If you were pure animal, right through to the marrow, created
and evolved to be nothing more, you would react to the stress
and pressure of your environment like any other animal, with-
out conflict or second thoughts. But we do know conflict when
we respond like animals; and because we do, we must face the
fact that we are something more than highly evolved animals.
The conflict that we feel, whatever you want to call it, "speaks"
to us of another way of being. It speaks of a form of being that
springs from within and above, different from, and superior to,
the natural order that governs the animal world.
       The anxiety we feel is not of flesh, but of spirit. It comes from
an inner knowing that we should not be responding to stress as
animals do.
       On the animal plane, all living things exist under the law of
survival: kill or be killed. But we, as human beings, must live
under a different system. Whereas the creature falls under the law
of chance, we must find our law in faith. And if our law is to
be just, we must place our faith in the God-given consciousness
