Synopsis "Hunger for Wholeness, a: Soul, Space, and Transcendence (in English)"
Jesuit scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a keen observer of nature, posited two types of energy in the universe: tangential energy/energy of attraction and radial energy/energy of transcendence--in other words, love and consciousness, which correspond to the inner and outer dimensions of nature, respectively. Moreover, as theologian Ilia Delio points out, nature is never at rest; indeed, "Nature [is] on a continuous trajectory of transcendence."
