idea, containing visually the figurative outline of itself (the being). 

 An association of more ideal forms (ideas), accumulated in a 

 synthetical order, construct progressively the range of conscious- 

 ness. 



On the other hand, if we could abstract every idea, respec- 

 tively, annihilate it, from the range of consciousness, one by one, 

 in the same order as they are synthetically composed, we would 

 through this process of analyzation logically arrive at the postulat- 

 ing original idea the idea or motive of individualization that is, 

 the state of the origination of the being. 



But now, if an organic being in the primitivest state of life 

 is only conscious of the idea of individualization (of itself) and 

 conscious of the idea to maintain existence, is this not also a con- 

 sciousness, although of a very dim form? Now, again, though 

 the intellect implies the postulates of visuality, that is, the intro- 

 spective faculty, the reflectibility of ideal forms, the intellect or 

 the transcendental entity (soul) must be conscious of these ideal 

 contents or the figurative forms of ideas. 



Hence, the determining efforts of the vital forces (laws of 

 life) constructing spontaneously the anatomical constitution, 

 require for this synthetical process objects of supply (food) ; 

 this will excite the intellect to reflect upon. Consequently, the 

 intellect (soul) must, according to the determining motive or 

 individualizing idea, become conscious of these manifestations. 

 These vital and dynamic forces, growing the body, act inde- 

 pendently from the individualized intellect (soul). The per- 

 petuality of growth will constantly supply the transcendental entity 

 (intellect) with new ideal forms, to register and store them up 

 in the introspective periphery, that is, the sub-consciousness. 



Though the transactions of the vital and dynamic forces 

 which construct the body are independent from the transcendental 

 being, the intellect remains generally in its subjective and passive 

 state. This refers to individuals belonging to lower orders of the 

 animal kingdom. But, ascending to the higher classes of organic 

 beings, where the intensity of the individualizing motive, the 

 idea to maintain existence will naturally also intensify the pleasant 

 feeling of maintaining the welfare of individuality. This will 

 cause spontaneously the intellect to exert reflexibility and further 

 exertion; that is, to increase susceptibility and comprehension.
