Alpern, Andrew, Luxury Apartment Houses of Manhattan, New York, Dover Publications, 1975, pp. 43–49 Russell was also proficient in philosophy, music, ice skating, and was a professor at the institution he founded, the University of Science and Philosophy (USP). He believed mediocrity is self-inflicted and genius is self-bestowed. The content of his public lectures and his writing about living philosophy place him firmly in the New Thought Movement. In 1941, the American Academy of Sciences conferred a doctorate on him, after several laboratories had isolated the elements which he had foreseen: Deuterium, Tritium, Neptunium and Plutonium.

Reprint of the 1926 Edition. Includes numerous illustrations. Exact facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The Universal One is Walter Russell's first expression of his new Cosmology explaining the Mind-centered electric universe. Though he would revise his theory somewhat over the years, this is the first and basic description of his new Cosmology. Lavishing illustrated, it sets out his views on God, the Universe, matter and Man's place in the world as he searches for a path to god. In this 1926 historic volume, Walter Russell first reveals the possibility of transmutation of the elements. This illustrated treatise is Russell's scientific explanation of God's ways and processes in the construction of the Universe and provides a guide for illuminating Man's proper way of living during the long journey to the Light of God. At age 29, he attracted widespread attention with his allegorical painting The Might of Ages in 1900. The painting represented the United States at the Turin international exhibition and won several awards. [7] The famous painter Walter Russell only began his sculptural work at the age of 56. The most astonishing masterpiece is a sculpture in which 27 novel figures from Mark Twain’s literary work have been composed into a single unit. In his lecture Russell describes the inner and outer process of this phenomenal work. As per this concept, there are a total of nine different ‘octaves’ or ‘pressure states’ in nature, and these nine bands are used to group together elements - with varying forces of compression and expansion. 7 - He warned mankind about radiation A musician from infancy, he secured a church organist’s position at thirteen, and entered art school. Since then, he was entirely self-supporting and self-educated. As a young man he was an illustrator for books and magazines.This deeply intellectual and spiritual experience gave him a deep insight into the nature of matter, light, and the working of the universe. Russell found himself in this remarkable state for 39 days and used this opportunity to draw and write down everything he learned to be able to share it with the world. 4 - The Walter Russell Cosmology As a result of his profound insight, Russell made a phenomenal discovery - that all matter comes forth from a zero-point field of energy, which is the true essence of the universe. This omniscient field is called the universal source or mind source and is made of electricity. Furthermore, he found that every single piece of matter or element of creation in the cosmos is connected to each other via delicate threads of invisible energy.

Exhilarating, The Universal One teaches physics, almost. It’s all about unplugging the tangled ridiculous messy mass of cables that science men trust, and places them one-by-one along elegant, beautiful contours. As World War II approached, he moved into a top-floor studio at Carnegie Hall, where he lived alone (his estranged wife Helen lived in Connecticut). At the time, he was supervising the casting of the Four Freedoms. This was a low time that required a rejuvenation of his health and spirit. There were reports of his "egotism and self-aggrandizement" that bothered him . [15] The Russell Cosmogony [ edit ]Some of his most well-known books are Universal One, The Secret of Light, Atomic Suicide, and The Message Of The Divine Iliad. The purpose of these lessons is twofold. First and foremost, they should give you personal strength and expression of your personal creativity and enable you to fully understand the cause of all the effects you produce. This is how you can control these effects… Russell's cosmogony was described in A New Concept of the Universe, [22] where he wrote that "the cardinal error of science" was "shutting the Creator out of his Creation." [23] Russell never referred to an anthropomorphic god, but rather wrote that "God is the invisible, motionless, sexless, undivided, and unconditioned white Magnetic Light of Mind" [24] which centers all things. "God is provable by laboratory methods," Russell wrote, "The locatable motionless Light which man calls magnetism is the Light which God IS." [25] He wrote that Religion and Science must come together in a New Age. [26] With Lao Russell at Swannanoa in Virginia 1948–1963 [ edit ] In the meantime he gave numerous speeches and for 12 years he lectured upon the Law of rhythmic interchange and ethical principles in business to the officers and salesmen of IBM. Together with other notable figures of his time he built the Twilight Club, which very successfully gave positive spiritual impulses for the betterment of humankind. Their efforts resulted in notable service organizations like the Rotary Club, The Lions Club, the Boy Scouts of America and many others. They stood up for a right of education, for minimum wages, controlled advertising and much more, getting big support from Adolph Ochs, the owner of the New York Times at that time. Since Russell’s revelations were so ahead of his time, they sadly came across as too futuristic and unconventional for most of his contemporaries. As a result, his scientific findings were not widely accepted at the time, as is the case with most futurists.

Russell became a leader in the Science of Man Movement when he was elected president of the Society of Arts and Sciences in 1927. His seven-year tenure generated many articles in the New York Times. The gold medals awarded by the Society were highly valued. [14]' Lao and Walter worked together for fifteen years and founded the University of Science and Philosophy on their splendid country estate in Swannanoa with the capital that Lao gained by setting up a cosmetics company. Walter and Lao developed the home study course and published the alerting book Atomic Suicide? in 1957. Binder, Timothy A., In the Wave Lies the Secret of Creation, (contains many unpublished drawings of Walter Russell), Univ of Science & Philosophy, 1995, ISBN 1-879605-45-7The universe is a multiplicity of changing effects of but One unchanging cause. All things are universal. Nothing is which is not universal. Nothing is of itself alone. Man and Mind and all creating things are universal. No man can say: ‘I alone am I.’ There is but One universe, One Mind, One force, One substance. When man knows this in measurable exactness then will he have no limitations within those which are universal.” — Walter Russell, from The Prelude to The Universal One. In this 1926 historic volume, Walter Russell first reveals the possibility of transmutation of the elements. This is a universe of Mind, a finite universe, limited as to cause, and to the effect of cause. A finite universe, in which the effects of cause are limited, must also be limited as to cause; so when that measurable cause is known, then can man comprehend and measure all effects. The effects of cause are complex and mystify man, but cause itself is simple. Artist to turn Virginia Mansion Into Museum of Own Creations," New York Times, October 30, 1948, p.10

The book explains clearly how to use the universal laws. The balance between their own energy and the trusting sailing on the stream of being makes it understandable how Lao and Walter Russell could achieve what they have done without having to forego a cheerful, sociable, creative life in abundance. For all those who want to take their lives into their own hands – but not to push locomotives in the sweat of their face, but to sail in joy on the possibilities of the universe. Twenty years after the staggering reaction caused by “The Universal One”, Walter Russell presented the basic cosmic correlations in a simplified manner and with more conventional scientific wording. The radical innovation and simplicity of his thoughts in this book make for most sophisticated reading, but the more one immerses oneself the more accessible it becomes.The motion of compression or ‘charge’ puts external pressure on rings of light to compress them in a spiraling motion into atoms - this keeps matter intact and gives it the form that we see with our naked eyes. On the other hand, the expansion force propels this matter to unravel or ‘discharge’ from its compressed state and reunite with the universal source.
