"I suddenly realized that survival was the pin on which you could hang the rest of this with adequate and ample proof. It’s a very simple problem. Idiotically simple! That’s why it never got solved. Nobody had ever looked at anything being that simple to do that much. So what do we find as the simplicities of solution? The simplicities of solution lie in this: that life, all life, is trying to survive. And life is composed of two things: the material universe and an X-factor. And this X-factor is something that can evidently organize, and mobilize the material universe."

With these discoveries now in hand and the many years of study, research and observation, Ron began to compile all his findings in a philosophic work. That historical work, written through the first weeks of 1938, was titled Excalibur.

Recalling those extraordinary days when he recorded his findings in the first of many manuscripts on the subject of Life, Ron noted, "I began to hammer out that secret and when I had written ten thousand words, then I knew even more clearly. I destroyed the ten thousand and began to write again."

Upon completion of this historical manuscript, Ron allowed others to briefly glimpse the pages. The response was dramatic, and more than a few publishers eagerly sought it. But even as the offers arrived, Ron knew that he could not publish the book. That is not to imply that the discoveries of Excalibur were not later used. Today parts of it may be found in The Original Thesis (now called The Dynamics of Life) and most of the basics have all been released, published in other books or materials by Ron.

But in itself, Ron explained, "Excalibur did not contain any therapy of any kind but was simply a discussion of the composition of Life. Thus" he added, "I decided to go further."
