919. The world-organism only is eternal, and devoid of change, with the exception of that which is within its poles. It can itself change with no other, because it is only one.
920. No individual organism is eternal, because it is only a changing pole of the world-organism.
921. There is no constancy in the individualities. Change only is persistent.
922. The world only is persistent. Nothing in it is constant. Were individuals not to perish, but live for ever, the world must then die; for the life of the world, like every life, consists only in the change of poles. Individuals could in no way therefore continue alive, if the world were to remain alive, because this is only possible through change of the individuals, which are its organs; nor could they, were the world to die, because the totality of individuals is the world itself.
923. Death is no annihilation, but only a change. One individual emerges out of another. Death is only a transition to another life, not unto death.
924. This transition from one life to another takes place through the primary condition of the Organic, or the mucus.
925. If new individuals originate, they could not therefore originate directly from others; but they must be redissolved into mucus. Every generation is a new creation.
b. FORM—GLOBE.
926. The organism is a metatype of the planet and must also have the corresponding form. It is the Sphere. This results also from the combination of the three actions, which being in equiponderance could only produce the globe.
927. The sphere must commence with the idea of the point. For the idea of the sphere is the idea of the centre, which is a point. The point, however, is not different from the sphere. It is only the infinitely small or minute sphere.
