The universe as a whole could have a cause and a purpose only if it were itself created by a conscious agent which transcended it. Unlike the universe, this transcendant consciousness would not be developing towards a goal; it would be its own goal. It would not be striving towards a final form; it would be complete in itself.
If this transcendant conscious being were the source of the universe and of everything within it, all created things would in some sense participate in its nature. The more or less limited 'Wholeness' of organisms at all levels of complexity could then be seen as a reflection of a transcendant unity on which they depend, and from which they were ultimately derived.
Thus this forth metaphysical position affirms the causal efficacy of the conscious self, and the existance of a hierarchy of creative agencies immanent within nature, and the reality of a transcendant source of the universe. *Shedrake*
This hypothesis by Sheldrake gives clear attribution to subconcious vibration within humankind that morphogenisize through nature, and leave inherent factors. *Nawroski*
