The principles of light and color: including among other things the harmonic laws of the universe, the etherio-atomic philosophy of force, chromo chemistry, chromo therapeutics, and the general philosophy of the fine forces, together with numerous discoveries and practical applications .. . ature and spiritual power is richer than even the outwardworld. V. Harmony. Harmony consists in the equal balance of Unity and Diversity,and this Jiarmony is increased in exquisitencss in proportionto the number of these parts of Unity and Diversity 1. In other words, organization and individual freedom mustbe combined. In fig. I, we have three points of general unity,and three lines moving in diverse directions, to constitute the tri-angle. In fig. 2, we have twice as many points of unity balancedby twice as many points of diversity, consequently the hexagonis more beautiful than the triangle. On the same principle is more beautiful than fig. 2, and figures 4 and 5 than fig. 3,although fig. 3 is more spirited than these last mentioned. 2. Colors must combine this variety of tints, hues and shadeson the law of unity to please. If we should sec a daub of vari-ous colors on an object without any unity of law in their ar-rangement, taste would be offended, for it would be diversity. Fig. 34. Diversity withoutUnity. Fi?. 15. Unity withoutDiversity. Fig. 36. Unity and Diver-sity combined. HARMONY. 13 run wild. If we should see only one color everywhere and al-ways, it would be insupportable from its unvaried unity (see ) ; or if we should see light and shade mingled in a lawlessmanner on the plan of mere diversity, as in fig. 34, it would beequally distressing. The one would be well represented in atreeless, barren desert, or by a condition of absolute darkness,the other by a mass of ruins, or debris, while both would be aviolation of the regular development of nature. It is a relief toturn from these to fig. 36, where freedom and law combined de-light every eye. 3. CJiiar
