The Universal One Quotes

“All creation is reducible to about a hundred and forty elements which tell the entire complex story of God’s thinking just as all literature is reducible to twenty-six letters which tell the entire complex story of all of man’s thinking.”
― Walter Russell, The Universal One

“The substance of the universal Mind is a living substance.”
― Walter Russell, The Universal One

“The rhythm of light, in the high octaves of light, is the measure of true pitch and true thinking.”
― Walter Russell, The Universal One

“That which man sees as ä star is not a vision, a picture, an image or a reflection of the star. It is the exact reproduced chemical counterpart of the star integrated as light within the observer. That which is true of the star is true of the image of the mountain, or the brook or the meadow violet. No idea of Mind is seen at a distance. The state of motion which represents the idea is reproduced as light by regenerative impact within the observer.”
― Walter Russell, The Universal One

“This universe of motion is a universe of PRODUCTION, DESTRUCTION and REPRODUCTION. All form is produced by the male, electro-positive, plus action of the charging, electric oscillation of the universal life principle, is destroyed by the female, electro-negative, minus reaction of the discharging, magnetic oscillation, and is reproduced through the union of both by radio-active regeneration in inertia.”
― Walter Russell, The Universal One

“Sex and life and light and intelligence are in and of all things from the beginning. The sex principle is as much a part of the granite rock or bar of iron as it is of man. The great hot star called Argo, blazing away at a temperature of thirty thousand degrees, knows sex in its fiery heart, and cannot continue its appearance without it. The Martian ice cap knows sex in its frozen depths, and retains its appearance because of sex. Sex is an electro-magnetic equalizer of matter in motion. Sex is the apparent division of the One force into electricity and magnetism, two opposite forces, positive and negative, which are in reality but two pulsations of the One force.”
― Walter Russell, The Universal One

“This universe of form is a universe of INTEGRATION, DISINTEGRATION AND REINTEGRATION. All form integrates through that contractive, gravitative state of motion which has the apparent power of attracting particles in motion into closer proximity to each other, disintegrates through that expansive, repulsive, radiative state which has the apparent power of separating particles in motion, and reintegrates through a union of both forces, by regenerative impact, in inertia.”
― Walter Russell, The Universal One

“Man thinks of dependability in terms of solids, those apparent things which respond to his senses. His dependable reality is form in matter. Man thinks undependability in terms of things etheric, those things which do not respond to his senses. His unreality is spirit. Man must learn to alter his concept of the reality of solidity, to the reality of Mind as the source of the illusion of that solidity. He must learn that the One substance of Mind is the only reality. He must learn to consider form as only an appearance of reality in a lower octave of the material substance of Mind, over which he has control within the limitations of Mind. He must learn to consider matter as the substance of Mind, and form in matter as but the registration of his thinking. He must learn that he is Mind and that Mind is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. Until man learns that he is Mind he will be the slave of the illusions of Mind, instead of which he may be their master and a “creator” of these illusions.”
― Walter Russell, The Universal One

“The passage of all thought through the tranquil ocean of universal Mind may well be likened unto the passage of big boats and little boats and all the winds of heaven upon the tranquil ocean of waters. The passage of all these forces leave their effects in appearance upon the ocean of waters, registering thereon in foam the idea of those forces. Without the exertion of these forces upon the tranquil waters, an absolute uniformity of appearance would prevail throughout the ocean of waters. Without the force of thinking throughout the tranquil substance of Mind, there would be no appearance of variability whatsoever in the universe of Mind.”

“Thinking is an action which is the cause of all motion. It is a process, a purely mechanical process, periodic in its evolution through one cycle after another without end. The process of thinking leaves the evidence of that process behind it, registering the effect of its passage through the Ocean of the universal Mind. In its wake are myriads of rotating particles of the One substance which register the thinking of Mind, just as in the wake of an ocean steamer are myriads of tiny rotating bubbles which register the passage of that steamer. The many bubbles in the wake of the steamer produce an effect of foam in the ocean’s substance which appears to be different from the surrounding substance. It is the same substance but of less stability. The whirling bubbles of foam owe their appearance of stability to motion. When the motion ceases the bubbles will disappear. The wake of the steamer is an appearance which we know will disappear.”
― Walter Russell, The Universal One

“Creation is merely a swing of the cosmic pendulum from inertia, through energy, and back again to inertia, forever and forever. It is but a series of opposing pulsations of action and reaction, integration and disintegration, gravitation and radiation, appearance and disappearance.”
― Walter Russell, The Universal One

“Matter is the registration medium of light, just as letters are the registration medium of literature. Matter is light gravitationally assembled into the appearance of form, and radially disassembled into the disappearance of form. The assembling process is what man calls life.”
― Walter Russell, The Universal One

“Matter is light crystallized into the complex idea of this universe, exactly as literature is type assembled into the complex ideas of a library.”
― Walter Russell, The Universal One

“All motion is oscillatory, swinging in sequence between two apparently opposing forces, gravitation and repulsion, which are respectively electric and magnetic. This oscillatory motion is a pulsating in-breathing and out-breathing, an inhalation and an exhalation, which is a characteristic of all matter, whether it be in units, or systems of units, or mass. These two apparently opposite forces are the father-mother forces of Mind, which, added together, make but the One force. There is but one pendulum to the cosmic clock. All the so-called “created” universe of matter is but the effect of these two apparently opposing male - female forces exerting their opposition.”
― Walter Russell, The Universal One

“Faith and theory regarding the universal One need have no place in the thinking of man. They are wanderings in the dark. All things are answerable in light. The universe is a tonal one, a dimensionless universe of light.”
― Walter Russell, The Universal One

“All nature is a series of orderly tonal periodicities of the One force, assembled into the complex idea of thinking Mind, and registered in light, or matter, or energy in interchanging potentials, all of which are variable, yet comprehensible and measurable states of motion of the One substance. All dimension is an illusion, an appearance, due to rising potential, which must disappear into its inevitable sequence of lowering potential, and again appear in endless cycles of appearance, disappearance and reappearance. Ecstatic man is he who can think in those high octaves of the inner Mind which has been termed “spirit.” Ecstatic man is inspired man of universal genius, of inner thinking. Inspired man is he to come whose thinking will be from within, in light, and it will be an ecstasy of thinking which will produce enduring things. That work which is created in ecstasy of inner thinking can alone endure. To think in light is not a new power being developed by evolving man. It is a power which is now within him awaiting only his knowledge of the use of that power. It is merely the recognition by man of his absolute control of the many dimensions of the universal constant of energy which constitutes the thinking process of Mind exactly as he can control the changing speeds of his motor car.”
