Special Stream of Energy

     /Within the/ General Cosmos of Energy (Action), composed of transformations of energy in succession (Time) Rhythm — Discontinuities — /there flows/ a special stream of energy transformed from its Cosmic Milieu — nourished and maintained by it. Within this special stream and environed by it, is a special life-form — genetic cells containing genes whereby cells are determined to a specific pattern as a species.

     These species of cells organize themselves, under direction of their genes, from protozoa to metazoa to vertebrate to mammalian forms, and in this species into the animal-plus or distinguishably human form.

     These animal forms, including the human merely as animal, have so far developed and evolved as to become the necessary environment for their continuing genetic cells. And all these animal species are dependent on interaction with their necessary environment in which they have evolved in the like manner as their genetic cells within them once depended as protozoa upon a special environment before they evolved. So, all the way from protozoa to metazoa to hominid, the life-form is parasitic and utterly dependent on what its environment affords. It is a product /of/ a long series of interactions between genes as male and environment as female resulting in slowly modified genes and a soma organized by them as parasitically to draw from and depend on
