octave. The transmission of energy took place through the flora only and in a crude,
incomplete fashion. The situation was hardly altered when the note SOL entered into
play. It is true that the existence of huge specimens of fauna and then the advent of pre-
adamic man had an influence on the volume of operations carried out by the
transmitting station, but a qualitative element was missing. And this element was the
only one capable of producing the resonance of the note LA, that is man's attainment of
the stage of development, stage which was destined to play a catalytic role in the
expansion of the two other notes. It was due to man's intervention that plants of high
nutritive value made their appearance, that certain species of animals were
domesticated, and that selective methods were applied to livestock. These were the
first steps taken on the road to the domestication of Nature, a process which,
sometimes, takes the form of an amplification of the play of natural phenomena and, at
other times, appears as a hindrance to their action. This harnessing is directed
essentially towards the creation of potential utilizable by man. This utilization has
immediate effects on the expansion of flora and fauna in the service of man.
The faculty of utilizing more and more vast sources of energy has a direct
repercussion which tends to provoke what we witness these days: a development, in
geometrical progression, of elements which provide the transmitting station with
power.
