Dear Randy:

Atom as a perpetual motion machine  -- a fundamental concept in basic
physics -
Atoms have an existence that is oblivious of the Laws of
Thermodynamics which are man-made axioms and which relate to complex
entities.  But even those are found to be contradicted daily. There
are "anomalies" that have to be looked for and being found form the
basis for Scientific advance and investigation.

See any basic book on astro-physics or physics.  A good library has to
be consulted.

This is where physics and metaphysics meet.  this is where the physics
of the extremely small meet the physics of the large and universal --
how are they united?  What is the true Universal Field theory ?  Note
that it is a theory and this is HONEST -- A "THEORY" is a tentative
explanation of  observed events, and all facts continue to be under
surveillance so that any THEORY is modified by subsequent observations
and experience.  When that is finally made sure of then it is
expressed as a "Law."

Conceptualization and thinking are faculties that neither a dandelion
or a lion have yet developed.
The dandelion and all plants are very sensitive.  The lion and the ant
show instinct and quasi-independence.

Mankind as creative and can educate himself.  He shares in all the
faculties so far developed in the universe.  Therefore universlization
and conceptualization, as also fancy, ignorance, and sloth are part of
his make-up.  What is "self-will?"

Sensitivity is universal but is also graded depending on the level of
experience that any form exhibits.  However awareness, consciousness
is an innate faculty in the form that arises from within or from
behind the form that we contact and see.

Study the 7-fold nature of man and the universe and observe their
inter-relation.  HPB who pioneered Theosophy drew attention to this
from the very first.  It was the dawn of a new kind of psychology.
Man was a self-responsible being.  The whole body of the legal system
of any land depends on the RESPONSIBILITY of each individual to be
charitable, unselfish, generous, and self-guarding.

Theosophy unifies the various disciplines of mankind's study.  It
shows how they inter-mesh.

Behind the physical Universe we all know and sense with our 5 senses
is the Universe of causes, of forces such as instinct, intelligence
and intuition.  What are they ?  I do not mean the description of how
they act or what they do.  I mean where do they come from?  When you
decide to act, what in you makes the decision?  How is it transmitted
into action?.  What energizes the brain?

How do you and I and everyone else generate and use them?  What are
their powers?

The body is a tool to receive and to generate impulses and manifest
many degrees of sensitivity, but that faculty lie entirely behind and
within the physical aggregation.

What causes the molecular aggregation ?  What causes the configuration
of the RNA/DNA ?  What causes growth and limits it?  What causes
fatigue?  What causes old age and death?

What is the purpose of living?  What are our faculties and how  do we
direct them?  What is the difference between "instinct,"
"intelligence,"  "reason," "intellection," "intuition ?"

These are the questions that all Science would dearly like to have
defined and answered.

Theosophy does.

Dallas--Where did you get the idea that an atom is a perpetual motion
machine?  The Second Law of Thermodynamics would argue that if you put
an
atom in a closed system, its order would eventually decay to maximum
disorder...if I am interpreting the law correctly in this case.
Thanks, Randy
