Life substance no. 62 – "X2"
1001. But as this "X" "experiences" and "manifests", which is the same as to create, it has, as we have also seen in previous analyses, an ability to create. This ability to create is just as eternal as this "X", because if there had been a time when it had not had the ability to create, it would not have been possible for it to have come about, for what would it have produced it with? This ability to create is just as eternal as "X1". But as it is eternal and consequently cannot be a created phenomenon, it cannot in itself have any analysis either. As we have said before, only things that have been produced can have an analysis. This ability to create can therefore, just like "X1", be expressed only as "something that is". Over and above this, it must by its very nature be nameless, which is why we have expressed it as "X2". But as no creation, that is to say, no manifestation or experience of life for any being would be able to take place without this ability, just as it is this very phenomenon that constitutes life's seventh basic energy – the "mother energy" – we will express it here as "life substance no. 62".
