In your time, yes. Water was of course all around.

I have mentioned that atoms and molecules possess consciousness to a degree, as do electrons of course. The organizing principle of small particles into larger particles lies within the particles themselves, and is directed from within in all cases.

The organizing ability grows and potentials become more actual as such particles combine. However all potentialities are latent in each and every unit, regardless of size, and no combinations or coming-togethers are accidental, but are governed by inner principles of organization. All combinations of particles are voluntary, and based upon principles of value fulfillment, which operates within and causes those acts or motions which are conducive to the formation of more complicated gestalts.
