Seven Life Principles Acting as Urges

To urge is “to press; to push; to drive; to impel; to apply force to, in almost any manner; to press vehemently the mind or will.” An urge is “a force or impulse” that drives one to action.

An urge is the forceful desire of instinctive intelligence or of creature consciousness to gratify some physical appetite chemically, via neurotransmitters or hormones — in other words, some gratification or satisfaction of the self, not the soul. The primary creature urges are to eat, to sleep, and to mate.

The Seven Trinties of Life Principles Acting as Urges include:

1. Mating, Eating, and Sleeping
2. Emergence, Maturity, and Decline
3. Instinct, Intelligence, and Intellect
4. Respiration, Aspiration, and Inspiration
5. Thinking, Planning, and Building (seeking, knocking, and finding)
6. Belief, Faith, and Knowing
7. Lovingkindness, Brotherhood, and Service
