.Plants and animals get their forms from human thoughts, though humans are notaware of this.These forms are a distant though direct result of human thoughts.Theentities inhabiting these forms are in the case of short-lived animals as butterflies,insects and vermin, desires of the living, and in the case of mammals, birds, reptilesand fishes, desires cast off by doers after death.The elementals which have passed through a human body build up also inorganicnature.The only manner in which they can build it is according to the pattern set byhuman thoughts, the pattern of the point developing toward a circle.In this way theymake rocks, water and the air, and fill out all inorganic nature with phenomena, fromstarlight and sunsets, blue sky and thunder, to mountains and dust.The building isdone according to the method of the point and circle, under the direction of upperelementals ordered by Intelligences and their Triune Selves.The last stages of the precipitation of matter into the things of inorganic natureare from the form plane.The point matter or units in the fiery state of that planedevelops by the method outlined into line matter, that is, into units in the airy state ofthat plane, then into angle matter, that is, units in the fluid state of that plane, and theninto surface matter, that is, into units in the earthy state of that plane.Then the solid unit from the form plane, by a similar development, grows to bethe radiant physical unit.To a point in the units of surface matter on the form plane,points are attached outward as a matter line.The line begins to be what will become asurface, and thus a unit of radiant matter on the physical plane.From the first unitextends another line which is the aim line, and to it other lines as line matter attachthemselves and so become angle matter, by the addition, at the apex, of line to line.Angle matter is a further step on the way to become a unit of radiant matter.The anglematter is limited by the curve, which is the limit of the radiant unit, as surface matterin the radiant state.A similar process is repeated by this unit, that is, by the surface of radiant matter,from a point out of which is developed a surface which is a point of airy matter andlater becomes a surface of airy matter.The process is then repeated by the unit of airy matter, from out of a point of which is developed a surface which is a point of fluidmatter; and then by the unit of fluid matter, from out of a point of which is developeda surface which is a point of solid matter.From out of a point of solid matter isdeveloped a surface of solid matter.In every stage of the concretion from solid formmatter into solid physical matter a point as point matter is the beginning and is by theaddition of point matter extended into a line, the matter line, and then into an aim line,which being line matter attracts line matter.Thereby the point becomes the apex of anangle which, growing, makes angle matter.The angle matter then grows to be surfacematter.Radiant units will be termed pyrogen, airy units aerogen, fluid units fluogen, andsolid units geogen, (Fig.II-F).These four kinds of units are four main stations in thegrowth of units from the lowest state of the form plane into the lowest physical state.The plane of pre-chemistry shows these four kinds, in each kind of a fourfold group,in each group a fourfold subgroup, and so on by fours.To illustrate.The geogengroup consists of pyro-geogen, aero-geogen, fluo-geogen and geo-geogen units; andthe geo-geogen units have a fourfold subgroup of pyro-geo-geogen, aero-geo-geogen,and so forth.The first stage of growth on to the physical plane as a point of radiant matter ispyro-pyro-pyro-pyro-pyrogen.From this stage the unit grows into a pyro-pyro-pyro-pyrogen unit, then into a pyro-pyro-pyrogen unit, then into a pyro-pyrogen unit, theninto an aero-aero-aero-aero-pyrogen unit, and so on until it is an aero-pyrogen unit.Then it grows through corresponding intermediate stages until it is a geo-pyrogenunit.Then it becomes an unqualified pyrogen unit.After that it grows into a pyro-pyro-pyro-pyro-aerogen unit, and so on until it is an unqualified aerogen unit, then apyro-pyro-pyro-pyro-fluogen unit, and so on until it is an unqualified fluogen unit,and then the development is repeated in the same way until it is an unqualified geogenunit.These systematic stages through which a unit passes all come into existence bythe successive growth of point matter, line matter, angle matter and surface matterlimited by a curve.The result of the growth is always a single unit, not a combinationof units.It goes through all that before chemistry and physics can deal with it at all.Among the traits which all units of whatever kind, group or subgroup have incommon are these: they have twelve points, the twelve points on the circle, and onlyfour of these are actual, the remaining eight being potential.The actual points of eachunit are on the circumference at the matter line and at the lines completing eachstandard angle of thirty degrees.These four points may become active and upon theiractivity depends the combining capacity of the unit with other units.Every unit has a passive and an active side, that is, a matter aspect and a force orspirit aspect.The passive aspect is the four points at which it can combine, that is, itscombining capacity.The active aspect is, among other things, its combining power,which is the power to use this combining capacity.It appears as a power to take, tohold and to use other units.The combining power is not specialized, so as to actseparately from the combining capacity.The trend of the unit is to develop so that thepower will become so specialized.Until the combining power is specialized the unit isa unit in inorganic or in organic nature, and can use the power mainly to capture andhold other units when the combining capacity is called on.The activity of one or more points gives to a unit its special traits.In a pyrogenunit one point only is active, the pyro point; the other three remain inactive as long asit is a pyrogen unit.In an aerogen unit the pyro and aero points become active; in thefluogen unit the pyro, aero and fluo points become active; and in a geogen unit all ourpoints, the pyro, aero, fluo and geo points become active.The distinguishing mark ofeach unit is the point which indicates its kind, that is, in a geogen unit the mark is the geo point, in a fluogen unit the fluo point, in an aerogen unit the aero point and apyrogen unit has only the pyro point.A pyrogen unit can combine only at its pyro point.An aerogen unit can combineat its pyro point and at its aero point.With a pyrogen unit it can combine only at itsfirst or pyro point which is the point common to both units.With an aerogen unit itcombines at the second or aero point, which is the second point common to both units.The fluogen unit can combine at any one of its three points
