... the will-to-be is liberated, conscious, separately active. Thus not any eternal and original law of eternal and original Matter, but the nature of the action of cosmic Mind is the cause of atomic existence. Matter is a creation, and for its creation the infinitesimal, an extreme fragmentation of the Infinite, was needed as the starting-point or basis. Ether may and does exist as an intangible, almost... essential atoms, break it up into the most Page 252 infinitesimal dust of being, we shall still, because of the nature of the Mind and Life that formed them, arrive at some utmost atomic existence, unstable perhaps but always reconstituting itself in the eternal flux of force, phenomenally, and not at a mere unatomic extension incapable of contents. Unatomic extension of substance, extension ...

The root of ...
... light or heat is irresistible. It is the most potent energy in the physcial world. So that this physical world is an expression of life force. Life's first manifestation on earth,—to our mind— is atomic existence in matter. And this physical energy is blind to our view—but it is full of tremendous power. It is life infinitely divided into material particles giving rise to materiality as a first expression ...
... fulfil oneself in others and by others, to be enriched by enriching, to possess and be possessed because without being possessed one does not possess oneself utterly. The inert incapacity of atomic existence to possess itself, the subjection of the material individual to the not-self, belongs to the first status of life. The consciousness of limitation and the struggle to possess, to master both self ...
... strainings in 'echo caverns of desire', 4 and finally 'the need called love' 5 are but derivative-forms, is, as we have pointed out, widely pervasive and evident everywhere in Nature. In the very atomic existence there is something that corresponds to this hunger, and under its subterranean pressure the entelechy of union manifests in various ways in the atomic constituents uniting into atoms, atoms ...
