Numerous readings that describe this period of technological advancement contain scattered wornings, to those who had the readings, to be careful to use their abilities for good or constructive purposes, rather than for bad or destructive reasons.  For example: "....in the Atlantean land when there were activities that brought about the second upheaval in the land.  There the entity was rather the electrical engineer, as would be called in the present: for the entity applied those forces or influences for the directing of airplanes, ships and what you would call today radio for destructive, as well as for constructive purposes: (no.1574-1,
April 19, 1938).

The readings also continue to mention the conflict between the two factions, the Sons of the Law of One and the Followers of Belial  The principles of this conflict
were established ages ago, but continue to this day: "....in the Atlantean land during those periods when there were those determining as to whether there
would be the application of the laws of the Children of One or of the Sons of Belial in turning into destructive channels those influences of  power as were being gained from the elements as well as from what is termed spiritual or supernatural powers in the present.  Entity wavered between choices and when the destruction came about by the use of those rays as were applied for beneficial forces, entity misapplied ability - HENCE THE INFLUENCE OF ATOMIC ENERGIES OR ELECTRICAL FORCES OF ANY NATURE BECOMES A CHANNEL FOR GOOD OR BAD TODAY"
(no. 1792-2, February 11, 1939).

Another quote refers to an incarnation in which one woman helped those who wanted to lose their animal characteristics and develop a more perfect physical body.   The time of this incarnation was given as "before the second destruction, "
which would place it before 28,000Bc.  "....aided in the attempts to establish for those that were developing or incoming from the thought forms into physical manifestations to gain the concept of what their activities should be to develop toward a perfection in physical body, losing many of the appurtenances that made for hindrances."   (no. 444-1, November 16, 1933)>

THE FIRESTONE


It was during the period of the second destruction that Cayce, in describing the technological advancement of the Atlanteans, used the terms   TUAOI STONE,
FIRESTONE and CRYSTALS  to describe a power source.  This power source was to become a key element of Atlantean civilization and was eventually responsible for the destruction itself.  Asked about the Tuaoi Stone, Cayce replied,


"It was in the form of a six-sided figure, in which the light appeared as the means of communication between infinity and the finite; or the means whereby there were the communications with those forces from which the energies radiated, as of the center from which there were the radial activities guiding the various forms of transition or travel through those periods of activity of the Atlanteans.

It was set as a crystal, though in quite a different form from that used there.  Do not confuse the two then, for there were many generations of difference.  It was in those periods when there was the directing of aeroplanes, or means of travel; though these in that time would travel in the air, or on the water, or under the water, just the same.  Yet the force from which these were directed was in this central power station, or Tuaoi Stone; which was as the beam upon which it acted.

In the beginning it was the source from which there was the spiritual and mental
contact. (no.2072-10, July 22, 1940).


This excerpt seems to mean that originally the so-called Tuaoi Stone or crystal was a means of communicating with the spiritual realm in the early days of Atlantean history, when people had begun to project into materiality.  LATER it became the term for any source from which great power radiated, and was then referred to as

 FIRESTONE or TERRIBLE CRYSTAL.

Another reading, which gives a graphic description of the firestone or crystal, sounds to me like a layperson's attempt to describe a giant laser.  Cayce was asked to "give an account of the electrical and mechanical knowledge of the entity as Asal Sine in Atlantis."  As always, in his answer Cayce related past lives to opportunities for individuals in the present:


"Yes, we have the entity's activities during that experience.  As indicated, the entity was associated with those that dealt with the mechanical appliances and their application during the experience.  And, as we find, it was a period when there was much that has not even been thought of as yet in the present experience.

About the firestone that was in the experience did the activities of the entity then make those applications that dealt with both the constructive and destructive forces in the period.

It would be well that there be given something of a description of this, that it may
be better understood by the entity in the present, as to how both constructive and destructive forces were generated by the activity of this stone.

In the center of a building, that today would be said to have been lined with non-conductive metals, or non-conductive stone - something akin to ASBESTOS, with the combined forces of BAKELITE or other non-conductors that are now being manufactured in England under a name that is well known to many of those that deal in such things.

