orous thinking. Mathematics, with its exact
concept of dimensions, gave me the method. The method we use in
studying phenomena is analysis, or speaking mathematically,
differentiation. I soon found, that the methods of differentiation
are mostly correct, but our synthesis, or process of integration
made by the use of metaphysics was faulty. The differentiation
correctly lowered the dimensions, but our faulty integration did
not restore the original dimensions. The investigation had to be
made from the beginning, by defining the phenomena of life, in a
specific way, which would not permit of any blunders in
dimensions.
"I defined the classes of life by emphasizing their incontestable,
dimensional characteristics: plants are 'Chemistry-binding,'
animals are 'Space-binding,' Humans are 'Time-binding' classes of
life.
"These definitions have the peculiarity that they make it obvious,
that: 1. The classes of life have different dimensions, and that
the intermixing of dimensions, as in mathematics it makes a
correct solution impossible, so in life, the results of such
elementary mistakes, produce tragic consequences.
"2. The old formula on which our civilization is built, HUMAN
equal ANIMAL plus or multiplied by SPARK OF DIVINITY is basically
and elementarily wrong, and is mathematical nonsense, which is
identical to such an absurdity as _x_ square inches equal _y_
linear inches plus or multiplied by _z_ cubic inches.
"3. A basically wrong formula on which our civilization rests, is
the cause of all the periodical collapses, wars and revolutions.
"4. The old system was built on animal 'space-binding' standards,
and human 'time-binding' impulses were, all the time, in
rebellion.
"5. As the theory of gravitation and the calculus made engineers
and mathematicians masters of inanimate nature, so these tangible
and incontestable definitions give them a positive base which will
enable them to approach and solve human living problems, by
establishing the mathematical fact that man is man, not an animal.
"6. All of those who are blinded by traditions and refuse to
investigate, or to know these mathematical truths, are a danger to
humanity in directly helping to obscure issues, and in helping to
maintain the faulty structure which, as in the past, is bound to
collap
