deformed children and many other effects until you die by slow expansion. A "lethal dose" of radium gases will quicken that expansion.
All things die from heat expansion. That is the only way any body can die, whether it is your body, or the sun's body. All things in Nature die normally by slow expansion. Radioactivity is multiplied expansion, which is caused by multiplied compression. It helps man die from explosively quick expansion. Flame is caused by maximum compression. Flame is the ultimate consumer of all bodies. If you will but bear this fact in mind as we proceed you will more readily comprehend WHY and HOW this planet will soon become a barren waste if radioactivity is widely used. You will also comprehend WHY and HOW man can explode this planet into millions of fragments, or make it become a partially exploding body, which we call a nova in the heavens.
Do not for a moment think that planets and suns cannot explode. They are continually exploding.
There are thousands of novas in the heavens and space is filled with countless millions of fragments of exploded planets, which we call asteroids and meteorites. These are irregular shaped lumps. Nature does not create her forms in lumps. She creates only rings and spheres which she crystallizes into geometric forms, but they must first be rings and spheres.
The one amazing thing about all matter, which is not known today, is that all matter wants to explode, it wants to die. To live, is an effort. To die is effortless. Matter is not held together from within by the attraction of gravity, as generally supposed, it is compressed together by a force exerted from the outside toward its center. Life is hard to maintain, for that reason, and for the
[p. 15]
same reason it is easy to die because it wants to die. You must understand this fact if you wish to comprehend how radioactivity kills. It is against all modern scientific belief, because the general belief is that a material nucleus holds the atom together. Nature does not work that way. Atoms do not have nuclei. Nature creates her atoms the same may that you would compress air into a tire. It is hard work. You pump it in from the outside toward its middle. Then you put a cap on it to imprison it. If it is not sealed and imprisoned it would escape without effort by you. It does not need help to expand. It only needs help to be compressed.
Matter is an abnormality. The normality of this universe is a condition of rest - an equilibrium. Matter is not an equilibrium. It is a created condition which divides a resistant equilibrium. That division results in tremendous tensions. Tensions are not normal to the universal equilibrium. Tensions have within them a great desire for relief from tension. Decay, death, discharge, explosions and flame give matter that relief from tensions which it desires. Bear this fact in mind. Remember that the first desire of all Creation is Mind-expression by division of the universal equilibrium. Remember also that the desire to again return to the normal universal equilibrium is equally intensive. To divide an equilibrium requires work. To return to the normality of the universal equilibrium does not require work. Bear in mind, then, that it is hard to live but easy to die. Radioactivity is making it harder for bodies to live by releasing the tensions which makes them die.
Later in this book you will find that every atom is exactly like your tire. It is an electrically compressed ring with a hole in it. See Fig. 41. Nature has to seal her compressed rings to imprison that compression, just as you do, but the cap she uses to seal them is the eternal cold of space which encases every one of them with a frozen crust. That keeps the heat sealed inside, as it does to our earth. It seems strange to speak of the frozen crust of the sun, but it is frozen, nevertheless, otherwise the sun would explode.
All atoms are single units. All of these single units combine, in every octave, to make spiral atomic systems like the nebulae
[p. 16]
of space, or carbon in an octave, or a loop of force in an electric current. All atomic rings collide to unite four pairs of them into one sphere. See Fig. 29. This you will understand later in detail, but an understanding of the essence of it now will help you to comprehend the quick death principle by means of which radioactivity lets imprisoned matter escape suddenly, just as a spark lets imprisoned dynamite escape suddenly.
The special reason you should begin to understand the essence of it now is because it is against all scientific tradition and concept. It will be proven to you all through this book, however, for our whole case rests upon it. If present day belief is right in its concept that the atom is held together from the inside, then we have no case, and these writings are worthless. If we are right in our knowledge that all matter is a powder keg which is intensely desirous of being released from its forced imprisonment, and needs only the right kind of match to explode it, you can then see that radioactive fission is that match, and these writings are priceless saviours of the race.
It only stands to reason, therefore, that if every cell in your body wants to explode, and that radioactivity releases millions upon millions of deadly niton and alpha "matches" in our atmosphere, which will help your body cells to explode, and you breathe in enough of them, you could no more continue to live than your tire could hold its air if you open its valve. This actually happened in a laboratory where some radioactive gas escaped and a man breathed it in. It was said of him that he had a lethal dose and could not live. Of course he could not live, nor can the whole human race and the earth's vegetation live when microscopic strontium, barium, radium and plutonium "matches" by the millions are in all the water you drink, all the food you eat, and in every breath you take. Some of your cells will constantly explode. Strontium will give you bone cancer and make you breed terribly abnormal children. Radium and plutonium will kill you by eating your red blood cells and causing leukemia victims by the millions. We will give you the detailed reasons for this as we proceed, but we do not need to tell you what cyanide of potassium will do to you, for you know. Nor do we need to
[p. 17]
tell you what chlorine, the most deadly gas which laboratories fear, will do to you, for you know. What then can plutonium rays do to you? Dr. Ralph E. Lapp, a noted authority, tells us that they are a million times more deadly than chlorine gas, which every laboratory dreads. Also, what can it do to the planet? Its rays are said to endure for 20,000 years. It is quite possible that the earth could remain barren that long, or very much longer. Organic life would have to "evolve" again, from its beginning.
