Traditionally, we have believed that God created a good world in which sinful man would live out a quest for salvation. As Job learned, goodness is not necessarily rewarded. Now, after more reading and thinking, prompted by some responses to my earlier statement, I find that there is some scientific evidence that can be understood to describe a physical and psychological environment that has a bias toward pattern, order, balance, health and wholeness. I am not enough of a scientist to be able to explain what I have read, but analogies are suggested between the positive and negative charges in the atomic structure of matter and Jung's concept of polarities in the psyche. The balancing of opposites requires energy, both physical and psychic.
All energy flows between polar opposites.
There is never a settling into the center, but a kind of permanent disequilibrium which requires that the search for balance and the center continues. There is a principle of complementarity that drives the process. Perhaps it is that search for balance that has been called homeostasis. Such living systems periodically break into severe twitching and appear to fall apart. But they don't.
