Text: "The nature of matter is more subtle than that of light (see LIGHT). Matter is also an etheric phenomenon, but it is not a wave motion in the same sense. In the vastness of space are located points of primary vibration (see NEUTRAL CENTER, NODE, etc.) which are capable of setting the ether into the third mode of vibration, namely that in which the spatial matrix undergoes motion in the fourth dimension. In effect, these primary points themselves vibrate in a direction transverse to the ether, and this transverse vibration is communicated to the etheric substance to give rise to the transverse motion. In the Flatland analogy, the primary points could be compared to contacts on a stretched film or sheet, in the direction perpendicular to its main extent. This would cause a series of expanding ripple waves progressing outwardly from each point, much like the waves travelling outwardly on a millpond surface from the point where a stone is dropped into the water. The primary points in the real world thus give rise to traveling transverse wave patterns which cross each other and interact to form a number of stationary waves that include locations of low vibration called nodes, and locations of high vibration called anti-nodes. The standingwave pattern is similar to that experienced by a stretched string fixed at both ends and struck or plucked at an intermediate point. When node locations of a number of such patterns are all coincident at a single location, the ether becomes very still at that location with respect to its transverse vibrational mode. If the ether becomes completely stationary for even a fraction of a second at that location, it immediately contracts or condenses into a denser and more solid state. It is this small bit of condensed or contracted ether which has been called the proton. Surrounding the condensed packet of ether are concentric rings of very high transverse vibration, and it is in these concentric rings that the various electrons take form. The error which scientists have made in regard to the electron is to assume that the electron is something, whereas in fact it is nothing, or even less than nothing. The explanation of this paradox is a simple one. At the concentric rings of high vibration surrounding the contracted proton, the ether is in such an agitated state that small openings or breaches in its texture spontaneously arise. Each "hole" in the ether becomes a spinning vortex through which the etheric substance spins out into the fourth dimension. The ether which passes outwardly through the spinning hole arcs over through the fourth dimension and is drawn back into the etheric matrix at the proton itself.
