Continuity of Life a Cosmic Truth CONTINUITY OF LIFE A COSMIC TRUTH. BASED UPON • THE PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY AND THE CO-RELATIONS OF NATURE'S ELEMENTS, ENERGIES AND FORCES. BY PROF. W. M. LOCKWOOD. OF CHICAP.O. ILL. 1902 Digitized byGoogle LIBRARY OF THE Uniml llaJigical Seminary NEW YORK CITY PRESENTED BY'/~.& OOM "(.. J~ ~~~.lliHf JUL 81 Hl33 ~----------------------~. Gopyright, 1902, By W. M. Lockwood, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington, D. C. Digitized by Coogle ~ttl t; • L <6\ 1 . 285~9 INTRODUCTION. How many are the centuries of time that have rolled away since man first questioned the possibility of '' life beyond the grave!" How earnestly he has sought in every avenue of his existence, and his experiences for some token, -some indication that beyond the horizon of the grave there is an after life. Seeing around him on every hand indications of the continuity of cosmic processes, expressed in formations of rock, whose surface seems to his unskilled vision, to resist nature's elements and forces; noting the seeming perpetuity of mountain range, of seas and oceans, or gazing into the starry vault of azure blue, and sensing within his sensitive soul that these have swung in space for aeons of time, he questions the continuity of human life as an expression of existence, iri comparison to these factors of earth and sky. '' Why should sentient existence cease," he queries, '• when non-sentient forms defy the ravages of centuries ? " ' '' How can it happen," he asks, '' that a soul conscious of its consciousness loses its identity at the grave, while yonder range of mountains whose snow-capped sum­ mit seems wrapped in cloud, bears evidence of the forma­ tive ages of time ? " '' Why is it," he pleads, • 'that the sentient progressive soul of man seems lost to sight, buried in oblivion at the termination of earth existence, while yonder tree, monarch of the forest, whose leaves and branches have been kissed by the sunshine and rain of cen­ turies, still swings its great arms defiant to time's ravages ? " •• Is consciousness, the knowing attribute of the soul of man, less permanent than the principles of cosmic process that nourished it into being, and supported its earth exist­ ence?" To these pleading interrogations of his soul, the 3 Digitized byGoogle 4 INTRODUCTION. gods are silent. In vain has he questioned the sacred cos­ moganies of ancient Egypt, and India, hoping to find in the wisdom of its sages and thinkers some fact in the keep­ ing of the Orient, disclosing the identity of human exist­ ence in some soul form, beyond the obscuring shadows of the tomb. In vain has he perused the mythological theog- · onies of prehistoric ages, as expressed in star worship, in legends of poesy, and traditions of prose:-he finds only in these ancient records, the source from which have sprung all religious fantasy and worship in the history of the world. Here, and here alone is the origin of all Bibles and Sacred· Cosmogonies expressed in sentiments of poesy and re­ clothed in metaphor and allegory by the genius of a Homeric· age, and given to the world as the voice of God to man. What mockery to offer these fables of a pagan age in answer to the earnest inquiry of honest manhood as to future life! How low and superstitious the intellect, that . instructs that mystery, miracle and credulity are the prem­ ises of such knowledge and the basis of a true inspiration, the source of a true revelation! What wonder that nations rise and fall, or that civilizations come and fade away, whose moral ethics and ideas of the continuity of life are built upon the mysteries of Godliness, and the worship of a :being who can be supplicated, coaxed and cajoled, by the .selfish mouthing prayers of a dominant priesthood. What wonder that man loses respect for the clerical oligarchs of :an age that offer these sensual mythologies as an answer to his pleadings for precise data, and knowledge of life beyond earth existence. No telescope of a Galileo or Newton can sweep the horizon of these dreams of mystery, no crucible of the chemist, no chemical balance of a Lavo­ sier, no equation of chemical energies by a Michael Farra­ day, no X-ray by·a Roentgen, no wireless telegraphy by a Marconi, no meter of etheric energies by a Sir William Thompson, no evidence of the evolution of man from Digitized byGoogle INTRODUCT,lON. 5 nature's bosom by a Darwin or Huxley, can lend one demonstration of truth to these Claims of theology, in the realm which the priest affirms to be the source of true in­ spiration. In all of the gleanings of the Orient, from the mytho­ logical traditions of Egypt's former greatness, from the relics of the Vedic Aryan race oflndia, from