awakened eye of the ~rtidt, nad seen the universe e~actly nd it is, in
terms of color, and who, as a result of his vision, threw his career to
the V'i nds and started in to describe what he had seen. He turned, for
the fir st time, to the study of science. which alone could provide him
with the neces.,ary vo cabulary .
Walter Russell :s

History repeats itself. The first expression of a nev idea invariably


fal~s on stony ground -- but if a seed of truth be there, it will find
an earth-filled cranny and begin to sprout. Walter Russell spent a for-
tune in the printing of a book which told of his inspired convictions in
Vlord;;, and in diagrams and charts which are at once so sublimely cle ar
and yet 60 complicated that hardly any bOdy can understand them. Mr.
Russe~l sent copies of thi s book to men prominent in many lines of en-
deavor. but at that time science believed the atom to be indestructible.

The eight pictures now hanglnB in the Museum demonstrate the principle
that CosmoEconomics
there is only one force in t he universe, seemingly divided into two,

for equili brium in the never-ceasing process of creation.
Everything in the universe contains both phases of this force negative
and .os itive, radiative and gravitative, feminine and masculine, expanling
and contracting. The seven colors of the spectrum, being 60 divided, show
all processes of expansion on the blue half, and all contraction on the
