Axiom # 8 – All created things whether tangible or intangible are endowed with the inescapable need and compulsion to express themselves.

If it is given that the above stated axiom is valid then it necessarily follows that it applies equally to each and every quality and characteristic of both the physical and spiritual worlds inasmuch as we inhabit both at the same time and are simultaneously subject to the prompting and urging of both.

It is inconceivable, therefore, that each and every member of humankind could be endowed with each and every attribute of God and that any or all of these qualities would fail to exert their influence or refuse to manifest itself within the makeup of any individual. It is equally inconceivable that each and every non-human organism, each of which has been endowed with at least one attribute of God, would with stubborn perversity fail to express this bounty. It is this inherent dynamic quality of each and every particle of matter, and of each and every attribute thereof up to and including every complex combination that arises therefrom, that forms the basic competitive and confrontational engagement between the spiritual aspect of humankind and the unrelenting demands of nature.

It is inherent in the makeup of all things that they evolve from the simple to the complex, whether it be the electrons that form the molecules, the molecules that form the elements, or the elements that form all the mineral, vegetable, and animal varieties that cover the face of the planet. It is irreversibly inherent in all things that they advance and evolve toward a higher and more complex form and that this dynamic attribute will express itself despite all opposition to the contrary. It is equally inherent that the moment this dynamic quality comes to rest that the dissolution of all of its component parts, that is to say, decomposition and death will ensue. There are no static particles in nature and action is either forward or backward without the allowance for indigence. Innate qualities allow nothing to stand still except as a balance of dynamic forces. This is the middle path, the equity of life, the justice of existence, the nicety of variety, and the lifelong and infinite battle for dominance between the spiritual and the physical forces of nature. However, only the physical form is composed of matter and is, therefore, the only aspect of humankind that devolves and returns to its original constituent parts through the process of decomposition and death. The spirit is not composed of matter and, therefore, cannot devolve and, hence, must act in obedience to its inherent attributes and will continue to advance and evolve even after the death of the physical form for which it was the temporary host and through which it was enabled to express itself in a physical world.