That could really happen if thousands of reactors were scattered all over the world, for each reactor has a uranium pile of ten tons. That means that thousands of Frankensteins would be in our midst against which we are helpless. We could not even approach them to destroy them. Naturally that could not happen, for mankind would discover his great error long before the country could be dotted with plants, but it is more than probable that enough would be constructed, and their shields become as dangerous as they themselves are, to cause wholesale migrations to far northern latitudes for very survival. Great cities would become deserted and tens of millions would die from polluted food, water and air. The primeval life which would necessarily become imperative for the small number of survivors in the then temperate climate of the north and south poles, would set civilization back for many thousands of years, for life would be utterly impossible within a thousand miles of naked reactor plutonium piles.
One of the greatest errors in reactor construction is the use of aluminum tubes for uranium containers. Aluminum would become charged with radioactive death very quickly in comparison with silver, gold or any other metal on the blue side of the spectrum. Steel is on the red side, but its density is so much greater than aluminum that it is a better metal than aluminum for that purpose. Nickel would be better than steel, for nickel is on the blue side. The idea of constructing shields of any material at all, for protection against uranium and plutonium is only a temporary expedient. The time will come when the shields will be as dangerous as the cores. It is impossible to be otherwise. The time element may be long, but when that time comes, the greatest mi-
[p. 18]
gration history has ever known will take place, and its road will be paved with millions of dead, largely from leukemia which will rapidly increase until it becomes a scourge.
The element of surprise which could delay the discovery of the great danger, and thus allow more plutonium piles to come into existence, is the fact that scientists are looking near the ground for fall-out dangers and other radioactive menaces. The greatest radioactive dangers are accumulating from eight to twelve miles up. This seems to be ignored. The upper atmosphere is already charged with death dealing radioactivity for which it has not yet sent us its bill. It is slowly coming, however, and we will have to pay for it for another century, even if atomic energy plans ceased today. That is why it is possible to have many reactors in use before discovering it is too late to stop building them. It would be impossible to destroy them for they could not be approached. Plutonium and uranium piles cannot be destroyed in any other way than by redistributing them the way Nature does. As that is utterly impossible, the only recourse left to man is to flee from them and let the centuries renormalize the earth made barren by man.
Let us quote Britain's Manchester Guardian Weekly of May, 1956, in relation to the heavy price we will soon pay from the upper atmosphere fall-out to earth: "Since records have been kept the amount of radio-strontium which has fallen out on Britain has multiplied six times. In 1948 radioactivity, to roughly two-thousandths of a gram of radium, had fallen out on each square mile of countryside. Since then the rate of deposition has increased, and now the equivalent of nearly six-thousandths of a gram of radium are settling each year. And there is plenty more of it to come. . . .
The concentration of radioactivity eight miles up is some 200 times greater than it is at ground level. Between 10 per cent and 20 per cent of this is thought to settle upon the earth each year."
We know that you are wondering WHY these radioactive elements will so violently kill when others will not hurt you. We will answer this question very explicitly for you but for the present our answer is that they will not kill if left where Nature put
[p. 19]
them to perform the beneficial service intended of them. They are all good in their place, in fact they help to create the very water you drink and make humus for the soil, which gives you food. God's whole plan is good. When man upsets that plan he makes for himself that which he calls "bad."
Let us give you an example of our meaning. It is good and healthful for you to sit upon a great granite boulder with the sun shining warmly upon you. All of its radiations are good, for they are in normal balance with the pulsation frequencies of every cell in your body. Now if you "bombard" that 100 ton boulder and take it all apart, you will obtain fourteen ounces of uranium and two pounds of thorium. If you then sit upon that you will soon die from the explosions caused in your body cells. You can also procure other metals which will not hurt you from that boulder. You can obtain 1,000 pounds of titanium, 180 pounds of manganese, 70 pounds of chromium, 40 pounds of nickel, 10 pounds of tungsten, 5 tons of iron and 8 tons of aluminum. The reason WHY these tons of metals will not hurt you, and WHY the few ounces of thorium and uranium WILL hurt you, is the reason why it is now necessary to know the relation of LIFE and DEATH of organic bodies, to the elements of matter of which they are composed.
