                           AERIAL NAVIGATION

  The universe is ONE. There is no supernatural: all is related, cause
  and sequence. Nothing exists but substance and its modes of motion.

                                Spinoza.

        John Stuart Mill, in order to protect science, carried
        empiricism to its extreme sceptical consequences, and thereby
        cut the ground from under the feet of all science.--Professor
        Otto Pfleiderer, D.D.

        The word of our God shall stand for ever.--Isa. xl. 8.

        Imagination is wholly taken captive by the stupendous
        revelation of the God-force which modern conceptions of
        the Cosmos furnish. Through the whole universe beats the
        one life-force, that is God, controlling every molecule
        in the petal of a daisy, in the meteoric ring of Saturn,
        in the remotest nebula that outskirts space, as though
        that molecule were the universe. In each molecule and atom
        God lives and moves and has His being, thereby sustaining
        theirs.... Prophet after prophet cries, and psalmist after
        psalmist sings, that so indeed he has found it; that therein
        is the divine sonship of man, therein the assurance of eternal
        life.--Rev. R. A. Armstrong.

        The living man with his interior consciousness of self and
        individuality is on two planes of nature at once, as a ship
        is in two media at once, half in the water and half in the
        air. To manage your ship successfully you must take cognizance
        of the laws governing each of those media. To deal successfully
        with your human being you must understand his physiology
        no doubt, but you must equally understand his psychology,
        and something of the collateral phenomena of nature in those
        regions or planes to which the phenomena of the psychic man
        belong.--A. P. Sinnett.

        The splendid generalizations of our physicists and our
        naturalists, have had for me an enthralling and entrancing
        interest. I find as I look out on the world, in the light of
        all this new knowledge, a pressure of God upon consciousness
        everywhere; and if this physical force which is God, moves
        through, sustains, communes, with each smallest physical
        atom of the whole, much more must that conscious energy
        which is God, move through, sustain, commune with, these
        conscious atoms
