DJS,
If you do not like the word GOD, you can try a different method to understand my post:
We find different types of personalities among humans such as GOOD (identified by purity, transparency, stability and calmness of mind), PASSIONATE (dynamic, excited and action-oriented), LAZY (suffering from illusion, drowsy and ignorant).
In science, materials qualities can also be identified, likewise, by these natures. (1) Those that stands for purity, equilibrium or stress-free state, lustre, luminosity, order and stability of matter. (2) Motion, energy and excitations. (3) inertia, disorder, chaos, darkness and instability.
Currently, multiferroics is an active branch of research in physics and materials science. It deals with three kinds of properties, namely, ferromagnetism, ferroelectrics and ferroelasticity. The prefix ferro in each case represents order. Thus, these three types exhibit spontaneous order, respectively, in magnetism, electrical polarisation and mechanical strain. While different materials exhibit different kinds of order, there is a fervent search to look for all or more than one order in the same material. In the human world, it is equivalent to finding a multifaceted personality, having multiple traits in an indiviudal. Some humans may manifest divine and demonic qualities in varying degrees. Divinity in a man results in fearlessness, mental clarity, commitment to knowledge, tendency for sacrifice and meditation, simplicity, non-violence, truthfulness, free from anger, and is of peaceful mind, tolerant, kind, charitable and free from greed. He is also illumined, forgiving, soft, and pure. Even one of these traits is enough to establish order. More than one can enhance the order by several orders of magnitude. The process is reversible. On the other hand, the demoniac nature leads one to arrogance, pride, intolerance, anger, cruelty and ignorance…. All their activities are aimed at the destruction of righteousness and order.
Whether in mythology or history, there is always conflict between the two natures. Unrighteous people are intolerant of good people. They create discord and chaos in society. The conflicts end invariably and rightly with the victory of divinity over the demoniac. It happens because, when chaos resulting from demoniac activities reaches a critical point, a mechanism emerges from within the system, which restores order. In science it is termed as SELF-ORGANISED CRITICALITY.
