	So that which is initiated from the human head and radiates from there through the whole organism is the purely physical process which pours into the whole organism at the moment when death occurs. This moment is always present in the human head, at least starting from it in a centralising way. It is only paralysed by the vitalisation process from the other organism. The human being actually carries within himself continually the forces which also bring him to die, and he would not be an I if he did not carry within himself the forces of dying.\|313\|40}}		So that which is initiated from the human head and radiates from there through the whole organism is the purely physical process which pours into the whole organism at the moment when death occurs.
