Let us look at this once more. If the interior or spiritual is the motive or life-power of all forms of existence (and this seems to be self- evident from the fact that when this is withdrawn from any form, decomposition and death are the result), then there are certain physical laws which its continuance with us render necessary. Many to-day realize that electrical laws control many of the phenomena of nature ; but that this law of electricity is subject to many modifications, we who understand aught of its mechanical use cannot doubt; and if we reason naturally, unrestrainedly, we shall feel that it really is the modification of some electrical law which the soul within uses for its expressive growth without. We plant the seed in the mold. The active life within acts upon the electrical moisture drawn, or negatively absorbed within it from the mold : soon it becomes so charged with this moisture, that italife-principle becomes positive to the properties around it; and it starts outward and upward, repelled by similar positive conditions. At the same time it becomes polarized at the germ-centre ; and then start the roots, which are positive to the mold, and repelled by the upper life. Thus harmoniously is one drawn by the earth, and the other part by the air. So we traced somewhat the modification of this law in the growth of the embryo. Now, we ask, does not this same law, expressing this same life-principle, sustaiu the plant? If not, what does ? If blind chance alone feeds it, why does it not make some mistake? Soul-life, controlling the electrical law peculiar to its forma...« less
