Synopsis
Excerpt from Pluri-Cellular Man: Whence and What Is the Intellect, or Soul? What Becomes of the Soul? Is It
We are told by geologists that in the earliest periods no form of life could exist on the earth. How do they know that A crystal is devoid of this vital principle they say, and yet certain kinds of atoms invariably arrange themselves in a particular way to form a crystal. They did that in geological periods, antedating the appearance of any form of life, and have been doing it ever since, in precisely the same way. Some crystals form in branches like a fern. Why is there not life in the growth of a crystal? Was the vital principle specially created at some particular period of the earth's history, or did it exist and control every atom of matter when the earth was molten I cannot avoid the conclusion that all matter is composed of intelligent atoms, and that life and mind are merely synonymes for the aggregation of atomic intelligence.
