Excerpt from Great Harmonia: Being a Progressive Revelation of the Eternal Principles Which Inspire Mind and Govern Matter He shows, by the doctrine of mechanical reaction, that every impression which man makes by his words or his movements upon the air, the waters, or the solid earth, will produce a series of changes in each of these elements which will never end. Not a word has ever escaped from mortal lips, he contends, but is registered indelibly upon the air we breathe. Could man command the mathematics of superior minds, every particle of air thus set in motion could be traced through all its changes, with as much precision as the astronomer points out the path of the heavenly bodies.
