42:6.2Lo­cal or lin­ear grav­ity be­comes fully op­er­a­tive with the ap­pear­ance of the atomic or­ga­ni­za­tion of mat­ter. Preatomic mat­ter be­comes slightly grav­ity re­spon­sive when ac­ti­vated by X ray and other sim­i­lar en­er­gies, but no mea­sur­able lin­ear-grav­ity pull is ex­erted on free, un­at­tached, and un­charged elec­tronic-en­ergy par­ti­cles or on unas­so­ci­ated ul­ti­ma­tons.

42:6.3Ul­ti­ma­tons func­tion by mu­tual at­trac­tion, re­spond­ing only to the cir­cu­lar Par­a­dise-grav­ity pull. With­out lin­ear-grav­ity re­sponse they are thus held in the uni­ver­sal space drift. Ul­ti­ma­tons are ca­pa­ble of ac­cel­er­at­ing rev­o­lu­tion­ary ve­loc­ity to the point of par­tial anti­grav­ity be­hav­ior, but they can­not, in­de­pen­dent of force or­ga­niz­ers or power di­rec­tors, at­tain the crit­i­cal es­cape ve­loc­ity of dein­di­vid­u­a­tion, re­turn to the puis­sant-en­ergy stage. In na­ture, ul­ti­ma­tons es­cape the sta­tus of phys­i­cal ex­is­tence only when par­tic­i­pat­ing in the ter­mi­nal dis­rup­tion of a cooled-off and dy­ing sun.

42:6.4The ul­ti­ma­tons, un­known on Uran­tia, slow down through many phases of phys­i­cal ac­tiv­ity be­fore they at­tain the rev­o­lu­tion­ary-en­ergy pre­req­ui­sites to elec­tronic or­ga­ni­za­tion. Ul­ti­ma­tons have three va­ri­eties of mo­tion: mu­tual re­sis­tance to cos­mic force, in­di­vid­ual rev­o­lu­tions of anti­grav­ity po­ten­tial, and the in­tra­elec­tronic po­si­tions of the one hun­dred mu­tu­ally in­teras­so­ci­ated ul­ti­ma­tons.

42:6.5Mu­tual at­trac­tion holds one hun­dred ul­ti­ma­tons to­gether in the con­sti­tu­tion of the elec­tron; and there are never more nor less than one hun­dred ul­ti­ma­tons in a typ­i­cal elec­tron. The loss of one or more ul­ti­ma­tons de­stroys typ­i­cal elec­tronic iden­tity, thus bring­ing into ex­is­tence one of the ten mod­i­fied forms of the elec­tron.

42:6.6Ul­ti­ma­tons do not de­scribe or­bits or whirl about in cir­cuits within the elec­trons, but they do spread or clus­ter in ac­cor­dance with their ax­ial rev­o­lu­tion­ary ve­loc­i­ties, thus de­ter­min­ing the dif­fer­en­tial elec­tronic di­men­sions. This same ul­ti­ma­tonic ve­loc­ity of ax­ial rev­o­lu­tion also de­ter­mines the neg­a­tive or pos­i­tive re­ac­tions of the sev­eral types of elec­tronic units. The en­tire seg­re­ga­tion and group­ing of elec­tronic mat­ter, to­gether with the elec­tric dif­fer­en­ti­a­tion of neg­a­tive and pos­i­tive bod­ies of en­ergy-mat­ter, re­sult from these var­i­ous func­tions of the com­po­nent ul­ti­ma­tonic in­teras­so­ci­a­tion.

42:3.31. Ul­ti­ma­tonic mat­ter—the prime phys­i­cal units of ma­te­rial ex­is­tence, the en­ergy par­ti­cles which go to make up elec­trons.

42:4.6Grav­ity pres­ence and ac­tion is what pre­vents the ap­pear­ance of the the­o­ret­i­cal ab­so­lute zero, for in­ter­stel­lar space does not have the tem­per­a­ture of ab­so­lute zero. Through­out all or­ga­nized space there are grav­ity-re­spond­ing en­ergy cur­rents, power cir­cuits, and ul­ti­ma­tonic ac­tiv­i­ties, as well as or­ga­niz­ing elec­tronic en­er­gies. Prac­ti­cally speak­ing, space is not empty. Even the at­mo­sphere of Uran­tia thins out in­creas­ingly un­til at about three thou­sand miles it be­gins to shade off into the av­er­age space mat­ter in this sec­tion of the uni­verse. The most nearly empty space known in Neb­a­don would yield about one hun­dred ul­ti­ma­tons—the equiv­a­lent of one elec­tron—in each cu­bic inch. Such scarcity of mat­ter is re­garded as prac­ti­cally empty space.

