"It is interesting to note that there is mounting evidence for the existence of ... "syntropy," through the influence of which forms tend to reach higher and higher levels of organization, order, and dynamic harmony. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Nobel Prize winning biologist, refers to it as an "innate drive in living matter to perfect itself." And today many are calling attention to a psychological drive toward synthesis, toward wholeness and self-perfection." ~ Eric Butterworth from Spiritual Economics
Abraham Maslow says, "What one can be, one must be." That's a powerful statement.
You feel that drive deep within us that's begging us to be our highest self? That impulse is (much much much) bigger than you or me. It's a Universal impulse toward wholeness.
We are DRIVEN to self-perfection. Ignore it at your own risk.
"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary: new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or old laws will be expanded and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with license of a higher order of beings." ~ Henry David Thoreau
