“I had sinned against the wisdom of our Creator, and received just punishment for it. I wanted to improve His handiwork and in my blindness I believed that in this wonderful chain of laws, which ties life to the surface of the earth and always keeps it rejuvenated, there might be a link missing that had to be replaced by me - this weak powerless nothing.”
“The law, to which my research on the topsoil led me, states, ‘On the outer crust of the earth, under the influence of the sun, organic life shall develop.’ And so, the Great Master and Builder gave the fragments of the earth the ability to attract and hold all these elements necessary to feed plants and further serve animals, like a magnet attracts and holds iron particles, so as no piece is lost. Our Master enclosed a second law unto this one, through which the plant bearing earth becomes an enormous cleansing apparatus for the water. Through this articular ability, the earth removes from the water all substances harmful to humans and animals - all products of decay and petrification, of perished plant and animal generations.”
