take the first stage of it. [See diagram page 345.] This is how it worksup to the first mechanical shock. Then air enters, oxygen 192 Hereimpressions come in as oxygen 48 and here it stops.That is how you must see it first, without unnecessary complications,because complications are only the result of the work. That diagramshows how things happen normally; and that is why this machine orchemical factory cannot develop—because it does not produce enoughhigher hydrogens.MR. B Doesn't that make us entirely dependent on our impressions?MR. O. Yes, the same as we are dependent on food and air—only wecannot develop food and air.MISS L Is it because there is an interval between si and do that theyare not connected?MR. O. No. It has nothing to do with that. It is quite a differentthing.If you remember it in this form, it will be quite sufficient, and thenwe can continue next time. We must get the maximum possiblequantity of these higher matters, and higher matters we can get only ifthis do 48 starts to develop, and then we can produce more, then thereis another stop at mi 12, and again, if we can push them right theydevelop furtherMISS T What is the reason of this special arrangement? Why is si 12which is a higher matter on the lower part of the body?MR. O These parts of the body don't matter. Leave it for a time It issimply divided in this way. In each part there are different functions.MRS. D. Is this a diagram of man 1, 2 and 3?MR. O. Yes.MISS L. And in that diagram the carbon is the active force?MR. O. Yes, carbon is always the conductor of the active force Onlyyou see, the triad begins with oxygen It is 2-1-3, not 1-2-3 Youremember in the Table of Hydrogens that was a triad 1-2-3, and this isa triad 2-1-3, so we already have two different triads Now notice onething more In this triad 1-2-3, what kind of octave does it create? Didyou notice that? It created a descending octave—do-si-la, and in thisdiagram the triad 2-1-3 creates an ascending octave, do-re-mi So weknow already that the triad 1-2-3 works in descending octaves and thetriad 2-1-3 works in ascending octaves.MISS L. What happens in other combinations?