42:4.5Through­out all space, cold and other in­flu­ences are at work cre­atively or­ga­niz­ing ul­ti­ma­tons into elec­trons. Heat is the mea­sure­ment of elec­tronic ac­tiv­ity, while cold merely sig­ni­fies ab­sence of heat—com­par­a­tive en­ergy rest—the sta­tus of the uni­ver­sal force-charge of space pro­vided nei­ther emer­gent en­ergy nor or­ga­nized mat­ter were pres­ent and re­spond­ing to grav­ity.

42:4.7Tem­per­a­ture—heat and cold—is sec­ondary only to grav­ity in the realms of en­ergy and mat­ter evo­lu­tion. Ul­ti­ma­tons are humbly obe­di­ent to tem­per­a­ture ex­tremes. Low tem­per­a­tures fa­vor cer­tain forms of elec­tronic con­struc­tion and atomic as­sem­bly, while high tem­per­a­tures fa­cil­i­tate all sorts of atomic breakup and ma­te­rial dis­in­te­gra­tion.

41:3.6Not all stars are solid, but many of the older ones are. Some of the red­dish, faintly glim­mer­ing stars have ac­quired a den­sity at the cen­ter of their enor­mous masses which would be ex­pressed by say­ing that one cu­bic inch of such a star, if on Uran­tia, would weigh six thou­sand pounds. The enor­mous pres­sure, ac­com­pa­nied by loss of heat and cir­cu­lat­ing en­ergy, has re­sulted in bring­ing the or­bits of the ba­sic ma­te­rial units closer and closer to­gether un­til they now closely ap­proach the sta­tus of elec­tronic con­den­sa­tion. This pro­cess of cool­ing and con­trac­tion may con­tinue to the lim­it­ing and crit­i­cal ex­plo­sion point of ul­ti­ma­tonic con­den­sa­tion.

41:7.15Such dead or dy­ing suns can be re­ju­ve­nated by col­li­sional im­pact or can be recharged by cer­tain non­lu­mi­nous en­ergy is­lands of space or through grav­ity-rob­bery of near-by smaller suns or sys­tems. The ma­jor­ity of dead suns will ex­pe­ri­ence re­viv­i­fi­ca­tion by these or other evo­lu­tion­ary tech­niques. Those which are not thus even­tu­ally recharged are des­tined to un­dergo dis­rup­tion by mass ex­plo­sion when the grav­ity con­den­sa­tion at­tains the crit­i­cal level of ul­ti­ma­tonic con­den­sa­tion of en­ergy pres­sure. Such dis­ap­pear­ing suns thus be­come en­ergy of the rarest form, ad­mirably adapted to en­er­gize other more fa­vor­ably sit­u­ated suns.

42:5.42. Ul­ti­ma­tonic rays. The as­sem­bly of en­ergy into the minute spheres of the ul­ti­ma­tons oc­ca­sions vi­bra­tions in the con­tent of space which are dis­cern­i­ble and mea­sur­able. And long be­fore physi­cists ever dis­cover the ul­ti­ma­ton, they will un­doubt­edly de­tect the phe­nom­ena of these rays as they shower in upon Uran­tia. These short and pow­er­ful rays rep­re­sent the ini­tial ac­tiv­ity of the ul­ti­ma­tons as they are slowed down to that point where they veer to­wards the elec­tronic or­ga­ni­za­tion of mat­ter. As the ul­ti­ma­tons ag­gre­gate into elec­trons, con­den­sa­tion oc­curs with a con­se­quent stor­age of en­ergy.

42:4.8When sub­jected to the heat and pres­sure of cer­tain in­ter­nal so­lar states, all but the most prim­i­tive as­so­ci­a­tions of mat­ter may be bro­ken up. Heat can thus largely over­come grav­ity sta­bil­ity. But no known so­lar heat or pres­sure can con­vert ul­ti­ma­tons back into puis­sant en­ergy.

42:1.2Mat­ter—en­ergy—for they are but di­verse man­i­fes­ta­tions of the same cos­mic re­al­ity, as a uni­verse phe­nom­e­non is in­her­ent in the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. “In him all things con­sist.” Mat­ter may ap­pear to man­i­fest in­her­ent en­ergy and to ex­hibit self-con­tained pow­ers, but the lines of grav­ity in­volved in the en­er­gies con­cerned in all these phys­i­cal phe­nom­ena are de­rived from, and are de­pen­dent on, Par­a­dise. The ul­ti­ma­ton, the first mea­sur­able form of en­ergy, has Par­a­dise as its nu­cleus.

