Text: "The nature of magnetism is no more difficult to understand than the topics already discussed. Magnetism is nothing but a current in the ether flowing from one point to another. The flow of the ether arises through several mechanisms. One involves natural magnets like lodestones or the earth itself, of which the nature is such as to promote the flowing current in the etheric substance. Another source of the movement is the flow of electrons through a conductor. The lodestone effect is too complex to be dealt with here, but the basis of the electron's ability to create a flow in the ether is a simple one to grasp. We have already said that an electron is nothing but a spinning vortex in the etheric substance through which the ether itself spills out into the fourth dimension. The nature of these spinning holes is such that they always tend to spin in the same direction. There are some exceptions but they are not important in terms of the effect under discussion. When electrons are forced to move through a conductor as an electric current, their direction of spin is always the same with respect to the electrical current flow. This causes the ether itself to begin to form a larger vortex of circular movement around the conductor carrying the electrical current. It is this rotary movement of the ether which is detected as the magnetic field around a current carrying conductor. When such a conductor is wrapped around a central core in the manner of an electrical coil, the promotion of the larger etheric vortex around each one of the turns combines in the center to cause the ether to move in a straight line along the center axis of the coil. This is the reason why magnetic fields of considerable strength can be erected by the use of electricity. Another effect of magnetic fields is that of altering the direction of movement of a charged particle such as a free electron or free proton. Protons are not normally free in nature, but the combination of several protons known as alpha particles can be projected as a beam in certain kinds of apparatus. Other devices are capable of projecting a beam of pure electrons.