The building above the stone was oval, or a dome wherein there could be or was the rolling back, so that the activity of the stone was received from the sun's rays, or from the stars; the concentrating of the energies that emanate from bodies that are on fire themselves - with the elements that are found and that are not found in the earth's atmosphere.  The concentration through the prisms or glass, as would be called in the present, was in such a manner that it acted upon the instruments that were connected with their various modes of travel, through induction methods - that made much the character of control as the remote control through radio vibrations or directions would be in the present day;  though the manner of the force that was impelled from the stone acted upon the motivating forces in the crafts themselves.

There was the preparations so that when the dome was rolled back, there might be little or no hindrance in the application direct to the various crafts that were to be impelled through space, whether in the radius of the visioning of the one eye, as it might be called, or whether directed under water or under other elements or through other elements.

The preparation of this stone was in the hands only of the initiates at the time, and the entity was among those that directed the influences of the radiation that arose in the form of the rays that were invisible to the eye but that acted upon the stones themselves as set in the motivating forces - whether the aircraft that were lifted by the gases in the period or whether guiding the more pleasure vehicles that might pass along close to the earth, or what would be termed the crafts on the water or under the water.

These, then,were impelled by the concentrating of the rays from the stone that was centered in the middle of the power station, or power house (that would be termed in the present)."


[This reading goes on to say that power stations of this sort were set up in various portions of Atlantis.  Unintentionally, they were] ".........tuned too high - and brought the second period of destructive forces to the peoples in the land, and broke up the land into the isles. (no.440-5, December 20, 1933.)

This power source was also used for medical treatment, just as lasers today are used in certain forms of surgery: "Through the same form of fire the bodies of individuals were regenerated, by the burning- through the application of the rays from the stone, the influences that brought destructive forces to an animal organism.  Hence the body rejuvenated itself often, and remained in that land until the eventual destruction." (no 440-5, December 20, 1933.)

Atlantis was not entirely destroyed in this second period of destruction.  The readings imply that a series of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and flooding split the remaining land into islands.  Another polar shift probably occurred, as some readings speak of a change in climate.  An advanced civilization still remained, even though some of the technology may have been lost in the sinking of much of the land.   The two factions survived this cataclysm and continued their feuding.  One reading speaks of this period: "....in the Atlantean land during those periods between the second and the last upheavals; when there were the great antagon-
istic feelings between the Sons of Belial and the children of the Law of One.  The
entity was among the Children of the Law of One  who made the greater overtures to those peoples for the acknowledging of the laborers, and to make their expe-
riences easier - those laborers that were considered by many as merely THINGS
rather than individual souls."  (no.1744-1, November 12, 1938).

That some technology survived the second destruction of Atlantis also is evident from these following extracts:


"........in the Atlantean land when there were the attempts to reconstruct the activities of the people after the second of upheavals or breaking up of the land or continent....applied materially electricity or electrical forces."  (no.1861-2, November 23, 1939.)   And


"........in that land now known as the Atlantean during those days when there were the attempts of those to bring quiet, to bring order out of the chaos by the destructive forces that had made for eruptions in the land, that had divided the lands and had changed not only the temperate to a more torrid region, but by the shifting of the activities of the earth itself."  (no. 884-1, april 9, 1935).


There is little further information in the readings about the period from 28,000BC to 10,000BC.  Atlantean culture and technology, however, appear to have prospered.

Most of the readings on Atlantis referred to the time of final destruction.  Like the readings that focused on the earlier periods, they described life situations in past
incarnations which had an impact on the present.  These lives help us to understand
Atlantean culture at the time, and lead up to the final destruction and migrations to lands of safety.

These last Atlanteans had long since taken on human form.  One reading describes an Atlantean at the time of the final destruction: "The Atlantean [378], five feet ten inches, weighing a hundred and sixty pounds; color as of GOLD that is burnished; yet
keen of eye, gray in color.  Hair as golden as the body.  In activity alert, keen piercing in vision, and of influence on those that approached. (no. 275-38, February 16, 1934.)

The people of Atlantis were as varied as people are today, some gaining in their experiences and some losing.  In the 18,000 years between the second and final destructions, some science survived, as did the factions, the sons of the Law of One and the Sons of Belial.  The following excerpts from the readings tell the stories of the people from Atlantis, and illustrate the diversity of lives at this time.

