«The Final Appeal to Mankind» by Nicolai Levashov
In the course of further evolution such aggregates with their membranes so conjoined
were far more resistant to environmental impact than an individual cell, and they
became the next stage in the evolution of life.
The cells most deeply embedded in the interior of the aggregate were surrounded on
every side by other, more superficial cells, thus rendering the deeper cells practically
impervious to the influence of the environment, in contrast to the surface cells which
remained very much exposed. As a result, in the course of evolution, various cells in
the aggregate began to specialize in different functions. The obvious consequence of
this differentiation was the development of further dissimilarities in cellular appearance
and structure.
These functional distinctions gradually became increasingly apparent. The
differentiation of form and function among the various cells of one complete
cellular aggregate was then established, which, in turn, was subordinated to the
requirements of the organism as a whole — the multicellular organism. The further
developmental stages of these organisms may be found in any standard text on
evolutionary biology.
Let us now focus our attention on the qualitative differences between the various types
of cells that comprise a single multicellular organism. What are the qualitative features
determining differences in cellular function and structure? They are as follows:
First, the curvature of the microcosm inside the cell changes, causing the disintegration
of complex intracellular organic molecules. The spatial curvature reaches the astral
level and the released primary matters begin to flow through the channel to that level.
On the astral level, cells of the astral body begin to form an exact duplicate of the
cell’s etheric body ( (F Fi ig g. . 2 26 6) from the same G-matter as the cell’s etheric body.
