Here again we see the same continuity of phenomena; the protoplasm as a complex organic physico-chemical unit which has the peculiarity to “live,” to grow and multiply “autonomously” and this same autonomous peculiarity _applies_ to the _time-binding energy_; it grows and multiplies “autonomously” in its own dimension. The time-binding energy is a complex radiating energy somewhat like the emanations of radium and it probably also has many different subdivisions. _Note that the transformation of the atom_ or the transformation of _radio-active substances after passing different stages, is not complete but probably ends in lead, whereas the transformation which occurs in the production of the time-binding energy probably is complete or nearly complete and is that which I call the time-binding energy. (See _App. I_.)_ All the higher characteristics of man which it is customary to call the “mental, spiritual and will powers,” etc., are embraced in this exact definition of energy—in the capacity of time-binding. A diagram will better explain the continuity, evolution and mechanism of this time-binding energy. [ A series of circles, connected by lines, the leftmost circle being C1, then next C2, and so on to C7. The first is connected to the second by line T1, the second to the third by T2, etc. Each circle after the first has within it an energy indication, E1, E2, etc. ] Biology and Time-Binding. _C__1_ is the physico-chemical base (for simplicity I represent the whole complex as one base) of the human time-binding energy. _T__1_ is the thought produced by a physico-chemical process (corresponding, for illustration’s sake only, to electricity produced by a galvanic battery). The thought _T__1_ in turn produces a physico-chemical effect _E__1_ on the base _C__1_ (corresponding for the same reason to electrolysis and electrolyte in electricity). _C__1_ and _E__1_ combined, or _C__2_ produces _T__2_ which again in turn affects the base and produces a physico-chemical effect _E__2_, this new combination produces the energy _T__3_, and so on ... theoretically without limits, as long as there is _any source_ of energy upon which this special energy can draw. This theory which I call the “spiral theory” represents a suggestive working mechanism of the time-binding energy and is in accord with the latest scientific discoveries. It explains the processes of all the mental and so-called spiritual energies which have been such a puzzle to humanity, and it also explains other phenomena which, until now, have had no scientific explanation whatever.
