| or shorter than the restricting cycle. Or one expansion cycle may last longer than the next. Yet | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| obscure. Let us now try to understand what expansion, restriction, and the static principle mean in terms | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| the pulsating movement of consciousness. The movement of expansion expresses reaching out; the restricting movement means bringing | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |

| or exists at the expense of feelings, of expansion, of relaxation, of freedom, then the innermost being | 205 ORDER AS A UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE |
