Herbs are still in process of being discovered. Types and classifications of herbs. Herbs as moral forces, not transformed by man's influences. They contain vital energies. Relationship to the four elements and to the human body. The visible and the invisible. Today only the visible is accepted. Herbs act in the invisible realm. We have lost the fineness of the senses. Quality is far more important than quantity. Synthetic flavors cannot replace natural flavors; they belong to the modern age of deception. They expose us to the forces of the subterestial natures where they originate. The energy of the sun is not heat or light. Origin has the most energy, and herbs partake of this origin. (13:26)
