Course XXXVII - Teaching 3: The Living Cell

Originally, an organism presents a cellular form.
Originally, human cells have not any spontaneous form but an evolutive form, from the union of atoms of matter to the formation of an ordinary cell.
To realize this process of a human cell, from subtle matter to gross matter, it is necessary to know the theory of descent of monads, from Higher Worlds to the Physical World.
When a being dies, he get rids of his physical body; this body disintegrates, but preserves the original cell that gave him life. But this cell is selected by the physical experience of its last life. As the ego gets rid of the ethereal body during the first forty days after death, this cell experiences a transformation; from cell H becomes cell X. For forty subsequent days, cell X becomes cell X2.
Now, the original X2 cannot be joined together by a tie that is a mental wave and, at a time, is tied to physical remains by a magnetic wave.
Notice that cells H, X and X2 are formed, respectively, by atoms of the same name.
When the ego has to descend to the Physical World, and it is time to go down, the cell X2 is getting, though its mental wave, messages and shocks, which transform its usual rhythm, X2, into its grosser rhythm.
And when the ego, covered by the astral body that would accompany it to the Physical World, forms the ethereal body that will make him fit to live with a physical body, the cell X2 becomes cell X.
The mental wave that unites the ego and his covers with the cell that will give life is of short extension.
An example: all original cells X are on the same physical vibration when it is time to reincarnate; you should imagine there are millions of them that correspond to certain ego; if these cell cannot be transformed, for a period of time on which the ego comes near the covers, in cell H, it undergoes then a shock that repels it, and it becomes again cell X2.
But if it is a suitable physical wave, the cell X becomes cell H.
The cell H cannot undergo a transformation without a physical contribution.
During the sexual act, at the moment that in ovaries there are chemical elements to form the cell H, then the ego can join to the most subtle cell, X; by such contact, this cell X becomes definitely cell H, starting the formation of a man in the mother womb.
All atoms are potentially in an original human cell.
The cell H, or human, is composed of five parts:
1.– Membrane of the cell.
2.– Content of the cell, or protoplasm.
3.– Nucleus, or spherical corpuscle.
4.– Other secondary nuclei, propellers of irritability, or multiplication.
5.– Secondary nuclei of super-irritability, or destroyers.
Cells present every form that, as seen in the Astral Body, accompany diverse atoms, from the square atom of a flat cell to the circular atom referred to the spherical cell.
In a perfect organism, there are 39 x 1 (to the nth power) cells.
They increase from 27 x 10 (to the nth power) up to 39 x 10 (to the eth power).
But gradually these cells are dying.
This numeric transformation of cells is called cell metabolism.
The cell metabolism is ponderable, dynamic and imponderable.
The ponderable metabolism is evolutive, progressive and constructive; it wants to endow the organism with a perfect number of cells.
The dynamic cell metabolism keeps cells alive by digestion, breath and reproduction.
The imponderable cell metabolism is regressive, degrading and destructive.
Decrepitude derives from a loss of cells.
There are organisms of higher vitality that know how to reproduce cells when they die. This occurs in life lived naturally.
A decrease if irritability in a cell creates a favorable field for a super-irritability, which destroys it completely.
