CHAPTER EIGHT
THE QUICKENING

IN the forming of an organism there is a moment 1 when the Quickening comes, and from that moment the organism becomes a creature of new life and action. Before the Quickening it has life in a certain sense; that is, it grows and has some functional activities, but after the Quickening it has a new power, that of independent or volitional movement, of acting upon impulses of its own. From being a negative being that is acted upon, it becomes an acting entity, an individual with a will of its own.

Take the embryo of a bird in the egg, for instance. The yolk of the egg gradually assumes the form of the bird. Little by little it develops a spinal column, heart, lungs, etc., and all the while it is being nourished in its growth by the albumen in the surrounding white of the egg.

When the form of the bird is nearly complete and it is ready to break forth from the shell, the Quickening comes, and with it the instinct to work its way out of the shell. The bird was alive before the Quickening, but negative and acted upon rather than acting. With the Quickening comes a higher, more positive life, and the power to move and achieve for itself.
