1280. Here one will perhaps again claim that this is true enough, but that such births always produce children of the same species or the same nature as the parents, which thus means that cell division results in a new, equal cell, a cutting of a plant becomes a plant of the same species as the mother plant, a dog gives birth to a puppy, and a human being gives birth to a human being. As regards the birth of a planet or its separation from a greater solar mass or, to be more explicit, the separation, if any, of the Earth from the solar body, one cannot say that the Earth has become a planet or a being of the same species as its "mother", the sun. The Earth, regarded as a "living being", is a species of being that belongs to a spiral below the spiral of the solar being, namely, the "planet spiral". In the case of the creation of the Earth, we thus see a "birth" where the mother being "gives birth" to a "child" that does not belong to its own spiral. Here one will therefore suppose that no parallel to such a form of "birth" exists in any case whatsoever. One will therefore claim that the Earth cannot be a "child" of the sun, in the way that a cell is a child of another cell, or a human being is a child of another human being. And this is of course absolutely true. But this does not alter the fact that the splitting of the Earth from a greater solar mass is a variation of the "principle of birth". By nature this principle extends far beyond the variations in which the product of the birth is a child of the same species or type as the mother.
