Excerpt from book: Ill THE VOICE OF SCIENCE Though it deals exclusively with what we are accustomed to regard as non-psychic reality, the science of today stands conspicuous in opposition to this claim which death makes. The realm of science stretches wide and far. Therein clearly marked lines of latitude and longitude extend throughout, and we may rest assured those lines extend on and still on through the psychic realm as well, and without swerve. Change, change, eternal change of form but never extinction of fact, such is nature's law as exhibited to every eye of science, and science has myriad eyes, with sense exceeding fine. Always and everywhere, non-extinction is nature's imperious command. Each meanest mote of matter's dust doth hide a king, divinity doth hedge. He may his vesture's fashion change, or may put on the Gyges ring: he ne'er shall abdicate. Though worlds may crash, and matter wreck, or seethe in flame with fervent heat, and seeming chaos come again, without a tremor, still enthroned, his royal plumage all unscathed, his power nor jot nor tittle bates. When comes the time, as come it shall, when seemingly this solid earth, yon flaming sun, and all that his wide eye beholds, in sheer vacuity dissolves likedream one dreams of having dreamed, or airy dream of fairy elves, when gleaming banners of the day wake elves own selves to nothingness, his crown serene he still shall wear, shall still his royal sceptre wield. Whether reality be named matter or soul, reality is eternal. Any fact shows every fact in variant form. We are not environed with void: Void is reified negation, unthinkable and impossible in fact. When fancy would paint she must go to fact for her colors, but void is absence of fact and not color. Some other reality is the only boundary of any reality... --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
