Separating the Fine from the CoarseDefinition of 'Matters' "All matters from 'hydrogen' 6 to 'hydrogen' 3072 are to be found and play a part in the human organism. Each of these 'hydrogens' includes a very large group of chemical substances known to us, linked together by some function in connection with our organism. In other words, it must not be forgotten that the term 'hydrogen' has a very wide meaning. Any simple element is a 'hydrogen' of a certain density, but any combination of elements which possesses a definate function, either in the world or in the human organism, is also a 'hydrogen'. "this kind of definition of matters enable us to classify them in order of their relation to life and to the function of our organism. "Let us begin with 'hydrogen' 768. This hydrogen is defined as food..... ".....'Hydrogen' 384 will be defined as water. "'Hydrogen' 192 is the air of our atmosphere which we breath. "'Hydrogen' 96 is represented by rarefied gases which man cannot breathe, but which play a very important part in his life; and further, this is the matter of animal magnetism, of emanations from the human body, of 'n-rays', hormones, vitamins, and so on; in other words, with 'hydrogen' 96 ends what is called matter or what is regarded as matter by our physics and chemistry.... 'Hydrogen' 96 also includes matters that are almost imperceptible to our chemistry of perceptible by thie traces or results, often merely presumed by some and denied by others."
