Excerpt from Library of Mesmerism and Psychology, Vol. 1: Comprising, Philosophy of Mesmerism, on Fascination, Electrical Psychology, the Macrocosm, Science of the Soul The main idea embraced in the discovery referred to is, that each complete system, or sub-system of creation, however great or small, is resolvable into seven serial parts or elemental degrees, corresponding to the seven notes of the diatonic scale; that, as composed of such parts, the systems are arranged side by side, or one above another, as so many octaves, corresponding to the octaves in music; and that, like them, each one serves as a general exponent of all the others, whether on a higher or lower scale. This idea, with its natural adjuncts, of which I can not here speak particularly, by harmonizing and unitizing all natural series and degrees of creation, also clearly illustrates the fact that all truths are involved in, and evolved from, one grand cen tral Truth; that they are, indeed, but parts and degrees of that one fundamental truth, which are ultimated in the various forms of em bodiment which compose the sum total of created existence. By pur suing the method of reasoning which this idea unfolds, I have endeav ored to make one portion of the system of nature expose the secrets of another, and caused visible facts and invisible principles to mutually cast their light upon each other.