Some helped the oppressed and gained a great deal during this struggle: ".......the
entity was in the Atlantean land, when there were those periods of the oppressions by the sons of Belial and the children of the Law of One and those peoples in the lesser position of the laboring class.  The entity assisted in the lesser position of the laboring class.  The entity assisted its companion then to stand for those that were being given less and less privileges for the enjoyments of associations of their own families, the associations of the fruits of their won labors: (no. 1261-1, Septermer 14,
1936.)

Others gained through development of their special talents and coping with the difficult times during the final destruction:  "....the entity then one of the greater  en-
tertainers of the time, though not reaching any great height on account of the change in the ruler of the forces pertaining to entertainment of the peoples, during the change.  In the development, the entity gained much, especially in the way of
being amenable to conditions and able to work under any circumstance" (no.2665-2, July 17, 1925).

Another person was a priestess, who in that life focused on the physical aspects:
....in that country now submerged, and the entity among those in the high priest-
esses....Loving pomp, loving glory, loving in the desires of being bounded about those things that gave ease, comfort, and feelings of earthly conditions; yet losing
little in that experience" (no. 37-1, August 2, 1927.)

                                                                                                        continued



Between 11,000 BC and 10,000BC, whether from psychic perception or from an inter-
pretation of natural events, the leader of Atlantis came to realize that the remaining islands were about to break up and sink.  The submergence of these last islands took
place over a period of time and many inhabitants were able to flee the country.  This is not to say that the disappearance of the last bits of land was not violent or without the loss of life; but according to Edgar Cayce, many Atlanteans escaped to other countries, carrying with them records of their homeland.  This is illustrated by the following quotations from life readings:



With the realization of the children of the Law of One that there was to be the final breaking up of the Posidian-Atlantean lands, there were the emigrations, with many of the leaders, to the various lands. (no. 1007-3, June 26, 1938.)

"....in the Atlantean land when there was the breaking up of the isles and it had been given out that those that would or were to be saved must journey to the various centers to which the leaders had been given the passports.  The entity was among those that came first to what is now the Pyrenees and later to the activities,
after they had been set up years before, in the Egyptian land.  (no. 633-2, July 26,
1935.)

"....in Atlantean lands during those periods when there were the activities that brought about the last destruction through the warring of the sons of the Law of One and the sons of Belial....among those sent to what later became the Yucatan land.  (no.3611, December 31, 1943)

In most cases, details on the migrations are scattered through the life readings; but one general reading inquired into the origin and development of the Mayan civilization.  The following extract from this reading is quoted because of its connection with Atlantis and the specific date.


"....From time as counted in the present we would turn back to 10,600 years before the Prince of Peace came into the land of promise,and find a civilization being disturb-
ed by corruption from within to such measures, that the elements join in bringing devastation to a stiff-necked and adulterous people.

But understand, the surface was quite different from that which would be viewed in the present.  For, rather than being a tropical area it was more of the temperate, and quite varied in the conditions and positions of the face of the areas themselves.

In following such a civilization as a historical presentation, it may be better understood by taking into consideration the activities of an individual or group - or their contribution to such a civilization.  This of necessity, then, would not make for a
complete historical fact, but rather the activities of an individual and the follower, or those that chose one of their own as leader.

Then, with the leavings of the civilization in Atlantis (in Poseidia, more specific), Iltar -
with a group of followers that had been of the household of Atlan, the followers of
the worship of the One - with some ten individuals - left this land Poseidia, and came westward, entering what would now be a portion of Yucatan.  And there began, with the activities of the peoples there, the development into a civilization that rose much in the same manner as that which had been in the Atlantean land.  Others left the land later.  Others had left earlier.  There had been the upheavals also from the land of Mu, or Lemuria, and these had their part in the changing, or there was the injection of their tenets in the varied portions of the land- which was much greater in extent until the final upheaval of Atlantis, or the islands that were later upheaved, when much of the countour of the land in Central America and Mexico was changed to that similar in outline to that which may be seen in the present." (no.5750-1, November 12, 1933


Some Atlanteans used their skills to build a new life during the migrations:"....the entity was in the Atlantean land, during the periods when there were many of the divisions that called for and produced the destructive forces in that land.  Yet when there were the expressions of those in power to raise those who were of the menial class, or the workers in the fields of activity that brought what is known as the agricultural or the social service, the entity was the itermediator for the own peoples of the lower class or caste to those of the higher....

