316 THE BIOCOSM08 PARTICULARIZED. 



This is, therefore, the universal organ pen- 

 etrating everywhere within its sphere, and 

 yet a particular organ too, whose function 

 is to unite all the particular organs, to sub- 

 ordinate their particular separative charac- 

 ter, and therewith its own. We may call it 

 the organ of all organs; specializing visibly, 

 it must also visibly universalize all special- 

 ized organs, including itself. This double 

 part it has to enact, yea to organize sensibly. 



The Nervous System with the Brain directs 

 the outwardly directed and the inwardly di- 

 rected organs of the body, and directs itself 

 therein. So we see the perpetual round of 

 nervous action whose image is realized in the 

 above-mentioned cycles. As every point of 

 the Organism in its separation must be hunted 

 up by a nerve and joined to the center, there 

 arises the surprisingly large number of 

 nerves in the human body 499,500, some 

 have estimated. But the very object of this 

 enormous differentiation is to overcome dif- 

 ferentiation, to bring back all these differ- 

 ences to unity. Still this has to be done out- 

 wardly, materially, by an organ; thus the 

 Nervous System with the brain is the high- 

 est visible manifestation of the Universal in- 

 corporate ; or it is the Psychosis materialized, 

 as far as this can be brought about. Note- 

 worthy is the fact that the seat of the psychi-