41:9.1The larger suns main­tain such a grav­ity con­trol over their elec­trons that light es­capes only with the aid of the pow­er­ful X rays. These helper rays pen­e­trate all space and are con­cerned in the main­te­nance of the ba­sic ul­ti­ma­tonic as­so­ci­a­tions of en­ergy. The great en­ergy losses in the early days of a sun, sub­se­quent to its at­tain­ment of max­i­mum tem­per­a­ture—up­wards of 35,000,000 de­grees—are not so much due to light es­cape as to ul­ti­ma­tonic leak­age. These ul­ti­ma­ton en­er­gies es­cape out into space, to en­gage in the ad­ven­ture of elec­tronic as­so­ci­a­tion and en­ergy ma­te­ri­al­iza­tion, as a ver­i­ta­ble en­ergy blast dur­ing ado­les­cent so­lar times.

48:1.3All of these worlds are ar­chi­tec­tural spheres, and they have just dou­ble the num­ber of el­e­ments of the evolved plan­ets. Such made-to-or­der worlds not only abound in the heavy met­als and crys­tals, hav­ing one hun­dred phys­i­cal el­e­ments, but like­wise have ex­actly one hun­dred forms of a unique en­ergy or­ga­ni­za­tion called mor­ontia ma­te­rial. The Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers and the Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors are able so to mod­ify the rev­o­lu­tions of the pri­mary units of mat­ter and at the same time so to trans­form these as­so­ci­a­tions of en­ergy as to cre­ate this new sub­stance.

15:4.1While cre­ation and uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion re­main for­ever un­der the con­trol of the in­fi­nite Cre­ators and their as­so­ciates, the whole phe­nom­e­non pro­ceeds in ac­cor­dance with an or­dained tech­nique and in con­for­mity to the grav­ity laws of force, en­ergy, and mat­ter. But there is some­thing of mys­tery as­so­ci­ated with the uni­ver­sal force-charge of space; we quite un­der­stand the or­ga­ni­za­tion of the ma­te­rial cre­ations from the ul­ti­ma­tonic stage for­ward, but we do not fully com­pre­hend the cos­mic an­ces­try of the ul­ti­ma­tons. We are con­fi­dent that these an­ces­tral forces have a Par­a­dise ori­gin be­cause they for­ever swing through per­vaded space in the ex­act gi­gan­tic out­lines of Par­a­dise. Though non­re­spon­sive to Par­a­dise grav­ity, this force-charge of space, the an­ces­tor of all ma­te­ri­al­iza­tion, does al­ways re­spond to the pres­ence of nether Par­a­dise, be­ing ap­par­ently cir­cuited in and out of the nether Par­a­dise cen­ter.

29:4.33Dur­ing sea­sons of mi­nus man­i­fes­ta­tions they are em­pow­ered to re­lease these ac­cu­mu­lated en­er­gies. But your knowl­edge of en­ergy and mat­ter is not suf­fi­ciently ad­vanced to make it pos­si­ble to ex­plain the tech­nique of this phase of their work. They al­ways la­bor in com­pli­ance with uni­ver­sal law, han­dling and ma­nip­u­lat­ing atoms, elec­trons, and ul­ti­ma­tons much as you ma­neu­ver ad­justable type to make the same al­pha­bet­i­cal sym­bols tell vastly dif­fer­ent sto­ries.

42:5.14The so-called ether is merely a col­lec­tive name to des­ig­nate a group of force and en­ergy ac­tiv­i­ties oc­cur­ring in space. Ul­ti­ma­tons, elec­trons, and other mass ag­gre­ga­tions of en­ergy are uni­form par­ti­cles of mat­ter, and in their tran­sit through space they re­ally pro­ceed in di­rect lines. Light and all other forms of rec­og­niz­able en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tions con­sist of a suc­ces­sion of def­i­nite en­ergy par­ti­cles which pro­ceed in di­rect lines ex­cept as mod­i­fied by grav­ity and other in­ter­ven­ing forces. That these pro­ces­sions of en­ergy par­ti­cles ap­pear as wave phe­nom­ena when sub­jected to cer­tain ob­ser­va­tions is due to the re­sis­tance of the un­dif­fer­en­ti­ated force blan­ket of all space, the hy­po­thet­i­cal ether, and to the in­ter­grav­ity ten­sion of the as­so­ci­ated ag­gre­ga­tions of mat­ter. The spac­ing of the par­ti­cle-in­ter­vals of mat­ter, to­gether with the ini­tial ve­loc­ity of the en­ergy beams, es­tab­lishes the un­du­la­tory ap­pear­ance of many forms of en­ergy-mat­ter.

