1) The law of <strong>the</strong> transformation of quantity into quality <strong>and</strong> vice versa;<br />
2) The law of <strong>the</strong> interpenetration of opposites, <strong>and</strong><br />
3) The law of <strong>the</strong> negation of <strong>the</strong> negation.<br />
The law of <strong>the</strong> transformation of quantity into quality is <strong>the</strong> basic crutch <strong>and</strong> explains everything,<br />
from <strong>the</strong> sm<strong>all</strong>est particles of matter at <strong>the</strong> subatomic level to <strong>the</strong> largest phenomena<br />
life <strong>and</strong> man. According to this life is <strong>the</strong> qualitative effect of particles in some form of structure.<br />
Let us take a simple case. We have Hydrogen <strong>and</strong> Oxygen which has certain properties.<br />
When <strong>the</strong>y are arranged in a certain way we get water which has properties that none<br />
of Hydrogen <strong>and</strong> Oxygen has as water. "Cool those liquid water molecules down a bit, for example,<br />
<strong>and</strong> at 32°F <strong>the</strong>y will suddenly quit tumbling over one ano<strong>the</strong>r at r<strong>and</strong>om. Instead<br />
<strong>the</strong>y will undergo a ‘phase transition,’ locking <strong>the</strong>m into <strong>the</strong> orderly cryst<strong>all</strong>ine array known as<br />
ice. Or if you were to go <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r direction <strong>and</strong> heat <strong>the</strong> liquid, those same tumbling water<br />
molecules will suddenly fly apart <strong>and</strong> undergo a phase transition into water vapor. Nei<strong>the</strong>r<br />
phase transition would have any meaning for one molecule alone." Where did <strong>all</strong> <strong>the</strong>se properties<br />
come from. The answer of <strong>the</strong> materialist is that it is <strong>the</strong> property of matter. Since <strong>all</strong><br />
cosmos is real <strong>all</strong> <strong>the</strong>se infinite properties are <strong>the</strong> properties of matter which evidently is<br />
equivalent to saying that matter is indeed God. Matter holds infinite potentials <strong>and</strong> infinite<br />
properties as combination with matter <strong>and</strong> motion.<br />
Alternative construction of Cosmos<br />
In direct contrast <strong>the</strong> Kabalistic cosmos start with <strong>the</strong> elemental properties as <strong>the</strong> material<br />
from which cosmos is constructed. The sefirot are qualities such as will, wisdom, love, <strong>and</strong><br />
compassion. They are considered not just as properties of man in fullness but as <strong>the</strong> elements<br />
from which <strong>the</strong> world is constructed.<br />
We know that mind <strong>and</strong> thinking are connected with <strong>the</strong> brain. However <strong>the</strong> material brain<br />
cannot produce mind. In <strong>the</strong> same way every quality of life is not produced by form within<br />
<strong>the</strong> matter but coming from ano<strong>the</strong>r dimension. Intangible objects - consciousness, will,<br />
additional freedoms, concepts, ideas, as well as spiritual, ethical, <strong>and</strong> aes<strong>the</strong>tic values – <strong>all</strong><br />
are dimensions lying outside <strong>the</strong> material four dimensional worlds. They are not explicable<br />
based on Physics or Chemistry. Thoughts intellect, Spiritual existence, <strong>the</strong> various life forms<br />