....among those that went....eventually to that known as the Yucatan and Central American land; for in those sojourns the entity was active in establishing a development in the agricultural field, or the growth of those things that made for the sustenance in the new land."  (no.801-1, January 27, 1935)

A number of readings give incarnations in Egypt at the time of the last destruction
of Atlantis.  A good bit of material is included in these readings about Atlanteans coming into Egypt and the records they brought with them.  We will go into this story at length in another chapter, which discusses the Edgar Cayce's Foundation's exploration in Egypt.

Although its technology may not have been as high as in past times, Atlantis still had an advanced civilization when the last islands disappeared into the sea.  Communication and travel existed between Atlantis and other countries, such as
India, Gobi, The Pyrenees, Peru, the Yucatan, parts of North America and Egypt.  One reading even mentioned Indochina and Siam (now Thailand).  Vocations were as varied then as now; people were psychologists, chemists, teachers, and diplo-
mats.  A type of aircraft was still in use,and some type of electrical treatments were used in hospitals to remove "appendages" from those still bearing these animal
characteristics.  For example:"....in Poseidia before the final breaking up....controll-
ed activities regarding communications with many lands and the flying boats that
moved through the air or water were means whereby the entity carried many to the Iberian lands, later to Egypt, when it had been determined the records were to be kept there....found land in a turmoil...later with return of priest joined with move-
ments for the regeneration of the bodies of "things" in that period.  Again active in
communications." (no.3184-1, August 28, 1943.)

Another reading specifically mentions the last "destruction":
"....conducted people from Atlantis to Egypt previous to the last destruction......
......worked with adorning buildings with gems and precious stones."  (no.955-1, July 20, 1935.)

Another mentions the "complete destruction," which we can assume means the
last: "....in Atlantis when there was rebellions by children of Belial....and preparations for leaving because of upheavals and influences that were to bring
about the complete destruction....journeyed to what is now a part of Spain, later to the Egyptian land." (no.2283-1, June 14, 1940).

The final detruction of the last islands, like the first two, may have included a polar shift and a climatic change along with the volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.  Details are lacking, other than that the submergence of the land took place over a period of time and many of the inhabitants had time to go to other countries.

Cayce gave no exact date for the disappearance of the last island.  People were said to have fled Atlantis as early as 10,500BC; other dates nearer to 10,000BC mention people fleeing to Egypt carrying records with them.  The final disappearance was probably after 10,000BC for the following reading - one of the first ever given mentioning Atlantis - gives an incarnation in Atlantis about 10,000BC: "....In the one before this, we find in that fair country of Alta or Poseidia proper....in the household of the ruler of that country....This was nearly 10,000 ears before the Prince of Peace came." (no.288-1, November 20, 1922)

The disappearance of the last islands marks the end of Atlantean history and the end of this chapter.  A following chapter explores the posssibility that records of Atlantis were buried in Egypt and the Edgar Cayce Foundation's search for these records, as well as its efforts to date the Great Pyramid.  Should such records ever be found, history would have to be rewritten.

How could such a technically advanced civilization have existed as recently as
12,000 years ago and as long as 50,000 years ago and simply have vanished without a trace?"  Perhaps there are traces and we haven't looked for them in the
right places.  Archaeological work is expensive and time consuming.  It does not concern the public as much as who will win the World Series or the Super Bowl.
It does not receive a fraction of the support our government gives the defense
budget.    {this book was written in 1988 - no Brittany or Nicole then - or Iraq or
Bushco - (mycomments - Bianca)}.

How could an advanced civilization vanish?  Think a moment.  The more technically advanced a civilization is, the easier it is to destroy.  Suppose the United States were to sink into the sea.  Suppose the survivors had to flee to remote areas, such as the headwaters of the Amazon or the heart of Africa, where people live very pri-
mitive lives.  The survivors could not take their four-wheel-drive trucks with them;
there would be no roads and no fuel.  Their radios and TVs would be useless with-
out broadcasting stations.  Without credit cards and supermarkets, the majority
would have difficulty surviving the first year.  Those who did survive would do so
by adapting to a life very much like that of the natives of the land to which they
came.  After a few hundred years, only legends of their homeland would remain.  After 12,000, it is unlikely that any trace of them could be found.

