If a man of 50 years can demonstrate the same physical standard as the average man of 25
years, then he is comparatively as
young as the average man of 25
years of age; or if a man of 100
years is as efficient as the average
man of 50 years, then he is from
a useful point of view but 50 years
young.
One aviator will wreck a new airplane the first day he takes it aloft, while another aviator will keep the same type machine in service for several years; the difference in the lives of the two machines lying in the knowledge of, and the care given them, by different aviators. One man will die at 25 while another will live to be 100 years of age in accordance with the care given to their respective bodies by each of them, irrespective of the age of either of them. A well old man is certainly more to be admired than a sick young man. He who is sick proves that he is weak and nature shuns weakness. Nature knows no pity and shows no favors; it establishes the rules and they must be obeyed or the consequences must be taken. Ignorance of the rules secures no leniency and we are supposed to learn them from observation and experience.” Now, man is a combination of substances drawn together by the power of suction and then squeezed apart again by the power of pressure. There are certain microscopic creatures that use these powers to mould these substances into a mechanical man and operate him to the best advantage under the conditions that the solar system provides. My copyrighted book MENTALITY says: “By microscopic action Nature enlarges the scope of living things. They build their models in seed of one scope and density and then draw within by suction, materials from without and by expansive assimilation they create living things of greater scope and density. On the surface of the Earth the planning and building program of these micro-organisms was very simple at the start, but with much practical experience and a larger assortment of materials to work with they gradually gained efficiency in creating more complex forms of life. The earth at one time was but a swirling mass of densities trying to reach a central suction point. But, little by little, this swirling mass was drawn closer together towards the center until it rounded itself into circular form and then developed a crust of solid matter as a protection against external influences. In order to prevent internal heat and gases from exploding it, pores were developed in the crust of the Earth through which waste matter could be conveniently eliminated. From waste matter oozing through the pores of its crust as heat and gases and then mixing with the elements of air and water which surround the Earth, plus the elements from the Sun, Menorgs create living things of greater scope than themselves. Vegetation was the first organic life to be in- |