the speculative theogony of Persia antedating the time of Zoroaster, from the Puranas of Brahmic theosophy, in all the Bibles known to ancient and modern ecclesiasticism, there t"s no proof of z"ndt"vt"dual existence beyond t!te pltysz"cal dt"s­ solutz"on of t!te mortal organism. In the estatic vision of oracles and sybils, in the inspiration of seer, priest and prophet, can be found additional testimony only to the hope of the world, that life beyond the horizon of earth's experi­ ences may be realized after the change called death. But testimony, however voluminous, IS NOT PROOF. The testimony of man, however framed in sentiment, ex­ pressed in poetical imagery, in historical legends, or in Bibles and sacred writings, adds only human opinion to a ·dominant thought of a definite age, and however thoroughly accepted it may be by the concensus of popular opinion, it utterly fa£/s to establz"s!t proof of a truth. In vain has the priest in all ages sought to establish a truth upon the accepted, but undemonstrated, opinions of men. He has borrowed from mythology the poetical imagery of its gods and clothed them with anthropomorphic attributes and omnipotence, and set them before the world as objects for psychic worship and invocation, inviting trust in their power to save, and faith in their omniescence. He has borrowed from the same source its fabled hells and heavens, its demons of revenge and its immaculate Saviours-progeny of adulterous gods wiih sensuous women, thus seeking and making an adulterous act the premise of easy atonement, and the fear of hell the scourge to impress all mankind Digitized byGoogle 6 INTRODUCTION. that he, the priest, had the power and the exclusive right to pilot the soul of man into a life of eternal bliss. Failing in this through some perversity of human nature, he, as an assumed vicegerent of an omnipotent God, sends the soul of man psychically to an '' Eternal perdition," where, in strange oppositi~n to the precept of '' Universal love for all mankind," all the gods ever known to the history of time, aid the priest, the demons, and the devils, in heaping pangs of suffering upon the soul of man, in the agonies of hell. What low and vicious fanged ideal is this, to which the muse and the poet have lent their willing support for untold centuries of time, and the civilizations of the world assent to, as the bases of virtue and morality here, and the hope of a life to come! Why is it, we ask, that the data of the biologist, whose sphere of investigation includes some knowledge of the various forms and types of plasmatic and bio-plasmatic life, including man, are set aside as having no value as compared to this theology of mythology, since his gleanings. cover a vast field of the greatest importance in the final settlement of this question? Why is it that the physicist, whose labor is to trace the formula and unity of cosmic processes, has not been allowed a hearing in the presenta­ tion of his facts bearing upon the eternal co-relations of elements, energies and matter in process of combination and development, whose field of research includes an anal­ ysis of Nature's formula of "invisible modes of motion" which are operative in all forms and types of growth known to cosmic process, including the co-relation of conscious mental modes of motion to matter, no less than the rela­ tion of consciousness to consciousness on every plane of existence? Why is it, we ask, that these inductions of vital importance in all investigations of the relations of conscious life here to possible and probable conscious life Digitized byGoogle INTRODUCTION. 7 beyond the grave, are set aside by this priestly and preten­ tious hierarchy, who affirm and insist that man's most val­ uable truths come from his faith in miracles, and his wis­ dom in the acceptance of mystery as the basis of knowl­ edge! This arrogant infidelity is an insult to every college and school of inductive reasoning, and a shameful com­ mentary on a civilized age! But science, that great searchlight of truth and error, whose genius dares to penetrate every realm of Nature, and every avenue of human thought, and fearlessly to scan an error, and to disclose, when found, its incongruities and inconsistencies, is wresting from theology and its priests the vagaries upon which they build their purgatories and hells, the saints' asylums and heavens, the revengeful and adulterous gods, and the immaculate concept~ons; and dem­ onstrates that these low and sensuous concepts had their origin in the mythological astrology of a pre-historic age, and that they are unsupported by any data bearing upon the truth of life in a future state of existence, save that of credulity and the picturing power of the human intellect.

