25-2	2-28	Are we to say that the universe is only material things?	Materialism	Suppose I had a box
25-4	5-20	The power of forces. Forces inside the atom are enormouse, but they not "things." What’s the point? A purpose for existence.	Forces Light Purpose	I have to convince you that such a world exists.

27-5	31-28	The conceptual nature of the theory.	Concepts	The difficulty of this diagram …
27-6	4-05	A demonstration of the four categories.	Fourfold	Suppose I say . . . what’s that. A triangle.
27-7	2-34	Introduction to the Torus – an alternative universe.	Torus Universe	Now the boundary of this sphere is way way out.
27-8	0-51	The Torus allows the universe to become unitary. Like your life, it has to come back to center to be of value.	Torus Universe	The real reason for the Torus I’ve yet to reveal.

29-2	2-49	The four-color problem. Plus the seven color problem of the Torus and how the Torus relates to the turn.	Torus Universe The Turn Seven-ness	Let’s take another look at the torus.
29-3	2-05	The Turn is where entropy turns to negative entropy, where the molecule begins to store energy.	The Turn Arc Entropy	What I’ve shown here as a turn here, as an angle . . .
29-4	4-55	The relative freedoms of the animal and plant kingdoms and how they relate to the freedoms of the particle and atomic stages.	Arc Freedom Kingdoms Stages Complexity	The freedom of the particles to move around is reflected over here in the animals which have the freedom to move around.
29-5	1-11	The cumulative nature of process – each stage involves what has gone before.	Arc Stages Hierarchy	I believe we’re going to have to recognize that this ongoing process is cumulative.
29-6	2-12	The relative freedoms of the plant and animal kingdoms. Combining the plant and animal freedoms characterizes the seventh stage. Does this describe man?	Arc Freedom Kingdoms	What is the freedom of the plant?
