What is Matter?

[Dr. Kinley] "....I been trying my best to convey to your mind what matter is. What is it anyhow? What is the source from whence it derived? Where is it going to? Where did you come from? And where are you going to? And how do you know that whatever it is? You wanna talk about philosophy, metaphysics, and divine psychology, that's what you wanna do, and if you don't wanna do that, you should. Matter is, one of the lexicographers said this, "Anything that occupies space." I take the position of an etymologist I'll go get the roots. Matter is spirit materialized. God is spirit, and everything comes from spirit, it doesn't make any difference what it is it derives from spirit. What's the source of its final destiny? Where is it going to? It's going back to where it comes from."¹

Three Major Divisions of the Brain

Enclosed within the skull is the central organ of the nervous system--the brain. There are "three major divisions of the brain: the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain." The appearance of the brain is made up of both grey and white matter.

Brain Matter

Def: matter, n. [L. matter, wood; Armen. pine, cedar; Russ. firm, strong, and perhaps to L. mater mother. See Mother, Madeira, Material] 1. That of which any physical object is composed; material; substance; constituents; elements; also, material prepared or selected for any purpose; the gray matter of the cortex. 3. Material or substance regarded ast he passive recipient of form; hence, that which is or may be given a new form. 4. Physical substance as made up of chemical elements and distinguished from incorporeal substance, action, qualities, etc. 5. Amount; quantity; portion; space;--often indefinite. 13. Obs. The first phase of creation; chaos. 14. Christian Science Another name for mortal mind; illusion; the opposite of Spirit; that of which immortal Mind takes no cognizance; that which mortal mind sees, feels, hears, tastes, and smells only in belief. 15. Law. That which is to be proved; as by some record, by evidence of any kind except a record, solely by the testimony of winesses unsupported by any record or other written or tangible evidence. Philos. The indeterminate subject of reality; the wholly or virtually passive element in the universe; the unorganized basis or stuff of experience which when combined with form, or the ideal element, gives phenomena, or real objects. The metaphysical conception of matter as that which combines or synthesizes the variable elements of existence, though in itself wholly indeterminate, takes its rise in the Platonic and Aristotelian notion of hyle, the passive or potential substance or substratum upon which form acts to produce realities. Cf. Form, Idea, Noumenon, Substance. 19. Physics. Whatever occupies space; that which is considered to constitute the substance of the physical universe, and, with energy, to form the basis of objective phenomena. The nature of matter is unknown but some of the properties attributed to it are volume or extension, impenetrability, mass or inertia, compressibility, elasticity, etc. Various phenomena indicate that all matter is composed of minute particles, protons and electrons. See Atomic Theory, Conservation of Mass, Energy.

Grey Matter

The grey matter of the brain is "made up largely of nerve cells". At first glance, the surface of brain is made up of grey matter and forms what is "convolutions of the cerebrum, and the laminae of the cerebellum"...."grey matter is found in the interior of the brain, collected into large and distinct masses or ganglionic bodies, such as the corpus striatum, optic thalamus, and corpora quadrigemina." Under this first layer, the "...grey matter is found intermingled intimately with the white, but without definite arrangement..."

White Matter

The white matter of the brain is "made up chiefly of nerve fibres arising from the nerve cells of the brain". And in the third layer "the white matter of the brain is divisible into three distinct classes of fibres: diverging, comissural, and associations fibres."

Convolutions

[Dr. Kinley] "The, the tabernacle is a tabernacle of your, of your body, or of the earthly part. The cloud is up here, your brain is the cloud, and you see the devil setting up here in your brain, psychologically speaking, controlling your thoughts and telling you that you owe allegiance and homage, obedience and so forth and so on to him. And then it's often taught to you and it cuts a groove in your brain. Now convolutions, that's a groove, and you know how your brain is crinkled up just like this cloud up here, just like this cloud. It's that way to show you so it's convoluted."
