surface, solid, motion, space, time, number, structure, body, and,

in the attention, mind,--and
scores of other factors (study out a

thickness

This line, repeated, becomes habit, which moved through time,

makes conduct, and right conduct, projected through life, yields

project, that surface through to III, you are a fine moral person

If you project surface II through to surface IV, you are magnetic

If you combine these solids, YOU are the Ideal Pyramid, "_I_ AM
