SIXTH LECTURE. FERMENTATION.

THE FIFTH OF THE SEVEN CREATIVE FRINCIFLES.

"We are brought this evening to the consideration of the fifth principle of creative energy. We have in the past considered, first, force, that which is the cause of action and also the cause of negation; second, discrimination, which distinguishes and causes everything to seek its kind; the third is order, which is that wondrous mechanic, so faithfully performing his duty in building everything in the world into variety and beauty of form, as we everywhere behold; fourth, cohesion, the mother-principle that we so love and venerate, and which works so faithfully in preserving, holding, and maintaining all things that have been brought into existence by the three prior forces. Now we come to the fifth principle; and let us for a moment consider the world, when all Nature is in full bloom, vegetation and animation beaming with life and beauty. This life and beauty would be immortal, unchangeable, were it not for the fifth principle, which comes in as a destroyer, to tear down that which has fulfilled its use, to scatter its parts, and, at the same time, to prepare for another state of existence where its atoms may return again, each to their own appointed further uses.

This, being the fifth principle, it is, consequently, stronger than any of those which have preceded it, therefore we find ourselves in a domain of struggle. This fifth principle has been represented to us from the time of antiquity as the old Serpent, the Devil, and Satan, that deceiver of the world. There are many reasons for this. First, that in the fall of the year, as the leaves fall, vegetation is cut off and the rain carries these leaves and decaying matter down into the swamps where fermentation holds its court and has its sway. The life essences that caused the vegetation and matured its existence are there brought within the province of the adverse principle of life; a struggle goes on and throws off unfit matter; and life itself, being immortal, Gathers itself into a new form. The first form of animation which is thus brought into existence by fermentation is that of the insect, reptile, and serpent. We find that the same law obtains in the first phase of life in the water, which is in the form of the reptile. In fact, the first form of everything that has life, ourselves included, in germ state, is that of the reptile, and these first forms of life always appear in that department of our nature or physical structure which answers to and is characterized by the principle of fermentation. We have observed and may have read that in autumn, as vegetation is decaying, there are great quantities of flies and insects in the air; at times the air seems to be literally filled with them, and the solution is given that we are having a great deal of decomposition of vegetation, and therefore these flies and insects. That is true,
