densities of the first triad. In the first triad the ratio of densities was 1, 2, 3; in the second triad it should be 2, 4, 6, that is, 'carbon' of the second triad will possess the density of 2, 'nitrogen' a density of 4, 'oxygen' a density of 6. Taken together they will give 'hydrogen' 12 (H12):
"According to the same plan and order the following triad will be constructed: fa,
'shock,' mi. 'Carbon' which was 'nitrogen' in the second triad enters with a density of
4; the 'nitrogen' and 'oxygen' corresponding to it must have a density of 8 and 12;
together they will give 'hydrogen' 24 (H24):
"The next triad mi, re, do, by the same plan and order will give 'hydrogen' 48
(H48):
"The triad do, si, la
will give 'hydrogen'
96 (H96):
the triad la, sol, fa—'hydrogen' 192 (H192):
fa, 'shock,' mi-'hydrogen' 384 (H384):
la, sol, fa—'hydrogen' 3072 (H3072):
fa, 'shock,' mi—'hydrogen' 6144 (H6144):
"Twelve 'hydrogens' are obtained with densities ranging from 6 to 12288. (See
Table 1.)
"These twelve 'hydrogens' represent twelve categories of matter contained in the
universe from the Absolute to the moon, and if it were possible to establish exactly
which of these matters constitute man's organism and act in it, this alone would
determine what place man occupies in the world.
"But at the place where we are situated, within the limits of our ordinary powers and capacities 'hydrogen' 6 is irresolvable; we can take it therefore as 'hydrogen' 1; the next
'hydrogen' 12 as 'hydrogen' 6. Reducing all the hydrogens that follow by 2 we obtain a
scale from 'hydrogen' 1 to 'hydrogen' 6144. (See Table 2.)
"But 'hydrogen' 6 is nevertheless still irresolvable for us. Therefore we can also take it as 'hydrogen' 1, take the next 'hydrogen' after it as 'hydrogen' 6 and reduce all the
following again by two.
"The scale obtained in this way from 1 to 3072 can serve us for the study of man.
(See Table 3.)
"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 definite function, either in the world or in the human organism, is
also a 'hydrogen.'
"This kind of definition of matters enables us to classify them in the order of their relation to life and to the functions of our organism.
"Let us begin with 'hydrogen' 768. This 'hydrogen' is defined as
Substances which cannot serve as 'food,' such as a piece of wood, refer to 'hydrogen'
1536; a piece of iron to 'hydrogen' 3072. On the other hand, a 'thin' matter, with poor
nutritive properties, will be nearer to 'hydrogen' 384.
" 'Hydrogen' 384 will be defined as
" 'Hydrogen' 192 is the air of our atmosphere which we breathe.
"'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 or perceptible only by their traces or
results, often merely presumed by some and denied by others.
" 'Hydrogens' 48, 24, 12, and 6 are matters unknown to physics and chemistry,
matters of our psychic and spiritual life on different levels.
"Altogether in examining the 'table of hydrogens,' it must always be remembered
that each 'hydrogen' of this table includes an enormous number of different
substances connected together by one and the same function in our organism and
representing a definite 'cosmic group.'
"'Hydrogen' 12 corresponds to the 'hydrogen' of chemistry (atomic weight 1).
'Carbon,' 'nitrogen,' and 'oxygen' (of chemistry) have the atomic weights: 12, 14, and
16.
"In addition it is possible to point out in the table of atomic weights elements which correspond to certain hydrogens, that is, elements whose atomic weights stand almost
in the correct
