Excerpt from Metaphysical Essays
I will not say that we can understand the beginning or first cause; but evidently it is easier to understand that a Law, or Force, existed by which atoms were drawn to coherence, than to believe that the atoms came together without law.
It is easier to understand, and more reasonable to believe, that there was a law, or force, by which the primordial atoms were attracted to each other, thus giving existence to forms, than that the atoms took form without law, and afterwards became the creator of law. Therefore it is easier to understand and more reasonable to suppose that the first cause of all things is law, or a force, inherent in atoms, than that God is a form or a person from whom all law came.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1895, postulates a metaphysical theory on the origins of all things. The author argues that an impersonal and universal force is the first cause of life, rather than a personal God, and that this force can be controlled by those who understand it. This book explores themes of the origin of life, the nature of reality, and the relationship between mind and matter. It suggests that the power of consciousness can influence the material world, and that the universe is fundamentally a harmonious and intelligent system. Overall, the insights in this book offer a framework for understanding the nature of reality and our place within it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