  • Modernism's Critique Du Coeur: the Novelist As Critic, 1885-1925 A
    Modernism’s Critique du Coeur: The Novelist as Critic, 1885-1925 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY John Pistelli IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Lois Cucullu, advisor May 2013 © John Pistelli 2013 i Acknowledgements Thanks go first to my committee. My advisor, Lois Cucullu, offered worldly advice, an open mind, and, perhaps above all, a model of scholarly style—provocative and ornamented in equal measure—that served me well in my quest to unite criticism and art. Brian Goldberg’s commitment to reasoned, witty, and sensible debate about literature set an important example, while Richard Leppert’s comprehensive understanding of modern culture in all its aspects provided me with a standard. Tony Brown combined a severe critical eye with exemplary personal generosity—his guidance goes back to my first days in graduate school, and I thank him here at the end of the journey. Both the English Department and the Graduate School at the University of Minnesota offered financial support at times in the form of scholarships and travel grants to conferences. I thank these institutions and their faculty and staff. I would also like to acknowledge the generous support of the National Endowment for the Humanities, which enabled me to participate in the 2012 Oscar Wilde and His Circle summer seminar at UCLA. I thank the NEH, seminar director Joseph Bristow, all my seminar colleagues, and the curators and staff of The William Andrews Clark Memorial Library. Without them, the chapter on Wilde would be impoverished.

  • The Wiles of the Wicked
    The Wiles of the Wicked by William Le Queux The Wiles Of The Wicked Chapter One. Why This is Written. Wilford Heaton is not my real name, for why should I publish it to the world? The reason I do not give it is, first, because I have no desire to be made the object of idle curiosity or speculation, and secondly, although the explanation herein given will clear the honour of one of the most powerful of the Imperial Houses in Europe, I have no wish that my true name should be associated with it. I have, however, a reason for writing this narrative—a very strong reason. The story is an enthralling one; the adventures stranger, perhaps, than ever happened to any other living person. I have resolved to relate the plain unvarnished facts in their sequence, just as they occurred, without seeking to suppress or embellish, but to recount the strange adventures just as they are registered in the small leather portfolio, or secret dossier, which still, at this moment, reposes in the archives of a certain Ministry in one of the European capitals. There have recently been stories afloat—strange stories. At first I laughed at all the absurd rumours, but very quickly I saw how seriously distorted the real facts had become, for ingenious paragraphs of certain so-called Society papers, grasping the story eagerly, worked it up into a narrative which reflected very seriously upon the honour of one who is dearest in all the world to me. Well, my tale—or exposure—is written here.

    Educational Resources for the “I Remember...” Oral History Art Show The Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) ORAL HISTORY and ART LESSON PLAN PACKET to accompany the “I Remember” project We all have stories to tell about our lives. When told they help put our memories and experiences in mental order. If we do not share or communicate these experiences and observations of our lifetime in writing or by word- of- mouth, the data is forever lost. There is much to learn from these stories, much to share, and much to help humanity grow. Louisiana wetlands are in a similar situation. If they are not protected or restored they will be lost forever. The Louisiana marshes, swamplands, barrier islands, and other coastal habitats are the fastest disappearing landmasses in the world. But, the people of Louisiana and the United States are trying to save portions of the essential habitats through the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) efforts. This program builds new land and protects fragile coastal habitats. To date, CWPPRA has prepared nearly 150 coastal restoration projects which protect, create, or restore over 112,000 acres and enhance approximately 550,000 acres of wetland habitat. (See more at LACoast.gov.) This oral history and art project was created in conjunction with the land restoration projects in an effort increase awareness and attempt to rescue Louisiana’s fragile coastline. The connection between people and the land is strong in many places around the globe. This oral history and art project is designed to be a thoughtful reflection and self-examination of the connection between people and the land that is being saved and lost.

Alone in the city and with nothing of consequence to do, he attempts to justify to himself the ways of God, the sense of an early death and what is the good to do in life. In this excerpt of Time Spent Away, Joshua seeks out the hidden aspects of the city and his spirit. Guided by his father’s Bible and the formative texts of his undergrad- uate coursework, he sets out to complete his own education. During a tour of The Audi- torium Building Joshua meets Felix Servo, a preserver of historic landmarks and an archi- tectural enthusiast, who will show Joshua the city heights in a new way.
