(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.
