Ordinary matter is made of minerals...
In Chemistry, we see them arrayed in the Periodic Table of the Elements.
Within that organizational layout is a group known as the Transition Metals.
This group includes about a dozen minerals that are now known to also exist in a non-metallic state, originally patented as ORMEs by David Hudson in the 1990s...
He coined the name ORMEs for this unique state of matter as an acronym for Orbitally Rearranged Monoatomic Elements.
Modern day alchemists also work with these Transition Minerals to alter their state between the metal and what is often referred to as Monatomic Minerals or ORMUS...
According to the experience of alchemists throughout the ages, this non-ordinary state of matter is the essence, the carrier, and the substrate of consciousness itself.
It is the stuff... the non-ordinary stuff... of the soul... the spirit... the immortal sentient body that is our true identity.
