"Always, you stress and emphasise the notion that Mind, Life, Idea is not a power, a force, energy, but a capacity, Master. I am not able to understand the full bearing of that."
"It is the difference between energy and form. It is very basic and sometimes confusing, as in catalysts, Ju Li."
"A catalyst Master?"
"Sometimes, it SEEMS that form is an equivalent of energy. One has a gas burner that ususally is 'ignited' by a spark or some other flame, energy, yet, bring to it a simple blob of material with say, platinum in it and the gas is ignited without spark or flame. What is more, you can use the blob again and again. Still it would be an Un-True Word to say that the catalyst IS a force or energy. It would be better to say that the molecular form inside the catalyst 'forces' the gas molecules to ignite at room temperature. '...yet life is not itself a force; it is a capacity to use force for unique ends' (Schofield 6.). You see, just like Mind, the catalyst uses form to per-form physical possibilities that would other wise not happen. Be convinced, however, that not even Mind (catalyst) can alter the physical laws, only play-out the one against the other. Therefore, it must 'know'. The catalyst is a beautiful physical model of a Mind at work." [225]
