Man as he exercises today but in primordial limitation. The consistency of nature of
intelligence in both the Divine and the mortal, confirms the kinship between the
two and get away from this simple equation we cannot. Only the pitiably ignorant
scoff at the whole of it and term it an hypothesis of Man s mental picturings. If they
poked and pried and investigated and research into areas superseding the mortal as
entirely responsible individuals have done they would find themselves rewarded with
evidence that Man s intelligence cannot be otherwise than Divine intelligence presented
in a very tiny and circumscribed exhibit. There again, we confront the question of size,
which again is the item of quantity. What we ourselves are most interested in
considering or determining by the discussions in this book is, altering our concepts of
Divinity Itself out of the anthropomorphic which is God in the atomic vehicle
presentation to Divinity as the Master Consciousness that hatched up the ruse of
vehicles of various orders to give visible animation to spiritual expression. Get this
vehicle business resolved into its more accurate picture-images and life takes on a
meaning that maintains superiority above all vehicles. Right now, at his current state of
unfoldment on this solar satellite, Man is the intellectual slave to vehicle. He thinks
entering into the field of atomic force of Light Concentrates composing the vehicle, and
animating it by such occupancy, is all the life there is. He sees the phenomenon, in other
words, from what we call finite aspects only. And the reason he does this or at least
has done up to now has been his purblind notions respecting the nature or
compositions of that which is Material. Nuclear fission, as I said, now that he has
reached the age of it, is due to revolutionize his cognitions and concludings.
Man, gauging or classifying all materials as either gaseous, liquid or solid, has
assumed from their reactions on his senses that spiritual vehicles of flesh and blood are
opaque and substantial elements that cannot be resolved into anything but what he
perceives them in his daily intercourse. For a hundred thousand years such has been his
acceptance. So when a body ceased to have animation, and its materials started
disintegrating from about the Light- Pattern that constituted the design for the physical,
the state which he labels Death was arrived at. But along have come great physicists
like Jeans and Eddingtong and made a scientific amalgam of such pronouncements.
First, these mortal vehicles for spirit-intelligence to obtain expression by
manipulating through ensoulment, are 86 percent water, I repeat, which in turn is two
parts hydrogen to one of oxygen. Hydrogen and oxygen are chemical elements
composed of atoms with protons and electrons of known numbers and relationships.
The next biggest ingredient of the human body is carbon secured by six negative
electrical impulses whirling in an orbit around one proton positive charge. The rest of
the vehicle is minerals and salts but similarly compounded. Therefore, when you
 touch a living human body, you actually are contacting the outward but controlled
push of the flying electrons of each atom, and the feature that appears to give them
 solidarity is the minute integration of them in respect to their orbits. You get the
nearest approach to it in the natural world by picking up a garden-hose that is squirting

water under heavy pressure. The molecules of the water, composed in turn of hydrogen
and oxygen atoms, are proceeding from the nozzle with a  force  as we name it that
makes it possible for us to  touch the edge of the stream of water-molecules with our
fingertips, as though it were a solid substance. Water can come from a heavy fire-hose
with such similar propulsion that thrusting the fist into it is no more possible than
thrusting the fist into a square beam of mahogany. Now think of that water-force
coming form within itself, instead of originating by air pressure applied through a
pumping apparatus somewhere, and if it followed a circular pattern, and swirled fast
enough, you might pick the whole thing up and be puzzled as to whether it were water
in movement or some discarded automobile tire in peculiar decomposition. It would
have independent existence, in other words, as a self-contained and self-propelled
water-phenomenon.
It is the behavior of the atoms in the orbital integration of the mass known as skin,
bone, or blood, that gives you the reaction of solidarity.
But here is the appalling scientific certainty
If you could somehow perceive what is happening in the flesh-and-blood molecules
with a quality or microscopic operation of consciousness no bigger than just one of the
atoms in either hydrogen or oxygen, this great hulk of a human organism would alter its
appearance to your gaze till you would readily conclude that your were perceiving some
starry galactic system & at the most, the apparently  solid flesh-and-blood substances
would be of no more consistency than a cloud of pasture mist in early morning blowing
through the apertures in a wire sheep-fence.
Our finite senses lack the capability to discern atomic action within and behind the
composition of all substances, so we pronounce that they have  reality in the terms of
our clumsy mass perceptivities.
It is a dramatic fact that there might be entities of consciousness in the universe
with vision delicate enough to walk through a city street and see the sidewalks filled
with clouds of what appeared to be moving gaseous ensembles. Say to such entities that
each cloud was a  solid man or woman, able to step off the walk in front of a speeding
motorcar and be mangled to nonexistence, and they would laugh you to scorn. How
could a motorcar  mangle a could of vaporous atomic planetary systems? You would
say to such entities that their perceptions were too fine to comprehend the  force of a
hurtling motorcar. But if pedestrian and motorcar were both operating on the same
octave of vibration sometimes called a Frequency there would be no mystery to it.
There it is, however, the elemental composition of the whole vehicular universe.
It is known that there are substances with specific gravity so great that one cubic
inch of them could  weigh one or more tons. But if any form of consciousness were
operating at the same specific  sense gravity, the ton-to-the-inch  weight would mean
absolutely nothing.
Suppose we return for a moment to those seeming  gaseous globules moving
along a city sidewalk &
Beyond Grandeur William D. Pelley 85
SOMEWHERE in the midst of the globule ensemble all proven incontestably by
what is being achieved today in nuclear fission there is a  thinking and  deciding
something that determines form within its occupancy of the gas-cloud whether it shall
move in a northerly direction or turn about and move south, whether it shall turn into an
eating place and masticate a porterhouse steak or be content with a salad, whether it
shall vote Democratic or Republican in the approaching elections, whether it shall
 believe in immortality of the soul or decide that disdaining and abandoning
occupancy of the cloud  ends everything . By some feat of necromancy this intellect
kernel controls and directs all the atoms and molecules of the gaseous ensemble in
respect to the locations and behaviors of all the other ensembles of atoms and molecules,
and thus produces what Consciousness identifies as Social Conduct. Further, it is a
demonstrated fact that when this Directing Intelligence decides to abandon such atomic [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
