ORGANOGNObY. 197 



990. Every Inorganic moves not itself, but is only 

 moved by external influences ; because every Inorganic 

 is only a part of a whole. 



991. The organic motion is present and possible in l< 

 every point of a body. A mass that is automatic, or ti 

 thoroughly moved by itself, is an organism. 



992. The Inorganic consists in motion having vanished 

 from it, and in being simply mass. But the Organic 

 consists exactly in this alone, namely, that the Massive 

 has disappeared, or that the mass is in constant motion. 

 The Organic becomes destroyed, so soon as motion dis- 

 appears in it ; the Inorganic is destroyed, so soon as mo- 

 tion enters it. Motion is therefore the soul, whereby 

 the Organic is elevated above the Inorganic.

PLANETARY AND COSMIC ORGANISM. 



993. Hitherto we have regarded the organism merely 

 in a general point of view ; namely, as regards the sub- 

 stance, form, and processes, which must indiscriminately 

 occur in every organism. We have seen that it is com- 

 posed of at least three elements, the earth, water and 

 air. There is still, however, one combination that is pos- 

 sible and therefore also actual, namely, with the aether 

 or the^m 



994. The organic world has two stages in its develop- 

 ment. Upon each stage, however, it is the totality or sy- 

 notype of nature, yet is different in each. 



995. The organism represents the whole solar system; 

 but this divides into two stages. The lowest of these 

 is the Planetary, or totality of the Earthy, Aqueous 

 and Aerial ; the higher is the Solar or Cosmic, namely, 

 the totality of earth, water, air and fire. Thus there is 

 a tri-elementary and a quadri-elementary totality. As 

 the first is already an organism, so much the more too
