1407. It is thus pure "chance" that there is life and experience, indeed that "living beings" exist at all. Imagine if the "chance" rippling of the ocean of matter had not produced the coincidence of energies that constitutes the "living being" or "life"? Is it conceivable that a university science that drew such conclusions could continue to hold its ground? Is it conceivable that in the future people could be awarded doctorates or professorships for demonstrating the identity or emergence of life as a consequence of a "chance" ripple in the great wave movement or display of energy of the universe's ocean of substance? Is it not conceivable that this "worship of chance" will fade a little as people gradually understand that the organism of a living being is a world of other living beings, indeed, of millions of living beings. That these individuals are "micro-individuals" does not alter the principle at all. If one supposes that a living being from the "mesocosmos", for example a terrestrial human being, has come into existence through a strange, "chance" ripple or the exact coincidence of movements of energy that could connect the specific energies that determine the emergence of a terrestrial human being, and that this terrestrial human being in turn consists of millions of small living beings, the emergence of each of which has come into existence in exactly the same way through the "chance" coincidence or "chance" connections of the substances or matter that were needed in order that that life could become a reality, and that the microbeings in turn are also living beings with organisms consisting of living beings just like the organisms in the mesocosmos, this will thus mean that the terrestrial human being's emergence is determined, not by one "chance occurrence", but by millions upon millions of "chance occurrences".
