aspect of the successive phases, each such stage is intelligible 
dynamically only as a factor in the whole A, 5, or C. Could 
we properly understand the matter, A, B and C would be but 
instaneous photographs or ^^cross-sections’’ of our life (career), 
and do not exist as such; and a, h and c are but intrinsic inter- 
pretations of that changing movement or transition from A to 
B, etc. To search for the ^ Aground” for consciousness c in con- 
sciousness h is like finding cause for a shadow in the same shadow 
some time before. But the series of shadows is a reflex and gives 
us clues — our only clues as to movement A — C. And the reaction 
of C upon other motor-complexes will be quite different from that 
of A or B.
