100 THE HOMOGENEOUS AND THE GDKEIIAL. 







ferentiated object, with definite shape or external limits, 

 and with distinctive differences of the parts. So,- in 

 another sphere, if we speak of Mind in general, we 

 mean mind as a uniform and unlimited ideal Substance, 

 and, therefore, as Homogeneous ; but if we speak of 

 The Human Mind, or of the mind of a particular indi- 

 vidual, we mean, as it were, a determinate and highly 

 differentiated object, a Complicated Organismus, and 

 as such, something Heterogeneous in kind. 



136. The diffused Universal ether which, theoreti- 

 cally at least, fills all space, may be taken as the 

 Type of what is signified by THE HOMOGENEOUS 

 technically THE HOMOGENISMUS ; as the typical re- 

 presentative, in other words, of all objects or parts 

 of Nature which are homogeneous in character. A 

 planet, with its freightage of "minerals, vegetables 

 and animals, our world, the earth, for example, the 

 limited Cosmos, enucleated from its matrix of dif- 

 fused and attenuated matter is, on the other hand, 

 the Type of what is meant by THE HETEROGENEOUS 



-technically THE HETEROGENISMUS ; as the typical 

 representation, in other words, of all objects or parts 

 of Nature which are heterogenized in character. 



137. The Homogenisnius of the General Cosmos in- 

 cludes TheProto-pragmata, Bdmj, Matter, Tune, S} 'ace, 

 etc., and easily lapses into the idea of general diffusive- 

 ness and Liquidity, winch belong, however, really to the 

 Generabismus, defined in the next subsequent paragraph 

 (138.) These Liquidities are, primarily, the Great 

 Ocean of Ether, then, the Atmosphere as repeating it, 

 then, Water and all Fluids, and finally, all Plasm; is.
