If the energies of instinct and gravity did not exist
1272. As previously mentioned, none of these energies exists individually in a pure, unmixed form , since for all eternity they have always been, and for all eternity will be, attached to one another, because if , as previously mentioned, even one of them were missing, all functioning would be totally impossible. If "instinct" did not exist, how could any being develop and possess automatic functioning. And without automatic functioning, how would the functioning of the heart, lungs, liver and glands and so on fare in the organisms? How could an I create consciousness without organic, automatic functioning, which is of course promoted exclusively by the "energy of instinct". If the "energy of gravity" were missing, which means, the explosive, "outgoing", disintegrating, destructive or shattering force in the universe and behind the exercise of will, how could a being then create? To "create" is in turn the same as to "think", "act" and "construct". But how could one "construct" without the aid of a "destructive" force? "Construction" is of course not possible without "demolished" material. Any "substance" can of course become "material" for "creation" or "construction" only by being separated or liberated from the substances to which it is otherwise attached. One would be unable to promote "thinking" and the "exercise of will", and would thus be entirely without consciousness or mentality if the "energy of gravity" did not exist.
