Primary matter G separates from the other primary matters (the inverse process of the
original fusion) and flows through the channel from the physical to the etheric level.
Consequently, atoms gradually lose G-matter, become unstable and disintegrate into
simpler, more stable elements. In other words, the concentration of G-matter relative
to the other six kinds of primary matter diminishes with time. Atomic disintegration
takes place when there is a critical loss of G-matter. The new atoms resulting from the
disintegration have considerably less activity in the channels between their physical
and etheric levels and consequently, have more stable structures.
If one were to suppose, for example, that transuranium elements do not disintegrate,
then a qualitatively new process would arise. G-matter would circulate between the
physical and etheric levels but in excessive quantities. However, tranuranium elements,
lacking that surplus, lose type G-matter from their nuclei and disintegrate as a result.
This is of significance in understanding the possibility of non-organic living forms, to
be discussed in a later volume.
Up to now, we have been looking at the behavior of inanimate substances. Now we
have reached the point of understanding and solving the mystery of living matter and
its origin.
There are several elements in nature that possess four valence electrons, enabling them
to create combinations of atoms in the configuration of long chains of identical atoms.
In this configuration, each atom uses two out of four of its valence bonds to position
its electrons. This enables other atoms and even radicals to attach to the vacant bonds.
These atoms are — carbon, silicon, and phosphorus. The most dynamic of all is
carbon, which becomes the basis of all organic life. Also, it happens to be one of the
commonest elements on Earth.
In the primeval ocean, a high concentration of carbon atoms abounded, along with
other elements, providing the building blocks for organic molecules. But special
conditions were needed for joining the long chains together, namely, an active energy
source to impact the stability of the carbon atoms and trigger a new combination of
carbon atoms into forming chains. That source was provided by lightening electrical
discharges in the atmosphere. This powerful energy discharge gave rise to conditions
favoring the combination of carbon atoms into new and different sequences, as follows:
| | | | |
— С — С — С — С — С — …
| | | | |
From such chains, molecules were derived, possessing a molecular weight of a
hundred, a thousand or even ten thousand atomic units. In turn, these molecules were
able to interconnect and form even larger molecules. While the atomic weights of
inorganic molecules do not exceed three hundred to four hundred units, the organic
molecules have virtually no limit to their molecular weight.