I believe Edgar Evans Cayce was the first one to set this timeline with the dates 50,000, 28,000 and 10,000 BC in his 1968 book.  I do not think there is enough evidence in the readings to be so specific. 

For example, take this reading:


364-11
(Q) What was the date of the first distruction, estimating in our present day system of counting time in years BC?
(A)  Seven thousand five hundred (7,500) before the final distruction which came as has been given."


So this would indicate a much closer time period for the three destructions, no matter what our starting or ending dates were.




________________________________________________________


I agree with you, Tom.  If you tell me your source, I'll be glad to send ARE an
e-mail and ask them.  I believe Edgar Evans Cayce is still alive.  Also his daughter
Gail - who co-authored the revised book - is still involved with the Foundation.
Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.

According to your quote, there is also no reference to a second distruction.

I apologize for not answering you sooner.

Love and Peace.

Hi Bianca,

I didn't know whether to make a comment on your posts or not because I didn't want to interfere with what you are trying to do.  I'm not sure what you meant about my source.  In the quote I stated that the text is from Reading number 364-11.  As you probably know, the entire 364 series was devoted to the subject of Atlantis.  I am sure that Edgar Evans is very much aware of this reading as well as all of the other readings that relate to Atlantis.  For whatever reason, he chose to ignore this one.  Edgar Evans wrote this book almost 40 years ago and is now 89 years old.  What purpose would it serve to challenge or embarrass him at this late date?  I prefer to consider it simply a difference of opinion.

My best to you,

Tom

[Bianca]

Sorry, Tom.  I thought you were quoting the reading from another book or source.

I checked with Greg Little's book (that you also have, I think) and he gives the
same time-frame as Edgar Evans'.  Maybe there's a - '0' - missing?

You're right, we will leave it alone.  My mother is 89 also and I wouldn't dream
of upsetting her, either.....Still.......

Nevertheless, next time I'm over at ARE, I'm going to check that reading.......


Thanks for answering,

Bianca,

I had assumed that you had access to the readings either through the CD ROM or online with A.R.E. membership.  Here is the complete reading.  I would not want you to make a special trip to Headquarters. 

TEXT OF READING 364-11

This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home in Pinewood on Lake Drive, Virginia Beach, Va., this 29th day of April, 1932, in accordance with request made by those present.

P R E S E N T

Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mildred Davis, Gray Salter, H. L. and L. B. Cayce.

R E A D I N G

Time of Reading 10:40 A. M.

1. GC: You will have before you the information given through this channel on the lost continent of Atlantis. You will continue with this information, and will answer the questions which I will ask regarding this:

2. EC: Yes. As to why, then, each individual must be, and is, the keeper of his own vineyard? For there is, as from the beginning, in each entity that - of the Father, or the First Cause - that enables one to make manifest even in the material world through the attributes OF the First Cause, that makes for the manifestation OF that power, or force, in a material world. As to what one does WITH same is an action of the will that entity himself, or herself.

3. As to occult or psychic science, as called, then - it is, as we have found through some manifestations, that these forces are first recognized in or by the individual. Hence, as has been seen, in the beginning these were the natural expressions of an entity. As there developed more of the individual association with material conditions, and they partook of same in such a manner as to become wholly or in part a portion OF same, farther - or more hidden, more unseen - has become occult or psychic manifestations. First there were the occasional harking back. Later by dream. Again we find individuals raised in certain sections for specific purposes. As the cycle has gone about, time and again has there arisen in the earth those that MANIFESTED these forces in a more magnificent, more beneficent, way and manner. And, as has been given, again the time draws near when there shall be seen and known among men, in many places, the manifestations of such forces in the material world; for "As ye have seen him go, so will He return again." Be thou faithful unto those words He has given while yet with you. Hence it behooves every individual to take cognizance of that force that may manifest in their material lives, even in this material age; for those that become ashamed for His sake - for THAT sake - of that that may manifest (which is as the Spirit's manner of activity) through those many channels that are open to those who will look up, lift up - and these, we find, are often in the lowliest of places and circumstances. Why? Since these are forces of the Most High, since these supplied - as of old - those secular things in abundance, and were supplied the needs not only of the physical being but of the mental and spiritual also, contributing to those forces as made for the gratification also of that builded in a material world, does it become any wonder that he that shall be abased and remains true shall wear the Crown of Life? Does it become unreasonable, then, that ye are being chastised for that which has been builded within the material forces of the body itself, that must be tried so as by fire? for the chaff must be burned out! Even as with the use of those sources of information, the abilities to become a portion of those elements that were the creative forces OF the compounds or elements within the universal forces, at that period brought about those forces that made for destruction of the land itself, in the attempt to draw that as was in man then back TO the knowledge; and these brought about those destructive forces (that are known today) in gases, with that called the death ray [See 364-11, Par. R2], that brought from the bowels of the earth itself - when turned into the sources of supply - those destructions to portions of the land. Man has ever (even as then) when in distress, either mental, spiritual OR physical, sought to know his association, his connection, with the divine forces that brought the worlds into being. As these are sought, so does the promise hold true - or that given man from the beginning, "Will ye be my children, I will be thy God!" "Ye turn your face from me, my face is turned from thee", and those things ye have builded in thine own endeavor to make manifest thine own powers bring those certain destructions in the lives of individuals in the present, even as in those first experiences with the use of those powers that are so tabu by the worldly-wise, that are looked upon as old men's tales and women's fables; yet in the strength of such forces do WORLDS come into being!

