334 THE BIOCOSMOS PARTICULARIZED 



merly united in one body, are now separated 

 into two bodies which are still symmetrical in 

 Generation. The dualism of the organs of the 

 one organism which was so prominent in As- 

 similation has passed over into two organ- 

 isms, of two opposite but symmetrical sexes. 

 The animal individual in order to reproduce 

 itself as individual must be taken back to its 

 source, must be dipped afresh as it were into 

 the original fountain of its being, through one 

 of the opposite sex. It has to begin over 

 again from its germinal cell, and evolve as 

 a new individual, assimilated and also assimi- 

 lating. Thus it shares in both sides, or in- 

 herits, as the saying runs, from both parents. 

 Thus the organic dualism which is so deeply 

 imprinted on the one body, breaks into two 

 bodies, which, however, return to the one body 

 in the offspring. Each individual through 

 the other participates in the total Process, 

 shares in the Generic, the Universal, the self- 

 creative All. Over the individual is the genus 

 which subordinates him in order to re-create 

 him as individual who is, therefore, not in 

 himself generic. The absolute genus (the true 

 summum genus] is the Pampsychosis, far 

 above the natural or organic genus ; through 

 the latter the individual can only reproduce 

 himself again, not being the genus as such, 

 or as self-creative. The self-dividing and
