It is Teilhard de Chardin who clearly reveals this urge to unite as a fundamental law of nature and a state of consciousness.
Teilhard used the term ' within ' to denote the psychic face or consciousness of matter ~ since the beginning of time ~ which reveals itself in its innate urge to unite.
Teilhard defines this innate urge to unite as an energy force in his famous Law Of Complexity - Consciousness . The law states two principles:
1. Throughout all time there has been an evolutionary tendency for all matter to unite and become increasingly complex in nature.
2. With each increase in material complexity, there is a related rise in the consciousness of matter and an even greater urge to unite.
Teilhard divided this fundamental energy into two distinct components ~ a Tangential energy which linked the element with all others of the same order and a Radial energy which represented the innate urge toward union and greater complexity as well as a leap in consciousness.
It is this Radial energy in matter, this deep urge towards union and completion, which eventually manifests itself as LOVE.
As such, Teilhard's Radial energy is one in the same with what I call a state of Soul Consciousness and The Unified Field. A state of love and soul consciousness that exists not only beyond time and space but also deepest within ourselves and ~ and whose principle property is the universal urge to unite.
As we look at these two star systems uniting ~ are they not becoming increasing complex in nature with that " frenzy of star birth" going on and are they not becoming more conscious in the process with an even greater urge to unite.
Driven by this same innate universal urge to unite ~ are we not being forced to do the same thing and, in the process, become more conscious with an even greater urge to unite.
We cannot escape our destiny and it is divine.
