     In order to get at the origin of soil we go back to the time when plants were mear mites, germs, green jelly floating on the water, and from such the great forest trees have their origin through a long line of ancestors -
     The plant is a living machine making liveing matter out of water carbonic acid and sunlight -
     All the living material in the world was first made and laid by plants
     Plant life are the producers of food Annual life the consumers of food
     Organized living matter a molicule of protoplasm vita embrio is charged enocolated with the electron of life consciousness, aware of danger union of mind and matter
     This consciousness or law of self preservation proceeds to protect its life by making a shell the hen and other animal and inocul life do the same -
     The Mollosk or shell family (of which the oyster is at the head) number 60 thousand species
     The oyster reaches adult age when 4 years old when it [word] from 15 to 16 million eggs annually. These eggs float about in the sea carried by the tide to the shore but during a storm the win and waves carrie these and other eggs into drifts a short distance from the shore where they are bleached or petrified by the sun - these sand drift on the coast of Florida resemble drifts of snow from a distance

     As the ages succeed each other and the accumulations of sand increases its weight increases sinking down where gaseous heat transform it into stone
     Illustrated change of lime stone rock into air
     "  "  "  Wheat into life
     "  "   Salt and Sugar

^We find the Positive, Negetive and Neutral zone
The Positive Zone is energy, activity the electron of life origin the Sun
" Negative " " dormant resistant or latent power in wood or ^coal stone to liberate free carbon and free Hydrogen back to origin air
" Neutral " " No mans land the line between activity + dormant

X1 The most wonderful laboratory in the world is when the structures of a plant cell is formed
     When the inorganic elements of air water, and hear, unite to form organ matter
3 { Heat is from the sun the origin of all life
{ Water is from the air and the air from the Heavens glad the first scutene Bible
X2 Air, Water Heat the foundation of all.

Positive - Negetive - Neutral Zones -
     The positive zone is energy - activity. it is the electron og life its origin is the sun heat
3     Its mission is to move against the Negetive the dormant the resistant
EXAMPLE - Lime Stone Rock, - grains of Wheat - Salt, Sugar, Snow Storm, Rain Storm, German Army of heavens
X     The formation of all life is air water + heat knowen as ^the positive zone negetive and netral zones
2     The positive Zone is energy activity the electron of life its origin is the sun
     The Negetive Zone is the dormant the resistant
     The neutral zone is no mans land and may be errased by the positive ^the active power or the resistant power Illustration 2 German Army. 1 Lime stone wheat + a battle to be [word].
Sugar salt, snow, Rain,
After this [word]
     I come to the origin of soil trunst often ask when does that while sand we see out on the Island come from a few will answer right from the sea but the onucal point is what is its origin in the sea and this is the point I wish to explain in particular
     The Mollusk or shell family has to thank species of which the old oyster stands at the head
When the oyster reaches adult age which is 4 years it ooses from 15 to 16 [million] eggs annually

QC00578-04verso:
these eggs float above in the sea now multiply the 15 M. eggs produced by one oyster by the throat of bus of oyster lake out of the sea and lip on the sea.
     It sounds like being as numerous as this sands upon the sea shore but dont forget the production of the other member of this numerous family of shells
     Hear is when the inorganic elements of air water + heat unite to create to form a molicule of protoplasm and electron of consume this consumer or intelligence contest will matter fullfill the law that govern this purheat specie.

QC00578-05:
     The first spark of life of consciousness of spirit of intelligence of mind the opposite of matter is an electron of heat it is immortal everlasting there is no life without heat the sun is the origin of life
     The moment the positive zone ^which is the electron of life moves against the negative zone the dormant the inactive the resistant
     The positive zone means energy activity it is the electron of life its mission is to move against the negative the dormant the inactive the resistant and ^unite to introduce avtivity ^growth consciousness mind soul or spirit
     The first living atom ^or molecule of sorts of vital organism or embrio is charged or enocolated with the electron of life - or consciousness mind soul or spirit immortal ^ the everlasting life the union of mind + matter both go hand in hand each performing its own special mission and 9 [word] by the law of evolution + the formulation ^source of all life ^whether wind or matter is air water + heat.
