And even when some visitor from the upper world, for example some root from a living tree, penetrating its dark recess, honors it with a touch, will it presume to define the form and purpose of its patron, or until the Bioplasm has done its gracious work can it even know that it is being touched?
"Natural Law in the Spiritual World"
Henry Drummond
Neither by studying Bioplasm under the microscope nor by any kind of physical or chemical investigation known, can we form any notion of the nature of the substance which is to be formed by the Bioplasm, or what will be the ordinary results of the living.
