just as the Natural Body is organized from the Natural Earth and its atmospheres.
h is the Sensual plane of the Natural Mind, and is placed coincident with the air, H, with which there is the closest relation, as sensation or consciousness commences with the inflation of the lungs with air, and ceases with the deprivation of air. Air also furnishes oxygen to the blood in the lungs, and is thence distributed throughout the body, and contributes to the formation of the mind-organism in the body.
g is the scientific plane of the Natural Mind, and is placed coincident with the ether, G, because these two are next in succession.

The Scientific plane perceives facts, whereby there is mental light; and the ether is the medium of natural light. The Sensual plane is subject to direction through the knowledge of facts embraced by the Scientific; hence it may be observed that the Scientific acts upon the Sensual as the ether acts upon the air. The ether, being used in the construction of the nervous system,
