ENERGY !?
(A cartoon exploration -Chapter Four)

Reminder: 

The survival of human kind provides good reason to explore the nature of energy. An even greater reason is that the journey of exploration may well open us to amazing and wonderful experiences of existence.

We face major challenges along the way, perhaps none as extraordinary as those created by the ego that resides in each of us. This element of our psyche plays a pivotal role in determining our perceptions and is characterised by both an abhorrence of notions of mortality and an incredible, ingenious capacity for self-deceit. It is well capable of generating vast, sophisticated rationales of denial of change/stewardship and can easily make us our own worst enemy. Smile.


Kinetic energy is commonly portrayed as being completely separate from potential energy rather than as being of potential energy. Chapter Four suggests this belief is unhelpful. One reason is that any manifestation of energy is information and thus it is physical. Another reason is that even the thought that something could happen alters the universal flux in ways we cannot accurately measure. We live paradox in that even our decision of inaction is action. Mind and matter are one. The act of observing alters the observed.
In brief, our division of kinetic energy from potential energy works to disconnect us from all and  to deny we too are the universal change.  In denying our responsibilities in the grand flux we tend to deprive ourselves of myriad wonderful options.
