RE: BEE COLONY -- TRY ANTS

Hi T:

Bee colony?

Excellent analogy, but read this: some other ideas that are
similar

-------------------------

"Every plane has its own denseness of substance or matter, its
own colors, sounds, dimensions of space, etc., which are quite
unknown to us on this plane; and as we have on earth intermediary
beings, the ant for instance, a kind of transitional entity
between two planes, so on the plane above us there are creatures
endowed with senses and faculties unknown to the inhabitants of
that plane. " Trans, p, 121


:"Q. Does not the perceptive power of the ant-for instance, the
way in which its perceptive faculties differ from our perceptive
powers of color-simply depend upon physiological conditions? 

A. The ant can certainly appreciate the sounds that we do, and it
can also appreciate sounds that we can never hear, therefore
evidently, physiology has nothing whatever to do with the matter.
The ant and ourselves possess different degrees of perception. We
are on a higher scale of evolution than the ant, but,
comparatively speaking, we are the ants to the plane above."
Transactions, p 122


"...[there is an] animal consciousness of a superior kind, such
as is found in the ant and the beaver, ..." S D II P. 120

---------------------------------------------------

Best wishes,

Dallas

PS

Did you ever read Maeterlink on "The Life Of The Ant?" Also, he
wrote on the "Life Of The Bee," and the Termite.

Dallas,

Here's another thought which might be useful for
looking into sum species identification - those
interesting variences (hard/soft many/one(parentals))?

Is that like a bee colony?
