220 SUPER-ORGANIC EVOLUTION 



result that, even by reducing the elements of 

 evolution to two, there exists between these two 

 the same unity as between an organ and its function. 

 Thus one sees the dependence and relation of all 

 the phenomena of the cosmos, and how we have 

 arrived at the monist conception. 



In writing this chapter we shall take into 

 account the unity of phenomena, and on connecting- 

 some with others, we shall see the relation of the 

 cosmic medium, the social medium and man. 



If man, the result of organic evolution, depends 

 on general mechanics, humanity, a super-organic 

 organism, for the same reason is also governed by 

 universal laws. Every time that humanity separates 

 herself from these, she decays or sickens, to again 

 recover if she approaches normal conditions. 



In the future there will arise from this unfor- 

 tunate humanity a happy one, that, adapting 

 itself to natural laws, will develop in an indefinite 

 progression, in which misery and diseases will 

 be unknown. 



Let us recall the experiment of Tyndall, of which 

 we have already spoken, according to which, on 

 making a crystal bell to sound by means of a violin 

 bow, the vibration of the bell arranges the sand in 

 a regular form ; which means that the vibrations, 

 whose rhythmic energy induces the symmetrical 

 form in which the sand keeps placing itself, are
