Claim. God established the principle of living for the sake of others not arbitrarily but as the structural prerequisite for love, ideals, peace, and eternity to be possible at all — and even He must conform to it.
Elaboration. “Even God, the Absolute Being, cannot achieve the happiness, peace, and ideal that He desires on His own … the object through which His ideals, love, happiness, and peace can be fulfilled is none other than humankind” (5.3. The rationale for establishing, 75-315, 1975.1.16). SMM presents the dilemma as a divine choice: had God placed the root of the ideal in the subject partner, “all would seek to become subject partners and not object partners. If this were the case, the path to unity would be blocked.” The escalating reciprocity argument grounds eternity itself: 100% → 110% → 120%, “in this process, the concept of eternity can be established. This is how eternity originates” (ibid, 73-326, 1974.8.10). The implication: altruism is not moral preference but cosmological architecture — eternity is built out of returning-more-than-received, and God’s own freedom required this constraint.
