"He who looks will not see it;
He who listens will not hear it;
He who gropes will not grasp it.
The formless nonentity, the motionless source of motion.
The infinite essence of the spirit is the source of life.
Spirit is self.
Walls form and support a room,
yet the space between them is most important.
A pot is formed of clay,
yet the space formed therein is most useful.
Action is caused by the force of nothing on something,
just as the nothing of spirit is the source of all form.
One suffers great afflictions because one has a body.
Without a body what afflictions could one suffer?
When one cares more for the body than for his own spirit,
One becomes the body and looses the way of the spirit.
The self, the spirit, creates illusion.
The delusion of Man is that reality is not an illusion.
One who creates illusions and makes them more real than
reality, follows the path of the spirit and finds the
way of heaven".

Lao-Tse

Hmm that agrees with everything else I read regarding the first matter. It's describing air. Air always fills the voids in empty objects. More importantly is it also says air has spirit in it. The emerald tablet and countless other resources say the exact same thing.

the air you can hear and see its effects.

air, water, stibnite... are only bodies or containers, a means of expression of the spirit.

we live in a gross state and try to "conjure" the pneuma
