All people have the drive to continue the physicality of life, by their own longer life and/or sexual reproduction. All people have an ‘instinct’ to maintain their physical body…a conservation instinct. All people have a drive to know who they are with…a relations instinct. All people have a drive to know how to adapt in the world…an adaptation instinct. All people have a drive to continue in a ‘spiritual’ (after death) way.
The first includes a principle of sexual or vital energy. The next includes a principle of sameness. We all have the same body parts to maintain life. The next includes a moral principle and an innate will. We have our understanding of how we interact on many levels. The next includes a principle of awareness. We all have the ability to think and reason. The last includes a principle of unity.
