350 The Unity of the Organism 



bryology (see section on the pro-morphology of the egg- 

 cell, Chap. 8), might be called pro-consciousness, is an 

 attribute of all animal organisms. As comparative anatomy 

 and physiology have made us familiar with the physical as- 

 pect of the animal organism existing as the fully realized 

 or developed adult at one end of the ontogenic series, and as 

 the unrealized adult or germ at the other end of the same 

 series, exactly so its psychology gradually familiarizing us 

 with the realized, or adult mind at one end of the ontogenic 

 series, and as the unrealized or germinal mind at the other 

 end of the same series. When we affirm that the completed 

 individual organism is latent in the germ, we must under- 

 stand that the psychical aspect no less than the physical 

 aspect is so latent. With very little doubt, it seems to me, 

 the real meaning of the so-called sub-conscious, and of 

 psycho-analysis as a method of investigating it, is that the 

 ontogenic stages of the psychic life of the human organism 

 are being discovered and that a method of investigating these 

 stages is being worked out. Freud and his followers have 

 been and still are somewhat in the dark, I think, as to just 

 what they are doing, albeit their discoveries and methods are 

 of the utmost importance.
