SPACE has no size and cannot be measured.

But the contents of Space have size and can be measured.

The only way the contents of Space can be measured and size established is by comparing one thing with another.

If all things were alike there could be no size because there could be no comparison of one thing with another.

So a microbe is described as small in size by comparing it to a man, but the Earth is described as large in size in comparison to man.

The Solar System is described as large in size by comparing it to the Earth, but the Solar System is described as small in size by comparing it to the Universe.

The different comparisons in size of the contents of Space are made possible through the operation of SCOPE.

In order for man to see a microbe he must look through a microscope. In order for man to see the Solar System he must look through a telescope.

Through different grades of glasses man can bring to his vision things both large and small which he cannot see with his naked eye.

Man’s eye has been developed to see things within his own scope. It has been constructed to see through lesser densities that contain living things of lesser scope.

Man’s eye has been built to see through the air but not to see the different living things within the air.

Man’s eye has not been made to see those elements that compose heat, light, electricity, sound and mentality. Such things are not within man’s scope.

Man refers to things too small to be seen by his naked eye as microscopic. Still, those things that man claims are small, because he cannot see them, are not small. They are large—very large—when compared with other things of lesser scope.

All matter throughout space contains living creatures too small for the naked eye of man to see.

In my book MANLIFE, published in the year of 1923, I called these microscopic creatures Mental Organisms.

The work of Mental Organisms is to supervise the building up and tearing down of material things by the power of suction and pressure.

It is owing to the thoroughness of the work of these Mental Organisms that Nature is enabled to utilize all matter eternally without the loss of a particle. I have defined ECONOMICS as the utilization of everything without the loss of anything.

These Mental Organisms see to it that every particle of matter extant is used over and over again for useful purposes.

There are two distinct kinds of Mental Organisms—one kind builds up and the other tears down things. One is constructive and the other is destructive. The intelligent ones build and the ignorant ones destroy.

The intelligent Mental Organisms, that I have named MENORGS, develop life while the ignorant Mental Organisms, that I have named DISORGS, degrade and destroy life.

So everything that comes within the scope of man is built up and torn down by microscopic creatures too small for him to see with his naked eye.

Mental Organisms supervise the construction and destruction of all plant life; all insect life; all fish, bird and animal life. They build man and then tear him to pieces again.

Mental Organisms supervise the building of trees and the creation of the fruits that come therefrom They supervise the building of bushes and the creation of berries that come therefrom. They supervise the creation of vegetables, grains and all other food substances that go to make up physical man.

These little builders require materials for their constructional work and so they extract the different elements from the different densities of heat, light electricity, sound, mentality, air, water and gases which ooze out of the pores of the crust of the earth.

And right there is where a Greater Power than either microbe or man manifests Himself.

For the construction of plant life these Mental Organisms must have water, soil and sunlight from which to extract their building materials. So a Greater Planner shows His masterful handiwork therein.

The low lands of the Earth act as basins for water to rest within as the Earth’s suction draws the greater density water nearer to its center of attraction than it does the lesser densities of air, heat, light or gases.

For that reason a large part of the Earth’s surface is devoid of water.

So in order to furnish water for the dry soil necessary for the cultivation of plant life the Omnipotent transports the heat from the sun, mixes it with the water in the basins and changes it to vapor which being of a lesser density than air, penetrates it, and rises to a higher altitude where the cooler atmosphere withdraws the heat and leaves it water again.

In the meantime the mixture of heat from the Sun with the Air at the crust of the Earth creates Currents which carry the clouds containing the water over the dry lands and dump it thereon in the shape of rain, thus furnishing the microscopic builders the elements needed from the water to enable them to construct the plants.

The microscopic builders differentiate in the construction of plants by the utilization of different proportions of the elements most suitable to their different methods of planning.

The Menorgs are real thinkers and planners and they put their patterns into seeds from which they develop their complete plans through growth.

And that is where Scope manifests itself.

A small Acorn contains the plans for the building of a great Oak tree that requires many years of constructional work by untold billions of Menorgs before it is finally completed and reaches a reproductive state.
