     Yet there is one Outstand- 
     
     ing contradiction to this 
     
     law and that is organic 
     
     life, which obviously pro- 
     
     gresses from the simple to 
     
     the complex,.6rom disorder 
     
     to order. The mechanism by 
     
     which this is accomplished 
     
     is called~evnlutlgn, and 
     
     is executed by means of 
     
     instinct. That"s, cows

     Spiral dive. It is without 
     
     behavioural bounds to keep 
     
     itself from the road of in- 
     
     creasing disorder, from 
     
     entropy, from self-extinc- 
     
     tion; which now becomes

     The species has entered 
     
     the most crucial point of 
     
     it existence, it is on the 
     
     threshold of self-evolvem- 
     
    

    
     ent. But just as a clock 
     
     runs down and buildings 
     
     decay, man too is now sub- 
     
     jeet to the easier tenden- 
     
     cy of running down° It's 
     
     easier to fall than to get 
     
     up, easier to walk than to 
     
    
   
   
    
     . run, easier not to think 
     
    
   
   
    
     than to think, e.sier to 
     
     destroy than to build up; 
     
     easier for destructive th- 
     
     ought than for constructi— 
     
     ve thought. That is becau- 
     
     se energy is constantly 
     
     being subtracted from our 
     
     every act. “0 destroy is

     prevented us from possibly 
     
     complying with the easier 
     
    
   
   
    
     .way. 
     
    
   
   
    
     how we find a new myster- 
     
     ious entity among us. Some 
     
     call it evil, some the DE- 
     
     VIL, some call it man's 
     
     nature or character. Yet 
     
     it is none of these. It is 
     
     only indicative of the fa- 
     
     ct that man is ON HIS OWN. 
     
     Now the instinctive purpo- 
     
     se has been erased, as man 
     
     must discover his CONSCIO- 
     
     US PURPOSE . He is like an 
     
     awkward baby trying to ma- 
     
     1k° He falls, he knocks 
     
     things down, breaks them. 
     
     Each and every act and th- 
     
     ought, to continue along 
     
     the evolving trends erran- 
     
     ic life, must eXpand extra 
     
     energy to first overcome 
     
     the tendency to fall, to 
     
     drift to disorder° Man is 
     
     now at the bottom level of 
     
     his conscious evolution 
     
     which can be pictured as 
     
     an inverted funnel. At the 
     
     lowest level, free will 
     
     can choose a myriad of po- 
     
     ssibilities all around him. 
     
     Yet only a few are constr- 
     
     uctive, negentropic, and 
     
     lead him upward. The fart— 
     
     her up he progresses, the 
     
     fewer possibilities are 
     
     afforded him as the destr- 
     
     uctive possibilities beco-
