PRIMARY AND SECONDARY APPEARANCE.

ence being inherently the Unity of Law is, nevertheless, functionally, and so in a Secondary Appearance, Pluraloid. From the Higher or Transcendental Universological Point of View, -that of Secondary Appearance,—it is true, then, that Nature is Duismal, and Science is Unismal; but ordinarily we speak from the lower Understanding of the Subject.

765. So it is in Primary Appearance that Singulism presents itself as ONE only; in Secondary Appearance it is Plural (Singuli); and it is in Primary Appearance that Pluralism presents itself as Plural or Diverse, while in Secondary Appearance it is, from the Spiritual Unity of the Sum, Collective or Singuloid. There is then here a COMPOUND TERMINAL CONVERSION INTO OPPOSITES, (t. 84), and CONVERTIBLE IDENTITY (t. 89). Secondary Appearance coincides with Inherence. It is the reverse of the Picture, still, however, observationally considered. Appearance, of all Grades, has still to be contrasted with Radical Inherence which is The Law of Being revealed by Ultimate Analysis; that which is not Appearance at all, except to the Rational Faculty in Man. The Ostensible Multifariousness of Nature is a Secondary Appearance, contrasted with the Primitive Confused Unity of Nature, and repeats, or echoes to, Science; but it is still not Science in the Higher or Transcendental Sense of the Term, until the Underlying and Inherent LAW OF THE PHENOMENA is discovered and demonstrated to the Reason. This last is the Basis of the Higher Spiritual Unity, the complete Consensus Animorum.

766. It is because Primitive Appearance is related to Natural Unity, and Law, or the Secondary Aspect of Inherence, to Spiritual Unity; and because, by LOYALTY TO THE DoMINANT OF THE DOMAIN, (t. 523), Primism Leads or Governs in the Naturismus, and Secondism in the Scientismus, that Intuition, which cognizes Primary Natural Appearance, is in a Kind of Unity with Transcendental Science, or the last word of Scientific discovery, despite their Natural Antithesis. It is

TEMPORAL AND SPIRITUAL GOVERNMENT.

again this harmony which opens the way to the reconciliation of all extremes.

767. A word further is needed of explanation in regard to the two Fundamental Varieties of Inherence. Primary Inherence is the Unity of Individuals in the Group; and in Absolute Priority, it is the Union of the Parts and Properties, (treated herein as Subordinate Units), around the Centering Principle or Soul, in the Constitution of the Single Unit, Object, or Individual. The Pivot of the Group, representing this Inherence, is the more Immediate and Ostensible Governor. It is allied with Comte's idea of the Temporal Government. It is the Over-Soul of the Transcendental Naturalist. In a Universal Sense it is the God of Arbitrismal Theology (t. 48, 198).

768. Secondary Inherence is the Unition, by Identity of Law, of Groups into Series and Systems of Groups; or of Special Domains into Domains-of-Comparison-between-Domains, (Transcendental). It is the Abstract Law here which functionates predominantly, instead of the Personal or Objectlike Pivot, which last may still be interposed, however, by Subdominance or in a Secondary Sense. The Law first, and then the Subdominant Pivot under the Law, (Personal or Object-like), is then the less obvious, but it may be the more effective Spiritual Governor. This is allied with Comte's idea of a Spiritual Government for Mankind, based on Science. It is that Inherent Universality of Law which is the Key-Note of Science, and of Transcendental Philosophy. Theologically, it is the Logos, or the God-Conception of Pure Rationalism.

769. The Tertiary Inherence is the Composity and Reconciliation of the two preceding varieties. It is the Integration of the Temporalities and the Spiritualities of Being and of Society by virtue of a higher understanding of the nature of their Relationship. It is the Pantarchal Régime in Government; the God-Conception of a New Catholicity in Theology and Religion; the Reconciliative Harmony, in fine, in all things, of Opposite Extremes.

770. WE resume in the present Chapter the consideration of FORM; ascending merely to higher and more concrete Elaborations of the Symbolism of the Subject. The Symbolism of Form, intuitionally prevised, has been the special Depository of the Institution of Free Masonry. Intellectually discovered, it is the Science of Universal Morphology, and the Central Domain of Scientific Analogy (t. 905).

771. Number, as representative of Entity or Thing, is Naturoid or Philosophoid. Form, which furnishes the Rule and

the Square, is Scientoid or Echosophoid. As compared with each other, Number, as representative of Substance, is Feminoid, and Form is Masculoid.

772. To gain a farther entrance into this new Domain of Thought, let us recur to the question of Sex. This great discrimination really permeates all Being. It is recognized by the Scientific World, in a glimmering and indeterminate manner, lower down than the Vegetable; quite distinctly in the Vegetable Kingdom; but most clearly among Animals; and in the full richness of its Material and Spiritual Significance, only as between Man and Woman.

773. Every animal, or, at most, with the minimum of exception, originates from an Egg. "Omne vivum ex ovo" (Every Living Thing comes from an Egg). The Egg, in the midst of an infinite variety, has yet one general characteristic or typical shape that which is indicated by the word Oval (Lat. ovum, plur. ova, an EGG, EGGS). The egg of the turtle is virtually round or globose; that of some birds but little removed from that type; that of other birds more elongated or distinctly Oval. The Egg of the common domestic hen may be taken as the standard shape of an Egg, as that with which man is most familiar, and to which his thoughts of an Egg ordinarily recur.

774. The Egg everywhere originates with, and is characteristic of, the Female Animal. It repeats the Seed of the Vegetable and the Atom of the Mineral. It is the Epitome of the Female, and of Substance or Matter. It is therefore Naturoid and Philosophoid. It is the Storehouse of the Materials of all Future Constructions unimpregnated (at first) by the Spiritual or Formative influence of the Male Principlethat which is subsequently to introduce specific Limitations or Featuring among these primitive Materials (Practical Creation). The Contents of the Egg are the Posita-Negative Mass (receptive of the Creative Act). The Yolk is the Positive, and the White the Negative Content. In the Human Female the Eggs are very small. They are called Ova, and
