 who are coupled finally in the act of the Cre- 

 ator, or the Universal Ego (Pampsychosis). 

 Or we may say that the process of the cell 

 is an impress upon it from the outside, verily, 

 from above, and I bear the sam'e' impress, to

 Still further that cell-process is not merely an 

 image of the All-process, but is created by it, 

 yea, is created by it creative. So the Creator 

 imparts his own creativity to his Creation, of 

 which the cell with its process is not only an 

 instance, but an integral part. When it is 

 asked whence comes that power of self-divi- 

 sion in the nucleus of the cell the answer may 

 be given that such is the fact and that science 

 inquires no further, content with observing 

 and describing correctly the phenomena. Or 

 it may be said that such a question lies not 

 only beyond the province of science, but be-

 not be quieted by such a makeshift, the search

 the creativity of the part springs from the
