If we examine the internal life of man we remark the 

 same coincidence. The common assumption that man has 

 only five senses is incorrect; he has seven. 



Do This is consciousness conciousness of life 

 and energy expressed in fear, joy, grief, and the tendency 

 to know. 



Re This is sight, a special external faculty, helping 

 man to recognize the objects surrounding him and to 

 strive to investigate them. 



Me Hearing, which by aural reflections supplies 

 the knowledge of something proceeding in the nature 

 around. This would be a pure note if a man remained in 

 one fixed position, for his knowledge of sensations can 

 only be further extended under conditions of locative 

 change. 



Fa Feeling or touch, enabling man to determine 

 the consistency of surrounding forms whether they are 

 solid or liquid, cold or hot, and of what substance. 



Sol Smell, which is the first development of interior 

 vital activity, furnishing a comprehension of the atmos- 

 phere in which man lives; from whence is born the ten- 

 dency to analyse atmospherical phenomena and substan- 

 tial objects, and to divide these into classes the pleasant 

 and the unpleasant. 



La Taste, the phenomenon of internal feeling of 

 things absorbed, producing a desire to seek the best and 

 fullest satisfaction; the feeling of hunger. 



Qi Catalepsy, stupefaction and unconsciousness 

 the cessation of the active senses, in sleep or faintness, 

 again a pure note leading to no further desires. 



The same scale we see also in the life of vegetation. 



Do The seed semitone. 



Re The sprout and trunk. Semitone. 



Me - - The leaf a pure note. 



Fa The flower semitone. 



Sol The fruit semitone. 



La The decaying plant - - semi-tone.
