smaller size, maintain stability in the face of the decrease in dimensionality. Similar
processes also occur when radioactive elements disintegrate, releasing primary
matters, following which stable elements of considerably lower atomic weight
are developed.

The difference between these two processes is that the radioactive atoms
themselves disintegrate, whereas the DNA/RNA molecules remain intact while only
the entrapped molecules inside their spiral space break down. In a manner of
speaking, we could think of the DNA/RNA's inner space as the particular "black
hole" developed by animate matter: most of the physically solid matter that enters
the "black hole" disappears and changes into another form — free primary matters.

Thus, standing waves of dimensionality, created by the DNA/RNA's spiral
structure provide a SUFFICIENT CONDITION for the emergence of life and
consciousness. But again — we may well ask — what actually is consciousness?

Now, let us revisit the process of memory formation, specifically that of long-
term memory.

External signals, in the form of an ionic code, are transmitted by the sense

organs to the brain, where they create etheric and astral imprints on the etheric and
astral levels of the neurons. In the case of long-term memory, these imprints remain
forever, or, at least for a very extended period of time.

Let us look at two adjacent neurons on the astral level, with imprints of ionic
codes from various incoming external signals (see Fig. 93).
