1281. There are thus variations in "births", variations where the product of the birth is something entirely different from a new physical organism of the same kind as the mother organism. A human being, for example, "gives birth" every day to new ideas or thoughts. As these thoughts develop, "embryos" are formed, "embryos" that gradually become "organs" for these thoughts. The formation of these "organs" in the organism thus also constitutes variations of "births". These organs are in themselves also manifestations of "living beings". Since they are born of the organism and mentality of the macrobeing, they are in a way "children" of this macrobeing, just as this being is in turn the "mother" of these "children", which here means, the "cosmic parent principle". And this brings us to the variation of the "principle of birth" to which the Earth owes its birth or separation from a greater solar mass here on the physical plane. The Earth is an "organ" in the organism of our solar system, just as our lungs, our heart and our liver and so on are organs in our own organism. Terrestrial human beings do not regard these organs as their "children" in the same way as they regard the flesh-and-blood children of their sexual life, just as they do not regard themselves as the "father" or "mother" of these organs in the literal sense, even though they cannot deny being somehow their origin.
