II.<br />

If it is natural for all beings to desire Unending Happiness; can there be two propositions that<br />

explain why we have this desire?<br />

i. First Proposition: It is a part of our genetic makeup to seek It and/or<br />

ii. Second Proposition: we come from or are a part of It and that is why we naturally seek It.<br />

iii. Is there no third proposition concerning psychological or sociological factors because we may<br />

agree that the desire for It is not learned?<br />

First Proposition<br />

Is the first proposition, that it is a part of our genetic makeup to seek It not fully convincing<br />

because in nature, matter, or the material world we find no example of It?<br />

So how can it be possible for our genetic makeup to desire for something not within material<br />

nature?<br />

If our genetic makeup seeks It then can it be a part of this makeup to seek something outside of<br />

material nature?<br />

Second Proposition<br />

Is the second proposition more likely, as the seeking of It is not of material matter, nature or the<br />

material world and therefore it maybe of a metaphysical or spiritual nature?<br />

2. Is it the materially intangible I or the soul or whatever other name we may give the self the one<br />

seeking It?<br />

For the sake of using a consistent term throughout this text can we call the self or the soul - the<br />

intangible I?<br />

3. Is it an experiential reality that material nature or matter has not, does not and will not ever<br />

provide Unending Happiness to the intangible I?<br />

I. Is it not a fact that no one has, is or will ever claim that matter has given one this Happiness?<br />

Moreover, if one does so, will anyone believe it?<br />

II.<br />

Is it a fact that giving the intangible I matter always fails to give it Unending Happiness because<br />

it is non-material?<br />

III.<br />

Will the intangible I seek It if it knows that it does not exist?<br />

IV.<br />

Does every intangible I always seek It whether through unconscious, subconscious or conscious<br />

means?
