Excess and Profit produces the need for raw materials to create states of abundance. The distinction therein resulting between material for, and end results, is the creation of duality and the polarization of value and consequence. Any or all elements of the natural environment become symbols, for the material to create excess commodities and states. The production of excess, which is used for exchange, from the deer symbolized as moccasins, to the sun symbolized as solar energy, represents exchange to obtain what is necessary, which is not otherwise available. Or it can also be used to create profit. Profit as progressed states, whatever they are, defines the value of whatever the resource is, as symbols of material for profit, which can be anything inanimate or animate to include people. The need for medicine may define the value of the Willow Tree, or the person's occupation may define the value of the individual. This division of consequence is Bipolar Value.

The concept of Bipolar Value is absolutely necessary, as an authority for human conduct, in terms of the creation of progressive states, either at an individual or cultural level. If the Given Existence and everything natural, is interpreted as material only, which possesses no inherent consequence in and of itself, and does not represent an already complete and existent Spiritual State, and furthermore does not represent any result and product which explains its existence, like heaven can be said to explain the reason for the good works of human earthly existence, then everything natural, to include humankind itself, has no innate right of existence, which would protect it from the human capabilities, to utilize it for alternatives as Excess and Profit.

Moral Materialism represents the creation of specific qualifications and standards, which are used to identify by comparison, what can be used, transformed or destroyed, and what human activity and behavior is condoned or condemned. Since what naturally exists has no inherent value, what is of consequence is defined as states which are absent the qualities and conditions of the Given Existence, and which are characterized by the abilities and facilities of human volition. These comparative standards are authorities which represent progressed states absent what is natural.
