To this point, the creative process has been extroversal (meaning “the whole moving outward”) — movement from subtle to dense. Inanimate matter is the densest form of consciousness. Shakti’s static force can transform no further, and its hold must begin to loosen. The introversal phase of creation (meaning “the whole moving inward”) begins as matter finds its way back to pure consciousness again.

The static tendency exerts so much pressure on the solid factor that a tension of forces is created. The center-seeking force of static Shakti clashes with the force of expansion, which is directed from the center outward. These two forces vie for dominance, and a critical climax in the cycle of creation occurs. If the force of expansion becomes dominant, the structure can no longer maintain the delicate balance, and it dissociates into billions of particles.

On the other hand, if there is an imbalance of the five factors within the structure, the object contracts more and more, the tension in the solid factor becomes very great, and an explosion occurs. At this point the densest factor is converted back into subtler factors to “try again.” This means, of course, that no factors are lost. The eventual death of the universe, therefore, is impossible. Furthermore, cosmic mind is never imperiled by the explosions in the dense factor; the particles return to their respective factors. Cosmic mind-stuff remains unaffected, and creation continues endlessly.

The alternative course is that which, when it occurs, is the turning point in the cycle of creation. If, in this struggle between the expansive (centrifugal) and center-seeking (centripetal) forces, the center-seeking force wins, a resultant force is created that controls all of the factors within the structure. All five factors must be in requisite proportions and the balance of forces within the structure must be such that each factor’s energy is controlled and coordinated. The controlling point of all the energies within a structure is called its “vital energy.” With vital energy, the evolution of life begins.
