They “unite” to form, of course, the larger particles in the physical world. These particles are invisible to the human eye, and do not appear in the mundane affairs of daily life—that is, you do not meet a quark on the corner (with amusement) and say “Hello, how are you, state your name and business.” You are familiar then with the idea that matter is composed of a conglomeration of particles that reach seemingly infinitely “beneath” the physical stuff of the world. (Rob: re particles & elements, created without end, distortive instruments, etc.—see session 19, January 27, 1964. Excellent.)
The varieties of consciousness—the inner “psychological particles,” the psychic equivalent, say, of the atom or molecule, or proton, neutron or quark—these nonphysical, charmed, strange forms of consciousness that make experience go up or down (all with amusement), and around and around, are never of course dealt with.
The atom, the molecule, the proton and neutron, the electrons, the quarks and other families of particles represent aspects of consciousness itself, which man then projects into the world of physics.
