Because I say that you create physical matter by use of the inner vitality of the universe, in the same way that you form a pattern with your breath on a glass pane, I do not mean that you are the creators of the universe. I am saying that you are the creators of the physical world as you know it. Chemicals themselves will not give rise to consciousness or life. Your scientists will have to face the fact that consciousness comes first and evolves its own form.... All the cells in the body have a separate consciousness. There is a conscious cooperation between the cells in all the organs, and between the organs themselves...Molecules and atoms and even smaller particles have a condensed consciousness. They form into cells and form an individual cellular consciousness. This combination results in a consciousness that is capable of much more experienceand fulfillment than would be possible for the isolated atom or molecule alone. This goes on ad infinitum . . . to form the physical body mechanism. Even the lowest particle retains its individuality and its abilities [through this cooperation] are multiplied a million fold. Matter is a medium for the manipulation and transformation of psychic energy into aspects that can then be used as building blocks. . . . Matter is only cohesive enough to give the appearance or relative permanence to the senses that perceive it. Matter is continually created, but no particular object is in itself continuous. There is not, for example one physical object that deteriorates with age. There are instead continuous creations of psychic energy into a physical pattern that appears to hold a more or less rigid appearance. No particular object 'exists long enough' as an indivisible, rigid, or identical thing to change with age. The energy behind it weakens. The physical pattern therefore blurs. After a certain point each recreation becomes less perfect from your standpoint- After many such re-creations that have been unperceived by you, then you notice a difference and assume that a change . . .has occurred. The actual material that seems to make up the object has completely disappeared many times, and the pattern has been completely filled again with new matter. Physical matter makes consciousness effective within three-dimensional reality. As individualized energy approaches your particular field, it expresses itself to the best of its ability within it. As energy approaches it creates matter, first of all in an almost plastic fashion. But the creation is continuous like a beam or endless series of beams, at first weak as they arc far off, then stronger, then weak again as they pass away. Matter of itself, however, is no more continuous, no more given to growth or age than is, say, the color yellow."