41:9.2Atoms and elec­trons are sub­ject to grav­ity. The ul­ti­ma­tons are not sub­ject to lo­cal grav­ity, the in­ter­play of ma­te­rial at­trac­tion, but they are fully obe­di­ent to ab­so­lute or Par­a­dise grav­ity, to the trend, the swing, of the uni­ver­sal and eter­nal cir­cle of the uni­verse of uni­verses. Ul­ti­ma­tonic en­ergy does not obey the lin­ear or di­rect grav­ity at­trac­tion of near-by or re­mote ma­te­rial masses, but it does ever swing true to the cir­cuit of the great el­lipse of the far-flung cre­ation.

42:4.3The power cen­ters and their as­so­ciates are much con­cerned in the work of trans­mut­ing the ul­ti­ma­ton into the cir­cuits and rev­o­lu­tions of the elec­tron. These unique be­ings con­trol and com­pound power by their skill­ful ma­nip­u­la­tion of the ba­sic units of ma­te­ri­al­ized en­ergy, the ul­ti­ma­tons. They are mas­ters of en­ergy as it cir­cu­lates in this prim­i­tive state. In li­ai­son with the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers they are able to ef­fec­tively con­trol and di­rect en­ergy even af­ter it has trans­muted to the elec­tri­cal level, the so-called elec­tronic stage. But their range of ac­tion is enor­mously cur­tailed when elec­tron­i­cally or­ga­nized en­ergy swings into the whirls of the atomic sys­tems. Upon such ma­te­ri­al­iza­tion, these en­er­gies fall un­der the com­plete grasp of the draw­ing power of lin­ear grav­ity.

42:4.10Through­out all of this never-end­ing meta­mor­pho­sis of en­ergy and mat­ter we must reckon with the in­flu­ence of grav­ity pres­sure and with the anti­grav­ity be­hav­ior of the ul­ti­ma­tonic en­er­gies un­der cer­tain con­di­tions of tem­per­a­ture, ve­loc­ity, and rev­o­lu­tion. Tem­per­a­ture, en­ergy cur­rents, dis­tance, and the pres­ence of the liv­ing force or­ga­niz­ers and the power di­rec­tors also have a bear­ing on all trans­mu­ta­tion phe­nom­ena of en­ergy and mat­ter.

41:7.12You might try to vi­su­al­ize 35,000,000 de­grees of heat, in as­so­ci­a­tion with cer­tain grav­ity pres­sures, as the elec­tronic boil­ing point. Un­der such pres­sure and at such tem­per­a­ture all atoms are de­graded and bro­ken up into their elec­tronic and other an­ces­tral com­po­nents; even the elec­trons and other as­so­ci­a­tions of ul­ti­ma­tons may be bro­ken up, but the suns are not able to de­grade the ul­ti­ma­tons.

42:7.3The elec­tronic ax­ial rev­o­lu­tions and their or­bital ve­loc­i­ties about the atomic nu­cleus are both be­yond the hu­man imag­i­na­tion, not to men­tion the ve­loc­i­ties of their com­po­nent ul­ti­ma­tons. The pos­i­tive par­ti­cles of ra­dium fly off into space at the rate of ten thou­sand miles a sec­ond, while the neg­a­tive par­ti­cles at­tain a ve­loc­ity ap­prox­i­mat­ing that of light.

42:7.10The first twenty-seven atoms, those con­tain­ing from one to twenty-seven or­bital elec­trons, are more easy of com­pre­hen­sion than the rest. From twenty-eight up­ward we en­counter more and more of the un­pre­dictabil­ity of the sup­posed pres­ence of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute. But some of this elec­tronic un­pre­dictabil­ity is due to dif­fer­en­tial ul­ti­ma­tonic ax­ial rev­o­lu­tion­ary ve­loc­i­ties and to the un­ex­plained “hud­dling” pro­cliv­ity of ul­ti­ma­tons. Other in­flu­ences—phys­i­cal, elec­tri­cal, mag­netic, and grav­i­ta­tional—also op­er­ate to pro­duce vari­able elec­tronic be­hav­ior. Atoms there­fore are sim­i­lar to per­sons as to pre­dictabil­ity. Statis­ti­cians may an­nounce laws gov­ern­ing a large num­ber of ei­ther atoms or per­sons but not for a sin­gle in­di­vid­ual atom or per­son.
