The Spirituelle of Matter, Energy, All Divine, is, Life, God the All in All
M. L. Senderling
FOREWORD
As to the why, and the conditions under which this theory of “The Spirituelle of Matter” is offered to take a place in the creative thought of humanity, as an aid to refute by indisputable evidence the gross absurdities of a bald and vague materialism. The basis of this theory rests upon the evidences of a universal, or unitive, Energy “Knowable” through its operations and culminating in effects; an inference arrived at by induction from the one fact, that there is no indication of a self-generative energy anywhere in Nature.
I wish to criticise a tendency of scientists, especially Spencer, of “setting up straw men” (figuratively) in order to “knock them down,” and thus to gain the eclat of the superficial and of the Philistines of knowledge.
I desire also to make a plea for a rugged, vigorous manhood, unafraid to stand up to the consequences due to his own wrongful deeds, by accepting without flinching that which is his due without pleading the “baby-act;” an act to which a deaf ear is ever turned by inexorable Nature when a man is found guilty—knowingly or not—of violating her laws.
The convenient “namby-pambyism” of the day, to avoid the appearance of a “fuss,” is an indication of a canker beginning its attack on the vital processes upon which alone human ideals can become established. The absolute obedience to normal authority is the ideal, and if recognized as under the law of suasion by love—well! that is the highest and best. But there are some characters who have not arrived at that goal and need the more vigorous discipline of must, until Will conforms and meets the requirements of Law.
The writer grew up, from an early age, to exclusively commercia and industrial pursuits, having a limited experience in the fundamentals of education, yet possessing a fair degree of the faculty of observation and in early manhood strengthened his power of concentration of thought by developing new forms of machinery whereby to install better methods along mechanical and industrial lines.
This occupation has been, moreover, favorable in creating an interest’which put him en rapport with anything that bears upon better methods of arriving at practical results. His interest has not been confined to mechanical lines alone, but has broadened out into other lines of thought, conditioned, however, upon the same essential characteristics of accuracy demanded by mechanical necessities in order to insure the desired effect and further that those thoughts have strengthened the belief that there exists a reason for every condition as well as for the means by which those conditions are brought about.
I have used, therefore, such language as seems to express the thought in mind most clearly; trusting that others may strike at, or, criticise the theory underlying the thought rather than the language, except that any suggestion as to it will be exceedingly welcome where it can present the thought more clearly to others.
I wish to state here a fact in favor of the habit of early observation and reflection; that this theory was originally suggested while at the seashore by desultory thoughts as to the many “properties” of water and of air, which thoughts extended also to other objects, as the fruits of the earth, their manner of production, &c., as suggested to me from an experience when a small country boy.
This treatment of the subject should in no way be considered as a treatise, but as a statement of facts under personal experience and observation, with deductions therefr om.
One more thought as bearing upon the entire subject:
It is the effort toward making the corporeal and spiritual natures of human existence to co-ordinate with their respective types, that gives Religion its Sanction to demand that they be obedient to the laws of their relationships, as of Type to Type—a process which calls for the ever active consideration of the mental and moral faculties of the human race in order to fulfill their obligations under those relationships which none have a right to evade.
THE AUTHOR
THE SPIRITUELLE OF MATTER
Startling? Not if we can Comprehend its Significance!
In offering the following thoughts upon a new theory as to matter, with arguments in support thereof, I realize that it is difficult to make the thought clear by use of any existing etymology to express what I mean by “ Qualities ” of Matter, as this etymology has also a common significance, and likewise I realize that a coined word not of general recognition might also fail to be understood.
I therefore state that what I mean by “ Qualities ” of Matter is that something ever constant with Matter and inseparable from it, which admits of no analysis, either physically or psychologically[1], and yet is an all controlling factor in the operations of Nature which I choose to call the Spirituelle (Qualities) of Matter as entirely distinct from the material elements of “Atoms ” or of “ions,” etcetera.
I fully believe that these two elements exist in all matter, “Qualities” as being the Energy endowed upon all elements of Matter, and atoms, ions, electrons, or other infinitessimal divisions of matter as the vehicles, which under the excitationt of that Energy, create all the known forces in Nature.
[1] Copying an illustrious example, it might be called a part of, or, a reflex of* “THE UNKNOWABLE.”
[1] Interaction, due to variant content in degrees of energy constituting correlated forms, and, which lay dormant therein?
[1] As phenomena, or, as resultant effects.
THE SPIRITUELLE OF MATTER
To Expand the Following Postulate.
‘ ‘Qualities of Matter ” is that something ever constant with matter and inseparable from it.”
To be distinguished from “ Properties” of Matter in this, that “the term properties, as applied to bodies, we understand the different ways in which bodies present themselves to our senses,” while the term “Qualities ” convey a deeper significance than a material sense—consciousness; involving as the term does, a sense of comparison of ultimate elements and of their origin ; a power which is wholly outside of all physical sensation.
