** "Unseen Universe."
----------
Therefore, the expression "life-atom," though apt in one sense to
mislead the reader, is not incorrect after all, since occultists do not
recognize that anything in Nature can be inorganic, and know of no "dead
atoms," whatever meaning science may give to the adjective. The law of
biogenesis, as ordinarily understood, is the result of the ignorance of
the man of science of occult physics. It is accepted because the man of
science is unable to find the necessary means to awaken into activity
the dormant life inherent in what he terms an inorganic atom; hence the
fallacy that a living thing can only be produced from a living thing, as
though there ever was such a thing as dead matter in Nature! At this
rate, and to be consistent, a mule ought to be also classed with
inorganic matter, since it is unable to reproduce itself and generate
life. We dwell so much upon the above as it meets at once all future
opposition to the idea that a mummy, several thousand years old, can be
throwing off atoms.
