MIND NOT FORCE. 6 1 



been constructed by force. Force is conditioned 

 by the apparatus it has built up. Force is the 

 architect, the director, the builder, and force is 

 afterwards directed, changed, and modified by 

 the working of the machinery it has designed, 

 constructed, and made. Force is that which con- 

 ditions, and that which is conditioned. Force 

 forms the instrument which correlates and is 

 correlated by it. It is at one time that which 

 produces the correlating apparatus, and at an- 

 other is itself correlated by the results of its 

 own constructive power. The constructor is a 

 correlative of the work performed by the me- 

 chanism he has produced. The artificer, the 

 machine, and the work done by the machine, 

 are then all correlative ! 



But does not " life " exist before brain and 

 nerves, the instruments of mind, are formed ? 

 If then "life," which manifests itself in man's 

 organism before mind is evolved, which some- 

 times exists independently of mind, but without 

 which mind could not exist, be a correlate of 

 heat, it must be a correlate very different from 

 mind. The difference, it will be said, is due to 

 the difference of the molecular machinery which 

 effects the conditioning of the forces. But the
