A complete understanding of this process gives us the key to unlocking the
mysterious mechanisms of memory and consciousness, which we shall later come to
discover. Under normal conditions, the primary matters released from the

disintegration of a physical cell's normal molecules are equally distributed among the
cell's etheric, astral and first mental bodies. This enables every cell of the same type
and structure to perform its appropriate function. Cells possessing different functions
are qualitatively different in structure from each other. Some possess only an etheric

body, an etheric and astral body, or an etheric, astral and first mental body.

Accordingly, each cell level receives only a portion of the cell's generated
potential. Thus, primary matter G participates in the functioning of all the cell
bodies — etheric, astral and first mental. We may recall that primary matter is
released through the disintegration of a physical sell's organic and inorganic
molecules. The bloodstream then conveys these molecules to the cell, which by a
process c: osmosis pass through the cellular membrane into the cell's interior, where
de-composition takes place.

A cell's osmotic pressure, like any other pressure phenomenon, is based on the
dimensionality gradient between the cell's internal and external environments,
which are separated by the cellular membrane. The hydrophobic properties of the
cellular membrane, consisting of one lipid

and two protein layers, maintain this dimensionality gradient. This is due to the
water-repellent property of the membrane's lipid layer: thus, only organic and
inorganic molecules, as well as ions, diluted in plasma, can penetrate the cell. Thus

the membrane functions as a living filter.
A dimensionality gradient therefore arises between saturated and
unsaturated solutions since each has a different self-dimensionality level. The
larger the molecule and the heavier its
atoms, the higher its dimensionality level. Their solubility corresponds to their
compatibility with the molecules, which, in turn, depends on the value of the
atoms' and molecules' dimensionality gradient and the presence in the

environment of waves possessing a similar dimensionality gradient (see Ch.l).
The absorption or radiation of such waves maintains the balance of the
molecular dimensional level. Water molecules are virtually stable within the
whole spectrum of physical substances. In view of its low molecular weight (H2O

= 18 atomic units) water has a lower dimensionality level than those of the molecules
dissolved in it. Therefore, a saturated solution has a higher dimensionality level
than an unsaturated one.
Incidentally, the hydrophobic properties of a membrane's lipid layer are due to
the fact that its dimensionality level does not quantize with that of water. Therefore,
waves impinging on a watery environment cause dimensionality fluctuations lower
than the difference between the dimensionality level of the water molecule and

that of fat.
Thus, owing to the somewhat higher dimensionality level of a saturated water
solution, such as blood plasma, molecules in the vicinity of a cell are able to

penetrate its membrane. At the same time, free water molecules are repelled by the
