208 SUPER-ORGANIC EVOLUTION

 cosmic, social, or individual, both in the physical 

 and moral plane ; and one can understand how 

 easily are changed the functions of reproduction, 

 which is a glandular secretion. 



Immense are the responsibilities that weigh upon

Between these three terms, the cosmic medium, 

 the man, and the glands that preside over the 

 reproduction of the species, there should exist a 

 complete relation and unity. To break this unity 

 and dependence is to neutralise the work of Nature, 

 whose organic beings are wonderful harmonies. 

 And intelligent man, in whom these harmonies 

 should converge, brings about the exact opposite. 



We can consider the nervous element of every 

 gland as above stated, and, as the testicle and the 

 ovary are two glands, we can regard their cells as 

 spermatoblasts, or rather ovoblasts. Nerve-fibrils 

 surround them and control them, in order to 

 communicate to them the kind of nutrition which
