1. The warmth ether manifests in heat, which etherian physics regards as the fourth state of matter, and not a mere mode of motion affecting the other three states. My photographs of the atmospheric bioforms could not have been made without heat-sensitive film. We have recorded animate things extant and conscious in this fourth state of matter. These objects were photographed in situ, and are an adventurer's contribution to a valid new conception of heat as the fourth state of matter. The warmth ether tends to produce objects of spherical form, i.e., it shapes matter into globes. I have more than my share of globular critters an both stills and movies.

2. The light ether reaches the direct physical perception of man as the normal light of the terrestrial environment. When light ether acts unimpeded in nature, it produces triangular forms. In field experiments with the cloudbuster, triangular forks of lightning have been produced on many occasions, in another break-in to the experimental side of etherian physics made possible by Reich's discoveries.

3. The chemical ether or sound ether, also known as the number ether, is active in chemical processes of all kinds, and also transmits sound to the human ear - the tones of the audible world around us. Sound has tremendous formative power, well illustrated externally by the Chladni sound figures. In these experiments, dust laid upon a tightly stretched diaphragm adapts varying forms in accordance with varying tones.

Physically audible tones nevertheless are an infinitesimal part of the total tone activity vibrating everywhere in space, the waves produced by the forces of chemical ether. Sound or chemical ether gives form to the natural things of our world. In nature, the chemical ether, when working unimpeded, produces half-moon forms. Centripetal in action, it is interlocked with all the phenomena of cold and contraction.

4. The life ether is the most highly evolved of the four, and also the most complex and diverse in its essential qualities. Life ether is radiated to the earth by the sun. Like the chemical ether, it is a suctional, centripetal force — a force that draws inwards. The formative power of the life ether, when working unimpeded in substance, manifests in the square shape.

Each of the four ethers manifests naturally in its own color. The colors are:

Warmth ether — Red
Light ether — Yellow
Chemical ether — Blue
Life ether — Purple/Violet

Each of the four ethers has a natural spatial tendency. These spatial tendencies are:

Warmth Ether — Radial, expansive; centrifugal
Light Ether — Radial, expansive, centrifugal
Chemical Ether — Suctional, contractive, centripetal
Life Ether — Suctional, contractive, centripetal

Each of the four ethers manifests in its own natural state of matter. These states are:

Warmth Ether — Heat
Light Ether — Gaseous or aeriform
Chemical Ether — Liquid or fluid
Life Ether — Solid

Anyone who has wondered why or how different colored flowers of the same type come into being should inspect not just the color of the flowers, but the shape of the leaves. The formative signature of the appropriate ether will be found in the differing shapes of the leaves, i.e., the yellow flower's leaf will have a more triangular form than the red flower of the same kind. Try it and see.
