netic currents of the body. \Vhere the magnetic force is great
and there is but little resistanee from the po~itive, solid, intwt-or
nearly so-masses of -matter are fonud; and the more
of the positive element is added to the ma...'ls gS~.tllered hy the
negative, the more activity obtains, the wicler the scope of activity,
and the less clense becomes the hotly.
\V e da·aw from the above the conclusiou that all force arising
ft·om what is known as gt·avitation is a purely negative
f01·ce concentrating upon itself-is purely feminine, and, when
worked out in. mitul, is the mother love and care; that all expansive
energit>s are po!litive and belong to the realm of the paternal
thought,-expansion, and comprehension of knowledge.
These two factors divide in man and woman; and in the perfectly
developed pair, the love principle in the woman and the
thought principle in the man are guided and cuntrolled by intellect,
so that they may be directed to, and lay hold upon, any
quality of force exh.ting in nature. All things in nature find
their ultimate in the pea·feet man and woman; and, by turning
tlteir thoughts upon any prinniple, sneh a pait• may bring it

Hut nnti I woman has enlarged the sphere of bet• love to all of
Gutl's creation, and man his sphere of usefulness and thought
to the univer11e, having cnnqnerecl every particle of selfishness 01•
love of pos:~ession, they ~~an only chaw within the boundary of
the it· own drde, and U!le sndt of these uni ver!lal forces as their
mental limitations :ulmit. But when they have thus freed
themsdves fr~m selfishnt>IIS, whidt is limitation, and have taken
in the 11phere of the nnivet·se with theit· love and wisdom,
then. through theil· mental powet·s. they may, as it were, link
the hattet·ies of their· life to any JH"ineiple they may choose, and
govern it in its optwatinns thi'Onghout the u11iverse: or any number
of these pt·itwiples cumhinecl, causing them to act and interact
ancl produce whatever would be usf\ful and good to all,
being limited only by theit· powet· to gt·asp the universal mind
currents.
But we are getting into too deep water to travel further in
this line. We now see whE>re this principle of force is changed
into power to do an•l at•complish, to serve the uses of the mind
of the Creator. Theref.n·e let us return to tbe expression of
force a.
