Devitalisation means dying away and passing over into pure form. This is what phosphorus accomplishes physiologically. In the process of heredity it mediates the quality of form through the nucleic acids. So too does the light bound into grape sugar in photosynthesis, and its transference through cellular respiration to the phosphoric acid process of adenosine triphosphoric acid (ATP), bind the light wholly into the enduring form of root, stem, leaf, blossom and fruit. In like manner the phospholipids of *myelin* in the brain bring about devitalisation and create consciousness; or the phosphorus of apatite creates the enduring form of bone.
