tions, although these manifestations indicate the influence of 

 intellect. 



They have not assumed this mode of posing during their 

 present time ; that is, owing to their incompetence of mental abil- 

 ity. Consequently, they must have the fundamental idea of this 

 rational instinctive transaction inherited from far back by their 

 earliest progenitors, and then they have apparently this modus 

 more expediently adapted from generation to generation. 



The fundamental idea of this rational transaction (these 

 rational poses) must have been already originated in the remotest 

 progenitor of that specie ; that is, originated in the male in order to 

 correspond with the feelings of their respective female, the feeling 

 of taste (color and beauty) and be courted. The impulse of this 

 idea, that is, the motion of the male individual to charm and 

 conquer the sexual mate by this means, must naturally set the 

 plastical energies in motion, to construct the fundamental original 

 forms of ornamental plumage, at the beginning of primitive fea- 

 tures and simplicity. 



Furthermore, through the laws of inheritance, the stability 

 of the plastical energies, these forms of rational manifestation 

 have become in the succeeding generations gradually more and 

 more impulsive and inductive ; in other words, have become spon- 

 taneous functions, implied within the psychological constitution 

 of the individual, which instinctively becomes excited in cases of 

 contact with the object, and then inducts the objective intellect 

 (mentally) to transact accordingly. 



Through the impulsive character of these spontaneous ener- 

 gies, the individual is becoming subjectively conscious of its sub- 

 jective-objective demonstrative manifestations; they firstly induce 

 the instinctive intellect (sub-consciousness), and from which then 

 the objective intellect (super-consciousness mentality) is reason- 

 ing the principles of the prevailing effect. 



Now, we must bear in mind that the here so-termed intuitive 

 intellect or sub-consciousness and the objective-positive intellect 

 or super-consciousness represent essentially one and the same 

 individualized intellect (soul) which together with the pathetical 

 faculties forms the transcendental constitution of the individual. 

 But the so-called intellect represents in its actions and abilities two 

 different phases. The transcendental individuality of the organic
