Individuation gives way to the shearing forces of competition, the attention becomes focused on relations between each other, as opposed to one's relation to the community and to the earth, where one's actions begin to orient to the preservation of such things. The individual acts to preserve and buttress the individual, and this instinct is multiplied and achieves a greater social quality of its own, a quality of individuals draining energy from the whole, and breaking away from the whole.
But this state of individuation is necessarily compelled by a failure of the unity to account for the individual, when the individual itself attempts to impress itself upon the unity, and make everything connected to the unity more like itself.