4. THIS is what psychic force, and so called occult science, DID mean, HAS meant, DOES mean in the world today.

5. Ready for questions.

6. (Q) Describe in more detail the causes and effects of the destruction of the part of Atlantis now the Sargasso sea.
(A) As there were those individuals that attempted to bring again to the mind of man more of those forces that are manifest by the closer association of the mental and spiritual, or the soul forces that were more and more as individual and personal forms in the world, the use of the these elements - as for the building up, or the passage of individuals through space - brought the uses of the gases then (in the existent forces), and the individuals being able to become the elements, and elementals themselves, added to that used in the form of what is at present known as the raising of the powers from the sun itself, to the ray that makes for disintegration of the atom, in the gaseous forces formed, and brought about the destruction in that portion of the land now presented, or represented, or called, Sargasso sea.

7. (Q) What was the date of the first destruction, estimating in our present day system of counting time in years B.C.?
(A) Seven thousand five hundred (7,500) years before the final destruction, which came as has been given.

8. (Q) Please give a few details regarding the physiognomy, habits, customs and costumes of the people of Atlantis during the period just before this first destruction.
(A) These, as we find, will require their being separated in the gradual development of the body and its physiognomy as it came into being in the various portions of that land, as well as to those that would separate themselves from those peoples where there were the indwelling of peoples, or man - as man, in the various areas of the land, or what we call world.

In the matter of form, as we find, first there were those as projections from that about the animal kingdom; for the THOUGHT bodies gradually took form, and the various COMBINATIONS (as may be called) of the various forces that called or classified themselves as gods, or rulers over - whether herds, or fowls, or fishes, etc. - in PART that kingdom and part of that as gradually evolved into a physiognomy much in the form of the present day may (were one chosen of those that were, or are, the nearest representative of the race of peoples that existed in this first period as the first destructions came about). These took on MANY sizes as to stature, from that as may be called the midget to the giants - for there were giants in the earth in those days, men as tall as (what would be termed today) ten to twelve feet in stature, and in proportion - well proportioned throughout. The ones that became the most USEFUL were those as would be classified (or called in the present) as the IDEAL stature, that was of both male and female (as those separations had been begun); and the most ideal (as would be called) was Adam, who was in that period when he (Adam) appeared as five in one - See?

In this the physiognomy was that of a full head, with an extra EYE - as it were - in those portions that became what is known as the EYE. In the beginning these appeared in WHATEVER portion was desired by the body for its use!

As for the dress, those in the beginning were (and the Lord made for them coats) of the skins of the animals. These covered the parts of their person that had become, then, as those portions of their physiognomy that had brought much of the desires that made for destructive forces in their own experience; and these then were of those ABOUT them that were given as meat, or used as same - that partook of the herbs. These were those same herbs that the seed were to have been for food for the man in self, and only those that partook of same may be called even CLEAN - in the present day. Those that supply those same materials that are the proper building for the forces within the anatomical forces, or physiological forces, of a developing body; for these carry all the elements in their natural state. Little of minerals should ever be the properties within the system, save as may be taken through the vegetable forces, save where individuals have so laxed themselves as to require or need that which will make for an even balance of same.
