I believe, if there are forces at work one can perceive in the macrocosm, there are similar forces at work even in the microcosm. It is the core of all matter, living or nonliving. It is the element of physical energy – criss-crossing, gyrating, pulsating - and any disturbance in their cyclical pattern, results in rude dismembering of recognised forms of existence. I also believe, in this cyclical pattern of forces, there is always an urge to break free, giving life the dynamism required to rise from a lower plane to a higher one.
