Giving
and Receiving Action
Through the action of the
universal prime force, each subject is brought into a relationship
with a given object to complete itself. Subjects and objects
separated from each other in the creation are partial reflections
of the unity of God, whereas joined in harmony they reflect,
at their proper level, the complete unity of subject and
object within God.

Subject and object need a common
base, which is mutuality of characteristics and purpose, in
order to interact. When they do establish a common base, through
the action of universal prime force in each of them they create
a relationship of giving and receiving energy from each other.
This giving and receiving action draws the subject and object
together, creating a unity that resembles the subject-object
unity of the attributes of their Creator, God. Each finds
completion through its relationship with the other. |
|
| When subjects
and objects are empowered by the universal prime force to
create harmonious relationships, they engage in giving and
receiving action and generate all manner of manifest forces:
electrical, mechanical, mental, emotional, etc. These are
the substantial foundation for life itself: existence, action
and multiplication. Prime force is the intangible source of
life and universal prime force is the intangible foundation
for life. The forces that result from giving and receiving
action are the substantial foundation for life. |

 |
Existence and life are possible
only when there is a flow of energy between subject and object,
with both of them giving and receiving. Breathing would not
work if humans only inhaled; circulation would not work if
humans only had arteries to take blood from the heart to the
body but lacked veins to return it to the heart. Thus all
creation is maintained and develops through the giving and
receiving between subjects and objects. |
| Many of the subject-object pairs and the
forces they generate have been identified by science. For
example, nuclear power, electricity, heat and light are energies
produced by interaction between atoms or sub-atomic particles;
gravitational energy is produced by the interaction between
heavenly bodies, and so on. The foundations for the natural
world are created when protons, neutrons and electrons, empowered
by universal prime force, give and receive energy to form
atoms which, in turn, give and receive electrical forces in
the creation of molecules |
|
| The reproductive dimension of life is evident
in the plant, animal and human kingdoms. In plants, stamens
and pistils interact to produce the biological forces necessary
for the creation of seeds. Male and female animals mate to
produce offspring. Men and women are made by God as subjects
and objects who are endowed with complementary characteristics,
both internal and external, which enable them to form harmonious
and productive couples. Man's spiritual, mental and physical
masculinity is balanced perfectly by woman's spiritual, mental
and physical femininity |
|
 |
In human interaction, giving
and receiving is the basis for the creation of harmonious relationships.
For example, the ideal teacher-student relationship is created
when a student responds fully to the education offered by a
teacher. Their interaction is initiated by the teacher giving
and completed by the student responding. |
|
| On a wider scale,
a leader in society gives direction and vision, winning the
support of followers in the building of social structures and
institutions. A national leader does the same for the whole
nation. In every case, when an object, or objects, reciprocate
the giving of a subject, interaction results and a unity of
being is achieved. Whoever the partners, a relationship is initiated
by giving. |
 |
|
| It is a man's nature to seek completion through
becoming one with a woman, while a woman's feminine nature seeks
completion through union with a masculine subject. In perfect
unity the two become as one, resembling the oneness of God.
Since man and woman are the culmination of God's creation and
the encapsulation of the physical and spiritual realms made
by God, when they unite they become the completed image of God,
the full embodiment of His attributes. The forces of giving
and receiving action produced by their union are the foundation
for their lives and for the creation of their family. |
