164 THE BIOC08MOS CELLULAR. 



yet in spite of this, or rather through this, 

 it negates its own negativity and so lives 

 on. In the Cellular Biocosmos we are ac- 

 cordingly to behold not only the positive cell 

 in its origin, structure and association 

 (Cytology), but also the negative cell which 

 separates from the immediate positive cell- 

 life, and assails the same both as individual 

 and as associated. This is hence the second 

 or separative stage of the Cellular Biocos- 

 mos, which in its separated forms is to suf-

 ease and death (the sphere of Pathology).

suffering of assault from without and of ail- 

 ment from within. Yet just this suffering 

 we are to see as part of organized Life in its 

 totality.

 and which is seeking to evolve the same into 

 correspondence with itself. For it is the

 of itself, which continues the same act of self-