For this reason we again repeat the great simple basic fact that all death is caused by expansion, and all life' is caused by compression. We also repeat the as yet unknown fact that life deeply desires to live, but has to work hard to keep sufficiently charged to maintain life, while death can fulfill its desire to die without effort. To charge a body with life takes time and much effort, but a discharge can be timeless and without effort. The flash of a short circuit is not only a good example of this fact but is a demonstration of its proof. If you will but submit this new thought to your reasoning you will see the naturalness, and significance of it. Death means rest, or cessation of motion. Sound is motion created with an effort, but it ceases without effort. It is an effort for you to arise and work, but it is no effort for you to cease working and rest. It is an effort to heat a rod of iron but the rod will cool without effort. You must, therefore, realize that
[p. 20]
all things will die normally and naturally without help. That is what radiation is. Multiplied expansion means helping matter to expand quickly, and that is what radioactivity is. The use of nuclear fission, therefore, vastly multiplies the difficulty of living things to keep alive, by vastly aiding them to die.
The mystery which we will clarify in this book is to tell how man can be master of life through knowledge, instead of letting death master him through ignorance. The first essential in knowing how to gain this control is to first realize the profundity of the basic facts above stated, and relegate all cause of normal death to normal expansion, and all quick death to abnormal expansion. Add other details to this afterward. Do not say that he died of arsenic poisoning, for there is no poison in the purposeful things of Nature, which must fulfill their purposes. He died of abnormal expansion due to contacting a higher voltage electric current than his body could stand. That was the cause of his death. It was radioactive electrocution, not poisoning.
This example will apply to all radioactive effects which we shall describe herein. The lethal dose of radioactive emanation which killed the laboratory worker heretofore mentioned, was not a poison, nor was it a chemical death. He died by electrocution, slow electrocution which consumed two weeks of time to slowly expand enough to kill. As our last word, before taking the next simple step in our clarification, let us remind you that this universe of motion is entirely electrical. Every effect of any nature, whatsoever, is basically electric. Whatever happens in any way stems from the electric current. To know just one wave unit of the electric current is to know all there is of the construction of matter, or the cause of any effect of motion, whatsoever.
We tell our students constantly that the secret of Creation lies in the octave wave, therefore, know the wave. We, likewise, tell our students who are doctors, or chemists, lawyers, metallurgists, astronomers or inventors, that they must first be electricians. We, likewise, say the same thing to the humanist, poet or missionary. First be an electrician. Know the electric current if you wish to control people, matter, or your destiny. The chemist and musician make use of the same octave tonal scale, and the clergyman
[p. 21]
who knows its rhythms is vastly more fitted to balance human problems. We say to all men in all professions, and all walks of life, from the statesman to him who wields a hoe: "If you would know your universe of motion, your relation to it and your control over it, first thoroughly know just one cycle of an electric current and the still fulcrum from which it has its being."
We shall now write for you what seems like an insoluble paradox, or an impossibility of Nature, but it is a fundamental, nevertheless. Please carve it indelibly upon your consciousness now, and await its gradual comprehension as other unknown fundamentals of Nature will be gradually revealed to you herein. It is as follows:
All material bodies, organic and inorganic, live and grow by increasingly fast motion. They also die and decay by increasingly fast motion.
This eternal fact of Nature has always stared man in the face very conspicuously, without having been seen. Even so great a thinker and observer as Albert Einstein passed it by when he wrote his equation of 1905, which states that fast motion multiplies electric potential. That fact of Nature is true, but as it is equally true that fast motion divides potential his whole equation is invalid as a law, for a half truth which voids itself cannot become an eternal law.
It is not to be wondered at that this fact of Nature escaped observation by the senses, for man is so accustomed to the fact that effects disappear through slow motion, and that death is consummated by cessation of motion. The senses are not to be trusted, however. When you fully understand the above postulate you will also understand the incredible death speed of plutonium radiations which are approximately 170,000 miles per second.
The fastest speed of Nature is 186,400 miles per second. That is the generoactive speed in which light waves reproduce to
[p. 22]
create living bodies of matter. In the creation of matter the genero-active, polarizing, centripetal speed which multiplies to create solids, begins with zero at the first octave and reaches its maximum genero-active speed of 186,400 miles per second at carbon, which is the maturity of Creation. This is the increasingly fast speed which multiplies potential. It is centripetal. From there it begins its radioactive, depolarizing, centrifugal speed at zero and reaches 186,400 miles per second, just beyond plutonium at the amplitude point of the 9th octave wave. This is the increasingly fast speed which divides potential to assist matter to die. It is, centrifugal. Up to nearly that point the word fusion has taken the place of combustion, but beyond it the speed of death is so great that the word fission has been coined to meet it. The speed of flame by fission causes one short circuit in about one hundred millionth of a second. Its actual speed could be computed by dividing the speed of light into the time it takes for one wave frequency.
Thus we end another lesson in unfolding your comprehension to the meaning of multiplied death before again opening new doors for still greater comprehension of the true nature of our universe.
