overcharged

— This is evidently the case with inanimate matter, but the living organism with active consciousness, which has reached a higher level and is normally rather overcharged with power, seldom retains its energy latent or unused for long. It continually gives out and as continually absorbs energy ; and it is this more dynamic flux and flow, like a lake that is constantly being filled and as often emptied, that constitute life and consciousness as we know it.
