What I meant yesterday by my question about sex, inertia and the physical was this: is sex as much a principle of the physical as inertia?

The sexual sensations do not ‘become’ a principle of the physical consciousness – they are there in the physical nature already – wherever there is conscious life, the sex force is there. It is physical Nature’s conscious means of reproduction and it is there for that purpose.
