I need a noun which means "to thrive" and/or the state or condition of thriving.

I want it to describe a force.

Like the force of creation, creativity, and "word that means state or condition of thriving."

yes, but the force of creation, creativity and prosper(or flourish) doesnt sound right. Prosper and flourish dont sound like a force. I might be wrong but the rhythm seems off.

That is all there is to it. I am trying to describe a god. The God of creation, creativity, and boom actually sounds pretty good. But it is doesnt sound like organic growth, very good though.

Prosperity? It was just a part-of-speech problem, mainly, I think. Success?

Couldn't it be: "The God of creation, creativity, and growth"? That reads alright to me.

Well, in the Bible, God describes himself (although it's not only one word) as 'I am'. Maybe God cannot be described with only one word.

Hows protean?

Slightly off, but I think the phonetics are nice.

"The protean rise of compentence in the mid-twenthith century was a force to behold."
