JJ:  So we begin with the atoms, and the atoms join together to produce molecules. When the electrons and protons join together to produce atoms, what they produce is something that is entirely different in properties than they are individually. An atom has a lot different more properties and potential than a single proton or a single electron. Single electrons gather and manifest as electricity, but when the electrons join together with protons, we get form. We get things we can walk around on. We get planets, we get people, we get physical bodies.

Now, when the various atoms join together, they bond together because they have a need for each other. They are lacking in themselves, and so, to fill that lack, they find somebody who can counterbalance them. That counterbalance produces a bond, and if it's a stable bond, the atoms will stay together for thousands, maybe millions, of years. If it's an unstable bond, they may stay together just a few seconds. So atoms are a little like us: they get together, sometimes they will stay together for a short period of time, sometimes for a long period of time. But when certain conditions are met and they unite, they will unite together for a very long period of time. For instance, water. Water is perhaps the most basic molecule. It's composed of one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen, and the two atoms of hydrogen share their single electron with the oxygen, which needs two extra electrons in its outer layer to create water. Water is very stable because each part fills a real need -- not an imagined need, but a real need in each other for the sharing of energy. It produces an extremely stable molecule known as water, and how long does water last before it just disappears back into the basic element? What do you think, Dan? You ever see water just disappear? It evaporates, but it's still there, right?

Dan:  "Right."

  

JJ:  But the elements in water do not fall apart. They last millions, perhaps billions, of years. I don't know how long water lasts. I don't remember reading about that for sure. But I believe that scientists expect it to last billions of years, until something happens to really tear it apart. We're thinking of making hydrogen fuel, and in this case we'll take water and, using electrolysis, we'll interfere with the bond between hydrogen and oxygen. It takes a lot of energy to disturb that bond. As we talked about the other day, to create one unit of energy with hydrogen fuel, it takes about 1.2 units of energy from coal. So it's not as pollution free as everybody thinks, until we get a more pollution-free source of energy. Then when it burns it's pollution free, but in the creation of it, it takes a tremendous amount of energy to drive away those hydrogen atoms to make that hydrogen fuel everybody's been wanting.

And that's the way it is with a very stable relationship between humans. If you've got a very stable relationship, when another person comes into it, he can't disturb it. He can be maybe a very attractive, muscular person or a very attractive woman, but he can't disturb it no matter how much he tries. It takes a lot of energy to drive a wedge into a very stable relationship. On the other hand, if the relationship is not stable, then it doesn't take very much -- just a slight temptation and the relationship is shattered.

And that's the way it is with the little elements. The ones with the strong bond require a lot of energy to separate them. The basic unit of creation is, therefore, the atom.

First of all, let's correspond the atom to human beings. What produces a correspondence of an atom in the physical to the human? What do we have to do? Is one human being the creation of an atom? It takes two human beings.

Audience:  (Inaudible) "Individual cells in the body?"

  

JJ:  Cells? No. We're thinking about what corresponds to an atom. Curtis has got the answer here.

Curtis:  "Well, I've got a little answer. In Genesis in the Old Testament it says, 'Male and female created he them and blessed them and called their name Adam.' So it's a man and a woman."

  

JJ:  Okay, it says he called "their" name Adam. Now isn't it interesting how the word Adam sounds like the scientific word for the smallest particle, atom. Male and female energies joined together, the positive and negative energies joined together, and an atom was created. In the book of Genesis, the male and female was joined together and their name was called Adam. Isn't it interesting how that corresponds? But it's interesting also that -- remember what I said -- the higher always has a twist. So instead of atom it's called Adam. So you've got a little twist there; very similar, it corresponds but with a twist. Now, how do we find that twist?

To find that twist in the correspondences it takes the intuition. You have to look at what's below and then look at what's above and then contemplate on it. Through meditation you can figure out what the higher is going to be, what that twist is. You can look at the atom and then look at the solar system and you can figure out the differences using the intuition. This is often how it works.

And we can do this many times. I remember when I first met Artie, or right after we got together, I taught a class on the Law of Correspondences. She was really excited about that. She went out in the garden and she was just corresponding flowers and trees and grass to everything. She was just having a good time. Her mind went crazy one day (chuckles) and she was just corresponding everything. She came in and told me all the correspondences that she came up with and they were really good.

It's interesting, when a person sees a vision of the Law of Correspondences, how you see a lot of things you never saw before. You see how nature corresponds to what we're doing, how what we're doing corresponds to what the whole universe is doing. It's very interesting to contemplate this Law of Correspondences.

So we have a positive energy and a negative energy joined together as one unit, which produces an atom. That's the foundational unit for the molecular relationship. Now, let's suppose that you're kind of hard to get along with like old Curtis over here (laughs) and you don't have a "one and only" yet. How can you produce an atom? What can happen there is what we call the working relationship. You don't have to have a romantic relationship with another person to produce the correspondent of a human atom. But even if you're single, it's nice to balance off your energies with somebody who's the opposite polarity from yourself. By balancing off your energies with somebody of the opposite polarity you can gain the balance you need to produce a human atom. So the way is always there.

Let us take hydrogen. Hydrogen and oxygen are two elements the scientists use to produce rocket fuel. When we sent men to the moon, the Saturn rocket was powered with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, and they blended together. When they were ignited it produced powerful explosions that sent it into space. But when hydrogen and oxygen are bonded, they produce water, which you can't ignite that way. It has totally different properties and it's much more stable. Hydrogen and oxygen separated are not very stable at all. Like I said, when they meet in the separate condition they explode. When they meet in a bonded condition it produces one of the most stable molecules in the universe, which is water. The foundation of all life is produced from two elements that really explode when they meet together in the wrong conditions.

Audience:  "The explosion creates the water."

  

JJ:  Yeah, I do believe if I remember right that the rocket fuel leaves water vapor, right? But it's interesting how they explode. And how many times do a male and female meet -- or people meet in a romantic relationship -- and they explode. (chuckles) Maybe even after they get married they continue to explode until finally, maybe after about twenty or thirty lifetimes, they learn to really bond.
