ame type and the _law
of organic growth_ applies to the human _time-binding energy_. We see,
too, that the time-binding energy is also "_alive_" and multiplying in
larger and larger families. The formula for the decomposing of radium is
the same--only the exponent is negative instead of positive. This fact is
indeed very curious and suggestive. Procreation, the organic growth, is
also some function of time. I call "time-linking" for the sake of
difference. Whether the energy of procreation or that of "time-linking"
can be accounted for in units of chemical energy taken up in food, I do
not know. Not so with the mind--this "time-binding," higher exponential
energy, "able to direct basic powers." If we analyse this energy, free
from any speculation, we will find that this higher energy which is
somehow directly connected with "time"--no matter what time is--is able to
_produce_, by transformation or by drawing on other sources of energy, new
energies unknown to nature. Thus the solar energy transformed into coal
is, for instance, transformed into the energy of the drive of a piston, or
the rotary energy in a steam engine, and so on. It is obvious that no
amount of _chemical_ energy in food can account for such an energy as the
time-binding energy. There is only one supposition left, namely, that the
time-binding apparatus has a source for its tremendous energy in the
_transformation of organic atoms_, and--what is very characteristic--the
results are _time_-binding energies.

This supposition is almost a certainty because it seems to be the only
possible supposition to account for that energy. This supposition, which
seems to be the only supposition, would bring us to face striking facts,
namely, the transformation of organic atoms, which means a direct drawing
upon the cosmic energy; and this cosmic energy--time--and intelligence are
somehow connected--if not indeed equivalent. Happily these things can be
verified in scientific laboratories. Radium was discovered only a few
years ago and is still very scarce, but the results for science and life
are already tremendous because scientific methods were applied in the
understanding and use of it. We did not use any zoological or theological
methods, but just direct, correct and scientific methods. There is no
scarcity in "human radium," but, to my knowledge, physicists have never
attempted to study this energy from that point of view. I am confident
that, if once they start,
